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.

Whenever anyone asks about stuff running the background and how to kill it, the responses always include - "don't worry about it" - Why not? Why should I be ok with the idea that a program that I downloaded, but never ran, is running in the background?
People don't say its 'ok' for all of those apps to be running in the background. It just depends on the type of app before you start to worry. It's 'ok' for some of those apps since they may do some sort of service which is required by either the user or the system.
Another thing to remember is that Android will manage running apps by itself, so when necessary it will kill apps to make sure it has enough available memory to run stuff that you manually start up.
If you'd rather be in control of manually killing running apps then I'd recommend a free all-in-one app called ZDBox (available via the android market):
ZDbox is an amazing all-in-one toolbox. Five stars in xda forum.

Since you don't need to use them, why you download them?
Well, I think the free all-in-one app is a good choice.
there are lots of apps functioning like that
Because google loves to spy on us.
It's ok because it's how you get a lot of functionality from some apps. Some Widgets for example need to update regularly (while you are on the homescreen at least) so that you get the latest information.
A well written app will only update / run when necessary (using the AlarmManager class typically). Too frequent updating will cause problems with battery life, none at all will cause out of date data being shown (e.g. for my Awesome Widgets I have to update my clock widget very regularly while it is being viewed in order that I can update the clock time (and weather if it has changed)).
It's not about spying, it's about getting functionality out of your Android device.
All the best,

its just bull****! sory! i have had bRIA take up like 40% of battery even tho i never ran it and i thought it wasnt running ... had to uninstall it... android for sure is great in some areas but definately not perfect,and pls dont tell average users about startup managers etc.
lol nice rant
i use network speed but every 30 mins or so android kills the service. i dont have any task killers etc
checked under dev options and it's not set to kill the apps, and under background process limits,it's set to standard limit. the other options are 1-4 at most. or no background processes.
i had a look at some supercharger guide but it's random as hell.
Anyone?
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.
In Settings -> Smart assistance -> Accessibility -> Downloaded Services, the apps installed there keep getting turned off.
I'm running Type Machine (keystroke logger) and Smart Launcher, and neither will stay enabled. I can turn them on, then a while later, I'll get a notification that Smart Launcher is unable to turn the screen off, and directs me to this setting, where I find both disabled again. I haven't been able to pin down a time frame yet, although it will happen multiple times between reboots. Neither setting survives a reboot, either.
Anyone seen this before? I've found a few reports of it on Reddit, but no solutions. Can't believe I couldn't find anything about it on here.
Aside from this and other small annoyances like the touchscreen apparently losing calibration, it's a fantastic phone.
I sometimes have this issue with nova launcher as well. You can go battery settings > app launch > turn the two apps to manual manage. It may solve this issue of them auto turning off.

Thanks, I've done that and will keep an eye on it to see if that solves the problem.
I have this issue frequently with MacDroid. I have MacDroid set to manual battery control and have excluded it from pretty much all system management. It also has every permission known to mankind.
Oddly, even when Accessibility shows that MacDroid is disabled, sometimes (most of the time) it continues to function. So this may be a UI bug as much as a system disabling the services bug.
The cause I am not sure. I only know the downloaded service for Nova Launcher gets auto turned off if you switch back to Huawei launcher. However, it does NOT get auto switch off when you remain on nova launcher.

It doesn't seem to affect apps running at all, merely affects certain specific features. In the case of Type Machine, it seems to just be blocking its ability to capture words coming off the keyboard app. The app is still running, I can still see previous captures, it just stops capturing.
With Smart Launcher, it says it's needed specifically to "allow Smart Launcher to expand the notification panel and the quick settings panel".
I changed the power settings per Koong1's suggestion... they turned off again after a while, but I re-enabled both, and they've stayed on ever since. So that may have solved it.

You can try restarting your device to check if they stayed enabled. If it does, then they are pretty likely to remain stay enabled in the future.
New here. Any help would be appreciated. I have followed videos and other posts but still can't consistently get notifications unless the app is open in the background. Any way around that besides locking it? Are we just limited to 5 apps that get consistent notifications by locking them in the background?
There are 10 apps (can't change the apps) that Oppo gives you the option to auto launch. If enabled these 10 apps will always display notifications. You can then select another 5 from all your other apps.
Before I got rid of the phone I downloaded an app to autolaunch a bunch of my apps so it's running in the background.
any way to set NOVA Launcher or other third party launcher as default here ?
Dear OPPO if you are reading here: Please release OTA to fix this problem as you just made on Android 13 and Find N1 ....

You can further lock 5 apps in the recent apps so that the system doesn't kill them and you'll get the notifications. In addition I would suggest to deactivate all battery optimisations for the apps you wish to receive the notifications:
Settings - apps - app management - you choose the desired app - battery usage - activate allow background activity.
Then you go to App - associated launch ( this is valid for the apps for which you DIDN'T allow auto launch) and enable it for the apps you wish to get the notifications for.
Lastly go to Battery - more settings - optimize battery use and for the apps you wish to get the notifications you need to choose "don't optimise".
Hope it helps

Unless the apps are running in the background (excluding the ones that you set to autolaunch), even with battery optimisation disabled etc you will not get timely notifications.

Yeah that's what I have noticed. I'm toying with the idea to use a secondary phone to get my notifications. Don't want to go through the hassle of sending it back.
I've had mine a week now and I'm getting used to only getting limited notifications. I just can't get my head around why they prioritise battery life over receiving notifications in China? I've always kept notifications to a minimum on my phones but 5 apps just isn't enough. You need a couple of messaging apps, maybe social media, banking etc to alert you to suspicious activity, they soon add up.
