Hi,
Anybody can help me? My battery is getting crazy drained from unwanted autostarting app, especially Chinese ones.
I thought it was too easy using just the auto start app manager in the phone settings.
I successfully rooted (double checked with root checker) using the guide found in this same forum than I tried different third party autostart app manager but all without success
After granting SU permission the most of the app says that the procedure is successful but just seconds after the apps I disabled are already back in the running app list.
The weirdest thing happens with Clean master, after granting permission and while is working it tells me that the app itself couldn't succeed and the only thing that suggests is to grant permission in the SU app that obviously has already.
What can it be the problem?

I'm not sure, I'm not using such apps yet. Are these apps lollipop compatibles?
BTW I've checked one thing on the m9+, slightly related, that /system modifications stick or not with the default kernels we have, and luckily the Write protection on an unlocked device is not present. So we don't need write protection cracking kernel module like on m9. I've tested this with AdWay rooted app, and it modified the /system/etc/hosts file and it sticks after reboot.

I downloaded all of them from the play store or the app market already installed in the phone so I guess they all are…
Didn't check In the specifications though…
I'm using Ad block plus and that seems to work properly without problems

Have you tried Greenify? Lots of people swear by it, though it works best in conjunction with Xposed because then you can hibernate badly behaving system apps.

I tried after your suggestion and seems to work
until I use one of the apps and then it wakes up again all the others (like I am using an app to shop online and it awakes music app,weibo, a Chinese taxi booking app and baidu maps)
Proper Chinese style haha
I'm afraid that exposed is Not gonna work properly at the Moment because I got an error message that says that they don't have (yet) a version compatible with SDK 21 or the phone processor architecture…
Thanks!

Your answer is actually in the question you pose.
Download Autostarts and kill off the apps criteria so that it doesn't start up.
Been using that app for years now, it's superb https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts

There is an alpha that works fine on the M9. http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-android-5-1-successfully-t3074586
You need the sdk21-arm64 zip to install the framework, then the Xposed for Lollipop "installer" (which doesn't actually install anything, just manages he modules).
This will let you greenify system apps, which appears to be your problem. Greenify will complain if you try to do it, but it should be fine.

I use DroidWall. It's free on the Market, but it does require root. I'm thinking most if not all of your choices of an app to do what you are asking will require root.
Wow thanks. I already have that app and I thought I'd read it trough thoroughly but there you see.
Anyone know if you can disable apps from starting at all, e.g. Social hub?

If you have root, you can freeze it using Titanium Backup.

Ah yes, I forgot about this app. I have this installed too.
try Gemini App Manager is the best app!
Stop an app from connecting - DroidWall
Stop an app from starting - Autostarts
For freezing apps you could also use app quarantine, I like it best.
Good Morning.
Since yesterday I've noticed, that an app called "sCloudStarter" was installed automatically into user apps.
I can't uninstall it, and there is also a process running.
I can't find any information about this in the internet.
Is here someone, who knows what this app is or does?
Antivirus does also nothing find when I scan my phone.
It's annoying, when apps are installed automatically without knowledge of the user.
Do you think it's harmless or is it a bad virus app?
I did nothing change in my system before.
I also made a full wipe, and after configuring my device with the new fresh system, this sCloudstarter was installed again.
Please, hopefully someone can help me or can give me an answer about this.
it's a Samsung system app related to S-cloud. This is like Google drive. You ha ave to be root to uninstall it.

Thanks for your answer.
I'm rooted, but when I uninstall it, it is back in the next second.
It's not possible to delete it.
But I'm wondering, why it was installed automatically without any message?
That's bad from Samsung.
Do This -
I was frustrated with this annoying problem for hours before I did this - download an uninstaller that can identify an app named "Samsung Account" - followed by a long decimal number. Run it and delete Samsung Account first, then SCloudStarter, and hopefully that will work for you as it did for me.
Yeah there was a update which installs this app like a user app.

