before starter service feature, i used to make normal services
my service used httputlis and some other libraries m

is it safe if i put big code in starter service ?

i added starter service to my existing project and services but i see that starter service it running and taking place from the device memory and the only thing i need it for is handling uncaught errors

so can i combine and old service with the starter service and it will still can handle uncaught errors ??

Yes, you can run other code in the Starter Service. Just make sure your code can handle Service_Create and Service_Start being called before Activity_Create and Activity_Resume of your Main Activity.

Erel said herehttps://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/starter-service-consistent-single-entry-point.57599/:
The starter service should be excluded from compiled libraries. Its #ExcludeFromLibrary attribute is set to True by default.

can #ExcludeFromLibrary effect my service at anyway ?

All that means is that if you compile your project to a library, it won't include the StarterService module. If you compile it like a normal project, #ExcludeFromLibrary won't have any effect.
