Force cache apps? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I love my gn but this one thing really bothers me!
Im a heavy talker, i use the phone app more then any other app
when Im not in the phone app, android caches it so i can get back quickly later
but if im doing something that take memory like browser/youtube/facebook android just clear the phone app from cache (ive tested that with the built-in app manager)
then when i go back to lets say, call log, it takes 2 sec to load + scrolling down the list lags so much! (when i reach down the list, android caches is back again so everything is smooth now)
any way of forcing it to stay cached? i found lots of apps in the market to clear cache, not one app of doing the other way around?

Whenever you are done using an app that's not the Phone app, just use the built-in app switcher to close that app (swipe the app off the list to close it). That way, the phone app won't get bumped out of memory.

Uhhhh..that doesn't close anything, just clears it from the list.

I don't have the phone yet, but in the emulator, it is able to close any app that's not running a service.

Almost a month later, few custom roms and kernels but its still buggs me, does anyone but me have this? Is there something i can do about it?

Swiping from the recent apps list is the same as closing an app with the back button.

Stock browser and mobile data issues on 2.3.3

For some reason, randomly my mobile data will turn off. Luckily, I threw a widget on another page. I have to turn it off then back on to get it to connect again. Minor annoyance.
The other issue is after using the new browser since Friday GB release. It works fine for awhile, then it acts up. It will no longer stay open, acting like a memory free-up is kicking it off. I will open it, it will load google as the homepage, and immediately kill the app. No task killers or any of that garbage. To fix, it needs a full reboot. Any way I could do a bug monitoring on the phone?
Rooted. I used the manual rooted 2.3.3 odexed stock rom that was here, and flashed the radios all using clockwork.

i'm having the same issue with the stock browser on my unrooted evo 4g. the app opens, and just before my homepage (google.com) fully loads, the app crashes. rebooting did not solve the problem for me. i'm not sure how to wipe the browser data. any suggestions?
thanks in advance.
Menu -> settings -> applications -> manage applications -> all -> internet -> clear data.
You WILL lose all bookmarks, passwords, history, etc etc.

process com.google.process.gapps has stopped

Need help, my wife's phone is stock srf 1.2 and it was running smoothly for awhile until now, randomly at the begining of making a phone call she is getting process google gapps or framework services stop errors. What is the best way to fix this without having her lose data from her apps?

Try going to settings, aapplications, manage, all, and clear data out of whatever is force closing.

I will try this later, what if nothing is force closing? The error just pops up and then lets me close the popup window but the phone call or text message still works. It also does when my wife unlocks the phone and I just click ok on the popup and the phone will unlock and go to the home screen.
Sounds like you need to enable journaling
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1071723
You might have to reflash for this to work correctly. Also did you freeze anything in Titanium or another application?
Quickest fix I've found for that Is to just re flash the rom works like a charm....u can even use the ACS Updater app in the market downloads and does the flash for u quick easy and painless

Browser keeps crashing

Since the update from htc a few weeks ago or whatever, the www browser crashes all the time. Never had problems before the update. This is not, use another browser so please don't do that.
Tanks.
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Try going to menu - settings - applications - manage applications - all tab - internet, and hit force stop. Then clear data and cache. Reboot and see if that fixes it.
No go. Not fixed. Crashes randomly quite a bit.

What are your phone specs? (ROM, kernel, radio, etc...)
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
And what exactly do you mean by crash? does the browser freeze? does it force close? does the phone reboot?
I have always found the browser to be somewhat finicky (a whole bunch of ROMs, froyo and gingerbread). But, the broswer was made to be (very) lightweight, as is the whole system on a phone, so I expect some difficulties with heavy content and poorly built pages. The browser will slow way way down when dealing with pages with many embedded videos, ads, and such.
My most common issue with the browser is it freezes with a half-loaded page (except CM 7.1 which FC'd all the time). Most all of my browser problems seem to do with not maintaining a solid connection to Verizon.
Things normally work if I do the one or some of the following...
1. ensure good connection to network (move to someplace with stronger signal)
2. restart browser
3. clear cache, history, then restart browser
4. do steps 1,2,3 and then reboot phone (usually not necessary)
There isn't anything the browser can do if Verizon isn't getting the data to the phone, which seems like the most common issue for me.
Browser just disappears and on any page. Cache, restart nothing helps. It can go to any page and just disappear. I can open right away and then it's fine. Other times I can be at a page for a minute then browser disappears. It's extremely buggy unstable pos since the update to 2.3 long ago.

I assume that means you are not rooted and still s-on. Without being rooted your options for fixing or trouble shooting are very limited. Really your only options would be to do a factory reset, and if that dosent work, an ruu.
OK. I've done reset before and didn't help.
What's ruu?
Is there way to root my phone from itself not hooking it up to a pc?

An ruu is a pure stock image direct from htc. It is what htc uses to originaly program the phone for the first time. Download the Gingerbread PB31IMG.zip and flash it thru hboot. You can find the ruu here http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=22. And instructions on how to flash it here http://pvillecomp.com/?page_id=79.

Shush! Is a an app that silences your phone for a certain amount of time. Say if you're going to class for an hour then you can silence it for an hour. If your going to watch a movie you can silence it for two hours. Really helpful for people that can forget to turn their ringer back on.

the only thing I use ROM manager for is to backup a ROM. It'll reboot into recovery, backup the ROM, then revolts when its done. You can install .zips from it. It does have ROMs available to download but its scarce. XDA site is much better. As far as I know rom manager does not install apps. I use titanium backup to back up my apparently plus the data within them so when I flash I don't have to download everything again

Dolphin HD. Not a day goes by I don't use every one of those.
I don't get why people use the stock browser
Dolphin HD is by FAR the best browser for android.

I thought the same thing, you should try Maxthon browser though. It's faster and you can install themes on it. My go to now.

New App to fix lag issues in Play Store

A new app popped up in the Play Store to fix the ongoing lag issues. It seems to work on a number of devices including the Nexus 7. It is called LagFix (fstrim) and is a free app. There was a good review on AndroidPolice. You must be rooted to use the app is the only downside. Here is the link
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grilledmonkey.lagfix

I can confirm that this works, wasnt having too much lag just barely a little but still decided to give this a try and I'm noticing a major difference with everything, stuff just feels liquid smooth
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
what lag issues does it fix?
I can confirm that it really helped my GNex. Says it trimmed approx 3gb!? I do know the smooth scrolling came back immediately. I'd like to know what it'll do if I check the "system" box. Gotta research more tho before diving in that.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
My N7 is laggy as hell and I really want to try this. The problem is that I never rooted before and will have to wipe my device to root (which I really don't want to do). Is there a way to execute the Trim command via ADB or some other USB debugging method that will not require me to install this app and root my device?
Installed it and ran it. Not sure if it made a difference. Are you supposed to run it just one time or whenever you reboot?
