Can someone tell me if there's a to automatically clear running apps in background and memory that's good? Also is there a app to get rid of all the bloatware on a galaxy S2?
Thanks
Android os handles the memory well on its own, you don't wanna use task killers.
For freezing or uninstalling bloat you can use titanium backup

You need to read over the stickies and do some Google searching. I don't know what you mean by text when your phone is locked

As far as SMS I'm talking about like handscent or something? And no one has answered my question with the other apps I mentioned. Do I need all of them or just one etc..

one, each person named a different app that will do the job. titanium backup, root uninstaller pro, ROM toolbox, system tuner, all good choices (u only need ONE of the above). that answer clear?
for SMS, the stock default app will work, handcent is good, I personally use a slightly older version of gosms as the new one is bloated.

If you are rooted and have Titanium Backup, simply freeze it.. I did when I first got my SR back in November and haven't had a problem.
I use bloat freezer free. Allows you to scroll through all apps and shows which are running( including system apps that are hidden) I freeze tethering manager to allow use if native AP app and freeze bloat

LOL crazy!
But seriously why is your phone not rooted?? It's free easy and makes your phone so much more usable.
I was getting some force close when trying to read a pm in tapatalk..so I uninstalled tapatalk & xda..then there was an update for titanium,,at that point the phone seemed to hang, so I rebooted the phone and then it would give me multiple force close of just about every app..keyboard force close etc...& some icons at the top of the screen that I have never seen before..ie a circular battery icon..
I was able to boot into rom manager..but not sure what to do next? Don't want to make it any worse..lol
What ROM?

A great reason for backups

Yeah, maybe... It seemed fine at first... Now just updating some 200+ apps Fortunately I had a CWM backup from a couple weeks ago....
But nothing worked on the phone... Thankfully I could get into recovery... Phew

Fixing force close issues
The best thing to do for force closes is to go into ROM Manager, scroll down to where you see "Fix Permissions" and run them. It fixes force close problems all the time for me

Thanks, but the phone was at the point where it was unusable... The only functionality was with the volume & power buttons... Lesson learned... Along with Titanium do a CWM backup weekly... It's amazing how much you can change on your phone, without realising it!

You wouldn't be able to replace the backup app without root. at least as far as i know.

system tuner
I use Titanium Backup, but only for user apps and SMS, never for any system apps/data.

Yea I'm leaning towards that. Just seeing if there's a one button user app back up button that'll do the same. What does the jelly bean backup backup? Apps? I'm running sky jb

What he (or she!) said.
System Tuner Pro, Titanium Backup Pro Key and AppMonster Pro all work quite well. I'm partial to System tuner and AppMonster, as TiBu often hangs and needs to be FC'ed to keep the process moving.

Try to use the titanium wiki . There are quite a few Youtube videos are available to help you out.

since this is the i777 forum, my guess would be that your section is not here. if you don't know what section is yours, you probably shouldn't be rooting and modding your phone.
sorry to be so harsh.

Not harsh at all. Following directions properly is the main ingredient for successful flashing or using apps that require root. Since restoring with TiBu across different ROMs can definitely mess up your phone if not done correctly, one needs to know exactly what they are doing. Not being able to find the correct forum is a bad omen.
Moving to a more appropriate thread...
Guys didn't wanna start a new thread and clog it up so ill ask here. With the new update a titanium backup, isn't it supposed to I have update zips that restore with data? when I restore through recovery after complete wipes, the app's install but there is no data. I was hoping that this zip would restored exactly the same as it would in normal restore processes. Example: SwiftKey needs setup again, all accounts need to be signed back in, etc
