[APP] Autokiller Memory Optomizer 7.2

We have had much debate over this particular app (and others like it that don't compare IMHO) as to whether it is "useful" or not for our particular phones. Some agree that it is very useful to be able to fine tune our systems while others simply use the built in Task Manager and are content with that. Thanks to [email protected] and his new version, he has definitely made this app a necessity for our phone.
The skinny:
[From Home Page]
Autokiller Memory Optomizer is designed to fine-tune android system's inner memory manager routines to keep your device fast and smooth. It also features a full-powered process manager which lets you control your whole system. If you want to know what it does and how it works you should read about (the) details, process manager and check the faq.

Brief Changelog:
changes:
- LOTS of fixes and small improvements
- will properly be displayed in market (users with custom dpi saw only old
versions)
- fixed service - it will stay running/restarted if necessary
- great new look
- improved pages behaviour, more fluid user interface with less loading
- ICS compatibility
- Widgets: AutoKiller with free memory bubble, Quick restart, Memory
reclaim(!!!)
- updated 3rd party libraries
- much much more.....
I had the priveledge of beta testing this for Mate and he has made some amazing progress since the previous version. One feature that stands out for me is that on the main screen, simply click "Switch To Pages" and it will automatically reclaim lost memory which for me, is a god-send. I was able to click this and my available memory shot up to 570MB FREE! Another noteworthy feature is that there is a Services Tab which lets you kill tasks at the service level. Of course for the true geek, there is an Advanced Option that is packed with many useful options to keep your phone tweaked and running fast and smooth.
I've used this app for quite some time but now with the arrival of 7.2, it is a must-have app for anyone that wants complete control over their device.
You can download this app from the market or from a QR Code on his page:

*EDIT* - As of the latest release available on the Market I was informed by Mate/andrs that the memory reclaim option is only available via the widget. Regardless, it's a KICK-ASS feature that I use numerous times per day.
One question though: Do you think I should ask to have this thread moved to Hacking so that it sees more traffic?

I would have to agree with you, I do consider this a must have app. I have been beta testing this for a very long time an it has made leaps an bounds. There is lots of support from the developer an nothing but wonderful updates making it just that much better.

What settings do you guys have set for optimal performance?

Do you still use V6?

Since I use V6 Supercharger Script by zepplinrox, the settings stick in Autokiller so my min frees, oom and all memory settings are applied from V6 and applied at boot. WickedDaze gave you great advice though about going to his website and check out the information there. It will break everything down for you and help you achieve optimal results for your phone.

I think the app works great, plus it comes with 3 widgets including a quick restart.

AutoKiller apps - Prons vs Cons

I don't know very well in deep Android os, I'm wondering if the apps that automatic close unused process can help the phone and the battery or only damage the normal kernel work.

NO. Don't use auto task killers. Please.
If you MUST know whats running, use something like WatchDog, which lets you keep an eye on wary tasks, but doesn't kill anything unless you specifically say so. Although you can do this manually with the built-in Android one, WatchDog gives you extra tools to use.
Task Killers have been horribly misused and not at all required since Android 2.2.

Nay on task killer. Android does pretty well on it's own.

Auto killer isn't a task killer. It tweaks android's default values for killing tasks.
This is the only "task killer" I would say doesn't hurt the system itself.

Check the dev options in settings. You can adjust some of the settings there.

Yes. Let's go "optimizing" the system by killing tasks and tweaking system thresholds without any metrics what so ever, besides saying "it feels smoother" (after a full reboot with no new apps loaded, but lets not mention that. it sounds less awesome).
That sounds all so very scientific and I am all for it.

Umm...there are a number of programs in the Market that can show you cache hits and page faults, etc. It's not that hard to get some measurements for what effects these tweaks are having.

Dont use your phone....oh wait..

