Kill foreground app

Using /e/OS Settings
1

Hi, I’m coming from LineageOS 20 and I liked the kill foreground app function avaible via Settings > Buttons > Long swipe action > Kill foreground app.

This isn’t available in e/os V2 for OnePlus N200 (dre)
I could not see anythng similar in dev options either.

As it stands, swiping up makes the app go away. Going to Configuration > Apps > App Info; the app is still running as Force stop is displayed.

When killing the app, force stop is grayed out meanimg the app is not running.

Thanks.

Not sure if this is the same, but, Bliss launcher, if I swipe down quick settings twice, I see this at the foot of the screen.

Don’t see that on my device.
Just the gear and power buttons are shown.

This was on e-2.1-t-xxx-dev-ocean, I have not had the phone very long, I maybe didn’t see it straight off as it requires two pull down of quick settings, not certain if it preceded e-2.0-t. Not seen on 2.0-r- builds.

Anybody able to confirm if “kill foreground app” is available via Settings > Buttons > Long swipe action > Kill foreground app.

Thanks.

Thanks Piero.

Anyone with a OnePlus N200 (dre) able to confirm if kill foreground app is available or not?

I just switched to /e/ for the first time, running v2.1-T on a vayu (poco x3 pro). There is no such option unfortunately and I really really miss it too. I came from crDroid where it was possible to choose this for “long press back button”. I loved the function and have been researching on whether there is any way to manually add this to system or an xposed module or sth, but I couldn’t find anything unfortunately. Seems like it needs to be provided by the ROM.
Would love to get this feature (back) into /e/ :slight_smile:

Two potential areas of investigation:

  • in Settings/Battery then Battery usage, every non-system battery-eager app background activity can likely be changed
  • Developer mode activated, try Settings/System/Developer options, then Background check / Standby apps (set to Restricted if available)
