I used Advanced Memory Killer on my Hero, but wonder if it makes sense to use any on SGS2.

You just don't need it anymore.
Thanks a lot, guys. I'm asking because i'm a bit worried about the battery consumption while the phone is not used. I had much better results with Hero with 18-month old battery.

System panel paid version with monitoring enabled is what I use to track which apps if any are using CPU. Its the best tool by far for this.

There are 2 apps I've used. Spare Parts and CPU Spy.
I found a good one after all and was able to control some hogs. Android Assistant breaks it down nicely.

I use lookout.
I only get 1hour of battery. Then it dies. Could lookout be the cause?

No. Does that mean it doesnt?

If your android system usage is high, it may still be the culprit. Try uninstalling lookout and see for yourself.

I uninstalled it
My battery is very good right now. And has been for the last hour or two.
But I like having the security, so I'm lost. Don't know what to use

i dont find it necessary to have a antivirus on an android. as long as your careful about what you download then you should be fine. you could also just get a firewall to use on certain apps or if you have MIUI there is one built in

Read all the review from Market for the apps u want to run. If still paranoid, search on xda first before downloading. No need for Lookout..
I use lookout, I have no issues with battery. I keep data off unless I need it.

This is the man developing for your phone. Just think about that for a second.

My phone recently started using more battery than normal. I installed a couple apps over the weekend. I suspect it could be one of those. What app can I use from the market that will pinpoint this for me? Thank you.

try "CPU spy"
i use a widget called battery info. - lots of good info provided in this little widget
Tried CPU spy and it doesn't tell me much or maybe I am not using it properly. If a specific app was draining my battery, is there anything that will pinpoint this?

Does this widget pinpoint battery loss from a specific app?

Just wanted to gather people's opinions on what's their favourite/best Android security app?
On my Xperia x10 I always used Lookout. But when I installed this on my XS I noticed my battery drained considerably faster than before (I was previously satisfied with the baterry life on my XS)
Are there better options that do not drain the battery?

Avast for general security and theft protection (it's superb when root installed), and Lookout for location devices. Use the two together.
Oh, and get insurance. So worth it.
Hey I havent seen this discussed thoroughly hwre yet and if it has my apologies in advance but I was wondering how you guys are minimizing RAM usage. I downloaded ROM Toolbox but cant find how to set a RAM usage limit or whatever. Any tips or ideas would be great. Thanks
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium
I've never worried but when I do I just use the task manager and clear ram
