1271836 - Turn off BackupManagerService in Android emulator image

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Firefox for Android Graveyard :: Testing, defect)

Description

[Geoff Brown [:gbrown]]

It may be possible to turn off Android's BackgroundManagerService in the images used for automated testing on the emulator. One less thing running -- less overhead, more predictable performance, etc.

I'll try:

adb shell bmgr enable false

Attachment: use new avd with backup manager disabled

I unpacked the previous AVD archive, AVDs-armv7a-android-4.3.1_r1-build-2016-02-10.tar.gz, ran the emulator, executed the command from the last comment, then copied userdata-qemu.img back into a new archive, which I uploaded to tooltool today.

This patch just updates the manifest to use the new AVD.
