Rick's ROM Problem...Programs hides

I have a problem w/ Rick's ROM, when I open a program and I don't use it for a little while the programs were hide automatically but they stay in Task Manager.
That will be a ROM problem or a setting option?

thats windows mobile. depending on your power settings, the phone hibernates and minimizes any open application after X:XX amount of time. and thats what the task manager is for....to find them and use/or kill them

Task manager in the status bar.

Hi guys, i was looking For some app that shows in the status bar the icons of all running apps like in the right side of windows o.s., i think it could be like a task manager but there isn't some like this or i wrong?

get taskswitcher from the market.
one press on home: see all running tasks, switch to them, see recent task, start them again
one more press on home: homescreen showing up
perfect solution!
there are better looking task managers like itching thumb, but they tend to eat too much resources and crash every now and then. taskswitcher is free and stable

Nothink seems to Like me. i try task switcher But it's not precise, infact If i open task manager i could see more apps open, insted with use taskswitcher the risult are completly strange because onlt Fee Aids are displayed

[Q} Does the Galaxy Nexus have a Task Killer

I know there is a way to swipe recent apps but I am not sure that kills the app. Does anyone know more about the GN and killing tasks or open programs?
thanks

If that doesn't kill the app then you probably shouldn't be killing it.
But there is a way in Android:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications
Select the app, then click force stop.

If there's an app that you need to stop, you should uninstall it permanently. ICS's memory management is really great, and if you are task killing to free up ram then you are hurting your phone's performance.
The reason your ram is low is because the system is caching frequently used apps; it will unload cached apps when you need the ram for other things.

I am assuming you are curious about advanced task killer. It isn't really needed any more.

Recent Apps kill process

From what i know when you remove apps from the recent apps menu it only removes it from memory but doesn't actually kill the process, now i have seen the improve multi tasking thread but didn't find it too informative on how it is suppose to work.
So is there anything out there or a way to make it so that the process is actually killed instead of just removed from memory when removing it from Recent apps menu.

Isn't that what the task manager app on your phone is for

Yes but how easier and more usefull is it being able to use the awesome looking 3D UI to remove the process instead of having to manipulate your way through the system settings and what not. I think it would just be something amazing being able to remove the process from within the UI recent apps menu..

Yes. Open multitask view and swipe them away to remove them from the list. This will also close them.
Furthermore, some custom roms have an option that will allow you close an app by long pressing the back softkey.

Swiping them away only removes them from the recent apps. There is no real way to close apps in a Linux environment. They don't need to close. Your system will turn off apps on its own when and if it needs the ram. Android is not like a windows PC that needs more ram to run applications.
I hate when this question is asked. If your that dead set on closing apps then you should get a useless app call advanced task killer.

But the swipe does close apps sometimes .
Just now I hit the home key and swiped away XDA. When I opened it again, I was the first screen again.

Not only. Try it yourself: open an app, tap home, re-open app. It will show the state it was in when you left it.
Now try this: open an app, tap home, open recent list, swipe it away, re-open app. It will start from scratch.

Of course there is. But hardly relevant, because on Android apps don't run on the kernel natively.
They don't need to close. Your system will turn off apps on its own when and if it needs the ram. Android is not like a windows PC that needs more ram to run applications.

That's true. There might be other reasons than performance related to remove apps from the recent list though.

Swipe away the app in the recent list, it closes the app. It closes activities but not services.
