I'm currently running macnut r12. I have noticed you can't stop the DMService from running using this rom. Supposedly stopping this from running increases battery life. Anyone know if there are any problems with using titanium backup to uninstall this so it doesn't run in the background.

I have Skyraider 2.5.2 with Advanced Task Killer installed. I use the Advanced Task Killer widget on my homescreen for quick task killing. However, ever since I rooted and installed leaked roms, apps like The Weather Channel, Google Maps and Sykpe Mobile keep coming back after being killed. I don't even run those apps that much. I've played with Task Killer setting and still cannot get the apps to stay dead. Any suggestions for getting rid of zombie apps?
If you don't use them,, uninstall them

That would make sense, however I like to have the weather channel app on occasion and the Google Maps I use frequently. It just starts running even if I have not used it in a while.
I use taskpanel and it does a pretty a good job.

android does a good job at handling tasks auto, I don't use a task killer par say, but I do have astro, and will occasionally kill certain apps when I know I won't be using them, say market if I know I wont be using it for hours.
The reason they keep starting back up is because either an app you are running uses them, or an event has changed on your phone.
Events include:
Booting.
Market installs
Location changes
Uninstalls
Enabling BT/wifi
Phone calls
data syncing
You would do well to purchase autostarts from the market to see how to control this, and learn more about the OS in the process.
I had a similar issue, if you can uninstall the app and reinstall from the market. This should solve the autostart problem
Hi,
I have installed Free Advanced Task Killer and i made a shortcut on my homescreen.
Coming from a G1, the task killer was a necessity. But on the G2, its fast so need need to keep killing apps.. however in the interest of saving battery life, I installed it.
I constantly kill between 12-20apps.
What about u guys?

do not use task killers. you will hurt your performance. use an app like autostarts to stop on boot and kill/disable any services after identifying them in the running services tool in settings.
Your not suppose to use a task killer. Android 2.2 has a built in task killer. Your just killing your battery even faster.

Do you recommend any?

I'm killing no apps. With how Android 2.2 works, "killing" the app only restarts it. In a sense, you want to keep your apps running so when you do call them up again, they respond faster, much like a cache. By "killling" it, you reset the service and takes longer to start back up because it's fresh. Froyo will automatically kill apps that are idling if it doesn't have enough resources to put through a requested task.
The only thing related to that that I'm using is WatchDog Lite, and that only informs me of what's being used and alerts me if an app is acting abnormal (I.e using up a lot of CPU on non-normal standards)
Besides, the G2 has a lot of processing power and RAM to be using, so I wouldn't be so conservative about it. It knows what its doing.

Try autokiller from the market, that way the core android taskilling system will be more aggressive.

Killing 0 apps
I have used Taskiller since the G1 on Android 1.0 and there is simply no need for it on the G2. Really there is no need for a task killer on most phones on 2.1 or 2.2. I did use Taskiller to kill applications that I did not use ( Tmoile my Account, stocks, etc) on the Mytouch Slide. I only closed those apps after a fresh boot and then let the phone handle app management from there. With the G2 running a clean Vanilla android build I don't see the need. I had Taskiller installed originally when I first got the G2 but uninstalled it since I was not using it.
i had a task killer when i first got the phone but delete it after i noticed that instead of killing the apps i was actually killing my battery!
HI,
For some reason google maps is always running in the background. i have turned off data,wi-fi etc. i use advance task killer to kill task. after i kill the task (google maps and others) and if i check back after a couple of min it wil be running again. plz help
Thanks
Uninstall ATK, don't check your running apps and stop worrying.
If you dont want it to run...turn off finding location using phone signal in the settings menu..i accidently found this out while looking for the cause of my high battery drain.
Anyway it just runs for a very short while and just sits there sleeping..nothing to worry about.
+1 on not using ATK

Hello guys,
I am new to android and I would like to root and debloat my note 4. I won't be making some big changes, I've got nova launcher + greenify and it's good enough for me as for customization but I experience a lot bigger battery drain on 5.0.1 than on 4.4.4 so I would like to root my note and check what are the wakelocks, and then if needed delete bloat apps like dropbox, facebook (maybe installing facebook lite?), facebook messenger, ANT radio and such.
My question is if rooting with cf-autoroot is enough to do this thing? Will Titanium backpup help me delete all the bloatware apps? What app will I need to stop baterry-draining wakelocks? And also, is there any way to block all but one apps from background data? Let's say I will turn off data in background and leave it just for whatsapp for notofications? I would like to block some google services also since i never use S voice or google now etc.
I would appreciate any kind of help.

For wakelock finding you can use GSAM battery monitor or BetterBatteryStats (BBS)
Greenify, Disable Service, or Amplify if you use Xposed to improve battery life.
Debloating can be done manually, or with scripts/programs around the forum here.
Or you can just flash SimplRom in and have a debloated rom immediatly
Hope it helps :good:
I've downloaded titanium backup pro. Can I unistall 'My Places' without any worries? I'm not using it.

I wouldn't uninstall My Places as I believe is tied in with system security. Just freeze it, as least then if removing it does cause any problems is an easy fix.

I can't believe this, this is incredibly horrible. I can't even name all of my apps right now because I'm afraid the length of the list is going to kill my battery more. Please someone help with this drain? I have 3 hours on a 61% battery.
Other than my device heating up during full gpu usage during game, I don't have battery/heating issue. My experience since OTA so far is that MM runs cooler and battery life has improved (not significant but in positive gain). Brave frontier game will heat up your device fast.

Xposed v23 arm64 causes massive battery drain like 1% loss every minute, and also heating issues upto 46°C, i used gravity box, snapprefs only, but without them, it was still draining.
I might try the safe mode way to identify the problematic app(s)... when I go on holidays next week.

Just reinstalled xposed yesterday after my upgrade earlier this week. Last night/today my phone suddenly started rebooting itself. Might be related to greenify on my end. Going to uninstall xposed, as I think it might be related.

Greenify's GCM Notification functionality is culprit for the reboots. Unchecked it and there will be no more random reboots
