How To Disable Phantom Process Killer in Android 12+ ?

A new limitation was introduced in Android 12 to add an upper limit to the maximum number of phantom processes running at any moment in the entire Android OS, whether it is running in the background or in the foreground.

This limitation affects NOMone Desktop heavily. Since we are running a full Linux environment, it is only natural that more than 32 processes to be active at the same time. The result is a sudden termination to NOMone Desktop by the Android OS.

To solve this problem, we made a short walk-through video explaining all the steps needed to disable the Phantom Process Killing on your device.

If you already know about ADB connections and how to establish one, then all you need to do is to run this command:

adb shell "/system/bin/device_config set_sync_disabled_for_tests persistent; /system/bin/device_config put activity_manager max_phantom_processes 2147483647; settings put global settings_enable_monitor_phantom_procs false"

However, if you don’t have a PC or haven’t established an ADB connection before, we recommend watching this video.
