Y-Tasks v0.51:

Y-Tasks is a suite of utilities and diagnostic tools that are sure to please even the most advanced S60 user. There are many plugins out of which I have chosen only 5 best.

The Y-Tasks home screen shown above gives you access to each of the components within the app and each component performs entirely unique functions.

Plugins

Filetypes:

The Filetypes component allows you to view all recorded filetypes on our device and change file associations. How is that useful? Well just one example is MP3s. By default MP3 files will open in the integrated music player but now you can easily change the mapping so that they will open in a third-party player like LCG JukeBox instead.

Apps & Tasks:
http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/9299f71d5509b72726fca41aa84e24fc6g.jpghttp://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/1917bde15b28bb1d2a6666b300786f694g.jpg
This is the actual task manager component in the app. Apps & Tasks will allow to to view installed apps and running tasks and display info about each item. Beyond that you can also easily bring running tasks to the forefront and even close or kill them as you wish.

Processes:
http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/d09b0f012177b1cded6bb1fbc460577b4g.jpg
The Processes component allows you to browse through all of the processes and threads running on your device. You can view detailed info on each list item including IDs and capabilities, and you can also kill items from the main Options menu.

Memory status:
http://www.mediafire.com/imgbnc.php/ae179463b300d9092d8199f7bb4f2f0b4g.jpg
Memory status gives you a real-time view of the memory state of each drive on your device, as well as RAM. There is also a unique option to “Reserve memory”. This will reserve a block of RAM (any size you wish) and prevent it from being occupied by any app.

Download:
http://rapidshare.com/files/125183504/Y-Tasks_v0.51__INC_PLUGINS_.rar.htmlDownload from RS or from Attachment.

The Memory (RAM) Recovery Trick:

Usually when you keep using your device from 2 or 3 days, the amount of free RAM keeps getting lower and lower. You will start getting "Not enough memory, close some applications and try again" message. Only way to reclaim the RAM WAS to restart the device.

Now with YTasks you can recover a lot of RAM!!! :egdance:
I have tested this on my Nokia N95 v21.0.0.16. I don't know how it works on other's mobiles. Please do test and post the results! I do hope it works on other mobiles too!


> Close all running apps and open YTasks (make sure you have memory plugin). And select the memory monitor plugin from the YTasks screen.

> Now you can see how much RAM is free and how much is used. Select Options > Reserve Memory. Give a large amount and press the OK button. Now YTasks will give you the max possible memory that you can reserve. Reduce about 300 or 500 kb from that and then press OK.

> Now you see only 0% of RAM is free. Now goto Options > Compress RAM. Once you do that, a lot of free RAM will be released!

> Now goto Options > Free Reservations. Once you do that, you will have much more free RAM, nearly the amount when the device has been restarted.

You should not use this instead of restarting you mobile! It is always good to restart you mobile once in 2 or 3 days :ashamed:

Good luck! Please do post the results after testing!

Mods please feel free to move this post if I had posted in the wrong section:wave:

The free RAM tip works! I've just used it to go from 18.8mb to 21.5mb! It took 2 seconds!

Great tip, and rep for you!

Yes my friend! FExplorer has this function. But it doesn't work as effectively as YTasks! Even with YTasks if you use Compress RAM WITHOUT reserving the RAM, it will never free any RAM :)

Tested on Nokia E60, RAM tip doesn't work.
For changing file types, i think you need to install "Y-Tasks plug-in: Main server", as you can read here: http://www.drjukka.com/YTasks.html
Y-Tasks application and plug-in modules are all self-signed, thus they are missing some important functionalities. The main server is made to implement these functionalities, which currently include process & tasks Killing and changing file type mappings with Filetypes plug-in module.
This sis file is unsigned and you are required to sign it with your own developer certificate.

Sounds very useful. I'm missing the file association part today. Maybe I can replace several apps with this one? Thanks!
