Why are you bringing back a thread that induces nothing but flaming and false information. Grow up.
is this thread seriously still going on?
haven't we come to the conclusion that they are good for some but not for all??
That's all fine and good, but you brought up Autokiller, which DOES NOT work the same as other task killers. It just tweaks Android's internal task killer.Here's my little too cents...
I use task killers because my BB v0.4 Froyo OC 1.1ghz loaded with well over 100 apps and 30 mods (verified by ME trialing this 5 different times, 5 different days, 8 different roms) WILL run like SHIT without one...Now Linux is awesome but kiss my ass telling me MY phone (mine specifically) abso-freaking-lutely DOES NOT need a task killer. If I didn't, ATK, Adao, and TasKiller wouldn't have an ass load of downloads daily, nor would AutoKiller be popping up in dev'd roms.
Now I want one of you linux people to explain why on 5 DIFFERENT DAYS and 8 different roms I didn't run a task killers why my phone restarted, froze, locked up, ran slow, "reallocated" sluggishly, and half the time felt underclocked...WHEREAS when I put my task killer back on, it benched higher then a 2.2 Nexus One EASY and everytimetime...? Maybe your SUPER "I'm smarter than you" android phone actually has nothing major happening on it to the point you when you would need one, so you never "felt" you needed one.
No way this 400+ page flame is gonna unsell me on ATK's, I don't give a damn how many people bash the use of them. Enjoy your facts, I'll enjoy mine.

Sure, it may bench higher, but its not actually running faster. Either that, or you have some really crappily made apps on your phone. Ever since I got rid of ATK, my phone runs a lot smoother.
Like you miss a toothache?
Version 4.1:
In Android 2.2, the SDK has been changed where terminating applications will not end the associated services and notifications. Currently it will only kill the application's immediate background processes. Due to this, I will be transforming and adding a number of functionalities over the next few weeks to make this app into more of a backup and application manager. I apologize for any inconvenience.
It lives!!!!
Unless you root the Eris and load a 2.2 rom you still need a task killer app. There is no way around it.
Hu? This does not compute with me. Please rephrase.Those of us who were running, back in the 1.5 and 2.1 OTA days, a "no-issue Eris" (read: "an Eris which left the factory in the condition it was meant to be in when it left the factory") know better than that.
