Hello, i would like to ask something that annoys me.When i exit an app i have a blank aap drawer without any apps and after 5 seconds i get to see the actual apps on the menu.Is this because the app drawer does not lock itself in the memory and it has to reload? it is kinda annoying
Memory management, your app caused shortage of memory so the OS killed the launcher. Some launchers have options to try staying resident, or you can mess with the memory strategy, which can mess things up if you get it wrong.

TLR, looking for something that hides apps or a browser etc that's not a mainstream app (Everyone knows about all the hide it pro apps and photo lockers and "hide application from drawer" type stuff, you can easily access it from settings). All that stuff is online. I'm looking for something that can maybe hide the app from drawer/settings and maybe have a "blank" app icon or blank settings menu space that activates it.
It still has to be easy enough to access frequently but be able to exit really fast and leave no traces in case someone barges in.
This is honestly to stop snooping of family/parents/friends. I'm of age to have my own privacy to have things on my phone that I want, but due to living with parents, in essence it's their rules and they can do as they please or I get kicked out. I simply want to keep things private like conversations and apps but normal hiding techniques are hardly adequate.
Do any of you know of an Xposed module or ROM with abilities like this? My dream thing would be to hide a messaging app and
-HIde app from drawer AND app manager in settings
-Close on home button press
-Discrete notification to inform of messages
-Password locked
-Quick to open
-Hidden opener(ie invisible button on homescreen/settings menu/widget)
I'd create it if I had the know how. Audio Manager does stuff well but it's well known that it's a hiding app and rents probably already know if it. Plus to hide an app with it, it takes a long time to "unhide" the app and open it and then close it. Plus there's no notifications. All the other hiding apps are cheesy like the calculator one (obvious to just google) etc.
Please refrain from making "judgemental" statements, this is a serious question and you don't need to go off topic and talk about morals, it's nothing illegal/bad/worth hiding tbh but some parents are psychotic (literal sense there's official medical statements)
Thanks. :fingers-crossed:
To save the memory space it is often essential to move large apps to the SD card. But sometimes if you have moved the icon of such app to the launcher screen the icon will disappear after the phone restart.
This is a common problem caused by the fact that in the time the launcher is started the apps are not "linked" to the part moved to the SD card. For the launcher the app is missing and thus the icon is removed.
There are 2 solutions:
Move the apps that you have added to the launcher back the internal memory.
Install a more inteligent launcher that can handle such situation and displays the icon as grayed while the app is unavailable - for example the Nova launcher.
Whenever I close the app in the app switcher, the widget loses the current location for weather updates. What's worse is that all locations which I've added in the app are lost upon restarting and I have to select my location again.
I don't suppose the app has to be constantly running in the app switcher for the widget to work correctly?
Yes, usually if a widget is part of a standalone app, the app needs to always run. At least that has been my experience. I don't know about your specific app there though.
I am sure there are apps that make the widget run independently of the main app, but most I have seen seem to need the app running, or the widget won't function.
Turns out this widget doesn't need the app to be running after all. It's just that I had disabled the storage permission as per Android 6 permission settings and that caused a problem even though the app did not complain. I thought it needed to access storage only when adding custom background pictures, which I didn't intend to use.
What's interesting is that without the storage permission even if I left the app running, but it got bumped out of memory and needed to reload, it would also lose location settings. This makes me think there was some sort of virtual storage created in the absence of storage permission, so that as long as the app was running it could save the location there. But it gets erased as soon as the app is closed. Maybe a fail-safe solution for the lack of permission? I could be wrong.
I have a problem where background services getting killed when recent are cleared.
Apps on question run at boot without visible windows eg. KinScreen, lux, fluid gesture
I have disable miui optimization in developer options, selected no restriction on battery saver and set apps to autostart.
problem still persist if recent are cleared all these services get killed.
Any way to prevent background services being killed??
I have root and open to suggestion but prefer to stay on miui.
i have same question,,
I have this issue too. What I did was lock my apps in recents. Not a clean way to do it, but it works.
NOTE: I posted this same issue in MIUI forums and seems that we're not alone and the issue is MIUI RAM management itself. I hope it gets fixed in future MIUI versions but for now the workaround I gave is our best shot. Hope this helps and enjoy your Poco, I know I am
First, in app info sections, you turn on autostart for each required app.
Secondly, in battery settings, give each required app >no restrictions policy.
Thirdly, lock them in recent menu.
Done.
You need to do these steps for apps such as alarm, email clients and the ones you mentioned. I had to do this with Google photos as well so that it could sync on its own.

yes ive done all this but the problem with this is
1. my recent mennu is filled with locked apps
2. some apps start as purely service no visible window
i have to launch it manually so the window appears in recents. eg lux and kinscreen.
any solution to make miui to treat apps and services like stock android. No other OS does this. This is ridiculous
I'm out of ideas now.:laugh:
Check if disabling cleaning of cache memory in battery settings changes anything for you.
Same here. Tried this all, but apps still getting killed. I can't use my gear fit 2 pro app in background. Everytime I clear the recent menu gear got disconnected. Someone please help!
POCO F1 - No root - Locked bootloader - Fully stock
This is the most annoying thing about MIUI. I use Blokada and I need to keep it locked on recents which I hate the most. If I don't lock it and clear recets, Blokada gets killed and VPN gets turned OFF. Can't use live wallpaper for the same reason. On AOSP based ROMs, this problem doesn't exist. It smartly understands which apps need to run in the background and which apps can be killed. Hence, no need to keep an app on the recents. I don't understand what's the necessity of being so aggressive about RAM management when we have 6/8 GB of RAM. Due to this pathetic RAM management, I always see almost 3.9/4 GB free RAM out of 6 GB. And as we know, free RAM is wasted RAM.
There doesn't seem to be a way to turn on high performance mode outside of navigating to battery in the settings and then advanced battery settings. Does anyone know of a way to add a notification switch or even a widget on the home screen to quickly turn it on and off?
Also I have tried my best to eliminate the OS's ability to kill apps running in the background. The one I have issues with the most is PokemonGo. I will switch from one app to another and when going back to PokemonGO it will have killed it and it restarts when going back to it. Loading like I just opened the app for the first time.
Things I have done so far. Disabled battery optimization for the app in the battery settings and turned on "Allow background activity" in the app settings under app management.
I have no task killers installed and the OS is basically stock after a factory reset.
I'm rooted and on DE2118_11_C.16
Have you tried locking the PokemonGo app to prevent it from being suspended?
Also you should check setting under developer mode in APPS section: Susspend execution for cached apps.
I would lower the background process limit from 5 to 3 due to the limited amount of ram on this device and lock any app you want to continue to run if it falls into 4th place.
Also, I would tur off RAM Boost as it does not improve app selection based on my use.
I have it locked yes, still gets closed in the background at random it seems.
RAM Boost was off as well.
The Suspend execution for cashed apps can you explain a bit on how this works? Do I have to cache the app or something in addition for it to work?
I keep the VPN Hotspot, AD Guard, and Pokemon GO locked.

This will "freeze" apps that are cached (past the open app limit) and they will not take any resources. This also will cause them to stop responding like your Pokemon app.
