Close background running process

duykhang · #1 (**permalink**) 05-06-2010, 10:23 PM

Is there a way I can end the process running in background cause when I let my phone a long time without soft reset, the ram get all used although I got no apps open. That slows down the phone a lot... Is there any way I can remove all album art from my songs?

What ROM are you running? Do you have the task manager set to close the programs with the x button, and you know the album art is stored on the memory card with the music if you are using one.

Wtask does a great job controlling background apps...

I recommend you download and use htcaddicts cleanRam to free up ram and close apps and processes running in the background. You can specify to ignore or stop any process you choose and it's freeware.

You can get it in the software forum or at www.htcaddicts.com

+1 for dotfred task manager. I use it on both my devices.

simple lil task manager here, shows and can kill everything.... no install, its just an exe...

***not to ignore your other question OP, why do you want to remove the album art?? anyways this can be done 2 ways.. 1) go into the album folder and delete the file, if there is one... 2) alot of Music, has the album art encoded to the actual MP3 file.. you need something like MP3Tag or MediaMonkey..(WMP may do it, but i dont use it for this).. once you pick the media editor, add the tracks to your library and youll be able to right click on the cover art and click remove usually... if your worried about a cache of your album art files, cleartemp(i think its called that), will get rid of temp files and such and i think clear caches(cleartemp users chime in)..i have the utility, just havent installed and ran yet, but here that is too..

***added files for everything we talked about upto and including my post
