I wonder why there no hibernation for GOS. It's achieved by copy memory to the hard drive and power off memory. This can put the phone in BFU while still allow you to quickly restore your previous opened apps rather than reopen them like the case after restarting.

    because hibernation is only really a computer thing. You would need to rewrite half the kernel to make it happen. What would even be the benefits instead of just turning your phone off? Just set auto-reboot to around 30 minutes and it will achieve a very similar effect.

    Upstate1618 Aside from technical difficulties getting it to work, storing multiple gigabytes of RAM contents to the phone's flash storage might significantly shorten the lifespan of the flash -- which isn't replaceable on phones.

    Hibernating to a spinning disk doesn't significantly wear it, but flash is different.
