Active Lockscreen (it’s good, but when i’d installed it, my wi-fi kept turning on automatically)

Anyone using Phone Warrior? It is a nice app to block unwanted calls and messages and has a Real Time track back of incoming numbers based on its Community service to block/allow. But inorder to enable this Real Time thing one has to share his contact book to their Online server which is a downer.
Almost as similar to True Caller

Have a few specific needs - suggestions are much appreciated (I’m using Xperia Z on 4.1.2)
- Something to quickly sort the application panes - currently I have to manually sort apps from one pane to another. Basically I would like one pane for ‘Games’, one for ‘Communication’ etc.
- Best app to kill background tasks? I’ve downloaded EasyTaskKiller, but is there anything better?
- Camera app to automatically take pictures in burst mode instead of me having to manually press down the shutter key.
Edit: Currently, the Play Store is tied to India - so, for example, all the top Finance apps are Indian bank apps - is there a way to switch the country to US or something?
