So when i open the running Apps tab, there are many processes running. What are the ones you all safely stop?

I would like to run certain apps, like e.g. skype in the background all the time.
However the HD2 closes all apps in the background after a certain time.
I also tried duttys taskmanager, but still all apps in the background are being closed after some time automatically.
Is there any way to keep all apps in the background running, until you close them manually?
Thanks!
Apps aren't closed after a certain time, they are closed by Windows OOM - Out of Memory Handler, when your system is low on memory, or when you reach the system's limit of 32 running processes. AFAIK, you cannot configure OOM, so what you can do is close other applications. Otherwise it should have been taken care of by the application developers - OOM only closes apps with windows, so they need to write the program in a way that there's a windowless background process.
Thanks for the explanation...
But I checked and I have "only" 28 processes running.
When just opening the calculator and have it running in the background, it is closed automatically after some minutes.
So the limit of too many processes cannot be reached by that.
And also there is plenty of free memory...
I've never had any applications closed automatically...
I have the same problem.
I want to run flexmail always in the background, but it closes automatically. Probably because of memory problems. Is there a way that it gests automatically re-opened by the system by some kind of tweaking?
How much program memory do you have left?
On my device, apps get closed automatically, when about 53% of program memory is used. That is much too early I think.
On my Touch HD I had always about 65% in use.
Is there any way to set in the registry, at which threshold of memoty-usage programs get closed?
Ok, I think I got it now...
It is not caused by a 3rd party software.
The ROM has a limit of 27 processes that can run at the same time.
If you have e.g. 25 processes running and then open 2 apps running in the background, then when opening the third app closes one of the other apps in background, so that the limit of 27 processes is applied.
It is not a memory issue! Just an issue of the limit of 27 processes running at the same time!
Since I have quite some services running in the background, like battery indicator, button mapping, etc. this can be quickly an issue!
So the big question is now:
Can we rise this limit of 27 processes running simultaniously somehow, maybe with a registry tweak or anything?
hi, does anyone know the root files involved so i can remove the samsung task manager, or at least permanently disable it
my problem is that my tab used to force close every time i tried to use it
so i use ATKfroyo, have it set to kill my unwanted apps on screen lock/unlock
but that stops working after a few minutes, (ATKpro does the same)
ive noticed that if i 'force stop' the samsung task manager, and providing i get no force close crashes
the ATKfroyo kill on lock/unlock keeps working for many hours
my RAM can drop to 40mb or less just from apps opening in the background when i dont need them to, and thats when i get the force close buzz.....buzz buzz buzz problems
i could even try replacing some of the samsung task manager files with the files from ATK and rename them so the device thinks its opening the samsung TK when its actually opening ATK, but im not sure how many files make the total app

You can use Titanium Backup to uninstall system apps
and will that let me reinstall it if something goes wrong?
i would rather know where all the files are that make the program
so i can replace them manually with the ATK files but renamed so the device thinks its still there and runs AKT instead
anyone?

then install "root explorer" from the market, and search for the associated files of Task Manager (or other apps) and copy/paste & back up manually.
if it's a system app, it will probably be in /system/app; if it is a non-system app, it's probably in /app
if it's an odexed system, many *.apk's have *.odex; and they will not run without the *.odex file, if the system hasn't been deodexed yet
some have files associated to them in system/lib (e.g. such as SWYPE)
if you say "ATK or AKT"? do you mean APK instead?
Have you guys noticed a discrepancy in the amount of free ram being shown in third party apps and the android task manager? Where in third party apps like system info widget my free ram is around 90 while in the native android manager its around 170. Whats going on?
Hmm, same issue here.
I think android manager excludes the cached apps. if you load the android manager and press menu u can see the option to see cached apps. I'm not running any third party task managers but i think this could be the reason.
I got the tablet today, I can't find where to close programs, I have 10 programs open, where can I close the programs and not have them all open
There is no need to close apps, Android does this for you (if needed), so don't worry about this.

theres a widget for active programmes, add this to your home screen. Android doesnt close all apps automatically.
Long press the home button to open the task manager. Android will close the apps automatically when it needs the space in ram. Leaving them running shouldn't affect battery life.

You will make things worse by force closing apps, there is no point in doing so. Apps that you don't use are leaved in memory for faster loading next time you open them. They are not actually running, they don't use CPU, so they don't use battery. They are automatically removed from memory when needed.
Only if the app is not written correctly, it can cause problems.
In the settings --> apps --> running it says i am using 613MB of RAM but all he processes that it shows add up to around a 100.
How do i see what ALL of the processes that the tablet is running?
ES task manager, then show system apps. Works well for me, needs root to work though.
