Is there a possible way to have a program boot on start up to curb loading times? Kinoma play is an amazing program, I love its functionality, ease of use, looks, and consolidation...hate the load time. Is it possible to make Kinoma boot when the phone boots to curb that time everytime the phone is reset? Honestly it would be a good idea to do with programs like opera as well.
Sure, add a shortcut of the .exe to Windwows\StartUp
You'll want to use a good file explorer like GSFinder, navigate to opera.exe or whatever, make a shortcut to it, and drop the shortcut in
\windows\startup
as syqe said.
Be aware that sometimes shortcuts to apps on the SD card don't always start up, due to the delays in accessing the SD on startup. However, try it and see.

If it doesn't start up, then add to registry boot.
Boot the program after start up or include the boot time in start up, ( difference ? ). Now you have a program that is constantly running in the background ussing up program memory amd battery life. Is it worth the extra few seconds of bootup time ?

yes...i don't know if you have the newest version of kinoma play...its far and away the most amazing application for Winmo, it consolidates almost everything I do online and offline into one finger friendly app...but when you load it, its literally a 2-3 minute wait on my Touch HD. I Run a Lite Rom that doesn't have Touch Flo or anything bloated on And battery life...lol we have HTC devices here, if that was really an issue I would have went with a battery friendly phone. Thanks guys for all the prompt responses.
Check your scanning settings?
I'm running a TPC rom on my Tilt, and Kinoma's start time is a couple of seconds, not minutes.
The only reason I can think of for such a long start time is if you are letting it scan your entire device each time it starts. That was one of the biggest drawbacks to the program it its earlier releases. You can now turn the automatic scanning on or off, and select the directories you want scanned.
I hope this helps

Yes this information is quite useful that we can choose which drives or directories to scan and thus save our valuable time.

I'm not sure if this belongs here or in another forum but I will ask anyway.
In FdcSoft Task Manager 3.1, I tried ending the process "Opera9.exe" in an attempt to get a new opera build installed. TM said it was unable to end this process, "Do you want to kill it?" . Select kill process, then a message pops up stating " Process Opera9.exe sucessfully killed" ...then the phone becomes un-responsive for nearly 10 - 15 seconds before control is finally restored. I then notice that Opera9.exe is running again, and at the bottom of the processes list. How does one go about killing Opera9.exe for good and prevent the thing from reloading itself after termination?
Device - Touch Pro 2 running WM6.1
edit your registry....
delete Opera9 from:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Apps\
and soft-reset your phone.
Also, check me - does your device use Opera9 with "Push Internet"? If so, that may be contributing, since in the newer WM6.5 devices, HTC links Push Internet to Opera Mobile.
I had this same issue, and did the registry tweak above (to stop Opera from loading at boot), and since I had no interest in using "Push Internet", went here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=532948
and followed the guidelines. Poof! No "Push Internet", device doesn't load Opera at boot, and doesn't keep re-loading Opera because it thinks it has to to keep Push Internet working.
Good luck...

Default - Value not set
That, is what is contained in the Bootlauncher key. No other DWord , nor Binary data. So I searched the reg using search function. Using ''Opera'' or ''Opera9'' as the key words. Mostly what came up , were settings related to Manila, Task Man Exclusive, TouchFlo, UserAgent, Lockstream, RIL..etc. What is Lockstream? I'm thinking VZW moved that boot setting someplace.
it's a KEY (looks like a folder)...
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\HTC\BootLauncher\Apps\
delete the whole Opera KEY... it's inside APPS

I know it's a key... was trying to explain myself. Take a look and see what I mean. Opera is not in there.
that's strange.

I appreciate the links. I looked for OperaPrel- in the processes list but did not find one. Was going to try looking for an .xml file that may have control over this, but after awhile I decided to try something different. I recall reading about two different services that may or may not play a role in this. One , CMGuardian, and two, Push Internet Service. I honestly didn't tthink I had Push internet. I thought that was on devices that used some sort of WAP connection only. Anyway, in the services menu, I set both of those services to manual start and re-booted. Upon startup, I noticed memory usage was down a little, and also that Opera9.exe was NOT in the processes list. I haven't tried installing another version of Opera yet but will soon. Hopefully this resolves that other issue I had. Thanks for your help in this matter.
My problems are exactly the same as the ones that can be found in this thread.

The app pops up for a second, i see the icon and the words "signing in..." for about a second, and then it returns me to the home screen.
This is the log got by plugging the phone to my computer.

The thread seems to suggest a memory problem, but I've got 29MB free. Oh, and I'm running 2.2.
Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?

