Thanks...

systempanel has a widget that you can add to your homescreen that will end all app processes, but it doesn't show all the info like in your screen shot, it just has a little x, or a stop sign or whatever you choose. but it does work well, i normally advise against task killers, but this one is good to free up a bunch of ram with one touch.

Best one I've used is Advanced Task Killer Pro. It has many great features and can be access via pull down notification menu.
Whenever I need more ram or just fancy freeing it up I use it. I also have it set to kill apps upon screen off.
advance task killer pro or anything like it just free's up foreground space so there's MORE SPACE for background apps to run,hence less memory & less speed,GOOGLE IT FOR URSELF

Thanks lads tried a few of them but still think the first post wins, system panel is clean and does the same job as golauncher which is (WHAT I NEED)
I enjoyed being a symbian user , till it became extinct.
Now that i have been using android on my I9000 , the one feature i seem to miss is "one step" task switching / ending , like in symbian .
In android the switching is done from the recent apps list and the ending is done from the actual task manager , this is done in two steps , and it's a major incovenience .
Any workaround guys ??
Also have a look at this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M-DGZv1SrqQ
At time 1:23 the guy switches , to another task just like i wanted it ?
How was that possible ??
which android ver are you using?
and there is no need to close the background apps..nd using a task manager spoils your ram too...android automatically stops the apps when it needs more Ram
Thanks for your reply
All i want to know is how was switching to opera possible in the video at 1:23
İ want that 1:23 task manager too
long press home button -> task manager and it shows your active apps... but i guess it works differently from SGS1 because if you do this on the I9000 it will show you the info regarding that app
Yes showing info about the app is fine , but i really want it to switch to that app when its touched
Am starting to miss my N- series now
That looks like the stock samsung app manager from settings in older android builds.

I think it was last on eclair, but possibly froyo - so not without a downgrade.......
Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
Task switcher from market is similar.

I think you've got it wrong , if you see the video , it looks like touchwitz 4 .

Android Doesn’t Manage Processes Like Windows
Most Android users are familiar with Windows. On Windows, many programs running at one time – whether they’re windows on your desktop or applications in your system tray – can decrease your computer’s performance. Closing applications when you’re not using them can help speed up your Windows computer.
However, Android isn’t Windows and doesn’t manage processes like Windows does. Unlike on Windows, where there’s an obvious way to close applications, there’s no obvious way to “close” an Android application. This is by design and isn’t a problem. When you leave an Android app, going back to your home screen or switching to another app, the app stays “running” in the background. In most cases, the app will be paused in the background, taking up no CPU or network resources. Some apps will continue using CPU and network resources in the background, of course – for example, music players, file-downloading programs, or apps that sync in the background.
When you go back to an app you were recently using, Android “unpauses” that app and you resume where you left off. This is fast because the app is still stored in your RAM and ready to be used again.
Why Task Killers Are Bad
Proponents of task killers notice that Android is using a lot of RAM – in fact, Android stores a lot of apps in its memory, filling up the RAM! However, that isn’t a bad thing. Apps stored in your RAM can be quickly switched to without Android having to load them from its slower storage.
In summary, you shouldn’t use a task killer – if you have a misbehaving app wasting resources in the background, you should identify it and uninstall it. But don’t just remove apps from your phone or tablet’s RAM – that doesn’t help speed anything up.
Empty RAM is useless. Full RAM is RAM that is being put to good use for caching apps. If Android needs more memory, it will force-quit an app that you haven’t used in a while – this all happens automatically, without installing any task killers.
Task killers think they know better than Android. They run in the background, automatically quitting apps and removing them from Android’s memory. They may also allow you to force-quit apps on your own, but you shouldn’t have to do this.
Task killers aren’t just useless – they can reduce performance. If a task killer removes an app from your RAM and you open that app again, the app will be slower to load as Android is forced to load it from your device’s storage. This will also use more battery power than if you just left the app in your RAM in the first place. Some apps will automatically restart after the task killer quits them, using more CPU and battery resources.
Whether RAM is empty or full, it takes the same amount of battery power – decreasing the amount of apps stored in RAM won’t improve your battery power or offer more CPU cycles.
hope u understood!
words of wisdom by fellow-mates
go into settings - apps and see how many running apps you have. now go to cached apps and see there, how many apps there are. you see? nearly 50% of those apps discovered by you in the processes are apps that you didn't opened ever but they are still opened and running. why? because that's how linux manages its resources. instead of having free ram for no use (what's the point of having 14gb of ram when you only use 1gb), linux fills all the ram blocks with useful apps or apps that you are running frequently so that when you call that app, it will bring it on the screen almost instantly. this my friend, is called multitasking.
and no, you are wrong. if you use a task killer killing the apps every 10 minutes, the cycles the whole system does - opening again apps and caching them, task killer closing them - results in much more functions done by CPU => more battery spent. even if you say that the battery life its the same, you are wrong. when using a task killer IT MIGHT drain your battery with 0.1% per hour. it's not that much, but IT EXIST.
oh and yeah, one thing: android has its own task killer. that's why you don't need one app to kill your other apps. because android its doing it by itself. if you don't believe me, strip down one kernel, open the init.rc file and find the values for task killer.

I don't know if this is helpful or not but I'm trying to help you. I don't recommend you to use an application to block apps from starting on their own because it will ruin how Android managed it memory consumption. Since you've talked that Facebook app takes about 50MB of RAM I recommend you to use this instead of Facebook official app.
Hope I helped you.
Thanks man I got it now its bad to do such a thing

Really have limited idea without root
1. Cannot remove bloatware
2. Cannot convert system app to user app, in example Chrome and FB app
3. Cannot using tweak
4. etc
The easy way is
1. Buy a new phone with 2 GB RAM or more
2. Using a task killer
3. Using app that have features auto kill ( many task manager have feature like that )
4. Limit the maximum running process, see at developer option
5. Do not install to many app
6. etc
Thanks for your helo

Hi,
Regarding your advice No. 2, the task killers in not rooted phones seem not to really kill tasks. Because, the purged tasks return to the memory after a few minutes! Is this correct?
Thanks

Actually, no need root to kill any app
If app return back after you kill it, it because app behaviour itself
In example, FB, G maps, Whatsapp, and any social app that require keep in memory to receive any push notification
Since task killer just kill app, not force close them, of course, the app will be back ASAP
This is why I say, we have very limited choice to optimize without root
I would like my browser app from being closed by android task killer; even if i close it unintentionally.
I mean any app or some tool which can make my browser app or any other app pinned so that it may not get closed.
And i can continue my unfinished work in that app.
I use moto g5s plus stock oreo (rooted).
Is there no answer for this?
