What about android core apps?
Go sms pro is my messaging application but it has so many services that i don't know what's its usage?

services like otas / maps nothing fishy . obviously go sms pro has autostart so starts at boot.

stop startup applications

Is there any way to stop some applications from starting on system startup ? I means not killing them. just don't let them to start.

this depends on what applications they are, some need to start for the phone to work properly
Rom Toolbox Pro has a feature to "enable" or "disable" startup programs and/or apps. For obvious reasons, you'll need to be rooted.

The autostarts app works well for me as a dedicated app. But yes heed caution at disabling system apps. Some are important.

There is this tool called Android Assistant https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.advancedprocessmanager which is not a root tool, but can still block apps during startup.

Running Process

I had a look at whats running after a re-boot:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Other them Display brightness, Thumb Keyboard, Google Services and Gallery, why are the others running? I imagine that secphone and Samsung Push Service are required to make the phone work and have my mail pushed. Gps Navigator shows restarting all the time until I turn in on then goes in process. What of those should be frozed as I dont use them at leased for now unless other app are using them.
Those are system apps which are meant to be run by default. If you close most of them, your phone might not function properly like lets say when you get an email or a message, the notification will not be shown if they are force stopped.
Yes, I agree, some apps like Samsung Apps, Maps...etc keep running when you hardly use them.
If its still a pain for u to have these apps running, Use Root Explorer to freeze/Uninstall those apps or just add ".bak" extension to the apk incase if you will ever need these apps.

Hi thanks for your answer, i ve 4 android device samsung, sony and lg and it works good
But this chinaphone has not this kind of android! Maybe is a component or process not installed in this bad rom.
How can i do? Some apk for this?
normally the google apps and services for Android are delivered with the gapps for custom ROMs, which are typically device specific. dunno where u can get these for a china ROM, sorry.
Maybe i can flash gapps....

Dual Messenger Cloned System Apps

Good day everyone!
Device: Samsung A10s running Stock android 10 with 2/32 non rooted.
I have this problem of dual messenger feature that also cloned system apps such as Android system, google play services, and now i already disabled Dual Messenger but the problem is those cloned system apps is still there and i'm worried because it takes all the battery cosumption and storage.
I've already tried to disable but can't clear it's data cuz it won't let me
How can i resolve this issue?
Thank you so much
@ZodiacFam
Why not simply uninstall the cloned messenger? To uninstall the cloned messenger, long press its app icon then tap on Uninstall:

Tiktok background process

I heard Tiktok has a lot of background processes to collect data on it's users even when it's off. I know Tiktok is essentially Chinese spyware, but I still want it for the memes. Thing is my phone is old, so that spyware will eat right through my battery. Right now I'm using the app, and when I'm done I force stop it from the "app info" setting, but will this really stop the app? Will it stop any app? If not, how can I continue to use Tiktok without it spying/draining my battery?
I'm on a non rooted phone running android 8.0
