Everyone now and then I'll check to see what apps are running and I'll see that flickr is running. I've disabled all the bloatware I can, including flickr, so why would this run sometimes?

If you freeze the apps with Titanium Backup for example it won't run anymore. TB is a real battery safer.
Isn't disabling an app supposed to keep it from running? What else would disabling do?
I'm not rooted, so I can't use titanium.
install Advanced task killer free from play store;
you'll be able to setup autokill for (background) apps at desired intervals;
it is gonna make a difference in battery and speed

It just hides it from the app drawer. If there's an intent that starts it up, it will start.

I recently upgraded my ATT Captivate to 2.2. I now have a problem with apps starting up on there own even though I've going into apps management and have killed them. I even have app killer and its not automatically killing the apps. These aren't the att apps, these are apps that I've installed.
How can I prevent apps from starting back up. Its killing my battery life.
Thanks

Get os monitor and check how much mem they use. If u see one that is always over 20%, uninstall it.
Also u can stop ur running services.

What BW said. Don't worry about them in there unless you find one using up too much battery/resources. They won't drain your battery unless it's a bad app.

You could try unistalling your task killer and getting Advanced Task Killer (it's the one I personnaly use). Now killing a app won't stop it from restarting, you usually fix that in your running services. Also make sure that these apps arent widgets - in that case they will always restart

Actually, its Advanced Task Killer that I have installed. Yes, I totally understand apps vs. services. I'm stopping the services for the apps that have restarted, yet they continue to restart after the service has been killed. These apps are definitely not widgets.

Umm, may I ask what are these apps?
The only app that takes couple tries for me to stop if the facebook one. Also, some app are made to constinusly refresh and get info from the internet. If that's the case with your apps, block their internet connection or change their settings to have it refresh manually.
Also, you can tell some apps not to start on boot up - that might temporaly fix your problem.

I duno about colornote but as for the others, they automaticly refresh using the internet and so like I said in my other post, you have to set it so the either can't access the internet (might as well unistall them in that case) or set their refresh to manual so it only refreshes when you "tap" on them.
Google maps refreshes for your location. That one will be a pain especially if you have the gps on.
If you get over a day of battery life with moderate usage and that you like these app, then I'd say to just live with it. If it's not the case, I suggest getting rid of them but if OS Monitor doesn't show them using your mem/battery, then they don't actually do/change much.

once on the app, hit your menu button (bottom left one ) and you should have a setting option - each app will be different but it mostly comes to the same thing. Also if you don't have any menu option, there should be a (i) kind of image/icon somewhere in the main app page but these are rare. Most app will have their setting menu.
Thanks. I'll try it and see what happens.

Hi,
I saw that google map use RAM when he isn't launch in cm7.2.
So, is there a way to keep it killed when we don't use it ?
Thank you

If you've got root access you can use Titanium Backup to freeze it. Besides that you can control data usage for individual apps with the pro version of Juice Defender.

Problem is not with data usage but with RAM. Is there another way than with Titanium backup because I can kill with settings but it start a second time.
More, I want to be able to run it when I want.

Freezing it with TiBu should do the trick.
I don't know, really. It shouldn't be starting up like that... I almost said under Accounts/Sync disable it but, that doesn't make sense. It shouldn't be there.
Have you tried uninstalling it completely... and reinstalling when necessary?

Uninstall and reinstall is too long when I need to use it.
I use Autostarts to manage what loads at startup on my phone. Works great for me.
Is there another way than autostarts like a script to mod ?
currently, i'm using hotmail apps and espn fc apps.
the problem is, they keep auto start by themselves, is there any way to stop that?
thanks.
Use es task manager and disable the app you want in startup manager

I havent found a way to stop the hotmail app so I just uninstalled it. Its really annoying since I dont use push notification so why should it always be running.
You can use either Autostarts and Gemini App Manager to do that.

Autostarts is the better of the two IMO. ROM Manager also has the functionality built into it.

I feel you, man. I'm also annoyed with apps that just keep running in the background no matter what I do. In my case, these are apps like Facebook and Google Maps. What I do with them, since there are instances where I actually need them to, is just freeze them using Titanium Backup and then defrost them when I want or need to use them. It's a bit cumbersome but at least I can have the best of both worlds - use of the apps when I need them and said apps not using precious resources when I don't. < via xda app>

This is exactly what I do as well. I have them on my phone (because downloading when you need them is silly), but use TB and freeze them. You don't ever see them but they are there for when you need them. Weather apps, FB, Poweramp, etc. They are always running stealing RAM and battery.

A tip for both of you guys, if you don't know:
You can create a widget with Titanium Backup, select Titanium Backup (Actions), Action, scroll up a bit and select Freeze/Defrost/Launch an app. Select the app and choose Facebook or any other app you want to freeze.
What will this do? When you click the 1x1 widget, it will defrost the app and automagically launch it. When you exit and click it again, it will freeze the app. Reclicking it will defrost and launch and so on. Makes it much less cumbersome.

No problem!
Totally fell on it by accident myself, Titanium Backup really is a great app.
another app (requires root) is rom toolbox:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...wxLDMsImNvbS5qcnVtbXkubGliZXJ0eS50b29sYm94Il0.
it also has an autostart manager!
WIth CM10 I can completely kill facebook and google maps by long pressing the back button. They dont automatically restart like they would if you just force stop them.

That's the same as going in the app details and Force stopping the app.
Doesn't stop Maps from restarting if you have location services enabled of just prefetcherservice feeling like it should be prefetching.

Thanks for the tip, man. TiBu is indeed a very robust tool. It's the most worthwhile purchase I've ever made from the Play Store and I doubt I take advantage of half of what it can do. < via xda app>
Has someone compared LBE security master & ROM toolbox ? LBE inconvenient is that it is always on so...
heyho,
im using latest malysk rk3188 11.5 with microG.
Im still having memory limitations (mostly 200mb free)
im using permanently:
amazon music
google maps
blitzer.de app
fuel price search
car launcher
Im currently testing some task-killer apps with automatic cronjob to kill all background apps, but none of them works as expectet.
some one knows a app whos running in background an kills specified apps?
try ice box.
hmm, that app sounds like an feature from titanium.
im already have some frozen apps.
im looking for a solution to prevent android being slow while my apps are running.
advanced taskkiller has thie feature, but only by handmode (killing some system apps etc

Hi folks, I've tried a couple of apps like CCleaner, All in One toolbox, SD Maid, App Ops, My Android Tools, Greenify, etc. I kind of like All in One toolbox (AIO) for boosting memory, disabling auto startups but I don't like the fact that it's always sitting as a background process. App Ops is very useful but disabling auto startups doesn't seem to sync with AIO toolbox (disabled in AIO but doesn't show up as disabled in App Ops).
I've always come to XDA for all the great apps the devs here have provided and the great community. In my opinion, here's the come to place whenever I look for some tools. I've done some searches and a ton of stuff turned up so I'm wondering if there's a tool like AIO but doesn't behave like a memory hog and not have tons of wake locks that I have to disable in order for it to work.
I'll also welcome any tips on maintaining a lean OS (currently on Lineage 14.1) with regards to what essential apps I should have on my cellphone; any suggestions are greatly appreciated.
I use "All in one toolbox" for disabling auto startups too and hibernate it with Greenify.
In fact I heavily hibernate everything with Greenify.
