I have downloaded smart cover so that the screen automatically turns on when I open the flip cover. It works well but as soon as i kill tasks using gemini task killer it stops working. I have changed the setting so that smart cover does not get killed but yet the still problem. Does the task killer affect the proximity sensor in any way?
I really need a solution to this, as it really is annoying having to press the power button every time I open the cover as effortless as it sounds.
Easy solution. Don't use a task killer. Why are you using one? Task killers are not needed on modern android devices.. infact they're detrimental. Do yourself a favour and get rid of it...

What is the best auto app killer Facebook always continues to run in the background using 10 to 40% CPU I need an application that will kill it as soon as my screen goes off
Sent from my SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
I actually stopped using auto app killers about 5 months ago after reading several articles on how the android operating system works. I would suggest maybe just using task manager to kill it when yer done with it?

That's a pain Especially since I'm not supposed to be on my phone at work and that's just one more thing I would have to do an more chance of getting caught

Advanced Task Killer seem to work well for me.
I don't know if I'm breaking a rule, I saw this post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969555), but I don't think so.
my question is: "there is a way for free up RAM space, and/or make the phone quicker?" (using stock ics .587)
.. because every time i press back botton, it use about 4 second to do the action. I used a task killer if course.
I'm using this phone about 3 weeks, it is a present, and it was new, not second hand.. so is a little bit STRANGE.
I'm prepared to root my phone if necessary.
thanks for any answer!

"tits"? lol
anyway dont use task killer, it do more harm than good.
root your phone, and use something like auto memory manager to modify android native memory manager value. the auto memory manager is free in google play.
or if u wanna do more just unlock bootloader and flash custom kernel. custom kernel usually have better memory mangement, power mangement etc compared to stock kernel.

so, Auto Memory Manager isn't just snake oil like all the task killers and RAM boosters?
No, auto memory manager just adjusts the threshold limit for the lowest free memory that will be accepted by the os and will only kill tasks if the free memory gets below the threshold limit,
whereas task killers will kill the task irrespective of the threshold limit.
Press thanks if I helped you.

"Tits" - One more reason to be on XDA lol :silly:
What the....from 2days morning I get up I only 'tits' in xda..lol
sent straight from hell
Hello, I have some questions, and need some advice and help - Thank You
Firstly, i am new to android, and recently got a new phone, running ICS. However im having some problems.
My Phone has 1gb RAM
I haven't installed much, and I have Disabled most of the pre installed rubbish.
Yet, it always says, 490MB USED RAM? Why is this? I even calculated the stuff i had running and it was around 290-310mb MAX, So why is so much RAM Being used? ( This is after I have installed and killed apps, i installed Advance Task Killer and Task Manager)
Secondly, Hard Drive space is no issue, i have 1.9gb free internet and USB sotre is i think around 8gb, when installing apps, Do You recommended to move them USB Storage or keep them in internal ( if i put them in USB Storage is there a chance of them being/working slower.
and Finally the biggest and main problem, How do i stop my phone from Sleeping? Its driving me crazy! After a while (when i am not using it) the phone goes into sleep mode, when i want to use it i cant, wake it up from my buttons, i have to use the power button right at the top, is there a way to alter this?
Thank You
try something like settings>display>screen timeout and/or settings>applications>development>stay awake. Also, it helps people help you if they know what phone you have and what carrier you're on.
Some of the apps do not support movement to ext storage.. Rest can be moved without problems..

I dont wana to custom rom it, surely there must be a simpler or easier way?
So after a little bit of tinkering, I've managed to get M8-esque software keys on my One Max. Now I have set about disabling the capacitive home/back keys, but for the life of me, cannot manage to shut them off...does anyone happen to know the file that I need to edit?
Undertake the following AT YOUR OWN RISK, when it comes to ripping out this kind of stuff I HAVE ENOUGH TROUBLE TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR MY OWN ACTIONS, LET ALONE YOURS, THEREFORE, I WON'T.
UPDATE: For anyone interested in getting the keys disabled, I managed to finally get them off by using root explorer to edit the contents of:
- system/usr/keylayout/max1187x_touchscreen_0.kl
- system/usr/keylayout/himax.touchscreen.kl
- system/usr/keylayout/synaptics-rmi-touchscreen.kl
All contents of these files were backed up and deleted. Reboot and enjoy!
(I'd tried #ing them, and deleting the contents individually, but it only seems to work when ALL are blanked, someone who actually knows what they're doing can probably clarify if this is overkill)

Well I suspect what made it so very easy was the fact that I was on the 4.4/Sense 6 M8 port that Flyhalf posted a few weeks ago. Since it was an M8 port, I just assumed they'd be hidden in there.
You can get them up with a text edit, or you can go the easy route and use

I have no idea if this would work on stock One Max ROMs, but it's worth a shot.

button savior also works.
i've been looking for how to disable the hard keys but haven't found it. I was thinking maybe using Xposed Additions to see if I could just remap the buttons to no action or something but haven't had the chance
It'll work on stock or ports 4.4.x only but use Xposed then install GravityBox and you can add soft keys and you can turn off hard keys......... Nuff said!

I heard you can quickly edit your build.prop or you can adb pull framework-res.apk decompile it with ApkTool and edit the I think bool.XML I dunno its been a while and change show navbar from false to true then recompile it and push it back.. Restart the Android system wait for it to optimize apps and profit LOL... That's a somewhat permanent solution unless you reverse the method

Hmm, I've been looking into gravitybox, but I can't seem to find any option to completely disable the hardware keys. I do see how I can map double and long presses, but nothing for just general presses. (Although if I could define the length of a long press at a laughably short time, e.g. 1ms, then assign no long press function.....that could be a janky way of getting the job done)

The most infuriating part of this is the fact that I've been digging in system/usr/.../keylayout, systematically #ing out instances of the desired keys, but they just never ever ever unbind.

I am wondering if a task killer is needed for my s4. Current try I only use greenify but u feel like with myself ope I got so many different apps it would be beneficial to.kill the ones I'm not currently try using to give more battery and speed. Does android do this by itself and therefore I do not need one or? I did try advanced task killer but when I kill the apps the come right back. Since then I have restored and did not install ATK.
Let me know your opinions
Thanks
Sent from my SCH-I545 using Tapatalk
That's up to you. Android is pretty good at dumping old apps to free up ram. What a lot of people over look is that the android system keeps apps in memory to make them load quicker when you open them again. The only thing I really do is just clear my apps from the recent screen every once in a while.

Let Android manage things, it's a lot smarter about it than we are.
The only caveat I have in this area is an app called Greenify. I'm using it to make it easier to stop a few apps from running in the background when I'm not using them - in particular an app called "Viki" (provides access to TV/movies from Asia) that is endlessly active in the background for no good reason and keeps my phone from getting into deep sleep. So I tell the Greenify app to hibernate it when I'm not using it, and deep sleep is back and battery life is good again.
But I agree strongly that using "active" task managers that try to manage your apps for you are not necessary, and can be detrimental on Android.

As he stated in the OP, he already users greenify.
I agree, task killers are stupid. The only other thing I would recommend besides that is android firewall and an automation app like tasker
