What exactly you're looking for?
If you look for multitasking it's just a long press on central Home button

This is not really necessary or recommended with Gingerbread onwards. Android is much better at suspending the threads.
But if you really want to kill it, just download any free task killer.
By the way, the Xperia S has a TON of RAM. I'm not sure why you think you're running into memory issues.

There are a number of pieces of research that show that killing tasks manually actually has a detrimental effect on device speed and battery life.
Let Android manage this itself.
This is intresting to know because I had task killer on my sgs2 and i always used to kill apps manually.

That and dependency issues. (think cardhouse) ;-)
Middle Key
Press the middle key and that will take you to the task manager.

First of all, sry if this is the wrong section!
Its been some time since i got my hero and i found only 3 apps that i would LOVE to have...
1. an alarm that works every time-.-'
2. rabbids go iphone
3. touchgrind for iphone
i know the last 2 are for iphone but can it by any chance be cracked? or one similar being created? those are the best apps i've seen for ages on any phone and i would love to have them! even at a cost!
and just something random, does any1 know the gbaemulator version that is for hero? i have a lot of them but none of them has onscreen buttons ;/
thx!
1. Why doesn't your alarm work? You should probably look into that problem! Which ROM are you using, how often does it fail etc?
2 and 3. 'Cracking' an app won't change what phone it works on - totally different OS, CPU, architecture, resolution......
email the developers and ask if they have an Android port planned
If you are using any task killer, first reboot phone, than exclude clock aplication in task killer. It should work

That's what I did and it worked for me (worked without rebooting for me). Took a while for me to realize that that was the problem. Woke up a bit too late a couple of days :S
Is there a way to force the clock app to be open?
Why doesn't the clock app tell the system to wake/start/open itself right before the time of the alarm to make sure that it's open? Is this limited by the system?

If you have killed the clock process, how do you suggest that it should magically reappare to make sure the alarm is working? If you kill it, then you kill it.

A timer in the system?
Clock app says: "Hi System, in case I'm not running, could you wake me up in x seconds (or at least the activity needed for running alarms)?"
And the system would do so.
The way it is now, either the Clock app could be killed in favor of other apps (memory) or it would be prioritized and killed very seldom (please correct me if I'm wrong). Both things sound bad to me since the first would make the alarms unreliable and the second might keep the Clock app running even when it's not needed. So, as I asked in my last post: Does the system allow an app to do such a thing?
Just wondering what this thread is doing in the "Development" subforum when there is a perfectly good "Themes and apps" subforum!

Dave

And you are sure that your task killer doesn't autostart?
I would just open the task killer and turn off automatic killing

Hey guys, maybe a stupid question.. but how tp stop the apps?
I know we can go to settings and stop them there, but is there a quicker way? sometimes when we go to the multitasking section, we have many apps open and games.. I think that if we close them, we will save a bit of battery.. iv seen that in ice cream sandwich. We just need to slide them to the right (in the multitasking sec.) but in honeycomb still didnt find anything like that..
Any ideas?

Works fine for me with Android Assistant or ZDBox. Just place the quickboost/kill all widget on ur homescreen and press it when needed. Will close all unused apps. U'll still see them in the multitasking section, but thats mearly a dead shortcut...if u klick one they'll start up new.
In addition Android Assistant has a configurable widget. With it u can jump directly to the process screen and select the ones u wanna close.
Hope this helps.

This might be dumb but coming from the original inc, I had a taskiller to kill active apps. Do I need one for my inc4g? There seems to be people on this forum that are much smarter than me when it comes to this.

You shouldn't need one. The OS will do that for you and usually better then you can do it yourself.
I never use a task killer anymore because I was causing my own issues by using one.
it's there, jsut not in app drawer, im using tweaks now, it will have the task manager tweaks in quick settings once rom drops, dont wanna spoiler any surprises yet
but nit asked me to help him port venom rom as he got permission and im beyond honored to have been asked. so excited.
Although you may want to have one to have more control over killing background processes that aren't directly associated with apps, the need for a task killer is greatly reduced in Ice Cream Sandwich because you can effectively quit an app 99% of the time by opening the Recent Apps menu and swiping up on the "card" that represents the app to remove it.

Nice...I like too!
although, I can edit the deafult.xml and unhide the task manager icon and personalize icon, I feel they shouldn't be hidden, but needs to be on fresh flash, I'lll talk to Nit.
Havent used a task killer in 2 years. Forget about it!
You don't need it. If you are having issues, use an app like system panel and find the rogue.
Let the phone manage itself, after 2.3, it's not needed.

Hello all,
I need some help please !
I recently rotted my galaxy S2 and applied jelly bean ROM to it (X-Treme CM10)

But, when I long press the center button, I can only see recent apps. There is no option to open task manager.
Please tell, is there any other way to open task manager ??
I'm a bit lazy to open settings --> Apps --> and then close running apps.
Any kind of help is highly appreciated !
ALSO ...
I wanted to know that for how long the battery lasts once i recharge it to 100% ???
Help please

isnt the task manager app there in the apps? Also, you can select task manager widget/shortcut on your screen..havent used jelly bean yet though..but the task manager should be accessible by methods mentioned
Hye,
you shouldn't always rely on managers to do your tasks.. better try to do given tasks like homework, assignment by yourself.. Thrust me..*ouch, It will give you benefits.
It's built in. When you swipe apps away it clears ram space.
And as far as how long your battery is going to last, no one is going to be able to answer that. You'll find out when its at 1%

Task manager is only on Samsung based ROMs, not in AOSP/AOKP. Android has its own task manager that manages perfectly and automatically. You don't need any.
Using other task managers isn't good, since it sometimes clashes with Android's built-in one.

Thats the main function of the long press home button, install another Launcher and configure it to do that.
The Task Manager sometimes is not installed on customs ROM's; install it manually or change the ROM

Just press and hold down home button , then swipe away the app you want to close. Or instead of swipe use trash can. But you have to hold down home button to get to the scree for either way.

Hey Everyone,
Thank you for your time, me and my small team are just about to release a android app for cleaning and maintainance.
So I`ve got this problem of naming a function tap, basically this function is developed for boosting memory of android phone by killing running tasks. So what`s the best name for this tap, any advice?
Which options suit best?
1. Task Killer
2. Memory Boost
3. Memory Optimization
4. Task (?)
5. Others(Pls provide your suggestions)
Thank you so much in advance!

It kinda is advice. It's great advice lol. Everyone thought Task Killer were great when Android was first introduced. Then, it just became a problem child & battery killer. I would stray away from the name "task killer" if you want a successful app.

yes, I know this kind of apps are redundant to the "professionals", but we must admit most of users belong to "layman" or what you prefer "noobs"
and what we do, to some extent, what we all do is to make everything more convenient and better, also apps like"task killers" "memory booster" etc are disappointed by many users coz it failed their expectations every time. Actually that`s why we choose to optimizing this field rather than stay away with, maybe we haven`t done good enogh, can`t meet everyone`s expectations, at least we tried.
I tried Task killer but not satisfied untiI I use Greenify.
