I have installed 'Startup Manager (Free) v4.7' and disabled a heap of User and System apps that I just don't use, or think need to be running at startup. I believe this will help the device run better by way of using less RAM and processor to keep it running in the background, in the same way that this works on a Windows based system.
However, it seems some apps run regardless. As an example, I have disabled 'GMail' and 'Email' because I use another app for my email. When a new email is received in my Gmail account, I get a Gmail notification (as well as from my main email app). Drives me nuts!
For good measure, I have also tried running 'Startup Cleaner 2.0', which I also have same disabled/applied.
What am I missing here?

Bump, and I'm looking for recommendations for a good startup manager as well. Autostarts hasn't been updated in ages, and I'm wondering if there's something better than "startup manager", my current go to.
Since u dont use them, get tb and delete them.
personally i use greenify to hibernate apps and prevent them from working. u can download it from playstore.
cheers
Some of these programs I do use, less regularly, but I feel it would help speed my phone up if that went running till I need them... Using less resources.

Since android uses "intents"
then a "startup manager" and task killers do no good at all.
You must disable the intents for each application that keeps starting it.
se
Go check out Autostarts
If you don't want to buy autostarts then you can do it from the command line or you can help me develop these features in the tool in my signature.
Also #Fear 's idea is a good one.

Besides Autostarts I would DEFINITELY go check out the xposed module called BootManager.
It will help you with these.
Try using Greenify it will help......

Am I going effing crazy or what? I can't add hardly anything to my wish list anymore. For over a week now.. It is getting quite irritating as I love that feature. I am always adding stuff to my wish list. Its an awesome bookmarking utility whether it was intended as one or not.
I can maybe add one or two things to the list a day, and when I do they are pretty much only paid apps.
That is exactly how Apples appstore works. You can only add paid applications to your wish list.
If they are planning to change that to only paid apps I'm not gonna be happy. That would be very counterproductive.
Sure you could just install it real quick if its paid, but I don't need apps I don't need right this minute wasting space and other resources. And also I will find a good app for my tablet while browsing on my mobile. So I will add to wish list then download on my tablet.
Every time I try to add something it simply says 'could not add "some app" to wish list'. Am I the only one having this problem because I don't see anyone else complaining about it anywhere. Nor even a section to contact Google plays support team about it.

I apologize. Your reply went unnoticed till now. But I just tried it. First I tried adding to wish list an application on the Google Play Store app on my Nexus 5, it gave the usual 'could not add appName to wishlist'. I then opened the link by sharing to my browser and sure enough it said 'An error occurred, please try again later.'
So unfortunately looks like its happening on both. So am I alone here? Are others able to add free applications to their wish list still? Are you able to Lesalloum? If so must be an issue on my account. But this is the only issue I am having.

No I don't believe so. I can look in titanium backup and see if there is any by that name. Is it a user or system app? Can't find it on store.

Me Too!
I am also having this issue. It is not a software issue, it is an account issue. I have two google accounts on my phone, and online. When I switch to the second account, on both the website and the Play Store in the phone, I can add to its wishlist just fine. But I am unable to add things to the wishlist with my primary account.
When I tap the bookmark icon on my phone, the little "Adding to wishlist..." message pops up, but is replaced by one that says "AppName could not be added to wishlist". When I go on the website and click the add to wishlist button, it says "An unexpected error has occurred. Please try again later." I hadn't added things to my wishlist for a while before today, but it's a pretty annoying issue.
It appears that I can install from the phone and remotely via the website as normal.
Problem solved (for me, anyways)
Well, after a lengthy back and forth and escalation to a higher support person and engineers, it turns out that they issue is the fact that the Google Play wishlist has an item limit!!!! There was no notification of this anywhere, and the error messages gave no indication that this was the case. I'm able to remove items and add new ones, but I'm pretty annoyed that this is even an issue, and that the error message don't say what the issue is, since Google Play knows exactly what the problem is.
I've attached screenshots of the error messages I received. After learning that there is an item limit, I tried removing an app. I was able to remove it, and re-add it. I then removed it, added another app, and was unable to re-add the first app.
Pretty ridiculous if you ask me.
how many?

I am already at my limit because it keeps happening for more than a week now. It started happening a little after a playstore update so I thought that this might be the issue. Cleared data and uninstalled updates but it kept happening so it really must be a limit.
I can check how many apps I have added... Is there a count or should I go and count them on my own?

lol, yeah you need to count them!! But the quick way to count...
I can see there are 3 rows of apps on my mobile's screen. I just counted every 3rd rows while I scrolled down. It is 51.
51 x 9 apps = 459 apps plus 7 apps on last (52th) page.
Let me know! Cheers

Yeah, I have the same limit. I went through my wishlist though and removed a bunch of apps which I might have installed or tried and rejected, so I have a bunch of space to save apps again ^_^

i dont think you can, ive installed the app myself and it still wouldnt block ads with adaway. looks like ads come from crunchyrolls server and cant be blocked, best advice i have for you is get a premium account or try a different app
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Not all ads are from services like Google. Some are built into the app (for example, between turns or levels or attempts). I don't know how Crunchy Roll works - I looked it up on Play, and it looks like the premium service is the way to get rid of ads. So it's probably something on their (server) end that eliminates ads, rather than a paid version of the same app.

