The new app is particularly very useful while using applications like MxTube and iSlsk as it saves a lot of battery because you can run them in background and then press the sleep button but still you will have an uninterrupted download.
To use it, just tap the iAwake icon, and it will turn on. To switch it off tap it again. You will find this app in Utilities if you have ModMyiFone repositories added in your sources.
