How to prevent Android from killing apps? - Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite Questions & Answers

So, I have this issue, where most of my apps can't stay in recent apps overnight. They all get killed, all but 5 I have noticed. I did the battery optimization thing for all apps I use on a daily basis. I have edited build.prop file and added sys.keep_app_1=com.whatsapp and so on for the rest of my apps. I also did that in the local.prop file. None of it worked. How to prevent my phone from killing apps overnight?

Nobody?!

If you are rooted you might try the app LSpeed and use one of the build in RAM profiles.

I am rooted. OK, I will try it. Thanks. It shuts my app very VERY aggressively. For instance, I was watching some youtube video yesterday, and in the other app I was searching for some products and was going back and forth between YouTube and Google Chrome, and every couple of times it restarted YouTube app, even though I was using it 2 minutes ago.

Both youtube and chrome are resource hungry apps, that's why it keeps reloading.
I guess your device is 3 gb version as mine.

It's 4/64gb version.

I have the 4 gb version as well and I don't face such an issue, if nothing works try factory reset, absolute solution :good:

Tried it already, didn't work. Try leaving 10-15 apps opened in the evening, and see in the morning if they are still in recent apps. And tell me tomorrow.

Well, then you probably need a custom rom. Android One is known to be optimized for dumping non needed tasks. You could try to disable battery optimizing for the apps you would like to stay alive.

Tried that too, didn't work.

My previous phone was 2Gb running android 6. Now i have a mi a2 life 4Gb and it is OK except for 2 games.
Apparently there's some AI that learns what you use but after many weeks no change.
Most apps open pretty fast. It's only these 2 games that I run daily. Annoying to have to wait for them especially since the old phone was able to keep them cached.
I tried the low-memory config (magisk module) but it didn't help. I guess android has changed its algorithm. I'm resigned to it.

It's insane. What's the point of having 4, 6, 8 or 10GB of ram if you can't use it?!

Connect it to a monitor, install Taskbar app and SecondScreen app, enable Freeform windows and turn your phone into a mediocre PC. Assuming you can get all the resources back from OS's hidden service threads of course.

Facing the same issue
facing same issue specially after android 10 update. Change apps back and forth even in recent apps menu kills the app. My phone is 4/64.

Android 10 has a known problem. Rebooting helps. For how long seems to vary. I get a week or so, some people only get a day.

I had the same problem when I was unrooted during the Android 10 update crash. After rooting and installing Lspeed again, Android is not killing apps anymore as I set these settings

Multitasking Issue

Do Anyone have issue with app closing too quickly in background even less than a minute??
I am noticing it for past few days. When i switch chrome with any other app and come back within a minute then chrome page reload itself. This was not the case with my previous device Moto X2.
Also faced issue with mini militia app when switched to whatsapp for few seconds, the app restarted when came back.
Any help will be grateful.
Yes, this phone has very aggressive memory management. It kills background tasks too quickly.
Looking under memory settings, I have used 85 apps in the last 24 hours and the maximum amount on RAM this phone has used is 1.6 GB...seems the RAM usage never hits more than 2 GB as the phone keeps killing apps.

Noticed mostly in Chrome, page reloads even if switched app within 30 seconds, no other heavy app running in background.
Faced with Mini Militia game too, app reloads if switched for like 10 seconds or more.

Android P frequently refreshing apps in background

I usually leave chrome in background after scrolling in websites, to continue later where I left. Before android P, chrome was never refreshing unless I reboot the phone, but on android P it refreshes frequently. The page reloads after switching back to chrome after a short time. Tried turning off adaptive battery but it didn't help. The last thing I can try is turning off battery optimization, but it may cause battery usage. Anyone else having poor memory optimization on android P, or a solution?
You must be the exception because I'm pretty sure majority of people, including myself, get Chrome pages to reload relatively easy. And it not needing to reload until a reboot sounds crazy to me. LOL

I was keeping chrome open in background for days and it still wouldn't reload on android 8
Well it's aggressive memory management has always been a downside since day one. Not just with chrome but with any app. You never experience it until now?

I mainly experience this problem with chrome in Pixel 2 XL. I found some settings in chrome:flags. Searched memory there and enabled Memory coordinator and Memory ablation experiment (selected just "Enabled"). After this, I did some tests and chrome didn't reload. Can you also try these settings? I'll need to see for some more time to tell if these really work.

