[REQ] How-To Lock SemcPhone and Contacts.apk to Memory

Hi,
I'm trying to lock Contacts and Phone app to memory.
So they will start faster. I don't want to wait for them to open. ( Sometimes it tooks a long time )
If is there anyother way to do it but locking it ( like keeping it alive, running in backgorund or something ) i can try.
This is really important for me. I need to make calls fast.
Thank you so much for reading.
Best Regards.

This is no longer requested.
I did it using SuperCharger Update 9 RC 6.9 ( Option 17 in Driver's Console )
I bulletproofed Phone,Contacts and Messaging apks ( Sony's Original ones ) with this script.
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=18703418&postcount=5021
Its BETA release probably.
Thank you for reading.

I researched some more and found this,
adb pull /init.rc
replace "setprop ro.HOME_APP_MEM ..." with:
setprop ro.HOME_APP_MEM 1536
adb push init.rc /sdcard/init.rc
adb shell
# mount -o remount,ro rootfs /
# cat /sdcard/init.rc | tee /init.rc
# mount -o remount,rw rootfs /
# rm /sdcard/init.rc
This code can lock Sense home to memory. Maybe someone with skill can change it for Contacts.apk ?

Use exDialer. It can be locked to memory, has smart search and looks like MIUI dialer.

It's a good solution.
But before i try those third-party contacts/phone apps i want to lock Sony's Original app to memory.
And i don't want to lock it with another app. I want to make lowmemorykiller see contacts app like system app and never touch it.
So, probably i need to use script or something. But it also should be permanent change, at least i don't want to do it after every reboot.
Thank you so much for answering

The same.

Exdialer will still SEMC phone to make calls. It's just an interface in between.
So locking THAT in memory won't help. Locking SEMCPhone is what you want for faster launches of the phone app.

The default dialer generally takes much time to start up. So suggested a 3rd party app for faster number dialing!

Exactly,
Exdialer is Contacts-like app. I need both of Contacts and SEMCPhone in memory.
If i won't find anything probably i will use ExDialer for Contacts app at least it will quicker to find Contacts.
But i also really need to lock SEMCPhone app to memory. That's the most important part. Because i can't use any third party app for this function. It have to be Sony's original ( im not sure btw )
Thank you so much for answering.

Found Solution !

1 - Root it
2 - Install Script Manager
3 - Run the script as root (DONT SELECT TO RUN ON STARTUP)
4 - bulletproof an app or something like this (option 17 in my version)

The logs show that the script is run on restart, but it says
com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook
com.sonyericsson.infiniteview
com.android.phone
isn't running, can't bulletproof.
It looks like its run a bit too early?
I tried running it with the widget, it found phone and socialphonebook running, but never infiniteview.
Even on exiting a contacts details by pressing home and starting the script immideatly, it always said infiniteview isn't running, it seems to instantly close itself.
After it told be it bulletproofed phone and socialphonebook, I went to start a few apps/games, closed them again and tried starting contacts and open a contacts details:
contacts opening time varied between 3 and 12 seconds
contact info opening time varied between 2 and 8 seconds
I am certainly not getting the effect I hoped bulletproofing would give me, I hoped the startup times would be like you just closed contacts and reopened them:
contacts opening time varied between 1 and 1.5 seconds
contact info opening time varied between 1 and 1.5 seconds

Don't expect your phone to keep Phone and contacts in memory when trying to play games. Our phones do not have enough RAM to keep all of these loaded in there at once. Android has to close something in order to free up RAM and run the current app/game.

A bit of advice for people who are having this problem - I've "been there, cut that", and have to say that the whole "bulletproof" script nonsense is nothing more than a waste of time; it just doesn't work. I've tried every "ram manager" out there, and the only thing that has got me the result is the "Xposed Framework trick" (ICS/Jellybean only unfortunately).

Thanks for the input, but I actually finally got a working solution (as I told the member above) and that is the Xposed Framework App Settings method. I've tried probably half a dozen applications over the course of the years of my ownership of this device, and so far, Xposed App Settings has been the only thing that has had any effect. The only negative is that it does require ICS or Jellybean to install.
Spread the word, and good luck to everyone experiencing this issue.

Thank you so much for this hint, finally something that works :cyclops:
I changed
Contacts (com.sonyericsson.android.socialphonebook)
Infiniteview (com.sonyericsson.infiniteview)
Keypad (com.android.phone)
to resident and they actually stay in memory, even after starting games (not sure if keypad is needed, it isn't listed under running apps).
Infiniteview startup went from 3-7seconds to 0.5-1.5
Contacts behave strange:
If I exit contacts by pressing home key, they start in under 1 second (Android Core Apps are listed under its subprocesses)
if I exit contacts by back key, they need 3 seconds to start (just SmartSearchCachingService and Contacts itself under processes)
I seem to not be able to lock down android.process.acore with the xposed framework

How Do I Get NFC To Close An Open App?

