    I have seven apps that I use to do things like hibernate apps, cool the phone, make space for memory and things like that. I was wondering if there was one app, or just a few that could do the same job because the ones I have aren't that great to be honest. Any help would be appreciated..

    There's no reason in the wide earthly world for you to be using any of those types of apps. Let the system manage the ram itself. Read this post from reddit for a good analogy:

    So, imagine you have a store full of books. Most of the books are in storage. So when someone walks in and says "I want Book Y" you walk to the storage, get up on a ladder, grab Book Y and go back and give it to them.

    Then the next 10 customers walk in and ask for Book Y, and one customer asks for Book L. So you're smart and instead of continuing to go back to storage and grabbing Book Y 10 times you just grab a bunch of Book Y once and keep a bunch on a small shelf nearby. You still get stuck grabbing Book L from storage because it's less common so you weren't ready. But at least when people ask for Book Y you don't have to go to storage.

    This is obviously a better system. You can be faster at selling because a bunch of Book Y is on a nearby shelf and people keep asking for Book Y. No need to go to storage except for sometimes.

    Now imagine some asshole comes in and takes all of the books off that nearby shelf every single ****ing time you stock it up. Literally you HAVE to walk all the way to storage every time because of this idiot. This guy claims he's helping to "keep your shelf clean". Meanwhile you're TRYING to use that shelf to store best-seller books.

    That idiot is a RAM cleaner. Don't hire that idiot.

    I've had apps like that over the years and they take up memory and other things. Clear up app data and cache regularly. Delete apps if they haven't been used in a while. Make a note of passwords for apps if clearing app data makes you start from scratch. Invest in a SD card that will expand your current memory if your handset allows it.
