Hey guys,
in case you are not happy with the default One UI apps background management, you can check this solution. In a nutshell, there is a Memory Guardian module part of Good Guardians, that allows the user to switch from default to the so called "quick switching mode" that somehow reduces the aggressive background app killing, i.e. app refresh.
Moderator Edit: YouTube link removed due to violation of XDA external links policy.
I have tested this with following apps:
- Spotify
- Mixcloud
- Instagram
- Snapchat
- Tiktok
- Youtube
Some other users tested this with Waze and other apps and it seems that it works.
What is the idea? Well imagine you are browsing through insta and you find a nice post that you d like to check, but then something else pops up and you switch to another app. Then after you are back to your app (in this case insta) One UI would "refresh" the app, meaning that it will reload it, and you will lose your "last state", i.e. imagine refreshing the app or close/opening it.

It is also supposed to work with some of the heavy games, test it and let me know if you apps refresh is a bit better (i.e. not refreshed so much) or ... no difference at all.
I have tested this on my S22U with 12G of RAM but I guess it should have a better impact for 8 GB and lower RAM configs.
Appreciate the find!
I have 8gb version and apps are staying open much better now

Nice to hear that! Can you let us know which apps did you test? Also - how much of VRAM (Virtual RAM) do you use?
I makes a bit of difference on my 12GB version so I assumed that it would be even better/bigger impact on 8GB and less.
Strangely enough this function is not very popular, was almost not able to find much info around. The whole Good Guardians tools are widely underestimated and they pack a few good tricks.
Thermal Guardian for example can let you adjust the thermal threshold of your phone, so it can potentially tolerate a bit more heat where battery life is exchanged for better peak performance and hopefully also sustained.

So...I just sort of excluded all apps for the most part to test. They stay in ram longer but still hit a point where they refresh. Using 8gb vram but haven't seen ram usage above 6gb or so yet

Can HTRACK be further tweaked, perhaps from dev options? I remember seeing something for background processes, like a limitation factor setting.

update, i must say this app so far has seemed to keep my HTTrack running great in the background, it ha certainly made a difference, i did have it set "unrestricted" in the app settings/battery setting before and that didnt help, this app now works even with the app power settings set to "optimised"

Seems to make a bigger difference on resource hogs like the Sense UI. I tried it running MoDaCo's Desire ROM and it seemed to be faster. I don't notice as much of a difference on Cyanogen ROM's. I am still keeping it installed, even running CM. It hasn't given me any problems and the phone does seem pretty snappy (Although not much better than before, with the Desire exception).

you are right, of course i wouldn't post it here if it couldn't run on N1
post is fixed now.
Been using this the day I got my Nexus One. Does it work? I have no idea! I have no reference points to compare it with.
It's small though and certainly isnt causing any problems. Worst case it does nothing, oh well, best case it helps alot. Pretty sure thats a no-lose scenario.

Task Killers are needed, just not what some people are using them for. For example, the speedtest.net app has a bug where when you back out of the app, it still uses your gps draining your battery, having a task killer will allow you to close that program without having to reboot your phone.

Lol that's funny because that app is the only reason I use a task killer. It is definitely needed for killing apps with bugs but not for keeping apps out of the RAM for no reason.

unfortunately there are many applications which cannot sleep properly, or don't release resources. (the most annoying I met with was TasKiller itself!!!) if you have the time to find out which are these one bye one, you can kill them any time you finish using them. but if you don't want to mess with this, setting lowmemory killer is the best approach as a fix.
"free" memory is not useless: it is always filled up with cache of your most used applications. so you get resource-consuming applications killed, and got cache with preloaded data your phone will probably use.

Does running Advanced Task Manager alongside this app make sense? Is it redundant, helpful or hurtful?

You can just use the built in task killer to do that... menu, settings, apps(programs in a Desire ROM), manage apps, select the app(might want to hit menu, then select running apps only)... then force stop.
Granted, a task killer makes it quicker and easier to bring this list up, but it calls on the built in task killer to actually kill the task.
To the OP, great work! Looks nice! The ability to change how aggressive you want the auto task killing is nice to have, and it is nice to have eye candy when killing a rogue app. All though I don't ever use these sorts of apps, I like what you have done with yours!

Actually process manager part fully works without root (keep alive function connects to minfree and it wont work obviously) but it will just doesnt work, no FC or strange behaviour I also would like to ask you to report back how it behaves on a non rooted device, as i could only test it in dev environments.

Hello,
Usually this kind of app allocates all the free memory available to trigger the OS low memory system.
This way the running apps are closed by OS itself according low memory system policies.
There are a lot of articles around the net explaining the android memory system and why Task Killers should not be used to free memory.
You can start with this article:

I use FMR Memory Cleaner that does the same.
Best.

