I just downloaded Skype and installed it successfully. However, I notice that Skype will automatically launch randomly with the icon on the left top bar. Do I need to configure something to stop this behavior? Thanks!
Use something like AutoStarts to stop Skype from auto-launching.

Thanks for your advice. I cannot find it in Settings. Is AutoStarts a built-in app or downloaded app from Market?
So far no problems with Skype auto starting on my GSII. Is that happening to other people?
There's a modified APK of skype with video calling support for SGS2 which prevents the auto start
go find the thread
I may make a mistake - the icon on the left top bar should be the icon of synchronised with the web. It is rotating almost all the time. I am a bit scared of huge data download.
I'm using the modified one, and you kill it and it just restarts.
That is until BodenM mentioned Autostarts that is an awesome app. I have been looking for one that does exactly that for a while.

I'm using the modified version too and it only opens and/or closes when I tell it to.

So I've just downloaded the app Android Assistant today and it's the first process manager that has shown me the Eventstream Engine that's running. I've seen it in root unistaller but left it alone because I didn't know what it was.
The thing that shocked me was that Android Assistant reports it's using 30% of my battery! 30%!!!!! So I searched what eventstream engine was an found out, from what I can tell, it's just a background process manager for timescape which I've frozen on my phone. So I froze it. No problems so far on my phone. Messages, music, gallery, all SE stock apps I've kept seem to open up just fine still.
Has anyone frozen else Eventstream Engine on their phones? If so, have you experienced any problems?
Ive deleted it, it just controlls timescape if you dont use it, dnt worri

Won't deleting it prevent the ota updates from applying? Or is that just base android Apps that can't be deleted?

I can think of 3 applications which don't work on ics. One is my internet banking app, an official vodafone usage app plus I can't batch enqueue my songs in power amp.
Reverted back to GB and all is well.

Look in the games section in the Group Play app.
Or create a shortcut to it using a home screen widget personalisation app (minimalistic text, uccw, etc) to open it directly.
It's a group playing game though, it's no good on your own. Also, see the Canimals Match 3 game too, you can play this on your own.

My Samsung Galaxy S4 Has Also Been Infected With The Same Two Undesired Programs
How is that this same poker game (Com2uSPoker 1.3.2) and the same matching game (Match3VS 1.0.127) are both on my phone installed as system apps? They survived a system reset I had to perform over the weekend because of an infinite boot loop. I found the two programs in a Titanium Backup log as currently installed software, whereas they do not appear in my menu of apps. I just happened to be looking in there because I'm in the process of restoring my phone to normal operations. But these unsolicited apps were hidden in my phone, as far as I can tell, since before December 1st, 2013! And they have had free access to my personal data all along according to their stated permissions! This is alarming to say the least because I did not install them. I filed a complaint with the IC3. Any ideas what is going on? I've had Avast Antivirus installed on my phone all along but nothing was caught!
I have a D-802 on CM.
Sometimes in some other app I get a message for example 'YouTube has stopped working' then I think why would it even run in the background when I have not even opened it, I am suspicious that there must be more apps running in the background all the time which reduce the battery life.
How do I disable some apps from running in the background without even being opened?

Your right. Im sure there are more apps that runs that you dont know. Install titanium backup and freeze it from there.
Root it and greenfy them This is better than Titanium because it freez the applications you have choosen when you close them, and unfreez then automaticly when you open them

I'll try this, but I was expecting to find an app which have simple settings to allow or disallow certain apps in the background, for example, Afwall+ which greatly controls which apps connect to the internet.

I've been using Greenify for a while now and it seems to work great. Really simple to use.
Dear members,
Since I installed kk the GPS icon is always present in the notification bar (see picture). Is this normal? If not, what can I do about it too get rid of it? I already tried disabling location services but that doesn't work.

I also have this problem with the 4.4.2 update. Even turning location services off doesn't remove the icon. The only way I've found - apart from a restart - is to launch a Google app which invokes GPS (such as Google Maps) and then close it.
I've seen this too, running C-RoM. Doesn't happen a lot, but when it does, I reboot to clear it. No idea what causes it, although I have a gut feeling it correlates with Maps usage.
