I tried many such managers (Gemini, Autorun Manager, Autostarts, ...) to switch off some receivers to prevent autostart. But it seems that no one of this apps are working on Xperia S.
All apps saying there is no single receiver registered in the system. I do not have any more idea what happen here. I contacted the author of Autorun Manager and he does not have an idea also. Does any of the devs know what Sony did in the system to prevent this apps to run properly?

Doesn't work for me on any of my xperia's.
Sorry to bump old thread but I'm still looking for a slution.
Same problem here. Neither Gemini App Manager nor ROM Toolbox seem to able to access app data. Gemini App Manager does not display the "Configure Autorun" option, and ROM Toolbox says "No receivers found". Is this an XPERIA-specific problem maybe? Quite annoying, as I would like to disable autostart apps that eat my memory and battery.

I couldn't find anything on this topic so I had to create a new 1 I'm sorry if I repeated.
There are always so many applications running in the background they take ram too.
Is it normal?
Has anyone found a solution if this is a problem?
What makes them running in fact what makes them start in the first place thanks in advance

use task killers, but AFAIK there is no need for that since android automatically kills unused apps.
just go to settings-application-running services and close the 1 u want to
simple
Thanks

I would suggest not using a task killer cause they suck but using android assistant its really cool and works well for a lot of things including killing tasks but more important use startup Auditor you can look up programs that are always running and in background and select to kill them at start up as well as keep them killed you can still open and use the apps it just keeps them from opening by them selves

try smart bar.
I use "autorun manager" to control which stuff works at startup.
i would suggest googling for android task killers and reading the lifehacker article about them, it is pretty well explained (sorry but I can't post links just yet)
Autorun manager isn't a task killer,so you can use it only for monitoring startup apps. This is a good alternative.
Hi every one
I downloaded the applications they are good but I didn't really got my answer.
The thing is that even when I turn the things off even after terminating the threads after a while they get started on their own why does this happens?

It sounds like you are using an app that is turning something back on. i.e. some app that uses google maps so that service is turned back on.

yeah i guess i'm obviously not sure.
right now there are atleAST 10 to 15 apps running in background.
i didnt even clicked them by any chance.
they all are consuming ram.
You could always use Titanium Backup and freeze Maps. I do this as soon as I am done with Maps - that way it is not able to start up again.

You know any application that provides freezing for free;-)???

Hi,
what does it mean technically if an app is "freezed"? Is the APK moved to another location, or are the unix access rights altered, or is a reference to the app deleted from some kind of "registry" of the Android system, or what else? Can it be done manually by a file manager?
Thanks,
Stefan
It can be done using the purchased version of Titanium Backup and probably a few other apps. It basically renders the app inactive without uninstalling it. Helpful for bloatware that runs in the background but you can't decide if you want to delete it or not.
Thanks, but this was not my question...

Most freezing apps simply rename the app to be frozen with an extension, like in the case of Bloat Freezer (IMHO the best one) the frozen app gets a .bzw extension. It remains in place but of course cannot be executed. The nice part is that if you run into an issue you can just rename the app back to what it was (assuming that you have root).
It works!

Cool, so simple - thanks! So it can be done with any file manager.
I've just successfully frozen the preinstalled "LGWorld.apk" by renaming it to "LGWorld.apk.bak". As soon as I had done this, a message popped up, saying "Deinstalled", and the icon disappeared from the app drawer, and also the update for "LG World" vanished from the Market app.
Hmm.. freezing doesn't mean rename. It is being remove from system. If.you rename yourself, the apps may failed to work.

Freezing the app works via decreasing the temperature of the app to roughly 50 Kelvin. At this point the the app's molecular structure becomes a super condensed crystal lattice. Due to the nature of the crystal lattice, android treats the super dense app as non existent. Essentially the app is deleted from your system completely. However, think of it not as a permanent deletion but rather a reversible one. Should you chose to 'restore' the app, you can defrost the app. You could defrost the app using a microwave but I for one use TB Pro as it does a far better job.

Manufacturers and carriers often load Android phones with their own apps. If you don’t use them, they just clutter your system and sometimes in the background, draining resources. Take control of your device and stop the bloatware.
We’ll be focusing on disabling – also known as “freezing” bloatware here. It’s a safer process than uninstalling the bloatware completely, and is also easier to accomplish with free apps.
Uninstalling vs. Freezing
Uninstalling an app is exactly what it sounds like – the app is entirely removed from your device. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to get many of these preinstalled apps from the Play Store if you ever need them again. Uninstalling some preinstalled apps may result in problems or instability, so you could run into problems.
It’s safer to “freeze” apps instead of uninstalling them. A frozen app is disabled completely – it won’t appear in your app drawer and it won’t automatically start in the background. A frozen app cannot run in any way until you “unfreeze” it. Freezing and unfreezing are instant processes, so it’s easy to undo your changes if you end up freezing a necessary app.
If you really must uninstall apps, you should freeze them first and wait a few days to ensure that your phone or tablet works properly without them.
You can’t uninstall or freeze preinstalled bloatware apps without root access and third-party app managers. Try and you’ll find the options grayed out in the standard Android interface.

