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

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.

Hi, I recently noticed big slowdown in built in task manager. I have to wait about 15 seconds before it kills process/opens/closes. Also I noticed that it consumes about 10%of battery. Anyone had such problem?
EDIT: It feels like it's because of ADW Launcher Ex... Anyone can install, use it for a while and confirm it?
Yes I can confirm the same behaviour, after not seeing anyone else report it - I thought it was just me.
Recently I was so fed up with Task Manager almost locking up my tab that I completely wiped it and put Overcome ROM on there, I haven't experienced it since however from reading your post I just realised that it was ADW Launcher all along, that's the only thing I haven't reinstalled since the wipe.
Good find.

I've found temporary "fix" for it. Just frozen task closer in titatnium bakup, and I'm using Advanced Task Killer now. but I hope that developer will fix it, I've already send him an email.
I only have this issue with the task killer widget so I don't use it. Longpressing home or swiping the tqsk bar works just fine for me with adw EX.

Use ram manager its awesome select hardmultitasking as option root needed...
Ram manager isnt a task killer. but yeah i agree it is awesome, even the free version with only one profile

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.

Ok well basically I'm having a problem on my Galaxy S II in which when I exit all apps using the task manager, it kills my lockscreen app, WidgetLocker.
Is there a way that I can have WidgetLocker relaunch after it is killed? Or should I just not bother killing all the apps?
Thanks,
Alex

There is a option for third party apps putting it into suspend mode but no option for Yur task manager not to kill it... The only way to do that is to download something like advanced task killer and just put it on the ignore list....

Ok, thanks for the replies guys, but I don't really want ATK or anything like that, the phone never lags anyway so I'll just close individual programs that I don't want open

Just uninstall WidgetLocker application and try new locker application.

No? Why on earth would I do that? WidgetLocker is a great lockscreen application and either way, ANY third party locker software will be killed by the default 'exit all' widget.
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.