I have a rooted Sprint GS3 and am using NFC Task Launcher. I tried to set my tags to a switch, first tap opens an app, second tap to close. The apps never close, what am I doing wrong? I have one set up to open Waze when I get in my truck and the second tap is supposed to close it, never closes, but the tag registers. Same with another one I have set to open my equalizer and then Slacker, they open but never close. Any help is appreciated.

Well I got an answer from the makers of NFCTL over at Tagstand, it looks like a week or so and the ability to close an app will be available.
Joshua replied to your question 'Switch Doesn't Turn Off Apps, GS 3 Rooted':
There's an issue with the current release (4.1.3) where root access is not being leveraged to kill tasks. As a result you're at the mercy of the task killing API which doesn't do much on ICS or JB. The next update will correctly request root permissions when killing an app (should be available sometime next week hopefully).

This is true. Finishing up a few things, then on to translations and then the update will go live.

Or you can use Tasker if you have it. Can trigger a Tasker Task (to open and/or kill app) via NFC Task Launcher.

Problem exist
You can't kill apps (like Waze & DailyRoads). Bug is still here
Yes, maybe using tasker but tasker is not free

[Q] Quicker way to get into Service Menu?

As my phone's camera doesn't work unless I go into the Service Menu and usually I forget to put the 737 in the code: *#*#7378423#*#*. This usually means I miss out on taking photos of important events which is a pain to be honest.
I have tried opening it before with Link2SD but even then it says that it fails to start.
Is there a mod of some sort that shows it up as an application or make it a shortcut?

[APP] LMK Whitelist v2.0 for Semaphore, Mackay, Cyancore & Fishears

I had a few spare hours and made an app to add processes to the whitelist of the low memory killer.
This feature is currently available in
Semaphore Kernel for 4.2 JB
Mackay Kernel (untested)
Cyancore (untested)
Fishears Kernel (untested)
You can add up to 6 apps (kernel-limit) that will not get killed if your phone needs free ram. The purpose of this is to prevent e.g. your launcher from being killed when your phone needs more ram - resulting in redraws and unresponsiveness.But be warned: if you add too many memory intensive apps to this list your phone will get laggy and in worst case you will get force closes.
How it works:
To make an app "invulnerable" one needs to write it's PID (process ID) in a Kernel-config file
To get the PID of an app it has to run
This is why the whitelist-app starts a service (on boot and if you change the config) that runs and checks periodically for PIDs until it has found all your selected apps
Be aware that the service will run forever if you add an app that never gets started to the list!
If you only add your launcher and/or other apps that run permanently it will finish immediately.
Of course this requires root permissions to work!!
It is not the prettiest android app there is, so feel free to contribute with a better layout
Since Version 1.2 there are 3 open intents, which let you clear/create the whitelist from within other apps. The intent actions are:
com.jb.semaphorelmkwhitelist.CLEAR_WHITELIST
com.jb.semaphorelmkwhitelist.CREATE_WHITELIST
com.jb.semaphorelmkwhitelist.TOGGLE_WHITELIST
BIG THANKS TO STRATOSK, the developer of Semaphore Kernel and the Semaphore Manager app.
Please consider donating to him to support the further development of the kernel.
If you want to support my work please have a look at my apps in play store (see my signature)
I will send the source code to anyone asking me via PM.
Changelog:
Raise Version to 2.0
-) Ability to detect services running in their own process (works for greenify, possibly also tasker - didn't check though)
-) Create Launcher shortcuts for apps combined with whitelist actions, takes label and icon from the selected app
- clear whitelist: recommended for games, whitelist needs to be manually enabled again afterwards
- temporary add to whitelist: recommended for music player apps, the started app gets added to the whitelist until it is refreshed
1.4
Fix wrong game mode state on reboot
Option to force greenify apps in game mode (enable in settings)
1.3
Changed launcher shortcut to toggle game mode (whitelist on/off)
Added new open intent TOGGLE_WHITELIST
1.2
Added Launcher shortcut to clear whitelist
Added open Intents to clear/create whitelist
1.1
Renamed to LMK Whitelist
Added option to disable toast messages
Added about dialog
1.0

Thanks for the great idea and implementation, this is exactly what was needed to complete stratosk feature.
a small bug I encountered:
when trying to add the phone process through the "Lancher apps" list, if i press the "Phone" button the app adds the "com.android.contacts" process instead of the "com.android.phone" process. (BTW, pressing the "Contacts" button, also adds the "com.android.contacts" process).
Great job, Thanks!

