out of curiosity, how do you remove apps from the app list, effectively stopping it?

It's not killing anything. Does anyone know why this thing isn't killing apps?
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
Because task killers don't work in 2.2 anymore?
Well, is there anything I can use to make these programs not start up unless I want them to?

Autostarts
Task killers aren't a good idea on Android, and autostarts only really decreases boot times.
So by having programs NOT start, that doesn't affect processor speed?

Dont install ATK if you updated to FROYO. MY EVO kept rebooting over and over. I had to take the battery out and do a hard reset.
Hey guys I just found a little problem with freezing the stock messaging app and using gosms. It seemed to happen only recently with no other changes but I couldn't receive any mms, but I could send them fine. Anyone else run into this?

Yes. You shouldn't freeze or uninstall the stock app. Just deactivate the notifications.

I'm pretty sure in the disabling option in GOSMS there's a message saying that it can cause instability issues with MMS.

So what is the problem? Just don't uninstall the stock SMS/mms and you'll be fine. The stock is part of android and is needed.

Just trying to save ram and bat lol

You don't need to save ram with android. If your using a task killer that's probably where your battery drain is coming from.
Read this and you'll understand a little better.

Oh no I definitely don't use a task killer. Only thing is the one that comes with the go launcher ex. Just more worried about ram. But I'll check out the article for sure. Thanks.

Worried about RAM? Why? Just curious. What exactly are you doing with your Infuse that you need to spend time worrying about RAM?

Oh nothing I just like to have the most out of the phone you know?
To each their own
So today I downloaded a variety of apps, from the market as well as from unknown sources. It seems like the battery is draining a little faster than normal, is there any way I could check if an app is causing this?
Also, this might sound stupid but do viruses/malware exist out there for Android phones and if so, how would I go about findng out whether or not my phone is potentially infected?
Thanks in advance.

Lmao. That was awesome.
HTC420, what ROM are you using? Stock or custom? If custom, what flavor? Many have a built in battery use feature that will tell you what percentage each app uses. The stock ROM might have even had that, though I haven't run it in ages. Dig around in Settings.

I was saying that maybe the gingerbread browser simply doesn't sync to chrome and the honeycomb one does.

Task killing with the newest versions of android is pointless. You can tweak multitasking to better suit either battery needs or overall performance or mix the two. Using a task killer is just silly now lol. Unless you're an Android expert (in the sense of understanding every process and how the apps work) then just let android handle tasks itself.

So basically, just keep all the apps running?
What if the device becomes sluggish because of so many apps open for so long?

By default it will kill apps when it needs more ram, you should back out of apps to kill em instead of home buttoning and leaving them in memory.
Plus most apps you kill will just restart them selves as some just run in the background

Which, could potentially cause more battery drain. Reloading apps all the time that you are killing. :what:
