I think background apps still starting even when you paly games, because it's the way android works. Regarding kcryptd maybe this can help you, here.
Hmmm...backgrounds process can be disable using two apps....
1. Autorun Manager (Need pro to fully unlock all features)
2. System Cleanup
with autorun manager and system cleanup, you can disable certain apps receiver that make the apps auto start itself even after you have kill it....those receiver is mainly for the apps widgets receiver, broadcast receiver and CD2M receiver....if you disable those receiver (example widgets receiver) you can make the apps not restarting again and again but you will lose the option to add the app widgets on your home screen....if you disable the CD2M receiver (example facebook), you will never get any notifications/alert cause the facebook is not running on your phone backgrounds...you will only received the notifications/alert if you open facebook..
basically, i use autorun manager cause using that apps, you can view all apps receiver and disable it...once you have disable it, the apps will never restart again after reboot or after certain period of time....

When I open some Apps, 10 other Apps open along with it. Is rooting the phone the only way to have access to the means to stop this?

Don't pay so much attention. In general, those applications don't use your cpu and battery. Android has its own task manager system.
Yeah dis is even happening to me,the reason is so simple like one app needs the other apps so they are even opening up.

what the appl you using which is opening others appl can u name the apps
if you kill apps, they will probably get restarted automatically and left in the background. If the apps are working correctly, this is not a problem, as a well coded app does not use CPU/battery when in the background.
Actually, I just quit using a task manager to kill tasks (I just let Android kill them as necessary) and I have no problems (phone is not slower, power drain is not higher).
Maybe the thing is that after you stop a task in a task manager it does not update immediately and you don't see the task being restarted, and when you go into the task manager after running some app just then you see the apps restarted.
Also, some apps are very generic (maps) and used by other apps, and some apps need to be running all the time (latitude, mail client, widgets, etc.) and killing them would make them not work properly (widgets no longer updating, not getting new emails, etc.).
My advice is to leave the apps running if you are not very sure of what you are doing, because the OS will eventually kill unnecessary apps, and until then they should not use any CPU or battery.
Only thing is to stay away from badly written apps, the ones that use too much CPU even when in the background or when phone is sleeping. You should probably wait for a night after installing a new app to see if you have higher drain. If so, just uninstall and search for an alternative.

Hi there
sorry for asking I am somewhat new to Android.
I read very often that Google Maps should be froozen because it is a battery sucker. Now I am wondering how an application could drain the battery when I actually do not run the application.
How does Android itself deal with applications and quitting them?
I read conflicting recommendations about task managers stating that Android itself deals with this better.
So what is this freezing of apps? Does it prevent Android from starting it automatically?
Thanks for any education

Android is based on multi tasking ..ie many apps can run in the background even though you are not using it at the moment..say if you are using maps and once you're done you just exit it. However maps app will be running in background if not exited in proper manner( either using the app or by going to running services in settings and force closing).
Also certain apps are configured to autorun under certain circumstances ..say for maps or Facebook app! -try keeping your wifi /data off! Go to settings/apps/running services/menu-cached process and force close Facebook,maps however once you turn on data /wifi they will run automatically! Just check it out yourself ..
Solutions for such problems could be either to use autorun managers or to freeze the app -freezing makes the app unavailable for use until you de-freeze!ie it blocks the app from running ..
Above said statements /examples are from my experiences!correct me if I'm wrong!

Yes but be careful, if you use task killers to kill them, they may start again and this will consume more battery than the program running.
Imho the best way to go about this is the following:
- go get Quick System Info PRO from Market (it's free)
- set it up so that it places a CPU usage icon on your status bar (the notification for that icon is also animated)
- when you find the device is sluggish and CPU usage is high, tap the notification and go to the Processes tab
- sort by CPU usage
- kill whatever it is that is using the CPU
And you may also kill all tasks just once before going to bed or something, just in case.
To stop maps, use autostarts disable all maps have in there, then you can be cool

Am I being paranoid or is my phone getting slower and slower :S I get tired of closing apps in the 'Running Services' tab. Is there a way to completely close an app? I got in the habit of hitting back until I return back to the homescreen but that doesn't work on all apps such as Facebook.
No thats the propper way..
If an app doesnt stop after hitting the back button it wont do this anyway
you have to kill it on task manager
apps like facebook wont close doen because they own notifications and live messaging

Task Manager? Where is that? I have an Xperia Play
There is a way ... If you use CM go to settings --> applications --> development and stop app via long press

