Re: [HOW TO] Definitely lock every apps in memory

Xposed isn't flashable mod which replaces your current framework but it works top of your current framework, no matter if it's jkay, 3minit, original sammy, aosp... so you don't lose any features of your current framework. That's the reason why i love xposed. :)

AW: [HOW TO] Definitely lock every apps in memory

I've installed it on 4.2.1 and tried to change the dpi of play store to 240. But when I open playstore it's not changed, normally when install an app, there comes a popup after tick on install, but it comes a new "page" (continue shopping) like on normal mode. Don't know how to explain exactly but I think you know what I mean.

Probably you need a modified version of play store..as system app maybe there are some issue changing his DPI

Any way this might work with Gingerbread? I've literally spent hours trying different solutions to keep android from closing stuff behind my back, but nothing's worked. I get some kind of "parsing" error from package installer when I try to install, which sounds like it might be a GB compatibility problem from what I've read. Is this so?

Thanks

You can try to edit the build.prop.

Add this line

sys.keep_app_1=com.android.contacts

to lock contacts for example. Look at /data/data/ to find out the right app description.

I have messed with OOM and ram management for years. At one point I had OS ram AutoKill disabled entirely (with the help of a DEV) and I had Tasker programmed to autokill under various parameters etc.

This MOD so far is the best I have ever tried in regards to locking apps in memory. My tests over the last few days proved that this app is worthy of it's description. It's not perfect, but darn close. My S3 is happier than ever.

I am evry pleased and want to express my THANKS to the erto90 and VillianTeam.

From Recovery...I think you might have been able to install Xposed-Disabler-CWM.zip which I believe gets placed on your SDcard during the Xposed package installation. This would disable Xposed so you can boot normally. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Okay. Tested it and as earlier stated it will end up in a bootloop after installing the Xposed Installer and rebooting.

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Bill720:
followup

Basically, you can change a lot of applications specific settings. DPI is how large or small the text scales to, "locale" probably changes the app's locale, "full screen" forces the program to go fullscreen, "no title" probably forces the titlebar to remain hidden, "screen on" probably wakelocks the application, and the "permissions" button lets you adjust the application's individual permissions.

if i press back key eg chomp sms still shut down ie start is much slower compared to if i just press home button. Hence its killed in memory

any suggestions ?

[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] nolannolan:
Hello, no one ????
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] themadproducer:
Are you trying to keep an sms app locked in memory? If yes, it will stay... persistent... Unless you manually kill it, which is what it sounds like you are doing with the back button... which is of course, how the rom and/or the sms app is written. So, simple exit with the home button.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] nolannolan:
yes im trying to make chomp stay in memory, but if i dont use back button but homw button then whats the point using these apps inbtroduced in this thread because using home button instead of back button always leaves the app in memory?

Further if i use the apps in this thread and use the back button i can actually see that chomp is rtunning occupying app 20 MB in memory even after using back button, but launching is still at same speed as if i used back button ano not using the apps in this thread

Is there no way to achieve the same launch speed using back button via maintaining app in memory, not terminated by nack button?

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] themadproducer:
I'm guessing here...based on a few years of my own consolidated experience studying and experimenting with RAM customizing etc...

If Chomp is leaving something in memory even when you press the BACK button, then perhaps this is the background SERVICE. Likely, pressing the back button kills the PROCESS but not the SERVICE. Whereas, hitting the HOME button preserves both the Service and Process. Again...just a guess here.

Now, depending how the Chomp devs wrote the SERVICE part...there is still a reason to use the "Lock apps in memory" app in this thread. It should PRESERVE or LOCK the SERVICE and the PROCESS in memory...unless you use the back button or a task killer etc.

Here's the thing to remember. At one point, the Android OS will either run out of FREE Memory, or it will hit the limit for the NUMBER of apps running in the background/foreground etc. So then it will start to reclaim memory by killing off apps based on the OOM limits and priorities. (won't get into the details of that here) With this thread's APP in place, it will intervene (I don't know how) and preserve Chomp from getting killed.

Knowing this, you don't want to add too many apps into the lock list since Android will handle memory management FINE...unless you lock all the memory. If I had 20gb of memory in my S3, I would lock all apps in memory. ;)
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] nolannolan:
thanks

you may be right, i dont htink chomp runs a service though i cant find any at least. But even with these suggestions i dont feel any diff in opening speed. I see what you mean erg android killing apps when short of memory, but i always have app 6-800 MB so that wont oiccur . i at least have never seen it. So bottom line here seems to be using the apps to keep in memory dont give me any speed :(

thanks
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] themadproducer:
Your Welcomed.

To end this discussion, why don't you run a test for yourself if you have time.

