Killing-Processes Program

6 replies · 1,916 views · Started 26 November 2005

Every time i need some more ram, i have to manually kill (one by one) many processes, losing lots of time.
Is there a kind of "killing-processes" program?
Or, otherwise, a way to not load them in startup... like we could modify the "autoexec" of the phone...

I hope to be clear enough... 😃

I think that Senapone was thinking about something different... not an application for killing tasks but a way to kill all the not-indispensable tasks with only one click! It can be very useful.. but I don't think that's possible.

There's a commercial application similar to TaskSpy, AppMan, that has a "Close All Apps" command. It works well but on the X it has the annoying "feature" of closing the Now! screen as well, which means that you then have to wait a while for the Now! screen to restart before being able to use the phone again after having used the "Close All Apps" command.

I'm already using AppMan, it's the nice one i use to manually kill all the "futile" processes.

Even it would be better to have the possibility to put some selection mark on processes, and then close them with one "delete".
Like when we have to delete more SMS.

This is not what i'm looking for, but i think it will surely be easier and faster...

And the "Close All Apps" command in AppMan doesn't do the job for you?
