[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] Ashish M Shet:
Ya lock the apps in memory and remove the battery saver option for the apps!
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MasterFURQAN:
I can't find downloads/ download manager in the app saver list.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] nC3rtaintiy:
Yea I realised it last night.. I put pubg on update and went to sleep only to realise that the update failed somehow.. This has to be the problem I faced.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MasterFURQAN:
Clearing recent apps doesn't necessarily mean closing the app especially for a system app like download manager.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] CosmicDan:
That's exactly what it does, actually. It doesn't just "hide" then - it calls onDestroy (sometimes, it's not guaranteed) and disposes the activity, so next time you run it it has to be recreated from scratch again.

But yes, you are at least correct in that it shouldn't terminate any associated services. Maybe that's an MIUI "feature" of closing the apps.

But my point still stands - you shouldn't close recent apps unless necessary. Any Google result will tell you this, it's mainstream knowledge these days.

If you can't help yourself, see a doctor for OCD treatment. It's a 6GB device for God's sake, you will open 100 apps and still not run out of RAM. No it will not make PUBG FPS better. No it will not make your device switch apps faster. It does ONLY harm.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MasterFURQAN:
Damn!! People clearing their recent apps have OCD. Really ? I've been using android phones for years. My previous phones had 365 apps installed in it and I had to use almost 50 to 70 or more of them daily. The thing is most if not all android apps have background services and these services do NOT get stopped even if you clear recent apps while other apps just get cached to the RAM and they too don't stop by recent apps clearing. And then there are wakelocks and GCM which are the reasons for apps giving you notifications and things like that. I can go on but I think you get the point by now.

I clear apps because I just like to see a clean UI. I know that these apps don't just get stopped by this. If I really wanted to stop an app I'd do it for saving battery and NOT for saving RAM and I'd use advanced apps like greenify and wakelock detectors for this because clearing apps won't stop these apps. Some apps just prevent the device from going to deep sleep and this is the reason for overnight discharge on most phones.

Peace. ✌️
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MasterFURQAN:
I think the problem is with big apps. Whenever I install a small size app maybe upto 100 MB, it gets installed without any problems but whenever I tried to install/update a large app like PUBG, it never gets completed giving errors like error 495. Today it stopped at almost 1.05 GB. I'll check and see if I can find a fix.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] WingXBlade:
But this shouldn't happen on stock Android though.. Even on iOS swiping out apps from recents doesn't mean the user wants to force stop it. Xiaomi designing it's skin to do this is really counterintuitive. Because of this we are having all sorts of problem like this and messaging apps not receiving notifications in the background.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MasterFURQAN:
After a few days of use, I don't think that is the case. I tried multiple downloads/ updates from the store and cleared recent apps but they continued without any freezes or stops. The problem appears when I install/ update a large sized app like PUBG. It'll go on for sometime and then just freeze and return an error. Last night it stopped at almost 1gb+ with an error code 495.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] CosmicDan:
Mmm, it may be Whetstone at work again. That horrible thing. Is there a "Memory Optimization" setting in Developer Options? If so, turn it off.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] jineshpatel30:
There is MIUI Optimization in Developer settings but i don't think it helps disabling it in this case.(it helps a little bit on scrolling performance BUT after 3-4 days it becomes slow again for me..I think MIUI's Touch response & Scroll performance is very bad compared to Stock/Neuxs 5... Correct me if it's only for me)

MIUI has very weird ram management which literally kills the apps & all the services when you clear it from recent and there's no way to stop this on MIUI from my past 2 weeks of experience and research :(
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MasterFURQAN:
I didn't clear recent apps last night while I was updating PUBG (1.5 GB update) and it wasn't still completed in the morning with error 495 , but the screen must have locked automatically. Does screen lock also do the same thing then ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] jineshpatel30:
Yes that's another issue and same thing happened to me.

This is where their battery saving "feature" kicks in very aggressively, i already pointed this out to POCO on twitter but got no response. -_-

What you can do is, to go security>battery>batter saver>PlayStore>No restriction

and check if it's downloading or not.

But if you are scarce on High speed Internet you can simply download PUBG from 3rd party website and copy it to phone.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] WingXBlade:
Oh, then I might be wrong about your case there. I personally never encountered this problem before but maybe it's because I always keep my screen on during downloads.

Tried that, problem still persists. Anyway, turning the optimization off screws up the uniformity of the system so I'd rather not do that. My only hope is waiting for AOSP roms to come out so that I can replace it once and for all. ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MasterFURQAN:
I already have it on "no restriction". It won't have any effect as we need to "unrestrict" download manager which is not present there.

Further I found some some settings in the application manager. Do I need to tick the mobile data for unrestricted access or untick it even ? And what for the WiFi restrictions ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MasterFURQAN:
Here's the WiFi restriction settings as well but I'm unable to change it. Weird :confused:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] CosmicDan:
Memory Optimization != MIUI Optimization. Leave MIUI Optimization enabled, that's a different thing.

