I would Like to disable Play Store, Maps, Facebook, Hotmail, What's new and Some other 3rd party application from starting up with the phone. I would like to kepp these applications and only disable it's startup during booting. Anyone have a Solution.
I also dont want to delete or freeze them just to exclude apps from starting on boot.Help would be appreciated.
Guys Titanium Backup and ROM Toolbox are a few that does the job. Try them

Some update guys?!
Have you tried those applications? Did you solved your problems?
I tried Titanium and only did freeze app, not exclude from booting, didn't try ROM toolbox will do.
Did try to disable using System tuning pro. It disables the app completely. In a way I could stop LG's crappy App's.
I use Super Manager,it also has a function of disabling startup items.
There are many apps can do this . If you want the best app it's called "startup manager"
Or you can use "system tuner"

I use Gemini App Manager, I am unable to change all "Auto Run" options disabling any app I want from auto running for whatever reason, including but not limited to the device booting. I have changed all non essential apps to only run when I launch them. I use gemini for a lot of things, including copying apps from phone to SD and/or back to phone, uninstalling, etc. Its a great little app.
I think this seems like the right thread for me... I'm running ICS 4.0.3 on a factory rooted 7" Craig CMP741e tablet (CVS special, starter tab, AnTuTu rating about 4300). This is my first tablet, so I'm learning as I go. I want to try to speed up boot time. I'm running ES Task Manager. I've already disabled all non-system files from starting on boot, I just want to know which of these system files I can safely disable from the startup list without hurting anything:
Aldiko Premium
Calendar Storage
Contacts
Download Manager
Email
Exchange Services
GetJar
GMail
Google Contacts Sync
" " Partner Setup
" " Services Framework
Maps
Media Storage
MusicFX
YouTube
Those are all the ones that ES is suggesting I keep enabled. I don't want to actually remove any of them from my tablet, I just don't want them wasting any memory and causing lag until I actually choose to use them. It's a beginner tablet, just trying to squeeze as much performance out of it as possible.

Hey everyone,
I'm having an issue with apps not giving me the ability to choose what app I want to use when I click share. If I try to share a webpage in chrome it goes directly to Hangouts, it doesn't let me choose gmail or twitter, etc. Same in Feedly and other apps.
Does anyone else have this issue? It is very annoying and I can't figure out a fix.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
Same problem here.
I noticed it after installing chrome beta, but it could have been a coincidence.
I tried clearing the defaults and the settings for the Hangouts app, no luck...
Disabling the app from the settings restores the usual list of apps, but I do need hangouts!
Hi there.
I just started to tinker with Tasker.
Until now, I got everything I could hope for from this wonderful app.
The only task I can't configure is this: how can I stop DigiCal, or any other app, from displaying a pop up while watching a YouTube video, or while navigating with Google Maps?
I downloaded the Autonotification and KC Processes plugins, but I can't implement them.
For what is worth, I'm using a Galaxy S5, no root.
Thanks in advance for your help.

AutoNotification plugin only interacts with notifications created by any app not with popups.
I dont think tasker can interfare directly to the process of other apps.
For better help try taskers official group on Google Groups.

OK the title is self explanatory but lets go a bit further
I have two apps on my phone that I want to stop but primarily Facebook, I don't want them starting when the phone boots and I don't want them restarting on their own when I kill the process or stop the apps, I believe they have processes running that don't readily identify themselves as being associated with the apps so even if I kill/force stop the apps a short time later they just start up again.
I still want to be able to use the apps I choose so I don't want to uninstall or freeze them
The apps (for starters) are Facebook and ES file Explorer, I don't think ES FE is that bad and just stopping it from running on boot would be good enough but Facebook is an entirely different matter, it is extremely annoying.
Sometimes my phone heats up like it is doing a lot of work on something and when I kill facebook it all settles down

Greenify should do the trick.
There's also Boot manager (if you're rooted+xposed)

Greenfly does not achieve what I am trying to do, and boot manager does not stop facebook from loading, it is still there in my apps and running no matter what I do and if I force stop it and stop the process it is back there again later without rebooting
I suspect that facebook uses and app or process that is not readily identifiable as facebook by name and then this app or process then manages the actual facebook apps that you see running as facebook, to actually stop facebook you would need to identify this app or process to totally shut it down, so if I am right - does anyone know what this app or process is so that I can stop it and take control of facebook, I rarely use it and don't see why it needs to be running 24/7 spying on me
I am pretty sure someone on these forums know the answer

Any app that runs so forceably even when you try to stop it should not be on your phone.
It can be awoken by listening and reacting to any of the numerous intents on android. For example; the app could've been coded to wake up each time you open the camera/dialer/attempt to dial a number/connect to the internet and so on. Google Play Services operates in the same way.
Cutting off wake up paths in greenify should fix that. Or download 3C System Tuner and disable some of the triggering intents for the app.

