Trouble keeping apps loaded in memory - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Anybody had any trouble keeping any apps loaded in memory on 4.2.2 and higher? Even miui, cause its 4.1.2 also, not touchwiz.
Particularly I'm talking about apps that have notification. My example being Voxer. On anything other than touchwiz, Voxer only gives me message notification if I've opened it recently. And after awhile....nothing. I need to open it to see if there's messages. This has happened on any 4.2.2 or 4.3 roms I've tried. As well as Miui. But on anything based off stock 4.1.2 touchwiz....Voxer works flawlessly. So I'm left to assume its getting pushed out of memory after awhile. I've tried the "keep resident" option in xposed, still not working.
So because I rely on Voxer with family and friends, I have been forced to run touchwiz roms as my daily drivers. It could obviously be a Voxer issue....tho Googling it comes up with no solutions, or even others that agree with my theory.
If its the memory management of aosp .....there must be other apps suffering the same issue?
Just thought I'd ask if anyone has seen this. Of course trying other apps is an answer, but has to have voxers features, and getting everyone to switch because of me will be a chore. LOL. Was hoping to try BBM, but I'm thinking they scrapped their android app with all the issues blackberry is having.
Thanks for any input.

In miui but its 4.1.2 my apps seem to stay in memory in any ROM like 4.2 or 4.3 I couldn't really get apps to stay in memory.

Being android I thought for sure there's an app for that....LOL.....but haven't seen one. Xposed I guess, but it didn't work.
Think all I can do is try other apps. Probably partially voxers fault, and partially aosp.
Or just keep using touchwiz, which I do love the stability. Just miss some of the aosp frills and options.

From what i know Android has multitasking build in soooo it should be working. :silly:

4.1.2 touchwiz works just fine. Anything aosp ...4.2.2 and up.....nope. it works for awhile after its been open, but after awhile no more notifications until you go into it. I've tested that theory plenty. LOL
Ah well....with xposed, touchwiz isn't so bad. And a good launcher.

On 4.3 and 4.2 I can sometimes get a some what multi task like say I load the play store then load texting or a low memory game it'll resume where I left off but never with high memory apps or much actually 4.1.2 it works perfect no matter the app for me

I'm pretty sure 4.22 and up for us pushes some stuff out of memory. Maybe its the apps fault....poor coding....but it does happen. In fact, it isn't just Voxer ....I missed notifications with hey tell and whatsapp also. Again...they'd be fine for a bit after I just opened it....but later....no more notifications. I just jumped on the bbm bandwagon tho, so gonna test it on 4.3. Bbm has been flawless all day today on 4.1.2.
We'll see.

I'm still running the old Stock GB AT&T Rom, since it has no bugs, is smooth enough for me and doesn't need regular updates.
But as soon as Jellybean becomes Issueless, im sure to update my OS, altough it is its current state no where near a daily driver for me :< .
I use lite rom, is not in the list. is a great rom. I like JB but still i cant use as a daily

I think he meant where was it in the voting list. I presume that is what the (x) after the cm10 entry is meant to mean, though
I have been using cm 10.1 for a month. No issues. Look like a daily driver to me.

The rom developers say that the Skype issue is a issue with JB, maybe one of them will do a workaround?
I tinkered with JB and there were some issues with it that didn't make it a DD for me just yet. I think I will end up with a LiteRom style ICS ROM until JB gets ironed out.

So no daily driver for me. I'm thinking of buying another phone to keep it as a daily, people have started complaining about my phone being unreachable most of the times.

You'll probably be waiting a very long time, as jb isn't 100% on any device. Its daily driver ready now. If your talking about Skype, that's not an issue, its an I wish. No one can make it compatible with every app on the market.

Yes, the rom is very fast and stable, but they say that the problem is not only skype, is in all app that makes call over wifi, for me for example, i use magicjack a lot. For a lot of people is ready to use as daily, but for other not for that issue.
But still the rom is great, i try it one day and like it a lot.

i would be happy with 85-90%... wish or not, having something work with atleast the popular apps is something to shoot for... that would be like he i made this rom for you all, you can use all the stock apps, look in the app store, but hey none of them work if you install them... kinda defeats the purpose...
before you start your rant, i can care less if skype works on the phone...

dman, it's not a problem with Skype, it's a problem in the ROM or kernel... if any app has the microphone open, ALL playback is distorted.
If you don't see it as a priority, that's allright, we understand. But this denial is insulting.

