General [PSA]: com.miui.powerkeeper acts like a malware, remove it trough ADB for increased performance

Search This thread
This is MIUI battery optimization service that aggressively kills apps in background for a negligible battery gain.

This device already has more than efficient chip, and does not need this aggressive background app killing to get to 8-10h of SOT. It also has the fast charging.

So my advice would be to remove com.miui.powerkeeper trough ADB, since I did that my device works fluid like a flagship. No aggressive background app killing at all, so the potential of this device can be used fully.

Since I don't play games, SD680 has more than enough performance for a normal daily usage.
Uninstall components through adb could give unknown problems . Install xiaomi.eu for increased performance if you love miui . Or install customs ROMs for increased performance and new experience.

I just disabled it and it's much more smoother especially on youtube. Unlike miui perf saver I didn't face any overheating issue

    Did this and it already made a difference over night.

    It's crazy how they keep these things hidden and chooses to difficult people's lives with these bullshit.

    Well I tried this for 1 week and I'm impressed.
    It really changes the consumption in idle and the closing of apps randomly, although it is still present for some, even so, it works.
    I haven't seen any strange bugs related to disabling this service, so at the moment I can say that it's safe and it helps a lot.

    can anyone tell me which app is responsible for showing the recent apps list? Recently in Poco M2 Pro, I disable some app packages via ADB & recent app is no more working/showing & I can't figure out which app package needs to be enabled for this.
