[PORTED] SIII Task Manager (UPDATED 07/15) - ICS ONLY

Galaxy SIII Task Manager
Updated 07/15 - Updated/Signed/Zipalign'd APK - Rehosted -
#INSTALL AT YOUR OWN RISK - I ASSUME NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY MALFUNCTIONS#
#PLEASE FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY#
#ICS ONLY#
Ladies and Gentleman,
I present to you a working port of the Galaxy SIII's Task Manager. It's not much different than the T989's stock, but it looks better and seems to perform better.
WILL NOT WORK WITH:
Stock mods such as InFamous or Darkside. Generally, anything that came with the SII's task manager preinstalled.
With these ROMs it installs but will not close apps or clear memory for some reason. Still working on finding cause.
Works with:
AOKP, AOPK, CWM9 Nightlies, Vanilla, and all mods of these.
Prereq:
Must be rooted
Must be running ICS
You might need Root Explorer of the first installation method does not work
Installation:
1.) Download SIII Task Manager Signed/Zipaligned APK
2.) Install like any other APK.
3.) Reboot
4.) Press+hold home button it should have a task manager button at the bottom. If not it should be in your application list.
Optional Installation (if above doesn't work)
1.) Use Root Explorer and mount R/O
2.) Move APK file to system/app
3.) Rename to TaskManager.apk
4.) Set Permissions as rw-r--r--
XXO
XOO
XOO
5.) Reboot
6.) Press+hold home button it should have a task manager button at the bottom. If not it should be in your application list.
This new port was done by me directly from my SIII.

it does indeed work on DSv7 just installed no freezing either follow instructions and you should be fine, be sure to change the original jobmanager file extention to .bak you dont have to remove it, then import the gs3 apk
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium

You might experience a slight battery drain issue or apps not closing upon End Task being pressed on certain builds. If that happens, you can delete the JobManager.apk and rename the old JobManager.bak to Jobmanager.apk and reboot.
Still determining the cause, but on AOKP and CM9 Nightly this works fine. It seems to only affect InFamous at this time. I couldn't duplicate the error in Darkside3v7.
I'll come back with a fix. And it only happens every *now* and then and rebooting fixes it. Just enough annoying to be considered a bug.

Can you, or anyone having this issue, run Darkside cache wipe from recovery, come back and let me know if it fixed it?
I think it may be a cache issue of old data from the older version. With AOKP/AOSP/CM9 there is are no versions installed by default therefore its not running into any issues on those ROMs, just certain times on InFamous so far. I don't have my Dev T989 with me or I would test it post darkside cache wipe myself.

I must be doing something wrong but i followed instructions to the T and still have stock task manager...or does this not come up while holding the home key? Do you have to enter maually through the app itself?
Edit: NVM you have to access through app drawer and yes i got it working. Thanks for the port :good:

[Q]my ram crosses 318mb/351 mb.all the sounds of my phone disappers

i have a strange problem with w.whenever my ram crosses 318mb/351 mb.all the sounds of my phone disappers.i cant play music,video,no locking and unlocking sounds.i have to restart the phone again.this happens atleast once every day.any thoughts on this?

OK....my best guess is it's the phones way of protecting it's "core" functions. The ram usage has reached a point where there is a danger of failure of its prime functions and it is attempting to divert ram from other non essential services. First thing you've got to do is find out what's eating your ram. There are apps available that can supply this information though I don't know what they're called as I've never had to use them (sorry) Are you using a lot of apps that run in the background to bring you notifications etc? If this is the case and you don't really need the app, delete it....simples.....
There is also a setting in CM9 that allows you to turn off background data if you need to keep the apps......give it a go and see....it might be all you need to do

Other things to try.....
Keep the number of home screens to a minimum.....
Remove "Widgets" from your home screens....
Apps like Facebook, eBay, amazon, PayPal, hmv, game, email....basically any app that takes you to a website.....they ALL use ram and they will ALL restart if you close them......they can ALL be deleted and replaced by bookmarked web searches that can be pasted to your home screen....sure you won't get a notification if billy has commented on your status, or if you have an unread email, or if that item you're watching is ending soon, but if your phone works better as a result....who cares lol.......
If you want to take it further than that, root your phone (if you haven't already) and install Gemini app manager.....you can use it to prevent apps from auto running and using ram.......

