App Closer - G1 Apps and Games

You know wht wud b sick ? if there was a kind of task manager for android where i could choose wht default apps if open should remain open, other than that the moment i switch to another app the previous app if not on that list should be closed instead of me using a task manager to manually close it.
Dont respond with "oh android already does that" well it does that after a certain number of apps are open and memory is full, i want it to be done the instant i open another program.
Is there an app like this ?

i'm not sure if what i'm telling you is kind of what your looking for but the TasKiller app lets you put running apps in an ignore list so you can press the button to kill all taks and it'll leave the apps you ignored running. the free version of the app will let you ignore 2 apps whereas the paid version will let you ignore as many as you need.

Yea im usin "close everything 2" pretty sick cuz it shows num of programs runnin tht are not on ur ignore list....n when u tap on the widget it closes everything..yea but i was thinkin of somethin tht wud automatically close the previous program.

Yeah, I was looking for something like this as well. I'm using the paid version of taskiller and I'm getting tired of constantly tapping my screen. I know it can be done. I wish taskiller could be programmed (like every hour) to automatically "tap" itself and kill apps automatically. It would be the next logical step, no?

apps on startup

hi guys was just wondering if there is a way to change how apps there are running on startup, because i noticed that whenever i turn my phone on it takes a while for everything to fullly load. i checked my task killer app only to find all of my apps were running which is why i think it takes a while to load after being turned on. i think i saw a thread on here a while ago but i can seem to find it. thanks in advance.
bump someone must be able to give me an answer...even if its to say that it isnt possible.
You can use TaskPanel, which is free on the market, works sort of like task killer but better, you can add programs to an autokill list and it stops them from running services until you want them too. I use it for my craigslist app cause I never set alerts on it but it's always running in the background which I don't need.
ok thanks will try that now

App request! One touch kill all.

I would like an app with no GUI. I want to be able to assign it a quick launch key and I want to to kill all tasks when pressed.
Sometimes my phone gets so SLOW that I want to just restart it. But it takes a long time to boot so it's a catch 22.
I have a Taskkiller app but when the phone is going that slow, the app won't even start. I need a quick key press to just kill everything.
Hope someone can make this for me.
theyre plenty of these in the market try searching >.< taskiller also has a kill all button but prob doesnt help cause for you it doesntopen.

All the apps I've tried have GUIs so they won't work as a quick launch shortcut.
If you know the name of one that's not a GUI I would appreciate it.
If you have the app "TasKiller" by Thibaut Nicolas from the market it comes with a widget that kills all with one tap. I know it isn't what you were asking for but it may help with what you want until someone else has a better suggestion.
taskiller does this
it comes with a widget that will kill all
I have the paid version of taskiller and I love it. But the widget doesn't work if you aren't on the home app.
taskiller is a ramkiller...the widget seems to eat up ram for me.

Accept terms whenever you access the market application?

Every time I press the market application it takes me to terms and conditions. Its not a huge hassle i just accept them over and over again. Anyone else?
not rooted
Did you try to clear the data from settings>applications>manage applications?

thanks for the reply. Yes i actually do that with a lot of apps pretty regularly.
I also just pressed Maps and it went through the initial page like its the first time to press it ever or after an update. It doesnt happen every time with this app but sometimes. Again its not a big problem just kind of curious...Im going to keep track of all of the apps this happens with, maybe its native apps only, not that that would necessarily mean anything to me. Oh well, i forgot to mention i have the test froyo so in all probability its just a temporary issue until the official 2.2 is released.
I'm alos using Froyo and i don't have this issiue. do you maybe have a app that clears everything, like cache?
What i noticed in Froyo you can clear everything, if you do this the app acts like a fresh start. I had this with browser, lost all my bookmarks. Luckily i had a backup with titanium.
I don't have an app like that afaik but it sounds like it could be the cause so I'm going to go ahead and check my apps again. Thanks
If you are running an app like Advanced Task Killer or any other task killer app, you need to make sure Maps and Market are on the exclude list. From what it sounds like, you have it set to kill apps whenever you turn the screen off. So when you click on Market, it asks you to accept. Try this. Go into Market. Hit Accept. Click the home button, then click back on market. Does it prompt again?

So i tried what you said and when i immediately reentered the market i didnt get the terms and conditions page. Ive accessed the market 4 times today and ive had to accept terms twice.
However i stopped using a task killer a month or two ago. Could it be some app interfering?
Also, I have one nexus one that i use just to charge a battery so i exchange batteries usually at least once each day, i wonder if that could reset it? Except Maps has worked fine all day and i have to go through the initial info screen in that app every now and again. strange...
One last thing. When i use Flikie HD wallpapers, about evry third time i use it it freezes my phone and i have to pull the battery, but im not exactly sure when i installed that app and i believe the market/maos and other apps issue began prior to installing it, but possibly not. A lot of factors in play here

More stable with this thing ! Please try !

Hi every one, I have recommend for you to have more stable than when run android. If you often use any Task Manager app, please don't use option kill all app or auto kill app. It will make more eror, stop app, keypad die ! I don't use any Task Manager and it run more stable than other people !
Why? because don't like windows or IOS, android don't have option to stop app exactly! I develop game in android and find all document but never see how to stop app. just have option to close app but it still run in background ! system will auto free it when needed! have you ever see any button like "close" in all app from google?
So, please try if you want use task manager, just manual kill app or game you don't want use, and don't kill any system app ! Better thing is don't use task manager like me ! maybe you will not see any eror again and report here if it work for you ! Thanks all !
I never use any auto kill apps and i only ever experience key freezes, never SOD's.
So your quite right i think

I think you're right
I don`t agree. If you wish to kill any application you can allways go to settings manage applications and to force close when you select it from the menu

Yes, you can force close, but only ONE app! if you choo option kill all or auto kill ... it will kill all app, include system app ..., then it can have eror!

[Q] Any way to prevent apps to start by themself on i9000 ?

Yea yea I did search for task killers and process managenet. Didnt find what I wanted. I want to prevent apps to launch not to kill them instantly when they launch. Anyone know any app that makes this happen ?
you could freeze the apps with titanium backup, dont know if you need the pro version to do that.
otherwise you could search around for autostart apps, i used one for some time ago to prevent apps from starting at startup, but i dont renember what the app was called!
just search around the market for autostart
Hope this helps you!
thanks i'll check that out
check out Gemini App manager. it does what u need and free.