How do I get good battery life

Hi guys,
So around 1 month ago now, I got myself hands on a Note10+ (N975F)
I have been noticing screen off time drain, it is around 1.8% for me. I have tried using greenify, optimizing the settings, battery saving mode etc.
It hasn't really been working for me. Screen off time is really important for me, even more than screen on time.
So i wanted to know, how could I maximize the battery life of my Note10+? Is there like a custom rom you could recommend, like Lineage or dr ketan?
Knox is already tripped bcz of the previous owner, so that is no problem. Or a other custom rom or just with rooting something.
If you know anything, I would appreciate it if you could tell me,
Kind regards,
Crewz
First, you can select apps that you dont require to be always running, to be dormant, look for this option in settings, also you can install galaxy labs, there is a similar option there also, I disabled several apps via CCSWE, that have the undesirable behavior of being always running and accesing internet, such as facebook, chrome, youtube, operator apps, etc, also, with CCSWE you can deprive apps of certain undesired services that eat batt, this a process that takes some time, as you use the device, you can obseve and decide what to disable, to uninstall, or control via ccswe, I have my note 10+ since Sept 6 2019 and the battery lasts thru the whole day, I get some 7 hrs SOT on normal std use, when I play intensive games,, that is another diferent thing

Hey thank you for taking the time to help me. I have tried what you said, I went into settings and I went through my apps and selected those that don't need to run in the background. I also downloaded CCSWE from the playstore, i saw like 500 applications, but only disable or clear data from the application.
Are there any other device settings you recommend changing?
Thanks for your time.
Decide if you want to root it, if so you'll have many more options and tools to work with.
Otherwise get PD MDM to block apks from running at boot and disable them.
Use Samsung Device Manager and set to Optimized in main window. Toggle on fast charging but don't enable any other off the top 3 dot menu. You can then disable that app too. 3rd party power management apps including Samsung's can screw it up. Cloud apps, Goggle Backup Transport/Backup Framework are big offenders on my stock 10+
Disable Google, Samsung and any carrier feedback.
To hell with Bixby except Bixby Vision/Vision Framework which are needed by the cam for full functionality.
Play with it.

Not sure what you mean with Google / Samsung feedback.
For bixby I disabled almost everything except vision and routines.

Don't disable Bixby Framework either.
The feedback options are buried in settings, you'll run into them.
I'm not rooted so I don't spend much time looking at what I could do. You do have real time cpu/power usage capabilities with it for weeding out the hogs... for one thing.

In the Goggle and Samsung account settings.
If it's a carrier phone one of the advanced network settings. Carrier phone; disable remote support, updates (unless you want an update), and all their software.
Keep Samsung account and apps related to Galaxy Store/Themes as you want to be able to download themes, icon packs and apps from there.
Excellent free icon packs... and the Good Lock family of apps.

Galaxy labs, Battery Tracker is useful.
See if Google Backup Transport or Framework are the culprits. If already package blocked clear their data and the data on Goggle Play Services ie gms.
It can be hard to ferret out as many apks simply are thrown together under Android Services.
Worse some Google apps falsely show under Transport etc even when its blocked. That why you clear the data of gms.
Use the factory load of Samsung Device Manager to globally clean caches. Reboots seldom help.
Turn off location, bt and wifi if not using.
Do not let Playstore run or Samsung updates unless your using them.
When running clean its ide current with screen on is typically in the 100-200 ma range. A few lower and higher. If you're getting a lot of spikes 400 ma and above at idle something is using a lot of the cpu resources...

So I installed Galaxy Labs and Battery Tracker.
I noticed that Google Foto's was on top with 7.1%.
Followed was whatsapp with 6.3%
And google play service was 3.78%
I haven't seen Google Backup Transport in the list.
Would there be like a way to turn off location automaticly when I am not using it, for example that it would only turn on for google maps or something?
Thanks for your time!

If you leave locations on it's a whore to a lot of apps including Google. Looks like you found your prime suspects.

LG G7 annoying RAM problem.

It seems to happen that when my G7 Thinq has no more free RAM left, kills running apps like Spotify, Play Music(not any more), Netflix and others. It kills them even I started recently, or I am listening to music, or I am using Maps while driving or streaming Netflix to Chromecast. So it makes no possible to use these apps normally. I am thinking of buying a new phone just because of that. Does anyone know a solution? I tried being updated, hard reset and uninstalling the apps that more RAM consume.
Wich Android version are you using? Had this problems with the stock verizon rom , too much bloat
Crossflashed the canadian android 10 and everything is miles better .
But uf you dont want to crossflash try to disable the carrier apps , if using chrome switch to a less ram intensive browser and avoid duplicated apps
i'm on android 10 and have the same problem it even disables live wallpapers

Some carriers have preinstalled apps like games and apps , some of them are very heavy on resources .
Are you using pie or android 10 ? May I suggest trying the smart doctor app , I usually advice against the use of the apps , but this looks like some background process that refuses to let go , run the smart doctor app , Is built in to the phone , after that close all the apps from the recent apps screen , reboot the phone and see if that helps .
If it persist , would you mind upload a screenshot of the ram usage ? It may give us a clue about whats happening .

