Hi, I've got root and xposed installed.
And already have installed amplify, greenify, no wakelock and bootstart manager.
But none of these was able to block an app from auto starting when phone is on.
Yea, it kills the app when you click on the greenifys shortcut, but I dont refer to that, I want an app which can disable the autorun service of the app.
Can anyone introduce a way or an app for that?
Thanks.

You mean an app like autostarts? Which alters the criteria to said apps??
Used to use it years ago but it's still available..
Not a task manager but an actual app that manages changes.

Not free but definitely worth a £1
Hope this helps..

currently, i'm using hotmail apps and espn fc apps.
the problem is, they keep auto start by themselves, is there any way to stop that?
thanks.
Use es task manager and disable the app you want in startup manager

I havent found a way to stop the hotmail app so I just uninstalled it. Its really annoying since I dont use push notification so why should it always be running.
You can use either Autostarts and Gemini App Manager to do that.

Autostarts is the better of the two IMO. ROM Manager also has the functionality built into it.

I feel you, man. I'm also annoyed with apps that just keep running in the background no matter what I do. In my case, these are apps like Facebook and Google Maps. What I do with them, since there are instances where I actually need them to, is just freeze them using Titanium Backup and then defrost them when I want or need to use them. It's a bit cumbersome but at least I can have the best of both worlds - use of the apps when I need them and said apps not using precious resources when I don't. < via xda app>

This is exactly what I do as well. I have them on my phone (because downloading when you need them is silly), but use TB and freeze them. You don't ever see them but they are there for when you need them. Weather apps, FB, Poweramp, etc. They are always running stealing RAM and battery.

A tip for both of you guys, if you don't know:
You can create a widget with Titanium Backup, select Titanium Backup (Actions), Action, scroll up a bit and select Freeze/Defrost/Launch an app. Select the app and choose Facebook or any other app you want to freeze.
What will this do? When you click the 1x1 widget, it will defrost the app and automagically launch it. When you exit and click it again, it will freeze the app. Reclicking it will defrost and launch and so on. Makes it much less cumbersome.

No problem!
Totally fell on it by accident myself, Titanium Backup really is a great app.
another app (requires root) is rom toolbox:

it also has an autostart manager!
WIth CM10 I can completely kill facebook and google maps by long pressing the back button. They dont automatically restart like they would if you just force stop them.

That's the same as going in the app details and Force stopping the app.
Doesn't stop Maps from restarting if you have location services enabled of just prefetcherservice feeling like it should be prefetching.
yea rom toolbox for me

Thanks for the tip, man. TiBu is indeed a very robust tool. It's the most worthwhile purchase I've ever made from the Play Store and I doubt I take advantage of half of what it can do. < via xda app>
Has someone compared LBE security master & ROM toolbox ? LBE inconvenient is that it is always on so...

Is there a way to stop an application without uninstalling it? I force stopped it but app is still draining battery somehow.
I will contact Endomondo, but since it's due to Android not stopping an app, I was going to post it here... Anybody has any errors with the same app?
Location is off.
Not sure how much help it would be.. But I think greenify app can help u.
If you have app ops installed disable the gps/ location permission

I think Greenify works without root also but with limited functionality. Don't have a non rooted device so not sure to what extent it works in a non rooted device.
Hey there,
For some bizarre reason Instagram & Facebook do not appear in the list of possible apps to hibernate. Does anyone have an idea of why I cannot add & hibernate these apps?
Many thanks,
Because both are system apps in S6 and you need donate version of greenify
Thanks! Working now with donate version. I should have figured that knowing that they were preinstalled as system apps.
Ty sir!

I think it also needs xposed to let Greenify donated doing this but S6 doesn't has xposed yet.

Yeah, seems like it. Don't know why donation is enough for some system apps, while other system apps also require xposed...
Could have just uninstalled them as system apps and reinstalled through app store boom works.
Donating is always good as well
Whenever I hit to hibernate, it always says there is nothing to hibernate. This was not the case before I factory reset. I can't even tell if greenify is doing anything. I'm not rooted. Any thoughts?