I understand and have frozen quite a few apps with TB Pro. My issue is there are shine pre-installed apps that I like to use, but when I run the task killer, they're always running. Is there a way I can fix them where they don't keep starting immediately after killing them, but still having them available when I want to use them?

Thx a bunch. I dwld and installed the grenify app and disabled them, however, when I run my task killer the gallery app is always running. I wanted to greenify it, but it's not showing up in the greenify app, even when I did a search for it, it just took me to my home screen. I clicked on the app and it just opened but I didn't see any options to greenify it. Any suggestions? Thx for ur help.
so at the end is freezing and renaming the same thing? no one cleared that up, i usually just rename to BAK and thats it, what does TItanium apart from renaming?
ok i answer myself, freezing is the same as going to app manager, and selecting DISABLE
or from a root terminal using:
pm disable {package_name} (e.g. # pm disable com.android.browser)
wich calls:
/system/bin/pm
wich in turn contains:
# Script to start "pm" on the device, which has a very rudimentary
# shell.
#
base=/system
export CLASSPATH=$base/framework/pm.jar
exec app_process $base/bin com.android.commands.pm.Pm "[email protected]"
what it does is set a flag for a component to some of different values:
COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DEFAULT
COMPONENT_ENABLED_STATE_DISABLED
among others. (http://developer.android.com/reference/android/content/pm/PackageManager.html)
where does it store this flag: I DONT KNOW
is this flag a value inside some manifest/ini file? : IDK
is this flag st in the file system? IDK
can someone show me the light?
edit: I DONT KNOW for sure but i think it stores it in : /data/system/packages.xml
that is generated by package manager taking info fro each app manifest. i hope i am right, but dont take my word as absolute truth since it was a quick google research lol
Renaming the apk file can result in unwanted behaviour... I learned by trial&error! I'm running MIUI 6 and wanted Google Play as default app store and not the MI Market. Renaming the apk file for the Mi Market gave me the result I wanted: launching Google Play whenever I clicked a link to a certain app. But that was until I rebooted the phone... it got stuck on the MI startup logo. After renaming the Mi Market apk file in twrp recovery, my phone booted again.
So might try freezing it to see if it will do the job properly.

Depends what you mean by "renaming." Changing the extension from .apk to .apkold or .bak or something like that will harmlessly freeze the app since it's no longer seen as an apk by the system. Renaming the app itself is another thing entirely.
I renamed the extension to .noapk and Miui wouldn't boot anymore.
Good stuff
Is there any application which turn off preloading application something like "msconfig in windows"
i have install some appplication which are starting with the system is there any way to turn off ??
that should improve the battery life as well !
I find out while every time when i click on "task manger" it closing 42/50 apps even when close down they back live even a games in less that 20 sec !!
while i not using task manger for a while 128mb left while i close down it come back to 400/480mbs
I usually use Super Manager paid app for this. It has quite nice startup manager, needs root obviously. Stops apps from starting up at startup, though due to Android's architecture some apps still open up in background later, but it's not a big deal for me.
There is also autorun manger app.
I use Gemini to block the auto-start.

Freeze is not the same as block autorun. I'm freezing apps now but I prefer to block autorun events.

Hello.
I have a question and hope I will get some answers. There is always a service running called XDMService or Remote Control.
What exactly is this service for and how I'm able to deactivate it completely?
Is this service might related to Software Update Service? Because I deactivated auto software updates and this service is still running.
Thanks for any advice

Ty. But I'm not sure if this is the right thing. That does eventually mean it's for some kind of synchronisation. But this tool seems to be not from google. I'm quite sure this service is related to Samsung or Google .
Is there a way to find out which app starts this service? Another question is how to stop this service from starting automaticly?
if you have root and ES task manager(my preference), you can manage start up programs.

if you have es task manager, once you open it and click on stat up manager, it'll ask you for root permission and you give it. that's it you'll see all the programs that start during system start up like you see in windows task manager. you can either disable or enable programs. but remember sometimes some system programs do not work if disabled! :good:
hey thats cool. didnt knew es file (edit: task; thats why manager can do this! thanks i will test this app again.
btw found something

some good infos here too. i used autostarts for disabeling it and it worked!
Thank you
Edit2: Yeah, ES Task Manager does the same job. But kind of sweeter looking.
Disabled DSMLawmo, Remote Controls, Software Update and few others. Restartef and works. Lots of more free RAM at boot.
Hello,
So, my question is, when I try to kill a process with 3rd party task managers, such as ES Task Manager and Android Tuner, the process gets killed for a moment, and the re-starts again. For example Google+ process. When I kill Google+ on Android Tuner, it starts again after a while.
But when I kill a process with android's default task manager (which is located in Settings --> Apps) it gets killed permanently, till I reboot my phone.
How can I do that same thing with 3rd party Task Managers?
I HAVE a working root and root permissions via SuperSU.
Check out greenify from the play store. It essentially hibernates any apps you choose until you start them. Works best with root.

I wonder what's the difference between Android system task manager and a 3rd party task manager with root permissions. Aren't they both supposed to do the same thing?
