Auto closing tasks - Galaxy S II Themes and Apps

Hi guys , I'm new to the android scene and wanted to know a good app possibly from the market place that will auto close or close task by means of a swipe or tap . Something along those lines! I have looked at the market place and there are so many options . I would like to know what most of you Guys are using . And would appreciate any suggestions paid or free ! Doesn't. Matter .
Thanks in advance
Cheers

Hi,
Im also new to android using a Galaxy S2 and experiencing poor battery performance.
A friend recommended advanced taskkiller from the market.
Its set to autostart with the device and the Autokill level is set to Crazy
In the frequency you can choose how often it kills (for me that is every time I lock the screen).
This has definitely improved my battery life =)

Thanks for the reply there are so many similar apps on the market it gets very confusing which one to choose ! are you using the free version or the paid version ? Is there any significant difference between the two ?

[Q] CM7: disable "Dragons Ahead!" warning in Performance settings?

Can I disable this message? I don't want to go through it every time I wish to change the CPU clock speed.
Huh?

I can't directly answer your question, but why don't you just use SetCPU like everyone else? No need to fish through the settings, just a simple app.

Everyone else? I don't see the point in paying for an app if the rom already has cpu oc settings built in. I'm sure we aren't the only 2

You can download SetCPU for free from a thread on XDA:

I bought it from the market well before I found it on XDA, but I would've bought it anyways to show support
I don't need bloat in my CPU throttler. I've been using No-frills CPU Control lately but having it cooked into the ROM is even better.
Well, like you said, its already cooked into the rom right? If you don't even wanna get setcpu for free on xda, I don't see why you're complaining about pressing a little ok button. The app isnt bloat at all and its pretty convinient. You can even set profiles so that the phone's cpu voltage will increase and decrease as conditions are met.

how do you get it for free on XDA?
If you're running Launcher Pro you can create a shortcut directly to the CPU settings screen which will bypass the warning screen. Long press desktop > Shortcuts > Activities > CyanogenMod Settings > scroll down and tap CPU Settings > Name it whatever > click Ok.
You can also do the same thing to the Launcher Pro dock. Long press on an icon/empty slot > Change Shortcut > Activities > same steps as above.
You might be able to do this in other launchers, not sure about them though.

3 posts above yours....
I agree with the OP... need a way to get rid of the warning msg if possible...
regarding getting setCPU... and dont get me wrong i already bought the app from the market since the time we only had temp root... but if you go through the CM development thread you'll c that this issue has been discussed extensively before both on the thread and on the IRC channel and the general consensus was that sticking with the overclocking module built into the CM ROM is better than going with an additional app to do the job (not sure of the exact reasons though)... and now that is exactly what I am doing even though I miss the profiles of setCPU...
so back to the main topic of this thread... is there a way to get rid of that warning msg for good...

[Q] Not Enough RAM !!!

Hi , my Cousin bought Samsung Galaxy W a few days ago.
Already in his first hours with the new device he noticed that there are too much lags and bugs.
The Galaxy W has 512mb ram !
He ask if there is a solution for this problem and maybe he can add more memory (RAM)
Thank you !
Not possible.

tank you !!
hi, actually you can expand the ram using swap. but you have to flash to cow kernel first, cause it got swap function. try this software RAM EXPANDER
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.swapit.expander.de&hl=EN_US
but there is disadvantage. if you wanna use your device as usb mass storage, first you need to un-swap first then restart the phone. otherwise you pc cant recognise the memory card.
What kind of bug can you get using a stock rom? Especially when you bought it like a few days ago.

How to fix lag in 4.2.2 system wide.

I have stock gnex on takju, since 4.2.2 I have suffered from lag all over the place, the lag could be fixed by restarting the phone but it would eventually come back.
I have only 300MB of data plan and I noticed that Facebook and facebook messenger where using about 50MB a month on the background without any user interaction and just a couple of days ago I started seeing Facebook app as the second most battery using app just behind screen on, this made me uninstall Facebook and and I instantly saw performance go up all over the place, it was night and day comparison, my phone feels like new and the buttery effect is back.
Now I installed Facebook back just to test and it indeed is the reason for my lag but this time I used greenifyed it and it fixed the lag too.
So there you go, hope this helps

Then maybe is another app running in the background using a lot of RAM or using a lot of resources?

Does matter. I disabled background data (as opposed to removing the app entirely) on Facebook and have noticed substantial speed improvement instantly. The only place you can do it, that I'm aware of, is from the mobile data screen when checking the apps usage.

There are two places to disable notification from Facebook on mobile.
The first would be to go into the settings by clicking on the 3 point button just right of the multitasking navigation key, then disabling notifications.
Second, by clicking on the top left corner button inside the Facebook app, then clicking on privacy settings --> notifications---> mobile push--> uncheck all
Sometimes I think Facebook deliberately tries to complicate the notification settings so as to keep pushing themselves on our faces!

Thanks for the tip, this actually helped a bit.
I've had luck with disabling auto-rotation for some reason. Caused SystemUI to lag after time. Hopefully it'll be patched in 4.3.

Ram usage always over 75% is this normal?

Hi guys, I'm running the official cyanogenmod 10.2 nightlies... I'm getting over 75% memory consumption at all times.. My storage is over 40% free so I don't have problems there...
The issue is that every time I'm in an app and I press the home button, my launcher has to restart (probably because of low memory . I'm using nova launcher)
Any suggestions of what could be eating up my memory?.. This much consumption after I clear all apps from memory can't be normal...
Any suggestions for any other light ROMS that use less memory?
Thanks in advance
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda app-developers app
If you're really looking for more memory, try a "deeper" task killer app capable of killing system apps, e.g. Advanced Task Killer Pro (though task killers are altogether not suggested as said by other people).
I also use Autostarts to prevent random apps from starting up when it's not supposed to (Greenify should also do the trick).
With the help of just these two tiny apps, I get 500MB+ free RAM on boot (CM10.2, Franco r392).
Oh, and nothing kills an app better and deeper than a Force Stop in Settings-Apps. If an app persists in task killers (e.g. Fused Location in 4.2.x ROMs), just Force Stop it.

This is the way Android is supposed to work - memory is usually filled up with cached apps for better performance... However I do think there is something screwed up with memory management in recent nightlies.

Try flashing a kernel that has more free memory like Fancy Kernel or the latest Franco Kernel nightly...they both provide an extra 50MB+ of RAM which makes a HUGE difference in performance and multitasking.
Well it depends on how many apps you've opened. With no apps in recents I have a usage of 100-200 MB so I have then ~500 MB free. I am not using a taskkiller. It is better to not have a taskkiller on Android.

can i stop all running apps at once ?

can i stop all running apps at once ?
Be more specific. For what, why, and how
I believe that going to the app switcher (square button) then hitting Clear All will close everything.
no ..
even when i close the, they still running i think .. i want to stop them all .. form the app manager

Why exactly? No good can come from doing this.
You can go to developer options and set the process limit lower.

What you're asking to do is pointless and counterproductive. Android manages memory for maximum efficiency already

In theory. Don't forget this is 5.1.0
Closing all in recent tasks will close programs that are not set to always run in the background. Force quitting all apps is pretty pointless though, and if not regularly like a task manager will hurt battery life as the apps fire back up again.
Your best bet is to use Greenify, add all the apps you want quit, and use a custom action like double tap to hibernate and then shut the screen off. This will force quit all applications you select.
