Hi
When changing the foreground app via the taskswitcher, the new foreground app most of the time (if not always) has to reload/rebuild it's screen content. For example à web browser has to reload it's page (from the internet). This is slow..
Is there a way to configure things in a way that it keeps it's page in memory so that when switching back to the app, no reloading is needed ? It would make task switching à much more fluent expérience...
How to do this please ?
Thanks

You can use JKAY framework and lock the apps you want in memory

The apps are reloading because they are being killed, stock browser for example is a fat ***** (a smooth ***** but FAT nonetheless). A few tabs can easily make it take up 100mb-150mb of ram and thus it gets killed by android and when you go back to it, all the tabs have to reload. Another scenario is android killing other apps (like contacts, or messaging) to make room for the foreground app (such as the browser), you then switch to messaging and the browser is killed as a result, to make more room

Thanks for thé idea... But for me the installation of this framework seems complicated.. And I understand that it requires à specific rom and does not work with my stock rom (international s3) 4.1.1 (and soon 4.1.2)? Is that right ?
So it would be nice to have a easier solution to keeping some apps in memory (including their graphic pages)
Anyone ?
Thanks !

+1 for DroidWall. It has the added benefit of blocking ads in a particular app if you decide to not allow it access to the network.
However, I should say that it doesn't EXACTLY do what you are asking. It allows you control as to what apps may or may not access the network, either via 3g, WiFi, or both. As far as I know, it doesn't tell you when one of the apps you allow access to the network actually does.
If you want something that asks you to allow/deny, try this
ps this was the 3rd result for android firewall, the first 2 being droid wall, just saying everything is out there google and you shall find.
Edit: well it seems twitter brought the company behind whispermonitor and thus all the downloads have disappeared, I will try to find an apk.
Edit2: it seems that whispermonitor only worked on the nexus S and one other phone, shame it looked promising.
Your best bet is droid wall, there is also Pdroid but it needs a rom patch.
Thank you
Will try your recommend solution

Well i did some more reading about it, and its more of a whole rom/rom mod than an apk file and it was only compatible with the nexus S and Desire I think.
Droidwall is your best bet.
Avast firewall do better than droidwall, it really alert you if any apps trying to make an connection on yhe the background, but avast is big app that come with antivirus protection which seems to be useless for android os so far.

Its the ram usage...the phone automatically closes other apps for freeing ram so that apps that uses huge resources like chrome can work..since music player works in the background.the low memory killer feature force closes the apps...i have personally experienced this problem when using facebook flipboard etc..

One question though, what's the point of having a powerful phobe such as s3 if it can't even run 2-3 apps at a time?

Try clearing recently used programs list...since recently used programs will be cached for quickly launching next time the user needs it.it will take up a lot of ram...also try using advanced system care from play store...this app proved useful to me and many others..if it still doesn't work..try to uninstall least used apps..since some services will run in the background and eats up ram..and still not working means..keep the post alive and we can expect someone will come up with a solution
Hope this helps..

Well i've successfully rooted mu device and i hope there can be more ways now to make it lagfree. So can anyone please suggest any ways now? I don't wanna install any custom kernel or recovery. Just wanna tweak the stock ROM for good performance and multi-tasking.
I am frustrated by how slow I9300 is to respond opening phone app, camera, etc. I am using Apex launcher on stock and am rooted. Anyone know of a way to keep certain apps on the top of the stack, so they will open without having to load from flash memory?
