Anyone tried using Ram Manager on the One X? I have the free version running on the "Balance" setting and I feel the multitasking is a bit better, although it might be a placebo effect. Some apps still reload but it seems to me more are staying active in memory. If anyone has the paid version, try the Hard-Multitasking setting and see if it makes a noticeable difference.
Thanks

I've been trying the autokiller app in the play store and used the "system default" setting within the app and it seems to help. More than likely does the same thing as this app.

The new update has a lot of new features. Does anyone use this? OR its really obsolete with 2.3's stock handling memory power lol This is NOT A TASK KILLER its a Memory optimizer.
I use auto memory manager cause im not rooted. I notice a somewhat of a difference, not much though.

I have advance task killer and I close apps frequently through out the day. For some strange reason there are 30+ apps running when I'm only using 10 of at the most or a little more. How can I keep them from opening after they have been terminated???
My S3 is starting to move slow and I don't like it One bit!!!
One of the cardinal rules of Android is to never use a task killer......
As you have found out, the apps just open again anyway & all that open/closing will absolutely kill your battery life.

Don't use a task killer, especially on Froyo and above.
Task killers are totally counter-productive in Android.
Android does a great job of memory management all by itself, just let it do its thing & don't worry about it.
Never use ATK. Wastes more battery then the apps themselves.
As everyone else has said, using a task killer makes things worse, not better.
What everyone has said about not using task killer plus, exit apps using the back button and not home if you want to close them. That way they will exit rather than stay in memory. Also, if you really want to dump everything out of memory then hold in home>task manager>end all.
And it's moving slowly since the task killer kills the app so the app relanches itself. Killed, relaunch, killed relaunch, killed relanch. Now multiply that by 10 or 20 or 30 apps and it's a wonder your CPUand RAM haven't melted yet.
There's a stock option in 'settings-developer settings' to limit background processes. Also to kill any app you leave right away.

I have an app called Eva which is a voice assistant. I believe ics is sometimes closing the app when its in the background, because the widget for the app is not responsive and has no text sometimes and works fine other times. I don't know of anyway in ics to set an exception in the task management to never close this app or its background process. Any way to get around this without a 3rd party task killer? Or is there any way to see a log of what ics is killing in the background to confirm my suspicion?

It's probably the apps problem I'd contact their user support.

Does installing third party app uses RAM?
Example, I installed GO Launcher to replace my STOCK Launcher. Does it use RAM EVEN IF I DON'T USE MY STOCK LAUNCHER?

Apps only use ram when they are launched. Once they have been running if you press the home button the app will stay in ram to make it easy to quickly go back to it.
Once your ram gets close to being full android kills off apps to free space for new ones launched

When I took a look at the Task Manager. It displays nothing. (Meaning I'm not running anything)
But when I clear RAM from 300 to 100+, my third party apps RELOAD. My keyboard reverts back to yhe SAMSUNG Keyboard. But my RAM became 200+, so, are there apps running in the background that I don't need?

Its best just to leave ram mangerment to android and not use any task mangers. If you need extra ram e.g. With a big game android will clear enough ram for it

Android surely do not waste RAM. Leave it as it is now. If there would be ram needed, you will get it. If you want to be sure that stock luncher is off just delete it with root. But i recomend having two lunchers, because when one have some troubled you can use second one.

I already have Appex and Go Launcher installed. Appex opens with my phone. I also like Go Launcher and would like to test some other launchers like Nova. I was wondering what happens with the launchers that are not open. Do they or any of their services run in the background ? Do they anyway affect battery or cpu performance? Is it wise to have three or four of them installed?
Any opinion on the matter would be much appreciated...
they needa Little bit resource,but no worth worrying about. ithink.

Every launcher has notifications and sometimes the automatic updates could be set as default. So keep that in mind when you don't use a launcher, it should never show in the running app list. What I do to make sure, I freeze the app. Of course, you need to be rooted for that.
hope this helps

Does anyone else find that multiple go wallpaper shows down their phone? I'm running a evo 4g and it seems to get sore when running the mult wallpaper. Is there any multi wallpaper app that won't do this?
Not sure exactly how much of an effect your talking about but I use MultiPicture Live Wallpaper and dont see much of a slow down. Try it out and let me know what you think

Well, it sort of lags for me too on go launcher. Just get an app that clears ram or running apps. That should do the trick.

Well is there a way to set an app to automatically clear ram and running apps instead of you having to constantly do it?
Try Go task manager and set auto clear every hour.
