I noticed when playing my music w/ Viper FX that the sound quality goes from using the drivers of the app to stock flat (audio quality depreciates) since the app was killed while performing another task (such as opening hangouts or other apps while using phone). I noticed that Android doesn't release the RAM from another app that was being used (ex. ESPN, hangouts, etc) since those apps were more recent while Viper was opened and left. I was wondering if there existed anything to set a higher priority of the Viper FX (or other apps) over some so they won't be killed even if newer used? Thanks for any information.
Think this would probably be the easiest way: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.smartprojects.MemoryLocker - the developer is very well known for these kinds of mods and RAM management. Adjusting the oom ratio will give the app higher priorities so make it less likely to be killed. I'm sure there are ways to manual doing it via adding a script or something, but time and effort for all that, I dunno if it's worth it unless you really like to tinker and do stuff manually.
Thank you, that will probably be easier way with root. Was checking to see if any way to do manually since don't need just for Viper but may have to do it.
Ah, sorry. I was thinking that you had to have root for Viper, so that you were already rooted. Pretty sure there isn't a way to make these kinds of tweaks without root either manually or via an app like Memory Locker. There really isn't a compelling reason NOT to root, in my opinion. It's not complicated (compared to most other phones) and is fairly easy to reverse. If you'd like some help with it, lemme know.
I am rooted, sorry. Would it be possible to push the app from user app status to system app (via file explorer/permissions) (such as MusicFX)? Installed normally and it works great but maybe, if by making a system app, it'd be less likely to be killed versus user?
Don't want to use titanium backup push to system, had bad experiences and will not use the app again for some time.
Theres discussion about putting viper in /system/priv-app in one of the two viper thread's in themes and apps (n5).
I still have mine in /data/data.
I've made it resident with the xposed module called "app settings" but I can't confirm anything yet

Hi,
I have not tested and I don't know if it will be useful but there is an Xposed module to keep apps in memory, maybe you can try... This module is not only for this, there is other features.
Here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437377.
- Resident in memory: If set, the system will try much harder to keep the app in memory even when you leave it. It might make the app more responsive when reopening but will also consume more RAM, possibly slowing down the overall system.

Well I don't know if this is something that we can do or something the people who made the Viper audio mod need to do. Wouldn't a good way to keep it in memory be to keep a persistent notification? It really bumps up an app's priority in Android when it has an on-going notification up on the notification bar.

Yeah, exactly that. I just installed it again after a clean wipe of my phone a few days ago and have begun tinkering with it and JUST found that setting. To OP: enable the persistent notification. That'll make sure Viper4Android a high priority app when it sweeps through its open apps looking for one to close.

I think "hiding" it is actually "preventing" it, thus undoing what you want to achieve.

I am not sure on this one. The first thing that comes to mind is long-pressing the notification, going to App info, then unchecking the box that says "Show notifications". However, I think if you do that, it lowers its importance, circumventing the advantage of showing the notification in the first place, and you're back to square one. So I guess I don't know how to help you with this part.
Yeah, I suppose we should probably move to the thread listed above, too.

Hi,
Does anyone know it's possible/feasible to be able to alter the quick settings pulldown? I'm quite used to the way it works in CM, so ideally I'd like to be able to achieve something similar.
I appreciate the N5 is still new for dev's etc, I was just curious if this was realistic.

It will happen with custom roms. Have you tried any of the 3rd party toggle apps in Googles play store? I don't know if they've been updated to support KitKat yet, but worth a shot taking a look. Apps like this or this?

Yeah I figured as much, I wasn't sure if there were any mods to achieve similar floating around (albeit for other devices). Most of the apps on the store rely on a persistent notification in the primary pulldown, wheres I quite like the quick settings pull down which would require some system modification which rules out any play store apps I think.

Wait until Xposed Framework becomes compatible with 4.4.
tried looking around in the settings, this website, and all over google but can't find a way to do this. maybe i'm just using the wrong description, but I'm talking about the list of apps when you hit the 3rd touch button on the bottom. you swipe an app away to remove it from the background...but there doesn't seem to be a way to clear all of them with one button press or motion.
Probably a tweak or app for something like that. I know nothing about android yet, but hoping for this as well. Had a jailbreak tweak for this on iPhone. Kinda odd that devices don't have this feature built in

2. What about HDMI output, especially "crop and zoom functions" which were in 4.1 and disappeared in 4.2

Hrm,
You think it would be nice if XDA actually let us know in some way that these Q&A threads were automatically created.
Anyway so no there is no 3g capability in this rom, as we don't have source to make it, and none of us own a tf300tg so there is no way we can test.
HDMI does work but i don't really understand this whole crop thing?....
does anyone else the showbox app on this rom? for some reason it says i have no internet connection but i do lol

