Probably a question for the Android team as to which is better.  I do have to wonder a bit how this app works? For instance, if it crashes, or if monkey decides to close it, would it stop working?

The Android team has a new app that can disable suspend on a device:

It can be enabled with commands like:

am start -W -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n \
 com.android.disablesuspend/.DisableSuspendActivity
input keyevent 61  #key code for <TAB>
input keyevent 66  #key code for <Enter>

Looking at the changes we made to support this[1], I wonder if this new method is safer. On the one hand this requires a change, and the change requires us to start an application. This seems slower. On the other hand, we are currently making sqlite3 calls and such that seem a bit dangerous.

Thoughts?
