Which app or mod do you suggest me to have recent apps ( not necceserly task killer )??
1.AppICS Task Manager/switcher
2.AppICS Task Manager
3.Mod Add ICS/JB Like Recent Apps
I need one of this, which can't drain battery...i just want to have jelly bean recent apps, also if it hasn't task killer...
if you know any other better mods or guides just post it below..
PLEASE HELP TO DECIDE :silly:
:good:
you see on my thread of Mod Add ICS/JB Like Recent Apps I included the suggestion to use the ICS Task Manager app by HalfCycle because it is the most convenient among the three. and also it doesn't have any issue using a qvga screen like our x10 mini device. the other app ICS Task Manager/switcher almost eats up the whole screen of our small device so it is not advisable. =')
PS: I use the ICS Task Manager app for daily use.

I really like the asus task killer, it shows the apps that are running, how much they are using, you can kill one or all at a touch of a button...
HOWEVER
it is slow
i cant find any way to exclude some apps (like ADW launcher)
it constantly changes sizes so when you kill an app you have to wait for it to redraw
does not see all processes
Does anyone know any similar apps? I really like the widget, i know theres lots of task killers out there, im looking for one with comparable widgets.
Also on the topic of killing apps, it seems a lot of apps are running without me wanting them, like music or maps. why do they keep popping up when i dont use em?
I had the same issues. Grabbed es task manager and like it a lot so far
Hey,
I currently am running AOKP 4-11-12 and I was wondering if it were possible to install the Samsung Task Manager as I prefer that to the one in the ROM and I cant find any other good task managers on the market.
So is it possible to download and install the APKs for the Samsung task manager or will it not work with this ROM?

There is a de-Touchwizzed one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452004
I haven't tried the Task Manager but I have used some of the other apps in that thread. Note: it doesn't integrate at the bottom of the recent apps list, but you can launch it as a normal application using methods such as custom home long press app, launcher gestures, search long press, etc.

Thanks! Just to clarify, have you used these apps with AOKP or with some other ROM?
I've been using the Clock and Calculator with AOKP and CM9. Once separated from TouchWiz, they are pretty much normal apps. But, they are not perfect! For instance, alarms can't be set in the Clock. I use the AOSP Clock for alarms, the TW Clock for stopwatch/timer functions. Again, I haven't tested the Task Manager, but the thread is short enough that you see if people are having problems.
This is also out there--again I have no first hand experience, but it's all really easy to find by Googling:

Not sure what other peoples views are but I don't use Task Killers, I think Android does a good enough job of managing itself however since moving to AOSP/AOKP ROM's I really miss the stock Samsung Task Manager.
I have certain apps on my phone that don't have an exit button or can only be exited by the home button which means they stay active and use CPU and thus battery, if I was still using a Samsung ROM I would use the Task Manger to close/exit said applications.
Some apps will close by sliding the tile in recent applications but some do not, I love the ROM I am currently using but I miss the control I had over my phone with the Task Manage.
So my question is...
Does anybody know of an application available like the stock Samsung Task Manger or...
Can the stock Samsung Task Manager be modded to work on CM9 and other AOSP/AOKP ROM's?
Thanks and let the flaming begin! lol

Many solutions
In aokp rom:
In rom control/general tick the "long press on the back touch to close app"option.
or in rom control/navigation barr configure one of the button to killer app.
In aosp/aokp settings/devellopement options
tick "don't gard activity" option. (may cause applis bugs)
Download a Task killer on the market.
Guys my mind seems to get stuck because i use advance task killer and i have also task manager the stock app that comes with the GS3 ....the thing is if i open more apps and kill them with advance task killer they are still available to kill with stock task killer and also the other way around...So what does this tell me?! What is the best way to actually close the apps that are still running in the background?!

Don't use advanced task killer.
Let me repeat that for longevity, DO NOT USE ADVANCED TASK KILLER!
That was useful pre froyo, not now.
Let Android do its thing.

Don't use any 3rd party task killer it will only decrease you battery life. Task Manager is pretty good. Just kill the task and use "clear memory"
Like the guys say, you do not need a task killer from the market. Android manages tasks for you. If you have a badly coded app use the samsung one which is under long hold home for convenience. Usually this is force stop in application manager
