Looking for app to keep other apps from being killed

Hi All,
Most people are looking for apps to kill other apps when they are running - I'm actually looking for the opposite. Phone keeps killing apps to free up some RAM here and there, and some of the apps to not restart themselves. Are there any good apps out there that can be used to monitor specific apps and restart them if they are killed by the system?
Thanks!

What ROM are you running? You can try an app called AutoMemoryManager and play around with the values there. See which apps fall into which categories and go from there. I have this same problem with my music sometimes. This seemed to help. It's not exactly what youre looking for, but the app is supposed to prevent apps from being killed as quickly.

Did you tried V6 Supercharger by Zeppelinrox? (Is not an app is a huge script that contain another scripts inside "bulletproof" is what you need).

Thanks, I ended up using App Settings module from the Xposed framework. Working like a charm.

How are you using it? The keep resident setting? On which apps?

Correct, resident is checked. Using on:
- Ultimate Dynamic Navbar Pro
- Smart Statusbar+ Pro
- GMD Gesture Control Pro
- Switchr
- 1-Tap Quick Bar
- Rotate Screen
- C Locker Pro
-OneQuick

Correct. Solves it enough that the apps I wanted to stay active throughout the day are still active at this time - typically many of them have been killed by now (just checked, the only one that has been killed off is C Locker Pro, and I may have inadvertently killed it myself earlier).

cyanogenmod smart cover settings

So cyanogenmod has finally added support for smart covers, and I have flip cover (without "smart hole" xD) for long time now, but it wasn't working, as there wasn't (up 'till now) support for that magnetic switch, that enables/disables display. Now I can activate my display with smartcover opening, but it doesn't deactivate on close, and I would like to change if I will or won't see my lockscreen (where I have time, notifications, camera shortcut and so on... ).
When I was on touchwiz android (you know, first two days of pain xD ), there were settings for that:
- enable/disable flip cover functionality
- enable/disable lockscreen on flip
- disable display on closed flip
*or something similar
I don't see anything of sorts in cyanogenmod settings - where can I find those things (if I can), or can they be configured through some files (like dpi for instance), or is there an app that can manage that configuration, or is it something on "todo" list (is there a todo list for cyanogenmod?)... any response is appreciated, as current state is actually worse than nonworking flip, as if it opens "in pocket" for a second, screen will stay activated...
PS: google can only find that cyanogenmod added smart cover support - multiple articles are just reprinting changelog and that's it
PPS: note 3 hlte, 17.9. nightly cyanogenmod

anyone?

So, it is fixed now. Opening enables display and closing disables it.
That being said, I would still like to have some options related to it (enabling it altogether, enable/disable lockscreen skip and so on).

Hmm I read somewhere that is possible. I remember downloading an apk to fix that.

How do I change grid view to list view for apps?

Hello everyone,
since Saturday I got a new Xperia Z5 after using my beloved Galaxy S2 for 4 (or 5?) years.
Honestly, I didn't want a new phone, but it was just too slow and finally didn't function any more.
So now I am personalizing my new Phone, but am really disturbed by the app menu.
Apps on different pages, where I have to scroll and look for an app? What is this? 2010?
I am so used to the list view on TouchWiz and Cyanogenmod.
How do I get that onto my Xperia Z5 Phone?
Here are some screenshots for clarification. (sorry I can't post links yet)
I have this: googledrive.com/host/0B71qahVEwjt5X1RPY2pSVmdPWmc/gridview
(currently using Google Now Launcher, which is at least closer to what I want)
I want this: androidbeat.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/CM13-app-drawer.png
Or what would even be better, but I guess not possible, this: cdn.cultofandroid.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/07/applistview.jpg
I hope you know what I mean and can help me.
BR,
Rastla

quite easy to do with another launcher. You can do it with nova launcher how you want it.

And wth!? Nothing easier than a Sony ui menu. Almost complete stock Android. You should even have a quick search bar on top, you can move your apps in the app draw where you want them to be etc.
It's all a little more overviewed compared to Samsung, that's one reason I love sony's ui so much

stock sony ui doesn't have a search bar at top (only the google now launcher).
its just that old grid view i know from early android days. i would even go so far, to compare it to windows 98.
it's impractical and definitively not good overviewed imho.
what can be more practical than a simple A-Z list?

I settled for the Google Now Launcher and the alphabetical icons since it's not too different from the stock launcher and has no ads

How to use Digital Wellbeing on MIUI 10 (android 9) :

Here are step-by-step instructions on how to enable digital wellbeing on the Poco F1. This technique should work with other Xiaomi devices, but I don't know if it will. Please tell me if it works for you and I'll add them to the list :
List of devices for which this technique works :
Xiaomi Pocophone F1
Xiaomi Mi 8 SE
Redmi note 7
Redmi 6 pro
Huawei mate 10 pro
First, download the latest digital wellbeing apk from this link
Install the apk as you would any app.
Now the app is installed, but there's no way of opening it. The regular way is through settings, but there is no option for it in Xiaomi's settings. You need to install QuickShortcuts to access it.
Now open QuickShortcuts and scroll down or look up "digital" and click on the list item "digital wellbeing".
In the sub-list that opens, click on the second option, and then on "try". This will open the digitall wellbeing dashboard. The big wheel should not appear yet, because you haven't authorized it access. That's what we're gonna do.
Click on the first option, "Dashboard", then "change in settings" and authorize usage access for the app.
Now go back to the wellbeing app and to access it a little more easily, check "Show Icon in the App list" at the bottom of the page.
You can now uninstall QuickShortcuts if you want, digital wellbeing's icon will stay in your launcher.
Profit ?
P.S : While the dashboard and usage graphics work, wind down currently does not work on Xiaomi devices.
If you really need wind down, you can complain in the feedback app, and hope that MIUI devs add this in an update, or MIUI 11.
I needed this myself and thought i'd share once I fond how to add this. Also if I ever switch ROMs I have a quick tutorial to get this back. Let me know if this helped you by hitting the thanks button!

Wind Down is not working

Excellent tip!
Thanks a lot for sharing this. Great use for me.

Yeah. I know there are third-party apps that do this now, but the official tool is better imo.

You can report this in the feedback app.

Worked on a Redmi Note 7 AND my Huawei Mate 10 Pro. Good Guide.

ThankyouSoMuch
It worked on my Redmi 6 pro!
Thanks Again <3

Works on redmi note 7. Thank you ❤

I don't have a specific answer but a good place to start would be to get rid of Facebook messenger.

Have you instaled any app related to speed optimization? What kind of Vivo Nex do you have?
Enviado desde mi vivo NEX S mediante Tapatalk

The indian version.
No, it came up after the android 9 update.
Cheers

look if Facebook Messenger is not in "game mode" because otherwise Facebook app will be recognized as a game is suddenly your phone starts to boost for your more power! (Google translation)

Is there a specific path for that? It doesn't appear on my "Play Games" library and I cannot find any related setting in messenger.
Cheers
PS: I just found the solution. I turned off the Game Cube toggle in the control center. Thank you all for your help ?
