Hello.

There is no app for this.
If you just want to freeze timers in games just force close the app or you can disable background processes for the app.
Most games don't use the timer on the phone, rather on the servers instead.

I have a problem with the screen timeout on gaming or using some applications like audiobook readers.
Problem is when I play NFS shift, screen timeout is activated after 30 seconds or whatever I set. I don't want to happen like this because I play game :S I mean system shouldn't activate screen timeout on games or some applications. Also I use audiobook reader and this problem happens too on this application. But I want to read and listen up to audiobook finish but timeout is activated again, what a disappointment.
This problem is sourced by application or Android OS ?
My OS is 2.3.4
Some applications I don't want to happen like this.
AngryBirds,Fluentizer,NFS Shift,Even All Games Some British Council Apps.
Can you give some advices ?
PS: question is not mine it is quoted from other android forum by user ScHaO. I have same problem

Hi everyone!
When my phone is idle some application are starting by themselves and they consume a lot of memory! I can see them from the go launcher killer I have!
Is there any way to stop these applications from auto starting?

Yes there is a way. The reason why these apps start by themselves is because different apps peg themselves to specific trigger events in Android. As such, when such events occur, these apps will request Android to load them into RAM and run in the background.
Example of such trigger events is "A SMS is received" I found nonsense app that start themselves ie Asphalt 5.
So how do you prevent them from starting up like that? Go install the app called Autostarts. It is a paid app though. Run the app and scroll through the many "trigger events" Disable some of the apps from starting with the said events at your discretion.
In my case, my philosophy is i start the app at my own pace, whenever i want. I don't like push notifications except for SMS. Therefore be warned prior to doing this.
DO NOT DISABLE ANY PARTICULAR APP ESPECIALLY SYSTEM APPS unless you know what you are doing.

I think background apps still starting even when you paly games, because it's the way android works. Regarding kcryptd maybe this can help you, here.
Hmmm...backgrounds process can be disable using two apps....
1. Autorun Manager (Need pro to fully unlock all features)
2. System Cleanup
with autorun manager and system cleanup, you can disable certain apps receiver that make the apps auto start itself even after you have kill it....those receiver is mainly for the apps widgets receiver, broadcast receiver and CD2M receiver....if you disable those receiver (example widgets receiver) you can make the apps not restarting again and again but you will lose the option to add the app widgets on your home screen....if you disable the CD2M receiver (example facebook), you will never get any notifications/alert cause the facebook is not running on your phone backgrounds...you will only received the notifications/alert if you open facebook..
basically, i use autorun manager cause using that apps, you can view all apps receiver and disable it...once you have disable it, the apps will never restart again after reboot or after certain period of time....
I can't keep running any background related apps such as Sports Tracking apps or Fitnes app. After a while all background automatically stops.
For example Mi Fit app which connects to my amazfit bip closes after 5-10 mins. Also I have tried these apps which runs in the background:
Endomondo Sports Tracker
Twilight
Flynx
Which need to run in the background to work, but as they are automatically closes themselves, these apps aren't usable. I think Android Go aggresively optimizes the ram and not allowing any apps on the background.
I have tried to clear my ram by clearing all recent apps, and running only one background apps. That doesn't help either. I have checked that almost 350mb of Ram is still available. This is making Nokia 1 pretty useless as I can't run my daily driving apps on them.
Is there any solution to this, so that I can keep the background apps from automatically stopping.

Try root.
And if/when you've rooted your device. Download in Magisk Appsystemizer https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-app-systemizer-t3477512
Hope this helps.
facing same problem.
i cant even record the calls.because whenever i lock the screen. the app get stopped.
Same for me. I've tried security soft and parental control soft from Kaspersky and Norton respectively but both apps were killed randomly when the phone is idle. I did allow them to run background and disable battery optimization but no luck.
Same here, keep screen by g sensor, hold screen on, nothing stay in idle... By lucky, the music stays.
Update your Nokia 1 device, the try...
i was wondering..... some apps like greenify or superfreezZ use accessibility usage to track the app behaviour and auto hibernate them, but since android 9 there is a new command to restrict the background activity of an app and it is RUN_ANY_IN_BACKGROUND
you can simply enable in app info>battery>background restriction set to RESTRICT.
is it a "better" way to hibernate an app and stop all trackers, alarms and services that DRAIN the phone battery? or maybe it's is less powerfull than "force stop" the app?
how does compare DOZE to RUN_ANY_IN_BACKGROUND ? i suppose 1st is a generall switch off for all apps, BUT only on screen off. when you use the phone the "bad" app could continue to do what he wants, wakelocks, call some strange domains to receive or updload datas.... BUT WHAT IF it is restricted by RUN_ANY_IN_BACKGROUND? the app is not force stopped but should be something like hibernated when it's not foreground....?

Force Stop = "Hibernate"
Force Stop = App is killed and removed from memory, and (for the most part) not be able to start itself up again. User can. I read you asked the exact same question elsewhere and some talked how apps can restart themselves. Yes, its true BUT its the exceptioopn, not the rule. The only app that ciones to mind at the moment in my past is Google Play. His statement is misleading in practical everyday use. Test it for yourself.
I havent used it, but, RUN_ANY_IN_BACKGROUND explicitly requires the "deny" or "allow" attribute. The app is still in memory and therefore would have some possibility of bringing itself back to life; much more so than a force-stop. Some apps are developed with running a service as a foreground app. Also, RUN_ANY_IN_BACKGROUND is a TESTING feature of android.
ie Force Stop > RUN_ANY_IN_BACKGROUND
I have a hot spot on my home screen (custom launcher allowing scripts) that turns my screen oof and then force-stops all apps that I do not want running in the background.
You want an app to stop consuming battery, then force-stop is the way to go.
"RUN_ANY_IN_BACKGROUND is a TESTING feature of android."
mhhh so u say that not every app will really stop his background behaviour for sure? i thought that the command is quite sure to keep a closed app a "not battery hungry" app, stopping some services, alarms.
basically if u would choose an app to force close apps, would u choose superfreezz (because it s foss) over other alternatives like greenify or brevent?
because i would avoid to install any app for this, IF the command RUN_ANY....... is to consider quite powerfull and acceptable to "stop draining " battery from malicious apps...

If you want to stop it, the a force stop is the way. Its much more "powerful" than what you found.

I explained to you, I use a shell script to get the job done. No need for another app, that also may consume unnecessary battery and memory.
