come on, check the main thread.

0.8.2b is released

0.9b is out, go get it

Thank you for the app.
I have a few suggestions:
-Presets are applied automatically without having to press apply. This is an inconvenient way to see what the settings are.
-The statistics should be uploaded before app exit when settings are finalized as opposed to each time a setting is applied. (When switching through presets this is a double whammy)
-When the keyboard is flipped on the G1 it resets, settings are applied, and the Start up dialog is displayed.
I have v .09
Keep up the good work!

This software is really a godsend. I've never bothered with most of the "Task Killer" programs for exactly the reason AutoKiller was created: Android already has a way to manage memory.
Never occurred to me that the parameters were adjustable though, so thanks for thinking of it and making a useful utility!

Can we exclude apps from being killed, such as the Alarm Clock, etc? Super important for those of us that want to keep out jobs

Clock shouldn't be killed by this automatic killer.
It should be one of the most important tasks on android.

I would like to know too. It keeps killing the email app. Hence I never got any email notifications after a while

I would imagine that the idea of "excluding" apps fro this doesn't make any sense or is even feasible, since it isn't artificially killing apps, rather it is adjusting when Android kills apps, I guess you could add some sort of "keep in memory" option like most new launcher apps have but I doubt the efficacy of those options nor do I know if they can be set via an outside app or whether that must be coded into the app itself...

If its killing off apps you need and use frequently, it sounds like you should lower your presets a notch or two. ie. Optimal instead of Strict

Or let Android do it for you.....

I'll hedge my bets on the Google engineers..

Thats fine, you do that. Some of us like that we can do as we wish with our phones to make them even faster.
Why would you even bother posting? Maybe iPhone is the device for you if you like things handed to you and you just take it? ;-)

Don't pick on the poor guy. I mean, come on-- he has like one of the only unrooted nexus one's in existence. That obviously makes him special in the shortbus sort of way and you simply cannot make fun of special people.
Oh, and I love autokiller. Keep up the good work, Ratson!

Yep, some people have real work to do with their phone, not install random things on it.. So far my "need to root" list is pretty short.
Shortbus.. Not even going to bother on that one.

I forgot, you're too busy trolling and making blackmoor uglier. If you don't like the guy's work, then gtfo because apparently several things are shorter than your list of reasons to root like your imagination, charm, and the micro mini between your legs that causes you to tear down legitimate work that apparently you don't understand. Google didn't engineer a one size fits all solution-- they created an ingenious flexible, scalable open source platform that could be modified into a near infinite combination of solutions to fit any need based on the requirements of oem, carrier, and the hardware itself.

Can we get back on the topic?, which is the app. not who like what how.
Please do not flame each other.
No personal attacks on anyone will be tolerated here at XDA. Please read the Rules.

So please lets concentrate on the application and not it's users' choices/preferances.
I hope all of you comply.

Does devices need be rooted to use this app ?

anyone knows how to exclude the alarmclock from the killing? I need it to wake me up.....

Um then dont give it permission. Dont download apps that request all sorts of stupid permissions. Dont download apps that exist on microtransactions.

Permissions
I always check what permissions an app wants when I am downloading it, dont see why a game needs full access to my calls and messages. Having said that I have had a few games try and get root permissions, very dodgey.

LBE Privacy FTW.
I never understood why a live wallpaper would need access to my call log and be able to send SMS, so I never downloaded them. Now, I just block permissions on an individual basis when the app is installed.
Again.... LBE Privacy FTW.

This information is trustworthy and very helpful.
Thanks for sharing it here. It is very important that everybody knows what really is going on.
At least everyone will know how to adjust.

Awesome app! Read about it on either androidpolice.com or goodandevo.net. I can now download apps I would not normally and just block the permissions I don't like. (Ebuddy messenger asking for gps location)

Thanks for useful info

Why doesn't Google just monitor the market at the first place?

