I been using Advanced Task Manager 4.1 before I updated to froyo and it killed all my unwanted apps very well. All the roms I tryed on 2.2 do this: they leave the apps connected to the internet open. It just wastes my battery. I tryed a bunch of other task killers and none of them work, the apps still stay open. I need to kill the apps untill the next time I open them. Anyone know a way to do that on 2.2 or what my prolem is?
Might want to state what your problem is or ask a question
I edited my post, any way you or someone else can help

For one thing you might want to download DroidWall and disable internet access to all unwanted apps. It is like Firewall for your android.
Also try Taskiller. I m using it and it kills apps and never let them start until screen turns on again.

See thats the thing, I want them to be off untill I turn them on myself. I think I'll re-download DroidWall (I have known about it) and all task killers do the same thing I guess, which is kill the apps untill the next time you turn on your screen =/
Could you give us an example of these apps that are "staying connected" and some indication of what you're testing to know that they are staying connected?
Apps like: Bloo (Facebook), Hi IM, Android Market, Weather Bug, & others that dont use internet like Astrid Tasks, Startup Cleaner Pro, Titanium Backup, TeslaLED & toggle apps.
I just want them closed when I kill them. Right now I have a shortcut to managing apps so I click on the running tab and manually force close them but thats a pain.
INDICATION: killing weather bug and the notification with the temperature stays.
After killing the apps I have listed they pop up again in the task manager 30 seconds later.
hey all, i apologize in advance because i am fairly new to the rooting world, let alone the smartphone realm (considering the DROID3 is my first smartphone ever) but i heard about roots, hacks and all the crazy stuff you can do with a rooted phone. so i thought id give it a try.. ive backed up all my files, at least i think so, with titanium backup. i am wondering is there a way to get rid of all that crappy bloatware without going in to the system files and reprogramming it? im a reasonably intelligent person. and im tired of painfully reading through the internet, (been up for 18 hours now) and i really just want to put it to rest. ive already rooted i really just need some help from here. thanks all, and i appreciate any comments, sarcastic or not

If you don't want to run the script in the link above to remove the bloatware, you can use Titanium Backup PRO to 'freeze' any bloatware apps that you don't want to use. The freeze feature is only available in the paid version.
thank you friend, i have recently come across gemini app manager it claims to be able to do the same things as titanium backup pro, do you have any experience with this app? i "froze" a couple of my apps and the next thing i know i cant text or view my contacts.. please help
Don't freeze random things which you're not sure what it does, or apps that sounds as if it part of the system framework or phone related.

I have not used gemini app manager so I can't comment on the app.
As far as freezing goes - as mentioned, you have to be careful what you freeze. Freezing system apps can cause some things to not work properly.
Did you follow the link I listed for de-bloating earlier? If you download the .zip file and open it in a text editor it will show you all the apps that are frozen by the script and you can then use that list to freeze apps manually...
So being a somewhat compulsive about Flashing new ROMs and having the same problem for testing apps my list of apps in the play store has become impossible to navigate.
It was great at first as it had a list of apps I could easily use to update my phone should I be moving between different versions of Android without using titanium backup.
The issue is now I have so many apps in there, most of which I hardly use, or in same cases have used only once which I don't want. This makes it a waste of time as I need to scroll through a lot of unwanted apps to track down the ones i actually want.
Anyone got a way to remove these apps from the list? That way I can just keep my purchased apps and ones I need in the list.
I have attempted a search on XDA and Google without much luck so just wondering if someone has a solution.

Question: can I side load apps to the GG using ADB mode or some other method without rooting? Just curious, cause I thought someone mentioned that recently.
Yes, I installed some apps doing just that.

What kind of side load apps do you mean?
You have an example?
No ROOT!
You can use Wondershare MobileGo for Android to get your Gear loaded with app from Google Play Store or .apk files.
I mean android apps not designed for the GG... as I've seen others side load calculators, games like candy crush, or video players. My question is do I have to root the gear to load those apps, or can I use the ADB mode in the gear and just transfer APKs that I want.

No you don't need root. Normal apps seem to work fine. I've loaded Nova Launcher without root. I need root for accessing system files and mounting as r/w. Root here is not an involved process. It basically put's SU in system apps. Want to un-root, just remove it. Thankfully Samsung didn't really secure it.
Side load one and try. You can always delete it. Worst case is you have to re-flash via odin.
Okay, so we all know that when we launch Samsung's Gear Manager, it instantly wants to restore the Gear and clear out all our apps and setting. What to do?
I have read up on the different backup services and apps and I want to know what everyone is using?
It seems like Titanium Backup is popular but the paid app. for the unrooted phones is expensive, when so many free apps are available. What makes it better? Any apps that batch restore all your apps possible?
I am using Google Drive to backup my APKs that I cant just download from the Google Play Store, but are the services and specifc apps any better? Hell, they seem to be backing up the data on Google Drives (GD) anyways. Seems like me just putting them on GD in the first place just saves me the space and time of downloading yet another app.
Have also read a little about some people hiding the APKs in subfiles and then just opening them up and installing them again. That seems like a useful idea but would love to know exactly where to hide the files.
