OK the title is self explanatory but lets go a bit further
I have two apps on my phone that I want to stop but primarily Facebook, I don't want them starting when the phone boots and I don't want them restarting on their own when I kill the process or stop the apps, I believe they have processes running that don't readily identify themselves as being associated with the apps so even if I kill/force stop the apps a short time later they just start up again.
I still want to be able to use the apps I choose so I don't want to uninstall or freeze them
The apps (for starters) are Facebook and ES file Explorer, I don't think ES FE is that bad and just stopping it from running on boot would be good enough but Facebook is an entirely different matter, it is extremely annoying.
Sometimes my phone heats up like it is doing a lot of work on something and when I kill facebook it all settles down

Greenify should do the trick.
There's also Boot manager (if you're rooted+xposed)

Greenfly does not achieve what I am trying to do, and boot manager does not stop facebook from loading, it is still there in my apps and running no matter what I do and if I force stop it and stop the process it is back there again later without rebooting
I suspect that facebook uses and app or process that is not readily identifiable as facebook by name and then this app or process then manages the actual facebook apps that you see running as facebook, to actually stop facebook you would need to identify this app or process to totally shut it down, so if I am right - does anyone know what this app or process is so that I can stop it and take control of facebook, I rarely use it and don't see why it needs to be running 24/7 spying on me
I am pretty sure someone on these forums know the answer

Any app that runs so forceably even when you try to stop it should not be on your phone.
It can be awoken by listening and reacting to any of the numerous intents on android. For example; the app could've been coded to wake up each time you open the camera/dialer/attempt to dial a number/connect to the internet and so on. Google Play Services operates in the same way.
Cutting off wake up paths in greenify should fix that. Or download 3C System Tuner and disable some of the triggering intents for the app.

ok I am going to assume you hae android and facebook app installed............if not then never mind because you have nothing to contribute
if you have the facebook app installed then go ahead and look at apps and processes and try to stop it from invading your phone............good luck with that ...please report back
I have since uninstalled facebook app and will access it through my browser if and when I need to
I worked in IT all my life and I don't like facebook, in fact I don't like seeing people with their faces buried in their phones 10 hours a day, there is something very wrong going on - I love and support technology but as some experts are now saying, it is now a serious health problem and I believe them............so what does facebook have to do with this..................well by far the biggest offender, so much so that it is scary
my advice to anyone with a mobile smartphone is to uninstall the facebook app and just access it through a browser, people need to realize that while you have all these devices and various accounts apps and cookies etc etc, everything you do on every device, everything you access - everywhere you go, everything you do is being monitored and recorded.................everything and I mean EVERYTHING
you think your life is private lol
anyway I couldn't find a way to shut the facebook app down..........so I uninstalled it, not sure that will even make a difference but it is gone, no more updates every 2 days - no more overheating as FB tries to upload stuff to some cloud somewhere without my permission................it is gone
sorry for the rant

Startup Manager would come in handy but it only works for 1 boot and you need to repeat each time you want to reboot
Out of curiousty isn't freezing it better than deleting it?
And yeah the browser version is better

I have a suggestion, but you might not get notifications when you have activity on Facebook. You won't know about any Facebook activity until you actually go and check it yourself.
Here is a workaround that doesn't even involve having Facebook or Facebook Messenger installed.
Use your favorite mobile browser(I recommend Puffin Browser or Firefox, Firefox requires some setup though, explained and linked below), go to Facebook in browser, login, have it save your login info in browser.
Then, open your browser settings and find the option to add the page to your homescreen as a shortcut. Open your Facebook settings in browser, find notification settings, set it to notify you of activity via text or via email, if you choose to notify via email, use the email that you are logged into your device with. Then, open your email app, go to its settings and set it to notify you when you get an email. This setup will save battery, save space because Facebook won't be installed, have less demand on CPU and mobile data. It will also allow you to still receive your Facebook notifications without having the app installed.
A workaround for managing your Facebook messages without having Messenger installed is as follows.
When you open the Facebook shortcut that you added to homescreen, open your browser menu, tap "request desktop site", when the page reloads you can then check your messages by tapping the messenger icon at the top of the Facebook page. If you try to check messages without requesting desktop site first, it will redirect you to install messenger. An alternative to this is to use Puffin Browser or Firefox(use this to set up Firefox in automatic desktop view) or use another browser that saves login info and automatically opens pages in desktop view, this will do everything for you without having to request desktop every time you open the page, just make sure that you create the homescreen shortcut using Puffin(or whatever other browser you use that has automatic desktop site) instead of your usual browser.
All of this requires no extra apps or disabling/hibernating/greenifying any apps.
This is the setup I use for the exact same reason that you're wanting to avoid.
Does this get you anywhere close to what you're looking for?

just a little more feedback on this for those that area interested
After removing facebook (uninstalling the app) the difference in quite extraordinary, yes I have an xperia Z1 which is a couple of years old but it still does everything I need it too, removing the facebook app has made my phone lightening quick, I also no longer have the every other day massive updates and I can still access facebook through my browser when I feel like it, looks just the same responds just the same but without the massive overhead
seriously - do yourself a favour and dump that facebook app................it turned into a monster and there is a very easy solution

I wish I could thank this post a dozen times. I tell people to get rid of facebook all the time. People come to this forum wondering why their battery usage is outrageous and why their device is so sluggish. Then you find out that they have Facebook and messenger installed along with Snapchat, Whatsapp, etc..
People just don't realize how much demand these social media apps put on the hardware.

