Every time I tried to come back to Igo it would be closed. same thing happens if you want to surf and do other things. I hope these memory management issues can be sorted out somehow.
Hopefully xmylxgo provides us with a cab  |

Now I always use the Soft Start or Hard "Windows" button to "Navigate" to another app and things have stayed running in background on several of the latest ROMs fine. Or use Quick Menu. It's an old habit of mine using the Phone Hangup to "minmize" that I had to break the habit of with these ROMs the way they have been setup.
I think this behavior has changed a little on various ROMs as Energy has experimented with different Task Managers. But now I just never use the Hangup Button or the Close button on anything I want to leave running and it's been ok.

Normally I am used to having to and HOLD the X for it to shut down a program. I always used the X to throw programs in the background without them closing. The X being set to close a program instantly caught me off guard.
You can change the X option in the Task manager setting on the System settings page.
**EDIT** mswlogo beat me to it. To mswlogo tho you can change the what the "X" works in the setting I mentioned above.

i believe 1999tl and i are talking about something different. it's not about closing apps via the x button at all. we both had to leave EnergyROM cause the memory would idle at a high amount after a few hours - often in the 80s (other ROMs will sit in the 60s all day long). So if you use a memory hog program like Opera Mobile 10, you won't be able to use it too long because it would just shut itself down due to low memory, even during use. I was just wondering if it's been fixed and will occasionally drop by to check cause i do love the ROMs otherwise and would switch as soon as i can heavily multitask. Plus i was hoping there was a cab for the Christmas theme somewhere in here
btw, this is all referring to 6.5 ROMs, not 6.5.3.
