what I am wondering is what some of you would consider exclude list items and what would be ones you would use the install button for. I am totally confused by this...
Would things like the HTC stuff that always runs whether you kill it or not be stuff to exclude or not... An example would be HTC Sense and Messages. They have to run and will restart no matter what. Exclude them???
And something like the browser I am using currently.. Opera Mini 5. Would that be something to put in the Install part??
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

My opinion on killing apps, is "don't unless it's necessary". Android already does 99.9% of the work for you with regard to starting/stopping tasks. You do not need to open your task killer every few hours or before you're going to do something important and press "END ALL". Android is not Windows Mobile 6, it actually has a well-engineered system for loading and unloading apps as needed.
The Installer feature of SystemPanel simply lets you archive apps that you don't use very often to your SD card. When you need to use them, you can put them back. It's also nice as you can save different versions of the same app to the SD card, which comes in handy if a developer puts out a bad release, or a new release that just doesn't work well with your particular phone.
