Many people thinking how to save resource on android? also there is a lot of answer be like: - force stop apps (Hibernate lol) - clear unused file (example: cache) - disable or suspend the unused apps - decrease number of apps that run in background - put app on standby mode which one is the best? ⚠️Warning⚠️ Before start you need read the detail about force stop here: Code: https://forums.mydigitallife.net/threads/the-truth-behind-force-stop-apps.83663/ 1. Force Stop + App no longer run in foreground and background completely + saving huge resource (because app not run completely) + increase ram space and battery life - un-freeze apps that are force stopped will eating a lot of battery - launching freezed apps take more time - force stopping active apps may cause data corruption or lost - app only killed not disabled or suspended which mean app can be launched accidentally or via trigger 2 Clear unused cache + increase storage space + increase devices performance - app will take longer time to read media (example: thumbnail) - app will need more ram space and battery to run (because no cache here) - app not disabled or suspended so still can be launched accidentally or via trigger 3. Disable / suspend unused apps: + App target will totally disabled unable to run even in background until you enable or unsuspend the app target + Increase RAM and storage space + Increase devices performance + Increase battery life + app is disabled or suspended which mean app will stay not active forever (can't be launched and activated accidentally or via trigger) - Need ADB or Root (MIUI Os Not Affected) - (ADB) if app restricted you can't do anything except using root privilege 4. decrease app that run in background: + Increase more RAM and storage space + app no longer run in foreground - app still run in background but (state are idle after few time later) -still consume battery and RAM space but much less than before entering idle mode - apps is not disabled or suspended app still can be launched accidentally or via trigger 5. put any app into standby mode: + decrease battery and RAM usage a bit + app can be launched more quickly and in same state (data still there) - need ADB or Root - (ADB) if app restricted then you can't do anything unless you root your devices - app is not disabled or suspended so app still can be launched accidentally or via trigger After you see all compression which one is better? It's depending on situation and no one is better or the best here every method have their own cons if you want to take care of rarely used apps i guess force stop or disable , suspend is the best shot (unfortunately force stop no longer effective since 8+) if you want to take care of used app but not too often per day you can consider put that app on standby mode or disable some of their behavior while you keep that app run in background
