General :: Unnecessary Loading Of Apps?
Mar 12, 2013
I own xperia Neo V. Rooted recently. I found that a few apps like Hill climb racing, Zedge, Youtube Latitude etc.. are constantly loading as widgets or under other category into my RAM. I installed android assistant to see the list of processes in memory and found that these apps are loading constantly. RAM gets equipped quite soon and system performance gets degaraded. I also installed Next Launcher 3D. Would it be any cause for this? I also tried a few task killer apps especially from one of the XDA developers (Boost my Xperia) it is excellent, frees up memory by removing unncessary apps, but after a few minuts, RAM gets laoded by leaving only 35-40MB of free space.

A friend has ordered her first ever smartphone (Moto G) and I am tasked with showing her the ropes on using it. Although she really isn't technically-inclined, she does listen to what she is told and I really want to instill good, safe habits in her from the outset.
One of the lessons she needs teaching is regarding malicious apps, and checking permissions before installing anything. You know, stuff like games which want access to make phone calls, send sms, etc
To be clear, what I'm looking for is apps that request excessive permissions, so I can show her what she should be looking out for and avoiding when she's installing apps

This phone comes with a ton of apps pre-installed out of the box. When I go into Setting>Applications>Manage Applications, it does not give me the option to delete these apps (e.g. city ID). Does anyone know if you can delete these unnecessary apps or are we stuck with them?

So I've tried to do a search on this, but I've only been able to find either threads from 2009 way before the 2.1 update, or threads that did not completely answer my question.
How do I remove unnecessary Sprint/HTC apps? And also, what are the apps that are safe to remove?

I am trying to save battery and speed up my phone. I know that I can in to setting to disable all these extra features, but I heard from someone that, "even though you disabled it, the phone will still continue to try to pick up these services, like 3G). Is there a app that will fully disable these features?
Also is there anyway up speeding up my phone. I have a Rooted T-Mobile MyTouch 3G w/ the CyanogenMod 4.2.13. I heard that there is a "10MB Hack", but I also heard that it will slow down your games.

I just picked up a new 32 GB micro SD card for my infuse and at first I had trouble getting anything to read it, but it turned out to be something with the directories (specifically my mp3 player).
But now half of my apps won't get past the "loading" status and I imagine it's because some of the data is on the old SD card. They do load just fine when I have that in. I tried copying everything over to the new card, then tried formatting the card and copying everything over again and no luck. If I re-download one of those apps, it seems to keep my settings. I wouldn't mind re-downloading them all except that I can't even see the names of the apps on the home screen (just says loading) and I can't remember everything.

I got a Kyocera Hydro for Boost. Anyway, the phone worked marvelously- until my power button got stuck. Mailed in to Kyocera, just got a replacement in the mail a few days ago.
Ever since, my apps will only work on WiFi. Occasionally, they will sort of function on my 3G connection, but even at full reception, I'm getting super slow loading with FB, Netflix 90% of the time will never load or go to a black screen, Pandora won't do anything, etc. I'm still able to check my email and do Google searches. Actually, now that I think of it, I've only tried to use my FB app on Wifi, I'm not actually sure the rest work on it. Will have to test later.
I have not a clue why suddenly I can't use my apps. I even checked my data usage, but if I'm reading it right, I haven't even used 1gb of data, and Boost kind of slows you down after I thing 2GB, if I recall.
ETA: I can't even get the stinking Play Store to load, and IF it does, when I try to select anything, THEN it won't load.

I download apps from play store, amazon appstore and other places..
When I restart my phone, Some apps (no matter where are they from (play, amazon, etc.)) They stop working.. they dont work anymore.. and I will have to re install the apps again and loss all data
And also some apps that still work, they start like its the first time I am starting them and all data in them are lost..
I tried multiple things to fix this like I factory reset my phone and also tried to flash new version of stock rom but I still have this problem.
My device: Galaxy Note 2, jelly bean 4.1.2, rooted (no custom rom indtslled)

I am running android 4.0.3 on a Samsung galaxy s2 from vodafone and will like to have a light firmware. What processes or apps can I remove without affecting the way the phone functions (i.e. google partner setup). Is it possible to create a program to remove all unwanted processes without flashing a new ROM.
I'll also like to increase the connectivity speed to HSPA+.
Addition of new information.
I came across this article on XDA's main page and thought I share it. It is self explanatory and I think it should work on any version.

