[Q] prevent apps running at startup? - Galaxy S I9000 General

This is probably a simple to answer question, but I have been trying to prevent certain apps from starting and just cannot find a way . . Anyone help . . ?

If you'd have used the search function, you'd have seen my previous reply a few days ago to the last person who started an exact same thread.
SEARCH the market.

you can use autostarts for that. but it's a paid app.

I did a quick search, but I was looking for a way of doing it without going thro the market . .

I also found "Autostarts" - "Startup Manager" and "Autorun killer" . . thanks again anyway . . so I guess there is no way to do it than through another App huh . ?

Do you have problems downloading apps, or do you just prefer not to use one?
S.U.R.F.A.C.E 2.something

I have no issues on downloading apps, I was (am) trying not to have even more apps than I need . . I am trying to extend battery life as much as possible. I am fully rooted with TIB as the most useful addition where I am always experimenting in freezing system apps that are mostly useless to my needs - so far over 25 with no issues. Hence the search for (within) a way to stop at startup . .

Yeah, been looking for the same solution , Autostarts doesn't have all listed. For example, Gun Bros starts some kind of service at startup , but it's not listed. I really wonder why do devs put those kind of services on startup that aren't needed.

Market no showing a lot of apps

Hey guys all of a sudden the app marker is not showing a lot of apps. I search for apps I know that are there like Rom manager but the search comes up empty.
Any help? I think this happened around the time the new market was released and my phone updated to it.

Ya i hear you, i can't for the life of me figure out what it is, but ever since my brother and i bought the vibrant at the same time he had google earth in the market an i don't... Anyways, my workaround has been if i can't find an app i need i ask for help here. But a more self sustaning method is to search android apps on a torrent website like pirate bay . org or bt junkie. If you have anything specific in mind i could probably help ya
get appbrain, then search for apps there, and it'll redirect you to the market, which it SHOULD be in there.
I managed to fix it. I installed the new market app and force stopped it in the manage applications settings and cleared the cached data amd rebooted.

[Q] Installed apps keep disappearing from market

Hey there,
all my downloaded apps keep on dissapearing from the list of installed/downloaded apps inside the market.
Don't get me wrong, they are still on my system and I can use them, just the market thinks they would not be installed.
I am on Virtuous 0.9 and done no restoring of apps or what so ever.
I did a backup a few days ago with Titanium but that can't be the cause, because they keep on dissapearing....
I can go to the market and just install the apps. They will download and install just as normal. And for some time they will just stay in the list of "my apps"...
But at some point (totaly random to me, maybe after some other apps I istalled or so) the list is almost empty... sometimes with one or two entries left of the most recently installed apps.
I know I can reassociate apps with the market with Titanium (well need the donate version...) but I don't know if it helps me, because the list keeps on dissapearing and I don't want to spend money on something that does not help
Does anyone know a solution for this problem? I don't want to reassociate all the time.
(Also tried to open the market database in an sqlite browser... well but failed, is there something to decrypt or anything I have to do in order to open it?)
Well thanks for any advice,

For all of your questions about the T-Mobile G2 and HTC Desire Z
Oh well sorry
Was browsing the false forum, when I desperatly pushed the post button...
Won't happen again.
Okay I typed it, it gave me the message that I am checked in...
Now will the apps stay in my market? Hope it worked but I can't really verify it because it hapens so arbitrary.
Thanks anyway and I hope it's done...
And... well could someone move the post?
It's like a shame

well the android market been acting up recently according to engadget, perhaps thats the problem?
I am having the same problem occasionally. Installing ANY new app seems to solve this for me.
Rather annoying though.
A restart usually solves the problem for me. I dont bother anynore though. As long as my apps are installed on the phone, I couldnt care less if it shows up in myapps or not.
Same issue here...
Just spent a better part of an hour redownloading and installing most of the apps back to wake up this morning to them not there anymore...
I guess my only care would be getting the updates...otherwise doesn't matter.

