This is probably a simple to answer question, but I have been trying to prevent certain apps from starting and just cannot find a way . . Anyone help . . ?
If you'd have used the search function, you'd have seen my previous reply a few days ago to the last person who started an exact same thread.
SEARCH the market.

you can use autostarts for that. but it's a paid app.

I did a quick search, but I was looking for a way of doing it without going thro the market . .
I also found "Autostarts" - "Startup Manager" and "Autorun killer" . . thanks again anyway . . so I guess there is no way to do it than through another App huh . ?
Do you have problems downloading apps, or do you just prefer not to use one?

I have no issues on downloading apps, I was (am) trying not to have even more apps than I need . . I am trying to extend battery life as much as possible. I am fully rooted with TIB as the most useful addition where I am always experimenting in freezing system apps that are mostly useless to my needs - so far over 25 with no issues. Hence the search for (within) a way to stop at startup . .
Yeah, been looking for the same solution , Autostarts doesn't have all listed. For example, Gun Bros starts some kind of service at startup , but it's not listed. I really wonder why do devs put those kind of services on startup that aren't needed.
I am new to Android, still got my iphone 3GS as a backup. One reason for switching was to be able to watch flash video, the problem I have is because apps and services never seem to close, no matter what I try, video too slow to play with everything else running.
Is it possible to stop services on the Galaxy Note so they don't restart automatically, unless I want them to? I have tried several killer apps, but does not really do it. Why is not possible to only run one app and service at a time or why I want?
Help!!!

There are some apps and services which restart upon closing manually. The only way to have them remain closed is by freezing them or uninstalling them. You have to first root your phone and then install Titanium Backup. In there you will have to either uninstall the apps/services or freeze them. It also works on stock apps which came pre-installed on the phone. Just be careful not to uninstall any apps which are part of the O/S.
you need to root your phone, and rum a root level app manager.
This method worked on my Galaxy Note:

once you rooted, install titanium backup. To back up all you apps. If you are willing to pay, this app will let you freeze apps not to run in the background as well.
Or install gemini apps manager, it allows you to change the autostart, block, and uninstall any apps you want.
Just becareful not to block or uninstall importNt system apps.They are addictive because you feel powerful and in control.
Hi everyone.
I got a Samsung Galaxy S4 and used Titanium Backup to remove all the bloatware.
I'm completely new to the Android OS and got a little too happy with all the uninstalling, and now am faced with two problems:
1) (More urgent): I am able to record videos perfectly fine with the default Camera app, but when I try and replay whatever I just recorded in the Gallery, it says "Unable to Play Video." Do any of you guys know what system app is needed to be reinstalled resolve this?
2) The default music player will not open at all. I did not freeze it/removed it, so idk why it doesn't open.
I installed Rocket Player as a substitute, but would like to know how to fix the default one.
Again, I would appreciate it if any of you guys know what system app is needed to be reinstalled to resolve this.
If anyone also knows a site that has all the system apps for the Galaxy S4, that would also be lovely.
Thank you very much for your time.

You may have removed a necesary component, and flashing back to stock will be necessary... Try clearing cache and data for the Gallery...

How would I flash back to stock?
Go to titanium backup and unfreeze "video player 1.1". Should work after that.
Hi guys,
I have D802b version, anyone knows what kind of apk is this?
It is always runs on startup with a lots of permissions, I have disabled it, seems has no effect yet.
This runs on the Sprint version also and I was wondering myself what it was for and whether or not it could be removed completely.

I froze it and it seems to affect the stock Messaging app. I have owned alot of phones and never have seen this running in the background.
I may try loading a different sms app and then freeze again...
I hate these stupid services running in the background

Hello,
Hope I am posting in the right place. This is the one game I wanted to get going on switch android. Has anyone got this game to run? I validated all the files and it loads up but gets stuck at the kotor logo screen.
Any ideas to get it working or does anyone know why it wouldnt work? So far Ive tried GLtools to spoof gpu/cpu in an attempt to get it to maybe work but no luck there either.
Thanks

Great ideas, both appear to come installed with the 8.1 switch android and I made sure they are up to date. Seems to be another problem getting it working.
Didn't tested but my hint is try using gltools to spoof another hardware to the game. Helps when I wanted to run rr2 in my s8, and seems that people are getting fortnite to work using it.
Working great for me, didn't have to spoof anything or do anything special, works right out of the box. In-game screenshot here.
Maybe try waiting a bit on the splash screen, it takes about 30-45 seconds for me to load up.

At least I know it can work. Thats strange mine wont get past the boot logo. I downloaded it from the play store current version.
My sd card seems fast enough android assistant says boot time is 2:00 to load into android and everything seems fast. Whats your boot time about?
Ya I can't get past the boot logo either. Always crashes when I push a button on a joycon or just hangs there till I exit. @spenat how did you install the game?
Absolutely nothing special: Just installed it from Amazon Appstore and played. Nothing more, nothing less.
Now that I think of it: Maybe there is a different version in Amazon Appstore, than on Google Play..?
Play store, Amazon app store and downloading the apk all cause the same issues. @spenat did you install shiedlier, magisk or the joycon fix?
I have installed following mods/updates:
- Shieldifier (and updated the Nvidia App)
- Magisk (latest)
- Joycon fix
That is it, not sure if it could have any impact on that.
Weird, nothing I do can make it work
If it's of any help, my KOTOR version is 1.0.9.
I have also recorded a short "test" video of the loading time (and a very short portion of gameplay).
What menu or app are you using to open the file?
It's a launcher called "ATV Launcher".
So I have bought it from Google and Amazon. Downloaded patched version. Clean wipe and fresh install on a new SD card. And nothing. Just hangs at the logo forever,
Same issue here, crashes on boot logo.
A thought, have you tried noting without the joy cons connected?
What KOTOR version are you using? Maybe try side-loading the KOTOR app (look for version 1.0.9).
I haven't tried launching the game without the joycons connected, will try and report back.
I have tried the 1.0.6 on google play, 1.0.7 on amazon, 1.0.9 underground and a bunch others and all do the same thing
hmph just hangs here too is this guy trolling? not cool gonna try atv launcher
just tried no luck there either.
Are you logged into the amazon game service? it wont let me do that...
do you also own this on a legit shield?
I am not "trolling", you can watch my video above - the game is working fine for me... No, I am not logged into amazon game service.
Also no, I don't have the game on Shield device, I don't even have one. I have it in Amazon Underground app store since a long time ago.
