I noticed that my whatsapp gets killed automatically... I don't have a task killer
I go offline once the com.whatsapp is killed which I don't want
I want a way I can exclude it from the system task killer so that I stay online ol the time
Guide me
Go to cyanogenmod settings, performance, enable " lock messaging app in memory" and see of that does the trick.
I will try. But that's for the system messaging app I thought

I think maybe I'm confused on what a Task Manager/Killer is supposed to do I've tried so many of them & I'm just not finding what I'm looking for I thought that a Task Killer would kill the selected Task ? but again & again, I kill the Task & a few seconds later..... poof, it's back ? Now I know not to kill certain things & bloatware can't be killed (no root) but I mean things like facebook, or IM, or Yahoo mail, or News ? Dumb stuff. Even if I add them to autoKill... poof, comes right back I just don't get it ? Why have a Task killer that doesn't kill tasks ? I've tried task killers on like 3, or 4 different android devices too, not just my Bionic & always with the same results

This is why everyone who knows anything about android will tell you not to install task killers, they actually slow your phone down and drain more battery because its always reloading apps. There is no way around this if you are not rooted, if your rooted and find that you don't have enough RAM then use autokiller to set the RAM usage parameters.
Does stopping running processes from the Manage Applications settings have any permanent effect on the phone? If I turn off the phone and turn it on again, will it fix whatever I stopped?
It's ok right to turn off processes? Nothing is really deleted right? Sorry, I'm new to android and smart phones in general/
Running processes are running programmes located in the RAM, so turn them off will only stop them running without wipe them from storage.
Not sure why you want to manually stop running processes, it’s likely they will auto restart after a while anyway. Beside Gingerbread is quite good at manage running apps, so there really is not a need to manually terminate running processes.
Nope. It will not have any permanent effect. You'll just clean up your RAM a bit, but everything you stopped will be started again when you turn on your phone or even in a few seconds.
Agree with the user above about Gingerbread app managing.

In my opinion, the *only* reason to manually stop a process is because it's gone rogue and slowing down your device.
Any form of automatic task killing is ultimately counter-productive!

If you root u device, u can use "Gemini App" to kill apps permanently. Just select them and mark " block", u also can kill processes completely and configure the auto-run
Suggestions
Gamer Mode
New Taks Manager
Game Mode
Description: When putting your phone into Game mode it will automaticly stop all the running background applications, freeing as many RAM as possible.
- You won't be able to recieve text messages
- All background application sync will be stopped
- All unnecessary applications will be stopped
- Still able to recieve calls
- All required system applications will still be running
More Functionality
Give the user the ability to add their own blacklist or whitelist, so if users choose that their application must remain active, it will.
New Taks Application
Description: When it comes to memory or RAM the galaxy doesn't actually narrow it down. It doesn't have much RAM space and when you run too much services in the back, it will drain your battery as the preformance of your phone.
New Options
- Add a checkbox so users can choose if the app must run or be excluded from start up.
- Add an option that when you close the application, all the running background services will close with it
Possible system structure
Active Processes (Apps) | System Processes | Downloaded | All Applications
All other ideas or suggestion are all welcome

Both of those are already avaiable, the first is the Gamerzrom (although not perfect), the second is avaiable as many system manager app, search for it.
I have a few apps running in the background all the time. Facebook and blood and glory mainly. Is there a way to delete them for good? On Facebook I set it that no notifications and never refresh, and its still using up 12mb. Same with blood and glory. Any way to kill them for good? Is there an app maybe? Thanks.
Well, mainly in android apps have 4 components.
Two of those are Activities and Services.
The activities have UI, you can activate and use it. The services doesn't have UI since they are hidden. You can't Activate them manually and their purpse is to open the app fast. Deleting the app is the best way you can use a task manager to close them.
Advanced Task Killer, for example, has the ability to set timer for RAM clearing, you can set it to whenever you lock your screen.
if i helped you, hit the thanks button
Another way for ram.
I think of the amount of memory (ram) have effected to play game or run any application smoothly.
So If you use kernel Semaphore 2.7.4(GB) or 1.2.0 (ICS) there are choices for big memory to run application smoothly.
I want to kill an app like Facebook, and then I don't want it to run in the background after I close the app. When I kill the process , after aboit 10 seconds it goes on again!
Anyone!?
Anyone 2x?
use advanced task manager.or delete the facebook app and install fbm.it does not run in the background
I've found an useful article about Task killer apps:
Being a new member, I cannot post outside link.
Search for: Task killer apps What they do, and why you shouldn't use them ->
Autostarts
There is an app on android market called Autostarts, it's an amazing app i've used it for over a year now and never had any problems. what it does it stops apps like facebook from starting up automaticly and keeps the app fully closed until you choose to launch it. Same goes for any other app which you choose to disable from auto-starting by itself. This is why Autostarts is so much better than say a normal task killer because apps closed by task killers restart themselves a few minutes later so your just running round in circles trying to keep the app closed probably eating up more battery trying to close it every 5 minutes than if you just left the app alone, where as with autostarts you dissable the app once then thats it it wont start until you tell it to, perfect!
Autostart sounds quite good
I'd also recommend using titanium backup to freeze the app, unfreeze when you want it and then freeze when you dont.
Autostart probably sounds like the easier option, no need to keep freezing and unfreezing, but knowing about titanium backup and freezing apps doesn't hurt
The app 'Greenify' is a marvelous work by oasisfeng
This is the original thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155737
Playstore link : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
*Why am I sharing this app?
Because this is going to help those who are running android 4.x or higher, having a feeling that our phone's ram and battery is not enough and still not aware of the process 'Greenifying'
*Are you depending on the process 'freeze' & 'unfreeze' to save your space and feeling it as little inconvenient to do it every time you use the frozen app ?
Then Greenify is the solution.
*This is the definition of Greenifying an app.
"Greenifying an app implies that you are aware that all the background functionality of this app will become out of service during the hibernation except when you are using this app:
Greenify helps you identify and put the bad behaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, to stop them from lagging your device and leeching the battery, in an unique way! They can do nothing without explicit launch by you or other apps, while still preserving full functionality when running in foreground, similar to iOS apps."
When I read the above I was like " wow, this is the thing that I was searching for ! "
*It is designed and implemented in extremely light-weight, with an average RAM footprint at 2M in total, and nearly zero CPU and battery consumption.
Things to remember :
# The background functionality of the greenified apps will be disabled. The background functionality includes but not limited to:
> Persistent background services
> Broadcast receivers, which respond to global device events, such as network state change, SMS reception.
> Alarms, which activate background task at specific time or interval.
> Widget update. Widget should display but never update because periodic update involves background task.
> Push messages. Push is also disabled since it would activate background task on Android, unlike iOS which just shows up messages to user.
>Please DO NOT greenify alarm clock apps, instant messaging apps unless you never rely on them. Please be sure to verify the impact of greenified apps on which you heavily relies.
# not supported for Android 2.x
In my opinion, this app does what it says.Hope this will be helpful.
