Pause Button *ROOT*

從字面上暫停正在運行的任何應用程序

This is for ROOT USERS ONLY.

Pause Button will pause any currently running app, no matter what it is. It can then be safely resumed. It's more fun when playing games that lack such an option, but, once again, it can be used on any application on the phone.

The source code is available on GitHub, but the gist of it is that Pause Button makes low level system calls to kill -STOP and kill -CONT to pause and resume the application. This makes it great fun to use in combination with some other power apps like Game Gaurdian.

It's pretty self explanatory, but just in case: Open the application and click start. Once the pause button appears, it can be dragged around to a good position, or pressed to pause the current foreground application.

Please report all errors. Potential problems I might suspect:

- weird stuff on lower android versions (right now supports all the way down to sdk 4)

- some android devices may not have STOP and CONT names properly coded

- it may guess the foreground application incorrectly on some devices

And yes, there is an ad in the small launcher application. If you really can't stand it, compile the source yourself. ;)

Disclaimer: You may find yourself in situations where the Android OS is waiting on a process to return, but it can't because it's paused. In these events you will have to reboot. Be responsible.
