| Sep 8, 2013 at 15:10 | comment | added | endolith | So we're stuck with apps taking 5 minutes to open every time you switch between them? They should leave it up to the users to decide whether it's useful for them. Android's intended behavior of killing apps and apps storing their state so they can be reloaded gracefully is wishful thinking, not reality. | |
| Jun 25, 2012 at 19:12 | comment | added | DVK | @Zuul - my main problem is that (1) none of the apps I care about (e.g. stock browser) support the behavior described in CM Wiki linked - when the browser is killed by memory manager, it is next reloaded with empty page instead of whatever tabs I had open. Never mind keeping the page from reloading so that Google Reader does't lose the article I had open. (2) After playing some memory intensive games, it takes forever to re-launch my Zeam launcher. It's possible swap won't help; but I'm interested in trying. VERY helpful answer, thanks! | |

Complemented the answer with a direct answer approach.