***First disable the LOCK IN MEMORY for CHOMP***

1) Open chomp as normal, and exit via the Home button. It's now in Ram. If you open a Task manager like "System Tuner Pro", does it show 1 or 2 instances of Chomp? Probably 2?

2) Open as many apps as possible, and always exit with the HOME button. If you can open GAMES such as Angry Birds...then do so...because they consume MEGA ram.

3) The point here is to purposely consume and thus run out of free memory or alternatively have the OOM limit kick in. Use a task manager to periodically check your free ram. At one point when you have around 100-300mb, depending on you rom etc., Android will reclaim 200-300mb ram by killing off some apps. Thus you will end up with 300-600mb free AGAIN at one point....but many of the apps will no longer be resident in memory.

4) Your focus is to observe the Task Manager, and hopefully at one point, Chomp will no longer be in memory...THUS it should take LONGER to open.

Then, perform the same test but enabling PERSISTENT option for Chomp so that it gets locked into ram. You should notice that when Android reclaims ram, that it SHOULD NOT kill CHOMP.

There may be code within Chomp itself, that asks to have the Process killed either way. If this is the case, then locking it in memory will not really help. I have observed this exact behavior with the app PowerAmp.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Nazo:
Don't forget, a lot of apps reload a bunch of stuff when you start them (intentionally.) Some actually are pulling stuff from the Internet and thus can even be a quite considerable delay when opening them even if they were still running in the background the whole time (Facebook for instance is really bad about that.) No app should be completely killed instantly the moment you hit the back button unless you specifically enable that developer setting.

hi there

many thanks for the thread. but unfortunately it did not lock what i want :(

i was trying to lock com.android.contacts cos of the little lag it gives when open the phone. phone needs contacts to be loaded so it will load quickly too

i have installed XposedInstaller_ and XposedAppSettings02 and have tick Resident for contacts. but when i reboot the phone and check running process in developer options only process com.android.phone running . i have to open phone to get it running ... :(

i even tried by modding services.jar / init.d scripts/ local.prop methods but non of then starts com.android.contacts . and i have not set any auto kill programme to kill it. and in stsrtup manager too it have given authorization to start up .

anyone have idea ot tip :)

and btw what are the two files that in XposedInstalle modsin Framework? i know that services.jar is one . what is the other one??
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] themadproducer:
I have never seen CONTACTS pre-load into memory at startup/boot time. So it's not really a problem but I know you want it to be preloaded. So would I.

I thought about this and a workaround a long time ago.

Does your phone get rebooted as part of an Automated schedule?

Some people have their phones set to reboot once a day...perhaps when they are sleeping.

If yes, then you could use the app TASKER to program it to launch Contacts after the reboot...and then go back to the home screen and lock your device....standby etc. Essentially, Contacts would be preloaded into ram and stay their thanks to the RESIDENT feature in Xposed App Settings module.
[Galaxy S III Themes and Apps] Dilesh Perera:
thanks for the reply :)

no i dont use any schedule to reboot phone. but however its normal i do some reboots cos of some themes/ mod i test etc :)

im still wondering why cant process com.android.contacts not get auto load with all those modifications. i dont build.prob edits/ local.prop and even modified services.jar. maybe it cannot be done ... im confused :) but love to dig deep into this :D

EDIT- RESIDENT feature in Xposed App Settings module.not load my contacts :(

I tried this. I locked TW Launcher in memory to smooth out transition animations after going back to home. Because after going back to TW,only shadows under icons were redrawing making animation stuttery,so this fixed that. But after a while I found the whole phone to be laggy because touchwiz is RAM hog and was taking a lot of resources. Games were lagging,too. I just unchecked that option and downloaded Nova Launcher and now system is working fine again,no more lags after some time,always smooth and fast and games are now smooth,again. Sad to change to other launcher,though. TW rocks with it's smooth animations.

Still,this app does the job,for sure.

Okay so yesterday I laid my One X on the edge of the washing machine which is next to the toilet, and of course I managed to push it down there by accident. Really stupid of me I know.

After a few seconds I collected my thoughts and realized what the f just happened and put my hand down there, which was kind of disgusting. Luckily for me and my phone there were no nasty stuff there.

I immediately wiped it off and put it in rice. It still worked fine, so I thought it was okay. After a few hours though I could hear it make a noise, and it was dead after that. No sign of life what so ever. I still left it in the rice until I went to bed, but it was still dead:crying: I was kinda worried what my boss might say, because my work paid for the phone.

Now here is the good stuff. This morning I thought I would check on it again, and by some miracle it worked! I have tested it throughout the day, and there is absolutely nothing wrong with it. Pretty awesome eh?
