When I long-press the home button, a big half-ring comes up, with a big Google button at the top (that takes you to Google Now). The rest of the ring shows nothing.
Is that it? Is there anything I can do to customize this? The size of the half-ring visually suggests that other 'buttons' could live on that ring and be swiped to, but I've found no settings to allow that.
As it stands, seems like a silly and redundant function, given that I can already swipe up, or swipe right, to get to Google Now.
Features can be added in most custom ROMs, but not stock.

Bump!
I am running stock 5.1 on my N5 with Nova launcher. I am presented with a few options when I long press home, back, and recents. I preferred search but wanted to try screen off.
How do I clear defaults for this selection?? I'm going nuts trying to find the setting.
I don't think its a launcher setting. It happens with Nova and gNow launchers. I tried clearing the google apps defaults, no go.
Any suggestions?
EDIT!!!!
Found it!!!!
Its a Greenify feature. Cleared Greenify's defaults. Resolved.
I can select from Google, Tasker, Secure Settings, and "Complete action using Hibernate + Lock Screen" with a Greenify icon to the left. Interesting.

Oh my, why did you bump a 2 year old thread...
Hi there,
is there a way to stop apps being killed?
Some of the apps, that I need to stay open, are being automatically killed in the background, even though there is enough RAM (2.2GB).
I went to battery settings or anything, but there is no option that I could find.
Any way to do it without root?
Regards

It's done differently on EMUI 8 devices.
Settings > Battery > App launch
Select your app, turn off the toggle so you get a pop-up called Manage manually. Make sure the three options are enabled (blue) then press the OK button.
This will stop the operating system from closing the app.

Might be Doze doing that then. Try playing with those settings:
Open the 'Settings' app
Select 'Apps and Notifications'
Select 'Apps'
Press the 'Settings' cog at the bottom of the screen
Select 'Special Access'
Select 'Ignore Battery Optimisation'

Did not know about that, will try it out, thanks!
Done this, app is still being closed, even when I opened it the evening before I went to sleep. It is an app that will alert me when someone is having a hart-attack in my neighbourhood. Quit annoying.
For EMUI 8, tried everything on mate9, any setting is useless to stop closing apps in background, only can do:
1. swift to apps using push notification
2. downgrade to EMUI5.0
3. rooting if possible.
What I have found is that if you lock the app in the open app manager window it won't kill it.
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.
Hi ,
There is an issue i cannot solve on my phone.
I have Spotify installed and running on my device, so far so good.
But even if this music app is not running (also in the background) at all, this "media output device" notification is
being shown ALL THE TIME ! It even shows uo everytime i restart my phone.
As i already said, it has nothing to do with Spotify, as i disabled that notification anyway.
Anyone knows how to get rid of this ?
Kind regards,
Valy
I am facing the same issue. Any solution..?
I have picked up a similar issue when using samsung music or vlc. When I stop listening to music it's there...swipe away, after a while it's back...oncy after the 2nd or 3rd swipe it stays away until the next time I listen to music. I have a bixby routine that opens vlc when I connect my buds pro and reverses it, so technically it must close the app and it works, but notifications doesn't go away
Did anyone ever solve this?
I have found that Spotify really doesn't like to actually close/quit unless I kill it from the Apps menu. I even went so far as to program a Tasker task to call the Spotify info screen in the Apps menu (where the Force Stop button is) and then actually "push" the Force Stop button, accept the prompt, and return to home. It was surprisingly complex to do, might be easier to do with Bixby (haven't dived into Bixby much just yet, been using Tasker since 2012 and habits are hard to break ), but so far it's the only way I've found to definitively kill Spotify, and in turn, that notification.
On stock Android, there is an "Media" sub menu in the "Sounds & Vibrations" settings that allows you to "Hide player when the media session has ended". Samsung for whatever reason decided to remove it, however, you can bring it up again with Nova Launcher.
Steps in Nova Launcher:
1) Add new "Nova Launcher->Activity" widget to the homescreen
2) Refer to screenshot 1. Go to the "Settings" dropdown and pick the option circled.
3) Click on the widget once it's created, you should see the hidden "Media" sub menu, refer to screenshot 2.
4) Uncheck "Pin Media Player".
Done, the Spotify notification will disappear after you swipe Spotify away in the Recents menu. Note, this doesn't fix the problem with Samsung Music thou as swiping away Samsung Music doesn't technically close it. You'll have to find another music player if you want it to behave the same as Spotify.
I fixed it using the Nova Launcher method. Thanks!

Settings - Notifications. Tap more. If Spotify is not in the most recent, tap Most Recent, select All and then scroll down until you find Spotify abs toggle it off. You can toggle any other app notifications off too.

This worked! I had the same problem! I installed Nova Launcher in hopes of solving the 'media output' floater always coming back. But for other Samsung S22 Ultra owners, I found the items looked somewhat different. The "media_controls_title" was instead just titled 'Media.' After I found it, it opened and contained the same buttons listed above. Thank you!

Try the Ncleaner app from the play store. You may uninstall it after your done
Found a way of doing this via Tasker. Create and run this task (only once) to disable the hidden setting.

As a reference, for me, in Nova Settings i had to do the following (i have the interface a little bit different):
Add new "Nova Launcher->Activity" widget to the homescreen
Select "Settings" (it has 368 subitems for me)
find "Media" (it shows ".Settings$MediaControlsSettingsActivity" under it)
After that use the shortcut as advice FrydaeXIII said (points 3 and 4 from hist post)

Uncheck "Show media recommendations"
