DON'T use it!
Android handles running apps fine. You don't need a task killer. Task killers only cause problems with many apps that need to be running.

Whats everyones favorite task killer?

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.

App that disables other apps from sucking your battery in the background

Since I freeze apps like Facebook when I'm not running it because it stays open in the background, this is app was what I was looking for....it saves a few steps.
It disables apps you choose completely when you're not using it.
I think there's a fee other apps that do the same thing...

Hide or Lock application

Hi Team,
Is there any way I can lock or hide my apps in such a way that it can't be uninstall.
There are apps in the play store through which you can lock & hide apps but you can uninstall the apps through task manager or through soft key menu option.
Any advice? I have Samsung galaxy note 2
Thanks in advance.

Protect application with one of good SW from play store, I am using smart application protector since > 2 yrs and really nice
Then add protector application to device administration (to make it uninstallable)
Then protect
setting
play store
task manager
Installer
along with application you want to protect.

Thanks for you reply.... This application is good but all the apps which I have locked through this application can be uninstall by using the soft key in th menu..... by adding this in device administration I can't uninstall this app but can uninstall all the other apps which are locked using this app. Any advice for this?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

With Soft key means?
Menu - uninstall, or long pressing on application isn't?
If you lock installer then it should ask password.
You have to protect all applications said in previous msg which can uninstall application.

In Note2, if you long press any app then you can move the app shortcut to home screen can't uninstall.
Soft key is the key which is at the left of the home button. If you touch the left soft key when you are in menu, you will find a list of options in which there is an option called uninstall when you select that option, a - sign pop up in each of the third party app. And when you touch that sign the selected third party app will uninstall.
There are two way we can resove this I guess :
1. If we can disable the function of uninstall from the soft key in a way that it ask for password as well or
2. We can have one app through we can hide apps and we can add the hiding app in device administration as well so no one can uninstall that app.

Got it
Anyway third party launcher will work, bcoz it will not have option to uninstall from menu.
Right now i am using Next launcher and having option to long press to uninstall and selecting it, pop up for password.

Thanks!
Do you know any app through which I can hide my apps and I can add the app in device administration.

You can't see CCSWE app manager in drwawer?
I have it in drawer and opening it will show you list of installed application and you can hide it from there.

I have uninstalled the app n install again. Now its showing but when I open it ask to confirm root privileges.
My phone is not rooted yet.

Do not use advanced task killer. Android does a very good job of managing everything. There are many things that run in the background or stay as a cache on your ram. That is what you are seeing. Do not end these tasks because it actually uses more battery to reload then into RAM. Unless you have a rogue app draining your battery do not fret over it.

If you're rooted you can use an app called Autostarts to prevent apps from running after boot.