YAMC uses another method to free up the memory: each app receives a message from the OS to be closed. The way the running apps are closed is safe and it preserves the system's performance.
Just bought the app to support further development, looks promising!
I'll also be trying this one out to see if it might improve my phones speed and feel...
It sounds like a good idea and after reading about the android way of using ram I regret buying ATK back in the day...
Thx!
I guess I bought the app instead of just trying it... Seems very promising... Thank you!

One of the most important tools on my device, is the good old Watchdog that, since the beginning of my SmartPhone era, have watched over my devices and alerted me whenever an app or a system process started to misbehave. But the dog is getting old, already am I finding myself having issues on newer ROM's and the project seams to have died a long time ago. So to save the future of process watching, I decided to create a new watch app, and at the same time trough in some more features. So with no further ado I present Guardian.
Guardian has been build to avoid false reporting. It will not alert you about a game that you are playing, or a music player that is playing music in the background or a video player that you are currently using to watch a movie. It will in most cases not alert you about a small temp. sync operation either. It will alert you whenever these processes keeps spending a lot of process time after they should have quit. Like after you left the game, turned off the music or closed your movie.
Also you can configure Guardian to handle rough processes for you in different circumstances. For an example if you are sleeping, you may possibly not notice any alerts from Guardian. In this case Guardian can force close the rough process automatically so that you can avoid waking up to a burning device or one with no power left.

Hi, I just found this app while having a look at your 'Xposed Additions' which is on sale atm.
I read the description and thought: Wow!
Watchdog was also a loyal fellow for a long time on my devices, but it seems that it died in the past...
Your app seems to be very promising and as far as I can rate it now, it's doing what it's supposed to do
I'll give more feedback after some days of testing - but I really needed to say thank you for this!

I have had it running on my device for several month while developing it, and it has been working quite good. But the real testing is when it hit's multiple devices and users with mixed device use. So feedback would be great.

Not at all. There is a root option that can be enabled. That is used to kill processes that cannot be killed using regular Android tools. Other than that, nothing special is needed to use this, except for a device with Android of cause :s
I'm running your app for several days now. It's stable and doesn't drain the battery - that's good
The only alerts I get (daily) are from the 'Android System'.
A Whitelist feature for that would be great!

Yes battery drain was the most important thing on my mind when making this. No point in watching for rough apps if the watcher acts as a rough app itself.
Whitelist option is on my todo among other things. However maybe you should check this system alert problem? I have been running this app during development for the past 7 month and the only alerts that I got, was the one I triggered for testing purposes. If you don't think that anything is wrong, could you tell me what you are doing to trigger this? Because if this is a false alert, the service should be changed to handle it more correctly. The app should work in a way that makes whitelisting an unnecessary feature.
I can't reproduce it, I simply reflashed my rom, and the problem was gone.
It occurs before over night.
I recently got alerts for titanium backup.
Unexpectedly it made my phone stable
Is it weird that my xperia sola ****ty phone works well with guardian. No launcher redraws anymore and I can multitask now. Does it have memory optimization or something.? Also how can I enable root functions? Does it need exposed framework in root? The root functions etc is grayed out.

It does call some of the Android process tools. Maybe when doing this, it triggers a process sync which cleans up the list properly.
Root allows you to kill all processes, not just background and non-perceptible and also not just Android processes. It is unlocked in the payed version. Xposed Framework is not needed with this option, but it can be used ones I add Wakelock monitoring which will require Xposed.
Ah. Yeah it does make apps seems run faster etc. I tested this to ****ty phone and well it does work wonders. Ram management on xperia 2012 seems the culprit. I suggest installing this to 1gb ram phones and tablet to maximize the effects

Unfortunately, Guardian won't launch in my Nubia Red Magic 3. I used Magisk Hide but still no luck.
Unfortunately Guardian won't launch in my Huawei mate 10 pro.
I wanted a launcher that immediately shows the installed apps and has an option to categorize them. As I couldn't find one I liked, I decided to make Fast Draw.
It's basically an app drawer without support for widgets (but it does support shortcuts) and it's somewhat configurable. That's about it, it's a pretty simple little launcher.
Please give it a try and leave a comment (I have only tested it on two devices so far, please let me know of anything unusual).