ok I am going to assume you hae android and facebook app installed............if not then never mind because you have nothing to contribute
if you have the facebook app installed then go ahead and look at apps and processes and try to stop it from invading your phone............good luck with that ...please report back
I have since uninstalled facebook app and will access it through my browser if and when I need to
I worked in IT all my life and I don't like facebook, in fact I don't like seeing people with their faces buried in their phones 10 hours a day, there is something very wrong going on - I love and support technology but as some experts are now saying, it is now a serious health problem and I believe them............so what does facebook have to do with this..................well by far the biggest offender, so much so that it is scary
my advice to anyone with a mobile smartphone is to uninstall the facebook app and just access it through a browser, people need to realize that while you have all these devices and various accounts apps and cookies etc etc, everything you do on every device, everything you access - everywhere you go, everything you do is being monitored and recorded.................everything and I mean EVERYTHING
you think your life is private lol
anyway I couldn't find a way to shut the facebook app down..........so I uninstalled it, not sure that will even make a difference but it is gone, no more updates every 2 days - no more overheating as FB tries to upload stuff to some cloud somewhere without my permission................it is gone
sorry for the rant

Startup Manager would come in handy but it only works for 1 boot and you need to repeat each time you want to reboot
Out of curiousty isn't freezing it better than deleting it?
And yeah the browser version is better

I have a suggestion, but you might not get notifications when you have activity on Facebook. You won't know about any Facebook activity until you actually go and check it yourself.
Here is a workaround that doesn't even involve having Facebook or Facebook Messenger installed.
Use your favorite mobile browser(I recommend Puffin Browser or Firefox, Firefox requires some setup though, explained and linked below), go to Facebook in browser, login, have it save your login info in browser.
Then, open your browser settings and find the option to add the page to your homescreen as a shortcut. Open your Facebook settings in browser, find notification settings, set it to notify you of activity via text or via email, if you choose to notify via email, use the email that you are logged into your device with. Then, open your email app, go to its settings and set it to notify you when you get an email. This setup will save battery, save space because Facebook won't be installed, have less demand on CPU and mobile data. It will also allow you to still receive your Facebook notifications without having the app installed.
A workaround for managing your Facebook messages without having Messenger installed is as follows.
When you open the Facebook shortcut that you added to homescreen, open your browser menu, tap "request desktop site", when the page reloads you can then check your messages by tapping the messenger icon at the top of the Facebook page. If you try to check messages without requesting desktop site first, it will redirect you to install messenger. An alternative to this is to use Puffin Browser or Firefox(use this to set up Firefox in automatic desktop view) or use another browser that saves login info and automatically opens pages in desktop view, this will do everything for you without having to request desktop every time you open the page, just make sure that you create the homescreen shortcut using Puffin(or whatever other browser you use that has automatic desktop site) instead of your usual browser.
All of this requires no extra apps or disabling/hibernating/greenifying any apps.
This is the setup I use for the exact same reason that you're wanting to avoid.
Does this get you anywhere close to what you're looking for?

Yes that is what I have done, now facebook doesn't take over my device anymore lol not that I used it much in the first place
In terms of privacy google isn't much better but then they own the OS so not much can be done with that one

It's possible to not have Google on a device and use alternative apps with similar function. There are many members here that take their privacy very serious and uts,what they do with their devicesm

just a little more feedback on this for those that area interested
After removing facebook (uninstalling the app) the difference in quite extraordinary, yes I have an xperia Z1 which is a couple of years old but it still does everything I need it too, removing the facebook app has made my phone lightening quick, I also no longer have the every other day massive updates and I can still access facebook through my browser when I feel like it, looks just the same responds just the same but without the massive overhead
seriously - do yourself a favour and dump that facebook app................it turned into a monster and there is a very easy solution

I wish I could thank this post a dozen times. I tell people to get rid of facebook all the time. People come to this forum wondering why their battery usage is outrageous and why their device is so sluggish. Then you find out that they have Facebook and messenger installed along with Snapchat, Whatsapp, etc..
People just don't realize how much demand these social media apps put on the hardware.

I have problem with my s6. I dont know why its opening itself of random apps like email app not gmail, find my phone, google play games, voice recorder. I dont opened . I used when lock phone like messenger ,fb, snapchat, i closed the apps - closed all in recent app button. And thats weird when phone shutting down or power off, and when turned on i see apps opened by itself like clock, find my phone in settings which i dont run when it booted phone. Why my s6 doing like that? I tried factory reset and wipe cache. Dont help!!! Doesnt matter when power off or lock button still opened in recent apps random programs.
That's the way it's supposed to be. It's always like that, for everyone.
Some apps are supposed to stay open, for various reasons. Some like Find My Phone for security reasons, others like Play Games for (supposedly) convenience, Clock for alarms and stuff like that, and then there's apps that sync - all messaging type apps (like Messenger, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Email, Gmail, ...).
There are ways to make them stop, like denying them the permission to run in the background, or using Greenify and using it to cut-off app wake-ups. But then... it probably won't be a very nice experience. For one, you wouldn't get messages on Messenger/Snapchat/etc until you open the app yourself. And also, opening those apps will become much slower.

i dont understand your reply. why openin automatically? i used before note 3 never nothing happens like that..
It must have been like this on the Note 3, as well, but you just didn't notice it. Because, as I said, it's always like that. In every Android phone. Apps open themselves because they have to. You can force stop them - some stay closed when you do that, some don't depending on what they do, and what their function is. You can use Greenify and make them actually stay closed, which I guarantee you will not like one bit.
My point is you're talking about a feature that's been there since ever, as if it were a problem. It's not. It's what makes your phone run smoothly, and shows you your messages as soon as someone sends them, and makes your alarms go off, and allows you to find your phone if it's lost, and the list goes on.
