Davide Maestroni commented on CB-3064:
--------------------------------------

I forgot to mention one important detail which may be involved in the root cause of the issue: in my case I am overriding the back button and calling, on the "backbutton" event, the following Javascript code:
{noformat}
window.addEventListener("backbutton", function() {
    navigator.app.exitApp();
});
{noformat}
The application looks to successfully exit (it does not stay in background, still the Android OS is keeping the main thread alive for performance boost...), but when I restart it all the settings are lost.
I am still facing the issue today, and if you are not going to fix it I will need to keep and maintain my own workaround.

>             Project: Apache Cordova
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: Android
>    Affects Versions: 2.5.0, 2.6.0

> The preferences in the config.xml file are not read again if application exits and then restarts.
> A simple test is to set the background color to GREEN (-16711936 or [0xff00ff00]) and use an html page with transparent background. 
> The first time it is run, the application correctly displays a green background but then, after exiting by pressing the back or home button, and re-running it, the background stays black.
> Forcing the application thread to stop from the Android settings menu seems to cause the preferences file to be read again.
