Like Sebastien , I uninstalled the popular jailbreak tweak Auxo earlier this year. Though beautifully designed, the app switcher replacement felt a little too bloated for me, and I was convinced that it made my iPhone slower.
I do miss a few of Auxoâs features though, like its revamped iPod controls and the ability to swipe down on an app icon to close it out of the switcher. But luckily, a new tweak just came out that takes care of the latter for meâ¦
Iâm talking about Slide2Kill, by developer Suu. The new, aptly named jailbreak tweak allows you to remove apps from your app switcher by either swiping down on them, swiping up on them, or performing a long press hold.
Once installed, the tweakâs options can be configured from your Settings app. Thereâs an enable/disable toggle, sliders for swipe sensitivity (both up and down), and menus to set Slide Up, Slide Down and Long Press actions.
Each menu gives you two options to choose from: Kill all or Kill single. So for instance, I have my Slide Up action set to âKill all,â and my Slide Down action set to âKill single.â I actually really like this setup, itâs very intuitive.
My only problem with Slide2Kill is that it feels like a beta version. Animations are slow at times, and thereâs been a few occasions where the entire tweak just quit responding to my gestures. I had to respring my iPhone to fix it.
But other than that, itâs a solid idea. And Iâm hoping the developer continues to improve upon it. If youâd like to check out Slide2Kill for yourself, you can find it in Cydia, in the BigBoss repo, for free.
Have you tried Slide2Kill yet? Thoughts?