Question A greenify app for OPO Android 13

Hello everyone and a happy new year to all!!
I run a business with my phone and used greenify to close all background apps (ig, fb, Twitter etc) from opening up and distracting from business text and email notifications popping up. And also saving battery.
But obviously I learned the greenify isn't being updated for a while and it's a nightmare to easily close certain apps I need closed. I still use it but it takes like 10 mins to close apps that I have chosen to be hibernated.
Is there an app for android 12 that I can use that actually works and closes my background apps in 10 seconds?
I wholeheartedly appreciate any answers!
Thank you all and please stay safe.

I use Ice Box to freeze and defrost apps when I'm not using them.
Thank you for your reply, I'm assuming that you're rooted?
And also when I do greenify all the apps (which takes forever) you know how when you want to share something, you hit "share" and Android opens up all the suggested apps to share with, that causes all the apps to wake up, does that happen with your method?

Hi, servicly is a good alternative for greenify, but for this to be operational android phone must be rooted..
Thank you, I was not trying to go the rooting route, I used to root and install nightlies like a mad man years ago. But now I'm out of the game. Just one question with that. Do you lose Ota updates rooting? Thank you very much.

No, freezing the app disables it until you launch it again. The other suggestion of Servicely may fit your needs better. Both require root.
Mikedeez! said:

Click to collapse
You still get OTA updates when rooted, just have to do an extra step after installing to keep root. Install OTA but don't reboot yet, then install magisk to inactive slot, then reboot.
Oh I see, if I root then get the Ota it'll disable root and will have to root again. Got it.
But are you 100 percent sure that "share suggestions" don't open up all the apps? Because greenify froze my apps too but like I said before the "search suggestions" would reopen them.
And also does servicely and the other apps freeze quickly? Unlike greenify now that takes like 5 seconds each app to force close. Was so used to greenify it was so easy.
I really do appreciate your help and patience
For my part, i use a battery monitor app called BatteryGuru which has an option for doze configuration which puts apps in hibernation and your device in deep sleep same as the shortcut for sleep in greenify.
Hey, thanks. Do i need root?
Try Naptime.

BatteryGuru needs a set of permissions achieved with adb commands. There's how to guide in app.
Both icebox and brevent are good to go, neither requires root, you need to do adb or wireless debug though, easy to use and I also recommend Shizuku which helps a lot for non root but high previliege actions
Hello, and thank you again. But it seems like these apps are for doze. I'm more looking for an app that "force stops" apps. Preferably like a batch force stop like greenify did.
I want to pick and choose which apps I want running and which I don't.
Thank you and happy new year

Icebox works great with root. Never tried it without. It completely disables target apps like they aren't even installed on your phone. They don't show up in the share menu. The free version tackles 10 apps max. For more, you need the full version.
What @terlynn4 said about rooted OTA is correct, with the qualification that you will need to download the full OTA (4gb+), not incremental.
I'll definitely dabble again in rooting if needed be. Had so much fun with it since the first Android. But then just got older and busier and stopped sadly.
Now with this new oxygen colorOS crap it's a nightmare.
Does anyone know why greenify technically DOES work but takes so darn long to go thru its cycle on Android 12? Or is it just our OS that's like that?

It was definitely all good until Android 12. Now even the other apps that were like greenify do the same thing and take forever to cycle thru the apps and force stops them. I wonder why
Maybe because android 12 already "optimizes" apps and has a background app check that shows which app are running since when. Maybe not an expert here.I
know this is off-topic but If anyone is interested in a good close to stock android 12 source custom rom, i highly suggest StagOs 12. It spoofs a pixel 5 so you get all pixel 5 features. I like it very much.
I went on background check and there's only 2 apps there with a date that says March.
Dumb question guys/gals like I said since I haven't rooted in a looooong time.. If I root will it erase my phone? And if so what app do I use to make the best backup so I can keep my apps and data associated with it before I root. Love you all for the help.
