No idea and there is a strict 'dont ask' policy about ETAs on ROMs, so waiting patiently, actually I feel good when new updates are not released once released I have a strong urge to flash. [frustration]

Make sure you exit all apps by using the back key and not the home key. If you exit by pressing home key, ram usage will increase and there will be often home crashing/ reloading.
It might be the home screen crashing or you can say loading because of the limited Ram.

In my phone sometimes the icons are reloaded after getting on the home sceen (xperia sp)

And you should use one tap cache cleaner as nitin suggested, I use it too.

Ok will make a habit from now on.
But just now I saw even if I close all the apps using back key only.
Even then the app appears on the menu which is accessed by pressing the rightmost button in android. Isnt that the button for running apps ?

Where am I wrong ?

Yeah it's for multi tasking. To load the apps faster.

After going on the apps menu, swipe left or right to close them [:)]

About killing application, Generally one should not kill the application(task) as android is designed in such a way that applications need to be in the background for quick access. If you kill the application relaunching the application takes longer time and also processor intensive and battery drainer. So it is advised that you dont kill the application. But on the other hand what happens is, as we keep opening too many apps and these things become memory hogs anyway. I generally selectively the kill the applications which I do not need to keep it in memory all time, for ex calculator, or GPS app, where as apps like email, google keep etc which I access often is never killed. But once in a while reboot also needed time to time.

the Galaxy Note Pro 12.2 is quintessential Samsung. It's emblematic of that spaghetti-to-the-wall approach we've seen the company indulge in time and again. I don't know that the Note Pro 12.2 needs to exist because I don't know that there's actually a niche hungry enough for this product. With its same-y internals and feature load, the Note Pro 12.2 seems more like an endorsement of the cheaper and smaller Note 10.1 2014 Edition. Forget the Flipboard-ish Magazine UX and Remote PC functionality -- its only two standout features. Everything the Note Pro 12.2 can do, the Note 10.1 can do just as well, or even better if we're taking benchmarks into consideration.

Then there's that price. An MSRP of $750 or $850 is hard to swallow considering you're mainly getting two more inches of screen space and a performance that tends toward a more leisurely pace. The Note Pro 12.2 is also too big to hold comfortably. Yes, it's a great go-to for media consumption, but you either have to prepare for wrist fatigue or MacGyver a rig to prop it up independently. It's just not worth the trouble. Prosumer or not, there are better, more cost-effective ways to do what the Note Pro 12.2 aspires to do.

Nokia X and Nokia X+ 4-inch Android-based phones announced: Coming soon to India

Nokia has finally made many a dream come true with the announcement of its first ever Android-based phone at the MWC in Barcelona. But unlike what we expected, Nokia arrived on the scene with three new Android-based phones. The Nokia X and X+ will be four-inch budget smartphones, while the Nokia XL will be the 5-inch phone that’s set to be the flagship X series phone.

Nokia has not announced India-specific availability or price, but says the Nokia X will start retailing for 89 euros (approx Rs 7,600), the X+ for 99 euros (approx Rs 8,400) and will hit stores in Q2 this year. Both phones have appeared on the Nokia India website with a coming soon tag.

The camera on the Nokia X won’t be winning any awards. The Finnish company has decided to go with a 3-megapixel primary shooter, and there’s no front-facing camera.
There’s 512MB of RAM on the Nokia X, while the X+ gets 768MB of RAM. Both have 4GB internal storage
