Hi Fr-dae, no, you are not dumb. Unfortunately though, I cannot help you with the question, since this is very much dependent on the particular device Gmu is running on (in your case the R36s) and its operating system configuration.

Although I did create Gmu, I did not create the ports of Gmu for every single device on which it runs. Most of those devices are similar in that they run Linux under the hood, but some important details differ between them, requiring some (usually small) customization on Gmu's part by the person porting it to a particular device.

Generally speaking, there are devices that do allow applications to run in the background and those that don't easily let you do that. Those that do, should allow you to do it regardless of the specific application, probably by pressing some button combination. As for turning off the screen, Gmu has code for doing that on devices where the operating system doesn't do it by itself. Since the way how to do this has been different on a lot of devices, parts of that code have to be implemented for each device by the person porting it to that device.

Since I do not own a R36s myself, I don't know its exact configuration and if this adaptation has been made by whoever created the Gmu port for that device. I would suggest you ask the person who did the R36s build of Gmu about those things.
