Hello,
I have several apps that I use randomly or only want them to connect when I decide to. One of them is Viber that prevents wifi going to sleep mode.
I tried several apps but no one worked.
Viber app + service always start on boot and I have to exit manually to stay offline
I use a combination of LBE, Juice Defender and Titanium Backup to control apps and preserve battery life. TB is very good since it lets you control services. All these apps are on the Market. Hope this helps.

I'm running CM7 and I'm happy with how it performs compared to stock rom. I see improvement in battery and memory usage. So that's good.
However, some apps like facebook, maps, tango etc still appear to become active in the background.
Is there an application which will easily let me manage rights for every app I have on the device? I dont want to freeze them, just change their permissions so they never do anything unless I intentionally start an app.
When I was on stock ROM i tried an app killer with auto kill. So i'd kill apps that were displayed. Check back a few minutes later and everything was back running again..
So to sum up..a good app manager that works nicely with CM7?
Edit: i found something called privacy blocker but I think that wont let me prevent apps from running by themselves....
Edit-2: Nevermind, its not going to work I think...reading this made me realise that some apps me be terminated at start-up, but preventing from booting at a later point is near impossible. Too bad. http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=14889
Just ignore them, Android knows how to manage it's RAM effectively.
If you won´t use some apps, use TitaniumBackup (from Market) and freeze apps you are never using.
So i just installed the O3D leaked Rom on my Thrill last night. i noticed this morning that there were 9 apps open. i stopped all, and they were open again within 5 minutes. i froze some of them, but some are apps i use occasionally, but i dont always want them open.
Any ideas on how to keep these apps from opening automatically??
Its just a part of how Linux manages memory. It doesn't necessarily affect performance, but if it makes you feel better, you can install autostarts and disable states at which those apps start.

I checked that out and I'm kind of scared to turn some of these off. My main reason for wanting to cut these off is because the battery is dead in 4 hours. This started happening after the gb update. Do you have any suggestions to increase batt life? I already have gps and bt disabled.
Juice defender for one. Instead of a task killer, use autokiller and use one of the presets like aggressive. Autostarts again, sort by app, and disable all of the crap for all events. Turn wifi sleep to when screen is off. If you have a bunch of google accounts syncing, turn off the sync for the services you dont us or need in account and sync settings. Should help quite a bit. Oh, remove unnecessary widgets especially fb and google search (lots of resources, its weid). Remove apps you dont use.

I have an LG Thrill running O3D gb 21a rooted. I have noticed the same issue.
I installed super manager(search in app market) and turned on the auto memory cleanup. Now everytime I lock my phone and unlock it,I have about 250mb free memory.
I have a few apps running in the background all the time. Facebook and blood and glory mainly. Is there a way to delete them for good? On Facebook I set it that no notifications and never refresh, and its still using up 12mb. Same with blood and glory. Any way to kill them for good? Is there an app maybe? Thanks.
Well, mainly in android apps have 4 components.
Two of those are Activities and Services.
The activities have UI, you can activate and use it. The services doesn't have UI since they are hidden. You can't Activate them manually and their purpse is to open the app fast. Deleting the app is the best way you can use a task manager to close them.
Advanced Task Killer, for example, has the ability to set timer for RAM clearing, you can set it to whenever you lock your screen.
if i helped you, hit the thanks button
Another way for ram.
I think of the amount of memory (ram) have effected to play game or run any application smoothly.
So If you use kernel Semaphore 2.7.4(GB) or 1.2.0 (ICS) there are choices for big memory to run application smoothly.
I want to kill an app like Facebook, and then I don't want it to run in the background after I close the app. When I kill the process , after aboit 10 seconds it goes on again!
Anyone!?
Anyone 2x?
use advanced task manager.or delete the facebook app and install fbm.it does not run in the background
I've found an useful article about Task killer apps:
Being a new member, I cannot post outside link.
Search for: Task killer apps What they do, and why you shouldn't use them ->
Autostarts
There is an app on android market called Autostarts, it's an amazing app i've used it for over a year now and never had any problems. what it does it stops apps like facebook from starting up automaticly and keeps the app fully closed until you choose to launch it. Same goes for any other app which you choose to disable from auto-starting by itself. This is why Autostarts is so much better than say a normal task killer because apps closed by task killers restart themselves a few minutes later so your just running round in circles trying to keep the app closed probably eating up more battery trying to close it every 5 minutes than if you just left the app alone, where as with autostarts you dissable the app once then thats it it wont start until you tell it to, perfect!
Autostart sounds quite good
I'd also recommend using titanium backup to freeze the app, unfreeze when you want it and then freeze when you dont.
Autostart probably sounds like the easier option, no need to keep freezing and unfreezing, but knowing about titanium backup and freezing apps doesn't hurt
Inspite of killing all applications by task manager or task killer programs and keeping the phone idle for say 1 minute ie without using it, when open the task killer, again some applications are there. what I would like to know is after killing the applications unless I start an application, applications stay killed. I tried periodic killing also.
Most of the apps are "listening" for specific system events, which cause them to perform some actions, killing such apps (e.g. using task killers) to save battery is counterproductive, cause in the end your device will consume more battery due to constant killing-restarting cycle.
To manage the problem you could use one of the two apps (maybe there's more, don't know), Autorun Manager or Autostarts, both available in market. Using either of those two you can disable the events causing apps to restart, usually without damaging their functionality - for example, if you want to use fb only when you need it, you can disable all triggers, and the app we'll run only when started by you, and will not restart when killed.
According to android its how memory management works.
It always loads it in memory. Its just there and works differently then windows where it eats your resources

