there is lots of taskkiller software they are killing programs running at background and must of have whitelist feature. but main problem is after autokilling 90percent of software auto launch again. I am using rocket rom. Is there any way to prevent auto launch on my rom or at any others rom?

Thats the way android works
But they dont actually drain your battery
You could try freezing them apps using titanium backup I think.
Respect!
i know freezing but i will use them when necessary during day. There is lots of custom rom on android. I think this should not impossible

if you are talking about the startup items.. use something like autostarts which can effectively manage them

I use advanced task killer (not the advanced part just using it manually) and have been noticing loads of random apps on startup. Is this normal, is it killing my battery or making my startup slower? Mostly concerned about the battery.

No one can give you a real answer on this. I used to us a task manager. I stopped. I do not notice a difference. Then again I flash a new rom every 4-5 days
Captivate
Cog 2.2
The biggest misconception is that the tasks you see are "running" in the back ground. Nothing can be further from the truth. There's a reason that the apps start back up immediately after they are killed. Remember, this isn't windows. Android OS, especially 2.2, is designed for multitasking. The apps begin to load because it makes it easier for the OS to perform certain tasks. They appear to be running, but in fact are merely being used as a place holder so to speak. When the system recognizes it isn't needed, it stops the app from running and replaces it with said place holder. And even that is ended after a while. In essence, Android itself is a task killer. If you think about it, it's actually counter productive because the system expands more energy, or battery, when you close tasks that aren't ready to be closed, and uses more battery restarting those apps. Trust me, the OS knows what's best for the phone more than we do. I stopped using task killers and noticed a slight difference in my battery life, for the better, when I let Android to its thing.

Ok but why are they starting up during my boot?
I only use the task killer for poorly behaved apps if they malfunction or need to be reloaded for some reason, i don't turn on the auto part.

What apps are you concerned about specifically.

Android actually tries to start everything... at least it seems so to me. That way it doesn't waste time nor energy (battery) starting apps when it (or you) need them. Get something like osmonitor or system monitor or watchdog. Then you can see what the apps are actually using. Most of them sit there idle using 0 cpu time. Mostly you should let 'em be. It's a feature, not a bug!
I tried watchdog, it's pretty good. Now i can see the usage percentage, much better.

Also y can't laptops have an option to multitask like this? Seems like loads of battery would be saved.

When you kill a process and it has to start up again fresh that kills your battery more. To a certain extent, those task killer apps are scams

The apps that were booting were random ones like Yelp, and Adobe Reader etc that I don't think ought to have any bearing on startup. Using Watchdog, they don't seem to be affecting any CPU when they startup but aren't they slowing my boot for no reason? Or no.
Hi guys,
my phone lags quite a bit and Im trying to speed it up.
However when I use the app killer to free up ram space and kill running apps, they just pop back up a few seconds later and do not stay closed. Does anyone know why and how to solve this?
Much appreciated
Download autostart manager and disable them to start automatically.

Hi all!
My question sound's like this...is there any app (payd or not) which definetlly do his work? I mean, when you tick the app which you want to kill for a defined period of time, the app truelly kill that app pour a la long free memory espace. Get it?
The ideea is that when you want to make an app never be active, this app which I want to know, to help you.
Lets take an exemple : the "Phone" app. It remains in phone memory ram and consumes it, and I can't get rid of it.
Hope somebody understands what I have written

The important apps will reappear no matter how many times you kill them.
And talking about the task killers, android has its own task management system and it is advisable not to use the task killer apps..

'Free' memory is wasted memory. It's part of Linux memory management. You should only worry if apps go slow or something.

I use App Quarantine to lock/freeze apps I dont use often, if I want to use the app I locked just unlock it from the list just easy & simple in use. This is the app u was searching for . It really does the job. Check playstore its free
I kinda face same problem for example my WIFI is off and my 3G is also off I am not using what's app, viber, facebook at that moment but still I see these apps on background and they are consuming my phone's ram. I stopped them and somehow they comeback again.

