Is there an application that prevents apps from closing in android gingerbread? I know there is an option in zdbox but I'm looking for a single an rather than a multiple use application. Thanks
I was looking for the same app, without success...

I have a few widgets/apps that seem to clear the cache and stop apps and processes from running, but then when I click the same app/widget again and I see that it closed the same number of apps again..
So that tells me that these apps aren't really killing the processes.
Is there an app that I should try that you guys could recommend?
I suspect you are trying to kill processes which are automatically restarted when you do so. There is nothing wrong with having your phone manage its own resources.
I think that this explains your question ...

I noticed that Facebook remains in memory even after you close it or not it ever opened.
There is a patch to close it completely or do not open automatically?

It's not only the Facebook app, many apps do the same. They start up at boot or other actions. They either remain running (as a service or otherwise) too keep you up to date (notification).
Other than uninstalling, you can use a tool like System Tuner. I think you need root for this. In its task manager, select a process, then scroll the list on the right side down to Receivers. Uncheck the triggers you want to disable. This can potentially render your app unusable, so be careful what you disable.
An alternative, if you do not use the app, but still keep it or cannot install it (useful for apps that came with your ROM) is to freeze them.

This might be kind of a hassle.
If you tap on the recent apps list.
Long tap the Facebook app it will give 2 options.
1 is remove from list
2 is app info
Tap app info
Then force close
Some say swiping from the recent apps list closes the service.
I don't believe it does.
At least this may be a way to shut Fbook down.
There's a lot of info about closing down applications on the Google Android developer blogs.

Thanks for the reply. My TF700 is root!
The application I would not freeze it because sometimes I use it.
Try system tuner
HI all,
Not too sure what to ask here,
I want to know if there is an app that will allow me to pick which apps i want to stay in memory.
In other words, stop apps from running or restarting, unless I open them, and to kill them when Im done.
Ive tried a few apps, but none seem to actually stop the app from restarting.
Running SGS i9000 Gamerzrom JB 4.2 Root
Titanium Backup Pro
Try titanium back up pro, it has the feature to convert downloaded apps to a system app. Apps converted to system app won't be killed and should keep it from restarting. For more info, search about titanium backup and converting apps to system apps.
Try using 'All in One Toolbox and go to Startup options where you can configure which apps can start on boot(needs root). You can also uninstall apps from it. It is as its name does many things and alos has a nice Home Screen widget for quick access. Try it.
Sorry forgot to mention ive been using ZDBox all in one, it has a task killer in it too.
Hard to elaborate what im looking for.
Put it this way, I want everything to stay closed until I use it, and once im done using it, for it to close and stay closed again.
Killing at startup only works on startup. If the app is set to restart then thats a wasted feature.
I dont really want to change an app into a system app as that will keep it running when the system allows it to.
Any other suggestions? there has to be an app out there that developers or memory attentive users, are using to keep their memory and cpu free.
Hello, is there a app for android that can make certain apps uncloseable?
The thing is, I need a app, that will not allow a certain app to close without entering a password to close it, is that possible, and if it is, is there a app like that around?
I've read that it's not necessary to use a task manager and kill processes/programmes as Android manages itself fine.
But what about sliding out the recent apps list? What does it do and is it good/bad doing it?
Don't know if it matters but I've got Android 4.4.4.

The recent apps is a way of multitasking on Android devices, this new feature was introduced in Honeycomb and was later improved in newer Android versions.
The purpose of this said feature as said before is to help a user multitask. So if you're browsing the internet and have a specific page up. A minute or so later you get a message so you open the messaging app and make a reply. But now you want to go back to the same app you were one earlier without having to restart, reload or wait for the content to appear.
When sliding a specific app (task) from the recent apps menu, you're basically killing the app. (Removing it from the multitasking menu, it reduces ram consumption as the process for that app has now been shut down or limited. For example if you kill a messaging app, it runs a background service so you can receive messages. When you have the app open or running in the background it opens a new process, when you slide the app away you're removing the background process for it but you're not disabling the server process. (So you will still get messages).
In short form, when you slide an app away from the recent menu, you're killing the apps process. This is good when you don't need or you are not using the app. So if you have you don't need to multitask with a specific app, remove it from the menu and it'll restore ram so it speeds up your device.
Hopefully I helped, if there was something you didn't quite understand. Let me know and I'll try and explain it furthermore.