*****EDIT 2/25/2011*****
VERY SORRY for the delay in editing this post and/or replying to the comments!
I have had some very serious family problems in the last couple months and during this, didn't renew the lease with the server i was renting. I am currently looking to buy a server (or share one with any other dev??) that i can use to run this App. It requires its own server due to the amount of requests it needs to keep thousands of users up to date with all their accounts and push messages to your devices.
I am EXTREMELY sorry that I had not been able to come on and post this, but in the last 24 hours I have received TONS of emails stating you're getting an error signing up. Thats because The server isnt responding anymore to requests, I apologize.
I will have this fixed hopefully soon and also incorporate many more social media outlets into the app that don't currently have push updates.
Again, SORRY for the delay in updating this. I hope to have a new Beta out soon.
Thanks!
*******End Edit******
Hey Guys..
This is our first post to XDA, and we are glad to be here.
We are a new Android development team, Atomic Pineapple. We wanted to let you guys know we have an app in Beta that brings push notifications for Facebook, and Twitter (this week for twitter) for ALL versions of Android. The app is called "Pushee"
Our plans are to grow the app into a full service push notification tool, including all the most used social platforms, FB, twitter, 4square, etc. We also have plans to bring push notifications for all POP3 email for non Gmail accounts as there is currently nothing for this. All these are in the works and will be integrated into pushee in the next few weeks.
If you want to get the Beta for Pushee just go to pushee(dot)atomicpineapple(dot)com and download it. Sorry we couldn't post a link because we are new users lol.
It will be out of Beta within a week or two and on the Market with a 7 Day Free Trial, and then for sale at 1.49.
Any comments on adding services to have notifications pushed are welcome!
Thanks!
Justin,
Atomic Pineapple.
I'm going to test it right now and it seems to be awesome !
I'm loving it so far. Few things..
1) Icon, I'm sure this will get changed soon. Just checking
2) When tapping on the notification for new items for Facebook, it wanted to open my browser. I would rather have it open my Facebook app. For example, when I see I have 2 new friend requests, I would like it to go to my Friends section of the Facebook app. Possible? =D
Also, do I have to add this to my task killer for it to monitor my Facebook?

Not sur but i think you must add this to your Task Killer
Waiting for the twitter option !
Looks great so far! One question, when we say "yes" when application asks for "exit?", are we gonna receive notifications?
And one addition, charset seems not "utf", or whatever (im new in android world), when we have non-english characters in the account name, it appears as a "□".
I just installed it, so im still waiting to see if i get a notification within 60 minutes (logged on gf's account and posted on one of my own comments)..
Bug/problem ->
Since i have an x10 mini pro, i have a small display - it is really hard to setup Pushee on this phone, as text is cluttered all over the screen, and email input is behind 'explanation text' etc.
Besides that, because of the MANY MANY permissions pushee needs, it was almost impossible (i got lucky) to press 'accept' to those permissions on facebook popup.
I've set facebook to 'never' update - i assume that is correct? As the Pushee servers will do the checking.
- If this app works & it enters the facebook app instead of the browser - then i'll definatly buy it - Even though 1.49$ seems like a bit much for a 'notification application'..
This app looked really promising.. but..
After a few hours, spamming myself with notifications and messages on facebook - I still didn't get any on the phone.
Installation/Configuration text is all messed up, and its hard to configure on an x10 mini pro.
Tried reinstalling - Cant create an account with the same email - Fair enough... But i cannot login to an existing account, the button simply doesn't work.
Sure this is a beta, and not alpha?
I've only just got the ChaCha so am unable to get a good impression of battery life yet, but does anyone know if the built in Facebook Chat widget/app uses the C2DM framework (like the official app, Beejive, IM+ and others) or does it simply constantly poll the network and drain battery?
The app seems really good and it would be a shame if I had to remember to log out all the time to avoid sucking the battery dry. I'm used to leaving Beejive running all the time as it has VERY little hit on battery.
Does anyone know anything about this?
Cheers.
You have to remember to log off all the time :/
It started to pissing me off not because of the battery drain but because wherever I am I seem like a facebook addict meaning that im constanly logged in FB chat
I'm thinking to uninstall the widget since facebook app has chat if i ever want to chat with FB friend (which is something i dont do often).
But yeah end of the line it seems to have push notifications and when you are on the pc and log in FB chat its turned on the cell phone too.
Want an option like to never go online automatically but only manual because its a nice widget from time to time.
I have problem with my s6. I dont know why its opening itself of random apps like email app not gmail, find my phone, google play games, voice recorder. I dont opened . I used when lock phone like messenger ,fb, snapchat, i closed the apps - closed all in recent app button. And thats weird when phone shutting down or power off, and when turned on i see apps opened by itself like clock, find my phone in settings which i dont run when it booted phone. Why my s6 doing like that? I tried factory reset and wipe cache. Dont help!!! Doesnt matter when power off or lock button still opened in recent apps random programs.
That's the way it's supposed to be. It's always like that, for everyone.
Some apps are supposed to stay open, for various reasons. Some like Find My Phone for security reasons, others like Play Games for (supposedly) convenience, Clock for alarms and stuff like that, and then there's apps that sync - all messaging type apps (like Messenger, Snapchat, Instagram, Facebook, Email, Gmail, ...).
There are ways to make them stop, like denying them the permission to run in the background, or using Greenify and using it to cut-off app wake-ups. But then... it probably won't be a very nice experience. For one, you wouldn't get messages on Messenger/Snapchat/etc until you open the app yourself. And also, opening those apps will become much slower.

