Change apps sequence on boot - General Questions and Answers

Hi, I'm looking for change the sequence on boot.
I'd like to load an app before of Whatsapp and I tried Autostart but this app only open an app after another app but the notifies you get through Whatsapp are immediate and before the other app (Foldermount).
I installed Tasker but I don't know how can I use that.
Do you know how can I solve my problem?

A way to *prevent* some apps from running at startup? (not killing nessiarily)

hi, I have been reviewing various bootup type apps (autorun manager, startup manager [no ICS support?], etc) to try to find one that just prevents an app from loading (until i need it and start it manually of course) as opposed to killing the app when it tries to load during boot (which, i seems to be what many of these autorun kinda apps do).
So i was wondering if there is an app that prevents selected apps from starting at bootup. Any ideas would be appreciated!
Cheers,

Look up vault apk root. In google. It freezes apps fully. Its not in the play store. And doesn't work on ics

Check out System tuner in the play store. I have the paid pro version and it allows me to disable apps on startup, not sure if its in the free version. But if you can, buy it, it has tons of options and is a fantastic app.

I use autorun manager, romtoolbox by jrummy has it too as does Gemini app manager
Try to use ES File Manager. It's free and lots of functionality.
Agree with imppy, has worked a treat for me. Requires root.
Check out "Autostarts"

ROM Toolbox Lite
Auto Start Manager
Control apps that run on start-up by enabling or disabling them. Enable or disable any broadcast receiver for any app.
So, you can disable an app's startup at boot and then enable it whenever you want. Persistent across reboots.
Not like freezing, unfreezing, and then having to start the app. And then repeating before each reboot.
Autostarts looked good enough for me to buy it, question to those of you using it; How much can you disable? Has there been any crashes or issues that seem tied to this? If i disabled all of the autostarts would my phone still be fine or would it seriously mess with things

Some apps are mantatory for system's good health, so be carefull what you are disabling.
In general, you can disable from autostart, every non system application...
Most apps I tried simply disable the "on boot completed" trigger, but that's not always enough.
Many apps bypass the boot trigger by autostarting on other events which happen when you boot your phone, like activating data or WiFi, mounting your SD card, etc. Some apps autorun "on time tick," which happens every minute.
Gemini App Manager has more autostart toggles than anything else I tried. ROM Toolbox Lite is a good runner-up.

[Q] Cyanogenmod 10 using Gemini app problem

Just got Cyanogenmod 10 on my tab and love it. But got a few problems i need to figure out. I still have a problem with apps auto-starting and have used Gemini-app to stop this. But now with the new Cyanogenmood it says that i need to enable USB-debugging. But this option is not possible on my tab. I see the options in settings but they are grey and there is no way to check any box.
Anybody have the same problem???
Ps: Also have problem with youtube-app crashing and a weird thing with XDA site when i start a page here sometimes my utorent-client starts to run.
Im not on the same tab as you but I use Startup manager to kill unwanted apps from starting. Never had any issues with it , free as well.
Startup Manager - Clean up your android system from system startup!
Startup Manager aims at helping disable/enable startup items from system boot for Android devices including smartphones and tablets. To disable an item from system startup, uncheck the application from the list (recheck to restore and it will start again). For other item that do not start with system boot, please use “Customize” to add and enable it to start with system boot.

Try to see the on/off switch in the most up right of screen to enable setting change
About youtube, try delete cash, delete dalvik cash and fix permissions in cwm (no factory reset) if not, so try reflashing gapps again for then try to update youtube via market
If not so try app like tubemate (search google not google play), it is alternative to youtube and allow recording also
Regarding xda try another torrent client or delete cash of xda app and torrent client from setting/apps

Hey, I recently installed AdAway too and noticed my #Animania stopped working as well err... to be precise- it no longer downloads nor plays any videos I wish to watch. I tried to play around with the settings and this seem to have worked:
Open AdAway and select "Your Lists"
Goto White
and Add the following:
play44.net
video44.net
videofun.me
Animania seem to have worked but I'm not sure if it's just my connection - downloading or streaming online is slower than usual

But how did u find this?
Thanks a bunch!
Why can't so called experts like dinowhatever just give a sensible answer instead of taking the mick?
'lol'!!! If we knew we wouldn't be asking!
Frustrated Adaway user who has just found it is blocking most of the sites I use!
Solved: Adaway Whitelist
Ok this is how to solve this problem for any app. First turn off the Adaway blocking and reboot the phone. Then go back into Adaway but don't turn on the blocking. Instead tap the dots on the top right and select "Log DNS Requests". Now on this new screen you will see "logging is off" (or something like that) tap that and it will change to "logging turned on" nnow tap "open the log". It should be blank. Now select your recent apps button and scroll to the app you have been having problems with. Run the app to the point that you know it is working. Now go back to Adaway and open the log. You should see a bunch of websites. Long press on the first one and in the popup select "Add to whitelist". Do this for all the addresses. Now turn on Adaway blocking on its main screen and reboot. You should now have a working app and Adaway keeping adds out of the other apps. :good:
AdAway broke the app.
I went in app manager, cleared cache, Force stopped and uninstalled AdAway.
Did the same for the music download app.
Rebooted into recovery, cleared Dalvik and cache in recovery. Rebooted the phone. Reinstalled the download app, and it's still rendered useless.
The only thing that fixes it is to do a complete reinstall of the operating system and apps. before turning on AdAway. (which is what I did...)
I did the above-stated suggestion and it worked until AdAway updated host files again. Now the app is rendered useless again.
Is there any way to remove AdAway cache in root file system? Uninstalling the app doesn't remove these files.
Thanks in advance for any help

Blaze...you don't need to do all that. Just delete your hosts file.

Wow thanks so much for this! I've been having issues with one app for months now and though it might be adaway causing it.

Identify system apps

Hello all,
I have a very long list of app packages (about 10k long), I would like to identify whether an app is a system app in some android phone.
I tried to use the google-play API to look for them in the market, but I saw that there are system application that are available on the market.
Does anyone have an idea of how can I do it?
Any help will be appreciated,
Thank you
