Are Task killers useless now on froyo? most apps will reload after 5mins.
Search for "froyo task killer" on google and have a read. There are many more articles on the net which describe why you dont need a task killer on froyo.
im on cm7, does task killers work for gingerbread? i was using auto memory optimizer, didn't feel like it sped up anything
there was debate whether app killers were necessary on eclair, but if you have froyo definitely uninstall
free up memory i think its called
dont think you need root access but dont quote me on that

Coming from the cliq rooted with a 2.1 rom, atk was a necessity IMO.But ive hard that task killers are not needed with froyo and that it hurts more than it helps. But ive noticed that even with atk on froyo, apps aren't being killed unless I go to settings/applications/manage apps to force close myself. Ive tried just not force closing or killing apps and ive noticed it being a memory hog and decrease in performance and battery, but thats just my own personal testing.
What's your opinion on task killers and such? do I need it or am I better of without one?

I am using "advanced app killer'. A number of stock apps will restart right after, but most others will not.
I use it right after starting up, and after closing some apps (they often keep running in background). I think this is helping materially with my battery life - which is fairly good.

is a horrible thing. the second u close an app and it instantly reopens itself your cpu shoots up 100% and you end up killing more battery by doing that.
Haven't seen the need for a task killer. I run System Panel app and what I'm seeing is the majority of the apps listed are on background and not taking up CPU power at all.
If anything, once I root, I'll probably use Autostarts just to minimize the number of apps that run at startup. But right now... not even necessary.

Task killers are okay, just not needed. The real issue is the auto killing and killing system apps.
Long press home, use that instead if really necessary.
I use automem killer and keep it on a strict setting

STO0CK TASKKILLER FTW : go on desktop , menu , create shortcut , place shortcut of stock task killer , awsomee! ! !
I have autokill I had

im sayin stock tassk killer is as good if not better than any of the task killers (as far as killing programs go , not to monitor system so much ) but stock is simple clean neat easy and made by company that made Your operating system , why not use it .
(at least You can be sure the task killer is not some mallware program stealing Your identity)

BTW : dont kill the task all day long You need stuff in memory if you kill things all day long they will take awhile to boot because u clean memory frequently and programs have to load up allover again instead of being in memory ready to be used )
Okay thanks!

lol , cool =>
where you using autokiller? because if you where thats a different type of task management app.
auto killer is used to tune androids natural task killing abilities. also galaxy tuner also has these features built into the app.
Here is some informed info on using these types of memory managers.

Oh well check out that info I posted. Besides having auto kill on lowers your battery life because its constantly killing stuff. Your phone uses the same amount of power regarless if you have things in memory or not.
WOW , i didnt say battery preformance decrease because of task you kill BUT! it increases loading times ! which also decrease your battery !
No one said you said anything bro. I was just sharing information I know to be true as confirmed by developers that I follow. My info was not directed at anyone or anything.
i know bro , if i sound mean i didnt mean too , and i was JUST SAYING TOO .
Some say it helps some says it does nothing

No... No.....
I get better battery life without it.
Don't use it for any version. Android has its own management and frees memory as needed. The only way it'll help battery is if you need to close a rogue app causing drain. For this use Samsung task manager or system panel.
Thanks for the info

Anyone know if it's possible to remove the TouchWiz 2.2 Task Manager via Titanium Backup for example (or another method if possible), without repercussions to the stability of my phone?.. If someone could answer this or direct me elsewhere it would be greatly appreciated. I figured I would use this thread as an opportunity to plug another question as I was also curious about the OP's question too.
I choose to use the advanced task killer on the market on auto kill, while I know it's not necessarily needed for Android with JIT I feel the freed memory launches apps more quickly. It might just be mental but it's always done good by me so I use it

Unless you're using Android 1.x, there's no reason to use a task killer.
Removed mine, thanks for the info.

I use it too and increased my battery life. Now I use only about 1% battery drain per hour of none use.
you dont need to remove it unless if its like a AUTO killer.
I keep ATK advanced task killer on my app list.
I mean who knows when a apps just gonna go crazy on me?
and the Android Task Manager doesn't see all the apps so... thats lame, i keep mine, but use it when a app is like freezing/slowing me down
Agree while in general task killers are not needed on 2.2+, there are some applications that still missbehave and need a force kill to function properly again. Personally I just use the stock Samsung task manager and widget, which does not mess with any system services.

I hate atk, but I do use the task manager that is included in the roms I flash. I use the task manager ONLY when an application freezes or doesn't operate correctly.
I've removed mine through Titanium. If you're uncomfortable just freeze it.
Don't blame me, blame my keyboard's autocorrection algorithm.
It seems on froyo app killer don'T kill things it did on 2.1.. Such as music or pandora.. Is there a fix?
sent from my frozen yogurt filled fascinate!
most of the custom roms like superclean and others have a type of memory management built in. Use the stock the task manager on the phone if you think that the memory management built in isn't good enough. I personally wouldn't install an app killer.
Task managers are more or less useless on Froyo. This is a well known fact, and before this thread gets outta hand with ANOTHER task manager debate....
Shields up!
Red alert!

Does anyone use them?
Heard from some guys at verizon they can actually be bad for your device not sure if I believe that so what is your opinion ?

Care to explain why they're bad for your device?
As yes, I use them
Well he said on newer devices they can slow them down , I was super convinces by this either

It does more bad than good. Its forcing applications to be removed from the memory. Which is uneeded as android will handle its own memory there is no need for you to use a task killer. When you clear apps from the recent apps list.. that does the same thing as a task killer.. but natively. It will remove the apps from the background and will indeed stop them. Dont worry about task killers.

Exactly what ÜBER said, task killers are a no-no.
In theory they slow your device down, cause extra battery drain and are not needed since eclair 2.1.
They remove running services which the device loads back up into memory again using CPU cycles which uses battery.
Leave android handle all memory, it has had a major overhaul since it was first created.
