In iOS6 killbackground worked but nothing so far for iOS7 that I know of. I'm waiting for that tweak also.
Got a tip for us?

What is the point of this? iOS7 does it automatically?
EDIT: Will you save battery? Or use less cellular data?
Slide in bottom left - App Switcher
Join Wifi - Deactivate cellular data
Leave wifi - Activate cellular data
Scheduled Aeroplane mode (low signal at work which drains battery)
Flick up Mail, Facebook, Twitter icon - Compose post
Double press sleep button - Flashlight
Double tap status bar - Lock
Hold Volume up/down buttons - Next/previous track
Locked device - Enable vibration
Unlocked device - Disable vibration
Long hold sleep button - Custom menu for Lock, Respring, Reboot, Power Down, Safe Mode
Saves battery power.
It doesn't do it automatically, it just replaces the 3G/LTE status bar icon with a Wifi icon. You can test this by enabling the tweak then checking Settings, Mobile will go off.

No special reason. Just i like to do that. I know iOS does that but it does not explicitly turn off cellular data.
If I try to assign any gesture to activate Siri, it just gives me a black screen. Anyone know why or how to fix this?
Couldn't agree more I got
Double tap status bar: acts as hitting home button in app
Single tap status bar : puts phone in sleep mode
In lock screen
Tap left on status bar: brings up twitter
Tap right on status bar: brings up FB
2x tap center: brings up bitesms
I am much like the OP I just started using this app, so I'm learning. Have experience on android apps like tasker and llama
Select Anywhere, Joined Wifi Network, then scroll down to the Deactivate Switches section and choose Cellular Data. Then do the same thing for Left Wifi Network except choose the Activate Switches and then choose enable Cellular Data.
I use these events too but instead disable LTE when connected to wifi. Then once I go outside and I'm out of range, LTE turns back on automatically. For me this is much better.

that's exactly what I do too after I learned you can do this
take what I say with a grain of salt but I read a while back LTE actually uses less power than 3G/4G, but the reason why it seems to suck up more battery when enabled is because of the lack of VoLTE
Because there is no VoLTE, the 3G/4G radio is still enabled when you enable LTE, so then that's why enabling LTE uses up more battery
You'll notice that if you're on LTE, the second you get that ringtone from someone calling you, that LTE symbol will immediately jump down to 3G/4G without stuttering so I think this may actually be the case (both radios being enabled)
Can anyone point me how i need to in music app while charging to prevent phone to not go to sleep or locked? Sorry if this sounds stupid..
Easiest way would probably be to have an activator action to enable/disable auto lock. Or you can install flipcontrolcenter and have a toggle to enable/disable auto lock
On the lock screen - long hold power button - do nothing (suppress original action). This keeps your phone from being shut off while locked
This is why I like IGotYa.. It lets you disable powering down on the lockscreen (as well as emailing the GPS location and picture of the person trying to do so). ;-)
I had a tweak installed on iOS 5.1.1 named "Dim to Black", it would not let the phone get locked but would dim the screen to black and hence i could just tap the screen to get it back and no need to slide to unlock everytime.
But this is not for when you are keeping phone in pocket and such, it is only when it is on say desk or something and you want phone to get not locked.
I know you can set the lock timeout to large value like 30 Minutes but i chose the tweak instead.
no turning off cellular data only disables 3g/4g, calls and sms will not be affected. However you need 3g/4g or wifi to receive and send iMessages.
You right, that's exactly why i need it for, only when i have my phone in the cradle in my car. Thx.

Thanks buddy.
