I just bought autostarts... and I'd like some tips on how to use it. If anyone is kind enough to guide me, it'd be great.
I put this in the sticky.
Open it, let it run it's course.
Press menu and hide the system apps and expand all.
Go through each event and tap/disable the apps that you do not want to open on either boot/a particular event. Obviously some apps need to open (ie if you use handcent, you would not disable it for sms items)

does anyone know how to clear the recent apps so there is not a long list? is there anyone that I could shorten it to only show my last 3 apps?
thanks again

If you hold your Power button down a while, a list of options will come up. Select Power Off. This will power down your tablet. When you restart it the list will be cleared.
What type of things do you have on your recent list "sexfreak"?
there are things there that are adult oriented, I also dont like how it shows the last picture taken. I was hoping for something a little more slick then powering it off and on, like maybe shortening the list that it would display, or a "app" or link that would clear it out.

Just use one of the Task Manager apps then kill all the processes.
i use advance task killer, it free's the memory up but still leaves the "history " should I use a different task killer?
Developers can mark their apps to not show in recent apps list, but the list itself is only modifiable by android OS. So I think there is no a task killer/manager which can help you.
You can reboot tab or open as many app as needed to hide your problematic app from the lsit
So far Task manager will not clear your recent app list. Only solution I have found is rebooting the device.
Does anyone know where the data is stored? Would it be possible to navigate to the location of the file and clear it that way?

has anyone noticed that after you kill an app that it will start on its own? gmail, books, clock, browser, craigslist, google voice and others will start up after I "kill" them
I can only make a shortcut to the generic options menu, or to some specific submenus like battery on display.
I would really love a shortcut to developer options.
PS: I am using Samsung Galaxy S with Dark Knight 3 ROM, which can be found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1510940
anyone?
I use the app QuickShortcutMaker. You can open certain activities with it, such as settings options. There's the option to test the activity before you make the shortcut, so do that to make it easier. If you choose the wrong one just hit the back button.
I use this to open certain parts of apps and different settings screens. If you have a hard time finding the app (it's all one word), I'll post it from my Dropbox.

worked, thank you very much
How to have a direct shortcut to the running apps within the Android system? Before Android 7.0 it was so easy, and now it's buried inside the developer options menu and I cannot find a way to make a simple shortcut to it no matter no matter how many ways I try or how much I research about it.
if anyone knows of a solution or workaround for this, would be great, thanks a lot!
Four years later...
Same problem. Same question. No answer found... Anyone?
Hi,
I'm looking for a way to create a shortcut enabling me to put my smartphone to sleep simply by tapping on it. The reason I want to do that is because I don't really like the idea of pulling down a pull-down bar and tapping on the icon there. I would also like to avoid pressing the ON/OFF physical button to prevent it from breaking or getting loose.
I was wondering if there's an app that can do that or some system tweak maybe? I found a couple of apps, such as AnyCut and QuickShortcutMaker, but neither of them lists a system event like that, i.e. hibernation. I'm also aware of the Greenify + Nova/Apex launcher trick, but that involves installing a new launcher and a new app, which is not something I really want.
Please, note that I'm not looking for any third party solution, such as a widget or an app, either. All I want is a shortcut on my home screen, that's it.
Thanks!
Hi,
I want to know if some features exist or if it's possible to activate it.
I like to have a different color notification LED by applications (message, phone, twitter, messenger) How can I activate it. I found in "parametre" only for message, phone and voicemail.
On my older phone, I can switch music by long press on volume button. I love this feature. It's possible to activate it?
I use a lot lmt launcher, I think it's very fast way to launch application. But on Miui, LMT don't launch any application, only back,home,recent apps works. Someone use it?
Thanks for your answer.
what is the fastest, easiest way to force stop an app ?? i know settings, apps, find app, but with a bunch of apps its a pita. any other tricks, shortcuts, safe apps, or any other ideas?? not looking at hiding the notification, but stopping the app.
say 2 things, new to oreo and s9, last phone was an s7. anyways, if i had a program running in the notifications, say for my motorcycle gps, tomtom, i was able to long press the notification, then go to app data and force stop. not seeing that anymore.
Trying to find the fastest way to force stop an app running, that has a notification. for example this one says connect device. I am not trying to hide the notification, but force close it when i don't want it running. for example this app gives me live traffic, sometimes i want it, sometimes i don't.
thanks much for the time
settings, developer options, running services
that seems to work too, and the app i want to end is on the first page.
seems easier than the apps, and scrolling down to the Ms
hmm
Greenify, then you can set what you want to force close, and then make a home screen button. Bam it easily blows them away.
Recents, long press the app icon on the left, wait for the i info letter to appear on the right, press i, force stop.
You're welcome

I'm dumb
...
world be nice to find an app that shows ALL opened apps and services and can completely close it in one click.
thank you so much!!!!
I just moved from s7. on s7 android 7 I can long press shortcut on home and can tab on i icon That menu has removed.
The apps you actively use are closed when you swipe them away in recents. You dont need any fancy force closing. Try it. Open recents, swipe away the app, when you open it again it loads from scratch. Or am I missing something?

That not correct. Some application even you remove it from recent app it still run in background.
In my case Facebook Messenger is often cause media sound issue, after end call sometime media sound route to earpiece. Two way to solve that is kill the app or restart phone.
You can use my apps Killapps and Hibernator
