Help Games close after pressing the Home button

[silvercats]

I use the original stock rom. i9300 4.1.2.

I tried this with Dark knight, AVP. The same thing happens. I want to be able to multi task !

Make sure you havent limited background processes in Developer Options mate

 

[silvercats]

Apps are there. developer options are disabled. Apps stay in the background. Only games are closed . help!

Thanks.

Hmm ive no idea then. If other apps stay in cache, games should too

 

[SUroot]

Doesn't it depend on how the individual app or game is coded?

 

[funkylogik]

No idea mate. Games have always stayed cached for me unless i really push the system. Im not a big gamer though by any means

Yeah, the developer needs to make the application, game, etc. in way so that it can use Android's multitasking.

When you go to the Home screen using the Home button and are ready to go back to the game, long press the Home button to get into the Task Manager. You should see your game in this window along with other apps. Tap on your game and it should be back where you left it.

Why would a dev' make their game not capable of multitasking though mate? Lazyness?

this pressing the menu key for a few secs brings up the recently used apps list. Is there a way to edit it to show only the currently opened applications?

Long press on the Menu soft key brings up Google Now. The Home button in the middle brings up the task manager. If it is showing any apps in the window they should still running in the background.

Osmos is cool i lost about 8hours straight playin that with headphones in :thumbup:
I use Dock4droid for multitasking. Once u get it set up nicely with a really thin invisible launch area at bottom of screen its excelent
