Hello!
I am asking myself if it's possible to set the background processes limit to "no limit"?
I just wanna try this because Opera Mobile is always getting closed while switching to an other app. So every time i start a download Opera cancels that download after running an other app like Taptu.
The build in browser can handle this much better. Also the download shows up in the status bar. But it doesn't download every file. Opera is afaik the only browser which is able to load evrry filE as on PC.
So i am asking you if you have any suggestions to this?
Greetings, Red
It is possible with JKays framework to register specific apps as service!

Is it possible to makean exception for some apps to not be killed ever in Android. The reason why I ask is because the stock browser cannot download all file types. Specially files from filesharing websites,such as uploaded.to, filesonic and a lot of other ones. That's extremely important to me. The only browser which handles these files properly is Opera. Downloads in Opera are managed with the browser environment unlike the stock browser which continues downloads in the OS even after the browser is terminated. Opera doesn't stay alive for too long tthough. So for downloading huge files I have to leave it open the whole time while the download completes. If I switch apps Opera gets terminated after some time and there goes my download. Can I somehow set an exception for this app?
Second question: Can someone tell me why cut the rope doesn't work on the the Tab. Both stock honeycomb and touchwiz are unable to run the game. It FCs as soon as I tap on it.that's the only game I play lol
What I looking for is for one of those simple small size facebook wrappers apps. Basically it just loads the mobile version of facebook. One thing is that I want to be able to install multiple versions of it. So if I change the pakkage name to something like com.facebook.one and then I could rename it to com.facebook.two and installed another copy of it. That way I could use multiple accounts without having to login and logout each time.
why don't you use different browser such as opera mini, opera mobile, dolphin browser, firefox?

Was doing that at first and just had tons of browsers installed when I just needed to load 1 site. I was hoping to decrease the installation size. Browsers usually are over 1MB in size atleast. Most of the wrappers are average about 70KB in size. So even if i installed 10 wrappers wouldn't equal to the size of 1 of the other browsers.

I was also suffering from the same.
1, I tried the simple ApkEditor method to change the package name, etc -> was not success
2, I found an external clone for Facebook which has solved my issue and now I have 3 Facebooks on my phone. Google this: "Facebook Clone (Facebook2) Mod Theme Blue + Official"
I hope this helps you
For whatever reason every browser I try reloads tabs when I leave the browser. It's REALLY annoying - I'm stuck on edge most of the time, and finding out that my tabs suddenly reload just because I switched to twitter for a second.
I tried to pretty much disable the LMK, and it still did this...
I tried Chrome, Browser Plus, stock ICS browser, Dolphin and Opera (which does this slightly less often) Last time I had this problem was on my old tablet with only 256 MB of RAM. (Which still did this less often than the Note on ICS)
Every time this happened, I had at least 120 MB of ram free. Seriously, the note has a full gigabyte of ram, and yet this happens.
This doesn't happen to me on GB.
Is there anything I can do to make browsing normal again?
Like, exclude a browser from getting killed, or something?
I'm using a Galaxy Note..
Help please?
I tried all that I could, but was still unable to solve this problem.
I now had to downgrade to Gingerbread because of this issue, it is REALLY annoying.
I just want to multi task on my device...
I actually had tabs reload while I was still in the browser! Is there ANYTHING that can be done?
Still have this issue. Tried every damn browser I could, every ICS ROM I could find, but it still does this. Please help.
Maybe try Opera Mini (not opera mobile)?

Opera Mini does not really fit my needs...
And reloading tabs will still be slower than keeping them in memory, even with Opera.
Thanks for replying, though.
I wish someone who could help would reply to this thread. I'm tired of having to reload tabs almost every time too.

Hi all,
just adding my 2cents, I've been facing similar issue , as a lot of us, tried almost all available browsers on the google play
I'm finally using OverSkreen (floating browser) which seems able to stay on memory by registering itself in the notification area ...
Okay, it's a paid apps
Just want to let you know that I'm not advertising it, I do not know the dev and am not involved in anyway in the development
Just sharing my findings
I'm still digging that issue and landed here while searching the web ....
Hope this helps some
thanks for that, it's nice!
though i'd really love to use chrome, because of syncing and all.
Some solution here???
Try this:
1. Download the Root Explorer apk file from the link and install itit on the device.
2. Open Root Explorer and provide the root permissions.
Now tap on “Mount R/W” which can be seen on top of the screen.
Scroll down and open the “data”*directory.
Once in the /data directory, press menu key and select “New File”.
Enter the name of the file as local.prop.Now long press on local.prop and select the “Open With” option.
Now select text editor.
The app’s process name should be known to the user. For e.g. if the user wants to lock the Contacts app in memory, type “sys.keep_app_1=com.android.contacts”. “com.android.contacts” is the process of the Contacts app.
Similarly other apps can be locked in the memory in the following manner.Now press menu key and select Save and exit.
Now system will show a message saying ‘Old local.prop backed up as local.prop.bak’. And you are done.. Reboot and enjoy.
Get the app process name with apk info for exampel.

Hi, thanks for sharing your findings... Tried myself to use Xposed and app settings to make the browser stay in memory
Works really great
Only drawback is that it significantly slows down the phone so stopped that technic
Will try yours, thanks again
One of the applications I have installed is creating an Internet shortcut on my home screen that takes me to some online app store at http://partners.handago.com/smartphone/home.jsp?siteId=2790&androidid={really long number}. I have attached the shortcut icon to this post.
Any applications that chooses to do this is extremely bad and I would no longer use the application. It is even worse than those applications that put adverts into the notification bar.
I do not know which application it is but it keeps creating it every so often (may be once every few weeks). I have no idea how to find out which application it is, does anyone have any suggestions on how I can find out?

Try to install app, that control access to internet, and find the bad app in log, also you can try to find it in settings - applications, I think this app will be recognized with you in a first attempt.

I have always had this issue on every cm9 rom I've tried. I can't remember if I had the same issue on stock. If I start a process like a download in browser or any app really, and then switch to other apps, I find that my downloads will freeze or come up unsuccessful. Today I was downloading an offline map in Google Maps and while waiting I launched a browser, Ventriloid (voice chat app) , and a bunch of other apps. Eventually the maps download "paused" and wouldn't resume, forcing me to start the download over and Ventriloid disconnected me from the server I was on.
Is there a way to increase background process limits? I see in developer options the max I can pick is 4. Unless I'm mistaken, this means if I start a fairly large download then check the XDA app, look at weatherbug, check my email, watch something in YouTube and check Facebook, my original download will fail if it hasn't finished. The only way I've found to deal with it is to be sure to switch back to my most important apps before loading a new program so that the important ones don't get bumped/interrupted. If I force myself to keep just 3 apps in use, my downloads never fail, and I never get kicked off of a server, but this seems restrictive.
Is this just a limitation of Android, a rom issue, or user stupidity? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Am I the only one with this issue, or was my post too long to read?
Short version: Is there any way to allow for many apps to run in the background, rather than the default 4? If I work in an app and switch tasks to 4 others, the original app closes and whatever I was doing is lost/canceled/disconnected/failed. Would messing with minfree values help?
