Mishaal Rahman described the change in Android Open Source (AOSP) code from his XDA Developersformer. This change opens an Androids developer options menu with a toggle. A phantom window will disable this process. Googles Android 12 introduced a ton of visual changes to its mobile operating system (OS). However, it brought a few more sub-electronic changes that weren’t as obvious. The phantom processes are one of those under the hood features dubbed PhantomProcessKiller, the new bits of tech kills the background tasks and calls phantom processes because they use too much power. An update to the phantom process: Google just submitted a patch that adds a toggle for Developer Options to disable the monitoring of phantom processes.https://t.co/nfn2npZmkX. We will definitely see this until Android 13. CC @agnosticapollo https://t.co/iPP4fO6GAE/FXH/mf3cl-a1____?ip=. Mishaal Rahman (@Mishaal Rahman) December 14, 2021 Although the PhantomProcessKiller generally works against many users by limiting their background and saving their battery, it might also be hard for others. Some apps might not move well with the new system. Power users also might want to switch off. Any reason for this, a toggle will certainly be around for users. That’s good news to those who use an app that doesn’t play nice with this system. The downside is, with the option to get the toggle fixed, allowing it to be a little wait. Rahman says that the switch might not roll out until the new year’s Android 7.Android Policeagreed, arguing that since the toggle was just recently introduced, it’s likely won’t go live for a while. That said, there could be a chance the feature comes in Android 12L too. Twitterer: Mishaal Rahman (Film) via: XDA Developers, Android Police.
