Does CM7 have an app/task killer? Which kernel gets better battery life? If Glitch is used which leakage works the best? Will it mess up audio?

Not sure about the task killer, but open there says high leakage is best for most devices.

Unfortunately, there is no task killer that comes with CM7. IMO, we don't need it for this ROM. A day without restarting and it is still running smoothly/snappy for me.
If you would like some performance increase on your phone. You might try enabling 'Allow purging of assets' on CM7 settings > performance. Or you could always find a task manager on the market.
Good Luck.

And you are using a task killer/ram optimization app why? Android will kill apps when RAM is low, and why would you need so much free ram?
Please correct me if I misunderstood though. Some devs prefer strict though I believe.

This isn't like task killer app... its not like once of those app u click kill all apps.
I'm just trying apps to get the best battry life out of my phone.
This app actually tweak stuffs unlike other apps. It helps u to get the battery life out of your phone I believe, if you can use it right.
So I was just asking if anyone is using this app and getting better battery life
Im just going to delete this app for now since I don't know how to use it and its draining my battery. If anyone is getting better battery life when using custom roms with it let me know.

its his phone to do with as he pleases...but to answer your question, some apps continuously run in the background (even after you "close" them), and there is absolutely no need for them. They chew up RAM and battery. I use a moderate combination of AutoMemory Optimizer, AutoStarts, and a conventional task killer. I keep my RAM squeaky clean cause thats how i want it. I dont like my OS waiting for it to get to an unnecessary low point before it starts "killing"

Auto killer ... is a tool used to enhance android's internal memory manager ... Unlike its name its not a task killer .. again you can use it to tell android when and how much memory to reclaim ..... I use the preset 'aggressive ', but to fully understand the settings I would suggest you go the the dev's website, he has a lot of useful info on there .....

one will argue that it saves battery my limiting application runtime. another will argue that it takes up more battery because the app keeps starting and stopping. Thats why you should always use a program like "Autostarts", which prevents certain apps from EVER opening in situations that they dont need to be open. If youre getting into task management, that should be your first step before anything else, cause that DOES save your battery.
Can you guys list the pros and cons of using a taskiller because I've been hearing that its bad for your phone.
Comments will be greatly appreciated.

use AutoKiller memory management. It isn't really a normal task killer but selectively raise the kill priority value (oom) of most apps so the OS kills them sooner. Since it is just an interface for changing values and wont run in the background it wont drain battery or CPU. You can also open the app and manually kill apps if you need to.

What were your memory limits set at?

I dont bother with any of that stuff anymore.
The 2.2 ROM i am running at the moment does all that for me. Well almost. 2.3 did that even better when i ran that rom by rdanner.

I use 150,200,250 as the last 3 settings and it works perfectly for me. Some people think those values are too high and could cause problems with some widgets but it never changed the values of any widget dependant services for me and I havent had any problem in at least 3-4 months of usage.
Sent from my X10i using XDA Premium App
If you got AutoKiller and havent figured it out yet you can press the processes tab at the top to see a list of all running apps, just click one to kill it. This will also show the oom value for each as well as which is the kill priority value. The higher the oom value the higher the priority to kill it when the system needs to recoup ram, the lower the value the less likely it is to be killed. Ive noticed that even with the high values I use, any process or service that relates to the system functions or widgets I have has a value that hasnt changed and remains at 1 or even in the negatives.
Despite what people say I have had instances where I need to kill apps that get hung up (like the browser sometimes and every once in a while a root app gets stuck while verifying permissions) and the OS wont kill it automatically, so I do use it to kill apps occasionally.

Guys,
I am running the latest community rom with 1.2 oc and a not so aggressive undervolt. I randomly get sluggish performance. Try and fling/scroll and it will hang for two moments and then move.
Any idea why?

ide say thats normal.. i used to get 3-5 seconds of lag.. now its a max of 2 if any.. its just part of andriod and its programing.
Sounds like memory management. A good unobtrusive app to use is process monitor widget, free in market. Let's you see & record what's going on.

I've got the same thing, I've odined back to stock on up to 1.3 and it's no better.

Thanks for the tip on bfq. Seems to have quicken the reflexes of my phone.
I really love the DSP Manager app on Trigger Redux, is there any alternative for 2.2 based roms?
The battery life is too terrible on CM7, even with a 3000mah battery

Anyone uses this app yet. It was recommend by Clemsyn on XDA as a better alternative to setcpu. I download the free version in the market, but the UI is a bit confusing. Seems like a little better optimization available.
Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk
I saw his recommendation and downloaded the free version. I its a little overwhelming as i'm still noobish, but it seems to have a larger breadth of options than set cpu. As far as its relative reliability, i'm not sure. There is no "apply" button for uv steps tho, so an unintentional finger slip can cause your phone to freeze! just try it out, see if you like it I guess

I have been using this ever since it came out it replaces a lot of apps out there and the CPU tuner is compatible with dual core phones and utilizes them completely. It has an app manager, auto starts, frequency controls, sd booster and many more uses. I for one think it is one of the best apps I have in my root arsenal .

I was using this for a little and noticed something weird im running the v6 supercharger scripts and in my memory settings the last mem setting would change from 275mb to 256mb. I tried everything so that it wouldnt mess with my supercharger scripts but no go. I unistalled it and everything has been back to normal. Anyone else notice this?

I bought the Pro version and am liking it better than SetCPU now that I have got used to it and have everything set up. I would like to see live update on the widget when the screen is on though. Lowest setting is 10 seconds.