Not sure if this is too late, but when Crunchyroll first released their android app, they made a mistake. The app did not display any ads at all. Even though you should always update your apps, I kept this one out dated solely because it does not show any ads.
If you want the apk, you can find it yourself (It was version 0.7.2 I believe) or you can click on the link below

Me and @theos0o have managed to get Milk Music working in devices without the need of having root and modifying the build.prop.This app could not be possible without his help! Enjoy!
EDIT: sorry for the lack of updates,but if Milk music isn't working in your country use a vpn and use it as you would be using it in the
U.S
Edit #2:You cannot listen to explicit content unless you have a samsung acccount. Samsung account apk here: h t t p ://d-h.st/ix0
First download the apk file and then install.Upon installation it should do nothing.
2.Download and install Milk Music if you have not already and open the app. *if it crashes at first its normal
3.Once you are in the Milk music app, press the drawer icon on the top right corner and press on settings.Press to create a Samsung account and the Samsung account application you installed earlier should open allowing you to create an account.Once you have made the account you can toggle the explicit content to "on"
Hope this helped.

Works perfect. Thank you. Been looking for this since the days it first came out. Someone had uploaded it just like this with no build.prop edit and all.. Thanks. ?

It works!
Device: Motorola Xt926.
Found 1 issue so far, cannot allow explicit content, force close on sign in to verify age. Not a big deal.
Edit: NVM, problem is due to not having a Samsung device and account, DUH!
Edit #2: to get sign in and explicit content working:
1 download the Samsung account apk mentioned here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51600563
2 install
3 go to settings>accounts>add account>Samsung, create an account (or sign in if you have one)
3a. Check your email and verify account
4 launch Milk after creating account
Step 5+6 are important! (I couldn't turn on explicit until I did this):
5 in milk menu pane, settings>account details>profile>enter password>confirm
6 back out of profile settings
7 tick the explicit checkbox
8 enjoy.

Confirmed!
It works on my Note 2 (ATT) running Dirty Unicorns. I couldn't get any of the other APKs to work even the one from the Galaxy Apps store.
It installed on my (original) 2012 Nexus 7, too!
It works well for me. Thanks.

Yes, I'm aware. This very thread also has a patched APK of Milk Audio so rooting and Xposed/Chocolate Milk isn't required.
But that's for Milk AUDIO, and my question was about (the new) Milk VIDEO.
And I have since found a source for a patched APK of Milk Video, no tinkering required to get it installed on non-Samsung devices.
Here's the link from the comments on this article.

Thanks very much for this. I note that your patched APK is version 1.0.176956 though. There at least one newer version floating around, 1.0.179553. I'm rooted and that newer version is supposed to be compatible with the Chocolate Milk Xposed tweak. I've tried to sideload that version however, and installation fails every time.
I also note that the actual, current version on the Play Store is 1.4.185368.
So my question is, any chance for a patched APK of any of the newer versions? There's apparently higher music quality and more genre selection to be had. Thanks!
I haven't found a patched Milk apk that will install on ICS(4.0.3) Is it only possible with jb+?
Always get the parse error with all versions, any chance of making compatible?
Sorry for misunderstanding @FoferX- good request btw

For those of us that have updated to official MM what apps/setups are everybody running. If root continues to become more elusive it's good to have root like or alternative apps to fallback on. Some of my favorites right now are Nova launcher, adguard to block ads, silent boot and click light.

I used adguard too because really adblocking is all I need root for, but it really slows my internet down. Other than freezing bloatware, a few essentials; rom toolbox, quickboot and other simple tools that make use of root.
Titanium Backup is still my only real "I need root for this" app.
Supposedly, MM has backup (data) to Google, so this isn't needed any more. Does anyone have more info on this?

I just did the .zip upgrade flash to MM - and didn't root (so I can have Android Pay for a bit....)
So... after a manual phone setup, I think I'm wanting TiBu back. >_<
I set up the data backup thing - and it said to wait 24 hours to see what's backed up. I don't really think there's a "lot" of stuff I need to setup again that's not just accounts - but things like the home screen (TSF Shell) and PieControl (coolace) definitely take the longest. If I can't get my pie setup, I can't use the phone >_< All those have long press functions that are built into muscle memory at this point. I've tried swapping out apps from time to time, and end up just going back to this setup. Having TiBu just for that backup/recovery is probably worth it. If MM backs it up though, I think I can do without root.
Adblocking is what I want the most from root. Adguard seems to be a major battery sucker (I've not looked at how to optimize it, but it is the second highest user of battery behind the screen on my device). I'm also not a fan of having to pay as much as they want for blocking ads in apps....just seems disproportionate. I also want to kill off some of the bloatware as well, but that is a distant second. Silent boot is a great find...

It only restores apps and app versions from the playstore. If you sideloaded any apps they won't restore. Lg backup can restore all apps.

Been using adguard trial and it does drain the battery, but it's only $10/year for premium. For bloat disabling, there's a de-bloat tool I believe in the G4 forum.
