Is there an app available that works on the mudita to force stop all apps? The ones previously mentioned on this forum are no longer working due to being unable to provide accessibility access since the new update. Does anyone have a workaround to provide those apps with the access required to force stop all apps? Unfortunately it’s starting to be a massive inconvenience where i’d leave my phone on overnight with 40-50% charge and when i wake up, the phone is completely dead which i presume is due to all the sideloaded apps running in the background continuously.

Agreed. Something needs to be patched here because i constantly have alerts and apps running in the background that I don’t need or want running.

There is no way, all methods to force stop all apps require accessibility permission in android 12 because I tried to implement a similar feature in my launcher.
The best I could do was allow for a quicker way to longpress for appinfo → stop app
Address your concerns at this topic for the accessibility permission:

Very nice, that’ll be very useful as i tried to do it manually and it took a long time! Any idea when you plan to release the updated version? Current inkos doesn’t allow that, long press triggers the option to change what app is on the home menu.

@jdot Actually, current version does support that feature
Go to Settings → Advanced → Lock Home Apps (toggle it on) and also Toggle “Long press for app info”. When you do both instead of doing nothing or opening the app list, it will activate “app info” dialog
New version next week if I’m not to busy with work

Couldn’t Mudita make background processes more accessible somehow or at least have one button that refreshes them without restarting the phone?

@The They could, but it seems it’s not “mindful” enough to them. They’re not making things more accessible, they’re removing access to “accessibility” permissions 
In the hidden settings there’s a “memory usage” dialog that could be used to see which apps are taking more memory. (u can access this with activity launcher app at the moment)
I’m including this and some more system shortcuts in the next update of inkOS launcher

That’s very helpful. On another note, I almost wish they didn’t go the smartphone route with this phone. It’s like using a chainsaw as a butter knife.

In what sense? That they went with Android?
Actually that’s the only reason I bought this phone, at least with Android I can fix some of the issues. With a propitiatory OS or RTSOS like they used for the Pure phone I would never buy it.
Even with Android a lot of their decisions are super-questionable, like they say in my culture “they invented Luke-warm water”.
