Recent Apps reloading while switching all the time!

I recently bought the Honor 10 Lite and everything, from its looks to the performance has impressed me. However, I noticed a very frustrating issue with the "recent apps" function. Every time I try to switch to another app from the list, it reloads all over again instead of opening it in the way it was left.
I did my research and found that tons of other users using EMUI 9.0 or above are facing this and it is happening due to Memory Management. I found and tried all the alternative solutions like lowering the screen resolution, changing the "App Launch" settings to Manual in the battery options, disabling the apps from the "Battery Optimization" settings from the Special Access menu etc. but none of it works. Some have also mentioned to Disable or Uninstall the stock launcher to get back to the Oreo style Recent App card list as a solution. But I am scared to do that, as it can affect the future updates for sure.
It seems like our phone's forum hasn't been quite active so far. Its obvious as its a new device and people are yet to find and talk about issues here. Anyway, there is surely a memory leak which is causing all this. The remaining memory is always below 1 gb which is unusual in a phone with 4 gb of RAM. And it is due to this, the apps are being reloaded in the Recent Apps list to free up more RAM! I really hope Honor will look into this and find a solution in the upcoming update!
Please share your opinion or help out if you are facing the same too. Thanks!

I have an Indian version of Honor 10 Lite. And I am using a different launcher already. So you are saying, I can disable or uninstall the stock launcher and the updates wont be affected? You sure?
I wrote about this to Honor India's official page in Facebook before few minutes. And their reply was quite typical. They wanted me to turn off the android system and transition animations to free up the ram and stuffs. I clearly told them that this was a memory management issue as others described it. But they gave me this irrelevant reply!
I just bought this phone. I mean its just been 2 days. I really dont wish to regret my decision now. The recent apps keeps reloading every time I switch them. Its ridiculous!

Yeah, thats what I said too. I am using another launcher apart from the stock "Huawei Home". I have not disabled or uninstalled the stock launcher yet. Shall I do that? That is what i am asking!
A lot of people have said that uninstalling the stock launcher will free up a lot of RAM and also enable the Oreo styled recent apps card list which will solve this app reloading issue!
I just contacted the Huawei customer care and a lady advised me to record the whole issue and send the video to their service email address. I have shared this EMUI 9.0 issue faced by others as a feedback to them too. Hope they will fix this in the upcoming update!

Hey,
I can confirm this. I've got a model having 3 gb ram. I am using Microsoft Launcher and deactivated everything related to battery to test it out.
1. Closed all my apps via recent apps
2. Then I opened a folder in ES Explorer and went back to homescreen.
3. I went into gallery and watched a video for 60 seconds, back to homescreen.
4. I went into Facebook and read an article for 60 seconds.
5. Going back to Es Explorer (No matter via Homescreen or recent tabs) makes it reload completely.
This definitely is not related to not having enough RAM.
I also can't deactivate my Huawei home, it is greyed out. Right now i am seriously starting to hate that phone.

Alright I got it working more or less by uninstalling Huawei home via adb. it's not perfect (3-4 keep open mostly), but with the switch to card style in recent apps it finally feels not as sluggish as before anymore.

Remove battery saving mode or some apps automatically optimized by phone manager or other solution is to keep that app in app assistant or game mode. UI is made for battery optimization and ram management otherwise you have got stock android

I have this problem too! It's so annoying. The phone is perfect besidd this problem

Updating "Feature for Facebook"

I am frequently getting this notification Updating "Feature for Facebook". It keeps coming back even if i dismiss it. Is anyone facing same issue? What might be the solution? I have attended the screenshot as well.

Everyone is getting that bug after 10.4 update. The only solution is to wait for the next update which is in development right now and may release Oct 2nd or 3rd week. Xiaomi released a beta ROM for devices and pulled it back. A stable one is on the way. Just wait.

damnnn...haha, i though its my own fault for messing apps, etc......turns out every one got the same issue. i have tried uninstall and install again. same problem still exists. im still curious whats causing all of this

if you don't have Facebook, you will get similar notifications but for other apps, like Netflix for example. And if you uninstall that too, it will be for Chrome...
No fix that i know of.

