Does anyone know of any program i can use to directly stop these unwanted apps to stop running every time, or any individual information on the programs?
cheers
Why do you not want them preloaded?
The main reason im being such a memory whore is because my launcher lags like crazy under 70-80mb. I have 250ish apps, and see many people with a similar setup demonstrating on youtube, and theirs is instantly responsive, as is mine >120mb free. If I leave all these apps etc free, i end up on ~40mb which makes my old nokia 6300 looks like flash gordon compared to my launcher :/
Re: Apps seem to open themselve sin the background when they
Android preloads apps into its memory for fast load times.
Just because an app is loaded does not mean it is using any resources. They're usually just sitting there idle. Android also frees up memory as needed.
That said, I've seen apps that can control what apps you never want preloaded. Search around on the market.
Looks like the slowdowns from a lack of ram still exist. I hope froyo will help with this. This problem makes the lower end android phones run slow.

Hi,
It appears that any time I reboot the phone, it starts with all applications loaded.
Unless I go to Advanced Task Killer and kill all, my phone is very slow. Also free memory jumps from about 90M to 150M after the kill.
Does anyone know ho to stop that from happening? Is there some kind of startup list that can be edited?
I am using rooted UCJH7 but no other tweaks and fixes.
Thanks
You could have just searched the market for 'startup'.
There are quite a few startup editor apps in the market, I haven't tried any, but most of the reviews seem pretty hit or miss. Just search "startup" in the market.
Well android handles memory management really well. Those apps load up and take a very small amount of memory and when you open the app it will increase the memory usage and when you close it it will run in the background again and take up very little memory. The fact the apps are open in the background shouldn't slow down your phone. The fact you have 90mb free is good. This isn't windows mobile where the more free memory you have the faster your phone is. There are apps u can use to see if your apps are running in the background or foreground when your not using them. If they are running in the foreground and taking up alot of memory then there's a problem. Hope i explained the memory management well enough.
And btw for future reference, read the stickies. You posted this in development. Should be posted in Q and A

The fact remains, free memory almost doubles after I kill them.

The fact is that they do slow down the phone a lot.
The problem is that it seems that all applications get fired indiscriminately. And the question is if someone with some knowledge of Android internals can shed some light on that.
I will post specific numbers on memory after I reboot it next time.

i too thought so initially. but when i started observing, i observed that the apps that load up at start up are generally the apps that i frequently used.
Is there a task tiller that actually works with froyo I tried a bunch from the market but .none of them seem to work apps will still run on the background tanks in advance

Advance Task Killer Free works great for me
You don't need a task killer. Android 2.0 and up uses what is called an out of memory manager (OOM). If the phone needs memory for something, it'll automatically kill apps to free up space. If you really want to control your phones memory, get an app like Autokiller. It'll allow you to change the OOM manager settings. But, like I said, with 512MB of memory, you don't need it.

You only mention killing an app to free up memory but what if you want to kill it because it's consuming network resources or has gotten into a bad state?

You can also kill apps with it but if it's an app taking services it will most likely just restart after killing because chances are more then one app is using that service which is why its being used a lot in the first place

Hi to all,
Was playing around many task manager software and etc etc to find a perfect task killing solution.
Finally found the best possible combination, now i always have 280 to 300 mb of memory free. Posting it here so that it will be useful to many.
Software needed.
1. AndMemory.[Rooting Needed].
2. Advanced Task Manager.
3. Process Monitor.
4. Fast reboot(Optional).
How to:
1. Install AndMemory and configure the preset of "Top Speed".
2. Place Advanced Task Manager's widget and Process Monitor widget in homescreen.
3.Configure the Process Monitor.
---->settings-> Autokill preferences-> [Select first 3 options].
---->settings->Widget Preferences->Widget Kill Action->[Select Kill Al Process].
---->settings->Widget Preferences->Top Value->[Process Count]
---->settings->Widget Preferences->Bottom Value->[Memory]
Thats it!!!!!
Note: If you want to free memory manually just click those two widgets placed in the homescreen.
Now the system always has more memory available, which keeps it lag free and also saves battery a lot.
Hope this helps our forum members
hey bala..can u plzz share ur weather widget or any link??
@ adiii
Search for "LG Optimus 2x weather widget" in google .
I think i should not post such links here.
People can also use "Quick Reboot" for closing applications instead of "Advanced Task Manager"
bala I cant find in the market
1. AndMemory. is the name correct?
My understanding after reading a thread here on xda is that killing the process is not helpful accept that you get higher value of free ram but many apps will again occupy the ram as they are designed to do so & by doing so they start much faster. let me find that thread I will post here.
Found that thread
Why You Shouldn’t Be Using a Task Killer with Android
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678205
After reading that I would prefer to have lag fix applied or use tweak provided by rex4u instead killing the apps that should be better .......what do you say?
@ sgsl
I read that article, nice information. But every task manager is not the same, if all the task manager simply kills the process alone then there is no difference.
The above combination gave me lagless phone usage.
Here is the link for AndMemory
http://www.xda-developers.com/android/andmemory-for-android/
This AndMemory tweaks the built in android memory management.
How memory optimizer works
http://andrs.w3pla.net/autokiller/details
whats ur opinion?
As for as rex mod of build.prop, The following are the tweaks made,
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
ro.sf.lcd_density=230
All the other are same as my original build.prop. There is no tweak for better battery management as said.
Also having one more doubt , the "ro.ril.gprsclass=10" tweak needs a customized kernel in order to work.[May be im wrong]
Waiting for reply from rex....
hey man
use Super Manager(all in one)
ur memory always 240+
when u unlock u get 313+(i get)

@bala_gamer
I only installed And memory & I don't find it freeing more memory than other apps which Ihave been using so I uninstalled my apps & then checked it with And memory its still the same (always 135-200mb free) and that too you have to do it manually the auto setting even after applying do not work.
Seems i am doing something wrong with this app & more over since i installed it something is eating up my battery even in ideal night it consumed 7% where as before it was 2% in the night.
I test it for 1 more day & see if i can get 300mb as you said but I doubt that freeing 300mb will last any longer it will free up & after 2-3 mins the apps again start & would consume it.
Hi friends,
Is there any way out thr to free up memory without rooting the device , i hv tried few task killer app from market but every time i kill the processes it restart automatically .. I m really wired up with this behavior.. Also great help if anyone share links to root the device from gb 2.3.5. Is it possible to root without flashing new firmware??
Hello to you all
I need help with finding a good app . (the phone is't rot)
This is about the keeping ram memory clean
When I look at the running apps i notices that there are a few apps that keep on running even though I didn't used them for t while for example: Shazam , 9GAG , Facebook messenger, GetTaxi and some others.
thus apps takes some ram space and use battery I wondered if there is an app that block them from keep opening from themselves.
Will appreciate your help
try greenify,can run without root
CCleaner just came out with a mobile app. It's pretty slick, check it out.

Applications are held in RAM for easier access to load again when you open the app at later date. RAM cleaners/task killers can (though it sounds strange) make your battery life worse,*as your phone has to use cpu power to reopen the apps again and place it in memory
