Really good software, but dev didn't handle move to paid version ethically; I kept the previous version backed up, thankfully!

h Disapointed. I tried this with Dinc Stock Froyo 2.2 and as soon as i rebooted and checked which apps where running with open advanced task killer, most of the apps I diabled (sipdroid, Qik, Backup and Package Tracking), where re-enabled. WTF

Maybe it doesn't support 2.2 devices?
1. Fully support all android OS 1.5, 1.6, 2.0, 2.1 devices (Both rooted and un-rooted phones)

useless thing!

you could have handled the "free" to "paid" transition a little better than forcing people to the paid version.
at least make a lite vs. full version, and could have transitioned what used to be the "free" version to lite version.
or make it a donation ware
you are abusing the Android Market listing by keeping it as a "Free" status when it obviously is limited demo

So....does it actually work?
So far I'm seeing no one that says this app worked and stopped certain apps from launching on a non rooted phone.....**** if it does that I'd pay for it

Why is xda featuring this on their homepage? Is that a paid advert?

Is there a way to try this without buying it?

This thing totally messed up my phone! After installing and configuring some of the apps not to run on startup, my phone started having FC issues. When enabled back and removed the app I found Google maps couldn't start anymore, Android marker couldn't either and other apps froze on launch. Thankfully I did a backup image before so I restored and never looked back at this app.
All this happened about a week ago. Be aware.

There is a trial version for seven days.

This is Only for 1.6 to 2.1 according to the website. Follow the link to the site gets you much information about product.

Is it 'free' or is it 'trial' ?

Why to buy such apps if you can get others with same or at least similar features for free, like autorun killer? And for unlocking more features you can donate. That´s much better done than with the app from this thread.

Thanks for your suggestion.

Hello DavidAndroid, I'm using your Startup Manager, and it works so far.
I have this application keep Force Close it self at some time back then, which I don't know why. I uninstall and reinstall it again, and it doesn't FC anymore. It works normal again. The trouble is that when I try to re-enable application that I already had disabled with your Startup Manager, it weren't there. It was not on the list of the applications in Startup Manager, I found that there is only applications with status enabled are there, but the disabled applications were not there. Can you help me?

Trial-ware is not allowed here.

FAQ
What is freezing an app?
Freezing an app is a process that put an app hidden state in Android OS. All data is reserved. Therefore, a frozen app does not use any run-time resource (such as CPU or memory) and consume zero-battery. This option should be chosen if you would keep an app, but do not use it or try to test an alternative app. A frozen app can be defrosted later
What is defrosting an app?
This is a revert process of freezing that brings a frozen app back to Android OS. Some apps need reboot your device in order to effectively defrost.
What is backing up/restoring an app?
Backing up an app saves a current version of that app source (i.e. .apk file). Currently, backing up data will be supported soon. Restoring an app will overwrite the current app’s version by the backed up version. This option should be chosen if you want to test a new version of an app.
Which caches will be cleared?
This app attempts (I said attempt) to remove different caches on your devices. Currently, App Manager {root} supports three options: clear system caches, clear caches on internal storage and clear caches on SD card. There options can be enabled/disabled from setting button on Overview tab.
For further question, please leave a comment or contact our support team support @anttek.com

Good job ! Downloading now...

I'm down with this; I've been looking for something to freeze apps for a whle.
A question: is there a difference between the free and paid versions in the market? Ads, or just the satisfaction of contributing to the cause?
But I'm not sure how "angry bird, robo defense, sims" relate to this app... is this to make this app show up when someone searches for Angry Birds?

In theory this sounds a great idea. Will download and give it a try. Very good idea. Works great. Like the freezing thing. Useful on N1 with C7 as RAM is at a premium now.

It looks very interesting but what has it more to offer than titanium backup pro?

many many thanks. already installed on my phone. thank you

Very big thanks,this works great on my EVO! Again Thank You.

This app totally messed up my phone a while back. I downloaded it & opened the app (granted su) but didn't do anything with the app. All of a sudden, every system app started force closing. I couldn't open the market or settings to uninstall because they would force close before they even opened. It took me a couple of minutes to get through the force close popups, then I finally opened Titanium backup & uninstalled the app, then restarted my phone. After restarting the phone, the apk for this app was in /system/app. I deleted it with root explorer. I then just decided to wipe & restore from a recent backup. I really thought this app was a scam until I saw this post.
Has anyone else had any issues with this app?

nice...downloading now

That's great!!! I couldn't download any app except this one.
I cleared the cache and voila: I can download other apps!