Just a curious question, not trying to complain as I enjoy this ROM...
I am just having ongoing issues that have persisted across all versions.
Screen delayed up to a minute when pressing power button to turn on/unlock, ect...
Having a lot of persistent lock ups after tablet has set overnight especially and upon opening any given app requiring a long press of power button to force a reboot.
Persistent lag but seems to go away for awhile again, after a reboot.
Any ideas on how/where/what to troubleshoot?
Thanks

Ok, I did something stupid. Trying to figure out why my Titanium Backup Pro purchased license was no longer working and would only load TIBU as "Free" version and since this rom switched from SuperSU to superuser, thus you get that warning that some things might not function correctly, ect... in Titanium Backup and it apparently prefers SuperSU, I flashed the latest beta from recover of SuperSU...
Well everything seemed fine and well as SuperSU now showed in Settings, however noticed the SuperUser app in the drawer was no longer there and apps were still gaining root access through superuser. This didn't fix issue with TIBU either.
So in an attempt to put things back to intended by this ROM, and get my superuser app back in the drawer, I chose the option within SuperSU to remove to previous root app or whatever.
Issue: I still have root being issued via Superuser, however, the Superuser app is gone from the apps drawer and I can no longer load/access it.
Question: Can I somehow unzip superuser.apk or whatever from the ROM's .zip and if so, place it where intended as in (directory) say using "root explorer" ect... and get that app access back
thanks for the rom, it works great very snappy.

Hi Apologies if this is in the wrong place, I'm new here.
Okay now that is out of the way, I have installed Lollipop on my Nexus 5 and so far I'm loving almost everything but the one thing that is driving me nuts is that there is no way to close out all recent apps from the recent apps menu. Normally I would have had this feature in a custom rom that I was running or would have used xPosed Framework to achieve thus, however as we all know this isn't compatible with Lollipop at the moment.
Is there any way of achieving this? Has anyone managed to do it or know how I could do it? I understand that it's not necessary on a performance level it's more of an OCD thing for me to close out all the recent apps frequently.

^ ^ ^ ^ THIS!
you're actually wasting battery by clearing all recents. Sure, Clear the one or two apps that are there that you "never" use.
Just know that recents are cached. It uses far fewer CPU cycles (and by extension, battery) to recall an app from cache than starting from scratch. People who regularly clear all recents, ergo start all their regularly used apps from scratch, will enjoy much higher battery drain, so everyone should stop this nonsense. Android knows what it is doing.

What's funny is that I have the opposite obsession.. for some reason I obsessively open up apps so they show up in recents, lol
I guess Lollipop will ease it since it keeps them through reboots if I remember correctly, and on some days I reboot quite a lot.

On KK, I can only have 16 items in recents, if I open another app it removes the earliest one. Haven't looked, not sure if this is a defined limit or if its to do with the usage of the apps themselves.
I guess thats why they also changed the term "recents" to "overview" in Lollipop, since keeping every single app wouldn't be limiting just to the recent apps? lol

I figured the knowledgeable people here could point me to apps (that require root or not) that do things that xposed used to do but now can't:
•Slide on notification bar for brightness (not an actual slider just able to slide)
•lockscreen app targets
•edit quick toggles in any way shape or form
•edit nav bar height
•change recents button into a menu button and remove three dot menus
•advanced power menu options
any info is appreciated!

Users need to stop with the [Request] threads. You want something bad enough, learn to dev and make it happen. MOD EDITED - BE RESPECTFUL!!!
Most of the things you mentioned have to be a system modification not an app. Check out the lollipop custom ROMs, some of them have a few of the features you desire. It might be a few months to get Xposed working if possible even. You could always revert to 4.4.4 too.

Perhaps you can share the apps you found so far? Im following your thread bro.
Xposed is just so good, it became a must in my phone. I want so many features from it and its modules too
I search for xposed at least 3 times per day and i didnt find any useful information but a reply of rov89 a month ago saying it was going to be hard to merge xposed to lollipop because of new ART runtime. So i find this post very useful as we can share temporary patches until xposed is released for lollipop.
* Intelli3G: Your internet is set to EDGE while phone is locked, but when you unlock it you get 3G/4G (until you lock)
* Lots of gravitybox features:
-change battery icon and clock position in the info bar ( percentage + circle battery!)
-flash activated when you pulse the lockscreen for 3secs (stupid ye but very useful for me)
* Burnt toast: that was so cool (show app icon in toast--> superSU permissions)
*App settings: so i can put safari in immersive mode
Cant remember more at the moment but if you know any app with similar features post them here please
For battery percent:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent
On Lollipop the percentage is visible even with full battery.
You know if Xposed doesn't come back I am kinda okay with it. Towards the end of Kitkat it seemed like any really useful app that came out needed Xposed to run. It was like as if app creators ran straight towards Xposed instead of using different methods. I know for some things you needed to be able to hack further than root allows but I would guess that a few Xposed modules could have achieved the same result through different means. I'm probably wrong though.
