Catty Task Switcher
Free AppAbout Catty Task Switcher
All-in-one screen shows running/recent/launchable tasks and services, allows switching to or stopping them.
Can be used as a sort of task switcher, process monitor, manual task killer, service stopper, app drawer, app launcher, or package browser.
Buttons along the top select which kind of tasks/services to include in the display. Alternatively, search for apps by name. Everything is color-coded and clearly labeled.
To run this from another app, long-press the SEARCH key. It can also be run from a desktop icon or launcher.
Tap the name of any launchable app to run it. Long-press on any app for its Application Info screen, to examine or clear or force-stop it.
Notes:
Automatic task killers are generally counter-productive. For an unwanted active app, highlighted in green, just LONG-PRESS its name then click FORCE-STOP.
To stop or uninstall system apps requires that you "root" your device. This app helps you find the packages to freeze or remove.

Every time my phone 'improves' its os, half my utility apps stop working. Only the Catty apps update quickly. Everyone should be a cat(ty) person.