In previous MIUI versions there was Memory Optimization which could be set to Low/Medium/High/Off which controlled Whetstone behavior.

Check if there is a Whetstone package in the system, then. If there is then disable it (can do this stuff with pm list/disable in adb shell).
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] WingXBlade:
Ok, so I found this package "com.miui.whetstone" and was able to uninstall it. Need some time to check if this works.

Thanks for the tip anyway
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] CosmicDan:
Cool, let me know how it goes. This app is kind of a mysterious blackbox, I have been meaning to fully inspect it for years but it's got a lot of crap in there apart from an app killer. So be on the lookout for strange behaviour.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] doomed151:
Clearing an app from recents should not force close them. That's the default Android behaviour, it only closes the activity. MIUI still needs fixing.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] CosmicDan:
Where did I say anything about "Force Close"? Don't accuse me of being incorrect about something that I never claimed in the first place. What I said is true, and I never claimed that it's not an MIUI problem - I just proposed one solution (on how to use the device "properly"). And since then have also presented a possible explanation and more permanent possible fix. Try and keep up with the conversation instead of trying to start an argument.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] doomed151:
Chill, no need to get irritated over this. Your proposed solution was to "STOP CLOSING APPS" while OP never closed any apps, only cleared them from recents so it was a bit misleading.

Now I just read your other post, it's true that clearing recents can hurt battery life but some people (including myself) do so just because they want an app to start fresh the next time it's opened and not care about the potential battery life losses. Also, I'm blaming MIUI for the "kill if cleared from recents", it's bad and doesn't help with battery life. I mean I was listening to music and the music player got killed when I clear recents, that's ridiculous.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] lesslikeyou:
I would like to try and help you, good sire. I have experienced this after updating my Poco F1 from MIUI 9 stock rom to MIUI 10 Beta without unlocking the bootloader. What I did after several attempts and pretty much did what everyone else here have advised, I have removed my Google account from the phone, restarted it, tried downloading PUBG again and Vainglory and viola, it worked. :D Hopes this can help! Let me know sir!

PS: You might want to clear the data and the cache of your Play Store and services and framework if there is. :)
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] jineshpatel30:
For me it's not there or there's good chance that i might have debloated it on 1st day it self. In any case I still have app killing behaviour :(
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] uremytoy:
Actually it should be like that. You kill app which is working in ram and you are surprised that it stops working

[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] CosmicDan:
Well that's a shame. I guess it's some built-in function in framework then.

I will make a note of it to look into it for my MIUI builds, it's not a high priority right now.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] WingXBlade:
Ok, it's nearly 24 hours since I uninstalled that package and this is what happened.

Instant Messaging apps are finally working in the background even when swiped away from recent menu while keeping auto start on and set to no restriction. However, music apps such as Spotify still gets killed when set to no restriction.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MasterFURQAN:
I just wanted to make this clear that I'm on MIUI 9 version 9.6.14.0. It'd be quite helpful if everyone stated their MIUI version to let everyone know if the issue persists even on MIUI 10 (if someone here installed the global beta).

And I'll be really really thankful if someone could tell me how to update to MIUI 9.6.18 (NOT the global beta MIUI 10). I saw many people with this version of MIUI but my device doesn't show any available updates and thus I seem to be stuck on 9.6.14. Thanks.

There's a new problem with my phone now. Volume buttons (both up and down) stop working randomly. It's not a hardware problem as I'm able to use them for other tasks like screenshots. And a simple restart resolves the issue Anyone else with this problem ?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MasterFURQAN:
A slight update. I found an app called MIUI hidden settings in the play store. It has an option for battery optimisation. I'll tweak it a little and see what happens. I think everyone should try it and post their results for better and faster troubleshooting.
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] nC3rtaintiy:
Did you find any conclusive results?
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MasterFURQAN:
Sorry I am too busy right now to try anything. :rolleyes:
[Xiaomi Poco F1 Questions & Answers] MasterFURQAN:
Here's what I found with a little digging.

I can clearly see that battery optimisation is enabled on download manager by default and that SHOULD be the reason for downloads (system downloads like from store ) getting stopped after clearing recent apps and/or after the screen is locked.

and on top of that the system doesn't allow me to change it. (see the other pic that shows battery optimisation not available )

If anyone is able to change this setting , try it and report. Or reply here. We need to get this fixed ASAP.

[Elephone S7 Questions & Answers] minimouse69:
Hey guys, first time posting so I hope I'm in the right sub.

Here is the thing:

- I bought a phone from a reseller which was sold to me as an SM-G930F with Android Oreo

- When it came home, I noticed it was running Marshmallow, and with further research it appears that the phone is actually the chinese SM-G9300 & it doesn't allow OTA updates

- I got a refund but I could keep the phone

The actual firmware is G9300ZCU2APG2

So the question is: am I able to upgrade that SM-G9300 to Oreo? If so, do I have to install a custom ROM running Oreo, flash a european firmware (or custom?) to allow the update?
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] anujagarwal:
I want to give this phone to someone else who does not technically understand about these things . So i want to lock bootloader keeping any good custom rom installed with any recovery ( stock would be best ) ?

