Hi everyone. Hope you guys are fine and healthy.
I have a question. What is exactly the Automatic Start Manager function thats inside the PowerMaster feature? What I understand it does is to allow the permitted apps to launch when the phone turns on. But I don't know if thats correct.
Could somebody please tell me? Thank you guys!

ensure the app won't be killed at the backend
I beg your pardon but didn't understand what you said.
Basically this
You can kill some memory consuming app so that they don't run in the background
Autostart doesn't only work when phone turns on its always active
You can manually kill off/allow apps to run in the background
The apps with a tick mark have been allowed to run in bg
For eg: my file manager is running in bg and it also states the memory taken by it
But some apps remain open in bg like WhatsApp, telegram (basically any app which sends you notifications even when it's not open/device is in sleep mode )
Btw it's running in bg (I haven't opened the app)
Ok.... I'm not sure if it's even working on my phone that feature or function of Android since look, I unchecked Archero (a game a play) to avoid having it running on the BG but as you can see on the video below, when I close it (not from the app switcher of course), open another app (Chrome in the example) and then re-open Archero, the game is at the same point where I left it (meaning it was running on the BG). What's going on?
it works during system boot
System boot? How is that?
apps start automatically during system boot up and consumes ram n battery in background
auto start manager lets u manage which apps gets started in background
for example if u disable whatsapp from autostart
then that app wont run in background ,it will be killed n you wont receive any notifications alert if u receive any msg on whats app
Well but thats just for when the phone is turning on. Once it's on, that function is pointless.
it works even if its on
atleast works for me tho :)
There's one part which you're forgetting. Auto-start-manager only tells the app that you're not allowed to start without me saying so.
But when you "close" an app in the recent apps overview, it's up to that app to decide if it really wants to close. The only way to properly close an app is to "force close" it. So we have another feature (Super clean) for this which will "force close" all the apps you deem not important when you press the "clear all" button.
To find this feature go to system settings -> advanced -> Mobile Manager -> Memory cleaner -> Turn on Super Clean mode -> enter app list and uncheck any app that you must get notifications from -> go back -> open recent apps overview and press clear all.
Oh awesome Anders! Didn't know about that extremely useful feature! Thank you!
