Guest cacoe Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Just wondered if there's a way to disable apps from starting up by default. I've tried an app from the market to do it and it has to run every time I reboot. Annoying, and a little hypocritical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest targetbsp Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Autostarts. It doesn't need to be running itself and it can disable apps starting from the dozens of different events that can trigger app startup - not just phone boot.

Guest cacoe Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 (edited) Thanks. It's quite mental just how many ways an app could be launched in the background without you even knowing about it. btw, theres quite a few instances of duplicates for the same tigger. Is it safe to disable just one of them? For example, on 'after start' I have 'gmail' in there twice for some reason.

Guest targetbsp Posted February 19, 2011 Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 I don't think so. I don't have gmail installed but if you click them you'll see at the bottom that they are in fact different. For instance, google services framework appears 4 times. But it is 4 different things: checkinservice eventlogservice serviceautostarter systemupdateservice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
