Answer 1

This only works with a rooted device:

Use a terminal, become root by inputting

    su

then select the process-id from the output of top

    top -n 1 -m 10

look in the column PID and renice the process (in this example PID 1825 to priority 0) you want to by

    renice 0 1825

That's all. Keep in mind, that this change will be overwritten by the OperatingSystem, after some time, when OS thinks it was necessary to give the process more priority.
