Help How to remove all the junk that boots when I start my phone

[chrisssj2]

I downloaded this app advanced task manager and when I boot my phone it always start a load of apps. This is my list:

Messaging: 26.6 mb
Clock 20.5 Mb
Internet 20.4 mb
maps 22,4 mb
Help
Dropbox: 21,2 mb
Hot sexy girls 22,8mb
voice command 21.9 mb
Contacts 21.9 mb
game hub 22.2 mb
youtube 22,4 mb
gallery 21.1 mb
chrome 20,4mb
4shared pro 20,7 mb
google play services 21.5 mb
google + 24.7 mb
email 21.9 mb
music player 20,4 mb
Chaton, 22,1 mb
google search 21,6 mb
whatsapp 22,7 mb
settings 20.6 mb
google play store 25,5 mb
google play music 21,3 mb

573-782 MB so only like 209 mb ram free.

Is there some way to shut off all the crap when it boots?

I never ask for all this to be started when I turn on my phone.

All i want is like whatsapp or facebook to be autostarted.

Also when I can't uninstall chaton? the chatbutton is greyed out? Sigh..

pleaseeee assist

I would suggest that you root and remove some system apps that aren't necessarily needed. Then use an app such as Root Toolbox to prevent them from auto running on boot. some of them kill themselves after the boot process. Wait what android version are u on?

 

[zimlokks]

im on Cm10.1 but using the Sprint variant (E4GT), i dont have so many things running at boot. Its that many of ur applications have the permission "Run on boot".

A lot of these are system processes required for normal day-today running rather than the actual apps themselves e.g. Messaging (to receive/send SMS), Clock (for timer/alarm functions), Maps (to support location services), Contacts (as it's a provider service for many others), Gallery, Email etc.

Others can be prevented from starting up by simply not logging-in, or configuring them for manual rather than automatic update.

That's perfectly normal for Android, where free RAM is wasted RAM. It loads everything it needs to at startup, according to the user's configuration, to minimise delays in actual use later. If a process or app remains 'idle' beyond a certain period of time the OS will close it, reclaim the memory and reassign it to something else. It's kind of opposite to how Windows works, because they're designed for completely different purposes.

Careful configuration can minimise unwanted process/app loading, but much of what you call "crap" is actually essential to the device doing its job. If you look at the Running tab in Application Management and tap on (for example) Maps, it will show the dependent process(es).

Also when I can't uninstall chaton? the chatbutton is greyed out?

ChatON, like most preinstalled apps, resides in the /system partition and can't be uninstalled in normal "user mode". That's one of the primary reasons to root a device.

I tried Root Toolbox and it doesnt have any option to see which apps run on boot!!!

And I have rooted my device.. but still cant delete chaton..

The freezing thing.. can work but I think it's rather unnatural.. isn't there something like ccleaner on pc with the boot programs but then for a phone xD.

Also any of these supposed apps that are running in the background I don't see them active? for example I see whatsapp process and facebook but I can't "tab" to them, fresh boot talking. Then why are they even there. for performance? Am I actually online?

/system/app/ChatON.apk (or whatever it's called).... delete with a file manager.

This isn't a PC OS so things work differently. The point in 'freezing' is that it's recoverable should you 'freeze' the wrong thing i.e. something that another process depends on. Deletion is a one-way street.

Whatsapp has to run a process to monitor for incoming messages. The actual app doesn't run unless you use it.

If you are rooted you can install a ROM like NEAT ROM Lite, as opposed to Full, which has a lot of the bloatware removed. For a full list of removed app's, which includes Chaton, d/l text file, here.

Ok so but am I actually online to other persons if whatsapp or facebook autostarts? or how I make sure that I am online or I am not.

I tried with es3 file explorer it says cannot be deleted -.-

mount the system as rw

The handset is 'online' permanently provided there's a suitable connection, either wifi or 3G. If you've set up a Whatsapp account on it then any messages sent to you will be received by its 'handler' service, and a notification displayed on screen which, if selected, will open the main app and display the messages.

How and does it allow me do delete undeleteable things?

 

[zimlokks]

u need root(which I'm guessing u have) download emulator terminal and do this step by step

 1) punch in "su"(no quotes) and press enter and grant it superuser permission select always. 
2)type this no quotes "mount -o rw,remount -t auto /system"
3) system should be rw. 
FYI this only makes the system partition read write, becareful with u mod in there! i suggest using titanium backup to freeze then so a factory reset will make things work again.

 

[Turkoes]

Can't be asked to read all the above, I use a simple app that stop stuff from loading - http://goo.gl/E8ZTY - there's a feature in the app that stops system and installed apps from stating on start-up

 

[zimlokks]

but i suggest being extremely careful what yu stop, if its a root app of course even more care while using.
