Hi, Pierre
I very often get this screen, when I returning to home desktop from some apps (Chrome most often).
Probably LL is killed by OS because of lack of memory (Nexus 5x – 2GB – rooted)?
Do you think is possible to add an option to show/hide an icon in expanded status bar drawer, to prevent LL to be killed by Android?
Or, at least, could you remove/hide/make transparent the orange top band? Is kind of disturbing to see this almost every time I press home button.
Thanks

I confirm this. Nexus 5X (hi!) 2GB of memory (technically they are 1.8GB) not rooted.
The problem forcing lightning to stay always loaded is that most probably switching between other apps will probably kill those, and at the end almost all apps will be loaded always…But wait! This already happens with (on my case) Firefox, YouTube, and most games.
I could reduce the frequency of those lighting restarts by simplifying my desktop. Mainly removing widgets (I put them on a folder, so they are only loaded when I need them)
Is it me or the used memory on this phone is strangely high? (Android OS plus android system use almost 1GB all the time!) I miss you nexus 4.

Hi, but I prefer other apps to be killed instead of LL.
All my widgets is in folder.
On main phone, Android OS and Android system is as well as high: 850~900 MB.

I don’t know what this screen is!
Seriously, there’s no way to display this screen in the app. What I see here is the main activity after it has been created and before to enter the LL app code, as frozen.
There must be some system issue. I know this is an easy answer, way too easy, but your screenshot is just not possible on a normal possible.
Regarding memory, you can’t compare physical memory and memory used by apps, for a number of reasons.

That screenshot corresponds to an app just launched. When I force close lighting and press home I can see that screenshot too (it takes around a second to disappear and show the desktop)
It is also shown when launching other apps, specially full screen games (with the corresponding title/color). I guess it is an android 7 ‘feature’.
The issue here is that lightning is killed by the system, and it shouldn’t.

It started to happen on my Moto G Falcon after I flashed a Nougat ROM (Ressurection Remix), it appears that this is a Nougat thing that happens when you come back to a killed app, for a fraction of a second the system shows the last thing showed in the app and it put the top bar thingy, which in the case of LL is a bright orange color that makes the transition really jarring.
So either LL is being killed on Nougat, or it was always killed and we couldn’t see because the transition wasn’t as jarring.
I would like if you changed the color of the app, I don’t really like the bright orange anyway lol

It has happened to me before Nougat as well (same Nexus 5x), but maybe less often. And also on an older LG G2 mini with new LineageOS 14.1.
And that screen always appear… after 1min of browsing on Chrome, after browsing some photos on Google Photos…
I still believe that an icon on statusbar could be a solution.

Maybe this could help:
I added LL to “Not optimized” in: Settings > Battery > Battery optimisation (Android 7.0.1)
I have not seen that screen since.
I think LL is entering in standby after a while, when an app use huge memory.
According to Google:
App Standby allows the system to determine that an app is idle when the user is not actively using it.
The system makes this determination when the user does not touch the app for a certain period of time and none of the following conditions applies:
– The user explicitly launches the app.
– The app has a process currently in the foreground (either as an activity or foreground service, or in use by another activity or foreground service).
– The app generates a notification that users see on the lock screen or in the notification tray.
I don’t know how this (not optimized LL) will affect battery life.
How is that different (in terms of battery consumption), comparing to an app showing a persistent notification?
Do you think is possible for a script to start a dummy foreground service only to display a persistent notification?
Curios thing: I have a shortcut to restart LL; that screen appears after every restart. Now is gone.
