[Q] Any suggestion on auto-start app manager/stopper/modder?

Hello guys,
I'm looking for a decent app that monitors and prevents certain processes from automatically starting. I'm not looking for a "killer", which reacts after the processes has started. I'm looking for a way that can stop certain processes from starting by itself. The best example would be: my FM Radio would start by itself?! And I don't want that, because I rarely listen to it, yet I still need it there, only when I manually open it up and listen to the radio...
The information from my search are heavily mixed up and some are extremely old (dated back to 2009), yet the newer ones are mostly vague in terms of a verdict as to what the best solution is.
I would appreciate your input and insights, and click that Thanks button generously

an app that i can suggest you is rom toolbox pro. one of its many functions is disabling the programs' autostart. i have to tell you that i haven't used this function yet, because i'm a bit noob and i wouldn't like to reflash the rom. the app is a bit expensive, but there is also the trial version, so before buying it, you can see if it is what you are searching for.

Thanks for your reply!
If I understood correct, you couldn't use the "anti-autostart" function because you haven't rooted yet?

I agree, ROM Toolbox Pro is a fine tool, and does this.
Before I started messing with ROMs, I just used Autostart. It does only this. What it also does is allow you to turn off the 'listeners' each app has for certain events.
For installed apps, you can often just disable all listeners to stop them popping up when they like and chew into my battery. For system apps, be more careful (or leave them). Most event names will mean nothing, so use with care. I try them one at a time and make sure everything still works, typically.
I think that is more comprehensive that ROM Toolbox, although that does a lot more. I have bought both anyway, and both are available for free to try out.
I seriously recommend DroidWall as well. It gives you control over what app can use what method, or none, to access the internet. A Must-Have, IMO.

I think you can use the 'don't start' without Root. You cannot block the listeners until you have Root, so it is probably a waste of time. They'll just pop right up again whenever they wish.

Great, Jerome! ROM toolbox downloading

'Autostarts' works fine for me.

Using Autostarts here as will.

System tuner pro is also a very useful tool for app- and task-handling and many other things too.

^Thanks!
I encountered a problem in ROM Toolbox though:
In Auto Start Manager, when I either try to disable an event or application, it says "disabling connectivity changed...", and loads from there infinitely. (more than 10 minutes). I ended up force quit it every time. Open it up again, it does show the event/application chosen was disabled, but I don't know if I have to force quit it everytime... Does anybody have any experience like this?

Have your superuser works perfact?

Anybody have a delayed response on the ICS leak roms with autostart settings?
I.e. In gemini app manager and rom toolbox, when you toggle autostart, it takes like 10 seconds before you can carry on.
Like a delay in acquiring superuser rights.
I do suspect it has to do with the rather rushed root kernel by CF, but I can live with it ;-)

Do you get a popup from SuperUser requesting rights for Rom Toolbox when you start it the fist time? If so,m check the 'always' box and press 'OK'. You should get a message ('toast') saying access granted if you start the app again.
This assumes you have Root. If you do not, and you still get events disabled by ROM Toolbox, you have discovered a new 'exploit' that Rom Toolbox is using!

Best one I've ever used is App Manager. Doeing everything you said you need

Yes, it is working fine. I checked su's log, and it shows the permission was granted.
Also, now that the toolbox has another issue. It won't save settings. For example, somehow my email initiator application was disabled (never set it that way), and when I press it to enable it, it says success. But after reboot, the email application is gone (in home screen and app drawer), and I open the toolbox to check it, it's still disabled. I temporarily solved this issue by deny the toolbox's permission in SU, but this is obviously not a permanent fix.
I emailed the author, but there's no response yet. So please help me
Many thanks!

Delays in mine also, except that it never finishes. The longest I waited was 60 minutes, and it still says please wait...

Sorry, I should've stated this clearly in the OP. I am rooted with ChainFire's kernel, I also have the toast notification poped up (already set it at the first time as "OK" and "always")
But it always says please wait...and never recovers. Pressing the "back" button has no response, pressing home button will let me go back to homescreen but the toolbox is still running in background, and if I open it up again, it's still at "please wait" status, which is why i always had to end it up in force quitting..
Also, in my last post, I described this new issue: it won't save settings on quit (or on system restart). I disable or enable certain events, after the restart, the event was still blocked, and the app icon was gone. I could only get my Email app (samsung stock) back by denying the toolbox's permission in SU.

Im using Android Assistant..
its free in the android market.. it takes 1 minute boot time for the app to load and you can manually shutdown/disable all running apps (that would load always everytime you boot up your phone)

Sounds like a severe problem. I would try one of the others suggested, they appear just as good. Autostart always does what I want without issues too. I do not use ROM Toolbox for blocking listeners, just for ROM utilities.

It is good and useful, but it does not block listeners. If you do not do that, the apps will just pop up again.

^ Thanks for all your help fellas!
Just an update: I've got a response from the author and he said it's a known issue, and will hopefully be fixed in next update or so, so let's hope for good

For me a workaround was to make sure the app I want notifications from is running, then press the recents button and find the app on the list, then swipe the app down, it will only move a little way then spring back and also obtains a small padlock icon.
You will probably also need to go to the settings menu and find either protected apps or app settings (depends if you are using the Lollipop version or the Marshmallow beta) and enable the setting for the app which makes it stay awake when the phone sleeps.

