Everytime I look at my battery monitor 'GSam Pro' it shows apps that are running and eating my battery life in particular 'Poynt' which I don't use everyday but it is always running, I've used 'Advanced Task Killer Pro' and killed many processes but 'Poynt' does not show up in tasks to be killed and even in my 'System Tuner Pro' it does not show up so my question is how to KILL it? When I go into my apps and look at 'Poynt' I do have the option to 'Force Close' it but it always has a pop up saying 'May Cause App to Perform Badly', what to do and how to kill apps such as this that are obviously eating my battery and I'm also using 'DS Battery Pro' to monitor my phone?
You can force close. The worst is you will have to enjoy. You might want to root. The other option is to disable the app in Application Manager. Private message me if you need help.

Is there any way to disable the pedometer? I would not use this feature and am thinking it will save battery if it is disabled.

You can start/pause it. As long as it's paused it's not going to keep track of steps. Also noticed that having minimum background running apps will increase life by a lot. It was like draining last night and closed all apps and now lasting 2x longer haha Maybe that was just me.

Thanks. How do I set a minimum number of background apps?

I think he was. I was referring to the gear(long press/2 fingers on the watch). That's what I thought you meant, in order to save battery on the watch, don't have a lot of things running in the background(on the watch).

Hey guys sorry, Yeah referring to apps running on gear not phone. You can long press it or set up the double click to open recent apps to close.
This is more of a proof of concept that might be useful to lock the screen.
Does not require root.
HTC's framework detects gestures while the screen is on, this is actually broadcasted to all applications, but the only app that reacts to it is HTC's Media Output (Three finger swipe up or left-right).
This app is both an implementation that reacts to a three finger click to lock the screen, and a dev concept that shows how to react to the gestures.
If you want to use this to lock the phone, just tap with three fingers anywhere after enabling device admin.

More dev stuff:
If anyone is interested where this happens, it's in services.odex's com.htc.server.gesture package.
This is one of the best hacks I've used for the m8 so far ... Very simple yet tasty ?
Thanks..and keep up the good work

Thank you so much. This is an awesome feature add. The Media gesture is something that I have no use for and didn't want to change my kernel in order for this to work. I'm seeing how long I can go without rooting my phone. This will definitely prolong my challenge. ?

Look, I respect that you are a Dev and have done good work. But what I said is not BS. I have been having bad batt drain for a few weeks. Couldn't figure it out. I uninstalled this and poof, no more batt drain. So how is that BS?

For some reason I can't get this to work for me. I have 3 finger media gesture enabled. Is there anything else I'm supposed to do???

The app is simply a listener, it does not enable anything, in fact, if a three finger gesture is not detected by the system, as far as the system is concerned, the app does not exist (it does not take CPU cycles, or memory, or any resources besides storage for the APK).
Therefore, it's technically impossible for it to cause any battery drain. I have no idea what happened on your phone, but it's likely a coincidence.
With that said, my reply was a bit rude, so apologies for that.

You'll need to enable the app as a Device Policy Manager. You have to open the app once for Android to confirm it wasn't maliciously installed.

SHARING THE APP, ALL CREDITS GO TO TWEAKERS AND OPTIMIZERS ON GOOGLE PLAY, ANY ISSUES, PLEASE WRITE THEM IN THE PLAY PAGE OF THE APP LINKED DOWN BELOW.
FIX SYSTEM CONTROL ON DECREASED BRIGHTNESS TO PREVENT HEAT
The below issue is only present on lg custom roms from 4.2 and up, thermel controls the brightness to low it down to prevent heat, this app patches the thermal to remove some vlaues.
Some advanced users use the dialler to go to the hidden menu to disable the thermal, this app is very useful for simple and fast, also to tablets with no dialler.
Hey every one,
Today, I'm going to present to you an easy way to disable the auto lowering the brightness when in 100%, and make it sit for life-long...
It's an easy way...
I HAVE NOT DEVELOPED THAT APP!!!
Its BTW already there, but i want to share it with you guys!!
Q: What is it? A: its an app called "LGBrightnessPatcher"
Q: What it does? A: it restrict the system from getting brightness decreased, when slight heat.
Q: Require root? A: of course!
Q: Does it glue the brightness to 100%? A: No, you can adjust it from the brightness slider bar...
The app patches the brightness watcher and preventing it from changing the value when the screen gets 100% after an amount of time to let the device cool down, and not to get heat...
Other than that, the patching process would not take longer than 10 seconds!! and its totally safe!! i tested it myself!!
Instructions:
1. Root your device.
2. Install the app from the links down below.
3. Give root permission grant.
4. Touch on apply permanent patch.
5. Wait 5 seconds, got a toast massage?
6. Reboot.
7. Enjoy 100% brightness without limiting!!
Before download, let me thank the developer of the app, Tweakers and Optimizers who make that app possible!!
Its an genus app BTW!!!
Links, why? you'll find it in play store: LGBrightnessPatcher
Have a good day everyone! and get your G3 brighter, i mean stick at 100% all the time...
FEEDBACK guys, i tested it in LG G PAD V500, in stock 4.2.2 and 4.4.2, hope will work for the G3...
Press thank, rate...
15/04/2015: Looks like some folks have troubles installing the patch correctly, to fix the problem install busybox from play store.

Is there a way to uninstall apps such as Instagram without root or better yet to root without triggering knox to not allow me to use samsung pay. I want to install these apps through the app store since then I am able to set smart manager to optimize them and close them in the background when not in use.
Unfortunately, no. There is no way to actually uninstall bloatware without root, and from what I understand, there's no way to root without tripping KNOX since root requires a modified kernel.
You can disable them though

This will do exactly what you're looking to do. Root is not required, it does not trip Knox, and you can disable ANY app. But be careful. Disable the wrong thing(s) and you may negatively affect performance.

You won't get any space back in the user partition even if you do uninstall system apps, because they reside in the system partition.

+1. System apps are in the system partition and therefore deleting them won't give you any storage back. Honestly, in this case there's really no difference between disabling and uninstalling, I just forgot all about package disabler pro.

Ah true that. His whole point was wanting to optimize them though, which essentially means if they go unused, that they'll be hibernated, which is almost the same thing as disabling them.

I dunno I wouldn't call optimizing and disabling the same thing. One you simply have to open to resume normal function. The other you have to disable, then re-enable when you want to use it, and then disable again...

Yeah you're right. I was just comparing them since a hiberbated app and a disabled app still basically do the same thing, which is absolutely nothing.
I wouldn't worry about attempting to move to userdata in order to optimize the apps. With the long list of apps I froze using Package Disabler Pro, my battery life improved at least 10-15%. Now on the new update yesterday, it's borderline insane how much better my battery is lasting. And nothing has been optimized yet since the default period is 3 days and we haven't reached 72 hours post-update yet.

Sure. But if you use it on a regular basis, it won't be optimized anyway. The app has to sit idle before anything happens.

I think we are speaking on semantics. Frankly we don't know how he uses his phone. For instance I check my Instagram maybe 3 or 4 times a day. Far too often for me to be enabling/disabling apps just to check my feed.

Absolutely true.
The way I see it, we're all just offering alternatives since he does not want to root and/or lose Samsung Pay.
"Disabled in background when not in use" tells me he wants them there when he needs them but he doesn't really need them cranking down data or cycles on the cpu when he isn't using them. How well the optimization works or doesn't is neither here nor there.
Not to mention disabling and optimizing are two different things and not really an answer to the ops question.
Frankly without root I don't think what he is trying to accomplish will work.
My question is why do you think optimization won't work on system apps?