Enjoying using dman's JB but gotta take it off later this month when driving more. As a Californian with the handsfree law, without Bluetooth it's too awkward have use as a literal daily "driver" (oh the irony)
I'm on DMAN's UCLH2 ICS as a daily.
Tried a few jelly bean roms. If only there was a JB rom where the blutooth and camera worked I would be happy enough to use it as a daily.
I've been using Dman's PACMAN Rom pretty much since it came out Dec 17. With Covenant Kernel v3 and thegreatergood's work with keyboard lights, everything on my ROM seems to function.
I flashed recently to the new JB LiteKernel (Jan13) and everything is working like a treat. The only reason I left ICS is because I got tired of waiting for GPS to lock.
The only issues I have :
Some apps disappear after reboot, in Titanium backup I choose the option to move the app to internal storage and it stays.
Audio plays back way slow in Google Now, Skype, and RingCentral (roothorick is right, there is an issue in the rom or kernel.)
Takes a few clicks of the power button to get the phone to wake up for me and the screen to turn on.
Physical Keyboard in Browser, can't use any symbols or numbers.. real pain when entering passwords having to use virtual keyboard.
Battery .. I'm lucky to get 12 hours out of a charge. When I'm on the ski hill with everything disabled except GPS and AlpineReplay, I get great usage... Maybe its that I have 2 email accounts on Push or wifi is turned on all day long... on my Galaxy Ace, though, I'd get 17 - 20 hours no problem.
- Panoramic Camera works,
- Bluetooth works (and after a reboot I still see my pairings)
- Keyboard lights and bln lights work.
- All keyboard keys work exempt www. and .com which is documented.
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the apps that disappear have something to do with the storage mounting... everything worked in is when the interal sd was /sdcard and external was /sdcard/external_sdcard .. Though this was in ICS, and I'm not a dev I can't confirm ... but I Just have a feeling.. perhaps bluetooth is in this as well ?
I played with rootbox, but some of the display settings (creating an mms with the phone in landscape I couldn't see the text box).
I've used LiquidSmooth and CAMP but I don't like that the battery stats weren't working.
I had used CM10 beta, liked it before switching to PAC but I really enjoy all the additional features of PACMAN vs. CM10 so ... here I am

Minimal Rom for use as mp3 player?

I'm about to get a new phone and so this one can get a new purpose.
As the title suggests I'm looking for a rom with the least amount of features so it can be used as an mp3 player.
I mean I know I can just go ahead and use it as is, but I'm wondering if there is a Rom that would make the phone use as little resources as possible. Like for example simply lacks the ability to use it as a phone.
I can't help but wonder that if the phone features were taken out, that the device would simply be able to last longer.
Otherwise, what would be the most stable, fast Rom with best battery life and how would I go about disabling / uninstalling the things I would not need to accomplish what I'm trying to do.
And which settings can be disabled without everything else force closing on me.
I think the cm10.1 by tiny has the most optimizations and will work better than any gb Rom. You can then just put it in airplane mode and use titanium to get rid of anything you don't need.

Thank you. I did nor know cm10 was stable enough. But then, the last time I tried anything close I had issues with the camera which is something I won't need anymore anyway.
Can you think of a list of apps that would be safe to remove considering my purpose? Or perhaps a link to place that has many apps documented already? Obviously I'm referring to system apps that would become useless to me

I have to disagree with my own ROM being ideal for a media player.
For fast and stable, try insensitive minimalist (de-sensed GB ROM that's quick and light on features) or Bugless Beast (AOSP with a few extra features GB).
I don't have a link for the first one but it's in the inc dev forums somewhere.
http://www.peteralfonso.com for Bugless Beast.
I can't honestly recommend CM10 or CM10.1 for speed and battery life, though it is more fun than gingerbread.
Well I must say I appreciate the honesty. I'm indeed not looking for fun on this device. Simply a decent mp3 player is all it would become.
So thanks for the tips, I will look into them this weekend

