If you really want to, you can freeze apps with TitaniumBackup or ROM Toolbox.

(Help) Sense restarts all the time !

Something that is really ticking me off after I updated my phone to 4.24, is that most of the time when i go into any app , and go back to the home page, the white and green HTC logo pops up and sense loads all over again ! Anyone else having this bug?

My phone just started doing that, it seemed to happen right after installing Google Plus. Do you have Google Plus installed?
I suggest backing up ur SD card and formating it and doing a fresh install of Rom. That's what worked for me.

He's on the stock unrooted (and unrootable) rom. Backing up everything isn't really possible. His only option along those lines would be a hard reset with some data loss (of course most of the big things can be backed up or synced). If I were in that situation, I'd want to try other things first.
LiL xSOULJAx, it sounds like you're running low on memory. When you go into another app, it's killing the launcher, so it has to restart when you press the home button. If you're talking about this happening when you go into a game or something that probably does take a lot of memory itself, there's not much you can do. But if it happens with every app, even relatively simple ones, you should check under Applications -> Manage -> Running and see if there's anything running in the background that takes a lot of memory. If you see something hungry you can live without, try uninstalling it.
Thanks alot for the info ! Yes i do have google plus but im about to uninstall alot of apps and see if it helps , thanks again

Here is a lot of info, that will show that a factory reset helps some, but the awaited update will be the only resolution, That is if they don't screw it up also:

Well now my issue is all over since they I rooted yesterday ! Its amazing how fun rooting is lol, the whole process is mindblowing !
Are you running a task killer? If you end up killing the calendar app that's running in the background, it will reboot sense like 50 percent of the time.

Auto stop app?

Is there any app that can stop apps from auto running. In background I tried rom toolbox but it sucks when I disable apps in auto manager.
Any help?

I think this should be on Q&A, not sure.
Anyway, try Autostarts from Play Store.
You must search here:
https://play.google.com/store
Autostarts
Autostarts, it's a paid app in the play store. Amazing app! After a flash its my first app downloaded right after titanium backup
I also use Autostart, it is a great way to stop apps from auto-running in the background!
But wich Autostart ? On Google Playstore we have two apk: One from Michael Elsdörfer, and other from Cyberhorse.
Wich is right ?

i recommand using app called "fast reboot" its not auto but its a 1 click thing
also u can use the go launcher task manager
it has n auto stop option and also the one click thing that stops all running apps.
its great and im using it
no u dont need go launcher 2 run it
in my opinion u must not force close apps as it restarts and drain more battery.
android manages the background apps very efficiently

Google backup transport can be frozen, unless you need to use any of the google sync stuff.

I froze audioeffectservice and the walkman app wouldn't work even when I unfroze and rebooted, then I froze fmrxservice and the same happened with the radio :/

[APP] Greenify - Save Battery Life

I discovered this gem of an app a couple months ago thanks to an article on Lifehacker. Lifehacker's app recommendations can be hit or miss, so I took this with a grain of salt. But after trying it for a couple months, I couldn't be happier with the results and it's become one of my absolute favorite apps. I've noticed a few of you mentioning it in various forums as well, so apparently word has gotten around! But to those of you who have yet to try Greenify, I would highly recommend it. Basically it "auto-hibernates apps". So, for instance, if you have the Facebook app, but don't necessarily care to have it running in the background eating valuable battery life, Greenify will hibernate that app for you. It's very simple to set up and it has definitely extended my battery life after adding around 7-8 apps to my hibernate list. I'm attaching the Lifehacker article and Google Play links below.

Good app. I'm using it too for a long time
Sad that it can't hibernate system apps Like Google Maps for example

Didn't notice that. Depending on if you use maps or not you could always freeze it in Titanium Backup.

Or you could use TiBu to make it a system app then use Greenify.
I apparently am not smart enough to run Greenify. How do you configure it?

basically, go into "manage apps" -> "running apps" and determine which apps are running that you really do NOT NEED to be running all the time. for me, it was facebook, scramble with friends, beat the streak, play music, and a few others. I then open the greenify app, and selected just those apps. then, greenify will hibernate them so that they are not running in the background. only downside is that I do not get notifications for those apps (which is fine by me). however, I can still access them just fine and they launch very quickly/smoothly as if they were not hibernating.
How did you Greenify Play Music? I don't see it on the list. Is that considered a system app?

Not really. Just open the app, hit the home button, then go into greenify and hibernate it.

Sorry, I had searched Greenify and got to this Razer forum, I have a Nexus 7. "Home" sends me to my home page on it. I used app/mover to change Play Music to a user app (but now Music is gone and won't install from Play Store...) Don't use it much anyway, but be nice to figure out Greenifying system apps.

So they were just waking the phone because they felt like it! but now I can still use the app and they Dont do anything in the background now! :thumbup:

Just a suggestion, if you have Titanium Backup Pro then you can convert system apps to user apps. Then you can set said app to hibernate in Greenify.

I'm interested as to what apps you have done this to? I have the Pro and would love to know which apps you have successfully converted, thanks ahead.
Can anybody help me out by explaining (or linking to me an article that explains) how Greenify actually works its magic? Does it just run a service in the background that is constantly monitors active processes that have been "Greenified" and forces these processes to go into "Hibernate" mode when the screen is off, and prevents any partial wakes?
Thanks guys.
Before greenify I would unplug my phone at 930 pm and wake up at 5 am and the battery would be at 78%, with greenify doing the same method I only drop to 88%!

This may very well be placebo, but battery life has been awesome recently, right after installing Greenify. CM10.1, stock CM kernel... Just another data point...

Why apps run in background without opening them

Hey guys, I always wandered why apps run I'm background even though its been 2 weeks or so since u used them.
How can I prevent that from happening?
The reason I am asking is because those apps kill my ram. My ram hit 80% occupied and every time I have to hit kill tasks.
Some other times I hit kill tasks but those apps keep running in background sooo annoying.
I also installed greenify which hibernate those apps and they keep running.
I don't wanna install them cause I use them from time to time. So what could be the solution for this problem?
Please help thanks a lot.

The run at startup. Some do. Restart your phone check what's running and uninstall or stop the processes
Sent from my SGH-T889 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
I already limited that to only the apps I want to start at boot. So u don't think that's the issue.
At boot things go well but after 4 days things start to get messy and apps start in background by it self and when I kill them, they just load again. Its nuts.

If that happens I just uninstall things I don't need etc like 3rd party lunchers keyboards all that uses ram

Android is designed to do this..
Do a search for how android / linux kernel managed ram.. YOUR Fighting your phone and how it works by killing off apps. If you device needs the ram it will kill off the least used app ..
but there are some rogue apps. IF THE APP Creates account LIKE Facevirus
you have to disable its sync settings.. ohh and you will have to do so every day or to it turns its setting back to suit there needs not yours..
other rogue apps do the same..
If you are rooted, you can use Greenify. With this you can hibernate any application that starts in background which will save both your RAM and Battery.
Search for this app on XDA or Play store
