ActivityForceNewTask
Apps can launch other apps' activities inside their task. This makes it impossible to switch back and forth between the two. This module sets the FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK flag when starting a new activity, which 'fixes' that. See the XDA thread for more info.

Changes:
- Removed none/blacklist filtering options. The whitelist is always used now (renamed to "Enabled Components") which means that you must configure the module, as it won't do anything by default.
- Reverted back to hooking Activity.startActivity(Intent, Bundle). Other methods used to start an Activity require the usage of FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK, so it doesn't actually make sense to hook anything else. Also removed the alternate way to get a context as it shouldn't be needed anymore.
- Check if FLAG_ACTIVITY_NEW_TASK is already set, and do nothing if that's the case (the activity won't be logged either.)
- Updated Slovak translations (by ja-som.)

Changes:

Changes:
- Added option to enable/disable the blacklist (and log.) The blacklist requires a few extra calls which are unnecessary if you don't use it, so I'd advise you don't enable it unless you need it.
- Cleanup/better performance for the log viewer.

Changes:
- The mod will now only modify intents that should be modified. This should fix all breakage without needing the blacklist. \o/
- Log viewer improvements: tapping on an item now removes it from the list after adding it to the blacklist, and a toast is shown to indicate if it's been added to the blacklist.

Changes:
Use flat text file for storing the logs instead of SharedPreferences. This is much better for performance, especially if the log gets long
Clearing the application's data is recommended (nothing bad will happen if you don't, but the old log won't be cleared from SharedPreferences if you don't.) Sorry for the inconvenience.
