Setting this option forces Android to stop each process as soon as it is empty (that is, when no services are started and no activities are on screen for that app).

To be clear: this option won't stop apps that would normally run in the background from doing so. Your mail client will still run periodically to check mail, if it's configured to do that. Apps that use Google Cloud Messaging to receive push messages from Internet servers (such as Gmail and Facebook) will still be able to do so. The option would be better named "Cached background process limit", since it limits apps that would otherwise show up with that label in the apps manager.

Next time each app needs to start, Android has to load the app from storage, from scratch. This uses more power and takes longer than running it again when the process was in memory. This doesn't just mean when you start an activity from that app deliberately; it also means the email client has to be loaded afresh each time it wants to check email. Over time this can build up to a huge battery drain.

Because this is a development option, it can also trigger rare bugs in certain apps, and those apps' developers may not be keen to fix them. One example is that, on Nexus devices running 4.2.2, when this option is on, the in-built Calendar app will keep restarting itself with this option set, because stopping the cached background process causes the calendar's content provider to be removed, which causes a loop of services restarting each other to check for calendar updates. If this happens, the loop will run down your battery very quickly.

I think that in standard, as it says, the RAM is your limit; if you have your apps prematurely closing or sleeping, that means that you have a very high memory usage or another issue, end I don't think the background process limit setting will fix it for you.

What's your typical memory load? My phone loves to use about 75% of the available RAM and keep something like 900 MB free. Of the ~200 apps I have installed, I think only about third of them see daily use... And I have about 30 cached processes right now.

That's some kind of new release (just one day later - 2017-04-18 versus 2017-04-19) and one user reported the fast charge not working with it, while with 2017-04-18 it works almost well for me...

Oh, I see. Just checked it quickly and saw

Official ROM Elephone Version: Elephone_P9000_20170419 - full_c239v55_dx-user 7.0 NRD90M

and thought that was the version; but now I see that a little lower in the page it says

Update OfficialROM Elephone Version: Elephone_P9000_20170904 - full_c239v55_dx-user 7.0 NRD90M

And it was posted in the official Elephone forums just 9 hours ago... Security Patch is June 5 2017, btw (as Haidar123 said)... I'll flash it and see how it works :good:

Well. i have it working right now. I upgraded via OTA after removing Magisk. It removed TWRP by itself, and upgraded with no problems (Took about 15 minutes to complete from the first reboot).
It works almost the same as last version. The only difference I've noted is that the Bluetooth audio skips a lot less, but it may be situational.
Camera laser focus is working. I'll check fast charging when I get home from work.
Reflashing TWRP was a PITA. Had to use latest flashtool from https://spflashtool.com/ to get it to not get stuck at "download DA 100%".
Now Magisk 14 is installed and working, but can't access Magisk's ROOT settings (but root is working fine)
I upgraded the Universal SafetyNet Fix, now Android Pay and Pokemon Go work.
Now I'll try running the Systemless Xposed :3
---
Bad idea; Xposed put me in a bootloop. Had to uninstall Magisk and reinstall it for the phone to work again...
...and even if it worked, everything google related went nuts. At least I can still TiBU everything and I'll do a factory reset ASAP

So xposed didn't work because of Magisk or xposed didn't work generally
on P9000 with Android 7, what do you think?

xposed works for me on los14.1, using the unofficial new version of xposed that can be found on the materialized xposed apk

I suppose the Magisk Xposed module don't work with this phone and this ROM. I'm not willing to test it soon - in the end my phone was soft bricked, had to reflash and lost my IMEI, had to reflash again to restore IMEI with Maui Meta, had to TiBU all the apps and most of the configs back... well, it's working again.
Fast charge does work all the way to 12V with Elephone Official Fast Charger and Original cable, but as was the case with the previous ROM, it's limited to about 0.8 amps, so it's about as fast as 5V 2A. I guess this is to prevent overheating - in the old days the phone charged in about 60 minutes but was hotter than a baked potato, now it charges in about 70 and a few minutes but it only gets as warm as a mother's embrace, so I'm not complaining.
I'll give another try to Xposed (after a Nandroid backup, this time), but as I was restoring my little brick, I thought that for me is no longer necessary - I don't even remember which modules I used to have installed, so it's not a big deal.
---
Second try with Systemless Xposed, same result.
This time a Nandroid backup saved the day

Any idea why the flashtool is stuck on "Download DA 100%" and then throws "ERROR: STATUS_PROTOCOL_ERR (0xC0010005)"
