What to replace Android with?

I do not like that the android constantly keeps the darkness of unnecessary programs in the tray. clean to zero so that there is nothing to run - what if you need it?
In general, the question is this:
the same trouble haunts vinfon and ios?
and if there is better - can i install them?
and can i install which normal version of android?

I strongly recommend phones on WP. I've been using it myself for 4 years now.
The second Android phone, so there is something to compare. And the comparison is not in favor of Android.

Phones on Windows categorically do not recommend.
I have HTC on Android and there is no such problem - it terminates old applications itself. On the iPhone, as far as I remember, they are performed constantly, until manually completed. You can't install iOS on an Android phone.
Firmware for the phone, see here: w3bsit3-dns.com/forum

I strongly recommend iOS. There is a Lumiya 920 on WP and Android tablets and a phone.
Lumiya at first pleased, but many chips that she liked began to die in her now.
Androyd is not very friendly for the average user, slows down and lags with new updates.
There was a Nexus 7 of the first generation, I really liked it (until my wife broke the screen). Itself was updated from 4.2 to 4.4.4 Everything was super. When the update to 5.0 came out, and then to 5.1, it began to work very poorly. It was impossible to simply read a book and watch YouTube without long waits.
Now I'm looking at a new 8" tablet and choosing between the iPad Mini 2 Retina and Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro 8". Samsung costs 245 euros, iPad 275 euros. I'm thinking of getting an iPad. The iron in it is the level of an iPhone 5es.

I recommend trying to switch to devices with pure Android (well, or at least with minimal shell changes), versions not lower than 5.0, and most likely the problem will disappear by itself. Example: Nexus line, Google Play Edition devices, various OnePlus devices, etc.
You can also try to install third-party firmware yourself, but there is no guarantee that it will be sufficiently adapted to the hardware or not bent during the porting process.
Why? The multitasking system in Android is regularly completed and corrected, most of the programs "hanging in the tray" in modern android are just fixed notifications that are created by the system on a single application command and almost without its participation, and are updated using a similar command. These notifications since Lollipop can be individually hidden. The applications themselves do not hang in memory now, but they can be slightly cached in a special section to provide the ability to quickly return to the application to the same place where you were before.
Some applications actually hold themselves in memory forcibly using the PowerManager.WakeLock API, and won't let go even after performing the operation that required the hold in memory. You can find them using specialized applications (Wakelock Detector), but there are fewer and fewer such applications now - a constant wakelock is a typical mistake of a beginner in mobile OS development, and android until recently was a very young operating system with a small amount of truly professional developers (mainly due to the fact that debugging applications did not require confirmation of membership through a monetary contribution, and the possibilities, unlike mobile Windows, were not forcibly limited). Detected applications can either be removed for the most part (which, in general, I recommend,
General advice is to choose applications carefully.
Regarding the situation with Windows and iOS. On Windows, there is exactly the opposite problem, many applications, on the contrary, cannot keep themselves in memory, even if they really need to. Partially solved by various crutches, but generally limits. In addition, Windows is an open platform, which is now in the state that Android was in not long ago, as I described above, which means that the local store is still full of applications and really smart ones that you still have to look for.
iOS - everything is much better on it because of the same clearly defined guidelines and rules as on Android, but with active pre-moderation in place and (previously canceled) the requirement to pay a membership fee even for debugging the application on your own device. Of the minuses - a rather limited choice of devices and the relative high cost of applications on the platform.
