What's the best way at the moment to close all background apps?
At the moment I have to swipe each one individually.
What are all of you using? Homescreen widget? Another memory manager?
Try an app called "Greenify" in the play store. It is amazing. Also, there is a 1x1 widget to hibernate all background apps (you make the list with the app.
If you like it click thanks.

I like the concept of the program monitor because I can see if left anything running. I'm obsessed with closing apps when I'm not using them.
What I dont like about it is that it needlessly takes up 2x1 units of space. Is there a good 1x1 widget that does the same thing? I dont want to have to enter a task killer just to see the list of running apps, I just want a number in a widget that shows how many... If it's not 0 I can click it.
hi
Systempanel bij nextapp must have!
That app's not bad. But the widget part is butt ugly and just allows you to kill everything. It's close to what I want but I like the the program monitor's number of foreground apps displayed.
Visual Task Switcher is not perfect but sorta gives me what I want but extending the home menu functionality and showing active windows as popups.

Unfortunately, only the beta available for try now. The ads supported version should be available soon.
Search for active apps on xda and you will find one.
Some apps, like filemanager.apk or videoplayer.apk, are not shown in the app drawer ,is there a way to launch them?
Which launcher are you using?
If they show up under application manager, sometimes you can link them to a shortcut using "Bettercut".
I don't use a launcher and I can't link them with bettercut
Well this is more of a work-around but how about installing an alternative file manager like Adao File Manager? That one should definitely show up in the app drawer
Wouldn't know of a video player, though.
That was my point, NOT to install more apps when there are already installed
Android being Linux can I start an app from terminal? What is the command?
I've seen conflicting reports on IF it in fact closes the application by swiping it away in the app switcher.
Can someone clear it up with some kind of evidence?
According to TaskKiller, it does. Open TaskKiller and then swipe away apps from the ICS running apps list. They also disappear from the TaskKiller pane.
What I'm saying is that it *does* close apps, but not all running apps are always located in that list. If an app opens in the background, it won't display in that list.
I'm looking for an sms widget that allows you to write a reply in the actual widget without opening a new window.
I'm using wave launcher to temporarily open widgets on top of whatever I have open at the time, go sms widget almost had it with a small pop up window that opened over most apps but it still shut down Thd games when I tried to right an sms.
Anyone know of anything like this?
Try SMS Popup from Google Play

Sms pop up seems great but I'm really after a widget. Basically a widget that does the same function as sms pop up, that way I can open the widget when I want to reply rather than as soon as I get the text.
You can download the GO SMS app from the playstore,it's free and the widget allows you to do what you want,also you could also download the Go Launcher,personaly i think it's a little better than the wave launcher.
Go sms doesn't work for this purpose because you can't write text in the actual widget, instead a pop up window appears, this pop up closes Thd games that are running.
Also wave launcher is not a home launcher like go launcher (I'm currently using apex launcher) its a app/shortcut/widget task manager similar to swipepad, which I'm using to view and interact with widgets on top of whatever app I'm running.

The Google Keep widget is great, but is there a way to, say, check off lists or edit memos right in the widget without first opening the app? Perhaps a 3rd party app?
TIA!
