I'm currently on Apex 10 and my phone is behaving oddly. I usually have over 80mb of memory available, but every time i open a app and close it, the launcher reloads. I also cant have more than one app open at the same time. Each time i move to an app, it reloads. So i was thinking that flashing to stock and back to gb roms would fix this. I have a old captivate which came with eclair. So can i just flash back to eclair using "I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0" which i used to use before.

If its worked before why wouldn't it work now? I'm confused with your question. I can't remember if it has Bootloaders or not, but I would recommend flashing a stock rom with out them (just look in the package with winrar or 7zip to see if it has boot.bin and sbl.bin (primary and secondary bootloaders)

Flashing a different kernel could solve ur problem as well. DarkCore kernel ,the one Apex comes with, has aggressive LMK (low memory killer) settings which is y ur facing that side effect. If u'd want max performance then go for the latest talon 0.5.1.2 - 1200 (big mem if u want an extra 13mb free ram and don't intend to use 720p video recording as it disables it) and once done with flashing talon in cwm look for MemoryFreak in ur apps where adjust background apps to 48 , zram to 160 and swappines to 50. Apply and restart.
After all this u'd still not like how it works I'd reflash Apex, but starting from the roots ( back to stock ) and clearing all (data,cache and dalvik) followed by apex ,and offcourse make sure u have gb bootloaders :)

Thank you

Thank you. I decided to follow your advice and install talon. Before that, just to be safe, i decided to disable lagfix. Disabling the lagfix fixed all my problems. The phone is now more responsive than ever.
