    What abt Multitasking!?

    • karthikk88

      Multitasking is not going to work on iPhone 2G unless we do some hardware changes! :(. And Backgroundr works but it crashes a lot! 🙁

        You can have multitasking on 2G without hardware changes. 3G HW is the same as 2G (except the modem and GPS), and you can enable it on JB iPhone 3G.The problem is that there is no iOS4 for 2G iphone. Only things like this – 3.1.3 with couple packs from Cydia…

          True! But I was using Backgroundr before on my 2G. It crashed almost all the time I used. 🙁

    Does it allow you to install apps which depend on the 4.x firmware?
