Yay or naw? Does it affect battery life? Anyone see any difference with or without?
If the autokiller is a task manager you do not need it. Android since froyo has had great memory manager as compared to the earlier iterations. You might not know this but your ram usage is supposed to be high.
If you need to kill a task the "settings->applications->running services" can do that.

I've been using auto memory manager for a long time and before that advanced task killer. Are these kind of apps even need in froyo?
My only 2 concerns are battery life and performance. Is the stock app manager good enuff?

For the longest time I did the same thing then I started heating that it was not good so on tried it with out and I can not tell a diffrence rather way in performance or battery life. So I decided to leave out off for the space even though it's not much

In my experiments I saw the battery life to be worse when using task killers with Froyo. I dont even mess with the open apps on my phone anymore.. This is because android is designed to keeps apps in the process tree so that they open faster.. However the "open apps" take up little to no memory. What I do mess with however is the Running Services. To get here go to Setting/application/ runnings services.
Hope it helped!
I use Droidwall, Autostarts, & AutoKiller Memory
anything else anyone recommends?
Ill take none of the above for $100 Alex.
You do realise using app killers actually reduces your battery life right?
lol autokiller

I don't know about that.
I would like to know the best settings that people use or recommend using or now of an app that's good. I'm using auto killer and I realized it works a lot differently on this phone compared to others.

I stopped using auto task killers ages ago, the built in memory management in android is good enough. You can always just swipe away the apps you dont use in the task drawer anyways.

Using task killers on Android stopped making sense since froyo. Don't use one.

He's not asking about task killers. He's asking what is the best threshold of androids internal memory handler gives optimal results. I'm curious too.
Ah right. I saw the word auto killer and assumed task killer. In that case, I think ram management apps are just as useful as their equivalents for other OSes: useless.

Yes it was about oom think supercharger script and I was wondering since this phone is quite peculiar on available ram.

I personally use ROM toolbox to control how much background apps and foreground apps gets to use RAM... It's not a task killer. More useful than that. I personally hated the fact that some apps just close because there wasn't much RAM left. These apps just stops that from happening.

What's a good task manager that works well, I've tried a few but haven't found something I like yet. Anyone got advice.

if your thinking of a task manager like a task killer dont use one, really a bad idea for android. if you must use something like watchdog so you dont blindly kill apps. even then when things are set up the way you like it and your sure all is well, i would suggest freezing watchdog as it sits in background itself and wastes cpu.
just do a little google search and youll see what im talking about
Ok, thanks. I'm still learning my way around this ROM and all its bells ans whistles. For some odd reason though I use up a lot of RAM. I have to go and kill apps manually.

Your definition of a lot may differ from mine, this Rom has a supercharger script built in, this along with androids ability to choose what apps to kill is the best way to go. You may have some bad apps that have memory leaks or wake locks. Use watchdog to spy on those and remove them if necessary

Press the track ball in the recent apps to kill all apps in a safe and effective way.
Lately I've noticed my battery life draining fast. So when I check my RAM usage its always around 1 GB at any given time. Is something wrong here? Ive removed most bloatware apps, I have no Widgets running and maybe 5 apps I downloaded. Nor am I running any live wallpaper. Just seems like a lot of RAM for not doing much with my phone..
