Seen on the main XDA page, edited it for Wildfire S: Cleantool
This tool disables HTC bloatware. It keeps taking space on internal memory (APK is still there) but the advantage is that there's more free ram, less background processes and a cleaner app drawer. This way, you should multitask longer and maybe a bit better battery life.
Also device will start up a bit faster.
It disables:
HTC facebook
HTC peep
HTC friend stream
HTC search app
HTC stocks
HTC greader
update version 2
Cleaned it furher up! If you use another launcher then stock, you can use option disable Sense.
download
Instructions:
- unzip to desktop
- be sure HTC drivers are installed, here they are.
- enable usb debugging: go to settings, applications, development and select usb debugging.
- connect phone to pc, select charging mode.
- run the cleantool.2.1.1.bat file.
- select first option, then second option.
- select then reboot and disconnect phone.
For going back to stock: go to settings, storage and choose reset data option.

And does it stay that way after reboot?
EDIT :Yes, I see.
Can we choose what to disable?
EDIT 2: Don't see any diference in phone memory.

Guys, I am sorry but - do you have any idea how to use your phone ?!? 150MB free ?!? WTF dude
At the moment I have 258MB free with S-On Wildfire S, installed bunch of software and left with 35MB free phone memory, all home screens are full of widgets ...
The less I have ever saw is around 190MB free...
Could you please explain to me and the comunity how to NOT use our android phones please ?
P.S. - BTW I am using an antivirus software too which is permanently activated and checking, and now have 259MB free and 131MB used even checked through settings which consumes another 11MB RAM...
P.S. 2 - thats with DATA on, accounts - gmail(calendar, mail, contacts), live mail, contacts, htc sense, weather, twitter, fliker, facebook, google+ = all is set to sync, what else ?
Thanks for sharing this, Henry.
I don't really know if this tool will bring any advantage to me.
Actually I don't have any of those apps (bloatware) running in memory so I guess that it's just good news for some roms, not all.
On the 2.3.5 RUU those apps aren't loaded into RAM unless you use the widgets or open the apps at your will.
This should be nice for earlier/other ROMS that load all that crap on phone startup.
When my phone was branded to Vodafone I had stocks, peep, facebook for sense and other crap occupying memory.
Now without running the Clean Tool I have 267MB free memory for the system and 80MB free for apps.
Considering that I have installed a lot of stuff including: App Monster Pro, GPS software, Poweramp, musiXmatch, ES File Explorer, Google Goggles, Traffic Counter, Wikidroid, YouTube latest version, Battery Indicator Pro, Google Street View, Facebook, AK Notepad, Fast Discharge, History Eraser, Voice Search, Google Translate, Klondike, Gmail latest version, JuiceDefender Ultimate and other small apps I think I cant complain.
Almost 60 downloads keep on going!
Great to see it works!
Yes, I know how to use phone, thanks for asking. :banghead:
I have pretty the same app running, but again, only 130-160 mb available. And that's after using advanced task killer.

No.12, I strongly recommend you don't use any task killer on your phone. Since Froyo (at least) the O.S. keeps reopening apps all the time.
This is crap I know but that's the way to make some apps load faster.
The task killer will only kill your battery because the phone will spend lots of time closing and opening apps again and again.
Memory access drains battery at a very quick pace.
I know this from my own experience. When I stopped using task killers the battery started lasting much longer. Already happened on my defunct HTC Desire...
But won't I get to the point where memory usage will increase so much and phone will become slow?

Eventually that will happen if you don't restart your phone once in a while...
I had two HTC phones that had less memory than the WFS. A Tattoo and a Wildfire. On those memory ran out and made the phone slow.
That never happened to me on the WFS... but I have a habit of restarting the phone every week and clear app cache with History Eraser frequently. This helps for sure.

Superuser is installed because you are temp rooted. You can always uninstall.

Why don't all app's have a exit or close? Take Facebook for instance once, you load that app it stays open no way to close it and taking up battery. Is there a app so you can have theses close.

For crying out loud, search a little. You have a rooted device running Leo Droid and yet NO IDEA how Android manages applications? There are a plethora of task killers (-> google it) around, but also everybody knows they are not needed (-> google it).
Don't get me wrong, I know that not knowing stuff is a perfectly natural thing for a human being (after all, I am a teacher). But in this day and age of information being readily available at the click of your mouse (Google et consortes, this forum's "Search" button...) you still need someone to find/type in the answer to YOUR QUESTION so that you get it on a platter... Sigh.

Multitasking the Android Way

P.S Do NOT use any of those task killers on your 2.1 or later versions of Android phone!
Cheers!
Concerning Facebook I totally understand his complain. Even with disabled notifications and "leaving" the app via backbutton it is listed as the highest battery-consumer (under*#*#4636#*#* --> battery usage while idle).
Since I didn't find a solution for that I uninstalled Facebook. But the other guys are right, as long as an app is programmed well, it does nothing in background and sleeps. No need to close apps or free RAM. Free RAM is always a sign of bad memory management in the OS so keep it filled up as it will speed up your phone!

Thanks facebook is high battery consumer, never used a task killer and I never will.

