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.

Is there any negative aspects in terms of functionality if you deactivate apps like Hangouts, Movies, Wallet etc?
Does this affect the battery in any negative way? Does this create any weird wakelocks?
What are the pros in deactivating certain pre-installed apps and do they make a significant difference?

Do not deactivate Fused Location and Google App.
No, I was more thinking of Google apps such as Movies, Books, Hangouts etc.

Actually, if you are rooted, you can delete those apps without any side effects. As I allready mention: Do not delete Fused Location (phone won't boot anymore if you delete it), Google Play Services, Google app (if you use GNL, otherwise you can, Google+ (it will break integrated Photo app, if you do), Google Calendar (no substitute app can sync with Google, if you delete it).
Without any consequnce (of course if you don't need them) you can delete: BasicDreams, Calculator, Chrome, CloudPrint, Drive, FaceLock, Gmail, Google Play, GoogleCamera, Keep, LatinImeGoogle, Maps, NewsWeather, Street, Fit, Magazines, Music, PlayGames, Movies, YouTube, Earth, Hangouts, Books, SoundSearch, Wallet, Sheets, Slides, can't remember name of Word viewer, SimTool and some other services, but for now it's better for you to don't know which ones.
Yeah. Also Google gave as some bloatware. :laugh:
Yeah, I'm not rooted, never thought it was needed on the Nexus since stock is flying anyway and I don't use apps that require root and I don't flash custom roms. That was something I did and still do on my old SGS, so on that I used to delete everything that I didn't need.
But I wasn't sure how it works on a non-rooted phone, maybe deactivating a certain app, breaks something else.
Anyway, thanks for the replies.

Read and understand my post above: deleting or disabling - same effect on performance.
I did understand.
Google play services is vital to the phone. Nothing will work with out it. I've taken films books etc out
When you say you get rid of various unneeded Google Apps do you guys mean uninstall them or use titanium backup to freeze them?
(I'm rooted)
In my case (not rooted), just deactivating them in the app manager, but I guess the question is open to other ways as well.

Hi,
I am looking at installing Cyanogen on my Moto G XT1039. One of the reasons why is to reclaim resources used by unwanted Google apps, another is to get away from Google synchronising everything.
As I understand it, the Cyanogen ROM is essentially just the OS? I have seen reference to Gapps, which seems to add Google apps. Is it possible to pick & choose which Google apps to install? I want Maps & Play but not Newsstand, Music etc.
How can I find out what Google apps/services are essential (if any), or which ones are essential for things like Maps, speech recognition etc? For example, I have Calendar+, which I think just runs on Google Calendar, (although I didn't want this, I wanted a stand-alone calendar with no connection to Google's insidious synchronising etc)

Hi and welcome to XDA!
The rom comes with no gapps, not even google play services. If you install the pico gapps from opengapps.org you'll only get these:
Google system base, Google Play Store, Google Calendar Sync, and the following Play Store applications:
Google Package Installer (replaces stock/AOSP Package Installer)
Google Play services
Google Text-to-Speech
These are the only essential apps you need and you'll have to download everything else.
This seems like a pitifully ignorant question to ask, but I would like to ask advice about taking app updates.
I had to RMA one Shield tablet, on which I had immediately updated every app and installed the Marshmallow OTA.
With the replacement I just received, I am not in a hurry to enjoy my new device and looked at the apps pending update. 23 of the 26 have a significant percentage of negative reviews on the latest versions. I assume many will have added permissions, and most will take up more space due to feature changes, so I would appreciate any input regarding what I should update.
The apps pending update I have used in the past include - Chrome Browser, Clock, Gmail, Google, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Keyboard, Maps, YouTube
I'm not sure whether I might have a use for these. I haven't used them before - Android System WebView, Cloud Print, Google Play Newsstand, Google Street View, Google Talkback, Google Text-to Speech
I am fairly certain I will never have an interest or need in using - Google Japanese Input, Google Korean Input, Google Play Books, Google Play Movies and TV, Google Play Music, Google Shuyin Input, Google+, Hangouts
If I don't take an update, is there a way to bump this particular update off my update list to avoid future confusion as to what is new?
Thoughts, anyone?

For any of the apps you aren't interested in using, you should be able to "disable" them; this will stop them from running in the background and alerting for updates. To disable an app (only available for apps included in with the OS; otherwise simply uninstall the app); open Settings and tap Apps. Then select the app in question (like Google Play Books) and then tap disable. This should uninstall any previously applied updates (should not be any in your case) and move the app to a disabled state (never to bother you again). Then you should be able to apply updates to the remaining apps that you actually use.
HI,
Not sure if this the correct place to ask. However I have a Pixel 5 on order and given that this is only £100 more I was thinking i might cancel the PIxel 5.
However what I really like about the PIxels is that they have no bloatware on, facebook etc.
Can anyone say if there is much bloatware on this phone?
Cheers
This app list is from Xperia 1 ii but should be same for 5 ii. I have preorder anyway, its very easy uninstall through adb commands without root.

Thanks for the list. Doesn't look to bad.
What concerns me is do they have any tie up to Facebook apis like some of the new OS's
Thanks again
What about Facebook?
Ahh man, missed that....
I wonder how deeply embedded it is into the OS. I know that on Xiaomi the integration can't be removed/disabled.
On a side note I would pay extra so that I could have blank OS, similar to android one.

Facebook was also present, I could only disable the app.
Are there any disadvantages for disabling apps instead of uninstalling them ?

They basically do the same but uninstalling will free up the space they took
There is.
Received mine yesterday and I was shocked about the preinstalled Apps.
Facebook, LinkedIn AND Call of Duty, which I couldn't delete. Don't know if I could deactivate them but I deleted those apps with adb.
The Google Apps are no Bloatware and shouldn't be removed if You want a fully functional Smartphone. Buy a Huawei if You don't want that....
So at the End. Bloatware are Apps that are not from the OEM or the Owners of Android. Facebook, Amazon, Games, Netflix. You should wonder why this is pre-installed. And out of Developer View (winkywinky) is it just funny how You think that removing of the Main Apps with ADB would mean they aren't working anymore. There is a lot of background stuff working that You can't remove or disable without Bootloader Unlock (Another thing which speaks for a Huawei if You want that). Just Saying, You are on XDA...
