Task maneger, anyone? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there.
I'm looking for a widget task manager (not a task killer, just something that gives me quick access to running tasks), preferably something that shows me running tasks in the widget itself (as oppose to a widget that opens a menu of tasks when pressed).
I use to use the go launcher task manager, that suited my needs perfectly, but as far as I understand it, it's only available with the launcher.
The Active Apps / Task Manager looks good, but only shows the apps themselves in a menu, and not on the "desktop".
So, any recommendations?

Trying to use widgetlocker but the task manager keeps knocking it off, does anyone know how to add it as an exception to the galaxy s2 integrated task manager? Can neither figure it out or find it in searches!

[Q] "Active Applications" widget vs "Running"?

Hi all,
What's the deal with the "Active Applications" widget?
Is it made by Samsung?
What does the color in the rectangle mean?
Is there a way to resize the widget to a single square?
Is there any documentation?
[wasn't allowed to post my marked up screenshot, but it's b048b.jpg at imgur.com, will try to use forum file attachment instead.]
Why is the listing so much shorter than the listing at Settings > Applications > Manage Applications ?
Thanks all!
this is a great question because this is a samsung thing that they added which isnt on regular android. so i'd be curious to know exactly how it works.

It's just the widget, you can press and hold Home button and task manager opens, the same thing. It shows the Active Apps but doesn't show them which are Cached or Running in background, so frankly I don't find this very useful.

Hmm. You're right that the widget is simply showing the count of apps within the "Active applications" list of the Task Manager.
What about the color bar of the widget?
It's usually a green-yellow-red gradient, but sometimes it's mostly green, and sometimes it's mostly red.

svoice and stock task manager

is there a way to prevent the stock samsung task manager from killing Svoice running in the background? I use wake up command when screen is turned off to find out the time, weather, open google voice search, and make calendar appointments etc. and I use task manager's "end all" button to shut down apps that are not in use to free up ram. the problem is that sometimes Svoice does not show up on the running list and when i end all apps it closes and the screen-off wake up command does not work unless i manual restart Svoice. does the stock task manager have a ignore list? Is it possible to do this on a non-rooted phone?

SlidePad / Smart Task Launcher are killed in the background

Hi,
I would like to use a quick launcher like SlidePad or Smart Task Launcher.
These apps run in the background and allow you to access shortcuts whenever you swipe on pre-defined "hotzones".
Unfortunately it seems like the Honor 7's battery saving features kill these apps whenever I go back to the homescreen. When I am directly inside the mentioned two apps I can use the hotzones. Then, when I press home, the hotzones do not work anymore.
I am on Android 5.1.1 with EMUI 3.1 and as launcher I use Nova Launcher.
What I also tried is enabling those apps as "protected apps" in the phone settings.
Any suggestions?

[Q] How Android keeps opened apps on task manager even after rebooting the phone?

I can see the apps that I've opened in recent app section even after rebooting the phone.
If the apps are using RAM to work why don't they disappear when I restart the phone?
The Recents screen (also referred to as the Overview screen, recent task list, or recent apps) is a system-level UI that lists recently accessed activities and tasks. The user can navigate through the list and select a task to resume, or the user can remove a task from the list by swiping it away. The list is persistent, means it doesn't get cleared on Android's boot-up.
Resume: As long as an app listed in recent apps isn't removed there, it gets shown there.
