For phone :-

Code:
sys.keep_app_1=com.android.contacts

It's working for me.
actually i did'nt even have any delay opening the dialer earlier.
maybe someone who had this problem can try and report.

at least there is no boot loop or 'stuck at m logo' problem ,so no harm in trying.

if you already have contacts in memory then ,
sys.keep_app_2=com.jb.gosms

also you can check app name from package browser located in setting>developer option>launch tools

Cool Found one thing about editing local.prop

Found one thing:

After entering the app name in local.prop file leave one line blank at the bottom otherwise even if u save it, phone says no changes made... and apps u added in local.prop file won't be locked in memory.. Hope i helped..
