Can't. You can however add schortcut to your homescreen (or edit swipe gestures in launcher settings) leading to settings - apps - running apps.

I wud suggest u 2 use "ram manager" app by juwe11 from market. Its THE BEST ram management app i found till now

I am using system app from the market and it seems nice. Will try that ram manager though

I tried this for many time,bro. The background processes still run after destroyed in a few minute.

"hi bro"
Android use real-multitasking, you dont need to force-close process or apps, if your phone is slowness,you will get a better ram manager, close some process or app can be causes of unstability or slowness and excessive battery drain, 512 mb are enough for anything but if you want try this:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991276 < Superchanger
of course you need that your device is root and have busybox correctly installed

try use :::
fast report app and ram manger pro app
i use it and very nice app

Third-Party Apps.

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?
Sent from my GT-S7500

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
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

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.

[CLOSE THREAD PLEASE][MOD][APP] Floating Touch 1.3.1 (Updated: 2012.10.20)

I've finished this project, and attached the current source. @mods: Please close this thread, thank you.
Feel free to try out the app on different devices, If your phone's files are not autodetected execute the following command
"find /sys -name set_touchscreen"
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
in adb shell or terminal emulator. If it gives back results then try them out, if there are no results I cannot help "porting" it to your device, sorry.
Hi, I've read the news about the floating touch and the galaxy sl, checked the threads, and guess what it works on our phone too!
I've made an app that can controll our phone's "floatiness", it works well on biohazard v4.
CHANGELOG:
1.3.1 (2012.10.20)
-Added detection and support for Galaxy SL (i9003) and Galaxy SII (i9100 (not i9100G)) based on shriomman's thread (thanks shriomman) (it seems like that it does not work on i9100 based on feedback)
-Different results on I9000 (needs further confirmation whether it works or not )
1.3 (2012.10.20)
-Added possibility to manually input the path to the files of the touchscreen driver (thanks shriomman for the idea)
-Added possibility to start service automatically on boot
-Fixed charger connect/disconnect reset by optional bgservice (thanks alireza7991 for finding the issue)
-Made the UI more helpfull
-Pressing MENU button will reset everything (except if you entered some sensitive file in manual mode and overwritten it...it cannot be fixed ) (disable service, set value to 32, delete configuration files and exit the app) (only usable in the main activity of the app) (in case you've set some wrong value)
-Changed app's icon (thanks nishant_713 for the icon)
1.2.1 (2012.10.16)
-Fix for G3 <- managed to test it on my old GT-I5800 running CM7 and it works nice, doesn't even need the bg service as it stays after screenlock without the need of reapply (can't test for long as it now belongs to my father )
-It also turned out that by adding a "cat /..../set_write" also removed the need of the bgservice for us(...I keep this feature anyway...maybe someone likes it in the notification area )... so pressing the button is enough (altough it's saying temporary because I'm lazy to make an update for changing only the button's caption)
1.2 (2012.10.16)
-Added support for Galaxy 3 (GT-I5800 / GT-I5801) <-- Please feedback if it's work as I cannot test it. (Probably not working well please use 1.2.1)
1.1.2 (2012.10.14)
-Now supports Jelly Bean!
1.1.1 (2012.10.13)
-reverted minimum to 1 (thus allowing greater freedom )
1.1 (2012.10.13)
-added option to start/stop a background (in fact foreground to prevent killing) service, thus it can survive the screenlock
-changed minimum value to 7...values under it are not really usable
-app now stores last value setted by it (may differ from the actual value)
-added a filecheck too, and a nice warning message on failure
All it does is "echo 70xx > /sys/class/touch/switch/set_touchscreen" (xx can be set between 01 and 34)
It will reset on each reboot.
Possible usage:
-Using styluses like with resistive screens (value 10 and below) (Fun to use pinchzoom with two pencils ) <-- Thanks for domi525 for finding out.
-Use the screen with gloves on <-- Thanks for domi525 for finding out.
-Setting it a low value, and hovering over your screen to avoid smudges (value 8 and below).
Instructions: install the app; set a value (the lower, the floatier); press button to apply it (till next reboot)
WARNING: Value below 7 cause registering of nonexistant touches, or the complete inability to register any touches!! In those case you WILL need to reset it with adb shell using the command "echo 7032 > /sys/class/touch/switch/set_touchscreen" OR reboot your phone (via adb or battery reinsert)
I am not aware of any other side-effects, and take no responsibility for this app at all.
Of course all credits goes to shriomman and loSconosciuto for founding this, also check the original thread . (Sorry guys for not mentioning at the first place, and thank you very much )
Special thanks to nishant_713 for making me find out that we also need the cat command
Credits:
shriomman - Finding the method the app uses; sharing the path for Galaxy SL and SII
loSconosciuto - Finding out the possibilities to tweak the touchscreen
nishant_713 - Galaxy 3 support; the idea to use the cat set_write too; New icon
alireza7991 - Noticing the charger bug
domi525 - Finding out more usage
And everyone who gave feedback and helped to make this app better.

I'm not sure whether it works or not (if you have a file named switch at \sys\class\touch\ than it will work i guess). It basicly makes the screen super-sensitive, it allows you to touch the screen without touching it: by just hovering your hand over it.

WOOOW! This really works! Amazing! Good job :thumbup:

Wow. Thats amazing !!!. Works great with Biohazard v5. Im able to type this by just pointing at my Keyboard. Feels like your just hovering over your screen.

It all depends whether he has that file in /sys (full path in OP)
Worst case scenario (imo): app FCs or need to reboot to touch again

Nice work! Though the Nexus S doesn't have that file. D; I didn't expect it to work but it'll be cool to see which other devices support this feature.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G

i set it to 7 as recommended but it goes back to 32 whenever i reopen the app again, any sugesstions??
Sent from my GT-S5360 using xda premium

The value stays and keeps being applied but the app does not save it and I did not have time to search how to read the current value yet.

[help] ram expander for xperia e dual

I tried ram expander to increase my phone's ram but it won't work for my device. Any solution to this or any alternative to increase the ram??
Sent from my C1604 using xda app-developers app

zRam on CM 10 , increases multitasking performance, or try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2504319

I was looking for any app that could increase my devices ram size. Have installed pure performances already... Ram expander app is not compatible
Sent from my C1604 using xda app-developers app

There is no app that can expand ram only mods and if you are really desperate on ram try zipaligning your ROM or use a ROM that's zipaligned,

A “RAM Expander” (a.k.a. swap memory) will not make an Xperia E faster. Instead, your phone will slow down. If you want to have more RAM for games, try these things:
1. Long-press Home button and swipe away everything you don't want to use constantly OR has less loading times.
2. There's an app on the Play Store called “Fast Reboot”. Download that, and run it. It will close any unneeded apps in the background, or if they're being used (like Gmail syncing your mail), they'll be rebooted.
That said, unless you plan on gaming, you won't get any speed increase here. For making your phone faster during normal usage, you could try these things (and if you do play games, this will make your phone even better):
1. Download and use a lightweight launcher, like Apex or Zeam. I personally use Apex because it's more customizable, but Zeam is definitely more lightweight.
2. Download and use Opera Mini or Dolphin Mini instead of Chrome. These use much less RAM.
3. Reboot your phone about once a week (any more, or any less, will result in slowdowns).
