EDIT2: Scratch all this, I'm dumb. My problems were caused by a setting in the developer settings that limited background processes to 1. No wonder.
Sorry for the spam and glad I can say this ROM just became a 5-star in my book!
I want to love this ROM, except I ran into a pretty major annoyance. It seems like the AOKP minfree policy is way too aggressive (?).
It causes my apps to get killed even when I switch to the mp3 player for a moment.
It's a big problem, because when I want to switch from chat to media player and change playlists, the chat app gets killed and I have to relogin into my accounts, which takes a long time! It also seems to kill persistent apps like Ingress with Ingress Wake (which should keep it unkillable, but somehow doesn't).
I have not had this kind of problem on my previous ROMs and I'm very surprised that I haven't found complaints about it in this thread.
Any tips on how to make minfree behave? I'd love for it not to pretty much not do anything (i.e. let the system handle memory management), but when I open ROM Toolkit's Minfree manager, the System Default preset is already set, so I have no idea what to do about it.
One more thing, when I check the RAM usage, I have constantly about 130 MB free and 280 used, which seems fine and certainly shouldn't trigger any app killing.
EDIT: I don't *know* this problem is caused by minfree, I just assumed. I also tried tinkering with the vm settings, but I have no idea what I'm doing.
