I recently figured out that by lowering the process priority of Opera from 251 to 252 the application runs much more smoothly on my device. Currently I must go through SKtools to manually lower the process priority, is there any way I can have this done automatically?
Ideally I'd like an application launcher that would allow the user to create a shortcut that would start an application with lowered priority.
Does anyone know of an application like this?

would it be at all possible to make apps stay open on their own screens.. so maybe when i see the screen previews it would allow me to switch screens and apps... similar to webos?.. hmmm...
No, that's no possible because of the way Android handles switching applications. When you switch an application, it is paused and its state saved. This is done so if the system needs to free up memory, it can kill the process, and when you select the application again, it will resume from the saved state.
If I understand you correctly you are asking for something like workspaces or virtual desktops, which does not translate well into the mobile sphere. However, you can approximate what you want by using the "Recent Apps" functionality by long-pressing the home button to switch applications. But neither should be necessary, because a properly written application is supposed to note its state and resume where you left off when you select it again. If that is not happening, it is probably due to something in the way the application was coded.
Perhaps reading the documentation on Acitivitiesand Tasks will help you understand what is happening you run an application, and why sometimes the Back button does things you don't expect it to.
Hi,
I'm using application called SetCPU on my Samsung Galaxy S Plus I9001
When I start it and press the home button to leave it running in background, it shows in Task Manager as active application, but sometimes it will shut itself down after few hours.
Is there a way to set applications to run always in background?
SetCPU doesn't need to constantly run unless you're using profiles, and in that case it may be triggered to run by the events you've set profiles for. If you're not using profiles, don't worry about it. The settings will stick regardless of the app's state.
If you're using profiles or just want certain apps to stay in memory, use the V6 Supercharger script with Script Manager - do a search for the thread and directions on setup. With the script you can lower the oom value of certain apps, which the script calls "bulletproofing". The script is really handy for other things as well, give it a shot.
There are apps that will lower the oom value, but I believe this is only temporary. Those apps may have improved though, so if you want to check them out first since they're probably easier to understand. If they fail to reach your expectations, try the script.
root
do you have root access? And second what plainjain said. I would add as well that in Android 2.3 even if the app didn't show in recent apps it didn't mean it wasn't lurking in the background somewhere.
Don't set that baby too high. After a fracked rom flash an Inspire 4g of mine gave me a third degree burn when I rolled over on it in my sleep.
Hi Everyone,
I m developing an WindowsPhone App with BackgroundAgent..i want to run my background Agent continuously, for this in invoke method i m not not notifying the task about completion my intention here is ..Background Agent shud not terminated even my app is in Deactivated state or Closing state (trying to relaunch) . ..

I think it may not be implement, the wp7 OS limited the background task strictly, If your app background task cannot be terminated, I think it is like a trojan or backdoor.

I have started to figure out Tasker, but I can't figure out one thing, and maybe I'm just stupid (or maybe it's not possible). For example, when I am using Opera, I have it set so the screen will auto-rotate. But as far as I can tell, if I just leave to another app and don't force close Opera, Tasker still runs/uses the profile.
What way can I tell Tasker that I only want a certain setting when I'm actually actively using the app, but not if the app is running in the background?

In which way did you have that set? If you made a profile and chose Application/Opera as context, the profile is definititely only active when Opera is in the foreground. By default Tasker resets settings when the profile exits. You can check this by long pressing the profile and select properties, that Restore Settings is checked. You can also add an exit task that restores the settings.

If the main profile is based on an app, the task runs upon opening the app. I need it to be based on the phone's orientation, but to only run this command when this app is in the screen. Basically it's an app that doesn't auto rotate. But has the option in the settings to rotate. So I made a touch input shell that taps all the buttons to change the orientation, and I want it to run when the device's orientation is changed. If it runs every time the phone moves, on random screens, since the touch input is for specific buttons on a particular app, being on another screen would cause random things to be clicked an opened. So I need to make an "if" for (appname) to be on the screen. Got pointers?
would it be possible to whitelist or adjust a timeoutvalue for specific apps? ex, i use utorrent to download some files, the app does not exit upon competion and sometimes kills the battery. though if i want to download something i would need to leave it running. having some form of exemption and to define a specific time frame and then have it back into the hiberation Q for next check would be a solid idea. this would allow to temp whitelist certain items that may require such functionality and then kill them after X time.
