Revision history [back]

Before 1.0.8.19 all Android apps were executed in the same 'window' so only the visible app ran in foreground and all other apps ran in background which may have an important effect on some Android apps. E.g. some messaging apps only send notifications when in background. Additionally apps use less resources when in background.

Now in tahkalampi each Android app runs in its own cover. This is great for usability, but are apps still put into background mode? If yes, are all apps put international background mode when minimized or does the last used remain in foreground mode?

I'm asking because I have the impression that the XMPP messenger Conversations doesn't behave like being in background or daemon/ service mode as it still uses much CPU resources and doesn't notify properly when having new messages.
