I use an application by valksoft called "space reclaimer" to clean the rubbish from my xda2i (it closes open programs,removes IE junk, cleans temp folders and a few other bits as well).
Whenever i run this I always get "applications closed 1" even if i've closed all running programs before launching it.
Does anyone know which application is closed? (even if i run it again after it finishes i still get the same report - this happened on my xda2 as well).

A lot of times I will get random programs that I never use listed as open in the task manager. Mp3 store, nba league pass, documents to go, they all keep opening up again even though I never use them. Is there a reason for this? There are other apps that do this too, I just listed the ones I see most often.
Yes, this is normal. Android loads applications until the RAM is almost full, so they're ready to pop up in an instant when you actually launch them. If an application requires more RAM to work with than available, the system will shut down some of the inactive applications.
There are those task auto-killer programs out there that people use because they think it makes their phone run faster or tidied up, but in fact, most of the time they will slow it down because applications will take longer to start. And consume more power, because there's more work to do when starting an app. A properly written application won't consume any power when inactive, and the RAM has to be powered anyway, so that's why you want it to be used as much as possible.
Thanks for the info!
Is there anyway to exclude certain apps from opening up? There are apps on the phone like mp3 store or the stock messaging app that I would never use, so it would be more worthwhile to get the system to keep apps I actually use open instead of just random ones.

Search.. All your questions have been asked and answered before.
whenever i attempt to make a phone call the dialer screen crashes and gives this error. com.sec.android.app.dialertab. only thing i have done to the phone is root it i installed launcher pro juice defender and setcpu both of which are no uninstalled now. i also did the settings.db mod to allow non market apps and i removed a few of the att bs apps but nothing that has to do with the phone. mostly the ones they want you to pay month fee for.
When I had task panel set to auto kill when the phone slept.....every phone call dropped as soon as I put it up to my face and the screen blacked out. I uninstalled my task killer and it solved my problem. Not the same circumstances that you have but......just a thought.
Unroot your phone or try to obtain an unmolested settings.db.
What ROM you are on...
Chances are high that you deleted something that was required by the dialer. Crashing can occur when a program (in this case, the dialer) relies on another program for pieces of information or to carry out specific tasks on its behalf, and that program is no longer present on the device.
You can test this by running the dialer while having your phone connected by usb with debugging enabled (settings>applications>development>usb debugging). If you have the android SDK installed, go to the platform-tools directory and type 'adb -d logcat'. You should see the system log being dumped to the screen. If you run the dialer and it crashes, the log will reveal why in the stack dump (most likely the dialer fired an intent and there was no application that could handle it - in other words, something that used to be there that the dialer relied on was deleted).
The easiest solution in your case is to either restore the files you deleted, or to simply back up your apps and data with titanium backup, then flash the stock rom or a custom rom and restore your apps.
Also, please keep things like this in the appropriate subforum from now on (Q&A or General).
Is there a script or a program that can stop certain programs from starting on boot?
Backgroud:
My issue is that I have AutoKiller, but I don't ever see it actually closing (killing)
programs automatically, and on startup my memory can go down to the 30mb
range. After killing programs that I don't use (read "Empty" apps) unless the need arises (read games/utlities) I'll have around 100mb.
Anyway, is there a way to get these programs to not run on start at all? It'll save me the time it takes to close these programs when I boot up the phone.
Old question I know, but most answers only mention memory handling. When memory runs out, Android closes background apps automatically.
Fine, but what about all the CPU the app takes up while loaded in background?
I just made a little test with a few games (only apps I have that will actually use up all memory). Memory-wise it works fine, if I load to many the games in the background will get unloaded. But if I only load up Worms and press "home" to get it into the background, it will still be loaded and take ~30% CPU
If I use "back" most apps will really close, but some are really annoying to close this way since you have to go through all the pages you have viewed (like IMDb).
The browser will not even close this way so I might as well just press "home".
What's the solution? I dont want to find out the specific way to exit for every single app, I want a universal solution. And "home" doesnt seem to be that universal as I hoped.
it often happens that when applications are not used they are automatically closed to the system.
How can I make sure that the applications do not close by themselves when they are not used is there any system?
Thanks