[APP] Greenify *ROOT*

Hey guys I have found this amazing app on the play store, and I would like to share it with you. To go to the original thread click here.
Its basically a freezing app like titanium backup However, it is much more convenient as it unfreezes the app when you enter it. :good:
oasisfeng said:
No more envy of your friends' iPhone which never become slow and battery hungry after lots of apps installed. With Greenify, your Android device can also run almost as smooth and lasting as the first day you have it!
Greenify help you identify and put the bad behaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, stop them from battery leeching, memory hogging and stealthy running, in an elegant and unique way! They could do nothing without your explicit launch, while still have full functionality when running in foreground. Like what iOS apps act!
The built-in App Analyzer will analyze and show apps in your device that keep running persistent services and those launch itself automatically on a regular basis (when network connectivity changes, or every time you unlock your device, install / uninstall / update your apps, etc).
ROOT is required. If you are experiencing hibernation issue, this may be caused by your root management app (e.g. "SuperUser"), please try installing "SuperSU" instead.
Compared to other popular tools aimed for the similar purpose, Greenify give you the unique experience:
◆ Unlike the "Freeze" feature in "TitaniumBackup Pro" that totally disable your app, you can still use your app as usual, share content with it, without major uncomfortable impact on user experience. Greenify is nearly transparent! Set and forget~
◆ Unlike "App Quarantine", you can launch greenified apps in any way as usual. No more crafted app-launch widgets, no more manual disabling.
◆ Unlike "Autostarts", you can benefit almost all its advantages, but never need to deal with the complexity and risk of obscurely named app components, and never lose functionality when app is actively running.
◆ Unlike any "XXX Task Killer", your device never fall into the cat-mouse-game of stealthy-running and aggressive killing, which unnecessarily consumes much battery juice. Since all greenified apps will be put into hibernation until the next time you launch them, there is no need to "kill" them during the hibernation.
As the bottom line, Greenify do need a background persistent "Cleaner" service to put the greenified apps back into hibernation when you are not actively using them. It is designed and implemented in extremely light-weight, with an average RAM footprint at 2M in total, and nearly zero CPU and battery consumption.
IMPORTANT: Greenifying an app implies that you are aware that all the background functionality of this app will become out of service during the hibernation except when you are using this app. The background functionality includes but not limited to:
* Persistent background services
* Broadcast receivers, which respond to global device events, such as network state change, SMS reception.
* Alarms, which activate background task at specific time or interval.
* Widget update. Widget should display but never update because periodic update involves background task.
* Push messages. Push is also disabled since it would activate background task on Android, unlike iOS which just shows up messages to user.
Please DO NOT greenify alarm clock apps, instant messaging apps unless you never rely on them. Please be sure to verify the impact of greenified apps on which you heavily relies.

it is possible but not all features can be implemented. If only someone(like me who wants to bake) had a good internet plan to download those huge sources to bake the rom.

performance apps and tricks that will speed up your Android
1.Android assistant​Android AssistantWith downloads in the 10 to 50 million ballpark,Android Assistant(AA) has managed to score an impressive 4.6 stars! If anything, the non-flashy, conservative interface should be nothing less than an indication that this is a timeless collection of tools that just works. Keeping track of what's important, the first tab features the coveted Quick Boost button. Alike many other similar applications, AA will flush all the unneeded processes and services down the drain, leaving more juice for you to play with. Under the Process tab, you'll get more of an in-depth view of what's running on your system -- killing those is within the tools AA offers, but this is only a temporary solution (more on this later). The other, more important tool, is the System Cleaner, which allows you to free up space by wiping the cache of apps, the web and other. Keep in mind that you're better off keeping the cache of apps that you use daily -- wiping it will actually slow down their launch time in consequence..
2.Seeder
​. Most of the Android userare not aware of this apps. This single app can significantly improvethe stability, and smoothness of the device to good extent. It makes apps switching very smooth, overall User interface will be lagfree, and you can own feel it. This is a paid apps but worth all the money. Remember, this application do not improve the performance but instead make it very smooth, and stable.It ends this of someuseful root applications. If you have your favorite app, then let us know. Use them wisely to improve, and enhance the usabilityof phone, and for high performance too.​3.NOMone Resolution changer app​. NOMone Resolution Changer is a great app that allows users to decrease their device’s resolution to get a better framerate and increase the overall gaming performance of a rooted device. Now, I know that veteran Android developers can achieve the same result on any rooted Android device with the help of a terminal but let’s face it, not all of us are that tech savvy.The GUI of the app is real simple and doesn’t take much to get used to. You can experiment with the resolutions with ease and choose the one which provides the perfect balance between graphic quality and gaming performance.​Performance of the Android Can also Be improved by Running Various SCRIPTS

Good idea...nd waiting