You may have a different problem if you have to keep downloading and installing applications. When my apps disappear from myapps and i search for them in the marketplace, it always shows installed which prevents me from downloading and installing the app again
Maybe time for a wipe then...:/
Sent from my HTC Vision using XDA App
Well I think my problem is the same as huh28's...
And I thought of a wipe as well...
But since my initial post, no app dissapeared. Maybe it was the checkin, maybe it was the markets fault as Beagan mentioned (but I did not encounter other symptoms like the ones at engadged with the android market website).
But if it keeps that way, I'll never now... but well that would be great!
But as an exchange I lost my message-database couple of days ago... that's an other story, but a thought crossed my mind, if it could be related and could have something to do with the sqlite in the background. I'll keep an eye on that, but it's kind of hard to track...
i had the same problem but i went into the recovery and deleted the cache and davlik cache and restarted the phone and all the apps were back again!
maybe that will help you too.

[Q] ' Maps' won't close

Hey guys, sorry if this has been posted before (I'm sure it has, but trust me, I've looked for it). Every time I check the battery option in android it shows that ' maps' is using the largest part of my battery. I've tried signing in and out of latitude within the app, just like the numerous threads on the internet suggest, but still no luck. All options related to sync or automatic updating have been disabled. Can anyone shed some light on why I can't get maps to close?
Same here, I just uninstallrd it , I need a fix

[Q] List of apps that can be uninstalled/disabled safely

Hi,
May i know what is the list of applications to uninstall/disable for SM-G900F (S5) ? Cause i see that there are a lot of default apps in it... and they seem pretty useless to me so i am not sure if uninstalling it might cause problem for the phone..
And this is a noob question, i see that 'Google search' uses the most data for my phone so i was wondering if i could stop/uninstall the feature.. o.o or if there are other ways to do it..
Thank you.

There are quite a few existing threads that answer all of your questions.
Search for "bloat" or "debloat" regarding apps safe to remove. Or just see what was removed in the description of a custom ROM e.g. the S5 Phoenix ROM.
And there have been threads on taming Google now to conserve battery and reduce data use. Look in my post history if a regular search doesn't easily find them for you.

Google App Keeps Crashing-FIX

hey guys
i have a 5t rooted and today i was checking some apps and after sometime i found out that google app keeps crashing
Google app never opens . I was ON BETA program so i thought it might be due to that . SO i rolled back to stable but still the app crashes
when i checked all i did was made a parallel account for Whatsapp.
So , when i checked for solutions i found out that its the culprit.
so heres a fix i found out somewhere , and it works on Oneplus 5t confirmed by me .
1. connect yor phone to the pc with USB debugging on
2.Start ADB in your PC
type adb shell pm list users
Now remove the Parallel App user from your device:
type adb shell pm remove-user 999
This hot-fix will remove all your parallel apps and its data so be careful!.....
YOU HAVE TO SWITCH ON THE ASSISTANT AGAIN to get it working on command .
ALL THANKS TO paritosh9199.:good:
If you want the parallel apps and Google to work together ,I suggest you uninstall all the updates of Google app .
It will work fine with parallel apps and wait for Google to release the update !
Will it work for non-rooted users also? Any other way to fix it as I don't want to remove the parallel apps?
Why is this issue happening only in oneplus phones? I have sent the devs logs 2 times but no action has been taken. Never ever a op phone again.
Can you please confirm if Bing is showing news feed in your phone or not?

Bing is working well for me
I don't know if this works on non rooted . Why don't you try it and tell me !
I have no idea why this is happening on OnePlus phones .
What I told you is a hot fix , more over our phone is outdated. Devs don't care about us anymore . Yah I know Q . But that will be the end of it ! If you want you can wait for the Google to fix it ...
Otherwise , uninstall all the updates of Google app . It will go back to the old version and it will work fine with parallel apps .
That will be the best choice for you until the Google releases the fix !
Weird , its not working for Bing here too. Have tried in different 5t's.
Even if I buy a new op, expect regular updates for 6 months only. Then a new phone or the T version will release and this cycle will continue. They took 2 months to fix the last bug. This is the only os which always has weird and tons of bugs.
Uninstalling updates didn't help.
Google has nothing to do with it, issue is with op.

Un installing the updates worked well for me actually !
But I didn't care about parallel app so I did what I wrote .
And everything works like a charm for me .
May be you should root it and fix it !
