Memory manager, task killer, stock app control?

I've been using auto memory manager for a long time and before that advanced task killer. Are these kind of apps even need in froyo?
My only 2 concerns are battery life and performance. Is the stock app manager good enuff?

For the longest time I did the same thing then I started heating that it was not good so on tried it with out and I can not tell a diffrence rather way in performance or battery life. So I decided to leave out off for the space even though it's not much

In my experiments I saw the battery life to be worse when using task killers with Froyo. I dont even mess with the open apps on my phone anymore.. This is because android is designed to keeps apps in the process tree so that they open faster.. However the "open apps" take up little to no memory. What I do mess with however is the Running Services. To get here go to Setting/application/ runnings services.
Hope it helped!

Synergy Sense 3.0

Everytime i go home it always says Loading for 1-2 min
TIA

do you have any apps that control how much ram it always keeps free? i know when i set my dconfig settings too high it kept closing sense and doing that.

Could it be doing that by default if so how could i stop it from doing that

Try installing V6 Supercharger (I use the second MegaRAM option, but all should work). If you make the launcher bulletproof or even just HTK, you should never encounter that again.

Good Task manager for Andromadus Mimicry 1.5

What's a good task manager that works well, I've tried a few but haven't found something I like yet. Anyone got advice.

if your thinking of a task manager like a task killer dont use one, really a bad idea for android. if you must use something like watchdog so you dont blindly kill apps. even then when things are set up the way you like it and your sure all is well, i would suggest freezing watchdog as it sits in background itself and wastes cpu.
just do a little google search and youll see what im talking about

Ok, thanks. I'm still learning my way around this ROM and all its bells ans whistles. For some odd reason though I use up a lot of RAM. I have to go and kill apps manually.

Your definition of a lot may differ from mine, this Rom has a supercharger script built in, this along with androids ability to choose what apps to kill is the best way to go. You may have some bad apps that have memory leaks or wake locks. Use watchdog to spy on those and remove them if necessary

Yes this is normal. Android and sense do a very good job of managing tasks so don't worry about it.
You can check apps in the settings menu for any apps that are running constantly, its the running apps tab...
This is what you should keep an eye on.

No apps no cached processes no ram. Can't even start keyboard

So the title says it all. After ~1h of use my one x runs out of ram while not using it for cache or apps. I realize that unused ram is wasted ram but what is happening to me is definitely not normal. After a while after reboot all apps immediately closes after use, app drawer including. I can barely start keyboard. And settings shows that there is no cached processes which is unusual. I'm using icj 3.8. Any advice would be appreciated

Tried a different ROM or kernel? Perhaps Sense as opposed to AOSP?
That's definitely not normal.

No, but before this the rom worked well. I want to keep changing the rom or cleanly reinstalling it as the last resort option, because it is the most time consuming.

Then it's likely down to a specific app with a memory leak.
Start working backwards and uninstall apps one at a time until it goes away again.

Wouldn't that show in settings running apps and services? I tried stopping all and using task killer but that didn't help

Not necessarily.
You can shut down the app itself and remove it from the list, but it's possible the leakage is remaining memory resident.

Thanks didn't think it was possible
