Try watchdog, or OS Monitor. They both work great. I use them together.

Thanks for the suggestion. "OS Monitor" is great!

Ever since I switched over to paranoid cm10 there's no Samsung apps market. I've tried installing it but I know it doesn't work on our rom... so what I'm hoping is someone could possibly get me the apk for the "Task Monitor" only available on the Samsung market? I know I'm not the only one from using search that's looking for it. Please anyone who hasn't switched to cm10 can you download it and maybe email it or post it here? Thanks!:beer:

Well it installed okay but when trying to place the widget the process fails.. it puts it on my screen but doesn't respond when clicked and always shows 0. Hmm

I think a lot of those Samsung apps.. task manager in particular, are dependent on touchwiz and don't work at least fully on aosp roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452004
Some guys on my old phones forums were able to mod the apks so they worked on aosp.. task manager included, maybe someone would want to ask them how they did it?:thumbup:

Hello,
I just updated to JB and was able to remove all bloat except the mobile hotspot app.
Does anybody know the name of the .apk that needs removing?
Thank you in advance.

Simple. Hide applications and check on mobile hotspot and save it. App will be hidden!

Use this application: "Root-App uninstaller" from Google Play and click on SYS App and you will see it there, first disable it and then click RECYCLE and then click the app again to uninstall it. Hit thanks please!
Personally I like "Easy Task Killer Advanced"
Hold back to kill

You really don't need to use a task killer after froyo. If your running jellybean, or ICS, just swipe the app off the built in task manager, that works better then any third party app.

Not using any task killer, 1.6GB usable RAM is more than enough for me

Some people like to have the auto kill take control.

Some people are dumb.
Beyond froyo, android will kill apps as resources are needed. Auto task killers use more battery by making you constantly restart apps.

The good old stock touchwiz task killer.

The only app worth force closing is Facebook.
My girlfriend has an s3 and it drives me up a wall every time I see her swipe away all her apps. I'm like wtf are you doing?! You have 2gb of ram! That's more than my netbook!

Amen to that :good:
I let Android handle it on its own, unless it's a seldomly used app that I've only temporarily used.. I'll close those when I'm done. Task killers aren't worth it.
I see tons of people recommending against task killers, which is fine. That's no reason, however, to allow hundreds of apps to start up on their own (e.g., at boot, when Internet access is active, etc.). ROM Toolbox Lite has many useful apps, one of which is an auto-start manager. I'm sure there are others.
Autostarts is very useful for preventing apps from starting. Before ICS, I relied on Advanced Task Killer. Now I just use Autostarts and the stock task manager to manage running tasks.

Android OS is the best task killer

There seems to be a lot of votes for the stock task killer lol.

If it's using ram, it's using battery. I repeat, Hold back to kill.

I never had this problem with my S2 and Note 2. But now with the S4, it's happened quite often! I use AlarmDroid app as I like the features. But it's been unreliable. It doesn't go off like 50% of the times. I don't have task killer so that's not the problem. Anyone experiencing the same problem with 3rd party alarm apps?? Any idea why or how to fix it?
Here's a forum where people are talking about such a thing. It's in regards to some htc phone, but some of the ideas seem applicable:

Thanks for the link but most of them are related to task killer when I don't have. Does the S4 have a hidden task killer or something?
I have this issue too :/
