I've not had any problems with this one. It lists all the things it can kill and you select the ones you want. It has never disabled anything the phone needed.

I usually just run it when I notice the phone is slowing down when I'm listening to Pandora and browsing/posting on the forums.

Though some things (like the weather widget) do start themselves back up, not everything does right away so it does help.

YMMV

edit - I have an htc incredible, by the way.

You must not have many apps.. not that you have much choice with only like 100mb stock for that.

That's the one thing I think they messed up on with the Desire, it should have at least 1gb internal. It's just not practical, even with 2.2 you can't store 100% of the application/data on SD.

Not an app, but you can search for system updates by typing *#*#checkin#*#* into the dialer (*#*#2432546#*#*).