Hello!

How can i permenetly shut down that open aplications,becouse it drain my battery very fast and i can use my phone only 5 hours.
What aplication is the best for task killer and how can i solve this problem?
Is nessesery to be open so many working aplication? Is this have effect on battery?
Sorry for my bad english_
Thx in advance!

40-50 apps? I guess it's showing you the running processes and not apps. Some of them maybe system processes. And you can disable the apps through settings-applications-running-click on a app and disable. And 5 hours battery life isn't very bad if the usage is continuous with WiFi on!
Yes, i think that is a process running. I dont use wi-fi only gprs and still 5 hours of battery is a very litlle time to use_

Look 5 hrs when youre using your phone constantly isn't very bad! How old is your battery? Do hit thanks if i helpes
Battery is 2 months old.. but i wont to solve problem with that process that open in background,is that also normal? To be so much open,some of that is process but some of that is program..i will put a screenshot..
RUNNING PROGRAM:50!! I DONT USE HALF OF THAT BUT STILL IS OPEN,how can i close em down?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
It isn't normal for so many processes to be running. You are using the Touchwiz firmware. When you restart your phone and start an app, say messaging, it takes a certain time to open. Now when you close it(Not force close), and open messaging again, the time required for it to open will be significantly lesser than the last time as the process is running in the background. What I'd suggest yoy to improve your battery life is you make it a habit to periodically close the recent apps(long press home and slide the apps sidewards). And for apps like viber, uninstall them if you don't use them because apps relating to IM like gtalk, viber, skype, whatsapp will always run in the background. And do go to settings-battery to check out the battery consumption and you'll know the culprit there
Try this app Greenify if your phone is rooted, works wonders

Ya. Greenify is able to hibernate downloaded apps.

or you can try go to settings > developers options > limit background processes > and set limit to 4 process only, it doesnt affect stability and it boost performance a bit for me

As a general rule, free RAM is wasted RAM (except when it gets too low): http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care.
As you will read, task killers are additionally counter-productive, because most of the killed apps will restart, using more battery and cpu. The most sensible way to preserve battery and resources it to use app like Autorun Manager or Autostarts, with which you can disable specific triggers causing selected apps to autorun.
If you care about battery saving, you can find more info in those two threads:

It helps me a lot. I don't have rooted phone
But can I root the phone and get access to system and root files but I want to keep this official ROM but still have rooted phone, is that possible?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Very much possible bro. Just root the phone, don't install any new ROM. There are very safe threads on how to root here in the android development forum. The PhilZ method is very easy and recommended.
What about upadete? If I root the phone,if there be an official update can I download and update the phone or 4.1.2 is the last that this phone will get? When I root the phone then I will can turn off this background programs and process?

Follow that link above. And after you root, you'll be able to use apps like greenify and the others suugested earlier in the thread. The app greenify is very useful, developed by a xda member, it allows you to hibernate apps so that a non-system process starts only when you use the app and not by itself. And yes you'll be able to update though im not sure if there will be a 4.2.2 update for note any soon. Anyway once you root, you can always install a supported custom ROM with the highest android version!

Yes. It is possible to have stock rom with root. Try searching for philz kernel. Get the one that matches your rom and flash it in recovery mode. But of cause your recovery will be changed to CWM recovery.
And it is also possible that you will not he able to.get OTA or Kies update anymore.

So I removed a lot of system apps that I do not have use for like for example the mobile hot spot app and circles widget. But there's a bunch of apps/services that I don't know what are used for so I was hoping someone here could make a list of what I can uninstall and or what I shouldn't. Which ever is most easier.

You usually dont want to remove services apks...always do nand backup before you start deleting system apks...that way you can go back to the working version...
You can use titanium back up, so you won't have to remove them. With Titanium, you can just freeze'em so they won't bother you... And it's more safe than completely removing them. If you freeze an app, and had a problem, you can always unfreeze them and you're back to a stable state.
