[Q] Aplications self-start !? - General Questions and Answers

Hi Guys, i'm using a 2.3.3 Android Gingerbread and some of my android market apps self-start themselves and just use CPU without need for !? These are Facebook, the music player, mail and so on. Could you advise how to tell the system not to start them automatically? I'm also using the Go Launcher.
Please, help on that. Thanks in advance!

u can use some apps that it can kill some applications when they are starting

this dosent really solve ur issue but u can try GO TaskManager Widget it will kill apps running in background

I was annoyed by the same exact thing on my phone. I tried the apps that are supposed to kill tasks like that, but they come back and start themselves again. I ended up rooting my phone and buying Titanium Backup to freeze those apps so that they don't auto-start/run on my phone at all.

Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks

Restricting startup apps for good - foolproof system needed - battery drain issue

Hi
I have the battery drain issue which is plastered all over this forum. I have tried to tweak systems to the limit but still unable to resolve the problem for good. Juicedefender is $hit as it messes up the APN. I used a few programs to stop apps from starting on phone boot up, they dont woirk. I saw one that explicitly said "will try to restrict this app from startup". How vague is that?
I want to be able to set certain apps from never starting up unless I click on them. I want to have them installed but only start on request. What is the best app to manage apps from never starting up on boot?
I have the following apps always starting up. I never require them but they are nice to have when I need them.
1. com.sonyericson.learningclient
2. wiper app (Dont know what this is for)
3. face rcognition service
4. Google partner setup (what is this)
5. timescape provider
6. SNS provider (no idea what this is)
7. Easy tether
8. syncmypix
9. Photoshop.com mobile
10. Task Panel
11. My Backup Pro
12. BBC news
13. Last.Fm
14. Wikitude
15. Maps
16. Moxier Mail
17. My Uploads (dont know what this is)
18. Sony Ericson Sync
How can I stop all of these apps from ever starting? What app can best manage this?

can you tell me where to get it? i can't find the pro version on the market, not even when i scan this QR-Code.
Im assuming you are not rooted.
Most effective method would be,
Root your phone
remove moxier like apps that you never use.
other apps you wanna keep, install Startup Manager
Configure all the apps you dont wanna start.
If you dont have root
Install Startup Auditor and configure keep disabled option. note that this is not effective as root option.
Some apps you mentioned should not disabled. or you have the freedom to remove. pls use search most of the processes have been discussed here.
I used Startup Auditor some times ago, but i felt my phone slowed down & lagged. Removing Startup Auditor helped
well i don't wanna change the starting apps. fast reboot force closes all apps at once and frees a lot of ram. it's like a reboot of your phone and it works perfect for me. my x10 was never that smooth and fast before. but i want to exclude some apps from being closed, such as alarm clock, setcpu and battery indicator. that's only possible in pro version, which i cannot find on market.
so, does anyone has a link or an idea how to get it (legally, if possible)? or can you check if fast reboot pro is available at your region?
Finally found Fast Reboot Pro. It's way more efficient than Task killers in my opinion. If it's really not at the market anymore (like i experienced) and if it is ok with forum rules, i could upload the apk.

[Q] Background apps and services

Hello.. i need help regarding applications which constantly run in the background such as facebook, email, maps and etc. Using advance task killer and setting it to aggressive doesnt help. It just keeps restarting by itself in the background. This really eats up my RAM usage. Any idea how to solve this problem without rooting my device. The solutions i found in other threads involve apps which needs rooting..thanks

Get rooted according to the ROM/kernel setups you have... Then use titanium backup or any other similar app to freeze or delete these unnecessary apps...
BTW don't use facebook app for android... It is horrible... Use friendcaster or use opera mini or dolphin browser mini for browsing facebook!

