Will moving apps2sd help overall performance?

From what I can gather on the Android operating system is that it's unnecessary to run a task killer because the OS will prioritize what applications need to be running to suit your needs/experience at that particular moment and kill all others.

Furthermore the operating system will use the remaining phone memory as "swap memory" when RAM becomes scarce.

If this is true, could moving all your apps to the sd card effectively double your available "RAM"???

If not, would it be possible to implement this into a custom rom (bugless perhaps)???

Essentially all your apps would run from your sd card and if possible the entire OS.

I probably don't know what I'm talking about but I was curious.

 

I've had a couple old win mobile phones before and when you open the task manager you see apps you didn't use be opened as well. I guess this comes with the ability to multi-task.

I was like you before mad that there were a bunch of apps opened that I hadn't used. Then I uninstalled my task killer and noticed that there is no change in performance at all, as a matter of fact it made experience on the phone better because apps wouldn't have to reload all the time.

I'm more concerned about the later part of this post though as far as being able to take advantage of the remaining available resources if you moved all your apps and even the OS (if possible) to the SD card completely.

 

that's a script edit in bugless... rmmp3 (removes AmazonMP3 App)

 

no problem

 

had this posted for awhile now with no responses to my original question...

I think it can be done but I doubt anyone is seriously pursuing what I proposed.
