Attachment: Gaia WIP: don't restart home screen when a call is coming

Although resuming music haven't been ready yet, we can try this 2 WIP patches to see if they work under the circumstance of receiving a call when playing video or using camera (bug 989594).

Yes please, try to reduce the scope of this patch only to non-important applications like the home-screen or camera. Killing other apps will just lead to more bugs being filed because stuff dies when we get an incoming call and we're already struggling to fix those bugs.

This is based on the fact that a background app could be killed by LMK, but this doesn't kill important apps, like app that have attribute "critical" or b2g/nuwa.

James, would you try if these 2 WIP patches fix the problem described in bug 989594 (receiving an incoming call when playing video or using camera)?

I think we should not do that at all. Let's use Etienne work from bug 990003 instead. I'm renominating if people want to discuss more, but I feel strongly that this should be CLOSED WONTFIX

Yeah, that fix sounds right solution to me. I am filing this just in case it wasn't fixed in 1.3t time frame. I am happy that we don't need to do this. :)
