It may not bring the foremost exciting of functionality to a jailbroken device, however the new VertaSwitch tweak that has simply landed on Cydia will provide users the power to alter the visual app switching properties of the device. As we tend to all ought to recognize by currently, switching between running apps is as straightforward as double pressing the house button to invoke the app switcher and then choosing the required app to display.

 

The VertaSwitch package does not exist to vary any of the quality native functionality that we are all used to, however it will amend the animations that occur when switching between backgrounded apps. during a native installation of Apple’s iOS, the preferred direction of app switching is a aspect animation that sees the currently running application exit from the left and therefore the selected app enter from the correct hand side of the display. When installed, VertaSwitch merely amends this animation from a horizontal switching to a vertical one that means apps enter and exit during a vertical fashion.

After installation, VertaSwitch doesn’t append the Springboard with any further icons and does not bring any of its own preferences bundles through the native Settings app. The tweak is completely self reliant and exists purely as an extension to the operating system, hooking into the multitasking animations to vary the manner they perform.

The Cydia platform already contains quite an outsized range of tweaks and packages that provide users alternative solutions to Apple’s native multitasking implementation. A number of the accessible choices simply create tiny modifications to the native manner it’s handled, but some developers have chosen to totally implement a replacement system within the hope that it provides an improved answer for users.

VertaSwitch might not rewrite what’s already there however it’ll be a successful installation for those users who are proud of the already offered answer and simply desire a easy aesthetic enhancement. Head on over to Cydia and provides it a whirl, finally it’s free.

VertaSwitch is on the market as a freed from charge download from the BigBoss repository and needs a jailbroken device running iOS 4.0 or above.
