[Q] How to force stop selected apps instead of killing - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I have a doubt in "Force stop"ing applications.
I have some applications that run in background after closing it. For example Facebook, YouTube, etc.,
If I use any task manager to kill the app, it automatically opens again in seconds.
But I came to know from one of xda member, if we "Force stop" the application using settings -> app manager, it will not be started until we launch the application again. My expected option.
Now my question:
Is there any app available in market that force closes (not kill) selected apps?
Note: Please don't bring up the story that "android by itself have task killer and manage itself". I want to know a functionality similar to force stop available in app manager.
Thanks in advance,
Senthur

App Closer

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?

Market Auto Update ?

Hi,
Is there a way to auto update all upgradable app in the maket in the same time ?
Not unless there is a third party app that can do it for you, which I doubt.
Didn't found it :/
There also no API to do it myself
The Appbrain app comes pretty close. The app is linked to your account on appbrain.com from where you can browse the market and mark apps to be installed or updated. Then syncing the app on your phone with the site lets you click a button to apply all updates. It will then search market for every app, and if you hit install, then after the install, it will immediately search for the next app in market, and so on.
The app also checks if there are any updates available for your installed apps, and lets you update them the same way.
Atrackdog does it

it shows you updates yes... but it doesn't download them and install them automatically which many people want...
downside to auto-update it that a new release might not be as good as the previous one and if it auto updates itself your screwed... (not really if you have backups... or if the auto-update app has 'ignore app' feature.. but yhh)..
also many people are security concious.. as the new app could have something like 'deletes all your data' ... and you won't know
But again that could be an added feature to an auto-update app... the ability to check if the old "warnings" like "change contacts" or "make or receive calls" is still there or has it been modified.. if modified...it will wait for phone owner to say yes / no to update.. if not it will auto-update etc

Cool exactly what I want.Thanks for the tip

More stable with this thing ! Please try !

Hi every one, I have recommend for you to have more stable than when run android. If you often use any Task Manager app, please don't use option kill all app or auto kill app. It will make more eror, stop app, keypad die ! I don't use any Task Manager and it run more stable than other people !
Why? because don't like windows or IOS, android don't have option to stop app exactly! I develop game in android and find all document but never see how to stop app. just have option to close app but it still run in background ! system will auto free it when needed! have you ever see any button like "close" in all app from google?
So, please try if you want use task manager, just manual kill app or game you don't want use, and don't kill any system app ! Better thing is don't use task manager like me ! maybe you will not see any eror again and report here if it work for you ! Thanks all !
I never use any auto kill apps and i only ever experience key freezes, never SOD's.
So your quite right i think

I think you're right
I don`t agree. If you wish to kill any application you can allways go to settings manage applications and to force close when you select it from the menu

Yes, you can force close, but only ONE app! if you choo option kill all or auto kill ... it will kill all app, include system app ..., then it can have eror!

[Q] MIUI App Killer settings?

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!
- Leo
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:
