With update 10 we got the Utilities integrated into System app. Now I can stop the Android VM (alien-dalvik) to save some memory as I run Android apps very seldom.

It seems that when starting an Android app without running Android VM the start takes longer (10-30 seconds). But it works and I can live with that.

I'd like to have an option to not start the Android VM at boot but only on demand if an Android app is started.

And when no Android app is running for a certain time the Android VM should be stopped automatically.

Just curious here, how much of memory savings if Android VM is not running? I need constant Whatsapp access, not an option for me till we have new Mitakulu :-(

@anandrkis: It gives me around 100 MByte more when testing with free.

Is there a difference betweee the questions then? Couldn't / shouldn't this one be marked duplicate?

@Jolly-Jo: You are right, my question is more or less a duplicate. Searched yesterday with different strings and tags but didn't found it. The funny thing is, I already voted and commented the other one ;-)

Will close this one and add the start only on-demand option to the older question.
