Oops, why is that? What harm? ! Anyway as long as ATK is doing a splendid job to save battery juice I am gonna use it, besides the unnecessary usage of AOS is poor, unless that bug got fixed I think using ATK is a very good option.

It fixed a Major bug regarding the usage of Wi-Fi sharing and Manager and thus saves a lot of battery.
Also Swype got an upgrade. Voice Commands are pretty usable now.

Thanks for the articles. Well they mainly said that using ATK will decrease your phones performance drastically. But which I am not seeing at all, unless and until I see it I'll keep ATK.

I'm surprised people still aren't aware of this. Meh, even I know this, and I don't even own an android (yet).

Lets see. Actually I am not much into those technical comments as I really had tough times with them in practical life, so I will like to do more practical stuff, not technical, what I see with my own eyes and thus believe it.
Anyway, still thanks to you for the articles.
Regards.

You will never *ever* notice a slowdown with SGS2.. Its a very powerful device, but does not mean you have to abuse it by installing a task killer :|

As I said ATK is saving a lot of juice of the battery. Well if it's only an insult to GS II then it's better than unnecessary drainage of battery caused by some unwanted apps running on background. And how on earth does 1GB RAM mean that it will not drain more battery. lol. Hope I made myself clear.

well,when you press back button , the current app goes in background. It means it goes in "cache" mode. Here ,current state of app is saved/persisted by Android OS. Hence you dont need to use ATK. Also when this is done , app does not keep on running. just its current state is saved.

When you open that app again , its started from where it was left in most of the cases. this way you save a lot of CPU cycles and battery. cauz starting and closing app completely consumes more time (cpu cycles and hence battery) than restoring its state.

you dont need ATK.thats it. or let me put it in other words, Just use ATK when you feel that phone is lagging really bad (which is very very rare on 2.3.3 and S2) . dont keep ATK running 24x7. on my SGS , that the only app which drains battery as it as to monitor everything for its work.

Anil, you don't have to worry that much. As I said, ATK is working very well for me and helping a lot to save battery. So unless and until I found anything wrong with ATK I will keep using it. How can I not believe my own eyes?
Anyway, we are going Off Topic.

Yes Anil, you need to stop.. He's made it pretty clear he's not willing to listen to reason.. I'm sure he did not even read 5 words of the post you wrote.. So just let it be!

Maybe the water is not drinkable ;-). Oh I read the whole post, thank you, but frankly I only believe my eyes, not any other things. I really have no idea, why you people are suggesting to not use it when I am getting a very good result! Hmm, I smell something wrong here :-?:-?:-?
