Year 2 we already see how much has changed Android system and how seriously it was finalized in Google, making it convenient, fast, with a smooth interface, with great features. Now we can confidently say that Android is in no way inferior to its main competitor iOS.
However, sometimes it can be noted that the Android-smartphone or tablet starts to work slower. This is especially common if the device is operated for a long time. If you compare the operation of the device immediately after purchase and after a few months, you can recognize with unpleasant surprise that the difference is obvious. Switching between running applications is already slow, launching the application makes it wait a few seconds, which was not there before. Everything can be hidden in a very simple reason - too many applications run with the device turned on and then they continue to work in background hammering memory.
Often, this can be seen on Android-smartphones and tablets with 1GB of RAM or even less, since this for Android becomes a necessary minimum for normal operation. Do not be upset, as there is a simple solution to the problem. There are many applications from independent developers who are actively promoting their own solutions for optimizing the operation of the operating system.
We decided to choose for example a very useful application BootManager, the name of which already speaks for itself. We can manage all the applications that are loaded together with the system at the start. In BootManager, you can manually set the choice on those applications that really need to be loaded, and which ones simply take over additional memory and resources. By editing the list of auto-loading applications, you can pretty well unload the system and improve performance.
Do not be afraid to work with BootManager. First you need to install the Xposed framework, which can be downloaded from this link. You will also need root-permissions to install. Well worth it to worry about.
As soon as you install everything you need, start the BootManager program and you will see full list applications that automatically load when you turn on your Android device. It is worth noting that in the devil paid version BootManager does not display system applications and you can edit the startup list of only those applications that were installed independently.
Crossing out the application from the list of automatic download is very simple - click on the name of the application and that's it, it will not load anymore when you turn on the Android-smartphone / tablet. All disabled applications from startup in the list will be highlighted in red.
The above method offers a tool available to many to disable unnecessary applications from autoload, which will help to significantly improve the performance situation, there will be more free RAM that is more needed for multitasking and for working with really necessary applications.
Download the BootManager application in Google play market on this link.
Updated 2015.02.29: Autostarts is an alternative program to disable system applications. Also, with its help, you can monitor the resource consumption of all processes and decide which ones to turn off and which ones to keep.
It is worth noting that all of the actions you do at your own peril and risk and consequences with insufficient knowledge or inattention can be the following: unstable work system, stop application error, application crash.

Sometimes the file may be “stuck” in the download block, the reasons for this failure are different, but they all program character . We will review the most current ways solutions to this problem: we give step by step instructions and analyze non-standard cases of this error.
Where do the downloads come from?
The main problem of the Android OS is the presence of a large number of background processes and data. The system passes through a huge number of files and processes them "in the background." A number of these processes are often not needed at all; therefore, programs that are loaded by the download manager are gaining popularity, thereby unloading RAM and processor. Many people ask: how to stop downloading on Android?
Symptomatology is usually this: there is some file known to us or an unknown file that hangs in the download tray. Nothing really happens to him. Besides the fact that he strains and torments the system, plus can eat traffic.
Disable download
“Hanging” downloads often appear when a connection is broken or an error occurs in an application. It can depict a hectic activity, but it never ends, moreover, a reboot does not always help. You can put a new download in order to “push through” the hung: but sometimes we just get two hung lines. Stop downloading is usually easy using the elementary algorithm of actions:
Glitch downloads can also provoke certain types of viruses that spread through free wifi points or through Internet pages. Now for Android is full of free and effective antiviruses which almost instantly cope with the problem.
Alternative way
The algorithm is relevant for system versions starting from 4.0. It gives a plus in that it saves time: the number of necessary actions is reduced.
The effect is similar, no additional actions are required.
If it did not help
Almost always presented step-by-step schemes will make it possible to eliminate the bug. Otherwise, it makes sense to try other approaches:
- Clear Market cache: go into it in applications and click "Erase data". Warning: you will need to re-enter your account information.
- You can try to close the download through an out-of-order task manager. One of the popular options available is Omich Software, which can kill all types of processes, including using root-rights.
- In extreme cases, a failure may be due to a drop in firmware and system errors , such trouble usually does not come alone: there are other anomalies in the work of the gadget. Here it is best to do a general reset by applying the rollback option to the factory settings.
All solutions are the same for smartphones and tablets, since the system interface will differ only in the resolution of graphic elements.
We looked at how to disable background apps on Android. But disabling applications does not guarantee that after some time they will not start again, and restarting the device completely negates all efforts. All because some applications have the autoload feature and run along with the system. In this article, we will look at several options for how to disable autorun programs on Android. There are no built-in tools to disable autoloading in the system, so we will need special applications and
Navigation by Record:
How to disable autorun programs on Android using the BootManager module
BootManager is a module for Xposed Framework () that makes it easy and convenient to manage the startup list. To use it, you will need root privileges (ROOT) and installed program Xposed Installer.
Steps to install BootManager:
- Launch the application Xposed Installer
- In the "Download" section through the search find the module BootManager and install it
- A message appears in the notification curtain stating that the module is not yet active. Click on it, and then in the window that appears, check the box next to BootManager
- Reboot device
You can also download the BootManager module from Google Play, but you still have to activate it and reboot the system.
Then run BootManager, it will scan the applications on the device and display a list. How to remove programs from startup? Just click in the list that appears on those who want to deny the possibility of autorun. The selected programs will be highlighted in red - this means that autoload is turned off for them, they will not be launched the next time the device is turned on.
It should be said separately that in the free version of the program only applications that you installed are shown. The list of system applications can be seen only in the paid version of the program.
Removing an application from autorun is quite simple: you just need to tap the application you need in the list. Disabled applications will be highlighted in red in the list.
How to remove programs from startup using Greenify
Greenify is one of best programs to remove applications from the background and limit their startup. Greenify can be used without ROOT-rights, but in this case, you will have to put the applications to sleep manually each time, for this there is a convenient widget. If your device has superuser rights, autoloading will be automatically disabled.
Click on the sign plus on the bottom of the screen and select from the list the applications that you want to put to sleep, and then click on the check mark and confirm. Background activity and autoload for selected applications will be disabled until you need them. When necessary, just use the application as usual, and after using Greenefy, it will again “lull” it again, freeing the RAM from background processes. In the paid version it is possible to receive push notifications even from sleeping programs.
Manage startup applications with Autostarts
Autostarts - one of the most time-tested programs for managing autoload. Xposed is not needed for its operation, but at the same time its capabilities are much wider than those of BootManager. With Autostarts, you get control over literally all processes, even system processes, which makes using this application more dangerous, so only experienced users are advised to use it. The program also requires ROOT rights.
After installation, Autostarts will scan all system and user applications for the presence of autoload rules and display a list of events that trigger the launch of applications. Each line contains an information icon, clicking on which will show a list of applications that run on this event. Click on any process - you will get brief information about him and the button to prohibit autoload. The names of the applications for which you disable autoloading will be crossed out.
There is also a program AutoStart - No root, a feature of which is the ability to disable autorun programs without obtaining ROOT rights. The principle of operation of this program is similar to the previous one, only it does not know how to work with system programs.
If your device had problems with the speed of work due to the large number of installed applications then after correct setting autostart speed is guaranteed to increase. Also, disabling autoloading has a positive effect on battery life.
And what is the autoloading control method you use?
Answers on questions