I'm sure more kernel developers will implement it...
So, why not call it just LMK-Whitelist?
Also nobody could complain if you sell it at Playstore and share the profit with Stratosk...
For more comfort you could show the real name of the apps in the list and enable to choose all apps at once.
Great job, congratulations!

Hi,
do you think it would be possible to periodically check for the running apps and if they match the list configured in your app instead of having a service running once after the configuration or after system boot? As you stated the service is running forever if the app is not yet running. If you could make the interval to check for apps configurable, one could still use the current setup. But it could also be configured in the way that you just specify a list of apps, that are supposed to be LMK safe once they are running, and they would also be remove from the whitelist once you close them manually.
What do you think of this idea?

This is just the way android works - the apps in your launcher are sometimes combined in one package.

Not sure if I understood what you mean, just post again if I misunderstood.
You can already configure the check interval in settings (Hit the menu button!)
When I say the service runs forever it means that it will check every 60 seconds (configurable) if the selected apps are running.
Not sure why you want to remove apps from the whiteliste again, the whole purpose is to make an app always running.
Android won't kill an app in foreground...

Ok, I just tried again and this time the menu button worked
I just thought about the following use case:
I want to have an app staying in the memory after I started it manually and want keep it - also in the background - until I explicitly close it.
Also if you restart an app (for example the launcher) for some reason the pid changes and you would have to open your app to update the whitelist

If you must really update the whitelist after every reboot (empty battery, wipe cache/dalvik, use recovery etc.) than it's not funny. It means everytime you must think about this.

The whitelist content (i.e, the processes that were selected) is persistent after reboot.
There is no need to select it every time again (at least according to my experience).

As far as I remember the superlauncher script does a few more things, but if you just want to make your launcher persistent you don't need it any more.

A couple of questions for a new magic owner...

Got a magic from China. Beautiful phone running on AT&T with no problems. Have run into a few roadblocks.
1. Can't seem to install any other launchers. Tried many including Nova (my favorite) and they are all giving me a 504 play store error in install. No problems with any other apps but can't get a launcher. Google Now launcher did install but only a few widgets show and none for clock or weather.
2. Tired to add new widgets to standard magic UI - can't seem to be able to do it. Any idea how? Also want to remove home screen weather widget as weather app only show centigrade.
3. Any idea how to assign sounds to email? Can't seem to find that setting. There is a 'select ringtone' setting under mail but turning it in or off seems to have no effect.
Thanks

I have read the same complain about widgets. The weather widget cannot be removed. Hopefully that would be fixed in rom updates. You can also provide some feedback in the built in feedback app.
You can go through content in Huawei China forum here for similar issues and possible fixes: http://club.huawei.com/forum-2770-1.html
There is rom update already out, which seem to add some features and also change how the navigation using fingerprint sensor works. I think the rom update is part of the "development version" and you might have to register.

Thanks for the link. Thank goodness for google translate. I also see it has an NFC radio but not yet enabled. Hopefully soon.

Apart from launchers, do other apps from the playstore just install?

pretty much everything else has been fine. I am having some problems getting notifications regularly. They don't seem to come with any consistency. I tried moving from the native mail application to the outlook.com application but it was the same - you don't have as much control over battery/notification settings with this ROM as you do with the standard XIAOMI UI.
Phone says it has NFC but I guess it's not activated in the ROM. I haven't had any problems installing any other programs. Just no other launchers/widgets work.

I can't install ANY launcher! did you ever find a fix for this?

Never did and got impatient with the phone and sold it on ebay. The most recent update would never download (kept getting communication errors) which I think had to do with the server in China timing out downloading the file. A great phone but not enough support (even minimally) to work outside China (IMHO)

It's because they blocked 3rd party launchers. You need to install it as system app
Only installable launcher is google

pretty much everything else has been fine. I am having some problems getting notifications regularly. They don't seem to come with any consistency. I tried moving from the native mail application to the outlook.com application but it was the same - you don't have as much control over battery/notification settings with this ROM as you do with the standard XIAOMI UI.
Phone says it has NFC but I guess it's not activated in the ROM. I haven't had any problems installing any other programs. Just no other launchers/widgets work.

Notifications are disabled by default you'll need to enable it.
Join evaluation experience and update it and you'll get nfc settings

Hi, I just got a Magic and not being able to install 3rd party launchers or widgets is killing me. Can someone help with the steps on fixing or installing new ROM? Thank you.

You'd need to be rooted in order to install 3Rd party launchers
