Background Manager is a recently released tweak from deVbug that brings true multitasking to iOS 6.

The default iOS multitasking works by suspending the process in the memory. However with the Background Manager, you can choose to run any app on the background as if it was running on foreground.

Notably, Background Manager is not an update to the popular Backgrounder tweak; rather, it's a tweak that was completely written from scratch to bring Backgrounder-like functions to iOS 6.

The latest update to Background Manager fixes issues with app crashes, apps not loading, and badge numbers. Preferences are configured from the Settings app.

You can purchase the tweak from the Cydia Store for $0.99.

After the last update to this app and adding the tweak by rpetrich I believe that added the card style selections(can't remember name and not jailbroken right now) I was totally happy with the way it backgrounded apps. And I disagree about this should be free just because its not a theme or fun. It was useful and made 6.1.2 backgrounding tolerable. I would pay for it again if it gets fixed and is needed for ios7 if/when a jailbreak is released. This guy spent time and effort to make it...why not pay a little for it?

nope it doesn't work and like those tweaks should be free because they are a system apps not theme's or fun tweaks so if u can be based on backgrounder and make your's more useful it will be great and we don't want native or none mode we only want the background to be selected for a selected apps and u are good to go when you launch the apps a message pop's up inform you that the background option is enabled and however we minimize or maximize the apps it will be on the background mode until it will be closed and in all i want this apps only for the iTransmission apps that downloads torrent's if you could manage your background to work with it i will be greatfull

Really really really wanted this app to work. Ive missed Backgrounder since updating IOS. It WILL background,but its really clunky.It also somehow seems to affect touchscreen sensitivty..typing misses every third tap almost,scrolling is hit and miss at best,,just bad. It also needs Activator integration as a "must". Even for only .99 cents it needs more work by dev(who needs to use some English which he seems to soeak as well as Korean).Shouda waited til it was closer to finished before releasing for a pay.
