some apps just turn on by itself. some apps will eventually close itself after a period of time,thats android. the best way to prevent that is by freezing the apps when u dont use them. u can freeze an app using titanium backup pro or another app called antek,if im not mistaken...

what exactly freeze means? for example if i freeze yahoo messenger so that it wont start at startup, will i be able to use it without defrosting it?

Mate best way is to use an application called autostarts

For system apps, use App Quarantine
For user apps, use AutoKiller

I'm having a hard time understanding you. If you don't want the apps running, root and remove/freeze them.
As LeJay said, root your device and remove the apps from /system/app/ or freeze (kind of disabling it) them with an app like Titanium Backup.
Also certain apps are required by the LG framework and can't be removed or frozen. They remain in memory and come back after you kill them. There are threads to be found about which app you can remove /freeze and which not.

How do you uninstall stock applications???

Like the title says. How do you uninstall stock applications on the Thrill?? For example...I want to use GO SMS or Handcent...so I want to uninstall the stock messaging application. How would I go about doing that?
You first need to acquire root. Then you have a couple options.
I personally just remove the apps I don't want from ROM zip. I heard there is some GUI that does this for you, but its not hard to delete a couple files.. Located in /data/app or /system/app
After that, sign your zip and flash away.
Or you could download a program from the market and 'freeze' the application. It basically remove it but keeps a hard copy as a backup. I don't know the name of the app, but a simple search will tell you.
Titanium backup

There's an app called "NoBloatFree" in the market. It requires root, and will backup anything you wish to disable/delete, just in case.
If you freeze or remove the phones native messaging app you will not receive any new text messages. I tried and that's what happened.

Certain system apps like messaging should not be frozen or removed as they may cause unwanted consequences. There's some third party launchers (I know LauncherPro does it for sure) that will allow you to hide apps from showing up in your app drawer.

Follow above methods for removing system apps. For the record you CAN remove the stock mms.apk and run gosms with no problems at all. I have deleted the stock mms.apk and use gosms and it handles sms and mms just fine. Handcent however can't handle mms without the stock messaging app but it will do sms just fine without it.

[Q] Any way to prevent apps to start by themself on i9000 ?

Yea yea I did search for task killers and process managenet. Didnt find what I wanted. I want to prevent apps to launch not to kill them instantly when they launch. Anyone know any app that makes this happen ?
you could freeze the apps with titanium backup, dont know if you need the pro version to do that.
otherwise you could search around for autostart apps, i used one for some time ago to prevent apps from starting at startup, but i dont renember what the app was called!
just search around the market for autostart
Hope this helps you!
thanks i'll check that out
check out Gemini App manager. it does what u need and free.

[Q] Temporarily disable all apps from starting?

Ok, I play a game(Defender) on my Optimus 2x and it crashes, I believe because other programs launch. I Rooted my device and disabled some apps from starting by itself automatically but I don't want to disable Facebook, hotmail and some other Apps. I was just just wondering if I could temporarily disable all apps from automatically starting while I play the game and then allow programs to start after? Maybe there is an app that can do this?
Thanks,
David
You could try to freeze them with titanium backup before you play and afterwards you could unfreeze them

[Q] The problem(s) with the facebook app running all the time

Why does the Facebook app always seem to be running in the backgound?
Even after a reboot, the app is running - usually 2 diferent services - media upload and notification checker or something.
With an X8, there's not much spare RAM, so to have facebook take up anywhere from 8mb to 16mb of ram is a problem for me.
Is there a way to stop this background activity without having to go to Applications>Running Services>STOP all the time, or, is there an alternative to the facebook app that behaves itself better?
Thanks

Yes it's old bug I try to log off from facebook but it's always back to running services. I fix that with unistall, if I need fb I install it direct from SD:cyclops:
I just uninstalled both facebook and twitter, and will try seesmic for a while.

Ohh yes, I forgot. I use SEESMIC on gcr and after log off there are not backgreound apps from seesmic :good::laugh:
What I do is I "freeze" the app.
That means the app is installed , but it can not run in the memory.
When I need the app again , I simply "defrost" it.
That way I am able to use the app whenever I want and I can simply and quickly switch between Freezing and Defrosting.
I use this application free on Google Play called "Chef's Freezer"
