So how you exit applications like the Stock Music for example without using the hardware button? .

Why do you need to? Android will automatically terminate idle apps when it needs the memory. Task managers generally only achieve one thing, shortened battery life.

When I open some Apps, 10 other Apps open along with it. Is rooting the phone the only way to have access to the means to stop this?
Thanks,

Don't pay so much attention. In general, those applications don't use your cpu and battery. Android has its own task manager system.
Yeah dis is even happening to me,the reason is so simple like one app needs the other apps so they are even opening up.

what the appl you using which is opening others appl can u name the apps
if you kill apps, they will probably get restarted automatically and left in the background. If the apps are working correctly, this is not a problem, as a well coded app does not use CPU/battery when in the background.
Actually, I just quit using a task manager to kill tasks (I just let Android kill them as necessary) and I have no problems (phone is not slower, power drain is not higher).
Maybe the thing is that after you stop a task in a task manager it does not update immediately and you don't see the task being restarted, and when you go into the task manager after running some app just then you see the apps restarted.
Also, some apps are very generic (maps) and used by other apps, and some apps need to be running all the time (latitude, mail client, widgets, etc.) and killing them would make them not work properly (widgets no longer updating, not getting new emails, etc.).
My advice is to leave the apps running if you are not very sure of what you are doing, because the OS will eventually kill unnecessary apps, and until then they should not use any CPU or battery.
Only thing is to stay away from badly written apps, the ones that use too much CPU even when in the background or when phone is sleeping. You should probably wait for a night after installing a new app to see if you have higher drain. If so, just uninstall and search for an alternative.

Am I being paranoid or is my phone getting slower and slower :S I get tired of closing apps in the 'Running Services' tab. Is there a way to completely close an app? I got in the habit of hitting back until I return back to the homescreen but that doesn't work on all apps such as Facebook.
No thats the propper way..
If an app doesnt stop after hitting the back button it wont do this anyway
you have to kill it on task manager
apps like facebook wont close doen because they own notifications and live messaging

Task Manager? Where is that? I have an Xperia Play
There is a way ... If you use CM go to settings --> applications --> development and stop app via long press

Hi
Android are supposed to keep apps 'cached' in the background - having them ready should you need them once again.
One way to 'kill' apps, to free memory is to install a 'task manager' og 'task killer' (search one of these phrases in play).
They are designed to kill a list of apps with a single touch...however Google doesn't recommend this way, as they claims it might leave the system in an unstable state.
As i can't post links, you can 'google' this: 'task-killers-answer-google-developers'
You might have a rogue app or memory leaks, or your VM values are bad for your device. Are you running out of RAM? Is your CPU usage maxing out? Are you using swap or compcache? What are your VM/sysctrl values? All these things and much more can destroy a ROM.
I find that many custom ROM's have a habit of using stupid VM values. Try getting RAM Manager from Play Store and using the "Balance" preset, it works great. I also highly suggest "SystemPanel App" from Play Store (costs $3), it has an awesome Monitoring function to record a history of how all your apps, services and processes are using the CPU. That is, if the CPU is maxing out... get a CPU Usage Monitor to find that out.
EDIT: If you are using an sd-ext partition, it can also kill performance. Especially if you move dalvik-cache to sd.

I have few questions that I'm uncertain about,
1. To save battery on the S3, is it best to use SetCPU to underclock the CPU while it's not in use and when the screen is off?
2. Is there a app which I can choose which app will start when the device is powering on?
3. After I finish using apps such as Facebook and hit the middle button, will the app still be running?
4. Which app allows me to block apps from accessing the internet when opened?
Can someone help me please
1. depends
2. no idea
3. yes
4. no idea

So you can't use SetCPU to underclock the CPU when it's not in use?

When does the app closes itself? Also when it's running in the background, it still use internet data?
Hello,
So, my question is, when I try to kill a process with 3rd party task managers, such as ES Task Manager and Android Tuner, the process gets killed for a moment, and the re-starts again. For example Google+ process. When I kill Google+ on Android Tuner, it starts again after a while.
But when I kill a process with android's default task manager (which is located in Settings --> Apps) it gets killed permanently, till I reboot my phone.
How can I do that same thing with 3rd party Task Managers?
I HAVE a working root and root permissions via SuperSU.
Check out greenify from the play store. It essentially hibernates any apps you choose until you start them. Works best with root.

install titanium backup. You can disable almost all of the processes and even system apps, but make sure to choose which apps to disable or uninstall.

I know Greenify, I use it but it doesn't show many apps... Just primary apps installed on the phone. I need something much more detailed.

I know Titanium Backup aswell, I use it but I'm asking about killing a process, not disabling it.
I wonder what's the difference between Android system task manager and a 3rd party task manager with root permissions. Aren't they both supposed to do the same thing?

Most of the apps will get (force) closed when cleared from recents. Only those with background services need actual "force close" button press. As advised, Greenify might accomplish what you're looking for.

Greenify is completely automated and done in the background. You can set whatever apps you want to close whenever you want.
I don't know of anything else that is as effective as it.
Also I wouldn't really be using these anymore as Android is more than capable of ram management.
Spare ram is wasted ram

Well, that's the risk you take. Most of the killed apps will re-launch themselves automatically, either right away or after a while, when they receive corresponding event/broadcast message. You did not specify why do you want to kill apps in the first place, but generic approach:
1. Greenify (link) - it will kill an app AND prevents automatic restart of an app (doesn't work at 100% though)
2. Disable specific service of an app, so it won't keep restarting (app might be unstable - crash)
3. Uninstall the app and find a better alternative which isn't always running
