Keep background apps - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello, i want to keep my background apps running but i dot want to have a notification for every single app (im using Macrodroid, LSPosed and Alexa Bluetooth devices). Is there a way to have only one notification for every background service?
Im using a Poco x3 Pro with MIUI 14.0.1.0 (from Xiaomi.eu)
I have a lot of RAM, if needed.

How is Greenify running without a notification showing?

From one developer to another, I was wondering how Greenify runs background services without showing a notification on Android Oreo. Is it still targeting an old version of Android?

Best Pace notification app?

I've seen a lot of notification management apps here in XDA but what's the best for you? One that doesn't need rooting or any system modification. Just installing it is enough.
For me Amazmod is very good and battery friendly
I am currently using watchdroid
I am currently using watchdroid (8.2.17.8 - phone and 8.0.15.8 watch APK). It is pretty good, there are a few things i'd change since it does more than notifications which is really all I want from it. I see postings for AmazMod and AMF and wonder if anyone has used all three and can compare and contrast them? When I got my Stratos, watchdroid was the only one I think and I'll stuck with it out of entropy but if folks are getting better results out of the others, I'd like to hear that too.
Thanks.
I really like Amazmod and have used it without the service.apk on the watch(best batterylife), All I really want is to ungroup my notifications... I honestly do not understand why the Amazfit guys could just enable that in the stock app... I'm currently using Watchdroid as it very polished and the notifications are clean and provides ways to exit menu's like swipe right etc. Also, it give you the ability to send files to your watch via wifi and remote control the camera on your phone. The music player control and contacts options I feel are useless as the default music player is much easier accessible(just swipe up). On the negative, watchdroid's Google Map notifications are not great and hurts your battery life.
I've not used AMF simply because it seems Watchdroid ticks all the boxes and is more polished. Battery life with WD is about 2-3 days(mostly 2 for me).
Amazmod is really great if you want an improved stock experience and honestly I feel its the best option, especially if you do not use the service.apk on the watch. Battery life is great and your messages can be ungrouped(meaning you can read each message you received by just going to your notification history.
But like what I've said earlier, Watchdroid is the most polished. I really hope the developer does not stop developing now that Amazmod is here.

App/Magisk module to make legacy apps use the whole screen?

Is there an app, Magisk module or setting through Android shell (or adb) to make legacy apps use the whole screen?
By 'whole screen' I don't mean removing the navigation and status bars, but to stretch (often old) apps that can not automatically adapt to the screen ratio found on newer Android phones.
I know some custom ROMs have this feature (EvoX and MIUI), but the ROM I use (crDroid or stock) doesn't have this feature.

Redmi Note 9s MIUI 12.0.2 (Android 11) update

I will advise everyone not to update to
MIUI 12.0.2, android 11 cause I wish I didn't. The Gallery app is a downgrade. Plus the Work mode icon that I don't think anyone needed. There are other things I don't like and I generally consider this update to be a downgrade .
I've just received the update notification and havent read much about this update apart from your post.
Could you expand any further on the things you've found wrong? Has it gotten any better or worse for you since you've updated?
Yesterday I updated from 12.0.6.0. So far, (to me) the most annoying thing introduced in 12.0.2.0 is navigation gestures don't work with 3rd party launchers anymore (even Poco Launcher). I found a trick to use at least the "back" gesture but you come back to default launcher if you try to use "home" (swipe up from bottom border to center). So, to use all Navigation Gestures you are obligued to use system launcher.
After updating to this version , I can't use any wifi access point. And gallery app works bad. And themes are few

Question A few questions about MiPad 5pro and MiUI

Hi there - I have recently purchased the MiPad5pro and have a few questions about the tablet and MiUi in general as this is my first Xiaomi device. I'm running the latest available version for MiUi for the pad5pro in China.
1. Has anyone been able to get Novalauncher to work? I get an error saying only those launchers verified by Xiaomi are allowed. Is that a miui issue or a miui for pad issue? Any other launchers recommended? I use Oneplus for my phone and have it set up with novalauncher that allows me to have the google shelf when swiping to the left from the home screen. I'd love to have that feature on my mipad.
2. is there a way to natively translate text on the screen? For eg: ColorOs has a built in screen translater that allows you to translate any part of the screen or the entire screen. Anything similar available for miui natively?or any apps that you'd recommend that aren't loaded with ads?
3. without root, is there a way to remove miAI and make Google assistant the default assistant app and get it to work in all the apps?for example, the miui clock app has a mic option for assistant but it triggers miai even though I have set Google assistant as my default ai app. Also, every time the tab is restarted, it defaults to miai as the default ai app instead of the previously set Google assistant.
Happy to answer any questions anyone might have if they are looking at buying this tablet.
Yes I am on the same CN stock ROM (do we have any other choice atm?). I am hating MIUI every minute of the day...
1. You can choose Nova as your default launcher. But you have to do so from Nova, not MIUI settings.
2. Sorry I don't know... I gather you're talking about an app that reads a text off a picture? You tried the stock Gallary app (the purple one)? If you didn't find the function in the app, then maybe it's not possible without a 3rd party app?
3. My pad is rooted, but I've tried what you asked... It looks like your choice of the detault assistant app (I tried google) stays after reboot. I set the detault through 'default app' on settings.
I hope we will be out of this misery soon. MIUI (Chinese version) is a torture.

Thanks. I don't hate the MiUi, it serves my purposes, just hoping to get a few of these issues fixed.
Was able to get Nova sorted like you mentioned, but Nova didn't work too well as it doesn't fully move to landscape mode.
#2 is the one I need most, so hopefully if someone else has an app they can recommend. It is not just about a picture, but about text in any app. Hoping for a 3rd party app that can be used that doesn't have a bunch of ads every time you use it.
I removed MiAi using this method along with some other Chinese language apps
It seems safe and you can re install or re enable the apps of you have any problems.

I have the solution to 3.
Without root, it's just a matter of getting the permissions correct.
Xiaomi has a privacy setting in the Google permissions that grants the permissions without confirming with google. That's why you can't get the default assistant to stick.
This will fix it. Give google always allow on device info inside the Google app, not assistant app.
Enjoy.
