[Q] ICS Task Manager/Clear Memory exception list?

Hey guys, is it possible to create an exception list for the ICS Task Manager. My problem is that whenever I "clear memory" it will close my Widget Locker and I have to go in and restart it. As much as I clear memory in a day thats alot of restarting. Any help would be appreciated.
Also, I don't need recommendations for other task managers, I would like to keep it native.

You shouldn't be frequently clearing memory as is. Android isn't like a Windows Mobile phone. You're supposed to use the task manager in the event of a misbehaving app and thats pretty much it.

So it isn't necessarily a bad thing if the memory bar is full?

I never clear memory. Just use task manager to close open apps. My battery life is great and phone runs like a charm. Just my 2cents

Hold home and swipe the apps you're not using to the left or right.

No its not. Those apps are just being stored in cache. They aren't actively using battery (unless its a poorly programmed app). Android should automatically remove the ones that are idle on its own, though. Just let Android do its thing.
If you're really worried about runaway apps, use this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...sMSwxLDEwOSwiY29tLnpvbXV0LndhdGNoZG9nbGl0ZSJd
Its a different kind of task manager. All it does is monitor what apps are using the most CPU. ONLY kill the stuff it alerts you that are using crazy high CPU processing.

(?)good task killer

I need a good task killer, my phone is freezing and locking up.... other people i know use them and say they work great, i know some dont like them but i dont like pulling my battery several times a day!

I use active apps.

Try memory booster lite. But you are better off installing the V6 Supercharger.

Its just not especially Ram Level 2.
Just hit clear memory on the Ram Tab. And kill any unnecessary apps on the active apps tab

I wish I could like the same post multiple times. So many people ask me how my Epic runs so smooth even after days of uptime and constant use. I answer "with good settings, choosing good apps, and otherwise letting Android do what it's built to do and not changing things assuming I know better".
Sent from my SPH-D700 CM9 4.0.4

so r u saying keep letting it run like poo? because what it is doing is pissing off right now

Try Memory Booster lite or the built in task killer. Just don't keep killing system apps that are going to reload anyway because that will drain your battery. Android on the miniscule amount of memory the Epic has, does not always handle memory correctly and some apps are poorly written and do not release memory and resources.

Same here. I run CM9 RC1 completely stock and let it do it's thing. I'm at 200+hrs uptime and it's still smooth as butter.

As we all know every phone and every user and every configuration is different. Marcusant and Zeinzu both of you have had more than your share of your phones acting different than the majority. It would be more helpful to suggest how to help this guy than brag about how wonderful your phone is. Makes you guys sound like someone else we know. Some phones do not clear memory well and can use help.
OP use some of my suggestions here.

its increases bcoz of background running apps and services... advance task killer or something like that can solve your problem... or search for android assistant... that has quite more features... but task killer is enough for you.... :good:

yup im also having 246 mb constantly used space on RAM... bt my phone is faster as usual... that doesnt cause my phone to slow down... are you getting lesser used space on RAM right after every reboot ??? i think it wont change....

thanx for help....i found solution. Go to playstore and download taskmanager which shows youbrealtim process....and after installing end all real time process. It will free up that partition. This part is for real time process which we can not see normally....:thumbup:

How do you guys keep your Rams low?

I am just curious on what are people doing to keep the Ram count down other than closing constantly unused apps manually.
Mine is always up there and I am constantly removing and clearing apps.
Thanks

It's all about what u got running on your phone, u know apps,games,widgets, LWP, Sometimes even some launchers suck alot of RAM. I would suggest u download greenify app from the playstore, that should help a little.

Just leave that alone, android is smart and you're just wasting battery life. Google android ram management or why not to kill apps on android, there are about 1000 posts about why not to do so anymore.

I'm at 1.15 right now, but you got to realize that in Android unused RAM is really just a waste. With these modern phones it will keep apps in RAM to speed up launch times, response time, etc. As long as your RAM isn't so full it lags to launch new apps you're good. Android will clear space when it's needed.