Very fluid on my Oneplus One, currently running the SultanXDA Cm14.1 ROM. All the pref settings seem to work, no problem at all. A very nice launcher for anyone wanting to get right down to business when they turn on their phone, and can do without all the eye-candy of transitions and tons of widgets. Perhaps you might consider enabling just one or two widgets sometime in the future for display on the Home category tab.. All in all, I believe it to be a great start, for what it is.
As far as attaching image files of any sort, I believe all you need to do is to scroll to the bottom of the message pane in the "Additional Options" section, and select "Attach Files" manage attachments. I'll give it a test here to confirm...
Nevermind, I see you figured it out...
Nice job :good:
Works on my tablet with android 5.0.1.
It would be great if we could place the apps freely (to have them organized in way comfortable for us), since it's simple and clean it runs very smooth. It feels like the screen is bigger ?.
My only "worry" is that it consumes more than default (launcher3) even though it has less stuff, so idk, hope to see how you improve this app~

Could you tell me the numbers? I also noticed that it consumed a lot more RAM, until checking launcher3's memory use in Android Studio, and noticing it's a much bigger number than it says on the phone. In Android Studio's monitor both apps seemed to use about the same amount (if not using widgets in launcher3). I don't know why there's a difference.

In Android Studio's monitor both apps seemed to use about the same amount (if not using widgets in launcher3). I don't know why there's a difference.

Numbers? (Sorry I'm not very experienced with android related stuff) but well, I checked the ram usage as soon as I went home and it was consuming around 20mb, whereas launcher 3 was consuming 15mb. The difference is not much but as a simple launcher I thought it would consume less.
Maybe making an option to add the apps like the "shortcut" option on old androids 2.3.6 (like, holding tap then finding the app) that way it doesn't have to load all the app icons on the tab of "unmoved apps" ).

Thanks. Yeah, I meant the megabytes.
I'm happy with the battery performance, but only when the screen is on. When I use the phone mostly with the screen on, I get good SOT(6-9 hours), but with the screen off, the battery consumption is terrible. How can I pull this down?
Probably a cloud app; try temporarily disabling Google play Services, Google backup is a dependency as is Playstore, Gmail. Some apps also need it to run. I enable it once or twice a day. Disabled saves 1+%@hr.
Trashware social media apps like fb, WhatsApp etc shouldn't be installed. It all adds up.
6 hours SOT with a 5002 mAh battery isn't good, 9 hrs is fair to poor. That said all Samsung's should be optimized for best performance.
Thanks for your opininon. Are you saying we shouldn't use Whatsapp? Is it real solution?
Unfortunately, because of SD 8 gen 1 limitations (probably worse on Exynos variant), about 6-7 hours SOT is best you're going to get on the S22 ultra.
Try the following guide here & see if it helps your battery life.
I have the Exynos version. My phone has a SOT of about 10 to 12 hours. Rooted and bebloated. I do have the brightness very low though.
Android 13.
OneUI 5.
Latest.
Lightly debloated.
That's interesting. I guess depends on what apps the phone is using during SOT.......
Mind sharing your battery usage breakdown screenshot?

Real as it gets. All social media apps should never be installed. Many should even be logged on to. WhatsApp track record is stunningly bad.
Lots of users means its got a huge bullseye on it even if they try to secure it, it will hacked again like the sun rises in the morning... for sure. Meanwhile phishing scams run under the radar and count on you screwing up. And many do.
You got to ask yourself one question,

No really. The problem is that all the apps developed by Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp) are power hogs. Meta does not care if it chews up battery. The primary reason is that Meta is shoving ads in your face. Even when your screen is off, those apps are running in the background. Meta is not the only offender. There are plenty of other app developers that do the same thing.
Also, there are different "flavors" of Android. Each OEM implements it differently (even within the OEMs). This makes it less cost effective to customize their apps for each OEM. There is only one flavor of iOS and iPadOS, so it is much easier to tweak it for iPhones and iPads than it is for Android devices.
I understand. Thanks. I have another question. You said you turned off google play services. When I turn it off, notifications do not work and many applications do not work. How do you overcome this situation?

It doesn't effect any notifications for me that I use except Gmail. Most my apps run without it. I tend to shun those that do.
Some of the Samsung apps take the place of Google apps, no need to run both.
If killing Google play Services helps at night it's likely Google backup Transport running.
Hello, I have something to ask about. I need to know if there is any ability to store a system application variables usin adb. Imagine that I want to open my settings app and do something mabye a confirmation dialog will be shown in order to say something such as alert for something supposed that I did click on OK, i the normal case this alert will never be shown even if you clear the settings app data or clear the cash, is there any way to use adb to store the settings app data before opening it the if anything as the previous senario happened I can restore the settings app to the moment before clicking on the OK button or even before this alert has shown

Many apps that "need" Google play Services are Playstore pay apps. This can be circumvented by first allowing the app to activate, then firewall blocking their internet connection. Firewall block Playstore as well although it should be disabled except when needed.
If an app doesn't need internet access to function it should be firewall blocked anyway.
