Anyone know of an app that will allow a long press on the back button to kill a app?
The apps available in the play store don't work on s8+.
I need this too
Anyone?
I wonder if you could write a Tasker script to accomplish, or perhaps with all the Android users in the world, there may already be a script?

I am in desperate need of an app with a certain function; the ability to choose specific apps/games where you are not to be disturbed while the app/game is running. There's nothing more frustrating than if you're in the middle of a game or a download and a text/phone call comes through and screws up everything. I know with my old Blackberry, I had an app to do just this and it was awesome. I know there are apps where you can choose certain days/times not to be disturbed but not specific apps. It's kind of a hassle to open an app, set it to "Do not disturb" play your game and then remember to go back and undo the Do Not Disturb.
Anyone interested in taking on this task?
Why don't you just use the airplane mode? So you won't recib any sms or calls...its just an idea...
Or search for an app calls automate it!...I think you can trigger actions by time...

tasker can do that on a per app or collective basis
I've read that it's not necessary to use a task manager and kill processes/programmes as Android manages itself fine.
But what about sliding out the recent apps list? What does it do and is it good/bad doing it?
Don't know if it matters but I've got Android 4.4.4.

The recent apps is a way of multitasking on Android devices, this new feature was introduced in Honeycomb and was later improved in newer Android versions.
The purpose of this said feature as said before is to help a user multitask. So if you're browsing the internet and have a specific page up. A minute or so later you get a message so you open the messaging app and make a reply. But now you want to go back to the same app you were one earlier without having to restart, reload or wait for the content to appear.
When sliding a specific app (task) from the recent apps menu, you're basically killing the app. (Removing it from the multitasking menu, it reduces ram consumption as the process for that app has now been shut down or limited. For example if you kill a messaging app, it runs a background service so you can receive messages. When you have the app open or running in the background it opens a new process, when you slide the app away you're removing the background process for it but you're not disabling the server process. (So you will still get messages).
In short form, when you slide an app away from the recent menu, you're killing the apps process. This is good when you don't need or you are not using the app. So if you have you don't need to multitask with a specific app, remove it from the menu and it'll restore ram so it speeds up your device.
Hopefully I helped, if there was something you didn't quite understand. Let me know and I'll try and explain it furthermore.

Everything clear, thanks!
This is more of an annoyance than anything else, but when I start the mighty 12.2 ( I'm rooted and running the debloated ROM ) the Samsung Music app always comes up as running in the background. Being a power saving geek, I go turn it off, and move on with my day but it would be nice to just not have it run at start up. It is not listing in the xPosed module Bootmanager, and I don't know another way to kill it off from auto starting. Is this some essential core app I should just leave alone or is there another way of preventing it's auto run? thanks!
I'm a Google music user so what I did was freeze the music service in titanium backup. Problem solved for me. Unless you need it, freeze it.

Thank you for the quick reply, much appreciated
Glad to know it's not just mine, then. Saves me the trouble of doing a reset.
if you use it, check out an app called AutoStart Check.. it allows you to sort by either process/permission (Like when starts, when x launches, etc) or you can sort by app and see each autostart process per app and you can kill each specific one.. like you can go in and just disable the autostart on start up and then leave the rest so if you want that process to start when it does, then your set, or disable them all and it only starts when you physically launch the app.. ive been using it for a while and love the app.. helps keep stuff i dont want running when i dont want them..

I grabbed the demo version from the store, but it doesnt seem to fully launch... it does say "Designed for phones" so maybe thats the issue?
Hello,
I'm interested in getting this coded but would first like to know if the idea is even possible and if so if it will require root or not.
Basically I'd need an app that would be able to communicate with a website running WHMCS. The person would have an account there and login through the app. The app would then scrape login information in this format usernameassword and then somehow interact with Netflix, Hulu or Sling (maybe editing there system files?).
That's basically the idea, you'd open the app, press a button, lets say for Netflix, once you press the button it would edit the login files and then launch the app in question, in this instance it'd be Netflix.
So, is it possible for a 3rd party app to be able to edit login files of other apps and then launch said app? And if so would it require root access?
I have a crazy question. This is for a very unique use case (long story).
And here's the crazy part -- it needs to work for Android 4.2.2.
I'm trying to figure out how to uninstall apps programmatically without the user having to confirm each uninstall.
The idea is that the user would select from a list of apps they want to uninstall, then click a button when they're ready and all of those apps would uninstall without bothering the user with a confirmation dialog for each app.
Is this possible? I trying to do this in Xamarin, but any guidance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks,
It's a lot to explain. For one thing, the app needs other features.
It's for a unique use case since these are single-purpose devices.
