What you're asking about technically isn't freezing the app, but changing it's autorun settings. When you freeze an app, you can't run it at all.
I have experienced the same frustration. I found an app called Gemini App Manager that has the ability to change an app's autorun settings. It's in the market. I haven't been using it for long enough to tell you how well it works.
What!? 9 months isn't that old... I found the thread by doing a search... Now, if someone else finds the thread, at least there's an answer
try link2sd,it's free from the market or just uninstall the app u dnt like lol

link2sd can freeze apps, but it can't do what the original poster wanted... prevent an app from starting automatically, but still allow it to run on demand.
everytime i update a new app, it always ask if i want to store it in my sd card..but i don't have one! it's internal memory. is there a way to fix this?
Do you have any file manager app installed? I have seen them ask where you want to install. The OS itself should not ask unless there is an option that I have not seen.

i have astro installed..would that be it? but i use it to browse for files and what not.
I just checked out the app in the market and a new feature is app to sd which is what I was referring too. Check your options in Astro to either set a perm default or disable the feature all together.

i cant seem to find this feature in the settings.
There are other apps that enable you to move most apps to sd card that generate such notifications. Perhaps google that and/or search for such apps in market and see if you have any of them installed. Also, check any app you have installed that has "app" as part of its name.
great! Found out it was Super Manager. Thanks!
Need some help. I've installed a speedometer app (switch that lights up the console in my truck went bad) and am having trouble getting rid of the icons in the app drawer. So far I've tried to reinstall the app and uninstall it with no luck. It doesn't show up in titanium after uninstalling the app. I can't find an apk after uninstalling the app. Any help?
What app? Can you back into the play store and install it that way?

Sorry. Forgot details. Locked bootloader, rooted running gpe ROM thru safestrap. Digihud speedometer is the app spedo app
I could upgrade nova launcher or use another launcher to hide the problem. And I would go insane knowing I didn't fix it.

Interesting app, it looks cool but it really f'd up my device. I could uninstall it with tibu but it left something behind. Do you have a nandroid you can restore? Do a wipe before restoring the nandroid. That was the only way I got my device back to normal

Hi, developer here
Hi guys, ok this is something I've not seen whilst testing it on the few physical devices I have and in the emulator. I'm not sure what's happening here but obviously I'm keen to help if I can.
The app has two main parts, the full screen display and a windowed view that is shown in front of other apps, the latter runs as a service. Both parts have settings in the manifest to enable them to be launched from icons and two icons are created when the app is installed. Whenever I've uninstalled the app both icons have been removed from the app drawer. My devices are mostly but not all rooted.
Feedback has been mixed about whether two icons are needed; some people don't want the window icon and ask how it can be removed, others like it so they can call it with other apps like AutomateIt. Because the majority of feedback was against it I've removed it from the paid version of the app...but now there are requests to have it again. Hopefully my solution will be to be able to install a shortcut if required.
Sorry, back to your problem! I'm surprised TIBU doesn't remove it if I'm honest, although the Android uninstall should remove it all. There's nothing unusual or malicious in the code (i'm really not that clever!) to prevent it uninstalling.
If a link to a particular version of the .apk helps let me know and I'll post it if I can.
I'll do some more testing and see what I can find and post anything useful here.
Sorry for the hassle.

Would a catlog help in troubleshooting the issue. As JD said it is an interesting app. The HUD display works great (very clever idea there), but I want to be able to remove that icon. I like to keep my app drawer paired down to as few apps as possible and that one icon sticks out to me.

I totally understand. The logcat may well help me see what's up.
Thanks.

Got this on my phone running 4.4.2 and its the weather theme Lookout says. Anyone have a solution to this? I cannot remove the app it wont uninstall. I dont think disable would work would it?
What weather theme? Phones don't usually need antivirus like lookout. You're probably fine if it is a system app and it's bundled with the phone.
Anyone else having issues disabling the pre-installed T-Mobile apps? The disable button is greyed out when I go into "app manager" then when I connect to the DeBloatware program it tells me my device is Blocked. No applications actually show up on the app list either in DeBloatware (besides one - T-mobile auto start program). I unlocked my bootloader thinking it may help but it did nothing for this venture. Coming from the N6P I'm really not liking the fact that I just paid as much as I did for a phone that has T-mobile all over it... Even the start up screen pisses me off.

You went into the "app manager" to do so correct? I don't get why it's greyed out for me... I have never had the problems I'm having with this phone on any other Android device when it comes to disabling or uninstalling carrier apps...
This is what I'm seeing when I go into app info for the bloatware...

Even though the process might be different from different launchers wouldn't the result be the same? I'm using the Google Now launcher & would think that it would allow me to disable the T-mobile app regardless of launcher app... or am I completely wrong?
If you can't disable the app, kill its permissions. It does pretty much the same thing. That's how I got T-Mobile apps to stop using the battery.

Yeah, I'm going to have to go this route but I would love to know why some people can simply disable the app & on my system it is completely greyed out...

It may be carrier specific.

I was wrong, the Tmobile app is the only one I couldn't get off the phone.
I know with Samsung I could use package disabler pro and was able to end the process and get it frozen
What I did is diable all permissions, revoke background data from the app, cleared cached and uninstalled all updates. Then don't open that app again and turn off autp update in the play store

Copy that... I want to be able to just disable the bloat like I should be able to, considering Android is open source & should be able to be customized. I purposely don't buy Applesauce phones because I like being able to tweak everything to my liking... What happened to the Android I fell in love with???
Has anybody on the T-Mobile LG V20 tried connecting their device to the DeBloater program? I'm curious if anyone else is getting the "Your device does not allow blocking" notification when connecting your phone...
Follwing.

Package Disabler for LGMobile is available in play store
Have you tried SD Maid Pro yet? I used that on my Sprint variant and was able to disable anything I wanted. Be advised, some of the apps are integrated into other apps within framework and could cause issues with apps you want to use still.
