Hey Everyone,
Thank you for your time, me and my small team are just about to release a android app for cleaning and maintainance.
So I`ve got this problem of naming a function tap, basically this function is developed for boosting memory of android phone by killing running tasks. So what`s the best name for this tap, any advice?
Which options suit best?
1. Task Killer
2. Memory Boost
3. Memory Optimization
4. Task (?)
5. Others(Pls provide your suggestions)
Thank you so much in advance!

Task Killers only reduce battery life and cause problems
If you're rooted, try Greenify
Best solution so far

It kinda is advice. It's great advice lol. Everyone thought Task Killer were great when Android was first introduced. Then, it just became a problem child & battery killer. I would stray away from the name "task killer" if you want a successful app.

yes, I know this kind of apps are redundant to the "professionals", but we must admit most of users belong to "layman" or what you prefer "noobs"
and what we do, to some extent, what we all do is to make everything more convenient and better, also apps like"task killers" "memory booster" etc are disappointed by many users coz it failed their expectations every time. Actually that`s why we choose to optimizing this field rather than stay away with, maybe we haven`t done good enogh, can`t meet everyone`s expectations, at least we tried.
I tried Task killer but not satisfied untiI I use Greenify.

First of all, sry if this is the wrong section!
Its been some time since i got my hero and i found only 3 apps that i would LOVE to have...
1. an alarm that works every time-.-'
2. rabbids go iphone
3. touchgrind for iphone
i know the last 2 are for iphone but can it by any chance be cracked? or one similar being created? those are the best apps i've seen for ages on any phone and i would love to have them! even at a cost!
and just something random, does any1 know the gbaemulator version that is for hero? i have a lot of them but none of them has onscreen buttons ;/
thx!
1. Why doesn't your alarm work? You should probably look into that problem! Which ROM are you using, how often does it fail etc?
2 and 3. 'Cracking' an app won't change what phone it works on - totally different OS, CPU, architecture, resolution......
email the developers and ask if they have an Android port planned
If you are using any task killer, first reboot phone, than exclude clock aplication in task killer. It should work

That's what I did and it worked for me (worked without rebooting for me). Took a while for me to realize that that was the problem. Woke up a bit too late a couple of days :S
Is there a way to force the clock app to be open?
Why doesn't the clock app tell the system to wake/start/open itself right before the time of the alarm to make sure that it's open? Is this limited by the system?

If you have killed the clock process, how do you suggest that it should magically reappare to make sure the alarm is working? If you kill it, then you kill it.

A timer in the system?
Clock app says: "Hi System, in case I'm not running, could you wake me up in x seconds (or at least the activity needed for running alarms)?"
And the system would do so.
The way it is now, either the Clock app could be killed in favor of other apps (memory) or it would be prioritized and killed very seldom (please correct me if I'm wrong). Both things sound bad to me since the first would make the alarms unreliable and the second might keep the Clock app running even when it's not needed. So, as I asked in my last post: Does the system allow an app to do such a thing?
Just wondering what this thread is doing in the "Development" subforum when there is a perfectly good "Themes and apps" subforum!

Dave

This is not really necessary or recommended with Gingerbread onwards. Android is much better at suspending the threads.
But if you really want to kill it, just download any free task killer.
By the way, the Xperia S has a TON of RAM. I'm not sure why you think you're running into memory issues.

There are a number of pieces of research that show that killing tasks manually actually has a detrimental effect on device speed and battery life.
Let Android manage this itself.
This is intresting to know because I had task killer on my sgs2 and i always used to kill apps manually.

Press the middle key and that will take you to the task manager.
Hello,
I'm using MIUI and the most annoying thing is that when the memory is low the apps kill by themselves. Is there a way we can stop doing that, or just prevent killing specified apps? I don't like waiting each time till the launcher loads

um.. that's how android is designed to work, if didn't you would run out of ram ( = BAD ) maybe try turning some useless background apps off. android will always kill background tasks before the foreground task tho.
you can tweak the memory if you want tho do a search for x10 memory optimization. i think there is a thread about sharing the best values.

Only MIUI does that. I'm killing the useless apps but it won't bring back 60mb of ram as it is after reboot. It will be only 30mb

I have been using Advanced Task Manager Pro to end apps that I don't use but people said it wastes battery life, is this correct?
What's your suggestion?
Its always running in background and that way uses ram
so yes it wastes battery life
correct me if im wrong
Im using system tuner pro with auto-kill
i was using advanced task killer pro too, but i was tired to kill it manually every time
My suggestion is to not use Task Killers....
Just enable back button killing
Ace-ing all tests.

There's so much debate on this, just google something like "task killers android" and you'll find loads of good articles on this topic.
In short: task killers are bad, don't use them. Apps you kill will load again, this takes CPU and drains battery. Android is designed this way; it's been specifically made for multitasking you know.
So my suggestion: let android handle task killing and only use task killers for apps that have crashed/frozen.
Why not use samsungs task manager on cm7

Only opens when u press and hold menu

So all Task Managers in Android market will uses battery as it still runs in the background?
Using the long press option is better or CM7 Task Manager?
P.S - When I end apps, I tick Advanced Task Killer Pro as well to end it so it still runs in the background?
Tasks you end with task killers eventually load up again. This makes the CPU work twice, when killing and when loading again. This is specially the case for apps you often use.
Working CPU requires battery, so yeah task killers are bad for battery life.
If you want more ram, try tweaking the 'minfree' of Android (Google it). I use free Autokiller from the market, check the documentation and you'll get an idea of how Android manages the closing of unused tasks AUTOMATICALLY.

I have not been using any task killer as I dont see the point...bcoz most of the apps killed start right back again.
I am wondering if there is any possible way to kill Google Maps which is always running in the background with 3 processes...nothing i do stops Google Maps from starting right back again. Does Google Maps affect battery life?

This might be dumb but coming from the original inc, I had a taskiller to kill active apps. Do I need one for my inc4g? There seems to be people on this forum that are much smarter than me when it comes to this.

You shouldn't need one. The OS will do that for you and usually better then you can do it yourself.
I never use a task killer anymore because I was causing my own issues by using one.
it's there, jsut not in app drawer, im using tweaks now, it will have the task manager tweaks in quick settings once rom drops, dont wanna spoiler any surprises yet
but nit asked me to help him port venom rom as he got permission and im beyond honored to have been asked. so excited.
Although you may want to have one to have more control over killing background processes that aren't directly associated with apps, the need for a task killer is greatly reduced in Ice Cream Sandwich because you can effectively quit an app 99% of the time by opening the Recent Apps menu and swiping up on the "card" that represents the app to remove it.

although, I can edit the deafult.xml and unhide the task manager icon and personalize icon, I feel they shouldn't be hidden, but needs to be on fresh flash, I'lll talk to Nit.
Havent used a task killer in 2 years. Forget about it!
You don't need it. If you are having issues, use an app like system panel and find the rogue.
Let the phone manage itself, after 2.3, it's not needed.
