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?

Advanced Task Manager has this ability.
thanks, just downloaded it..seems like a very powerful app.
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
Ive been adding a deleteing alot of apps since I got my phone. The usual "new toy" deal.
What the best way to actualy delete them. Ive been going through setting>apps>manage>unistall
When I got to the monitor it says my memory is only 23% free. Is this normal, or am I looking at the wrong thing? Is there anyway to install apps on the added microsd card?
Sorry if such a newb question.
Download titanium backup from the market, or uninstaller. Uninstaller gets rid of all apps you've installed and titanium backup can get rid of the other miscellaneous odds and ends.

hold down the app icon of the app you want to remove and move it down to the little trashcan that pops up but don't let it go wait until it says uninstall and then let it go. this will take you directly to the uninstall screen for the app. no need to install any other apps. hope this helps.
So, as far as your memory percentage goes, don't give it too much worry. I don't recommend any task "killer" apps to solve that though, they aren't good for you phone. A task "manager" app would be okay to use. You could also try unchecking the box to sign into Gtalk automatically (Find that in the Gtalk settings) or just not using so many apps at once.
The two posts above forgot to mention a few things. Titanium Backup requires root access. There's an app in the Market called OCLF (One Click Lag Fix) that can help you easily obtain this. If you use Titanium Backup, you can also remove some AT&T bloatware that comes with your phone, only if you want, of course.
ADW.Launcher will allow you to drag an app icon over the trash can that pops up after you long press on one. Just hold it over for a few seconds and it will ask if you want to uninstall it.
So, there are plenty of easy, free ways to help you out!
Hey, hope your're fine, people.
Say me please: is it possible to make an exception for one of the user's apps from MIUI App Killer?
I'll explain:
For example, imagine that i installed an application (in my case it's "wave launcher") that should work on the background, but App Killer is closing all non-system processes, when i'm pressing the button "App Killer". So can i make an exception for the MIUI App Killer by myself or find its settings anywhere? Does it have any settings or something as well?
I'm on MIUI. Not regular Android.
Thank you!

Yeah ^^
I wana do the same...
Might play around with moving apps to system with root explorer [after nandroid BU o/c]
Maybe that'll keep my monitoring/scaling apps from being restarted & having to re-do settings ain:

I am not sure you need to freeze it. I had a rooted Arc before, and used Android Assistant to stop apps like this starting up. The real benefit of it is you can block all the listeners' every app and service has. The listeners are what makes it pop back up again when you have killed it (like WiFi sharing does, and &*^% Social Hub & Buddies!).
Used with the start up kill as well, you have a clean fast start, more RAM, and more battery. The price is zilch too, although I recommend buying it just to support it. What's not to like?
Edit: It is autorun that stopped things loading, and listening to events. Android Asst just prevents loading on boot.
Install Titanium Backup or AntTek App Manager and freeze it/them. I've done it myself.
And how to do it with antek application manager
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
1. You must be rooted of course
2. Open the app and hit the "Apps" tab
3. Search for "Wi-Fi Sharing Manager" and "Wi-Fi Sharing"
4. Tap on it/them and choose "Freeze"
5. Done!
Thank you very much

Is this the only way to get rid of this? I think this is also the case for my bad battery performance as well. So, no way to stop it or kill it without 3rd party software?
Nope, it's a system process, so you'll need root to freeze/delete or do anything about it. If you kill it manually using a task manager the process with start again within seconds.
How long should it take? I'm using Titanium Backup-Pro, been sitting on "freezing Wi-Fi Sharing manager 1.0" for over 5 minutes.
Sorry noob questions, but...
What is the benefit to freeze those apps?? What is its purposes? What would be the cons?

When you freeze an app with Titanium (or some other system app manager), the system doesn't see it anymore. It's still there, but out of action until you defrost it.
It's a useful feature to experiment with temp shutting down of system apps - if you see that something is wrong, you defrost it, and everything's fine.
If you uninstall it, OTOH, if something bad happens, you're stuck.

If you mean "why freeze those particular apps?", then the answer is that if they are not used, they are just wasting battery and RAM by running. This is true of a large number of built-in apps that Samsung, and indeed carriers, put on your phone for you.
These particular ones serve no purpose for 90% of users [sorry, needed for Kies air, disregard], so are best stopped. Even if you do use them, they are best prevented from starting up until you want to use them.
freezing wifi sharing and wifi manager will cause kies air not working. unless you never used kies air and planning to freeze it too then i think it should be ok
I want to ask WHAT THE HELL IS THAT WIFI SHARING APP?! How can it be so badly done... I mean it's killing battery as once launched it never stops. I just can't get it...
And that's why we freeze/remove it If you don't use Kies, then get it over with and kill it (the permanent way)

Fact is, after i froze them (all social hub) wifi sharing came and freezing it didn't change anything, it was still running from boot!
Freeze both wifi sharing and wifi sharing manager.
It will not come back after boot. Tested on 2 S2s and a Note.

I use Autorun manager to disable all the 'listeners' that these apps have (one is for boot). This is in many ways better because I can still use them by actually running them, but they do not start by themselves.