I have installed the facebook-app and it is no battery drainer for me.
Go to chat, then menu -> go offline.
if the app is closed then it won't sync up itself will it? (or if it does it'll just restart itself again).
say you have facebook to sync each hour - I thought the hour was from open...
so open check news feed, back out of it (facebook still running), after running for an hour it will check again and notify you if you have notifications on...
The only thing that does seem to annoy me slightly is when I open improved email it seems to open a whole host of other apps at the same time, including soundhound, stocks, maps, and about 10 other things... no idea why as it doesn't need those apps opening at all
Hi! I'm looked throught all posts, but nothing found about this, no one answer. Just some questions from some users, but no answers
My problem is- I don't have multitasking on alpharev s-off rooted New Sence ReflexTSence HD. now I have v 1.7, before I had 1.5, 1.6.
I tryed to use taskkiller app, all is ok while it is running... I have used different settings, some of them was ok. !!!BUT!!! After some time on standby taskkiller kills itself or phone kills it, I realy don't know. So if I delete taskkiller app, multitasking doesn't exists anyway. Web browser closes after I hit home button and use any other app like sms @mail or player (power amp) or phone book...
I CAN'T SEND SMS OR MAKE PHONE CALL WITHOUT LOOSING WEB SESSION (((confused: (SORRY 4 MY POOR LANGUAGE)
First of all, uninstall the taskkiller app, it will do more harm then good. It is not needed anymore since android 2.2.
If you phone runs out of memory it will kill your websession. Don't know a solution for this, you could try an other rom, but that's your own choice.
but some times it works ANY IDEA???

Hi Guys;
I bought a wildfire s (gingerbread 2.3.3 - htc sense 2.1 - software number 1.35.720.3).
I am running very low of internal memory (just 7Mb out of the original 150) also if all apps I've downloaded have been installed on SD. I have reduced the space for text messages and already cleaned the cache.
I have some suspects on the Twitter for HTCsense widget..but not sure.
My device unfortunately is S-ON, so apparently rooting is not a piece of cake.
Any suggestion on:
- how to free up internal memory
- how to get in full control of the device removing non-intersting stock apps?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Did you try App2SD?
thanks King.
Yes I've tried it already with no success; I have just one app installed in the internal memory.
I have 14MB internally dedicated to the address book which i think cannot be moved to SD.
Other apps partially allocated to internal memory are Google+ and Facebook for which i reduced at the minimum the cache.
There are stock apps which also are annoying as I do not want them but cannot remove.
Do you have an idea where the data of the widget "twitter for HTC sense" are stored?..the widget keeps in memory many tweets, and I cannot size the allocated space to it..
Wow, I've like 30-40 apps (other than stock) installed on my phone. My address book is of 13.56 MB
check this:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1162757
Maybe you can free some memory with this method
Hey alquez..let me know more! I'm struggling with insufficient memory!..I think I need to have the phone s-off to flash a ROM..am I right?
Thanks yaret..the method described there is for froyo..I'll try if I'll find no other options.
With no reasons I can explain today internal memory decreased at 4Mb..I delete all text messages,emails and removed Twitter account,but manage to gain only 2Mb..
I'm starting to feel frustrated,a photo app refused to work today due to low memory
Please share ideas on how to spot what's killing my phone..
Thanks to all
Thanks alquez..just let me know if in the meantime I need to s-off my phone.
I'll also try do a factory data reset and slowly install apps one by one to understand which one is killing my phone..

I got HTC One V for me and now after 3 days, just 45MB of RAM is FREE. No apps are running / opened.
Also when I touch the 'home' button on the bottom of the screen, it says 'loading' and after about 10 seconds of waiting, the home screen appears. WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME?
That's quite unusual. When idling with no apps open, my phone has anything from 50 - 120 mb of RAM free. Could you provide more details that would help us identify the problem (i.e anything you've downloaded/modified recently, screenshots of your task manager page, running any custom launchers, any custom ROMs, rooted/unrooted etc.)

You have also apps that are running on Cache slot. See first screen? Go to that again, press menu on your phone to bring up the menu screen and select Show cached processes. Also, it is a good advice to restart your phone once in awhile. Just to make sure that the cache is rebuilt and the ram is defragmented.
Cheers

Hello everyone,
By reading your helpful posts, I have rooted my Xplay, removed all the bloatwares, installed Link2SD and Autostarts.
This way I've been able to save lots of ram and my Play starts really quickly and has improved its performances.
However,
however,
however...
This bloody facebook won't stop launching by itself: task killer cannot handle it, Autostarts cannot manage to prevent it from starting by itself. Went into the settings of the app to remove all notifications, but still, it's always there, in the running programms, taking between 20 and 50mb of precious RAM.
I suffer randomly from lags in demanding games and I suspect that's because of Facebook working in background...
Do you have another solution than simply removing it? Indeed, Xperia play is a great gaming device indeed, but it's also a great smartphone, and I want to enjoy it with its full potential. Facebook is part of it and the official app offers more possibility than the non-official ones, usually limited to some basic options.
I just want it to stay closed until I decide to launch it and use it by myself... And not in my back...
Thanks for your help!
Uninstall Facebook.
Use site on mobile or on pc.
May sound "stupid", but its the best way

To be honest the official facebook app for our phones is rubbish, Constant pointless updates what don't fix any bugs, eats up your phone memory plus ram,
Just remove it with X-plore if you have Root

Actually, I've disabled Facebook and its extensions with Autostarts, but still, it remains and continues launching automatically! So I've just frozen it with link2SD and installed Friendcaster instead. So annoying!

Very freakin' simple. FREEZE IT.

Use the mobile site via your browser instead. It's way better and faster anyway.