Few hours ago @explainAndroid posted article on xda main page onto how to use android's hidden RUN_IN_BACKGROUND permission to restrict app's background behavior. I made an app for that.
Here's link to original article: https://www.xda-developers.com/freeze-app-background-processes-without-root-android-nougat/
Here's link to app's github: https://github.com/MrBIMC/RunInBackgroundPermissionSetter
Here's link to reddit thread about app: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/co...en_run_in_background/?st=j570s1rf&sh=675cc4d6
Here's link to xda labs: https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.pavelsikun.runinbackgroundpermissionsetter
Omg it created multiple threads. Sorry. Trying to remove duplicates now.
Submit this to XDA Labs as well! Don't worry about a crappy icon or whatever. I've made apps in Tasker and have posted them to Labs hehe. As long as people find it useful feel free to submit!
@MrBIMC
Thanks for the app!!
Is possible add hours of the days of week when selected apps run or doent run in background?

Nice app!
Will charging disable this?
Can u make the app work without rooting, just using adb, where the permission through adb for this app is granted once and then it can be used to limit background permission of other apps
excellent mate.
we should post a tutorial... not everyone will understand the potential ramifications of disabling everything
I will try to test this out! Though, I kinda like the old icon compared to the new one, it seems like it's not properly cropped. Additionally, could you add an option to show system and user apps only? Maybe a toggle to ignore apps all at once or vice versa too?
No chance for Marshmallow?
Does this have the same functionality as in lineage os ROMs app ops where you can disable background processes?
As someone is undoubtedly going to ask it, I'll ask it for them. How does this differentiate to apps like greenify @MrBIMC? Do they both limit background processes? Anyways, the all looks very interesting, thanks!
This looks great!
Do the settings stick after reboot?

No.
From the Github page:
Anyway, this app is for those who don't want to mess with adb shell and input commands manually and prefer to just click on app name to enable/disable it from running in the background. Sadly, android apps are not allowed to implicitly edit permissions of other apps, so this application requires root to overcome it.

This would be really cool. Best way to implement that I think would be to add Tasker plugin functionality to the app to allow Tasker flows to toggle the permission, which would have the benefit of being able to change it for any reason (such as low battery).

If I understand both correctly... Greenify forces apps to hibernate when you turn your screen off (or manually tell it to), but the app can still wake itself back up for a variety of reasons, such as receiving push notifications, location updates, or any other unnecessary reason like Facebook, lol. This app overrides a hidden permission in Android 7+ that tells the system to not allow the app to run in the background, which means it will not be able to wake itself up.

Am Developer. Can confirm, toggle "limit background activity" in LOS14 is the same as this app. At least that's what reddit tells me as I haven't checked myself.
Wow. Looks promising. I was too lazy to run ADB manually xD
So lets see if I can screw something up with disabling almost everything

I actually tried Brevent for the first time a few weeks ago. According to the app itself, aside from not requiring root, it's supposed to monitor when you hit the back button or remove an app from recents, and then actually kill the app process when you do, despite if the app has some background process that it intended to keep running. Basically lets you manually control when an app is killed in a quick and intuitive way, but for me personally, it didn't seem to work as expected for some reason; background processes seemed to keep running after.
Also Brevent, being a non-root solution requires you to connect the device to a PC and run some ADB commands to give it permission every time you reboot. It has an experimental root mode that doesn't require this.
On my note 9 I had a fantastic app that would let me disable specific services, broadcast receivers, activities or the entire app.
I can't remember what it was called but it's definitely not package disabler pro.
Also this app didn't require adb or root.
Any help would be appreciated.

Unfortunately not.
The UI was very simple. White background like package disabler but when you clicked it app it would show tabs for each section (services receivers etc) and you could individually disable parts of the app without disabling the app itself.
I feel like an idiot for not backing it up. I found it like a week before I switched to a note 10+
Well I found the app but it doesn't do what I need anymore because the dev was "sick of dealing with Samsung".
It was ccswe. Do does anyone know an alternative that can disable broadcast receivers, services etc without root? I know it's possible and there must be a working app out there.
