[APP]Samsung Active Apps widget (Alternative to Samsung's Task Manager): Any Launcher

Active Apps is an application which monitor an unusual activity that eats battery or tracking the application that

has been put into standby mode. This is important because some application might not be coded properly. Therefore, even though

it has been put on standby mode (Pressing Home) they are still running, eating CPU and hence your device's battery.

E.q. browser and gallery apps in the Early Galaxy Tab rom even though it's closed or stand by, it's still eating battery.

Features:

- Tracking application that has been put on standby and running (I called them Active Apps).

- Easy Switch tasks for Active Application.

- Widget to show Number of Active Applications running which may possibility eating CPUs/Battery