Nice App. I wonder if it is possible to implement a feature.
The android OS is dynamically allocating ram to apps and then let them "run" as a background process, making them launch faster. When you open an App that use a hell lot of ram (like the browser), it seems like android kills these background processes on a random basis to free up ram to the foreground application (i.e the browser).
Will it be possible to make some kind of priority list, so the user can define what processes should be killed first?
Example: Handcent SMS is kind of slow to start up on my SGS (dohh) unless it is already loaded into the Ram. Since I use Handcent SMS a lot, I would like it to stay in the Ram for a faster launch, unless I launch a program/game that needs the entire amount of ram on my device.
Thanks

NIce, congrats.
Some info about.
Can I use it to remove system app too??
I have a rooted Desire, work fine on it??
And, about Nand (Im a newbie), how can know if I have an unlocked nand?
Thx
PS. I have bought a used rooted phone.

@ kbkrogs AutoKiller Memory Optimiser does exactly what you asked for. It classifies apps to rate their priority for clearing from RAM. You can assign a "lower oom value" to individual apps to give them a higher priority for keeping loaded. The developer has a good explanation on his page how this works.

Thanks. Did not know that

Would be great to have a save app feature for market links to set it more apart from Titanium. Check out appSaver on the market.

If you uninstall and reinstall you will lose the ability to find and restore frozen apps. You would think an app manager would have backup settings.

im pretty sure with the future update of backup of app and data it would back up itself right?****

Question: Do app backups re-establish Market links when they are restored? IMO this is one of Ti-Backup's strongest features

APP freezes when opened... in Android 4.0.4
Well i showed promise and the the app froze every time I opened it... The freezer froze...

Killing services

This is a pretty general question, but I couldn't find much on google about this. According to the task killers on the market, an app won't be able to stop a service like exchange or maps automatically (it can only kill the UI app). However, the exchange and map services have lots of alarms associated which increase my battery drain by at least a full %/hour. If I kill the services manually every time I use one of these apps then everything is fine. Does anyone have insight into whether an app or script called from tasker can accomplish this automatically?
FYI: I'm using the CM9 unofficial ROM.

You do not need to kill tasks. The system automatically purges non system apps. Just leave them be and always exit an app using the back button

"App killers" aren't recommended past Froyo and can even harm performance.
Under ICS, you can "Disable" many apps using the Manage apps off the main-screen menu. Titanium Backup can also "freeze" apps.
Many of the Google services get pretty "greedy" depending on your settings. That would be a good place to start for "core" services like those.
If that doesn't work, there is the sledgehammer approach of removing the apk from /system/app -- If you do that, watch your logcat to provide some confidence that you haven't disabled something that you need for another app to work.

Anyway I'm not trying to kill the "apps" themselves. They can sit paused in memory. I want to end their back-end services without uninstalling the app. The exchange service, like I said, will drain the battery with its unnecessary alarms even if I disable sync and turn the sync frequency to "never" and uncheck all the boxes when deciding what to sync. Google screwed up majorly with exchange, but when I kill the service manually using the method you describe then everything is fine and I can still boot up the app like normal to check my email manually. I just want to automate killing the service.

Unrelated to your OP but related to your post - on CM9 based ROM's - if you go into Settings > Developer Options - scroll to the bottom and select kill app back button. It works well.

I am also interested in a solution to this. I was hoping to find a widget that displays services, daemons or whatever you wanna call them, in plain text on my home screen, similar to rainmeter for windows. Then you just tap it to manage them. There has to be something similar around.

Remember that time when your device lost 50% of battery life during the night because a gazillion services from careless apps kept keeping your device awake and you have no way to disable them?
Or when Facebook kept waking up your phone for no reason and you find no way to fix it other than uninstalling it?
Servicely to the rescue!
First of all make sure you're ROOTED (it won't work otherwise). You'll be able to select which apps will be put to sleep when the display goes off. Just like magic!
You can also disable/enable permanently any service on your device. It's useful if you have services that tend to auto-restart and keep your device awake, or if you have games sending you never-ending notifications.
This app is somewhat powerful so act responsibly when using it. I'm more than happy to help if you contact me

The apk in the Play Store is free with ads, but I've disabled the ads for the apk below. You can still purchase the key from inside the app which helps me keep producing stuff for you, but you don't have to do so.
You can choose between two "sleep" modes. The soft mode I assume it's probably similar to what Greenify does. The hard mode completely disables the apps you've choosed during screen off, and re-enabled during screen on. This mode removes any shortcuts or widgets from those disabled apps, but this is the most secure way to guarantee those apps won't wake up or do something crazy. That said, you'll be fine with the soft mode.

DISCLAIMER
I take no responsibility for any fault caused by any procedures of the app. No warranties of any kind are given.

Looks promising. Might replace greenify this little gem, thank you??

Enabled pro and start on boot but after closing the app an open it again, it shows this.

Should greenify be disabled/uninstlled before using servicely??

Really like this app! This is like the perfect version of greenify. And probably with more features to come. I was just wondering, is it save to add google play services to list? Or wil I loose allot of functionality with the apps that rely on google play services?

