Hey all.

When I'm in TM, and I shows all the apps i've recently used. I have the choice of deleting item, but these apps aren't active right? just curious about this. does clearing them free up RAM?

Don't bother clearing up RAM. Android will just repopulate it. Android is designed to work faster and use less battery by prefetching the most used apps and loading them to RAM, and clearing it automatically as more RAM is needed. Regularly clearing up RAM just eats more battery in the long run.

Ahhh, see I never would have known that. Very interesting. So basically don't even bother deleting recently used apps?
