Does anyone know how to force stop an app using the gestures controls on OOS? Is it even possible?
On some ROMs, if you are using buttons for navigation, you can always go into developer options and enable the "hold back button to kill." Doing this will Force Stop the application you're currently using. I'm not sure if OOS supports this natively, but there are also apps on the playstore that do this, however, none that I can find are for gestures.
The only other way I know how to do so is by either long pressing the app and going into the app info or getting to the app info through the system settings and force closing from there.
PS. I know you can swipe the apps from the recent apps menu but that doesn't force stop an app.

I don't like my homescreens to autorotate but I do like it when I am using my keyboard in apps such as forums and texting.
Is there an app that will set autorotate to OFF on my homescreens and ON when using my keyboard? Or maybe where I could specify which apps I want to activate it on and have it work automatically?

Not really any apps that I know of that can "detect" when you need the auto rotate function to work. But, I use Switch Pro with the auto rotate on my homescreen and I use Quick Settings, which works on any screen by using a long press on the search button. This calls up the app and I can activate auto rotate and quickly go back to the previous screen. Hope this helps.
Well, there is an app in the Market called "Auto-Rotate Status Bar Switch" that turns auto rotate on and off from your Notification Bar. It works fine and I use it, but I was just hoping for an app that automated the process.
There is another app called "Rotation Toggler" that is actually even better. You can just turn rotation on and off by long pressing the Search button and clicking their icon.
tasker.. you can set auto rotate to turn on when you open specific apps

Hello,
Is there a way to disable the back key function during a certain app? I play a lot of Heads Up Charades on my phone and people don't understand that if they hit back, it closes the app. So, my question, is there a way to disable it while that app is loaded?
Thanks guys.
I want to change the behavior of the long-press on the home button so it doesn't try to launch assistant. I'd like it to do nothing.
I tried disabling assistant, but this just displays an obnoxious banner telling me to turn on assistant.
I did find this app that allows you to remap the button to all sorts of things, but would prefer something that doesn't need all those permissions.
This is with 3-button navigation enabled as I'm using Nova Launcher on Android 10. Phone is not rooted.
[edit] and of course, I found the answer immediately after posting the question:
Settings > Apps & Notifications > Default apps > Assist app - change it to "None"

Only thing is if you use the "Squeeze" for Google Assistant it disables that too. Which is good or bad depending on how you feel about GA. I just got mine today so I'm still playing with things. Might delete later,IDK.
Hello,
I don't know if you will be able to help me because I have the impression that the factory rom has some gaps.
My Dragon Blaze game launches in the background upon startup / restart. Yet I have checked many times and no applications have an automatic launch. In addition to that, I am unable to close the app when I press the Recent key. It remains locked with the padlock. If anyone can help me that would be nice.
I added 2 photos.
Thanks you.

1. What are you using to check autostart? Is it a built in feature? It can be problematic to limit what autostarts on some Android ROMs.
2. Apps with padlock will stay in recents list, that's a feature. Try to hold/swipe from recent menu, should be possible to unlock it.
It autostarts because it is locked. You can try long-press on the app icon while in Recents and tap on Unlock or something like that.
Thank you, I have to find a solution. When I long-press on the app icon while in Recent, I scroll to the down for unlock/lock the app.
But I don't know why the app automatically auto-start and lock at the restart.
Hi,
I have a joying UIS7862, 6GB+128GB,10.1" 1920x1200 head unit .
I am trying to use a navigation bar type application. After installing this application in the accessibility settings there is a new option that must be enabled for this app to work.
After enabling this option, the application works fine, but every time unit wakes up from sleep, this setting goes back to off.
Of course if you switch it to 'on' the application works fine again.
Does anyone know how to set this option permanently?
(the same problem concerns also other navigation bar apps )

What app are you using?
Have you tried installing it as a system app?

It is 'simple control - navigation bar' . But I have tried many of them and it was the same.
How can I install it as a system app?
What application is this?
What accessibility option are you using?
Perhaps there is a way to use Tasker to enable this option on starts

This is navigation bar type application. Just back, home and recent button. I thought about tasker, but I can not get it to perform a task at system wake up. Tasker is probably killed when device goes to sleep and then automatically restored but with some delay. It works after the system wake up, but I can not find the way to make it react to waking up ....
I would start by creating a tasker task that makes the appr. system changes. Then put a tasker widget/button on your home screen for that task. From there you can work on automating it via any of the many options you might have available thru tasker (screen/wifi/bt on/off etc)
in my unit (mekede), there is an option in the settings to autostart up to 3 apps. maybe if yours has that, it would help
All of the apps I use stay in memory while the unit is asleep

Exactly, the newer Mekede/NOR MCU units do this really well.
Up to three apps can be defined.
