when i go into manage applications then "running" i see a whole host of applications that i don't want running in the background
is there a way to permanently stop them? i click stop but it just reappears soon after
There are lots of apps for this. If you´re rooted you should try startup manager or some other apps. Try google it
i tried them and they didnt work. apps still shown as running in application manager

Guys,
I am using LPQ and want to know whether is there any way to restrict apps to not open.
There are so many apps in task manager that are running. I Close them and they pop up again.
I hear that. Apps like Facebook, Games like Gun Bros continously run in the background even when you close them. You can try going into 'Manage Applications' and 'Force Stopping' any apps which keep reopening, or alternatively you can try searching the Play Shop to App management applications such as Advanced Task Manager Pro (personally i dont use any such applications myself)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsIm1vYmkuaW5mb2xpZmUudGFza21hbmFnZXJwcm8iXQ..
There are no apps that block the app from self starting, instead of closing on regular intervals.
Get an app like Titanium Backup Pro, Gemini App Manager or even System Tuner Pro. You can either stop apps from auto starting @ boot, or you can freeze them outright (and unfreeze them if/when you want to use them if necessary).
hi
is there any app that blocks another apps to start. for example if i close the facebook app and remove it from the memory with the task manager, facebook starts after 10 seconds again. i dont mean apps like task killer that kill the app after it started. i hope you understand my question
Sorry for my bad englisch
Autostarts, startup manager, and system tuner.

Rom toolbox I think does this

Android by design kill tasks when the resources become sparse. For this to work, an app must be able to request to be restarted once this occurs - the app (or more correct, "service") is sticky. This is why when you close the facebook app, it's restarted within seconds anyway.
If you are running Android 4 (ICS) or later, you can tell the phone not to autostart apps at boot directly from the Settings menu. Enter settings -> apps -> all, select e.g. Facebook, then click the button "Disable". Now it's gone, and for real this time! The disable button is at the place on the "Uninstall" button, and uninstallable apps are not possible to disable this way - but you can always remove them.
Some apps are neither disable nor uninstallable, though.
But if the autostart app is parental control r something like that, it wold be harder. Firstly the thing would not let you to settings. You could fool it when some settings notification appears, like there is wifi, by clicking on it you will get there without a problem, but you would not be able to delete it. To deal with it, I do personally recommend this: Root your device, get total commander for android (no, trust me, ES would not make it), open TC, get to mnt/asec where are stored installed apps files, find folder attached to that app, change the permisions that everybody could write in it, change ownership and group to some of your other apps and delete that folder. At the end, there shoul be emty folder with an emty folder in it. That should **** up the app so much that its not going to work anymore. Now you can do whatever you want.
Use Purify app
u can use boot manager module in xposed
I'm using clean master and it allows me to bock these app from autostarting.
It can solve by greenify pro smartly. You can google for greenify. After installing greenify (xposed installer) (need allow some feature) allow the modules it will work 100℅. If any errors message me on Facebook/n3xt2u
I am trying to reduce my phone boot time and boost performance and battery life and want to better understand how applications manage to load themselves on system boot. I have a lot of apps installed, several hundred; and using the Bootmanager in XPosed as well as the Autostarts App I seemed to be able to turn off most auto running apps, however,
1) Some apps still manage to load and I have not a clue how .. so I will turn the phone on and as soon as the launcher appears go to the settings and apps and see what is running, and processes will appear which I have no desire to be there. For example RocketPlayer manages to load itself even though not a startup app and has no widgets etc. It does have several receivers still active but none of these seem obviously related to system boot.
2) If I look at all the applications that have a receiver hooked up to 'Connectivity Changed' for example .. do they all get run when the connectivity changes, or are they only notified if that application is open at the time?
3) in general is it a bad idea to have lots of apps and better to stick to the minimum of what you use regularly?
4) should one just Greenify all apps not regularly used or essential?
Any help on this subject would be appreciated!
I would like to have the maximum of control on running processes, but I feel I have not enough control, so I hope you can help me
I know that being root, managing processes and disable "autoruns" is a quite easy task but unfortunately my device is not an easy to root phone
Furthermore, I saw that Android (4.1.2 Jelly Bean) performance is very bad when you have many apps installed or you used many apps recently. Yes I listen about the internal management and I am aware that it is not a suggested practice but since I want to have control on what is happening and i have serious concerns about the algorithms to free RAM (maybe bull****), so I prefer to do it on my own risk
What I am doing is go to
-Settings, Application manager, Running, "Show cached processes"
- Settings, Application manager, Running, "Show services in use"
Identify what apps are in use and i don't like, then go to
-Settings, Application manager, All,
select app and Click "Force Stop"
Doing it my device has a better performance however, some apps still going alive after some time, for instance: Email ( I saw other in the past)
Using "Autoruns" app and checking "email" app I can see with changes of state can start "Email" however, sometime "email" is reenabled after be manually stopped but none of previous conditions happened.
How can I kill "email" or other app and force to stay off? (disable it and install other email app is not a valid answer)
I would like to use email/others as an standalone app, I mean use when I want and have out of memory when I am not using.
Besides, the autoruns, is there any scheduled task or something like that to open apps?
Of course I want to root my phone and I am waiting until someone will find a proper way to root, in fact I think that an android without rooted is like a car with square shape wheels
I think I found the cause for "mail" app being executed automatically, today it went alive after select "flight mode"
Now I would like to control Google play services, I am seeing some of these being executed continuosly, can they be killed? how?

