[Q] Any recommended startup apps?

I have noticed that there are numerous services that would start up by themselves such as alarm, timer, email, messaging, my uploads, timescape etc, I would also like to disable off these default services since I'm using handcent sms and k9 for sms and email services and adw launcher.
Is anyone using any free app (that doesnt require root) similar to startup auditor to disable services from automatically starting up? I used the free version which only allows 5 services to be disabled.
Also what are the other services/apps that I can disable safely since I see other services like com.sonyericsson.xxxxx, or android.process.xxxx? Also what does "My Uploads" do exactly?
I personally use Autorun killer, but it doesn't list anything like com.sonyericsson.xxxx, only normal apk names.. You may have to fork out for the paid version of startup auditor!
Or I imagine that some of the custom ROM's out there would have modified autostart lists?
I have yet to root my x10 mini pro, so I'm unable to use AutoKiller, unfortunately. Its really annoying to have all these services started up.
So far, Startup Auditor doesnt seem all that effective. I have disable some of the apps but still they do occassionally show up in the Task Manager. Sigh.

WiFi keeps turning on automatically

lately in my Asus Padfone 2, the wifi keeps turning on automatically without my permission. Everytime I wake the screen from lock screen, I can already see the WiFi indicator is on above, it's driving me nuts I have to turn it back off every once in a while. This only happen lately when I install many apps from Store I can't remember, so I reckon one of those apps is the main cause of this problem. Can anybody tell me which in my running apps turns on my WiFi automatically?

Do you have location based Wifi? if so you can disable it from Settings>Apps. I donot own any asus devices so i am not sure if my advice will help.

Best way to selectively sync?

Currently using xposed /smart network. I have autosync disabled with screen off. I'd like to go a step further, but I guess not disable autosync completely. I'd like to keep push notifications (especially hangouts and gmail) active, and maybe have the stock Samsung email client update periodically (maybe every 2h, but this isn't too important). Everything else I want to update automatically, but only when the app is opened (contacts, calendar, fb, etc). What's the best way to achieve this?
If you want to selectively update apps, edit their settings separately.
Just for example, you can set yahoo application "not to sync automatically" until you open the application.
For your case, you want calander and all other stuff to sync periodically, go to settings - > accounts
Select google
Uncheck the undesired.

Was hoping not to do do each app separately, especially since many don't listen. If I uncheck the Google Apps, will they still sync when I open them?
Yes. You have a refresh option to sync the app when you are inside it say Google Calendar.
... But it won't sync automatically when I open the app.
Try trigger application. http://techpaver.com/trigger-automate-tasks
This might automate your syncing. Select wifi as a trigger. Whenever you are connected to wifi network, then only auto sync will take place automatically,otherwise it won't autosync.

I had a similar thought using tasker, but can't figure out how to do it.I'd like to create a profile that runs at a certain time of day while on a/c, enables sync of calendar, contracts, dropbox, etc, and then disables synching to those accounts.
For this you have to use a more powerful app, tasker. It takes a/c as a trigger

Yeah, I was able to figure it out using tasker.

[Q] List of apps that can be safely Greenifyed

Hi there.
I can't find it anywhere and the official thread is closed (so strange that there is no official thread in the official Greenify sub forum...)
SO.....where can I look it?
No results in the Search.
Tnx.
I can figure it out yourself. Don't greenify system processes and keep important instant messaging applications running.

My biggest issues come from system apps, such as these:
- Google App
- Google Play services...
- Google Play services (com.google.office process.gapps)
- Google Play services
- Samsung Link Platform Connectivity
- Samsung Cloud Data Delay
- Samsung Push Service
- Backup
- Bluetooth
I have 3 different "Google Play services", Bluetooth even if bluetooth it's turned off, and the Samsung Link there Ida a mysterious for me as I don't have the Samsung Link app installed, and then about 200mb of Google App!!!
Other Samsung backup apps are there but dunno if they can be Greenifyed.
They are all system, and about apps, I don't have any that I can Greenify (I keep WhatsApp, Facebook, and a widget for the clock/weather, but they are so minimum in relation to those system up here!!!
Please help understand if I can Greenify those system apps listed up here, or art least some.
Tnx a lot.

You have some Samsung bloatware on your device, custom ROM would definitely help. Don't greenify Google services, stock Android doesn't run well without. I don't know what "Backup" and "Bluetooth" are in Greenify.
Try to keep all running unless you're willing to flash a ROM.
anyone know if is safe to greenify google photos ?

Yes,I use stock deodexed.
Backup has the Samsung backup icon, and Bluetooth I don't have any idea it's there as I have it turned off!!!
I would like to understand what it's safe to Greenify, and why can't I Greenify Google Play stuff, or if it's safe to Greenify the Samsung Link stuff as I don't even have the Samsung Link app installed
About apps, I have Google App that shows some time after using it and don't get out from the list automatically (so I imagine that Android doesn't close it) so it's shown as a Greenify-able app.
Also, if I Greenify an app like TapaTalk, will I restart from where I was in the forum browsing, or from beginning like if has been killed?

If you fine use it for photo sync or other online stuff, I think you can do it.

You have practically greenified every App and service on the phone. Do you use it only for making calls?
Calls, SMS, whatsapp, mail (inbox by GMail), Internet browsing (opera mini mainly), games, social (face, xda, etc), and other stuff. It's amazing that you can do almost anything you want with most of the system greenified. It seems that some apps are not so necessary after all... Which app of my list wouldn't you greenify and why? Bye!

Do you disable apps with Titanium Backup as well?
No. I've disabled some other apps with Debloater. I've never used TB, but I think you have to be root to use it. And I'm not. .

Finish connecting to wifi on public networks but avoid using facebook messenger.

Hi,
I commute to work and on the train there is free wifi, once you're connected you just need to agree to the T&Cs and you're free to browse. My problem is that sometimes my phone let's me finish connecting (go to the T&Cs page) using the android system itself and other times (more often than not) it tries to do it using a Facebook messenger notification and opening a browser tab. I have found that regularly the android system gets straight to the connect page but the Facebook messenger and browser method often hangs and goes nowhere.
Is there a way to stop the Facebook messenger method of connecting in favour of using only the android system itself?
I use Facebook messenger regularly and would not like to uninstall it. Thank you.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S7 and live in the UK and I'm with the network EE. Thanks for your time.
