The best task killer... is none.
Android 2.1 and up already has best task killing, and it's all automatic.
I only kill processes when they're not responding or freezing. Even then I just hold down the back button to end it (I'm on CM7).

I was in the same boat as you, so I asked many android-geeks about good task killers but all of them recommended me not to use any task killer !!!
The best task killer (for me) it's "Advanced Task Killer Pro",just 5 bucks and really works.
market link: ADVANCED TASK KILLER PRO
Advanced task killer is the best, I use it often, also has many options

Hey,
I know people always say never use task killers e.g. advanced task killer.
But does this include the Official HTC Task Manager? or the ICS task killer?
Thanks,
Louis
Task killers havent been useful since Gingerbread's first iteration.

The Task killer that is part of Sense only allows you to kill active apps, most taskillers kill all programs....cached or inactive to free up memory. Therefore, the HTC taskiller is not really the same as Taskiller or any other app like it.

So it's all right to use it?
None! Advanced task manager is better.
Has more options/features and better UI.

+1 on this one, you will be able to tweak the native task manager using that software and that will enable more performance without the added issues that ordinary task killers do.

Does the ICS stock task manager( or whatever it is called) actually kill apps when you swipe them? I ask this question because when i swipe the apps it doesn't show that the app is killed in my task killer and that it is still running. Or is it because the rom is still in Beta?
Thanks.
It doesn't kill the app . It just removes it from the Recent Apps list
This was sent from a Galaxy Ace. Problem?
Oh ok thanks!

If you need a task manager and switcher like Windows OS i recommend you "Perfect Task Switcher".
It is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...m9yZy5yYWJvbGQuYW5kcm9pZC50YXNrc3dpdGNoZXIiXQ..
It has got ICS 4.0 Stock Task manager ui design. And it's not recently app list. It's a real task switcher and killer.
Trust me, i searched for a task killer and switcher for a long time and now it is my favourite app.
If you need help for use it write me, i will help you...
Note: I don't know it supports ICS, I am using it on gingerbread now. Try and see...
thanks man,will try
Android doesnt need a task manager. It can manage apps by itself.

Is there any task killer for ics? That actually works
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
There's absolutely no reason you need this. In any case you can slide programs off the screen to get them off memory when you are switching programs by holding down your home key. I use power hungry apps on my Android and I never need a task killer. And besides. There is no task killer that actually works. Google around and you'll see that they cause more problems than they solve. They were needed on some older 2nd Gen phones. But not on the evo 3d.

What piggyslasher said is true, as they actually do more harm than good with respect to battery life. They kill processes that come back and get killed again for a battery eating cycle.
Having said that, the only time a task killer can be useful is when a process gets out of control and starts eating CPU cycles and batteries. So, I recommend Watchdog from the Play Store. It monitors for run away apps and kills them. There is a free version and if you like it, a paid version.

Thank you guys... I dint know holding the home button will show the apps that I'm using I feel dumb
Sent from my PG86100 using xda premium
Actually, for me, holding home to display the recent and open apps, swiping them off to close them, it doesn't display all of them. If I hold home again after swiping them all away, there will be more. But non will show a 3rd time. Just a heads up if you wanted to take advantage of this.

Task killers haven't been needed since Froyo.
Home replacement Go has a built-in one in the app drawer.

I was using Go task manager for a while, it was good, but then I figured out what these other guys are saying here is true. You dont need a task manager. Android OS is managing the tasks the best way possible.
I set my min free values on my phone so that it would be more aggressive in killing apps. But I don't want to kill juice defender when I hit kill all. Is there a way to make HTC task killer on sense 4 to avoid killing the app or setting juice defenders oom values lower?

I dont think so but you could use SystemPanel which allows you to exclude the apps you want, so they wont be killed. Actually SystemPanel offers you a section called "Help" where you can read about Android as OS and how it is made and why it is actually bad to kill app via task manager apps and when to use them.
So, we know task managers are bad in Android. Free RAM is useless. What about shutting down them through Android own Recent apps? I dont do that, but I know some people who does that, and if I am correct sliding them away from recent apps closes them. Is this bad or useless?

Android usually has its own memory control mechanism and will close apps wen it needs , but sliding them from the recent app menu also closes them this might be useful when something is consuming CPU to save battery run-time.,
most kill task managers usually use the kill command and forcefully closes the app.
