I was wondering if there is a way to keep all of these damn stock programs from auto starting and running in the background? I downloaded Advance task killer and I always seem tons of crap running I did not start.
Would the only fix be to flash a new ROM on it?
I dont mess too much with task killers, but I believe some can autokill apps that you specify when they start running. You can also remove apps completely via command line if you don't use them at all.
autostarts. it's .99 in the market.
Alright. But nothing free huh? haha. Even after I kill it, some of the programs will still start up in an hour or so.

are the programs that keep popping up necessary?
If not, remove via command line or be willing to taskkill it, if it bothers you.
also, autostarts has different environment variables (start up, connection changed, usb plugged in, etc.) to specify when to kill what apps (I'm not pimpin it, I'm just sayin its a good program)
Oh. Maybe I'll get it, I mean its only 99 cents I have to figure out how to buy apps. Thanks though.
autostarts I can not find

I looked on the net, but I can not find the program. Can you link it?
I now use "ProcessKiller alias HTCDlg_killer" on my HTC TP2, but I do not see any killing.
Thanx in advance.

Some applications are SUPPOSED to be running all the time. Others the phone starts up so that their response time is better.
Arbitrarily killing applications is a sure-fire way to crash the phone. If you can be bothered to provide a list of what you see, someone can advise you what to leave alone.

no prob
is there an app or a setting akin to windows' startup manager that anybody knows about and actually recommends?
would be nice to be able to decide which apps and widgets startup on boot, instead of having to go in and close things manually

I use Startup Auditor by vesperaNovus. It gives you the option to keep things from loading at Startup and/or force kill them always. No root access required.

Please see Google Android issue 14889
in the the process of debloating
can we have a list of what each apk does exactly so that we can customize our debloating ... data about unnecessary apps are contradictory sometimes and/or incomplete
I haven't deleted them from the phone, but simply disabled some of their SamsungLINK, SamsungON, Story board apps from starting/running.

Settings> more> application manager> All
Then just go through and disable them. Once disabled they appear at the very bottom of the list

I've seen a lot of threads about this but I can't quite seem to understand them. I switched from an iPhone and they have tweaks and such. Now I know Android is more open and more possibilities but I can't quite find a guide of some sort for my s4. I mean, is there a list of the most popular things to do on a rooted s4? Essential tweaks? Any recommendations? What I mean is that I'd like to customize my device without having to change the entire rom. I think I said that right.. lol.
Thanks in advance!
Start with xposed framework and all the various modules. Also definitely check out Wanam in the play store.
Thank You!

Cool, also check out Viper audio, it is amazing, just set ui to expert and check their thread for an explanation of the settings.

Can you use the XPOSED framework with the stock TouchWiz rom using 4.4.2?
In terms of customization I do:
1. Root the phone. I use root to get extra functionality out of a few apps.
2. Disable or Uninstall bloatware.
3. Download Apex Launcher [Free] and setup my homescreen with some basic gestures. I only use one homescreen with a calendar widget and 6 icons.
4. Download Better Battery Stats [Free/ROOT] from XDA so that I understand how my battery is being affected.
5. Download LMT Launcher [Free/ROOT] from XDA so that I can simply use PIE to control/navigate with my phone easily.
6. Download Llama [Free] or Tasker [Paid] or both for automation and doing custom tasks.
7. Download AirDroid [Free/ROOT] for a wireless way of managing my phone, needs root for special features.
8. Download AdAway (not sure where to get this, I forgot) but it will help stop ads in apps/games and more.
9. Download Light Manager [Free] to change the LED colour for events like charging, charged, text message, email and more.
10. Change how all notifications appear, have a look at Floatifications [Tria/Paid] and there are many others.
I find that the customization of Android depends on what you find to be annoying and inefficient, therefore I change it.
I personally think LMT Launcher to get access to PIE is the absolute best way to navigate and control your phone or tablet.
Think about themes for your phone, at least for the homescreen, I like dark icons and a dark wallpaper because when I use my phone at night it is really easy on the eyes. However certain apps don't have a night/dark mode and instead a white background and that's annoying.
Just to reiterate, think of something you dislike about how Android works and change it. There's literally an app to customize anything and majority of them are free.
Good luck!

Yes, if you're rooted it will work.

You are like me, you want to mod your phone while keeping stock ROM intact. Well, head on over to the Google Play store and download Wanam Xposed. You need the Xposed framework installed to use it though. Wanam enables you have a scrolling background, CRT off animation, change or hide the battery icon, etc.
Keep 'em coming!
I really appreciate all the replies!
But I typically want to keep the stock system.
May be hard to believe but I actually like TouchWiz UI. Lol.
But all suggestions are considered. Thanks again to everyone!
Hi,
Everything is in the title : How to handle Auto-start permissions in OOs 4.5.3 ?
I didn't find a menu for that.
With my old phone, I used to use Bootmanager, but without Xposed I can't use it anymore.
Any piece of advice ?
BR
I would like to know this as well, memory management (start up/background use/keep awake) is huge in controlling battery life.
I need Xposed for 3 apps: Boot Manager, GravityBox, and YouTube AdAway...
So, no option in OOs ?

Thank you. I'm using SuperSU PRO... will check if magisk can run with it together...
LBE Security Master can handle Autostarts perfectly. I use it to control permissions and for autoboot on my OP5. Rest of options I've switched off. Works like a charm. If you need APK just PM me.
You need root (of course)

I'm interested, is it an English versoin ?
There are large threads about this program here on XDA. For me this is an understandable piece of software. I found others too complicated or PMP (Xposed) that didn't work on my Sony Z3 Dual.
LBE does this job. Download from XDA or send me pm for apk.
Has anyone figured this out?
I vaguely remember seeing the option in settings - apps - cog - auto start in an earlier version of OOS?
Is this removed or moved somewhere else?
OnePlus 5 apparently has a new feature of auto starting apps based on usage, but that seems to be a load of *@#! cos none of my most used apps launch on boot
The option still exist but you cannot access it through settings.
If you're an Alarmy user, the app give you prompt to that page whenever you confirm an alarm setup (interestingly).
If you don't, you can download JOneplus tool from play store which also can lead you to that page (by force touching the app)
And no, I'm not affiliated with either or both of the above apps in any ways.
If you use nova launcher you can create an activity to point to manage centre where you can see the auto start apps, however it does not work at all for me but your mileage may vary.
I use the app Autostarts which works perfectly

Replaced this app with Apex Shortcuts (may not be exactly the same label as I translated them from French :angel :
- Shortcuts / Activities / Management Center / Application Auto-start (.chainlaunch.view.ChainLaunchAppListActivity)
- Shortcuts / Activities / Management Center / Hibernation Application Parameters (.cleanBackground.view.ManageBackgroundAppListActivity)
If someone can provide me the real label in English, I'll update OP

So tried this for the last few days, but looks like it doesn't seem to have any effect?
I have apps like LMT, greenify, ex kernel manager set to start at boot and settings in the above and other apps but they don't seem to start up or apply the settings. In fact the toggle in LMT even gets turned off at boot and have to manually get into any of the apps and restart them.
I am assuming the others don't see this misbehavior? Do you have aggressive doze and/or doze turned off?
