Disabling startup services

Since I usually cycle between 2 batteries, I'm trying to make my phone boot faster by disabling some startup services. However, I'm new to this so I'm not sure which services are safe to disable and which aren't
Here's a list of services that run after startup according to Autostarts and what I've disabled so far:
Calendar
Calendar Storage
Email
Email
Messaging
Messaging
Download Manager
Media Storage
PC Internet
Mobile Tracker
SIM Tookit
My Uploads
Google Talk Service
Network Location
Google Partner Setup
Gmail Storage
Sync Feeds
Maps
Samsung Account
CSC
Clock
Factory Test
DRMContentLauncher
Factory Test
com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.una
Service Mode
SNS
com.sec.android.providers.downloads
DRM Protected Content Storage
Daily Briefing
Swype
wipeoutreceiver
Device Management
Dialer
Would love some advice on this issue. Thanks.

i'm using an app called the autorun killer
Autorun Killer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8123924&postcount=40
to replace Startup Manager that is now a paid app
i lost count of all the stuff i disabled, just too many to list here
i'll try to compile a list, if i can figure out a way to export it

Thanks for the app, but I'm just wondering what services are safe to disable and which aren't. Hate having to wait so long after boot up until my phone is usable.

Startup manager is the only app I know that actually disables start up processes and not waiting for them to start and kill them after. It has 15 days trial.

Push notifications don't arrive

I've a serious problem.
I can't recive push notifications (whatsapp, messenger etc.)
Only if i open the app.
I had the same problem a few months ago but the problem was greenify Now it's disabled but the notifications don't arrive.

Firstly double check the settings from inside the app. Then check app settings from "app info"(tap and hold on app in recents or app drawer or alternatively go to settings-> general-> Application Manager. Also check Xprivacy(or any other similar apps I.E App Ops), if you have that installed.
One thing I've also noticed, since KK, Sync must be enabled for some network using apps to push notifications. So also try enabling Sync and check that "Restrict Background Data" is not enabled in Data Usage/(menu key) advanced settings. This last point is especially important for use on mobile data.
Here's a few apps that may help if the above doesn't resolve your problem.

How can I save my mobile data ?

Hi I have a few apps installed and some of them will provide notification when I am on my 3G, is there a way to disable notifications for all my apps at one go or do I have to manually disable it 1 app at a time ? also are there any other ways like a firewall or something.

Yes, there are some firewall app (I dont remember, you can search on Play Store).
But you can open Settings > Data usage > select an app > select 'Restrict background data'

What background apps on earth will be disabled use mobile data ?

On Samsung Galaxy Note 3, Settings - Connections - Data usage, Menu button.
I wonder that what background apps on earth will be disabled to use mobile data if we click the checkbox of "Restrict background data".

If you select that for Media, you can't download anything from Google Play over mobile data. Which I found out the hard way.
Basically what it does is prevent apps from using the Internet in the background over mobile data (3G/4G). This includes widgets, newsapps, messaging apps and facebook.
They'll work actively, but not in the background.
(yea, this is a copy of my reply on your thread in General. Just putting it here too, incase anyone else wants to know.)