Thanks so so much. I try this out

You have tomark the app to run in background...
this is no bug it is an energy saving feature.
the device has a stock white list of apps allowed to run in background.
but normally you re asked if an app should be able to run in background or not.
any app that is not allowed to will be closed immediately in standby

Wouldn't you need to root the phone and then use an app like TitaniamBackup to disable it?

MM 6.0.1: "Screen Overlay" - Pulling My Hair Out!!!

Hi,
I am having a major issue with Marshmallow 6.0.1 on my Rooted N910T and it's driving me nuts! I'm totally new to MM and I have no idea how to handle this, or if it even can be handled.
This is a new phone for me, that was fresh and I updated to MM using Samsung's ROM, Rooted it and have PhilZ Recoveey on it.
After I install apps that need access to my Storage (or some other things), like for example "OfficeSuite Pro", which needs access to my Storage, a message pops up when I open the app, telling me it needs that access. So I tap "Allow".
Then another message comes up that says; "Screen Overlay Detected" and it tells me that I have to turn it Off. So I tap "Open Settings".
Then it takes me to a list of apps that each have an On/Off switch and it says; "Apps that can appear on top" at the top of that screen.. And sometimes I can move the switch, sometimes I can't. But whether it's already in the right position, or I can move it there (and I've tried both settings) makes no difference.
I.e., it still does the same thing when I go into the apps and so in this example, I still can't access my documents.
May I please humbly request, does anyone have any idea what's going on here and how to hopefully fix it? I would be so amazingly grateful!!!
Thank You!

If you have a screen color changing app like Twilight or F.lux running, pause it and run whatever you want without overlay bother. When you're done with your app, resume your color changing app.

If you have root+xposed installed you can grab ( disable screen overlay warning ) module and activate it. You can get rid of it permanently.

[MOD] Disable High Volume Warning (no root)

If you're like me you're bummed that we have no root and are missing the abilities of root. Namely having the ability to use Xposed to turn off the annoying high volume warning. The following information aims to restore that functionality without root but requires some work but when you're done it's "set it and forget it.". You will never have to do it again. (Unless you wipe your phone)
I have this running on my phone and it works perfectly. I've attached a screenshot showing that the high volume warning is disabled on my phone. Note there is no popup on my volume slider when it's at max, so it's working. This mod uses Tasker and AutoTools. If you're not familiar with them it's OK, the article I'm linking has a step by step process for creating events and tasks.
Once again this isn't my work. I'm just bringing the information to the masses.
All set? Click here to go to the article. Enjoy!
P.S. You will need to open AutoTools and activate the 30 day trial if you don't have the full version. Then grant it permission, If not this won't work. To get the full version just open AutoTools and clock "Get full version".
***********UPDATE 09/15***********
I have confirmed that you will have to manually "test" this procedure first before it survives a reboot.
To do this:
Open tasker.
Click on the Monitor Start event.
Click on the 30 second task.
Click the "play" button in the lower left corner.
The task will begin manually.
If all is well both of the actions will turn green.
If anything turns red something isn't configured correctly.
***********UPDATE 09/17***********
For those that either don't want to or are having difficulty setting up the profiles I have attached them to this post in XML form, Then all you have to do is give the apps permission in ADB as stated in the article and import the profiles.
To import them into Tasker:
Download the file called "Tasker Profiles.zip" from the link below.
Unzip it and save it anywhere on your internal storage. Open up Tasker and disable Beginner Mode in Preferences.
Then, go back to the main screen and long-press on the “Profile” tab up top. You should see a pop-up with one of the options being “Import.”
Tap on that and browse to where you saved the .prf.xml files and select that file to import.
Repeat for the second profile.
Screenshots for this are attached to this OP.
I have also attached a quick demo video to show that this process works perfectly. No popup.

reboot and see if it still works.
I already tried this and after reboot it still prompts the first time.

I've rebooted several times. It works for me. There is a 30 second delay before the task is executed. That is by design.

Try this to see if everything is set up correctly:

If all is well both of the actions will turn green.
If anything turns red something isn't configured correctly.
I've attached screenshots of this procedure.
Also something to consider is that if you have any task killers installed or anything that kills tasks on startup you should add tasker to the ignore list of that app.
Hope this helps.

It's configured correctly. Here is the thing. If you pull the value before without using, then pull the value after clicking ok manually, it is NOT 2, it's 0. This was discussed on the s7 and s8 forums. Odd that yours works and dozens of other folks doesn't.

I dont know what to tell you. It does work for me just fine as my screen shots show. Sorry it's not working for you.

Can you screenshot your configuration screen? Is the value your sending "int" for integer? It shouldn't matter but what Carrier are you using? I'm Sprint.

One other thing to check is under app permissions ensure that AutoTool has the ability to change system settings. Just running the adb shell pm command isn't enough.

