Is there some taskmanager app that would keep apps such as setCPU etc running rather than shutting down after a while.
Also, when I "lock" the app in the default task manager and push close all, also the locked app closes, but the card in the manager stays though.
I'm sure there is a simple answer but google did not help me or then I'm just really bad in making queries.. :angel:

I'm new to these forums and android and I've got a few questions about apps running and opening in the background. I'm running a samsung captivate i896 rooted with the ryanza lag fix.
First I've noticed that some apps that I haven't opened appear in the app 'advanced task killer'. However when I use the 'task manager' app that comes preinstalled on the phone, those apps do not show up. The only apps that show up on this app are the ones that I explicitly open. Do these apps that open by themselves effect the battery life and if so is there anyway I can prevent these apps from opening?

Yes it does. Certainly it will effect your battery life because of stuff running around in the background. Try looking for start-up manager and you can prevent them from opening. Not sure if it is really useful though. Because usually when that app start, they have some task to do like updating then they will lie dormant in the memory.
I'm using Widget Locker. Nice app. However it's annoying me because its process not running in the back ground (like system files) but instead running like an app. So everytimes I go to "task manager" to clear running app in the background. I can't just clear all to save my baterry. It will close Widget Locker (i have manually close one by one app). Is there a way to integrate it to system files so I won't see it in the "Task Manager".
Hope you understand what i'm trying to say

Try an app from the market called Watchdog. It is a really good app that lets you real time see processes and cpu usage and it will alert you on thresh holds of over usage. You can individually kill those processes which may be inadvertently over using your phone and eating up your battery. Task killers just blanketly kill apps and processes. Some of which restart right back up chewing up you cpu and also wasting precious battery. So doing this continuously will just overwork and kill your usage time on the phone. If you precisely pinpoint the app causing issues you can leave the phone to manage the application as it is designed to do and also you may notice other regularly used apps opening quicker and more responsive. Give it a try and keep us posted.

I'm using Go Launcher. It has a built in task manager that also allows you to lock app so you don't close them by accident. Have my Widget Locker app Locked. Hope this helps also. And I think this should be in the Q&A Section.

Hi
Is there a way to add an app to an ignore list for the stock task manager?
Thanks.
I'm fairly certain that answer is no. I relied on the stock Task Manager for the longest time(i still use it now, just not primarily) and I never found out how to add an exception, I even posted a thread here asking the very same question and got no reply, which led me to believe others didn't know how to add exceptions either. Just download GO Launcher EX and give that a shot. I can never go back to the ****ty stock TW Launcher after trying it, plus it has a built in Task Manager where you can easily lock an app so it will never be closed by the "Kill all tasks" option and can only be killed by manually clicking it and hitting close.
If you use Go Launcher you can go into the option that says choose locked apps so it wont kill apps when you hit close all apps. Is that kinda like what you want? Dont use Task Killer as most say not to use it anyhow. Go Launcher you can see what is running and close all or just some,see recent looked at or all apps.
Hi guys,
I've been searching for a couple of hours now for a free app that is able to launch frozen apps from the home screen with a shortcut or something. The best i have found is 'hide apps - root' or 'HMA' as the icon says. It is able to launch the frozen app then rehide it after use. I just wanted to know if there is an app like this one so that i can put a shortcut on my home screen and launch it from there instead of opening the app, finding the frozen app then launching it.
Just so you don't think i'm up to no good, it is for some apps that use memory in the background no matter what setting i choose in the apps themselves
Thanks

Basically no. I'm surprised there is even an app that will unfreeze, run the app, and refreeze afterwards. Once its frozen its equivalent to uninstall it, therefore a shortcut is not possible.
What is the full app name available for download from the market (Google play)? Maybe I can research it and find a way to make custom shortcuts for your needs.
The app is by the maker of 'root unistaller' (which also is able to launch frozen apps) and is called hide app - root, its just a trial. Hide it pro is also able to do it
That would be great if you could have a look. I don't have that much of an idea on how to do that

I'm also very surprised that such an application exists. Doesn't such a thing require a reboot since freezing an app removes all associations between the app and the system?
what about Autostarts, Its an app that you pick which apps you want to start automatically.
i dont know how freezing works but i dont think it changes much in the file system.
i was looking around with root explorer in data/app and my frozen apps were still in there. and they also appear in the setting/applications just a bit fainter than the rest.
Not really the right kind of app. i want one to launch frozen apps, not see what apps are auto starting, but that app might help speed up my phone thanks
Titanium Backup has the ability to frozen the app. You can make an shortcut to titanium backup, that you can switch from frozen to unfrozen.
But it`s not automatically :-/
