Not really a developer so would it be possible for someone to make me a flashable zip that adds the clear all button like in the screen shot to the stock rom? Don't really want to run a custom rom, but this is the only feature I want.
Never seen that button on stock.

I've wanted such a feature, but I've never seen that button on stock.
I doubt it could be made for stock. It would be easy enough to make one for AOSP, though since it's a battery drain by killing all your apps then re-opening them, it's unlikely many people would be interested in making them. A better mod would be to limit recents to only show cached apps. I assume most people want to clear them because its clutter. There is no functional reason to clear all. In fact it reduces functionality clearing all, by wasting your battery every time you restart an app you cleared from recents
Did not know that.

I've always closed every app when I can remember to do so, did not think it really made a great difference in anything. Live and learn.:good:

Yep it does. Android caches apps. It uses far fewer CPU cycles to retrieve an application from cache than to start it up from "cold". If you don't use an app much, fine - clear it. If you use it a lot, if you clear it it will use more CPU. The more you do this, the bigger the effect.
I'm using "recent app cleaner" and "custom notification ex".

With Chainfire app called Recently you can do this and some more things, only need Root:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.chainfire.recently
I purchased the pro version.
So you can do with Xposed and GravityBox LP, but with Recently is more easiest.

I love it. Can get rid of unwanted publishers from your list. Just wish I knew how to get rid of more than one publisher
Add a pipe character ("Alt+S" on the G1, or "?123" + "ALT" + "|" on the default virtual keyboard. You should have something like this: "IndiaNIC|Netmite" (without the quotes).
Thanks! No more top sexy lady apps, themes or dictionary apps for me
Now if only it was a regular application and not a crappy widget.
Wow, pretty harsh...
It's a damn good widget. If you want a application for this then just use the market. Honestly, there is a difference between being a complete **** and constructive criticism.

Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't it truly just running when we set it to update the widget? Or is it constantly running in the background even if it isn't accessing any data and using up precious battery life? I have alot of widgets installed and it doesn't slow my phone down or drain my battery any faster so I was under the impression it didn't always use up resources. Maybe i'm wrong

Every app or widget that is running is using up some resources how much depends on what the function of the app/widget and how well programmed it is and any limitations because of being coded in Java.
At the very least it'll be using up ram since most people don't have swap files, nor should they for various reasons.

Thanks for the clarification
This widget does not use any resources other than some of your memory just like any other app. When you have it set up as an active widget, it uses resources when it checks for new apps. This is no different than any other app that polls for updates. As soon as it finishes fetching data, it shuts itself down. The bulk of the work is done by on the server so really the widget really does very little to use the phones resources. If you have it set to update every 5 minutes and get 100 apps, you might drain your battery pretty quickly.

Yea I think it was pulled. It wasn't working yesterday, so maybe that was why. I wiped my phone and I couldn't re-download the app. Guess it's gone.
I am not rooted and want to know other than using ATK, is there anyway to stop Sprint TV and Sprint V-Mail to load on start up, I know we cannot uninstall if not rooted but don't want them running in the background every time I reboot, other than ending the task on every reboot any other suggestion if possible
Not that I'm aware of.
Even though they come on at start-up, they really don't drain that much on your active memory or battery because they don't get used, so after a little while Android kinda shifts them into the background basically. So while it still looks like they're running, Android's default memory management is such that those programs/services won't really hurt your performance since they aren't being actively used.
There is no way to do that without rooting.

Just install a task manager and if you're seeing it, add it to the ignore list.

Just know that adding a program to Ignore doesn't actually kill/end the app. It only makes it not show up in the list of running/active programs. There will also be some kind of kill/end option which does close the app. (at least that's the way it is in the couple task managers I've used)

You are correct thus the reason I did away with the TK, and you are all right as it does not really use up much memory, as I downloaded Spare Parts and those both apps when I check the battery stats in the CPU usage they don't even show up. I promise boys one day I will Root just for the experience and I know I may never look back, the only reason why I have not yet is because ever since I did away with Sense UI and have been using Launcher Pro my lag has been much much less and the phone is working much better, and the sleep mode issue I have been having only happens once a week now, thanks all

Yeah dude, it's your phone...so do whatever it is that you want/need to make it good for you. That's a main reason we're here -- to help users get their phones working just the way want them to. Last time I checked we weren't running ppl off for not being rooted
Ha, I think I rooted my phone within an hour of getting it in the mail from Sprint, just to remove the bloatware.
People, I don't know what to do. I really want to use Facebook's app in my P880, but it cause too much lag over all other applications and resources. Sometimes I need to wait 30s to use my phone, mainly when a turn data or wi-fi on. When this app isn't installed I have a normal experience.
I just tried:
- Stock Rom, CM11 Rom, Euphoria OS;
- Stock Kernel, Iodak Kernel;
- Best Facebook clients are not updating since 2013;
- Facebook on browser, are fast but can't open images entire screen and can't provide notifications;
- Change options in app;
- Change Performance options of each ROM.
Please, if someone had sucess to run the app without this mad lag share with us.
Tried the "simple facebook" app?

I used to untick all autoruns of the APP using 3c toolbox.This reduces it's effect on general system performance but there are still a few services of it running, you have to turn them off at every boot.
Still, the facebook is badly coded/optimized and I prefer to use my web browser to browse facebook since I get notifications with SMS anyway.
Facebook app is among the worst ever Android apps made. As you too noticed, mainly on network change, it gets insanely laggy. It just isn't worth using.
Thank you, guys!