Was actually going to make the same topic. I don't hardly use my incredible anymore but now I have to kinda. Apparently my nexus speaker decided it was going to be an asshole and crap out on me. So now I'm forced out of hand to use my incredible.
So I'd like to know a few things.
- ROM "Technically won't matter" I'll probably throw on sense 3.5 and use beats with other mods I've found.
- Kernel, unsure if new kernels have surfaced and I'd like to know. Aosp and sense.
- Fast, Minimal as he said. Just suggestions because again I'll probably choose 3.5.
- Best musically playable ROM, which one would be the best use for music specifically.
Thanks in advance.

[Q] Stock TW APKS on Task's AOPK?

Hi All.
I wanted to get tasks rom. My only issue is that I really like the stock tw music and video apps. Is there a way for me to get those stock apps on my new aopk rom? Btw, I know about the repository of the stock apk, but will they work on aopk, if i put them in system? Thanks in advance
TW and AOSP (CM, AOKP, Liquid, etc) use entirely different frameworks. Therefore, TW apps are not compatible with Task's ROM.
I wondered about that as well. It seems the only way I can get clear audio through bluetooth streaming is with TW ROMs. A brutal catch 22 for me.

I am pretty positive the bluetooth is working perfectly on Task's latest release (2/15 JB 4.2.2) Might want to check it out.

It's not that. I love Task's ROM. I have no problem with the functioning of the music streaming. It's just I still get a little distortion even with the updated versions. I can't figure out what the problem is.

The issue is the open source drivers that AOSP roms use instead of the drivers built just for the chip. This is something that always has and always will plague the open source roms. While the open source files work they do not work the best. The chips OEM holds back just enough to make sure their files will always work the best. It is just something you learn to live with.

Most Stable AOSP ROM?

Hello,
Looking for the most stable AOSP Jellybean ROM.
Recently have been having trouble with everything - Tasks AOKP, Cyanogen Mod 10.1, you name it.
My issues are mostly front facing camera not working in 3rd party apps (instagram)(causing a restart) and MMS not working (Fido - have correct APNs).
I just need something that works - that is not TW.
Suggestions.
As far as mms goes are you using adblocker? If so that's why it blocks the port mms uses.

This problem seems to be pretty prevalent with all AOSP ROMs. I don't know why some people have the problem and others don't. I just recently found it when I tried to use the front facing camera on Focal (same prob as instagram). Haven't really found any real answers here. Don't know if I'm just looking in the wrong forums or what. I'll try and let you know if I find something.
Carbon is the best!!!
I've been running pac man rom nightlys for a month now and everything seems to be working great.
I've been running on Task's AOKP for months with 0 issues. *knock on wood*
I switched over from CM because it never seemed like they could get something truly stable.
Carbon
Carbon is the best IMHO. As far as the front facing camera, I think that is mostly a problem with the app itself.
I'd have to give Quantum a shout out here. Haven't had a whole lot of problems with it, and Pwn is quick to fix things if necessary. I honestly don't know where he finds the time...
Best ROM threads always turn into "pull it out and see whose is better" threads.

Looking for best ics or jb rom.

I know this is an old phone, I am going to turn them into gps systems, mainly of course they will be able to wifi. Download apps and such, but their main purpose will be for gps navigation.
So what is the best rom, one that everything works plus great battery life.
Phones won't have any cell service, just wifi, so cell phone service isn't important.
Nvm wrong phone lol

Stock rom is GB, so really not a good choice.
Best might be the wrong word, so what ics or jb romm is fully functional? I am looking at threads the ones I am looking at the camera doesn't work and so on.
Need camera to work, 4G not needed, but navigate without camera is useless.

Give cyanmobile a shot. It is gingerbread so everything works and to top it off it has many ics/jb features ported over. Plus it has a massive amount of settings to customize it to your liking.
