Best Killer App

Hi guys,
There are numerous apps available for killing running apps.
There are Advanced Task Manager, Advanced Task Killer, Taskiller etc.
I am currently using the Advanced Task Manager as I see the most apps available for me to "kill" or "exclude". I tried Taskiller as recommended by a friend but I only saw a short list for me to manage and I figures maybe this app doesnt show all of the available-to-kill running apps?
Any comments on which one do you think is the best app for doing such task? And why? Coz I am not sure if I am using the best.

same question here.
I was running advanced task killer, and now I am trying TaskPanel. What are the opinions? (I know some of the opinions are that we don't need either one, but some apps are stubborn.)

I've been using Advanced Task Killer since I got my Hero and I've not had any problems with it. It's very rare I need to kill an app anyway Peep is the only one I can think of as I wanted to stop using it.

I bought Advanced Task Killer and I have tried Taskiller before but I LOVE the auto-kill function that 'ATK' has

but there is one thing that make me wonder why Advanced task Managers always have the most apps to choose to kill than others. But what are the goods of other killer app if there are many apps they cannot kill?

which task manager

can somebody advise me a task manager to manage and kill applications to seve power?

Taskiller full or lite.

TasKiller Lite is a bad thing. Dont use it.
Since the lite version has ads integrated it will always use between 1-13% of your CPU to load them. This program drains your phone in no time...

Buy the full...

With startup auditor you can choose to eliminate taskiller lite at startup.

what about EStrongs Task Manager ???

[Q] difference between ATK and leaked 2.2 task killer?

hello. ive been using DG'S AOSP 2.2 beta 3 for a while and just wanted to know the difference between the task killer on 2.2 and from advance task killer which i used when i was on 2.1 eclair. seems when i open 2.2 task killer it doesnt show as much opened apps than ATK. and wheni would kill selected apps on ATK it lags on showing how much ram i have left. i dl ATK and ATK 2.2 and still kinda lags. should i use both? should i use one or the other? any help is greatly appreciated!

Well atk is a task killer and the other is a manager. Atk kills auto and the other you can choose what and when to kill. If you want less lag uninstall atk install autokiller or minfree and change the android memory killer settings to something higher
Yay no more fc

task killers?

can anyone recommend a good task killer? ive tried atk on 2.2 but its very sluggish. i dl task panel x and it doesnt update frequently lol. i have autokiller memory but not sure if i am using it right lol. so if anyone is using a task killer, what r u using and r u getting good results? thanks in advance!

Do not use autokiller. I can't remember what problem it causes but it does indeed cause a problem on all galaxy phones. Or at laast my fascinate

You shouldn't need one from all I've read about it.
but I use system panel to kill an app here and there.

Don't bother using a task killer. I used Advance Task Killer for the last two weeks but it probably hampered things more than it helped. Your phone will NOT slow down to a crawl. Most custom ROMs use good minfree settings that'll keep your phone snappy.
Just uninstall your task killer, or if you want to use it, turn off autostart, turn off autokill, and only use it for pesky apps that won't die.

I was using ATK and could not verify any benefit. I read the following article and gained some more understanding. I have been running without a Task Killer since and I see no loss in performance or battery life. I could say I have less FCs and more reliability with syncing email.

i have been getting random shutdown these few days (started like 3 days ago), about 1 shutdown per day. i'm not sure if it' the stock task manager, dolphin browser beta 4.0, or widget locker 1.2.7 causing it. i already removed stock task manager and downgraded widget locker to 1.2.4 to see what happens.

Task killers aren't generally needed on android. If its battery life you want then for one try not to compulsively look at your phone preventing the cpu from idling and screen from turning off. Get juice defender. It turns off data unless it is needed. Most apps don't use resorces when the phone is asleep unless they are designed to, like file sharing programs or apps that sync data in the background but there are also bad apps. In froyo Use the built in task manager (long prsss on home) to see what's running. If you havent used something in a while and don't need the process active then close it.
If it is performance you want then no task manager will help. You need to alter the minfree setting which manages memory and how apps use it. I use the one click lag fix app to do that. Other apps I used caused problems. I set the minfree to moderate. Its more agressive than stock but doesn't kill processes you might want running. Anything more agressive than that kills allshare while im streaming movies but there is a performance increase when set to optimal or strict however it is slight.

[Q] Best Appkiller or Program Monitor for CM7?

Best working Task killer or Program monitor for CM7? I would like something like the program monitor that touchwiz has if possible. Thanks.

Well there is a built in app killer into android which you can put a shortcut to by long pressing the screen, going to shortcut, then settings, then running services. Also read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=904023 you really should not use a task killer because it actually uses more battery...

There's a CM7 sticky for this.
