hi,
take a look at "fast reboot" app market .?there is a free version ,dont know if it has settings option ?( actually, the pro version has settings , to be correct )
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.fastreboot&hl=en
Install, open fast reboot setting ( small gears in left bottom corner of app )Select , 2 nd option "Auto reboot options " and tick your option's ...on unlock and you can set on lock also .
If you know this app, then you will know it does not really reboot but closes (kill ) and opens up app ,excellent app .
Been using it for years (you will see market figures thats it very popular )
good luck
The free version have no settings and I have to click the fast boot icon for it to close apps.
Thanks for the reply.
Anyone else have any good apps that can automatically kill apps when I turn screen off?

most likely you will remove that application, bcoz neither it will save your battery and may it drain more battery than saving by closing app.
If your application remain in BG, it will just take some RAM not juice, and everytime single application try to kill appliction in BG with screen off will drain more juice.
there is also in built option for this if still you want it, go to setting - development option - limit background process, you can set your desired level.
You can use ZDBox, its free and have so many utilities, the task killer can kill all non marked running tasks when lockscreen comes. Check it out, i love this app.

Hi Guys,
I'm looking for an APP that locks my apps on my phone with a PIN. Entering the correct pin will unlock, and allow the app to operate correctly.
Should i enter a "panic pin" Have a preset "fake app" or "app crash" occur?
Any ideas or suggestions?

I use "App Lock"
..
These apps don't seem to have the "panic" app feature. It's the most important part that i need.

Using this app from day 1. It has never disappointed me. Only you have to start it once after restoring it from backup (After full wipe in flashing ROMs). It tries to avoid task killing actions itself but if you are using any complicated task killer then add it to exclusion list.
Trust me, its free and great.
On gb 2.3.6. No matter how I quit or clear the memory, the apps will automatically start by themselves without me launching the apps.
Some of the apps, I try to back or find the quit button to exit the app, the app is still shown as running behind the scene.
Besides unibstallibg the app, any way to prevent them from running in the background?

many apps will run in the background even after you quit, ones that wake the phone i uninstall, theres a program called autorun manager, im not 100% sure it works but i disabled many apps and widgets i dont use and when i boot i dont get alot running and i save more ram and theres less cached programs or programs i use only.
heres a link for info

On settings there is developer options. Check the kill app back button. Whenever you need to close the apps, long press the back button.

Dude, he's running gb. Also this isn't you're looking for but you can freeze apps with titanium backup. Also with advanced task killer if I remember the name right, you can set autokill for exsample every minute. Also you can update to ics

Hi developers
i have loading delay on my Sam.GS3
when i use an application or work for 2-3 minutes on setting or ...
and then back to main menu OR press Home key to back to home
i see delay to load shortcuts or widgets, or when wanna back to main menu delay to load apps icons and etc.
i cleared the cache and closed all running apps (but just system apps.)
but still i see delay.
however i had this problem on Xperia Arc, Xperia S but i could free RAM and then i could see that the smartphone work faster and more responsible
BUT now Galaxy S III (however) it has QuadCore processor But i have problem and cannot clear RAM and cache.
what s your opinion and what should i do to have faster mobile and real quadcore access.

U got 2 ways to fix this problem:
1) go to setting-->Developer options-->Window animation scale and Transition animation scale set to off or 0.5x (this should be help)
2) Root your device and install titanium backup, it allow u to freeze apps, like some samsung background apps eg: allshare.etc u can close it through there
then it can save ur ram.
Hope this could help u.
It's a problem with the launcher. Samsung is taking a play out of Apple's book here. They've configured the launcher such that when ram demands are high, regardless of how much free ram is left, the launcher closes so that the current app will run smoothly and the user will be unaware of the decrease in ram. Sadly, not everyone likes this.

U can flash OMEGA rom, for example, which has all the tweaks U will ever need, and it comes with omega kitchen preinstalled,and there U can find different kernels, to improve battery life, mods to reduce home button lag, etc..

But it may not cure your problem 100% .
TRYLag
for the home button lag - disable the home button when pressed for S-voice.
I also got transitions & pop-ups set to 0.5x rather than 1x (in dev options under settings)
Surfing the net pressing home button and find the home screen reloads. So bit of a lag which is very annoying, until samsung sort this out with a software update there is a work around. Simply disable s-voice from.settings that's it. I haven't actually experienced screen reload since.
Let me know if this works for you or not.
Try this
Untick under s-voice settings the following:
Launch S Voice
Wake up command
Under application manager go to running select s-voice and stop all services.
Go to all and disable s-voice. This will remove the app from app draw list too, you can also disable chat on app too.
This should stop the app running in the background.

it s too little delay to load widgets and shortcuts on my home screens.
and maybe it s normal ?! is it?
(but with Quad core processor and delay, it s annoying!)
I really like Smart Launcher and I'm just done customising it but everytime I open an app it just starts from the start.
I'm reading some stuff in Reddit Sync, I press the home button to quickly check another app and when I go back to Reddit Sync (or any other app) it doesn't resume from where I left. Of course I can open up my recents and go from there but I'm wondering if this behavior is normal?
I'm on a LG G2 4.4.2 by the way.
Try this .. Check settings-about phone-dev options then uncheck the Dont keep Activities if checked.. If this is not the solution, maybe the ram is insufficient

just wanna add that some apks normally do that error on resuming since the apk itself needs more ram for resuming..
I love this phone but everytime the screen turns off whatever app I had open closes (except Google apps). Does anyone know how to fix this? And to keep my app open so I can just pick up where I left off?

Hello, might have something to do with the battery saving functionality. Have you turned off battery optimisation for those apps?

Ya that is the first thing I tried and it doesn't work.
If you haven't changed any default memory management setting (see developer's settings), then try to lock the app in Recent Apps, but in this case an app will never close and will also restart at boot.
I have checked all developer options and locked the apps and they still close. Is anyone else experiencing this?
If anyone is following this it turns out that if you have a work profile and use a different lock for each profile, that is what was doing it.
