Ok so I have the cm10-20120924 ROM(I believe that's the one) on a sgs3 i535. I've always had that watchdog app to tell me what apps are running in the background and which apps are using however much CPU %. All of a sudden the watchdog app says "android media process above threshold.". Now what I'm curious about is what exactly is making it say that to me because I keep killing the "android media proces" and yet it continues to show up on the watchdog app. Is there a safe task killer to use? No task killer better... I'm a noob so please bare with me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

I just updated to the newest Froyo release, and now TaskPanel X is not showing up in the market. I was just using it with a previous Froyo release, so it should work just fine on this release. Could someone please post a link to it here?
I like TaskPanel X the best of all of the app killers because it has the option to kill certain apps when you press the power button and put your DInc in sleep mode. Besides the app "Advanced Task Killer", does anyone know of another app that does this well?
Based on what I've read and what I've heard others say online I wouldn't use a task killer at all. Google it, you'll find quite a bit on the subject.
What I would recommend is SystemPanel to monitor things and see if any apps actually need to be killed.

I know... I've read about how killing apps can cause system instability due to removing dependencies, etc. The main thing I use TaskPanel X for is all of the non-system apps so my phone can sleep. Can someone grab it for me please?
I also use taskpanel x. I installed it from appbrain.com. You can push apps to your phone from the website even if they aren't in the marketplace for you.

Thank you!!
So is TaskPanel X not showing up for anyone else who installed the latest Froyo release? Or, does anyone know why this is happening?

Not a problem, I'm glad I could finally help someone.
Hey guys is there a task killer that kills a task after a certain amount of time or when a timer asks? Reason I'm asking, is because I'm want to listen to the radio before I sleep, and I want it to end like after a certain time. If you guys can suggest a radio that can do that as well, that would be great.
Thanks in Advance

In the past I remember having some kind of app or software on my phone that stopped whatever apps I wanted from updating or using any data at all. It's possible it could have been a feature of a ROM and not an actual app but I just for the life of me can't remember. Does anyone have any idea what I was using? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
There's apps that do that in the Market, like Droid Wall. Also, MIUI includes that feature.
Droid Wall! That's what it was. Thanks for the info. +1 to you good sir.
Yes guys...! Finally problem is solved guys. I got one paid app on market 'ram manager' which has special features to control ur ram. Especially it has option for multitasking with non killing apps. Means u can now multitask & still ur apps will run in background until you choose it to close. I have tested it since 1 hour. I have opened gallary, ucbrowser, opera mobile & go launcher (above mentioned every app is so much ram hungry app). And I am amazed that even after 1 hour all apps are still opened. Its really so amazing guys Really its a worth app.
Here is link of that app.

I am really fed up of this problem. I surf alot xda using opera. Opera mobile nearly take 30-40 mb ram. So for me I get nearly 130-140 mb free ram. But even though when I try to open some other apps then automatically android closes opera. So I have to reopen it. No problem in re-opening an app but then it start to load links which I have been surfing which really annoying me ::
I want simple multi tasking like nokia which keep open every app until u choose it to close it. I am really impressed with multi tasking of nokia.
Can anybody provide a solution, app or script or anything which will KEEP APP IN OPEN STATE until I choose it to close it ?? I searched on net. I found same complaints on net related to android muti tasking...!!! I dont use any task killer app.

sorry problem is not browser. Problem is how android handles multi tasking. I just want that android should not close app without our permission like in nokia. But in android it close app without let u know.

try this. I don't know if it's only the paid version that allows exempting, but it's worth a shot. once you go into the processes, you can click the browser specifically and click to change it from "excluded (no)" to "excluded (yes)". this should make it exempt from android's method of memory recovery (not a task killer app)
Are you using this? Try disabling it and see what happens.
You can do it from terminal emulator:
Code:
su
chmod -x /system/etc/init.d/S95allinone
and if you want to re-enable it:
Code:
su
chmod +x /system/etc/init.d/S95allinone
(reboot your phone of course)
I had the same ques initially

Thanks man. Just what i was looking for.
Q
Sorry to bump an old thread, but has anyone actually found a solution to this problem? I've tried supercharger, minfree manager, RAM manager pro, and Galaxy Tuner. None have proven to be an actual solution to the problem that seems to be baked right in to the heart of all versions of Android after eclair.
Is this at all fixable?

Sorry I forgot to follow up, a solution has been found after many hours of searching: using the "Xposed app settings" add-in for the Xposed Framework will let you whitelist applications from Android's "banhammer of destruction" and it works particularly well on devices with little free ram.

I have j7 pro which is known for ram management issues and this did not help. In fact I believe these apps get kiled by android as well!

If you had read the thread, you'd see that I already shared that Xposed App Settings is the only solution.
What's the difference between HTC 'Task Manager' and 'Running Services' Under Application in Settings?
I get the general difference between a task and a service. But is the Ram allocated separately for user and the system?
The Task Manager shows 100mb free while the Running Services in Application shows 229mb.
Which should I trust? And how to free up more ram in task manager? It shows not running app currently, and I just disabled a ton of services from auto startup. Things I dont need.
RAM cannot be increased

@fash1 try using the link I mentioned above .......... It increased my system's ram & speed
Using swap for this phone is useless. This kind of apps are great if you have 256 mb's or below, for pico it is even possible to make it slower than it is now

Dude please change the thread name. It will mislead most of the forum members.
Make it How to increase available system RAM?
Ok now I get what is the idea.
Now there is huuuuge possibility that I'm totally wrong about this but anyway.........
Firstly running services should show, what is currently running and how much ram is free, the task manager should show running services AND cached processes, from there comes the difference.With some kind of task manager you should be able to stop unneeded stuff, or some kind of cleaner (fast reboot for example). If you are using a CM rom in 'developer options' there is 'background process limit' option, so it should do the trick.

Yay! Thanks
And yes the topic was rather misleading. And I am not even on stock. It was just something I was wondering. Guess HTC does not show the processes it needs to keep the ui running. While rebooter and estaskmanager kills all processes in the memory then relaunches the launcher and everything when needed.

Nah... It should be, 'Difference between HTC task manager and process manager' maybe.
I am a noob, but not that much a noob to not even know how to boost available memory
