Samsung: How to KEEP apps in the BACKGROUND!

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.

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.

I have specifically devoted time to reach you in here which is really frustrating. But you know what is more frustrating? This topic. You do not have neither healthy link nor a app under this name. So why there is a content about it? How should a company be a lame one that needs to create an app to give a simple permission? I am really mad about your OS on a galaxy s22, i cannot imagine what your customers are doing with a old model of your phones. I think they are in asylum right now because it is the first time i bought a samsung phone and i cannot reach anything about it is settings. I want to simply change a background setting aaaand god knows where the samsung put it. Do not reply with your battery life saving etc etc settings because they do not do a thing.

I will be checking here time to time and also will create a ticket about it may be more.