more info about processes, mem and autostart
I am still fighting with Android and how it manages processes, now I am sure that my main problem became each time I went into flight mode or it is restarted.
But it is not only Email being executed and being using in memory but other processes that I am not using doing that, such as:
(Mem. on OS monitor- Mem. in "service in memory"(android settings))
Event: Connectivity changed
-youtube 22.2MB-6.2MB
-Google play services(com.android.gms) 26.8MB-12MB
-Maps 20MB-4.9MB
-Factory Test (18.6MB -3.4MB)
Event: after Startup
-youtube 22.2MB-6.2MB
-Software update (18.0MB-4.3MB)
-Internet (com.android.browser) 18.9MB-3.3MB
There many apps which are executed after events like previous but they are closed after a very short time, but I am frustrated about those which are not unloaded.
Regarding "Email" app I decided to use a free email app and as Email cannot be disabled, so, I removed the accounts associated to email app, however even without accounts configured, it still being launched and wasting resources. can I avoid it?
What do you think?

It's not possible to do what you want without root, unfortunately (unless you're talking about normal apps, in which case you can uninstall them to keep them from running). An alternative would be to use Greenify, though it won't be fully automatic without root either.
What about editing the startups rights?
Has anyone used APK permission remover?

Apk permission remover never stops an app from automatically starting. It only helps in removing the permissions we see during installation.

You still want to do this 2 years and 7 months later? That's one late reply there

Yes but after SO long I found the app 'autorun manager pro', and it allowed to disable triggers /autoStartups/autoruns
Hi,
My android device is rooted and its 4.4.2.
To control auto-start app, I installed Clean Master and allowed it for root access. I stopped many apps that start automatically. To control start-up app, I installed Boot Manager Xposed. Apart from these I installed other apps also for controlling auto-start and start-up app.
However, I have following concerns.
In spite of above, I see many apps like browsers, shopping, news, etc; automatically in Running Apps.
Whenever I close any apps, I remove them from Recent Apps also. And I keep Recent Apps empty/clean. However, most of time I see closed apps are still in Running Apps. It means those apps not closed completely.
I do End Process for all unwanted apps manually every time from Running Apps which is ridicules for me.
Till the time, I don’t call/tap any apps, I don’t want see them in Running Apps and once I close any app, I don’t want to see them again in Running Apps.
Please let me know to control them. All apps for which I have concern is user apps like Shopping App, News Apps, etc.
Regards
