We are all aware of the advantages of flashing custom ROMs over stock, especially when your phone comes with carrier branding.

iOS 5 is by far Apple’s greatest OS yet. However, since the release of iOS 4, Apple has began to include multitasking as a feature. As nice as this is, it can sometimes cause your phone to start to slow down or you notice the battery is draining more than normal. Before, you would have to hit your home button twice, hold down on one of the apps, and close each one individually. Now, in iOS 5 we have the Notification Center, which allows us to see our important information with just a swipe down on the top bar. Weekillbackground is a jailbreak tweak that adds a quick way to close all your apps running in the background right from the notification center.
