Whenever I go to my homescreen or otherwise load another app the previous one closes. If I’m browsing Lemmy and I open a page linked on a post to read it, my app will have reset itself when I close the tab and I either have to give up or root around for the post.

This OS is borderline unusable in this state. It even evicts my homescreen app so there’s a 5-10 second lag when tapping the circle button.

Any tips? I have 8GB of RAM, which should be more than enough for a dozen apps.

      GrapheneOS. It keeps Termux and Molly (for MollySocket) open but nothing else.

        Thanks for this thread. I just switched to GrapheneOS and noticed the same thing. It’s particularly annoying having my Lemmy feed reset so often.

          I’m also using grapheneos, but I’ve never noticed anything like this.

          To check I just went back to the very last app in the app switcher, which was ironfox, which was still open on the same page I left it during lunch today. (About 6 hours ago)

    When did you last reboot your phone?

    I have had memory leaks in android that slowly consumes ram until I have the same issue. A reboot clears it for a while.
