[Q] Prevent Facebook-service from running - without removing facebook

Does anyone have a suggestion on how to do this? All suggestions I see are to remove facebook.
For me I would like to keep it on the phone, as I use it twice a week, but I hate that it always has a service running which takes up to 10mb of ram.
I tried removing that service from the startup list, but it puts itself back in again.
I don't care about the facebook updates (eg. notification) I just want the program to be active when I click on it, not all the time.
Any suggestions?
Freeze it if you have root?

Yeah, I just ROM toolbox for that, but it also removes the icon, so I have to get into ROM toolbox first to defrost it and then to facebook...
not that big a deal, but a little annoying Was hoping there was a more user friendly way
I dont think there is any other eay

I kicked it out of there aswell, but still finds it's way back.
I also disabled it's trigger events... it just keeps coming back.
If I didn't know any better i'd say it's a virus

[REQ][APP]autostarts

Xperia stock FW users can't disable auto-running apps coz apps like auto-starts doesn't show any receivers! So a lot of apps are uselessly running ; feeding on memory and battery, thus degrading performance and battery life!
Is there any working alternative to autostarts? If not, can anyone develop such app?
Thankyou!

I actually ended up using Android Tuner, that seems to work just fine, but thanks for the tip!

need help with greenify root app....

when we greenify an app with this tool then all the processes of the greenified app stops running in background... when we launch the greenified app again then it again starts showing in the "running apps" section under settings option of the phone.... DOES IT MEAN THAT I HAVE TO AGAIN GREENIFY IT WITH THIS TOOL???

No. That's the whole point of Greenify. Each app will re-hibernate after a short period of time. If it didn't go into running apps, you wouldn't be able to open the app. Greenify will hibernate the app a short time after you finish using it.

You cant. It will hibernate each app as it is no longer in use.

Apps like greenify

Is there any app like greenify that is available for android 2.3?? I've heard that it's only for ICS and I'm stuck with 2.3. Please help

You could use Titanium Backup to freeze apps, keeping in mind that it doesn't have the same functionality as Greenify, once an app is frozen you must manually unfreeze it to use it again.

In the second post of the Greenify thread, which is also the FAQ section. They suggest a few alternatives for 2.3 users. Such as App Quarantine, or Autostarts.

I know these apps. What I'm talking about is the app that can hibernate, not quarantine or freeze the app....

Uninstalling System Apps after finding alternatives

As the title says, I've found some great alternatives to my Messaging and Phone apps and would like to know if I can uninstall those apps and only use my alternatives?

Depends on the app. Just freeze it first and see if it causes issues. If it doesn't then delete it to free up space

I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
EDIT: Freezing the app disabled the actual call functionality from the entire phone, even from the user app PixelPhone Pro. Is there no way to disable just the stock phone interface without disabling it functionality?

You can disable certain components of apps using root. Like, if you don't want to see the default messaging app you can disable that activity. In your case, you can disable the dialer activity and it won't show up in your activity drawer, it also won't be launchable from other apps either, yet the rest of the app is still fully functional.
