That will only work if the app he is trying to kill is his own and is currently running .
If I get you right, you need to use
Code:
android.os.Process.killProcess(android.os.Process.myPid());

Need Help with getting the eFrostMinimize file

Hi guys
Sorry for asking this simple question, but I've tried to locate the efrostminize.exe or cab file on this forum but all the search result only show people mentioning this program instead of the download link to this file.
I've hard reset my PPC this morning due to some problem and now I realise i didn't have this program in my PC.
Can some kind soul point me to the right thread/location to get this SUPERB program??
Thanks!!

THANK YOU SO SO MUCH!!!
you are welcome
Where is the NORMAL minimize.exe located? He talks about it being located in his ftouchflo thread but i see NO download for the normal minimize.exe.
uh, aren't they the same thing? just change the file name? i know the old version of efrostminimize.exe minimizes you to today screen, and the newest version simply minimizes the open task like it should. maybe that's what you mean?

sktools aliases

Hi,
I've read before how those these aliases(i.e. :WMPLAYER, MSSOLITAIRE, etc) were discussed. I was wondering if the said aliases can be used/invoke programmatically? If yes, then how, what is the syntax? TIA. Btw, I could run it via sktools...

Autorun management on Android Lollipop

Ever since updating my Nexus 5 to Android 5.0, I've found that you can't manage startup. I tried Clean Master, Autostarts, and Autorun Manager, but none of them works.
Please assist me in finding a solution. Thanks.
Anybody? Well, can the "Autorun" in the thread title be changed to "Startup" at least?

you can use app ops, the lastest version can do that
Do you mean the one by Lars Team? I just tried that, but disabling an autostart doesn't stick, it's enabled again when I recheck.

Yeah, the settings don't stick for me either, at least the auto start.

you can use this app to remove the permissions and it does not require root too..

Does that manage startup entries? Doesn't look like it, and App Ops seem to manage permissions fine.
Greenify?

You can remove the unnecessary permissions like boot with the phone...
Greenify is an option, but I'd rather not depend on another running process... Oh well, have to make do with it for now.
Just tried APK Permission Remover. It requires you to uninstall, then reinstall the app. Too much trouble keeping up-to-date.
Simply deactivate the app.

Just flash Pie Patch
you should just flash the pie patch via recovery, it solves a lot of the problems root apps have in lollipop, including the startup one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/development/fix-bypassing-pie-security-check-t2797731
Sounds risky and unclear, maybe someone else can try?

I agree, you should try it first, let us know how it goes...
What do you know, they just started working again for me... Didn't patch anything, just updated normally.
Autostarts has been updated to support lollipop.
Kingroot, but its also do more than I need.