Will this also stop notifications from the app when you have it disabled? Like fb, instagram, xda and twitter?

@franciscofranco
Another possible improvement for your new app:
- With the pro Version there is the option to start the service automatically with the boot. If you boot the device there is no information like "set on boot service has been..." Dont know if you need this message on the boot like in FKU for you new app, but maybe you could make it as an option
and: if you close the app from the task manager, you see the normal action: app is restarting. After the restart the settings/killing apps applies again?
i instantly bought the pro version, before even using it
And if you add a new app to the service, it will be killed after 60 secs? or is first a reboot needed?
And if you kill an app like google keep, can the changes still be synced?
Sorry for the large amount of quetions, i´ve never used apps like this

wow... really like this... thanks franco
just a request for someone who knows... we can get a list with safe services to kill?

Yeah... does this have the background sync feature which I believe Greenify has??

Gonna try this for a while and replace greenify if it's better
Thanks

So if a service is idle, let's kill it every minute. The service restarts - which would come with a CPU/memory expense greater than if it had remained idle - and repeat this every minute?
This doesn't seem like an informed decision. It could just be a checkbox in an application's settings that would alleviate the service from repeating.
I don't see why you don't educate people on looking at application's checkboxes.

@franciscofranco I'm a fan of your work and this app looks beautiful. However, I have a pretty stupid question. How is this different from a task killer and automated killing? I thought those were bad, but is this different?

Turned it off for Google play music, google keyboard, Google play services, lmt. I ran into issues with app fc here.

no if an app is selected, it has nor background sync - tested it with telegram (btw with greenify donation it doesn´t work too...)

This app keeps closing apps that I'm using. I thought it only closes if the app is in the background? For example, I'm watching a YouTube video and it just closes.

Umm, this is essentially a task killer....

I don't understand the difference from a task killer. Task killers drain more battery. If it kills a service, it autorestarts, right? Or it is like greenify, keeps the service from starting?
I've tried this with whatsapp and didn't work. I know that is not suppose to kill services in the background, but what does it is suppose to kill? If it is not in the foreground, it is in the background... For an intense, having facebook installed, there is always a background service, this will never kill it, right?
It would be great if if would work better thank greenify, and stopping services from getting started.

Great work Franco! Testing now

I have Greenify, not sure if I'll use this... but purchased paid pro version to support Franco and his awesome Kernel (and other dev projects).

System ui memory leak

Do any of you facing an issue of system ui taking a lot of memory? It happens with me daily and only way to a temporary fix is reboot.

What device? What ROM? What mods? What's running in the background? What makes you think it's specifically a memory leak, instead of something else like a runaway process?
Without details, we cannot help you.

Moto turbo xt1225, stock marshmallow with December security patch. Everything stock, no mods or root. I think it's a memory leak because system ui takes as much as 400-500 mb in couple of days after rebooting.

1) What is causing YOUR memory leaks? Could be anything. Lots of apps like to run in the background, even if you are not using them, so that when you do "open" them, they will snap open in an instant. (Since they are already running as a background process.) The developer thinks HIS app is so important it needs priority. Meanwhile all the time you don't have it actively open, it's still running in the background sucking up RAM. Every app developer thinks their app should be your most important app.

I don't know, as I've always been rooted and will always be rooted, but check it out. Anyway at least on my rooted phone Greenify will let you forcefully HIBERNATE all apps on a list of your apps that you choose, so that they will NOT run until you manually open them. Like my flashlight app doesn't need to be running in the background until I NEED my flashlight. HIBERNATE. Until I open the app. Then upon closing the app, will go back into HIBERNATION. Greenify will suggest apps to hibernate, but you can expand to a larger list of ALL your apps to choose from. I have over 200 apps, so I just went down through the list and checked most of them off.
Of course, you don't want to hibernate stuff like your email app or messaging app or weather widget. Those DO need to run in the background. But most everything else, yes.
_________
2) This won't necessarily help you, since you are not rooted, but I also use Auto Reboot to perform a daily scheduled reboot of my phone when I'm not using it. Like 4am, but would depend on each person's preference. Rebooting clears the RAM, prompts app updates, and generally just refreshes your phone. Same speed benefits as rebooting any PC. I have this set on my phone, my wife's phone, as well as all my friends' Androids who I tech support. We're all rooted of course.
Rebooting daily prevents a lot of the lag that seems to accumulate over time. So, I know you are thinking the reboot is "temporary fix", but rebooting daily can prevent any memory leaks from becoming a runaway process.

This scheduled pre-emptive rebooting when you are NOT using the phone is better than having to reboot when you are actively using the phone, yes? At work, we have a server that seems to freeze up about once a week. It would freeze up when we were using it, really needing it! Finally our engineering staff got the idea to schedule a weekly reboot of this server during a down time when we were NOT using it, and now it never freezes up!