No....it's more likely to be too much software trying to access too little ram.....

yes stock rom

That'll be another reason then.....ur stock OS has all sorts of bloatware (social hub, music hub, games hub, maps.....) all of it using RAM.....another thing to watch for....3rd party launchers (go launcher + addons).....very RAM hungry....ROOT your phone and freeze the bloat.....you WILL notice a difference.....you don't even have to install a custom rom, though that WILL help too.....

galaxy w is slow as hell even after cm9 cm10 cm10.1

why it is so slow

That depends on what/how many apps you have installed and how much of the phones resources they're using.......
Also some third party launchers (go) are 'resource hungry' and their 'addon' themes will slow things down even more......

sorry i forgot to say the phone is for my mother and yes i am not a noob or something
2 years of phones flashing experience i have xperia u
she puts just facebook and whatsapp
thats it no third party launchers no heavy programs no games nothing exept that
my old xperia play had 4 pages of heavy games and apps and no lag of course stock 2.3.4
when i was using it i tried cm10 alpha 2 and it was smooth
i was using it back in 2012

I have the same problem here.
I am using CM10 alpha 2. It's kinda slow on my phone (galaxy w)
I use no other launcher except the default launcher that i got form CM10 alpha 2. And the weird thing is, it is slow, and it's battery drain.
Mw battery drain faster after i use this rom

Thank you for your very good work, this rom is surprisingly fast!
But I've encountered two problems:
-In the lockscreen, the clock is slightly covered by the unlock area, especially when listening to music the key are only partially visible.
-the stock browser doesn't work (I know this is mentioned in the known bugs) but I saw PecanCM fixing this issue in the CyanogenMod11 4.4.0 thread, he also posted a fix for this!)
Keep working hard, you're great!

[ROM][KK][BETA] ⍟ OptiKat ⍟ \\ Daily Driver \\ Performance Oriented \\ 23.04.2014
Hey guys!
Here back with another ROM. I present to you OptiKat. Should be stable. This ROM is aimed at performance and everyday use. Not much on the feature side but more on the usability and lightness side. Has probably even less files than SlimKat. This is a beta version to spot and fix the bugs. Build 2 will have the actual boosting mechanism inside. This ROM is based on Carbon ROM by coderzs and probably will have the same bugs. Please test and report bugs because I do not own the device nor can I test it. To understand the teams lack of equipment, this ROM was built inside and HTC Desire HD using ES file manager and text editor. At the current stage the team has neither got an everyday computer. We were barely able to borrow one to package the ROM and upload it. Any donations will be appreciated. We plan on purchasing a new PC next week. Until then I give you:
Downloads: OptiKat - Centaur Build
I do not take any responsibility for whatever happens when using this ROM.

Ouch, this is so embarrassing... I posted on the wrong thread ? silly me.. The ROM that caused phone errors is the xperia-like that you've posted in a separate thread.
This ROM installation was smooth, no errors whatsoever so far. And, as stated in op- it has same graphical problems as in all other kk Roms: gmail shows black content, recenta list is garbled, etc. etc.
Assuming it shares the same problems as coderzs (and all other glacier kk roms, for that matter), then it is something like "90% functional" …for some the glitches are not important, for others not good enough as daily drivers.
I truly hope these things get resolved ?

Shoots video camera like normal, but when one looks captured video not normal. does not say that are full responsible for Internet service.

Runs great using it as my DD... SMOOTH & battery life seems amazing on this. Installed only the apps i use & using solo launcher

Two soft boots, one when first turn on LMT all working as should after boot, second when restored a game thru titanium all working as should after it booted up. Video works for me, 480 and 720 play back as should. Used PA's 0 day mini gapps. All is smooth flowing. Gmail is black. Occasional signal drop as has been happing since ice cream. Could use track pad wake, as the JB switches I have cause it to get stuck at boot animation. Increased DPI density to 200, 182 to small for my old eyes.
When maps is opened it has graphical glitches until screen is rotated around then all is good.
