[Galaxy S II General] TheSaw:
You have a valid point, but most of the time those apps don't do anything critical that it would hurt to interrupt. I usually prefer to exit them normally, but sometimes I just kill it, like when I forgot the Messages / Internet open. No need to paranoia though, leaving a few open won't kill your battery.
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
That's exactly what I needed. There are some apps, like SetCPU, TB, Root Explorer, which can be added to SuperUser authorization and it won't get killed by anything unless someone manually kills it. I'd really really like to know how to add an app under SuperUser or anything which will do the job to add the app in to the OS and which can't be killed by any Task Killer or anything.

Besides I also hate those Task Killer apps, they are meaningless unless an user do nothing regularly with his/her phone.

I've no Task Killer installed but once I used the built in Memory Clear feature and next day my schedule app got closed. From then I never touched it. But one thing if RAM usage goes above 400 MB I think sometime its good to clear the memory as it will help to refresh it. But Samsung should had put the Memory Clear feature more precisely.

That would be' appreciated... FB app keeps closing on it's own, and I do not get my notifications., updates etc...
[Galaxy S II General] bilboa1:
it happens every day that apps dont behave and you're happilly killing them

i like samsung's button for that. no extra app trying to be smart etc. just kill stuff u like, or kill all. Cool. Including background stuff.

You certainly don't need to do it every time u put the phone away but hey, if you don't wanna check if w/e you know won't behave failed again.. (hello wifi sharing ;-) u just do it anyway.
[Galaxy S II General] asdfasd2:
I force close "words with friends" because it's a horribly written app that all my friends play and kills my battery even when running in the background with the game notifications turned off.
[Galaxy S II General] Hamst0r:
Interesting! But for example mobileNavigator navigon always runs in background when you close it and it drains 1-5 % cpu. So how to completely close it without task killer? And how do I know which app doesnt drain cpu in background?
[Galaxy S II General] tommo123:
i use a task manager for control - and to kill things at startup.

i don't want every app i have installed running when the phone boots up. that's idiotic.

we really need a msconfig type of app to tell certain things not to start up with the phone. only run when you tell it to run.
[Galaxy S II General] _gege:
Selective killing

I would agree if we had genuine pure android phone like nexus.

But actually, we end up with samsung apps and carrier apps, which can't be uninstalled, and don't necessarily follow android app developpement good practice.

Killing an inactive app to free memory is stupid yes, it won't speed up anything, won't save cpu, and if you need to use the app later, will end up using more cpu out of reloading/re initializing the app.

But killing carrier apps which use data connection for no good reason save both your battery and data plan cap. We are not on pc, where auto-update apps running in background are mostly a boot time annoyance.

Now, I never use the 'kill all', because after that some process auto restart.

for example, it's impossible to kill 'wifi sharing', but you can kill 'wifi sharing manager'. If you kill 'wifi sharing', it not only restart, but also restart 'wifi sharing manager'.

Some apps and process restart only when you shut down/start the phone, some others when you activate/deactivate wifi, blue tooth, run Maps, connect to pc with USB etc....

I'm still learning how to control all that, but selective killing of unwanted/unneeded process allow me to to stay two or three days away from the plug. Ok, I don't have a lot to sync, only my google account (mails, calendar, contacts), no Fb or twitter or im in background, no widgets making data connection, wifi always on, very moderate usage, and when heavy use, I plug it after, no big deal. The only really power hungry thing is Maps navigation, that I use a lot, but in this case, it's plugged in car.

When I'll know the phone better, it will be time to choose to rom best suiting my way to use it ;-)
[Galaxy S II General] ithehappy:
Well I recently installed a free app called Gemini App Manager and there is an option for 'One click RAM optimize' and it clears RAM but doesn't close apps if you add them to Do Not Kill list. Good. But I think there is also a bad effect of that appl in the Battery life as it is listed under SuperUser and continues to run on background. Uninstalling....

Haha, i loled
[Galaxy S II General] adoool92:
i guess samsung's task manager is actually integrated into the android Forse Stop app option...i dont think its a seperate task manager like the once in the market...maybe Samsung isnt that stupid as they advertise the Samsung Galaxy S & S2 as superb and so their own task manager doesnt seem to harm their performance..also,it doesnt seem to restart apps or services after exiting an app which is same as using the forse stop option in the application settings..think of it as an enhanced shortcut..just saying lol but maybe u r right bout that..

Hey, guys. I'm a newbie / junior at XDA. My english is not so good. My posting is easy to do. Just need your careful. What are we need is

Rooted Devices

Root Explorer

Framework files (framework-res.apk)

X-Recovery (Of Course)

A thanks button for me haha

reframe.sh from propc

i make this post because i ever had this problem. When i want install framework, my phone is not boot (anyway!), so i checked the problem and i get if my memory is 8.43 free left. (my system use 197.57 mB...

Follow this step:

(Thanks to propc

1-copy framework-res.apk that you want to replace to the root of your sdcard (make sure it's in root)

2-extract reframe.zip(attachment) to root of your sdcard

3. Use root explorer to delete the real framework-res.apk (If you still want to use your old framework, copy it to somewhere for future. :p)

4. Your phone will reboot. Enter to X-Recovery.

5. Go to partition tools--> "Mount \system" and "Mount \sdcard"

6. Open your Adb shell and type this

cd /sdcard
sh reframe.sh

(You don't need to type su again haha.. :D)

7. Finished. Of course, your phone can't reboot. Reboot manually.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _delice_doluca_:
i am planning to sell my galaxy s, and buying a galaxy s tab 7".. i made some research and learned everything is exatcly same but tab has advantages of having more ram (489 MB instead of 329 MB), more memory (16gb instead of 8gb) and a bigger screen which is risk-free of burning .. so, on the paper everything looks better at tabs side.. even the prices.. in my country galaxy s is 1200 turkish lira, tab is 900..

but i would like to know if there is any other things i should know ? i am still not sure if its worth of changing? which one is samsung going to support more with the software? because new generation samsung devices are all coming with dual cores.. and i am sure they have some software differences, which one performs better? and which one is more usefull? should i just stick to my phone? or should i make the deal and get the tab?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThunderOKC:
It may not be the top current phone, but it is not a piece of crap. These kind of whining has got to stop among the mass public in the world. Everyone always complaining about their phones going "out of style" when new phones hit the market. Everyone always want to rush-buy the new phones, but always fail to realize that those phones will also be "out of style" when more phones hit the market. EVO 3D will be all the rave, but 6 months later...(next year?)..maybe sooner... EVO 3D will be considered "piece of crap" along with past phones. My gawd, the Epic is still a great phone. Stay with it for a few years, for sure I will. If you're rich, fine, keep getting new phones, who cares.

souped up version of the original Epic. Inside will be a single-core 1.2Ghz processor and we’ll likely see Gingerbread. We’ll be on the lookout for a keyboard, of course, and the camera is said to be 8 megapixels instead of 5. But don’t expect too much more than that.

A many-core processor is a multi-core processor in which the number of cores is large enough that traditional multi-processor techniques are no longer efficient[citation needed] — largely due to issues with congestion in supplying instructions and data to the many processors. The many-core threshold is roughly in the range of several tens of cores; above this threshold network on chip technology is advantageous.

I believe you mean internal storage, not RAM. Internal or SD card, its milliseconds of difference between transfer of data, so it makes no difference.
