How to stop apps from restarting

Hello,
Not sure if this is possible in Android but, can you kill/exit for good an android app?
I keep using Adv Task Killer but the damn apps keep on restarting after killed...can anyone advise? Its driving me nuts! I liked that tweak in winmo where you long press x and the program is gone for good.
Thanks for enlightening me!

No one knows the solution?

Startup Auditor
I donwnloaded a program called Startup Auditor from the market. It will allow you to disable a program on startup and keep it diabled.
I also deleted the Footprints app (useless) by getting the root explorer app (costs money) that will allow you to delete the app. This is the only explorer I have found that will let you uninstall pre-installed apps.
**BE CAREFUL** removing some apps like Friendstream, mail, messages, etc could mess up your phone, because they are tied into the system.
Google it thats how I figured it out.

Search in market for developer "Gpc". They have a tool called SuperManager for free with great functions such as Root Explorer. In market you will find it with a desktopsymbol icon and japanese letters! no worrys.. whole app can be set to english :d Second entry i think if you search for Gpc. No need to pay for rootexplorer root/data/app/ think there are the apps like footprints you want to deinstall/delete
attached it

This always happens, the easiest way to do it is just to go the manage application in the settings and force the close, the app should not restart after this regardless what the task killer says. Some apps will restart too if you have background data on within the background.
Hope this helps.

I use autostarts. Its capable of stopping the app from loading during boot, and you can block recurring starts through the options. Easy to use. Click on app then disable. It will boot if you run the app, but will not autorun on startup.

You should NOT USE any app killers the are bad for the battery and the memory dont even install them. Next time you update or change your build leave the app killers out like the DEV intended or they would have added 1 for you

Stop looking at the running apps list. Problem solved. If them sitting in that list worries you then uninstall the app. Android isn't winmo, having apps sitting in that list is nothing to worry about.

Apps running and cannot not be killed

I have Skyraider 2.5.2 with Advanced Task Killer installed. I use the Advanced Task Killer widget on my homescreen for quick task killing. However, ever since I rooted and installed leaked roms, apps like The Weather Channel, Google Maps and Sykpe Mobile keep coming back after being killed. I don't even run those apps that much. I've played with Task Killer setting and still cannot get the apps to stay dead. Any suggestions for getting rid of zombie apps?

If you don't use them,, uninstall them

That would make sense, however I like to have the weather channel app on occasion and the Google Maps I use frequently. It just starts running even if I have not used it in a while.

I use taskpanel and it does a pretty a good job.

android does a good job at handling tasks auto, I don't use a task killer par say, but I do have astro, and will occasionally kill certain apps when I know I won't be using them, say market if I know I wont be using it for hours.

The reason they keep starting back up is because either an app you are running uses them, or an event has changed on your phone.
Events include:
Booting.
Market installs
Location changes
Uninstalls
Enabling BT/wifi
Phone calls
data syncing
You would do well to purchase autostarts from the market to see how to control this, and learn more about the OS in the process.

I had a similar issue, if you can uninstall the app and reinstall from the market. This should solve the autostart problem

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

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.

Is it possible to run to Facebook apps at the same time?

I'm creating an app with facebook functionality and I originally thought fb was blocking the friends list. Now that I can see that isnt the case its even worse. With FB for android installed on my phone, it will not even get past the onComplete method. I have to completely uninstall the main app for mine to work.
Does anyone know if the fb app has something running in the background that my app can't get access to. Or am I missing some kind of user permission?
I will post code when I get home but looking for suggestions

I would think the easiest way to go about this would be to run it on the emulator or maybe you could try to freeze the app using titanium backup. Then see if you still have the problem once the app is frozen.

Uninstall ATK, don't check your running apps and stop worrying.

If you dont want it to run...turn off finding location using phone signal in the settings menu..i accidently found this out while looking for the cause of my high battery drain.
Anyway it just runs for a very short while and just sits there sleeping..nothing to worry about.
+1 on not using ATK
