But I am now using "Apps organizer" which does a good job to list/tag the applications, and allow to go to application details (where Force Stop button is), so that I can skip Manage Applications list... On a side note, "Apps organizer" shortcuts on desktop do a really better job (lazy loading) than regular "folders", because folders seem to get reconstructed each time the Home app restarts -if it was killed due to low memory-, and it takes forever when you have a lot of folders. I wish I could also drop the drawer Launcher, which also take sooooo long to reconstruct each time (can't it save a cache on file system ?). (for example Apps organizer reconstruct of total apps list, even from cold start, is 10x faster...)
