Hello,
I use MightyText, which allows me to text/sms from my computer.
However, it's such a battery hog. It drains my battery like beer and drunk sailor.
Anyways, I usually use Titanium Backup to "freeze" the app when not in use. The process is pretty cumbersome. I was wondering is there's an automatic way to freezing/defrost apps?
Thanks in advance
Multiple ways.
You could use greenify to greenify / hibernate the app.
Titanium does nothing special. It just utilises the built in package manager. It uses the command "pm disable <package name>" so if you use tasker, .there's loads of things you can do
Thank you for the reply
I tried Greenify....for whatever reason....it doesn't hypernate MightyText.
With a little more looking around....I discovered that Titanium Backup got a nice simple widget to freeze/defrost apps.

I am looking to improve my battery life as well as reduce unnecessary ram usage. I have apps such as Call history, docking station and news that are built in and always turn themselves on. I was wondering if there is a way to block certain apps from operating in the background but still lets me use the apps when I want to and maybe have a pop-up window asking me if I want to use it before I do.
Thanks in advance.
You could try Juice Defender or AutoStarts.
With titanium backup pro you can freeze apps and process apk's and so much more ... It's quite an essential program for every phone imo

I'm yet to find anything that does this, without the processes in question just turning themselves back on. Maybe I'll look into developing something. Hmm

If you freeze them with titanium backup they won't turn on again, not untill you unfreeze them. Trust me, i do it all the time
ROM Toolbox has the freeze option as well and many functions more than titanium
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.

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:

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
Hi, people...
I am running a rooted stock GB ROM with abyss kernel and would like to know how to prevent certain apps suddenly starting to run in the background. I have Android assistant installed and it is great for killing multiple apps and other stuff. But some apps like Latitude, Gmail, Samsung account, Yahoo finance seem to sneak from behind and when I check AA I see them running so I have to mark them and kill them. How can I completely keep them, or any other non-system app out of operation, unless I start them?
Many thanks....
Killing apps is NOT preventing apps from autorunning.
Task killers are bad because some apps will just rerun itself, wasting battery life.
I personally use Autostarts, it can prevent apps from running when starting up, or when triggered by an event like for example: Wifi connected, data connected, etc...
Be careful with it if you are trying to disable system apps as some things can break your phone.
Markuzy, thanks for the reply...
I know that killing apps isn't doing the job, but at the moment that is what I do when I check my phone and see the pest running around. I have Android assistant there I have been offered to stop stuff like Accuweather, Skype, Youtube and similar stuff from running at startup, but I will try Autostarts to see if that does better job and offer better and more comprehensive list of what can be NOT ALLOWED TO LIVE, as opposed to killing..
Don't worry, I'm not touching any of the system bits, just regular apps...
Use Titanium Backup(Donate version) and then freeze the offending apps.
You can always defrost them later
Hi All,
Being on Note 4 and Note Edge had made me forgot things I can do being rooted. To my understanding, the default application manager can disable apps, and titanium backup can go beyond that list from the default application manager. I have also got Greenify. Would anyone care to share what they have disabled/froze in TB and also what they have added on the Greenify list? Thanks in advance!
I basically greenify everything except apps that I want running in the background (desired notifications, watch apps etc). If something doesn't work right, just ungreenify it. The more the better I always say.
I don't have a list for freezing apps, but right off the bat you want to freeze sdm.apk so you don't get updates. I freeze knox and ITIgnite as well. Then of course i remove any games/verizon/Amazon/google play software i dont want.
I have been unable to actually block apps running in BG, purify, greenify,etc none is satisfactory. Xender will stop yes, but immediately start. Anyway to block processes permanently?
I'm not sure I follow... You can absolutely block processes. Titanium backup lets you freeze an app and it's nothing but wasted space in your device at that point.... If you mean Tasker specific tasks, if you have root, use Tasker to (pm disable packagename)
If you want to disable services then you run into more issues. For a great tool not tasker ready try servicely to do both

Hi Sir thanks for responding
I really taught of freezing those useless apps but I fell on a very efficient xposed module called "Prevent Running"
Easy to setup and works efficiently.
