[HTC Sensation] remus82:
You think you managed to multitask the most? Think again!

As some of you may know, from Froyo onwards, Android has an app running limit of 15. Additionally, when an app is inactive for 30 minutes, it is KILLED by the system.

To those who think that these limits are unnecessary, you would be happy to know that the founder of the V6 Supercharger mod, zeppelinrox, has managed to bypass the app limit AND the service inactivity limit with his script. I am sure no introduction is needed for the man whose mod is widely implemented in many of XDA's ROMs. See his new -Ultimate Jar Power Tools- thread.

After running his script for some time, I can safely say that it does make a difference! I am able to multitask more, and probably experienced better battery life as the system is not required to relaunch app after app. Of course, the amount of apps you can run ultimately depends on your phone's RAM.

With the Windows tool from pepcisko, I created the flashable zips for services.jar for the various ROMs. See his thread here.

Attached are the services.jar files for the various ROMs:

Flashable zips:

Android Revolution HD 6.7.2 - update-signed-arhd

Opensensation 30/09 - update-signed-opensensation

Virtuous Inquisition 4.0.2 - update-signed-virtuous

Hypernonsense 3.5 - update-signed-hypernonsense

Elegancia Blitz 3.1.0 and Pegasus 3.1.0 - update-signed-elegablitz

AOKP JellyBean 25/09 - update-signed-aokpjb

Energy 24/6 - update-signed-energy

Hypersensation v3.1 (CM9) - update-signed-hypersensationcm9

SmartDroid Beserk 2.3 - update-signed-smartdroid2.3

JBMIUIv4.1 - update-signed-jbmiui

Coredroid Sensation XE & 4G v5.1 - update-signed-coredroid

Android Revolution HD 6.8.0 - update-signed-arhd680

Elegancia Pegasus and Blitz 3.5.0 - update-signed-elegancia-blitz-pegasus-3.5.0

Bruce's CM10 - update-signed-cm10-30102012.zip

The above services.jar gives you: A Bulletproof Launcher, Maximum Overdrive (termed coined by zeppelinrox to denote the ability to run up to 70 hidden apps), and the Time Killer Killer (30 minute service inactivity limit increased to 24 hours, again termed by zeppelinrox).

For those on Sense 4 and above ROMs, a Non-Sense App Limit, on TOP of the above mods, is added due to the additional restrictions introduced with Sense 4. Read more about it here

Services.jar file:

ViperS 1.3.5 - services-viper135

Elegancia Sense 4 3.30 - services-elegancia3.30

Flashable:

ViperS 1.3.5 - ViperS135-ServicesMOD-signed (courtesy of TJD319)

If you are using the standalone services.jar file, just replace it in system/framework and ensure that the same permissions are applied.

WHETHER YOU ARE USING THE FLASHABLE ZIP OR THE STANDALONE SERVICES.JAR FILE, BE SURE TO WIPE DALVIK CACHE AND REBOOT.

Personally, I enabled Zram and created a 256MB swap partition and was able to notice the increased performance. So do try it out. Yank555 has a thread dedicated to creating a swap partition here.

So, BEFORE you download or do anything, MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP and know what this mod does. Do remember to make a backup of your original services.jar before updating, in the case that this mod made you worse. Well, hopefully not.

Disclaimer:

I am not responsible for anything untoward that may happen from using this mod.

Again, full credit goes to pepcisko for his patcher tool and zeppelinrox for his scripts. Do consider donating to them if you like their work!

Do read their threads to find out more or try out various other mods like the 3g Supercharger or KickassKernel!

I will include more ROMs in the list at my discretion. Meanwhile, do give your feedback and ENJOY!!
