First: Install iFile
Open Cydia. Wait until its done updating/reloading data, then tap 'Manage', 'Sources', 'Edit', and 'Add'. Type http://sinfuliphonerepo.com/ and tap 'Add'. Acknowledge that the Repo is illegal and wait while Cydia is refreshing sources. Then tap 'Mange', 'Sources' and SiNFuL iPhone Repo. Scroll down to iFile Cracked, install and confirm. Exit Cydia.

Second: Open N72AP.plist
Open iFile and navigate to /System/Library/CoreServices/Springboard.app and open the N72AP.plist. There will be listed all the capabilites.

Third: How to add
To add a capability, search for the right spot (alphabetical order) and press return after <true/>. Then press the spacebar until the alignment is correct and type:

Multitasking:
<key>multitasking</key>
<true/>

<key>homescreen-wallpaper</key>
<true/>
