Prevent Facebook App from starting services - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
I'm using a device with 512mb RAM.
Now facebook uses up to 80mb, and notifications, and messages aren't even shown properly, actually only if you go into the app.
Now my question is - is there any way exept android manifest changes to prevent any facebook services?
It lowers the performance a lot, and is really on of the baddest apps ever seen.
Thanks

Sure, thanks.
But I was also looking for an implementation into ROMs, to prevent a specific service to start.
Any RD?

Chinese notification

I hope somebody can give me some advice on this cos it's driving me potty, I keep getting notifications on my phone and they are in chinese (see screenshots), clearing them is no problem but I'd like to know if there's any way of blocking them, it's not a text or email, just a notification and a little picture of a star at the top of my screen, any suggestions welcomed thanks

The notification appears because you have installed an app with airpush advertisements in your phone.
Install this and do a scan on your phone: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...DEsImNvbS5icm9zbWlrZS5haXJwdXNoZGV0ZWN0b3IiXQ..
Then uninstall the aplication that came out with the result and rate developer with 1 star on google play. (this usually gets the developer to react, if alot of 1 star ratings are received)

Try "addons detector". However that's not a generic ad so it may not detect anything. You just have to go through your recent installed apps and running processes to figure out which app is the culprit.

Have you installed any apps recently right before you started getting the chinese notifications? That would probably be the culprit. I would start uninstalling recent apps and that might solve your issue

I flash different roms all the time and use titanium to restore my apps, come to think of it I only have this issue with the rom I'm using for my daily (perfect galaxy), can't imagine it's a problem with the rom but I think I'll dual boot it and monitor it for a couple of days, I'll let you know how I get on, thanks for everybody's comments

when you get the notification Spam don't remove it yet:
Settings > under system tap on {} Developer options > check USB Debugging
connect the phone using a usb to your computer
open adb shell
Code:
adb shell dumpsys notification
copy the output and save it to a text file, post it here
i'll tell you which app is spaming.
I FIXED MINE!!
the KEY: notification monitor function in addons detector
leave it on and wait a day or so till you get the notification
I used to get bunch of Chinese ads
addon detector showed me exactly which program caused it
it was a hacked version of game I have downloaded... got rid of it and the ad was gone...
thanks guys

Nothing wrong with your memory, thats how android works: http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care
If you are using TouchWiz launcher, you can fix the lag by moving to other launcher (i suggest 'Nova Launcher'), using 'Greenify' to hibernate unused apps , or changing to another rom:
TouchWiz seems to work very smoothly on this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2060403

get an app called disable service and another one called greenify..with greenify you can just hibernate a particular app if its running in background[user app in free version and system app in donation version]
with disable service you can stop google framework and services that are always working in background...but be very specific about disabling those processes coz some are important for play store functionality..
Maybe try a factory reset.. If it's so bad

Experia ZU Task Killer

Guys im just curious if you use Task killer for your ZU device?
its like none of u here discuss about using an application to kill running applications that can slow down our device
due to the shortage of RAM.
Thanks

Task killers actually mess up android, it's designed to cache as many programs as possible for fast app switching. Ive never had any problems with memory shortage on ZU ever.
The reason it's not discussed is because no one uses one.

I wasn't aware that the OS optimizes the apps. I've always used GO Task Manager EX and put a widget on my home screen to kill everything.

It is not optimizing the apps but rather optimizing the memory usage.

No longer allows system app hibernation?

I wanna buy this app. But I was reading some reviews that in recent update, it can no longer hibernate system apps?
Here's a direct quote:
"No longer allows system app hibernation This app worked great until they updated it yesterday. I paid 3 bucks to have the ability to greenify Google maps and such because it sucks battery. Worked fine before the update, but now it tells me I can't hibernate system apps!! What did I pay for???"
Can anyone clarify this issue?

It still hibernates system apps. You have to enable it in Device Administrator and a couple of other places for it to work as intended.

If you have the donate version, after installing it, go to Xposed/modules and click the checkbox for Greenify and reboot. Once rebooted, go to SETTINGS>SECURITY>Device Administrators and enable Greenify. Then go to SETTINGS>Accessibility and enable Greenify. If any other dialogs pop up asking for allowing Greenify, allow them also.
Then open Greenify, click the menu button and choose Experimental Features and enable greenifying system apps and any other options.
Then on the main screen, choose the apps you want to Greenify.
That is all.

I Don't have paid version. I am inquiring about the apps ability to hibernate system apps before I Buy it.
And I have a Galaxy S5 running lollipop so xposed is out of question since its requires deoxed rom (And I am running Stock ROM)
What I really want is an official explanation or confirmation from the developer himself, if his app is capable of hibernating system apps without Xposed or removing and installing system apps as user apps.
As someone else pointed that xposed is necessary to enable experimental features, i did not want all that stuff so I decided to uninstall system apps and install as user apps.

System app hibernation is possible only with Xposed and donation pack.
If you want this straight from the horse's mouth, wait for the horse.