Hi
Android are supposed to keep apps 'cached' in the background - having them ready should you need them once again.
One way to 'kill' apps, to free memory is to install a 'task manager' og 'task killer' (search one of these phrases in play).
They are designed to kill a list of apps with a single touch...however Google doesn't recommend this way, as they claims it might leave the system in an unstable state.
As i can't post links, you can 'google' this: 'task-killers-answer-google-developers'
You might have a rogue app or memory leaks, or your VM values are bad for your device. Are you running out of RAM? Is your CPU usage maxing out? Are you using swap or compcache? What are your VM/sysctrl values? All these things and much more can destroy a ROM.
I find that many custom ROM's have a habit of using stupid VM values. Try getting RAM Manager from Play Store and using the "Balance" preset, it works great. I also highly suggest "SystemPanel App" from Play Store (costs $3), it has an awesome Monitoring function to record a history of how all your apps, services and processes are using the CPU. That is, if the CPU is maxing out... get a CPU Usage Monitor to find that out.
EDIT: If you are using an sd-ext partition, it can also kill performance. Especially if you move dalvik-cache to sd.

Hi everyone, like the title says, I want to know how you can stop FB from being active all the time. There are allways 2 processes running and if you stop them, after a while they come back.
What is the best thing you can do? I don't want to delete it, I just want it to be active when I use it and deactivate it afterwards.
Grtz
Why does it matter that its running?

Isn't there an option under development in settings where you can set it to kill every app when you exit it? I've never tried it so I don't know how it works.
Sent from my LT26i using xda premium
I've used that option a few times when background applications are slowing down my games. I usually get a lot of messages following up after saying "Unfortunately, X has stopped." over and over until I turn it back off.
Do you want it to stop to save ram or to save data?
Sent from my LT26i using xda app-developers app
To save RAM and to save battery life off course!
Also Maps, Update Center And Office Suite are allways running. I want them to be inactive unless I need them.
Just remove it and use Friendcaster, WAY better.

Go to settings - apps - all and click on maps - disable, office suite - uninstall, facebook - disable, update center - force stop, and after you do this, go to running apps, kill them and then go to cache and clear this apps from there.. They won't start again.. Remove all the bloatware like foursquare, wisepilot etc which you dont need.. You can also disable timescape feeds, picasa and twitter.
And an advice.. Download ex-dialer and then disable contacts and phone.. You would love it
I have some questions..can anybody point out as which are ohk to freeze and which are not? Coz somedays back i tried freezing some apps and my Playstore app started giving me weird errors as 406-cant download. Find out later that you cant freeze Package Installer or Package Access Helper. Unfroze them again and its all good. Anywayz here are some apps which am highly doubtful about..

Google maps seems to constantly be running in the background taking up around 7MB. Every time i kill it it starts running again almost immediately. I know its not taking up too much space much every little helps. How can I kill it permanently until I actually want to use it?
Thanks in advance!

Yeah it looks like many apps do that...those stupid developers...
Anyways, it looks like ure a minimal-ram-usage kinda guy - i respect that and your quest, i fear it wont last long cuz everytime u get a new app it probably does the same thing...but i'll help you how i can.
So dis is what I do:
(You need root, except for task killer)
Autostarts app: it allows you to disable autostarting bast***rd apps
Advanced task killer: it allows you to kill processes and services. Userful sometimes when u need to make sure.... i advice against letting it run on it's own letting it clean every half hour or so, cause it hogs up your phone at times, dunno why, but manual is always the best way.
Grennify:this is a real revolution for android, some rom developers have even put it as system app preinstalled in their roms. Read the apps description on the store. It will hibernate apps automatically, it runs in the background but it's more useful than harmful. It 'hibernates' apps instead of freezing them totally (like u can do with titanium backup pro and many other apps). It helps fight other backgrounf running user-hater apps such as facebook...you can apply it to gmaps, it will disable it automatically when u close the app.

I use Greenify to automatically hibernate Google Maps
I use App Quarantine to hibernate/freeze viber. It allows you to creqate a widget in the home screen which allows you to toggle freeze and unfreeze apps.

Thanks for all the help guys. Have started to use greenify, it definatly is a help. I figured out the google maps problem. Im running CM, and I had access to location enabled under location access so Goggle maps was constantly tracking my location. Pretty simple solution at the end.
Thanks again for the help!
Turn off Google Now. That's what keeps it running.
