Hello, i have a little problem with the aps on my phone. After i open one of them, lets say gmail or mail or setting and close it(i mean using an app killer but not force quit)it starts again after some seconds. How can i stop this behavior? I don't mean startup apps, just regular apps that reopen after closed.
My problem are not the apps that start at boot, but the ones tht reopen after i close them. Like facebook app, in advanced task killer i close it but after few seconds it runs again. Here is my problem.

Ya that happens....you mean to say they show up in the advanced task killer rite??
it is basically those apps which mostly have auto sync running in the background...
So if i turn off auto sync, during no internet connection, those apps should not start again?

Anyone noticing apps are auto starting? When I go into task manager, there are bunch of apps running that I did not launch. I kill them and then they start again.

Yeah i have noticed as well, seemingly random apps opening up, can have 50+ apps/processes running
Yep me too. As I mentioned in another thread, most of the apps don't really have any need to be opening themselves.
that's a problem come with android, not only for i9000 also other android phones
Yes it's with Android and once we have root we can disable them with the application called
Autostarts
http://www.appbrain.com/app/com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts
for now, I just use ATK and set it to kill apps every time the screen goes dark.
we have rooted galaxy s already
Now that my phone is rooted, what process are safe to kill? Anyone have any ideas.
Hello,
Not sure if this is possible in Android but, can you kill/exit for good an android app?
I keep using Adv Task Killer but the damn apps keep on restarting after killed...can anyone advise? Its driving me nuts! I liked that tweak in winmo where you long press x and the program is gone for good.
Thanks for enlightening me!

No one knows the solution?
Startup Auditor
I donwnloaded a program called Startup Auditor from the market. It will allow you to disable a program on startup and keep it diabled.
I also deleted the Footprints app (useless) by getting the root explorer app (costs money) that will allow you to delete the app. This is the only explorer I have found that will let you uninstall pre-installed apps.
**BE CAREFUL** removing some apps like Friendstream, mail, messages, etc could mess up your phone, because they are tied into the system.
Google it thats how I figured it out.
Search in market for developer "Gpc". They have a tool called SuperManager for free with great functions such as Root Explorer. In market you will find it with a desktopsymbol icon and japanese letters! no worrys.. whole app can be set to english :d Second entry i think if you search for Gpc. No need to pay for rootexplorer root/data/app/ think there are the apps like footprints you want to deinstall/delete
attached it

This always happens, the easiest way to do it is just to go the manage application in the settings and force the close, the app should not restart after this regardless what the task killer says. Some apps will restart too if you have background data on within the background.
Hope this helps.
I use autostarts. Its capable of stopping the app from loading during boot, and you can block recurring starts through the options. Easy to use. Click on app then disable. It will boot if you run the app, but will not autorun on startup.
You should NOT USE any app killers the are bad for the battery and the memory dont even install them. Next time you update or change your build leave the app killers out like the DEV intended or they would have added 1 for you
Stop looking at the running apps list. Problem solved. If them sitting in that list worries you then uninstall the app. Android isn't winmo, having apps sitting in that list is nothing to worry about.
Is there any way to hard code (when building a custom ROM) the OS so that certain pre-installed system apps DONT auto-start on boot-up, or constantly start while the OS is running (restart themselves and stay running)? I am trying to stop things like Google Maps from starting on its own, unless I WANT to start it. Another example is not auto-starting the GMAIL or MAIL apps, until I open them. Same deal. Possible?
Go into settings then click on the button labeled "Applications". Then click on "Running" and click on the apps you want to stop running and click "Force Stop" and they will stop running until you reopen them again. Otherwise, download ATK.

Or you can use a program called autostarts which can be found in market. Not sure if you can disable the autostart when building ROM.
I updated today to Froyo on my Droid X and now everytime I use advanced task killer to close the browser and reopen it, it does not open to my default google homepage, but instead opens the last webpage I was viewing. Any way to fix?
Uninstall task killer. You don't need it. I used it @ first & I don't see any batt. life improvement. The Android OS is smart, it auto closes what it doesn't need. Task Killer makes the OS continually restart the processes it needs that task killer keeps stopping. Hope that helps some.

Task killers are still useful for manually force closing apps that aren't working properly or are causing problems. Just don't set them to autokill. And despite rumors I've heard about Froyo disabling task killers, my ATK still works fine after the 2.2 OTA update.

This has always been my "default" experience. This is the behavior i am used to as well. If I want my homepage I have to manually go there. So I would be interested to know if there were some sort of setting to accomplish this.
Btw- I have never used a task killer on my DX. I started NOT using one just as an experiment. Coming from WinMo it was very difficult at first to "minimize" every running app with out really "Xing" it out. But I am used to it now and I just let Android handle it. If I absolutely need to - I can just reset my phone. With WinMo I used to HAVE to do that 10X a day (literally)- so yeah - just thought I would throw that in there.
Hi, I have an OP5 on stock Open Beta 5, I'm currently rooted.
Apps that usually have real time notifications or functions don't seem to work until I manually start them after bootup, or even don't work at all.
For example, my mail app now doesn't give me notifications, rather I would have to open up the app manually and refresh the app to see my mail load. Other apps like a notification mirroring app don't work at all until I launch it once on my phone every restart.
I thought it was like Greenify shutting these processes down but I've uninstalled that since. Any ideas?

Did you reboot and wipe cache? What mods did you use additional? Please give more details about your setup.
You can also exclude apps from battery optimization for keeping this apps awake even when doze kicks in so messages came always through and not only in specific time periods.

Hi, I'm currently rooted with Magisk. I tried excluding the app from battery optimisation and so far it's been working.