According to the article 0 is 'not configured' 1 is 'disabled' which is what the value would be when you click ok. 2 is 'inactive'.(How this differs from 'not configured' or 'disabled' I do not know). and 3 is 'enabled'. All depending on your mobile country code. Perhaps changing it to 1 will work for you?
Specifically, we will be modifying the System.Global property audio_safe_volume_state both on boot and periodically so Android will always think you have consented to bypass the warning. This property is defined in AOSP, which we’re reproducing below. There are several states this property can take, ranging from 0-3. 30 seconds after boot or after every 20 hours of continuous music playback, the state is set to ‘0’ or ‘not configured.’ It is then set to ‘1’ for ‘disabled’ or ‘3’ for ‘enabled’ depending on your Mobile Country Code. If you live in the E.U., this property is set to ‘3’ by default but is changed to ‘2’ for ‘inactive’ whenever the user manually bypasses the volume warning. We will be changing the value of this property to the ‘inactive’ state (changing it to ‘disabled’ never worked for me, in case you’re wondering).

Going to Settings -> Sound and Vibration -> Volume -> hit the 3 dot menu -> Media Volume Limiter -> Off works.
I came from a Note 4 with Android 5.1.1 that didn't have this feature. I had no idea Samsung finally caved and added it.
Thank you.

Or not. I rebooted again and it does NOT work anymore. I'm really not trusting Samsung with this. The tasker method works every time. Every reboot. See attached screenshots showing it's turned on (and set to max) and still showing this message. I rebooted several times just in case I had a weird reboot. I'm still getting the popup even with it turned on and the max adjusted to the maximum or even with it turned off completely.
I only wish I was wrong. Thanks for the try though.

Yeah will reset after a boot

Yup...so with tasker I don't have to do any of that. I never have to touch it again. It never comes back.
Thanks again though.

I did learn something from this process. When I re-enabled the tasker even it didn't work when I rebooted. So I hit the "play" button that I mentioned earlier to retest the task and once everything turned green I rebooted and it now works again...after every reboot. So I'll add this to the OP that the task must be "tested" after it's set up in order to get it to work.
Even more interesting is who posted it. Compusmurf was the guy who stated in this thread that this did not work for him. Interesting.

I did get it to work finally. I had another tasker/app that was stepping on it.

Well I also confirmed that when I disabled it and allowed the popup to come back by rebooting simply re-enabling the tasker even then rebooting did not make it work again. I had to "test" it with the play button to get it to work again. So I'm updating the OP to reflect this.

Question Hide app feature not working

hi, I'm trying to enable the "hide app" of ColorOS 11 on my Oppo Find X3 Pro (global).
I can correctly select apps to hide, set up the access code (for example #1234#), but after that the apps are still visible on drawer and homeage. And if I digit the access code on the launcher, nothing happens. I suspect the features is not working because I have google dialer and not the oppo one so maybe the feature to manage the access code is not implemented there.
Do you have any clue on how to fix this? or does the "hide app" works in your phone?

This moment...when you are trying to hide Tinder from your GF ◉‿◉
Just kidding ofc xD
On my phone it works flawlessly - i have an oppo dialer.

Hi. Did your phone come with oppo dialer?

actually it was my fault... I forgot the golden rule of IT
Just rebooting the phone (I didn't reboot after activating the hide app feature, but it was not specified in the instructions) made the hide app feature work.
The only minor glitch is that on google dialer, after I enter the access code #xyz# and the hidden app menu opens, next time I open the dialer it still has the access code visibile and I have to manually delete it.

actually this problem is not solved. After each reboot it works flawlessy, but after some time (maybe 1/2 day; I don't know exactly) it stops working. When I enter the access code on dialer, nothing happens, until next reboot. I suspect the issue is related to ColorOS policy to kill/suspend apps (maybe the one that manage hidden apps is suspended), but didn't found any way to fix this issue. Do you have any clue?

Sorry to hear that.
I suggest removing google dialer temporarily to check whether it is an issue with the firmware or google dialer.
After that let us know.
Btw. Have u installed google dialer during phone initial setup or after?
As a workaround I suggest using external app to hide applications - they worked great for me before. Just use google play store and search for "Hide App"

actually google dialer is the default one from factory, I don't have oppo dialer (and I don't think I can even install it being a system app). From what I understood, the fact that some unit have oppo dialer and others (like mine) google dialer depends on the region. My unit is an european one (italian).
I will try external app, thanks for your suggestion.

So I finally got the update for ColorOS 11 on my Oppo Find X2 Pro yesterday and so far I like it. However, there is no way to auto-hide the navigation buttons.
I've tried navigation gestures but just cannot get used to them (I will try again some time I promise), so I'm back to my trusty navigation buttons. However, unlike ColorOS 7,i cannot find the option to automatically hide (or press a button to hide) these when in apps, etc. so I now can't have a full screen experience.
Has anyone found how to do this yet?

1. Device Settings > Fingerprint > Fingerprint for hidden apps quick-start
2. Select any registered finger (best option to use rarely used finger to unlock the device so that it won't open every time)
We thank you for patience and understanding.
