Ok, what's going on with startup apps? - Huawei Ascend Mate 2

There are a few apps I need to start after a reboot. Apparently none of them are. Is there a setting somewhere in the mess of settings that I just can't find? The apps have their internal "start at boot" but they just don't.
The last straw was when I installed Tasker to start the 2 or 3 apps at boot, but guess what....Tasker doesn't start either!
What is going on? Apparently prior versions of Huawei android had it, at least in a convoluted way as seen in this thread here.
I found the setting for Power Intensive apps like in that thread, but it doesn't list any apps. Adding the app to Protected Apps doesn't allow it either.

It drives me crazy. Also, apps with accessibility/notifications access enabled keep getting disabled. Oh, and if you swipe an app with persistent notifications away from the recent apps list the notification goes away too, defeating the purpose of persistent notifications.
The update we have is a "Lollipop preview" and is supposed to be updated again in the future. Huawei messed this up again somehow.

Probably stupid question, but have you allowed these apps in startup manager?

Settings -> Startup manager. It's on EMUI 3.0, but I assume on 3.1 it should be the same.

I don't see it. Maybe it varies by region/software.

Yeah, I think we are missing it.

I don't have that either.

Wonder if it's an app that can be pulled? Check for us please @Kostyan_nsk

Well, seems like Startup manager is a part of Phone manager app. Check, do you have such or not? If you do, then select Permission manager and then Startup manager at the top.
Btw, do you have Permisssion manager in your settings list? Because Startup manager can be accessed from there either.

---

We have the phone manager, but it doesn't have permission manager or startup manager. Would you mind posting the apk and odex for Phone Manager and I'll see if it works? I doubt it will.
Edit: I managed to get it from a random emui 3.0 rom I found, didn't work. App just crashes like I expected it to.

Whaaaaaa? Does it have start up manager and does it actually work? I'm back on Jellybean for the moment.

Seems to work just fine.
Yes, it has Startup Manager. It's the same thing that was pictured in Kostyan_nsk post.

Doesn't seem to be working for me on a HAM2 that's (so far) unrooted since the update. That's on the basis of just one attempt though; will try again later.

Now all I need to fix is the damn audio cutting out.

It allows me to "enable" startup apps, but they don't actually startup. Things like Viper, and battery overlay still need to be launched after a reboot.

Same here, using Ascend Mate 2 it takes the settings but doesn't start the app...

Yup, nvm, doesn't actually work. Guess I'm going to have to go back to 4.3.
