I can't for the life of me find it though. I haven't installed any new apps recently that I didn't already have on my previous phone.

AT&T's OZ mesenger IM app uses SMS. Maybe a search will get you a cab?
Hey peeps, thought I'd drop off a thread and see whatchayall think. It's a startup cleaner program. Seems pretty decent and could be a good app for people like me who hate crap like fring running on autostart, etc. =P

Tried it, nice find.
Uninstalling market updates first is getting to be a pain!
This app works great! Stopped all sorts of apps from starting up! Good stuff, thanks!
**EDIT**
Only killed them once the phone was booted completely. Didn't do a logcat to verify this at first.
Haha, actually I noticed what it does is just kill the task that starts up. It doesn't PREVENT the task from starting though.

Should be something like startup auditor then. Actually preventing apps from starting up would require a rooted phone with the autostarts app.

Yeah, could there be a chance someone in the community would be able to mod the app to do so? Not sure if the dev is reading this here. Lol.

I think the dev is probably trying to cater to non rooted users as well lol. Not 100% sure of this, but stopping apps from starting up at all should require a rooted phone.

So when we root our phones we lose timescape, so whats a good substitute for it then? Cause to be honest that was kinda cool, I guess I took it for granted.
Also is there a way to get it back?

hey thanks for that, but i got it messed up.
Is there a good way to turn the phone into a smartwatch? Or is this too silly?
It's too silly.... :good:
Not if you have really big wrists
My wrist is big enough so it would not be absurd, silly yes, but not absurd. I'm more asking how one would turn the phone into a smartwatch

You wont find it in the store. Google Adguard. You have to download from their site.
only thing on the S6 that suffers from ads is the chrome browser.
i miss my adaway, but an easy workaround is to go to chrome settings and turn off JAVA.
This will kill 90 percent of the ads if not all, only draw back is some websites wont work properly.

Does adguard work as well as adaway? Does it block the annoying popup and banner ads inside of apps? I was using adblock plus with and without root on my previous phone(one m7) and it was just terrible.

It works, but not as good as the root ones.
oh god, I cannot live without adaway, it's just impossible. We badly need root.
I purchased the full version of AdGuard and lately though I have been getting disconnected when making calls. I disabled AdGuard and this problem went away.

Yeah I'm not feeling adguard. Geuss I'm just spoiled from having root for so long.

LMAO, just installed it and uninstalled it within a minute. Pure crap.
Just installed it. So far so good. Idk what the negative remarks are about yet.
What sites are you still getting ads on? They're gone here and Android authority.

Try sending a text message. Mine will not send with Adguard installed. I'm talking about the full version though, to block ads within apps as well as the browser. It doesn't work. They are trying to figure out why but no luck so far.

I noticed yesterday. I guess it works if you want to just browse, but it's limited to that.
