Help which processes should I kill?

[ogami_ito]

I'm experimenting with which processes to kill, to see if it will improve battery performance. Using "Startup Manager", I see the following processes:
Dialer
Android System
Service Mode
Network Location
DRM Protected Contecnt Storage
Download Manager
IcsService
SNS
Clock
Gmail Storage
Google Talk Service
Device Management
wipeoutreceiver
DRMContent Launcher
Media Storage
Swype
Mobile tracker
Sync Feeds
com.sec.android.providers.download
CSC
com.sec.android.app.samsungapps
Email
Email (yes...listed twice)
My Uploads
Calendar Storage
Calendar
Sim Toolkit
Messaging
Messaging (yes...listed twice)
Factory Test
Google Partner Setup
Maps
Samsung account
Daily Briefing
Voice Dialer

Has anyone tried to disable processes on start-up and found out about the above?

I was under the impression that killing processes doesn't help your battery life, but actually by using CPU cycles kills your battery more?

After the lag fix, I've used "Super Manager" which 'auto cleans' when my lock screen comes on and SystemPanel Lite, to kill of things manually, I don't lie...

also, in regards to #1. Killing off processes before you kill the app.. doesn't sound like it will be a good idea.

I don't know what's needed, but after rooting my phone, I uninstalled some of that crap like daily briefing. Then I don't need to worry about it at all.

I meant to say I don't *like

If you experiment with enough processes to kill, you're going to end up VERY SAD.

OK to play with apps - but never kill a service or an app you're unsure of.

Especially leave alone Android System, Service Mode, Network Locations, and Google System Partners.

Remember, these tools will list everything - not everything safe to remove!

Personally - I tend to stay on the side that says no task killers - or - only as a last resort, and only for those sort of apps (such as bundled apps that came with your phone from your carrier) that you can't manage via the apps' preferences.

You're doing the right thing asking - but trust me - experiment only with user-level apps, not services.
