Memory management for custom ROMs

READ THROUGH THE "How to configure Android's *internal* taskkiller" THREAD AND UNDERSTAND IT BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CHANGE VALUES
If anyone is looking into making a snappier more resource managed ROM or would like to mess around with memory management now that we're rooted take a look at this thread:
How to configure Android's *internal* taskkiller
Some people seem to be pretty happy with mods in this area so I'm sure it can be tweaked to make our phones better. Has anyone already been working on something like this?
Also here is one of the apps people are using to change the memory thresholds:

This application allows you to use as the default memory (for game saves, photos and more) the external memory and not the internal memory as it does on Android 4.x. So to use this application your phone must have an external sd.

That's real odd that your external sd is completely empty... But you should set your camera to add pictures to external then move your existing pics to there. Then there's the obvious"remove all the bloat". Check the thread on that...

Yeah I removed all the bloat. I'll move all my pics but that shouldn't be close to 500 mbs

Run a clean master scan as well. Clear some cache

my nexus is fully stock and no beta OS
is system usage of ram normal?
and is it a good idea to limit background processes to at most 4?
thanks

That's about right for mine. Im on PN 11-16-16. I can run as low as 800-900MB free and if I go into recent apps and clear all ill be left with about 1.3GBs free.

Thanks for reply
Actually i always do clearing apps also i use greenify to stop apps but even after that i barely get 900mg of free ram
But what im asking is that system is taking half of the memory about 1.2GB all the time is that normal?

Yes, it's probably keeping its own cache (on top of the kernel cache). Free ram is wasted ram!
I wouldn't touch anything.

It's fine.

How to to show the details of how much RAM each app is using?

In settings-> application manager ->Running (device memory) there are space ram and ram of applicaton and ram of system. (Lollipop)
How can I see the application of system section that are running
We can simply see the running application in that place or in any task manager app but the application of system section can not be seen, neither in that place nor other apps(the ram that are being consuming by system)
If there is a way to show that list. I need to show the details of how much RAM each app is using.
Thank in advance.
