Laggy Performance and Aggressive Background App Killing (Cannot Keep 2 Apps Open)

[MoutainGuy]

Primary checklist

• I have checked the current issues list and have found no issue that matches mine
• I am not using Fresh with a kernel other than what is included with the firmware (Mint)
• I have not modified Fresh other than selecting apps from the Install Wizard and/or installing a Magisk/Zygisk module
• I am using Fresh on an officially-supported device

Device Information

Fresh version: 6.5.3.03

Device model: Samsung Galaxy A50 (4 GB RAM)

Current Behavior

Since installing Fresh on my Galaxy A50 (4 GB RAM), memory/background app management feels significantly more aggressive than on stock firmware.

There are two observations:

1. The device can feel laggy after restarting. This is not my main issue but it happens consistently.

2. Background apps are being killed too aggressively during normal use. I am unable to reliably keep even two apps active in memory.

Example:

• Open Gemini and start a request.
• Switch to Brave and continue reading a manga/web page.
• Return after a short time.

Result:

• Gemini loses the ongoing request or reloads.
• Brave reloads and I lose my page/progress.

This does not only happen after restarting. It happens during normal day-to-day usage as well.

I understand this is a 4 GB RAM device and some background app closing is expected, but stock Samsung firmware did not behave this aggressively and I could usually switch between apps without losing state.

Steps to Reproduce

No exact reproduction steps found.

Issue appears during normal multitasking usage and happens consistently over time.

Example scenario:

1. Open one app (Gemini).
2. Open another app (Brave).
3. Switch between them after some usage.
4. One or both apps reload unexpectedly.

Expected Behavior

Normal multitasking should allow at least two common apps to remain active in memory without frequent reloads or losing ongoing tasks.

Additional context: I previously reported this in the XDA discussion thread but did not receive any feedback, so I am opening a formal issue here.