Another noob question...What is the difference between freezing an app and uninstalling one? I mean, it's a bit obvious, but also a bit vague...
My first few questions are rather broad/major... What's the different between a "package" and a ".APK" based on the spreadsheet being linked? Does freezing keep the process from restarting upon rebooting the phone??
Do I want to freeze apps that I want to keep for possible future use? Uninstall is for anything I want to get rid of completely and never plan to use, correct? I likely know the answers to these...But I also read that freezing an app is better and frees up more system resources than uninstalling....how can that be true? I assume uninstalling an app also "freezes" it, AKA stops it from processing...Correct?
So apps I might want in the future, like clock widgets, I just want to freeze, correct? Same for calender, calculator, etc?
On the other hand, I was to uninstall items like VZW Navigator, correct?
Sorry for redundent questions but I'm just making sure I do everything right.

From what I understand, freezing essentially deactivates the app. As long as the app is frozen, it should not start, regardless if your phone reboots. If you freeze the app, it will still be there, just not working where as uninstalling it will completely remove the app. If you are not sure if you want it, just freeze it.
Freeze disables it and leaves it in the rom and usually hides from app drawer. Uninstall deletes it from rom making rom footprint smaller but saves it in TIBU backup folder. Defrost re-enables app in rom. Uninstalled apps can be reinstalled from TIBU. Bottom line frozen app is still in rom thus not actually debloated just disabled. Uninstalled is removed from rom but saved by TIBU thus debloated.

I know this is an old thread, but does anyone have an updated list for TW 4.3?
I have this link
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AqTvctlW89DtdC1qVUlLeVFTV3ZOdUtDclpBdVRQOUE&pli=1#gid=0
but it's clearly old as I don't see listings for Cloud and Backup Assistant Plus, which appear to be some Verizon (not Samsung) backup options.
Anyone have a current list?

[Q] The holy grail of apps

HI all,
Not too sure what to ask here,
I want to know if there is an app that will allow me to pick which apps i want to stay in memory.
In other words, stop apps from running or restarting, unless I open them, and to kill them when Im done.
Ive tried a few apps, but none seem to actually stop the app from restarting.
Running SGS i9000 Gamerzrom JB 4.2 Root
Titanium Backup Pro
Try titanium back up pro, it has the feature to convert downloaded apps to a system app. Apps converted to system app won't be killed and should keep it from restarting. For more info, search about titanium backup and converting apps to system apps.
Try using 'All in One Toolbox and go to Startup options where you can configure which apps can start on boot(needs root). You can also uninstall apps from it. It is as its name does many things and alos has a nice Home Screen widget for quick access. Try it.
Sorry forgot to mention ive been using ZDBox all in one, it has a task killer in it too.
Hard to elaborate what im looking for.
Put it this way, I want everything to stay closed until I use it, and once im done using it, for it to close and stay closed again.
Killing at startup only works on startup. If the app is set to restart then thats a wasted feature.
I dont really want to change an app into a system app as that will keep it running when the system allows it to.
Any other suggestions? there has to be an app out there that developers or memory attentive users, are using to keep their memory and cpu free.

[Completed] How to remove stock dialer entirely

Hello there XDA gurus.
I am here to do one thing, and that is completely remove the stock dialer that came with my GS4 i9505. I recently rooted my phone and removed a lot of bloatware etc, but as I am using a dialer app, I would like to remove the stock one as it still loads up whenever I make a call or receive one making the experience a bit slower.
Is it possible? How would I do this?
Thanks.
I have read it may be better to freeze the process so that it doesn't load, rather than deleting it. Would you say that is a better option? If so, how would I do that? Sorry, I am new to this.
You have read correctly. Please Freeze the Dialer you don't need. Make sure NOT TO freeze Contacts app and Call Log app.
Reboot and immediately test with the new dialer to see if the calls go through ok.
DO NOT Delete any System Apps for that might break something.
If you are not Rooted then you can disable apps from Settings > Apps. If you are rooted, use Titanium Backup.

What is the name of the process that runs the dialer ? I can't find it.
You may want to post in Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting for more detailed help from users of this device.
Typically its called Dialer or Phone or Such.
