Background process limit

[HV]

Hi,

 I'm looking at changing this to "no background processes" and wondering where I should tweak this in the code. I know that this can be done through Settings->Developer Options->Background process limit, but I want my release default to be zero. Could anyone please point me to the right file?

Thanks

Oh I guess, I can look into ~/packages/apps/Settings

Ok, I now have a partial fix for this. I made a small tweak in ~/packages/apps/Settings/src/com/android/settings/DevelopmentSettings.java within onCreate() and now my default option is "No background processes". But, I realized that I have to go into the "Developer Options" page for this to kick in. 

I'm wondering if anyone knows how to make this default WITHOUT going into this page? Appreciate any thoughts

Thanks

That setting is intended for development purposes only.  Android is not designed to run like this for production.

Why do you think you need to do this?

understand that it's not normal, but this platform is running on low memory & I'd like to free up the entire memory once the app closes. I see that with "no background processes" there is huge improvement in free memory. So, I'd like to make this the default configuration

Thanks

The right thing to do here is set the LMK thresholds so that cached apps (adj=9-12) get killed more aggressively.