i dont understand your reply. why openin automatically? i used before note 3 never nothing happens like that..
It must have been like this on the Note 3, as well, but you just didn't notice it. Because, as I said, it's always like that. In every Android phone. Apps open themselves because they have to. You can force stop them - some stay closed when you do that, some don't depending on what they do, and what their function is. You can use Greenify and make them actually stay closed, which I guarantee you will not like one bit.
My point is you're talking about a feature that's been there since ever, as if it were a problem. It's not. It's what makes your phone run smoothly, and shows you your messages as soon as someone sends them, and makes your alarms go off, and allows you to find your phone if it's lost, and the list goes on.
Facebook ads are getting more and more frustrating.
Basically, every 4th story is an ad.
Now, I'm not even a heavy Facebook user. I open it maybe 10-15 times per day. It still frustrates me.
I have tried AdBlock and am currently using adguard private DNS. They both killed most ads, but Facebook ads are resilient.
Is there a way to get rid of them or do I need to use a 3rd party app (I tried those before but I don't find them great).

I think the only way is unistalling Facebook itself, they're know for the great progress they bring on countering AdBlockers. Usually I would try to help you to modify the app in order to filter the ads layout but with Facebook it's way more complex, I don't think I can help you here .

That's unfortunate.
The 3rd party apps are very slow and not even closely as fluid as Facebook. Maybe it's because they integrate messenger in the Facebook app, but yeah, everything takes a second or two.
In that case, I'd rather have ads.

I use firefox with adblocker add-ons, then I put a shortcut from firefox to the Facebook webpage on my homescreen. This setup does not slow my device down like the Facebook app or messenger app. This setup requires setting facebook settings to email you when you get Facebook notifications and set gmail to notify you when you get an email, this allows me to still follow up to date activity. Another thing that is necessary with this setup is, if you want to check your Facebook messages, open firefox menu and select the "request desktop site" option, then you can check your messages.
With this setup, you retain your device perform with less lag and you can still view all Facebook activities and read your messages and receive Facebook notifications.

I have a strange device from Alibaba (Touchwo panel https://www.alibaba.com/product-det...a2756.order-detail-ta-ta-b.0.0.5d732fc2KN7LdB) that came with Android 11 and most components, including Play Services, but it doesn't seem to have come with the Calendar Storage component. I tried to get a random .apk and install that but it didn't work, and I have no idea where I would find one specific to this device. Is there any way to install the component or otherwise get calendar apps to work? I just need one that syncs with Google Calendar and that I can use as a widget.

I don't understand what you're asking. Using the calendar within a browser is not helpful to me, I want to place a widget on the home screen. Or, if you're asking me to open the built-in calendar app, that doesn't even open without Calendar Storage installed.

I asked the question in reference to the title of your thread, "How do I deal with a device that didn't come with Calendar Storage?"
If you are not satisfied with the help provided in the form of discussion, I can't help it.
Welp, then find Calendar Storage app, from some ROMs, this app is mostly same from ROM to ROM.
Find/use a free 3rd party calendar app. Find one that's ad free and allows for backup. Samsung's have one integrated into their ecosystem so I never pursued one. I try to avoid using Gookill products...
I can actually relate, i dont use Google apps too. like for one or two years, Disabling them gives large slice in privacy and productivity and battery life with memory as well.
(Its easy to find alternatives,)

A map app that doesn't need Gmaps running in the background be nice. Gmaps always runs at start up. Trashware and spyware.
I still use Gmail but manual sync only and Google play Services is temporarily disabled unless I use Gmail. Framework, backup Transport and Playstore disabled. A bunch of other Google trashware as well. At least a 15% boost in SOT and screen off time savings. Makes a huge difference on this stock N10+. Google is a mess and only getting worse... internet Krokodil.
Fortunately there are a lot of great 3rd party freeware apps especially if still running on Android 9. Google is making harder for developers as Android becomes more of a rotten Apple with each OS release. Google aka Spectre.

3rd-party apps use Calendar Storage as well. I do want something that at least integrates with Google Calendar because my job uses it. If you know of any that integrate with Google Calendar but don't use Calendar Storage, that would be great, because I wasn't able to find any.

I should have clarified, I would like something I can use as a widget. The device is going on my wall, not as a portable tablet.