I use auto starts and it really helped me in naughty apps that insist on running after boot. Culprits are usually games and such.

here is my preferred set of apps for the rooted phone
1. Avast Security: Firewall to block certain apps from accessing the internet! And general protection.
2. NoBloat Free: Used in removing the above mentioned apps. Helps to safely backup the apk file and delete it so that we can restore them back later if the need arises.
3. ROM Toolbox Lite: Could be used for many a purpose. But at present I use it to block the ads and prevent autorun services.
4. GSam Battery Monitor: Monitoring battery stats.
5. DS Battery Saver: - My phone never went into deep sleep. With this app it forced the CPU to enter deep sleep whenever screen goes off.
6. LagFix Free: Just like defragmentation in Windows system. Increases read speed of SD card
7. Clean Master: Great task killer, cache cleaner and history wiper. I use it to kill apps on screen off.
8. One Power Guard: Underclock my CPU to certain range. AI mode automatically switches profile. Helps in quicker charging of the battery and also in safe cleaning battery draining background apps.

Uninstall Master remove all for me ... T Y Guys
If you really want to disable all that i think you are gonna miss some things.. !
Don't uninstall com.lge.internal or your widgets break and everything goes retarded.
uninstalling one or more of these has severe negative side effects. freezing does nothing negative to your comp, but uninstalling totaly borked my phone, wouldn't even boot up.

dude read the post it say my list f Freeze app no the list to uninstall
If i may add some other apps to this list.
You can also use "SetCPU" (if you don't use "ROM Toolbox" it underclocks the CPU (to what you set it to) to save battery power

Use "Root Firewall" instead, anti-virus apps prove very little need on android, so why use a very resource hogging anti-virus app to manage your firewall.
2. NoBloat Free: Used in removing the above mentioned apps. Helps to safely backup the apk file and delete it so that we can restore them back later if the need arises.
Use "Root Uninstaller instead. In my opinion better looks and more options in one app
3. ROM Toolbox Lite: Could be used for many a purpose. But at present I use it to block the ads and prevent autorun services.
4. GSam Battery Monitor: Monitoring battery stats.
If you just wan't to monitor wakelocks, you can use "Wakelock Detector" instead too.
5. DS Battery Saver: - My phone never went into deep sleep. With this app it forced the CPU to enter deep sleep whenever screen goes off.
Very good and handy app

Thanks for the list. Here's a tiny glitch I've noticed while deleting these apps (yes, I deleted them). My phone (LG Optimus L4 II E440) worked perfectly, booted with no problems whatsoever, all of the functions were normal except that my home button led was constantly on. I've tried re-flashing it and then removed the apps, but unfortunately with the same consequences. When I restored "LGSystemServer" the glitch somehow disappeared: I have no idea whether it was somehow related to the removal of the abovementioned app, just thought it would be interesting to mention. Thanks.