Good post!
Regarding permissions - note that sometimes a free applications requires "strange" permissions that seems irrelevant to the actual app, for it's monetization solutions (in app ads, registration etc.) Usually the dev explains it in the description, so always good to read

agreed. The permissions apps are asking for lately are getting out of hand. I'm always really careful when updating or installing a new app.

thank for info

OMG this is harmful. Does any Android-form Anti virus scan this ?

I don't think anything ever came of that particular issue, or at least wasn't common in the wild. But it's almost on a weekly basis now that you do hear about malware in the wild. It's not that widespread yet, but it has the potential to be.
As always the best defence is common sense. Don't install apps from untrusted sources, read the comments and ratings, and always check the permissions before installing. If you install warez that borks yours device, you have it coming!

But some of them change when messages/calls have been received and as such need to access them in order to work.

I shall certainly be more careful in the future.
Thanks for the heads-up.

yes but
good advice but...generally you just download and bang.
better install anti-virus like LOOKOUT.

Any way to disable front camera?

Is there any way to disable the facing camera?
Any toogle switch for that as Xposed module or App?

Why do you want to disable it?

Why?

Why do you need to disable it you can just simply don't use it.

Because i want to?! Actually no need to explain why.
I want it!.....if possible.
But ok.....I feel uncomfortable if a camera always watches me
It is like on my Laptop. I have disabled it in the Hardware Settings. If i need it i'll enable it.
And don't tell me you've never heard about webcam fraud.

I want the moderator to ban me.

Just stick a black piece of tape into it.
Or disassemble the phone and put the tape behind the glass.
You're gonna regret it, Snapchat is the new trend...

In the case that i really wanna use it it would be too complicated.
I was also thinkin about that.....Till now i have no use of Snapchat.
And i think that will last for a while. I am not the Hardcore chatter.

I'd use a black marker - maybe even a permanent one, if you wish.

Also an idea. But still i would prefere a software based solution if possible.

If software can disable the camera then software can enable to camera. If there is a way to disable the camera with software then a good hack can enable the camera.

Google might be buddies with the NSA but I highly doubt the front camera is watching you
Besides, I'd be more worried about them secretly tracking you using GPS, Wifi or cell tower triangulation

Not if you do not have administration rights and can handle this somehow in that way. Damit i'm rooted.
But switch as a widget or something can show if it is active or something.

I know i can't be 100% save. And it also not only against google.
It is also against all the other Apps which want your contacts and all other data which they want but which is not nesessary for an App to work.
I'm already restricting a lot with XPrivacy.
And from the Aluminuim Helmet i am still far away
But the useless collection of data annoys me.
Actually i have nothing to hide.
But i do it out of protest. And because i do not need most of the features which track me, give me advertising and other Bull****. I like it minimal (maybe i should buy not a smartphone, but without that i cant be on XDA ^^)
But it is not you who decides if you have something to hide or not. I even do not use Payback cards

I do actually agree with you
I also hate how we're treated as "products" by companies these days.... Facebook, Google, you name it. They exist to monetise their users and their personal information.
Like you I block a lot of apps from accessing my data and location etc... but I think you're out of luck with the camera other than using some tape!

The price for "Everything is Free" mentality. I even do not have a paid choice in this case ^^
And often i can not live without them anymore. Too used to these damn things. The strategy worked.
But i closed down my Gmail account. Now i use a russian provider:laugh::laugh::laugh:
And we are not treated as products. In the view of Google, Facebook and so on we are products.
Every product has some kind of properties. These properties are used to make personalized advertisement
So they want to sell me things which i never bought till now. For me this PA thing never worked. Ok i'm trying to avoid it is far as possible

I think it is coming up too often and staying there. I'm in Google Messages and I use the camera option to send someone a picture right through there, I get the alert comes up that Messages is using my camera. Now it stays up there anytime I go back into Messages (unless I force close it).