Sad, but true! I can't understand what they want with this. My wife's Samsung S4 can run it, just with small lags inside app, but it is another class of phone.
Afternoon peeps,
Recently my Mini 2 has just ground to an unusable, good-for-nothing pile of crap.
- It is soooo slow to do anything.
- It rotates the screen when it's not being rotated.
- It locks in the middle of performing tasks.
- It blacks out for 30 seconds or so before becoming responsive again.
- Voice on Google Maps or Runkeeper apps keeps glitching.
I'm running CM12 [12-20150411-NIGHTLY-memul] with TWRP recovery.
Reinstalling the ROM returns the phone to a normal function, temporarily, before descending into chaos.
Clearing the cache partition sort of works....for a little while.
I/O Scheduler is ROW.
Storage isn't anywhere near full with 3.65Gb free.
Available RAM is on average about 170Mb
My thoughts are that an app is causing this.
Can anyone throw some troubleshooting ideas into the pot?
Thanks

Clearing cache and ram just makes it worst as Android works different from PC's.
It seems you're in the good path as just need to find what APP is doing that. Providing that you run CM12 without extras and its ok, than try install/uninstall one app at the time until you find the one its causing trouble

Well CM12 its a bit buggy so if you gonna run high end apps i suggest stock ROM.
Regarding RAM, android manages that pretty well for you. The more ram in use, the better things work. (if you know how RAM works) same thing with cache. So don't use stupid programs to clear RAM as they are useless.
You can google for more info.

Interesting, the reason I'm on CM with this HTC is because the Stock ROM also showed the same symptoms, so I moved to CM to try to cure. I really liked the stock UI and was reluctant to move away from it.
I do know RAM and that does make sense - more stuff in RAM = quicker access to resouces, but surely its still a good troubleshooting step to clear down if these problems arise?

Like i said, Android will clear the apps when it need to open resources for another.
Reading back your posts, you might need to do full re-installation .
If you install Google Apps bundle, start with re-flashing that. if still no good then go for the all ROM.
But you say that it also happened with stock rom so finding the app that's causing that its crucial.
Also note the apps that stay open in the background (click the 2 Squares) only nine stay open but all you need its a game to keep eating all the resources.

I've begun by uninstalling OneFootball and Facebook and performance has improved somewhat. This might be quite a long process as im going go leave a day or so between each action.
I have fully reinstalled before, but selected to restore data and apps from backup. Maybe I'll try setting up as a new device if it comes to it. Want to avoid that tho.

Did you find a solution? I'm facing about the same issue with my HTC One Mini 2 after installing CM12. It ran perfectly smooth in the beginning but now it is soooo slow and it takes forever to load almost any apps (especially Facebook and Snapchat).

I think it's either Facebook or Facebook Messenger, probably more messenger.
I first uninstalled Facebook Messenger and performance improved. Still a little glitchy, but much better.
Then I uninstalled Facebook. Not much change.
Facebook is now reinstalled, but messenger isn't and I've been happier with the phone.
I'm still getting some background apps crashing, but not as much as before uninstalling FB messenger.
Not really a 'solution' as it could be different for you, but as mentioned previously, start uninstalling an app at a time. Leave a few days inbetween so you can tell if it changed anything. If not, reinstall and try again.
Same issue here with mini 2..i dont have facebook or that football app
So I recently updated my Note 9 to Pie (May update), honestly I am satisfied with the update, phone feels smooth, lots of customizations with good lock, battery life is about the same as in Oreo.
The only problem that's bothering me is RAM management, apps don't stay open in background as they used to on Oreo even if I always have 2GB of free RAM at least. I have disabled all sorts of power saving features, tried a magisk module for better RAM management but it's still bad.
Is there any solution for better RAM management? Root or non-root?
Thanks.

since updating from v8 to v9 is not a proper clean start. u might want to contemplate wiping data and cache in recovery mode and start fresh from v9 instead .
shouldn't be different but you might also consider flashing latest firmware again ontop( just dont forget to wipe data first then flash.)
its always best to start fresh than to use a phone that go updated and still has all the clutter from previous version.

I have the Exynos variant N960F, I'm on Pie May update and I am rooted with Magisk.
I don't have many apps in the background as I use Greenify to hibernate apps that I don't want to be running in background, as I said I usually have around 2GB of free RAM most of the time.
Now when I was on Oreo, I used to have for instance PS App open in background (meaning I exit with the back button not home button) and a few hours laters or even after opening lots of apps later, when I go back to that app, it doesn't have to reload. Now this is not the case with Pie, if I do the same, I would have to reload it, it's not that it takes time to reload but it's just annoying to have lots of free RAM yet you have to reload apps every hour or so.

Yes I do, and none of the apps that I want to be running in background are Greenified of course. In fact I have the same apps + settings that I used to have on Oreo as I restored them fully after rooting, the only thing that's different is the updated OS.

Sure, I'll give it a go and see what happens. Thanks.
I have the same problem too, recent apps are closed by itself no matter what battery optimization you do for the apps that you don't want to close.
I just noticed every time it happens it just keeps the last 5 apps used opened and close the old ones.
You can also try to go to device care and then battery then on the upper right hand side the three dots then settings, there turn off put unused apps to sleep. Maybe this can help you.
That dont work mate ,there is no fix trust me.pie closes your recent apps list over night regardless of what setting you use.ive given up trying to keep my favourite apps in the recent apps menu.i just hope Samsung fixes it .but nobody other than me and a few others really want it fixed.most people dont care that all there apps get closed over night apart from 3 or 4 that stay.its terrible
