BCM ICS - Lock phone app to memory - Desire General

I'm using BCM ICS 4.1U2 and obviously the phone is a bit more busy changing apps than with CM7 as ICS is just more demanding on the memory. At least that is my impression/reasoning. One side effect of this is that when there's an incoming call, even though the phone starts ringing immediately, the actual phone app (picture of caller, buttons etc) needs a couple of seconds(!) to load. That is not cool. Is there any way to lock the phone app in memory to avoid this?
EDIT: found out that you can you can apparently lock an app in memory using a build.prop modification. I have now created /data/local.prop with this content:
sys.keep_app_1=com.android.phone

Will that be enough?

Well just create a file named local people and paste the content in my 1st post. Then put it into the /data dir. But - I still don't know if it will work as intended.

Could you please provide that file as many people would be thankfull to that?
Thanks in advance!

I don't want to sound rude but I think if someone can't create a simple file like this he should not tinker with build props...

I think you lock the wrong things, com.android.phone is for mobile network, for the dialer, i think is com.android.contacts.

(Help) louder volume through hex

If I was to even try this what file would it be stored in. I know there's the louder volume hack I just don't have money and look for an alternate way to sent the volume. Or is there even a way to do it through cdma or qpst

uh yeah dude... you've already made that painfully clear
Yea well it seems your the only one that answers and no one helps so I will keep repeating that I will pay for such a mod personally made for the evo to mod volume
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
i guessing it would just be an edit like it was way back when on the MT3G. i dont see why this wouldnt work. maybe i can look into some old threads and experiment on my evo.
i did find kernel made my toast that does turn the volume up a little bit just not enough and if i knew more apps out the file structure and so on i would look into this n eddy mean 01 of the files in the system but i'm not that talented what i cn do is see if someone by chance know what file it is stored in for volume information i could figure it out from there

How to install
First and foremost. Check to see if these tones are titled the same as yours. They may vary. If not, just rename them to match yours.
1. Download tone
2. I recommend renaming the original tone with a .bak ending, just Incase you want to use it again.
3. Copy and paiste the new one in the system/media/audio/ui folder.
4. Fix permissions like usual
5. Reboot
------------------------------------------------
Ringtones
These have to go into the system/media/audio/ringtone folder. Fix permission
Or
Create a ringtone folder on your SD card. You wont loose them this way. No need to fix permission
Feel free to share your tones here

Should be possible. Ill make a blank one when I get home tonight. You can just fill in the folder with what you want. Its basically the same as my lock screen zips, just change the destinatinon folder to what you want using 7zip on your PC.

There's one (blank zip) been posted for awhile in the development thread.

Here's what I used for most of my system sounds, and charger connect. Really annoying, but fun to play with. You just keep tapping the back button and zap lasers at people.

[Q] sound customization apps and autocorrect q

Tried searching but I don't think I'm using the right terms.
1) is there a way to change the default TW screen press sound? I'm a bit of a Star Trek nerd and want the TNG-era computer sound for my screen presses
2) what causes damn near every app I have to run in the background when there isn't a need for it to do so (for example, Inotia4 rpg) and how do I stop them without having to freeze them?
3) how do I make autocorrect replace typos automatically without me having to click the correction in the word list?
4) why is this phone so damn awesome?
Thanks and don't flame too hard if I missed stuff via search... xda-ing when the boss isn't looking is kinda hard.

1. Yes. You can overwrite the touch sounds if you're rooted.
2. If you don't close the app after using it, it's going to run in the background. It will usually stay cached, but you need to watch out for some apps that actually run and drain battery from the background.
3. Depending on your keyboard, there should be an option that lets you do that.
4. Because it's part of the Galaxy S series
Re #2, thats the thing. Most is stock crap running in the background but why do apps that I havent ran, like inotia4 and other games running too? Is it because I'm using a task killer (to monitor free ram, not to auto terminate stuff)?
Re #3, I'm using the stock sgs3 keyboard and cant find the settings. Heh

Location

Everytime I unlock my note 2 the location icon comes up literatly every time, If I lock the device and then unlock it 10 seconds later its there, I can understand doing it if it was 15 mins or so.
Would this be an app doing this or is it just a samsung thing? Is there a way to tell or does everyones phone do this?

check if you have some weather app which refresh itself everytime you unlock the screen.
this is not samsung thing, I faced the same thing with some weather apps
I only have two weather apps, BBC and notification weather bother are set as 2 and 4 hours refresh time. Any other clues or apps I can find out using this?

Most likely an app and unless I do a lot of digging (I can't remember the apps name) I would shut off GPS unless needed... Essentials there is an app that can observe your wake lock behaviors and determine what the culprit is (I.e. which app is causing the GPS to trigger).. No one can really help you figure out a solution without knowing this info either... Do some research and see if you can't figure it out as I will in spare time try my best to point you in a better direction

Thank you for the honesty I have had a look at some apps and most weather have hour refresh rates. I thoght automate it could of been it but force closed it and it isn't that app either. Dont know why so many apps are allowed access to this stuff when they don't need it.

I do read them but unless you want the app what can you do? Heck if I read them I would only proberbly have one or two apps installed as all apps ask for loads of permissions they don't need at all that's what I meant.
Anyway found the app, sense v2 flip clock thought it looked the best out of all the look alikes. Gone back to beautiful widgets now and ain't had the location thing back yet. Strange because there is an option to update upon unlocking and I had unticked that so I guess it ignores your preferences.

Hardware keys

Anyone knows why the HTC one m8 stock version the keys at the bottom dissappear in a lot of the apps like Internet and much more, I have use 3 roms alright currently on Insertcoin and they all have the keys permanently there taking more space of the screen is kind of annoying lol. Anyways anyone knows something about it.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I can't speak to the Internet app, as I use Chrome, and it doesn't do this. Are you talking about the immersive mode of fullscreen apps, like Google Play Books or YouTube? That's by design.
Although, I can't imagine the Internet app is supposed to do that... Sorry I can't offer much help. Maybe you could list some more apps that do it. What stock rom are you on? (Rogers, AT&T, etc)
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using XDA Premium HD app
I moved this to Q&A since it's a question. My attempt to answer your question:
I've noticed that some apps have built in menu functions and will turn off the keys. The custom ROMs probably have a toggle set that keeps the keys there not matter what. That's my guess without more info.