Well, I had the same problem, and I suspected memory as well, since I have been getting the low memory error for a few days now.
I uninstalled flash, which takes an enormous amount of space! 12 MB. But I also changed the Gmail policy for syncing. I had few very large folders set to sync 7 days worth, and one of those had a ton of inline images. I actually think that is what was causing the trouble, but I am not certain.
Either way, I freed up enough memory so that GTalk could turn on. I guess that sucker needs space, too! I wish more apps would use the install to SD card option. Especially giant ones, like Yahoo Fantasy Football (another 12MB one).
Oh well, I hope that helps.
P.S. I am on an original Droid running Froyo.
For me was the memory problem. I"ve uninstalled a 20 mb. prg and that solved the problem for me. I also needed to reboot my device after so the temp files will be erased along to. Now i have like 30 - 35 mb. free on the phone memory.
I noticed that there are many people using AOSP roms (CM mostly) and are unsatisfied with the S-Pen experience. Now there are couple of applications that bring S-Pen sheer awesome back from dead ('Reset S-Pen' for calibration and 'GMD Control' for gesturing), so there's that.
Out of these many people, there are few who notice that even when S-Pen is calibrated, whenever Note goes in landscape mode, the cursor still is following portrait calibration. This is problem 1.
Problem 2 is out of these few people, there are even fewer people, like myself, who are left-handed. So when we go from Stock to AOSP/AOKP/AOSPA/CM/"Insert ROM here", we are screwed pretty much from the beginning.
So, wrapping up the *****ing, here is something I created on Tasker to ease my life, and I hope it teases your's too.
NOTE: I'm a left handed person and everytime android restarts, it sets hand preference to Right hand. So 2 of these tasks automatically set dominant hand to left whenever any of the profiles are matched.
Installation Instruction:
0. Get Tasker from Playstore if you don't already have. It is THE AUTOMATION TOOL for Android devices, makes your phone actually "smart".
1. Download Tasker.zip (or save it, you know what I meant).
2. Open the archive and extract the lonely folder "Tasker" into your sdcard (internal sd if phone has, well, internal sd).
3. Open Tasker. Now if my profiles, tasks and scene isn't already listed, don't worry, just open menu and select Data>Restore. From there you may either get a warning Dialogue to Restore or a file explorer inside Tasker folder containing Backup.xml. Either way, just Restore.
4. Use common/non-sense and activate profiles accordingly.
X. If you're on CM10.2, you can flash this. Replaces Vanilla Black Arrow Cursor with Samsung stock S-Pen cursor. Extremely helpful if you like doodling or drawing.

Hello,
Let me start to point out that I know that Smart Manager is not such a useful tool on most cases, but heck I like it and from time to time I click the "clean all" button on the widget it comes with just to have somehow "clean" system.
Now one thing that bugs me is that for some reason after I clean the system I get a message like the screenshot below stating that some app is eating away my batter faster then it should. Well in my case is PowerAmp with ~2% battery in half an hour. NowI would say it's fine, but heck Smart Manager keeps bugging me with this all day even if I used PowerAmp for half an hour while traveling to work in the morning.
Ok so what I want to ask, is how the heck I get rid of this message without uninstalling the app as Smart Manager recommends (heck won't do that, rather live with it).

I had the same issue with the speedtest app. It went away after deleting it and reinstalling it again. Hope it works :good:
Iam not using widget, so i got this message when i opened Smart Manager. In my case it was Endomondo (while running with gps ON).
So when i opened Smart Manager i had a similar pop-up as you, BUT with app name and (if i remember right) 3 options: force close; ignore; uninstall;.
So i just picked ''Ignore'' and it haven't bothered me ever since.
Not sure if my comment can help you in any way tho.
Hi.
I assume that someone spies against me. look at these 3 reasons:
1. my notification list contains a transparenr/black icon. see image (i marked the "hole" yellow frame):

}
how can i know which app activates it? the active apps list seems pretty ok.
2. after i turn on my device (samsung galaxy s2) and wait for about a minute or so, i turn on the screen, want to draw my pattern but it screen tells me that i should wait 30 seconds, means that someone or somewhat has previousely tried to guess the pattern and failed to do so for 5 times. it happens every time i turn on the device.
3. my waze app sometimes loads by itself, even while i'm not touching the device.
what do you guys think?
Thanks!

well first of your image link is broken anyways i am assuming your phone is rooted if it were you could try installing greenify to see which apps are running in background also if you think you have a R.A.T on your phone (p.s a R.a.t stands for remote administration tool and is a type of spyware) if i were you i would try installing a free anti-virus like avast run that see what happens if that doesn't show up as anything and you are still feeling like you are being watch maybe flash to a nandroid backup?
thanks
