Hi, are there any good apps/method that blocks apps from autostarting?
Try Startup Manager by IMOBLIFE INC. on the play store. I've used it in the past, but Marshmallow is pretty optimized. Do you have a rogue app chewing away at your battery?

is it likely Iwill run into any issues if i use both play store apps and amazon apps? noticed the other day amazon wanted to update an app i got from play.. or maybe it was the other way round!

You won't run into any problems. If the Google Play store wants to update one of your Amazon apps... do it! It gets updates weeks ahead of Amazon and is generally the better store. It'll also allow all your newly converted Google apps (aka update via Play) to update automatically... something Amazon lacks. Just don't allow the Amazon store to update via Play. The Play version is slower...
ah ok. i have disabled any automatic updates through amazon app store. amazon still wants to update netflix and skype. may remove the amazon stuff. only thing i will miss is the free daily app.
also noticed that go store wants to update my tvchatup app and the rootcheckbasic app..

You could just keep both. I use mostly the Play store with Amazon being used for the occasional free daily app. As I mentioned before, it's generally best to let your apps update through Google Play.
ok thanks, will do. keep turning amazon app updates and use play

I'm in urgent need of some space, and as I've stripped a lot of system apps out I have moved a load of store apps to system. Is this OK? They work fine.

As long as nothing else is broken, you're fine.

I was wondering if there is a way other than either disabling or freezing system apps. If I remove them, it causes settings to fc. This has held true since the 4.4 update. I usually always get ride of apps to free up more space, RAM, ect...

As I know you can only disable system apps(as I do) but they are still there and without root you can not completely delete or modify system apps, which is basicly leaves you with a custom rom.
If it's force closing when you disable them then the best thing you can do is just install a custom Rom and kernel. If you like stock then I suggest Nexus 5 Experience with Franco kernel.
I use an app called systemapp remover. In 4.3, maybe theres an update.

You can use any file explorer(Solid File Explorer) to uninstall system apps. Titanium Backup to freeze them.
Hey guys sorry for not responding sooner. The problem is that I am rooted and running a custom ROM. There are still certain thing I get ride of (NFC, or calendar storage for example) that I just never use. I've tried on stock, PSX, and Purity with the same results. Remember I'm uninstalling them not freezing or disabling.

Try uninstaling foreign keyboards , wallpapers e.t.c. Also I have 100mb+ of system space free so I guess your phone is similar so why do you need more. I can understand deleting system apps to get more free ram and space on cheap budget phone's with little of both. The likelihood of you needing to free up either on this phone is slim at best my guess never. Just my thoughts as I am interested in why your doing this.

Honestly, I just always have. I have about the same free space as you. I just like having the option of taking the things off of my phone that I don't want on there. What if I did want bone stock, I would be stuck with all that bloat wear. I just always considered it as one of the reasons for rooting your phone.

I know where you're coming from as its something I have always done until getting this phone. Don't no what the problem is as all apps I uninstall have been o.k. I always freeze first to make sure there's no surprises then uninstall. You could try greenify from play and put them to sleep if having problems. That said I have no answer to you're specific problem.
Just keep them if its causing problems and enjoy you're phone knowing it can handle the extra unwanted apps.
You could always flash a vanilla android rom ( there's a few about ) with banks minimum gapps and that should do the trick. Just install the apps you need

Yeah, I'm running Purity with the very minimal banks gapps and the system apps I don't use disabled. It doesn't really bother me. I had asked the same question when 4.4 was first released and I guess figured there was a work around by now. No biggy. Thanks for your incite:thumbup:

A lot of people seem unaware of this and keep telling me that they can't greenify google play services and other system apps because they are running ART.
I'm running ART as well. I used this little app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.j4velin.systemappmover to convert play services, search and maps, amongst others, to user apps. After that, I could just greenify them. The apps still work, and are just greenified automatically when the screen is off for a few minutes. As you can see below, there are no more wakelocks!

These are the apps i have greenified. It now drains nearly nothing over night (0-1%)

Nice tips! Thanks a lot.
Although I though the restriction was related to being System Apps and not ART itself?

Not exactly. Rooted + Dalvik runtime + Xposed Framework + paid version of Greenify will give the ability to hibernate system apps. Otherwise, you do need to make the system apps user apps like Arthedes pointed out. You could also do the same thing manually with any file manger, if rooted.
So, Xposed framework is now ART compatible?

I beleive so. I'm not really certain. You should check the xposed main thread on xda. i think I saw it there a few weeks ago.

Cheers for the tips
So I would like to get rid of all the Samsung apps from the phone and stop the background services that aren't needed through titanium backup.
Is it possible to make a list? I removed the ones I recongnise, but I'm sure there are others as android system is consistently on top of my battery usage.