I know this is an older thread but I just wanted to see if there is any way around this. I appreciate the sentiment and like that it's on by default but to be completely unable to disable it on a per app basis seems a bit of an overstep. Yet another example of Google (perhaps OnePlus is partly to blame here too) not trusting users to be intelligent enough to make decisions regarding their privacy.
As for the quoted answer, it may have been possible at one point but now when you navigate to Settings>Apps & Notification>Show All Applications>Show system>System>Notifications, "Privacy Alerts" is greyed out and cannot be modified.
Again, I'm generally for this measure but it's popping up while I'm using projectM music visualizer which obviously detracts from the experience.
Any help/insight is greatly appreciated!

Question How can I stop battery drain on "screen off"?

I'm happy with the battery performance, but only when the screen is on. When I use the phone mostly with the screen on, I get good SOT(6-9 hours), but with the screen off, the battery consumption is terrible. How can I pull this down?

Probably a cloud app; try temporarily disabling Google play Services, Google backup is a dependency as is Playstore, Gmail. Some apps also need it to run. I enable it once or twice a day. Disabled saves 1+%@hr.
Trashware social media apps like fb, WhatsApp etc shouldn't be installed. It all adds up.
6 hours SOT with a 5002 mAh battery isn't good, 9 hrs is fair to poor. That said all Samsung's should be optimized for best performance.

Thanks for your opininon. Are you saying we shouldn't use Whatsapp? Is it real solution?

Unfortunately, because of SD 8 gen 1 limitations (probably worse on Exynos variant), about 6-7 hours SOT is best you're going to get on the S22 ultra.
Try the following guide here & see if it helps your battery life.

I have the Exynos version. My phone has a SOT of about 10 to 12 hours. Rooted and bebloated. I do have the brightness very low though.
Android 13.
OneUI 5.
Latest.
Lightly debloated.

That's interesting. I guess depends on what apps the phone is using during SOT.......
Mind sharing your battery usage breakdown screenshot?

Real as it gets. All social media apps should never be installed. Many should even be logged on to. WhatsApp track record is stunningly bad.
Lots of users means its got a huge bullseye on it even if they try to secure it, it will hacked again like the sun rises in the morning... for sure. Meanwhile phishing scams run under the radar and count on you screwing up. And many do.
You got to ask yourself one question,

No really. The problem is that all the apps developed by Meta (Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp) are power hogs. Meta does not care if it chews up battery. The primary reason is that Meta is shoving ads in your face. Even when your screen is off, those apps are running in the background. Meta is not the only offender. There are plenty of other app developers that do the same thing.
Also, there are different "flavors" of Android. Each OEM implements it differently (even within the OEMs). This makes it less cost effective to customize their apps for each OEM. There is only one flavor of iOS and iPadOS, so it is much easier to tweak it for iPhones and iPads than it is for Android devices.

I understand. Thanks. I have another question. You said you turned off google play services. When I turn it off, notifications do not work and many applications do not work. How do you overcome this situation?

It doesn't effect any notifications for me that I use except Gmail. Most my apps run without it. I tend to shun those that do.
Some of the Samsung apps take the place of Google apps, no need to run both.
If killing Google play Services helps at night it's likely Google backup Transport running.

Hello, I have something to ask about. I need to know if there is any ability to store a system application variables usin adb. Imagine that I want to open my settings app and do something mabye a confirmation dialog will be shown in order to say something such as alert for something supposed that I did click on OK, i the normal case this alert will never be shown even if you clear the settings app data or clear the cash, is there any way to use adb to store the settings app data before opening it the if anything as the previous senario happened I can restore the settings app to the moment before clicking on the OK button or even before this alert has shown

Many apps that "need" Google play Services are Playstore pay apps. This can be circumvented by first allowing the app to activate, then firewall blocking their internet connection. Firewall block Playstore as well although it should be disabled except when needed.
If an app doesn't need internet access to function it should be firewall blocked anyway.