I also thought that i was the only one who is getting this message. I too uninstalled play store and Facebook and reinstalled them but still getting same error. Seems like OS bug after update to 10.4 as this wasn't the case for previous OS version.
Guess we will have to wait for another OS update

This is one of plenty of bugs in the 10.4 update which includes frequent restarts, overheating issues, fingerprint scanner slow etc. Hopefully the update will come this month and rectify all issues. Till then no option but to bear with the bugs.

I tried your way but still can not solve the problem.
I am using redmi k20 pro with eu xiaomi rom 9.11.7
From the beginning, i think using beta Facebook can solve the problem but 1 or 2 days later the issue is back and still happen.
Maybe you are lucky.

Unistal Facebook , clear cache / data in Facebook services (system app) , clear cache / data in Play Store . Then reboot phone and instal FB from play store .

Question Gestures and Nova?

Hi All
Currently running the china rom until I can flash the eu one in 7 days. Was just wondering is there anyway to use Nova and gestures?
I've installed fluid navigation, granted over adb and it works perfect until the screen goes off. As soon as the screen goes off it seems to kill fng which then doesn't work again until a reinstall. It's really weird

Hello,
Heard that it has something to do with miui optimizations, try disabling that from the developer options and let us know how it goes.
Cheers !

Thanks, tried that but still no joy. Works fine until the screen goes off then it completely kills it. Must be something with stock gesture taking over but they don't work with Nova

Using the edge gestures app and this seems to work..

sorry to hear that, i also have the premium Nova launcher app and waiting to see whenever they will make this possible. i even bought sesame integrations for it .
saw a workaround on the mi.com forum but that guy was using xiaomi.eu
https://c.mi.com/thread-3660446-1-0.html
Not willing to flash xiaomi.eu only for this functionality, not to mention that they really improved the stock launcher in miui 12 and 12.5 sounds even more interesting .
Cheers !

Working well now with edge gestures, even from the bottom.
The nova Google now page doesn't work though for some reason. Ive still got 6 days to decide whether I'm flashing eu or not lol

how did you now get it working?

Edge gestures from play store works great. Doesn't even need adb permissions.
My Google feed page randomly started working too on nova :/
Only issue currently is now with Google news widget. I can press the buttons to scroll through headlines but can't open it by pressing :/ unless I open the app first then the widget works again for a short while lol

Same, I thought I would have to flash the eu rom and use nova launcher but I can't live without gestures but after a day I figured out how to turn on the app drawer and get rid of the vault and all that Chinese nonsense.
They're is a lot of crap I could uninstall from the cmd line but I'm getting great battery life already and I don't want to break it .
After Watching a YouTube video on miui 12 features I learned how to make miui launcher almost like nova
Still have 5 days to decide whether to install the eu rom but I heard you can't relock the bootloader ( or it bricks ) and this will break all your finance and banking apps which would be unacceptable...

General Stock vs XiaomiEU smoothness experience.

Guys i recently jumped from stock Chinese to XiaomiEU. I noticed that the phone became laggy with animation.
This thread for those people who actually tried both choices (stock/XiaomiEU stable/beta)
Besides animation with micro lags on opening apps (a specially if they closed in recently menu) there is other weird stuff, example YouTube started to lags in scrolling. Google keyboard sometimes comes up late. Phone after restarting laggy first 2-3 min.
I switched back to full Chinese stock and im shocked how quick and smooth this phone is !
Please share your statistics if you switch from XiaomiEU back to stock.
In my opinion (with full respect to developer) stock debloted root it rom with adaway bringing you a Pixel smoothness... however I can't say similar about EU rom...
Regards

Yes I noticed it's not as smooth as well like not 120 fps all the time while navigating. Also noticed the YouTube scroll lag. If you turn on show fps in developer settings when you load up the YouTube app it drops to 60 fps only.

Stock(debloted/rooted/adaway) 12.5.4 just destroying with speed and smoothest !

I am planing to move to xiaomi.eu as I use android auto most of the times. But the above comments lead me to think twice..
I might keep my CN rom..

