Hi!
My problem is this: I know that people can keep more of 2 apps in cache or background for example: facebook and browser. That is my problem.
For example:
I m typing on facebook about sth. and i opened a link for see in the browser, Ok. Problem is when I wanna back to facebook this is rebooting again. Is like if I had never opened the app
I have a question
You can open Real Racing and the Browser at the same time? If any of the two apps are closing in background? Thanks
Sorry for mistakes
Thanks in advance
Please anyone have idea or somebody is happening that problem?
That problem is disgusting and I don't know how resolve it

Maybe you have too many apps installed that are running in background and eating your RAM. If you're rooted try to hibernate unnecessary apps using greenify

check in settings - developer options if you have unchecked "dont keep activities" and set "background process limit" to standart

Hi there, to achieve it, you have to do these;
1. Press Menu
2. Go to Setting
3. Go to Applications
4. Go to Manage Applications
5. Select the launcher you want to clear the default.
6. Press the setting that says "clear default".
7. Press the home key and you will be presented with a pop-up menu to select which launcher you want to use.
8. If you tick set as default while in the pop-up.menu, the next time you press the home key, you will go straight to that launcher.
9. If you didn't tick the set as default, you will be presented pop-up menu everytime you press the home key.
Please try and post feedback.
Regards and TQ,
Morisa

Legend thanks very much.
Is there any way to alter touchwiz in a similar fashion to ADW or GO?
Like extra columns / rows etc?

Hi senectus,
I didn't use TouchWiz and am sorry for not be able to assist you there. I am on Go Launcher. I like it and suit my needs.

TW isnt as customizable as any third party launcher...
what i always do after installing my preferred Launcher is to freeze the TW via Titanium backup and then reboot...
That sounds interesting.
What's "freeze touchwiz" mean?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
you have to install titanium backup from the market, let it initialize then have it with root access, find the TWlauncher file from of isntalled apps, long press then choos
e "freeze"... why? so that it wont create conflict to the system specially when you have other launcher installed. if you want to revert back to stock Touchwiz, you can always unfreeze it...
Thats interesting.
I haven't heard of that before.
Do you think it would improve performance or battery life doing that?
What happens when you install the other launcher and tw is "frozen"?

Uninstalled I mean

another option is to try "AutoStarts" and prevent TWL from launching. i did that and it seems to be working (previously some apps still ask which launcher i want to open, despite setting the default one already)
AutoStarts also helps in stopping unwanted apps from starting at boot, even system ones (i hope this is what it does, and not just kills them, although i notice more ram after booting for a while than previously)
I have advance task killer and I close apps frequently through out the day. For some strange reason there are 30+ apps running when I'm only using 10 of at the most or a little more. How can I keep them from opening after they have been terminated???
My S3 is starting to move slow and I don't like it One bit!!!
One of the cardinal rules of Android is to never use a task killer......
As you have found out, the apps just open again anyway & all that open/closing will absolutely kill your battery life.

Don't use a task killer, especially on Froyo and above.
Task killers are totally counter-productive in Android.
Android does a great job of memory management all by itself, just let it do its thing & don't worry about it.
Never use ATK. Wastes more battery then the apps themselves.
As everyone else has said, using a task killer makes things worse, not better.
What everyone has said about not using task killer plus, exit apps using the back button and not home if you want to close them. That way they will exit rather than stay in memory. Also, if you really want to dump everything out of memory then hold in home>task manager>end all.
And it's moving slowly since the task killer kills the app so the app relanches itself. Killed, relaunch, killed relaunch, killed relanch. Now multiply that by 10 or 20 or 30 apps and it's a wonder your CPUand RAM haven't melted yet.
There's a stock option in 'settings-developer settings' to limit background processes. Also to kill any app you leave right away.

I have an app called Eva which is a voice assistant. I believe ics is sometimes closing the app when its in the background, because the widget for the app is not responsive and has no text sometimes and works fine other times. I don't know of anyway in ics to set an exception in the task management to never close this app or its background process. Any way to get around this without a 3rd party task killer? Or is there any way to see a log of what ics is killing in the background to confirm my suspicion?

I'm basically purging all the useless applications i'll never use from a fresh install of CyanogenMod 10.1 Jellybean 4.2.2 and I can't find the .apk anywhere in the app folder. Does anyone know what the .apk is called so I can remove this garbage please?
Thanks.

Don't worry about finding the APK. You can unistall it using Titanium Backup or System Tuner or any of 100 similar apps to unistall it. In those options it will appear in the App list as Movie Studio and not whatever goofy name the APK file has.
You can also freeze it in the Manager Apps section of the settings. That won't delete it but will disable it competely.
Cool thanks. So far all i've done is go into Settings -> Launcher -> Drawer -> Hidden Apps and basically ticked that, will that do for the time being? Also, is Titanium Backup free and can I get it of the Marketplace?
Thanks.

No hiding it only removes it from the app drawer. It may still be running in the background.
There is a free version of titanium on the play store...using it you can uninstall or disable any app.
Hope that helps

That is 100% wrong. I just personally confirmed it. Disabling an app in the settings menu formally freezes it and makes it completely unable to run in any capacity until it is unfrozen.
Please don't post something as a fact unless you are certain its a fact. Posting wrong information will confuse new users and others searching for help later.

So am I alright keeping the method I used to hide it? Will that stop it from running in the background etc.? or do I still need Titanium Backup to remove it?
Thanks.
Disabling the app will render the app unusable until you re-enable the app. If you need to use the app sometimes then I would try the app greenify from the play market. Greenify simply hibernates the app.

Hey guys, just a little sharing. My Note 3 power drained quickly somehow even when wifi , GPS and bluetooth are turned off.
Today I turned off the account setting, Google+ and location sharing in Google setting, it did save a lot power! Before 100% battery lasted 6 hours only, now it lasts double! Check whether you have disabled the Google location sharing now, it really works!
After doing this, are you still able to use touchwiz weather auto update>?

My GPS and location are off and my TW weather won't auto update, I have to connect to WiFi and manually update it. (I was aware that is how this worked though from my S3 previously)
yeah thats the problem. Manually updating weather is annoying.
You can leave wireless networks ticked in location services and it'll update the weather app for you.

If you're rooted, install trickster mod from the play store.
Tap the "app ops" button.

Profit.

You do not need to be rooted for this...
There's an app on the play store to do exactly this... I use it on my non rooted device without any problem

Hi All,
Most people are looking for apps to kill other apps when they are running - I'm actually looking for the opposite. Phone keeps killing apps to free up some RAM here and there, and some of the apps to not restart themselves. Are there any good apps out there that can be used to monitor specific apps and restart them if they are killed by the system?
Thanks!

Or Xposed plus the app settings module. You can force apps to stay in memory so they won't be killed.

I'm not sure about Rom Toolbox Lite but the Pro version lets you add apps to the exclude list for task manager so those apps don't get killed.
