Here's a few resons why you shouldnt use it and why it makes very little difference.

It helps me when apps like music start to act crazy and play skipping tracks. I hit the app killer and it saves me. So while not useful for some, its useful for others.

Random 100% cpu usage. A.k.a. AGGRAVATING LAG!

About 3 times a day, my evo will start to lag horribly. I check system pannel and it says the cpu usage is 100%. Then i look at the processes and theres like 3 apps running and then the normal system processes. Anyone know why?

Which apps are running and maxing your CPU usage? All 3 or 1 of 3 could be the culprit? Apps like Watchdog can tell you what app is blowing up and you can take it from there. I've had a few get out of hand and killing once or uninstalling / reinstalling has corrected it. Clearing data / cache for the app might help. Gotta figure out which ones are maxing it first.
blah blah effin blah

Usually its my normal stuff like handcent, lookout, ane maybe music. Its like one minute its fine and the next its lagging like crazy.

try what conqu1stador said with the watchdog app and if you still cant figure it out, try a different kernel.

Yeah i got the lite version. It looks like a very very nice app. Thanks for your replys.
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App

So it just happened again, finally. I looked at Watchdog right away to see what was causing it, and turns out it wasnt an app at all. Its "Android System". Now, to be honest, im not really sure what that means ( im guessing it means my rom or OS or something like that). Can anyone shed some light on what is happening?
If it matters im running myns 2.2 rls5, and kings #9 kernel.

I was having a similar problem, figured out it was the stock voicemail app, froze it with TB and problem went away.

More than likely you're having the dreaded wakelock issue caused by the combination of baseband 2.15.00.11.19 & PRI 1.90_003. Downgrade your PRI to 1.77_003. That should alleviate the wakelock and battery drainage. If you do not have this combination, download and install the aLogcat app. After initiating the app, look for and pay attention to anything colored in red.

Only time this happens to me is when my phone is syncing my accounts

Yes, but whenever a wakelock appears, Android system seem to always display a high percentage use.

White screen with htc when going from apps or app drawer to home screen (sense)

As the title says when I'm in my text app or app drawer, anything I get that screen and sense reloads. How do I make it stop? It's driving me nuts! I'm also on MikG v2.5.
Thanks

Have you wiped cach and dalvic?
Thats where I'd start.

Tried that didn't work.

Check settings in Spare parts. I think it is labeled activity process managment. Set it to normal, not aggressive.

Hey thanks. I did that earlier and it worked. I always set it to aggressive on my epic so I figuredi could get away with it on the evo.

I would use the v6 supercharger script. That should take care of the reload problem. Plus running apps2sd in a partitioned setup should help.
Sent from my HTC_supersonic using XDA App

Yea when I was having this problem real bad I tried the setting in spare parts, only worked for about 2 days. The fix that finally worked for good was running the V6 supercharger script and setting the launcher "hard to kill". Now I haven't had a sense reload in over two weeks.

odd problem just happened

this is what just happened!
my phone was on my desk for about an hour of not using, them....my secondary phone rings and someone tells me that my phone is closed. i said, wtf? then....i pressed power button.....nothing......picked it up.....the phone WAS HOTTTTTT at the earpiece area and the camera area and it didnt want to turn on. i removed the battery, then it started and the battery was at 4% from 30% on hour ago!
what was this? anyone else with this?

You were running GPU hungry apps on the background of the phone. Don't worry, just make sure you have a ha bit of closing and deleting apps that you don't need.

i didnt start anything......and how come it was dead....and only started after pulling the battery out!?

The way I understand it is this...
Google spends a TON of money developing the Android Platform. It was orginally and continues to pride itself on multi tasking. That said they didn't just forget that programs running in the background could drain the battery. Android manages your apps perfectly and to think they would leave it up to a 3rd party software to assist the OS is a joke. App management software is bad, all bad.
More people come on here asking why their phone suddenly died, and majority of them have app management programs. Don't know if they are causing the issue, but it seems possible.
Hope that helps

Facebook app = battery hog!?

So ever since I got my phone, I was wondering why my battery is lacking with my brothers s4 and then it just came to me.
It's the FACEBOOK APPS! I checked the app and it. Uses 40 Mb's which I surprising for me but then I uninstalled both the Facebook app and messenger and my battery the next day improved by a lot (minimum, for me, 45 on screen minutes added to the battery)! I noticed the difference . I'm just sharing this information if you guys have a battery issue like me and have Facebook installed.
Also if you really love Facebook, just use the browser version and make a shortcut and out it on your home screen!
Hope this helped!
P. S: Facebook (when it was installed) did not show up in my battery usage, so I have no idea why it was running in the background

You may wanna try my modded facebook version. it removes the location feature from it. Which is the biggest battery hog. It constantly updates your location in the background. Taking a huge toll on your battery from trying to acquire a GPS lock plus the services themselves running in the background. I am planning on making one that has an "exit" option to fully shut everything down.

Thanks! Can you link me to your Facebook app? It sounds much better than the original one

Should see very little difference! I used to use the website, then i got frustrated with some things, and grabbed the app. And noticed battery drain as you said. i also noticed my GPS lock icon kept coming up. Plus i hated how facebook ALWAYS put your location onto your status updates and messages. So i removed it Now i love the app.

I have FB on my s4, but there's hardly any battery drain because I use FriendCaster. Works fine for me.

Facebook doesn't seem to touch my battery much; I suppose because I have the location bit disabled in Facebook and GPS off - I dunno.
No issues here though... IM+ Pro is a different story, :/.

Yeah, i used to have GPS turned off too. Thats why it doesn't kill your battery. I don't like not having GPS off though. cause when i go to use a GPS app, ie weather Google Maps etc its a pain to have to turn it back on.

Swipe down, tap, swipe up/back button. Not much of a pain in my situation.
Only time I use GPS is when using the Navigation from Google maps, which isn't often.

Thats too much of a pain for me. In all honesty, facebook shouldnt even have an ongoing "tracking service" like it does. Its downright invasive. No wonder people can rape so easily, facebook, by default, is broadcasting their location every time the user posts a status.
But i have a weather app that gets my location ever hour and updates for weather alerts and such. So it would be very annoying if my GPS was off.

...

Unless you have location data turned off, you don't need GPS on for apps to aquire your location.