Is there any solution ?

Once I had locked bootloader on Zui 3.1.117 deodexed with some file from zui 2.5.104 and some code , i do not remember now . But there are so many good custom roms and i want to lock it . If is it possible ?

Sorry for thread . It mistakenely posted here . Not know how to delete it .
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] fishmaster666:
it's depends on the costom rom you have installed, if the CR supports unrooted devices then you can lock the bootloader again by using SuperSU(there are more ways).
[Lenovo ZUK Z2 (Plus) Questions & Answers] hf958:
Nope u just cannot lock bootloader on custom roms

No matter what ROM u have installed except zui

Not even deodexed I guess

Though at the same time in other devices wifi works perfectly.

I've just recovered an old S6 edge (G925F) from a drawer.

I managed to install TWRP 3.2.3-0 to it.

I downloaded also latest weekly build from LineageOS site.

But I think this handset should need a refresh of the baseband modem as LineageOS is actually Oreo 8.1 while the device was running something between 5.0 and 6.0.

Where can I get the modem binary?

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] voetbalremco:
Nice.

Any info on the scripts that are included?
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Oki:
Well, all of them are Bourne shell scripts. Some of them are stupidly simple such as those in the Reboot menu, and others in the Advanced > Oki Labs menu are very elaborated, specially:

- PARTY tool: for creating and removing the vendor partition. I released it a few days ago as a separated tool that could well work in other devices.

- EDL backup: for creating EDL flashable backups of a configuration. This tool will probably require a full thread due to the concepts involved. The big feature is that the generated zip can be also flashed using any TWRP.

- Internal Storage Backup/Restore: TWRP doesn't offer a straightforward solution for backing up the internal storage, since it is excluded from the data backup, now it is possible to create a backup and restore the contents of the internal SD in case you want to mess up with the userdata partition. Now this script creates a set of files under the TWRP/backup folder. I am planning to add the possibility of having different backup folders, the same way the GUI treats the data partition.

Well, the non b12 version can't decrypt my device, running los 15.1

also, the lab options did nothing, and when I pressed on PARTY the recovery froze on me.

Hmm.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Oki:
Well, that's why in the OP I provide 2 flavors of the mod. If you require decrypt then you have to use the B12. PARTY will not work either if your device is encrypted and you are using the 3.2.3-0L. In your case, using device encryption, you have to use the 3.2.3-0L(B12). You will have all the functions except for ADB. PARTY will work fine too.
[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] nfsmw_gr:
Got it.

I thought the B12 version was for stock-based ROMs.

Okay I'll flash the other one once I get home, thanks.

[ZTE Axon 7 ROMs, Kernels, Recoveries, & Other Deve] Oki:
I can't duplicate the issue. Are you sure you downloaded it properly? Do you have an SD card? The backup requires an SD card with enough space. Checking for free space is in the todo list for this weekend.

LABS MOD Q & A

Hi Oki,

Since you made this great tool I'm just going to make a list of questions/situations ( I know the answers but i leave this up to you as you're right in the middle of it) which could be very usefull to members/starters before trying this out : (all with unlocked bootloader)

1. I'm on 7.1.1 stock, official twrp3210, encrypted and want to test some Pie and revert back to my own backup I made myself in twrp3210. What do you recommend ?

2. The same as above but without encryption.

3. Would installing your LabsMod always mean my intSD will be wiped too ?

4. Can I always restore backups made with official twrp, twrp3218 Nfound or LOS version ?

5. Since the tool is somehow EDL bulletproof, would this mean 4th cat. brick is never going to happen again ?

6. Should I always wipe ' treble' vendor when going back to stock ? And how ?

7. I'm on B12 bootstack (Nfound) with AEX treble vendor. Can I go back to stock and how ? What to use ?

8. I'm using your tool but want to go to full stock with locked bootloader to sell the phone. Is that possible ?

9. Is your vendor partition created within System or user data ? Should this in any way effect using any (s)GSI roms in future ?

10. When making a full EDL backup, is it possible to share my backup without personal data ?

11. Can I switch from B12 bootstack to LOS bootstack and back ? Are there any risks and what should I do ?

12. Would it be recommended to always have a MINIMAL EDL backup when I do not have any Full backup ?

13. Works the Bootloader Unlock message removal on any A7 device ?

14. Are there certain things that certainly have to be avoided using your tool ?

15. Can I switch between your two versions depending on my need ? What should I do ?

16. Can the tool flash the vendor partition to user data so wiping vendor wouldn't be needed anymore to go back to non-treble/vendor backups ?

17. Can a full EDL backup made with OL always be restored on another A7 with OL B12 setup ?

Just don't understand why you don't provide the answers if you now them already.

I think that would help [MENTION=319057]Oki[/MENTION] a lot more then just placing your FAQ :p