Move it for experience and for fun. Comeback later and vote it.

I noted the same thing, but it's not that big of a difference. I also have a question if your main screen starts lagging when you wake up the rear screen?

Oh I read above you had lag with animations on Xiaomi.eu ROM. Im now in waiting period until I unlock my bootloader but I will install Xiaomi.eu after unlock, do you know if GetApps is installed on Xiaomi.eu?

Definitely download getapps as your system apps won't update without it. The EU rom should be coming with it, it shouldn't be deleted it's imperative.

I just finished installing but do not have getapps..time to Google it..

Yesterday, I manage to complete the task of intsalling xiaomi.eu ROM. At first it felt slow but looks like I was spoiled by 120hz on Chinese version. After changing back 120hz, it feels much better.
I will not vote yet as I am stil catching with my apps and awaiting first stable update to see the update process before making any decisions.
All in all, the main reason for this change was android auto for me. I tested and working which makes all this hassle worth for me. I will revert in due course about the smoothness...

Is There still a difference in speed and smoothness or has it leveled out by now ?

General [PSA]: com.miui.powerkeeper acts like a malware, remove it trough ADB for increased performance

This is MIUI battery optimization service that aggressively kills apps in background for a negligible battery gain.
This device already has more than efficient chip, and does not need this aggressive background app killing to get to 8-10h of SOT. It also has the fast charging.
So my advice would be to remove com.miui.powerkeeper trough ADB, since I did that my device works fluid like a flagship. No aggressive background app killing at all, so the potential of this device can be used fully.
Since I don't play games, SD680 has more than enough performance for a normal daily usage.

I do this, i test for one week and i tell how it works

.

Well I tried this for 1 week and I'm impressed.
It really changes the consumption in idle and the closing of apps randomly, although it is still present for some, even so, it works.
I haven't seen any strange bugs related to disabling this service, so at the moment I can say that it's safe and it helps a lot.

Told you. It's like I've got entirely different phone. This and A12 is a killer combo, works smooth af, no background app killing, and 7-8% battery drain per hour of SoT, so from 80-20% battery I get like 8h of SoT.

can anyone tell me which app is responsible for showing the recent apps list? Recently in Poco M2 Pro, I disable some app packages via ADB & recent app is no more working/showing & I can't figure out which app package needs to be enabled for this.

Did you mean this? "com.mi.android.globallauncher"
If yes, then let me tell you that I didn't uninstall that package, just disabled it because I personally use Nova Launcher Prime, so I don't need that in-built POCO launcher, and in Nova, the recent app function isn't working as I said earlier.
I'll enable that package & will check & update here.

okay, I tried this, enabled Mi Launcher/POCO Launcher [com.mi.android.globallauncher] that I disabled earlier via [2022-07-03] [v0.5.1] Universal Android Debloater and reboot the device, still the same,
As said earlier, I use nova launcher prime (latest version 8.0.3) & recent app button isn't working, Also, noticed that the home settings from the settings page is also not opening.
The dependencies are not only on Mi Launcher/POCO Launcher [com.mi.android.globallauncher]
and there must be some other package dependencies.

Do you mean turning off "turn on MIUI optimization"? You can make it visible and toggle it off in Developer Settings. Click on "Reset to Default Values" a few times and it will become visible, a couple of lines below it. It stays untoggled but then goes back to invisible once you leave the screen.

Huh? It's usually just the main launcher handle the recent task

warning for RedMi Pad users, when you remove / uninstall com.miui.powerkeeper you'll soft brick device.

is this for stock rom or xiaomi.eu

How are those finding performance/ram management now after removing this package via ADB? Any bugs or issues to be aware of? Will this mod remain after a MIUI update or need removed again?

Working flawlessly and persists after MIUI update, I'm on A12 now and I was on MIUI 12 A11 when I removed it via ADB.

Thanks, if I use the adb tool is it better to uninstall the package or disable it, or does it not matter?

I uninstalled it, but I don't think it matters, idk...

Thanks, I went with uninstalling it, on the adb tool, you can just reinstall it again if any problems. But so far so good.
