I tried AutoKiller, using all it's presets on several versions of KaosFroyo and found, IMO, that it did absolutely Nothing as far as Battery life improvement. In fact I would argue that it, being just Another Running Program actually decreased Battery life.
This Task killer disguised as a memory manager is a lame attempt at a work around to 2.2's No Task killer Policy, Though in time maybe it or something similar to it will solve the No Task Killer Policy.
Whats funny, to me and anyone else with a memory. Is how many of the "Don't use a Task killer Crowd" are the one praising this app. But that is a whole other argument.
Not to turn this into a Task killer thread but, Obviously, I am of the crowd that believes this phone absolutely requires a task killer. And that all the Good intended, Google "B/S" of how the O.S. will automatically manage memory is just a Crock!
When my phone grinds to a halt or close to it, because an endless list of previously used and more importantly - NOT USED apps Won't close and or keep auto starting on their own. That tells me, the phone is basically out of Memory.
That this design fault is so easily proven and then remedied by simply killing the apps the OS can't or Won't. And in doing so, Instantly bringing the phone back to life. Leaves me wondering why Google won't admit defeat on their System Managed approach to memory management. But Anyway...
Back to my Original Question, Is there no way to reinstall 2.1? I read the Links, but I am uncertain if they are installing a factory version or some Dev. Modified OS? With all the bugs associated with them.
When I rooted, I was on 2.1 leak 3. This along with Launcher pro and Root Explorer to delete a lot of the Crap and Children's apps Footprints Amazon mp3, Facebook and twitter I found the phone ran much better Then before root.
I tried xtrasense but I didn't wipe before switching from kaosfroyo, so it just kept crashing on me. Which caused me to go back, again, to KaosFroyo.
P.S. I finally did a Nand backup but it is with KaosFroyo 35.1 , Which I will live with, under protest ( Battery life / no Task Killer) if I cant get back to Stock, Rooted 2.1
Thanks for all the replys
