Not a task killer but looking for a program that keeps stuff from running at random like ebay paypal google maps etc until i want them to run.

You can always use the premium version of titanium to freeze/unfreeze apps.

I do have titanium premium but does freezing it prevent it from being used on demand?

No you won't be able to use it on demand. Ill look around but I'm not 100 percent there is something that's going to do it the way you want it to

Autostarts does this, its a dollar on the market.
I tried it but it only shows android system and that's it.

Its market description says it has problems with CM7. I guess your only option is to wait until the developer fixes this.
Fast reboot killes everything.. maybe not what your lookin for.

Maybe a Task Manager is what you are looking for?
There are a number of Task Managers that offer a "Kill All" feature. A possible work around until the previously mentioned program works on CM7 is to use a KA feature that includes only the programs you do not want running.
.......Actually, one or more of the TMs should allow you to kill programs when the are not in the foreground. The Atrix does this with its Task manager. You can also use a startup manager to prevent them from starting up at boot.

Hi guys my 2nd post here. Just updated my phone to 2.2 and was wondering if I should bother using task killer anymore. Someone told me that I don't really need to on 2.2. What are your suggestions since you guys seriously have answers to everything. Thank you.

task killers do more bad than good
You would be better off using a task PREVENTER like "autostarts" if you want to keep open processes down
Froyo won't allow them to kill the app. Only background data. So essentially they are useless with Froyo.

Is cyanogenmod the only froyo rom that automatically restores your apps by downloading them from the market?
Why/how is this feature disabled in the stock HTC sense rom?

I can't be the only one that loves this awesome froyo feature. Can devs cook this into their roms? Have they?

I've never used CM before but would be interested in how he automatically adds the market apps. Might not be something that is disabled in stock but something he has added to his builds. I'm going to go grab one of his and check it out.
It's a feature of the AOSP-only builds of Froyo that use the official Market app. It's not a CM-only thing, it's just that CM is the only one so far that has turned it on/not blocked it.
got it, thanks!
Yeah..I love that feature!! Definitely miss it

Do I need any task killer or they are just taking memory & slowing down the phone ?
Everytime I open it I have a hole bunch of apps running & some will open right away before I Evan exit the task killer ?
I tried most task killers but nothing seams to actually work properly .

I would not recommend using a task killer. Android OS has a built in task killer that will kill apps if they're taking up too much memory. Using a task killer, more often than not, can actually INCREASE battery usage instead of helping it.
Do I need an anti virus ?

No. That's a common misconception brought on by Android Haters. Unless you install random third party apps that seem sketchy, you won't need to worry about any viruses. On top of that, any app that is infected is sandboxed from other ones so they could ONLY affect that app and not others. But the point of this post is no, you won't have to worry about anything. Android is actually pretty safe
many apps you think are running (you see them in the task killer) are not actually running but rather just cached so that they can be opened faster. This is how Android works. True the caching takes up a small amount of memory but you're not wasting CPU cycles on those apps.
Wow thx that's good to know .
Thx to you all here @ XDA you guys ROCK !!!

anyone else on cyanogem 7 nightly number 2 or any other rom have problems with the camera not saving to the album, then maybe a day later the pics show up or after a reboot they show up?
is there a better gallery than this 3D gallery, i hate this photo gallery it absolutely is slow and ****ty
Anyone? I have resorted to using file manager to look for pics. This nexus 1 3d gallery sucks tiny monkey dung.

There are a number of threads about this. Sometimes you have to force a rescan of the media on your SD card for it to properly show up (lots of apps out on the market like Rescan Media among others will do it). Since you have CM, there is probably an option in the Dev Tools app that will do it as well (I'm still on CM6, but I assume CM7 has it as well).
As far as a different gallery goes, the APK for the 2D Gallery was posted in the app forum (personally, I found it better than the 3D one). There are also other apps on the market you can try. I've been using the app QuickPic for a while now and have been pretty happy with it.
Thanks for the info on the 2d app...unfortunatley I cannot find it trying to search from xda app and I don't know what its exactly called either to try and properly search for it.

The built-in HTC task manager, or some 3rd party app you installed? The built-in one is fine.
What ROM are you coming from, and did you wipe data?