Like the other post said, you can use an app called Titanium Backup to freeze apps, and delete them. This one should be no exception. Freezing apps would be recommended first, as you can then see how the phone reacts when you disable an app. You can always delete later, but I still would recommend just freezing. Even with a 16 GB device, you won't gain that much space by deleting these apps that who knows if you may need later.
That works

If your phone is rooted, there is an app called TitaniumBackup in the Play Store. TitaniumBackup can freeze apps and the frozen app no longer runs on your phone or shows up in your app drawer. TitaniumBackup is the first app that in my opinion needs to be installed on a rooted phone. It's the best app that I've ever paid for, followed closely by Root Explorer.
It's also a good idea that before deleting an app you should ALWAYS have TitaniumBackup backup the app first. This way if your phone starts to act really weird, you can go into TB and restore the app.
It looks noxious
I had a look at the permissions for this in its App Info area,
...
* Your Personal Information
add or modify calendar events and send emails to guests without owner's knowledge, modify your contacts, read calendar events plus confidential information, read call log, read your contacts, read your Web bookmarks and history, write call log, write web bookmarks and history
...
OMG! It astually lists "send emails to guests without owner's knowledge" like that's nothing to be alarmed about! In fact, most of what is listed there is setting off alarm bells to me.

There is an app titles Titanium Backup that you can use with root. (highly recomended btw). This lets you uninstall bloatware, freeze apps (basically hides them and keeps them from running but keeps them on the phone), backup apps and data so if you have to reinstall or switch phones you can restore them without having to set them up again. Freezing also lets you stop the app which makes you provision and pay extra to tether your phone so you can activate it without paying extra.
It is a must have app imho for rooted users and I highly recomend the pro version. (you can only freeze with pro)
Hello all..

First of all this thread doesn't belong in the development section.
Something is requesting SU from time to time, maybe a "scheduled backup", "xposed tweak" etc.
Open superuser app and check the log.
Each su request will be logged unless you have disabled logging ofc.
You might also want to disable notifications/toast messages from SU app.

Done. But no use. 2 more screenshots..
I have had the same annoying pop-up ads that looked like this "your Android memory is too low,please clean it up" or something like that,when I pressed "OK" button I just was redirected to "Du Booster" app. So Ad-blocking app is your friend,and for me the best is Adaway.:good:
I had these starting yesterday. I just had to restore my phone to a backup in the end. I got rid of lots of apps and the aware ones didn't find anything

Adblock Adaway or the xposed mod minminguard. As long as you are rooted they should all stop the adds and pop ups

If you are not rooted the only option is to uninstall the app which is giving you the pop up. I don't know of any pop up blocker that doesn't require root

Yes... I am trying to do the same .. but unable to find the app that is causing it .. most of my apps installed are from reviews from top Android forums and few games only.
I have uninstalled almost 10 apps in suspicion .. but still can't trace the culprit.
Hurray... Finally got hold of the culprit.
It was named com.scloud.... (Didn't remember the full name)
Initially thought it was system app but when going thru all suspicious names found that there is an option to uninstall which is not available for sys apps.
After I installing it alk these ads are gone.

I have kingroot on my firestick, I rooted with 4.1 & some have had issues with the app Only working for around 20mins then blanking off or cutting out on Kodi? I have been quite lucky with mine & normally only have it doing that once then no more problems while using Kodi to watch things. When using Kingroot it likes to callback to home as many users know, which could be causing the issues during using Kodi while rooted with Kingroot on Fire Tv? But I was wondering I have an app called APK Permission Remover so I had a look at the Kingroot app & saw that in one of the permissions it says activity called? Could this maybe fix the issues I think it maybe worth a try? What does anyone think about this?
I've included the screen shot of the permissions on the latest version of Kingroot
To be honest I'm not sure if this will or would work? I tested using the facebook app & once you have already installed the app you must uninstall first then reinstall the app that you have modded.... But I don't know if you would have issues when it uninstalls? or when the modded app gets installed because I'm sure that kingroot gets the root from home (via the Internet connection) & I'm sure it would fail to root then? I maybe wrong but I'm not sure if this would be possible? If anyone has a theory on this or knows a little more who these two apps work maybe they could shed some light or hope into this matter?
No. APK permission removers do not remove root permission which is how Kingroot is "calling back". Just delete KingRoot for now once you block OTAs or block the callback at the router level (might not help with the cutting out Kodi).
Just install supersu and get rid of kingroot.
