Is it true that all task managers mess up your apps and make them stop working and have force closes and stuff like that? Cuz I like depend greatly on my task manager to help my battery and if so my battery is f-ed

Don't use task managers, they don't make your battery last longer, instead they cause more battery to be used.
Download WatchDog instead, it checks how much CPU is being used by what app, if you feel like you mist manage some apps. I use it when my phone lags.

Droid Overclock is an app I ran across on the Market today with all sorts of nice features.
It may have been out for awile, I just didnt see it.
It costs $1.50. Very Nice App
Looks like it does alot more then setcpu
Oh yeah, I bought this app when I had my d2. Wasn't sure if it supported the incredible though and I just use the built in overclocking in CM.
Its a sweet app though and jrummy did a nice job with the interface.

Makes your processor operate at a faster speed, speeding up your phone. It kills your battery faster though.

Actually (What effects screen brightness and OC CPU have on battery) speeding up your cpu doesn't effect that battery as much as you think its very minimal. So overclock all you want
Does it harm your phone in any way?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using XDA App
This actually looks a lot better than SetCPU. I like it.
If you overclock too high, to a incompatible setting, the phone will just go into a loop mode. The setting won't be stable.. it errors itself and can't correct it. So you need to scale it back down. Sorry if I don't know all the terms and such.. dinc's are fast just to begin with. I oc'd so I could try and get better benchmark scores. It worked and the phone was stable to where i could use it all the time problem free. I managed to get scores I could be.. once that happened I stopped clocking up, and started scaling back. Undervolting the system with a different kernel / governer setting will yield you the best battery life..

I just installed the latest leak.. KH2 .. I normally used an app killer(rechild's) with my last froyo rom... is it necessary in GB? I just did the ext4 and installed the leaked KH2... can't believe how fast it is now.. it's like a new phone!
EDIT: Used to use the task killer, but not anymore. Refer to post #4.
You should google this but task killers are bad for froyo and GB
Just an update on using task killers. I've been getting random shutdowns whenever I used my task killer, so I've recently completely stopped using it on GB. I've always used it on Froyo, but if I were to ever go back, I won't be using it either.
I'm proud to report that my phone is no longer shutting down! It's been two days so far, and I've gone without shutting down. I normally have reboot at least twice a day.
After some reading, I've realized that task killers are actually useless to Android, since it's Linux based, not Windows. After using an app, Android caches the process, which uses up the memory in case if you open it up again. However, if you leave it alone for a while, Android will end the task. Whenever it needs to use more memory, it'll free it up by ending any tasks that are not being used.
I used to not believe that, since I would notice a big difference whenever I cleared RAM on Froyo. However, now that I'm on GB, I really see no difference.
To sum it all up: Task killers = no!
I agree. Don't use task killers. Will only cause problems, especially on custom roms, which are already tweaked

Back when I was using my Huawei U8100 I used task killers frequently.
But now with my SGS 4G I never use it, there is just so much memory in the device. Samsung included a Task Manager, but I never use it.
Its odd im hearing how bad task killers are ive used it the whole time and have never had an issue with it or any custom roms...possibly luck of the draw

No point in using task killers
Task killers main goal is to close un-used/un-wanted apps or programs
What if the app/program needs to stay open?
Well running gb fixes all that! O_O
Running gb uses less ram
Background apps/programs stay running but doesnt waste battery life nor ram
All in all gb clears up all the unnecessary clutter that 1.5 -2.3 versions had
Hope that sums it up =)

Eh, I wouldn't say GB uses less RAM, cause it only leaves me with 80 MB RAM most of the time. Whenever I run games, my launcher mostly has to close because the games use too much RAM. I've set it to system persistent, and it still doesn't work. I guess the launcher is the only thing that could be killed? *shrug*
Also, your picture is VERY cute, haha. Nu kitty ftw!
are those memory optimizers taskmanagers booster and apps like this recommended for my SGS3? do they really work better than the clean memory button on androids task manager?
is it worth it to install apps like this? I noticed that since using the gotaskmanager Ex when running many apps it crashes and does like fast restart or something like that.
opinion and suggestions pls
thanks

use lmk along with the thunderbolt script by pikachu001
i choose 100 mb on my samsung galaxy gio, so what it does it when you have less than 100mb free memory left, it automatically kills unused background processes, but you need root

Why don't you just root it?
I rooted mine the first boot...
There is an app that resets the flash counter and you don't lose warranty!
After you root it search supercharger script and get it running mate...
Your S3 WILL fly after that!
ROOT that sucker!!!

For this of tasks root is a must.
Another interesting app (need root too) it's autokiller memory optimizer.

Thats right bro' if you use Zeppelinrox v6 supercharger you will amaze on how fast will become your phone. For instance, you can set wich apps will stay open (like phone, sms, media and so on) so when want to use it it will open always fast, instantly! And that apply to your homescreen launcher too!

I just flashed my phone with CoreDroid 3.5 and so far it's been great. One thing I did notice is that the task manager is very aggressive and would close programs a lot sooner/quicker than the default rom/virtuous unity/ARHD. Is there a way to make it less aggressive without having to flash a different rom?
Thanks!
An easy fix might be v6 supercharger. Use the least agressive settings.
There is also Auto Memory Manager.
Either should do.

Ever since I upgraded to ICS, RAM consumption is high in my atrix2. It used to have free RAM around 300 to 350 MB but now in ICS the fee RAM is always around 150 to 200 MB.
I am having same apps which I used to have on GB. Nothing changed on my phone. Can anybody advice me whats wrong with my phone?
Ex. Games like Temple Run are little bit sluggish in ICS whereas it was running smoothly in GB even though I had some apps in the background. Now in ICS it is sluggish even though there no other apps running in the background.

Android has its own task manager, which is quite sufficient. What people don't seem to understand about RAM, is that it is meant to be used, not the other way around. Android, like Mac OS and Ubuntu, wants to use all the RAM it can, because that's how it was designed to work. There are settings (in Android we call them "minfree" settings) to tell the system how much RAM to leave free and available, but the rest is designed to fill up as fast as possible and stay that way.
Android can manage memory rather well (and the settings are still there to tweak if you just have to touch stuff) and having up to 300 percent more RAM makes a huge difference. There will be a few times where killing off a handful of tasks will speed things up, but overall you'll get the best performance out of your phone or tablet if you stop worrying about it and let Android be Android. If you need to live on the edge (and I know a lot of you guys do) root and hack your phone with some amazing custom ROM that has everything tweaked and allows you to travel forward in time -- I'm right there with ya, 'cause it's fun as hell.
But don't worry about how many apps are running on your phone, or about using widgets that tell you these things, because it just doesn't matter anymore.

Long press home button, it will appear. Swipe to close apps.
Try with debugging mode enabled along with force GPU rendering from settings...
Task managers/killers are completely useless in android.The only use of task killers is when a rogue app keeps running in background consuming lots of CPU cycles.
After the ics update my phone too was a bit slow but then I factory reset it & then wiped the cache partition. I don't know what did the trick but it works great now.

Go to development, background applications, at most 4.
This way lag will stop.