Any specific reason for "force gpu rendering" to be enabled in the settings on most of these jellybean Roms?
I was reading that this is an old hack for ICS and under, and with jellybean this disables important CPU optimizations and is unnecessary.

For some reason, sometimes when I boot up my phone, I'm unable to use the apps that are on my sdcard (froyo no root). It's not that my sdcard doesn't work, because I'm still able to listen to music.
It also happens most of the time I connected my phone to my pc and then reconnect it. I sometimes also can't unmount the sdcard. this happened before and I tried factory restoring the phone and reformating the sdcard. It seemed to work for a while, but now the problem has returned.

Trying to install apps on their wildfire? I read the post below about some apps not working on the wildfire, but from that thread it looks more to do with the screen. The latest app I tried to download was keeper password protector. When I try to install it from appbrain it says it cannot be found, and when I try to find in market it doesn't exist. Its like the app has been removed from the market. I know it can be downloaded as my girlfriend has a desire and it is fine on that.

Is is possible to load/install apps by simply putting the APK file on a SD Card?
I'm trying to figure out a way to preinstall apps (prior to handing them out i mean) in a large corporate environment without the need of going though Marketyplace.
I know I can point the device to an APK file on the web and do an install that way, but I'm looking for a way to preinstall the app in a more expedited way. Ideally, writing this onto SD and poping in the Card into each device is ideal in our setup. Is this possible? Any suggestions?

I just switched to the Moment and I'm really digging it so far, except for the battery. I was wondering if anyone knows of an app out there or some settings that can prevent apps from loading automatically. Often, I find that apps like Sprint Nav, Sprint TV, Moxier Mail, etc. loaded automatically. I'm getting tired of killing apps all day long to save memory and battery. It seems like my Moment doesn't want to run with more than 30mb free cause it just keeps loading apps until it gets to around 26-30mb.

here is my question: I like the 'ANDROID' nice phone, I am on 'Sprint', I know the phone has so much internal HD space, and the '8GB Micro' is not very much also, so this is a 3 part question:
1- is it possible (I know every thing is possible true!) to remove unnecessary applications (e.g. NASCAR, peep, qik, sprint futbol, sprint TV, sprint zone, teeter, YouTube) I don't have need for them, and they take 'space' I could use for another that I prefer.
2- Can I install upz. on the 'SD Card' and run them from there?
3-If I 'root' the phone (to get rid of the applications) can it be put back to 'factory specs' and save the warranty?

I know there are a few threads similar to this but I didnt see one that really answer my question. Basically when you press on PHONE and the dialer with the keypad and the contacts/call history shows up. Basically, that screen have my FACEBOOK contacts and my PEOPLE contacts. And because of that I have like 1200 contacts...some I dont even talk to like that and some dont even have phone numbers but its there. I dont know how to get rid some of it. Basically, I want to know how to get rid of some of the FACEBOOK contacts. Or if I cant do that, is there any way to have the PEOPLE contacts show only when you press on the PHONE button? I have tried LONG PRESS....EDITING the facebook contacts.

Been talking to Lekky and we have all these great things grouped into one thread. One important thread is side mounting the captivate. Things it gives you are SDK which can be downloaded for PC or Mac. Drivers again PC or Mac.
Then Root access no biggie
Busy box no biggie.
Then it goes into the CMD language for PC on how to edit the database file using CMD prompts to enable the sideloading of APKs directly on the phone.......................

I want to display a fancy 'loading' image at my app's startup time.
The problem: my startup code is mostly GUI related, hence needs to run on UI thread.
Is there a way to do both - that is run UI-related code on UI thread while an image is displayed to the user?

I uploaded about 50 pictures from iPhoto (using a Mac) just to see what they looked like and then later formatted the Droid's SD card, so the pictures were no longer there.
Now, if I mount the Droid via USB and view the file structure there is a folder named /albumthumbs which contains 50 files, presumably for the 50 pictures a had on the SD card.
To me, these file, unless linking to actual photos stored on the SD card, take up extra space in the phone's memory (not worried about the SD card). I wonder if I can safely delete them (just the files...not the folder)?

I've looked through the documentation and I can't seem to figure out how to have the screen blured/greyed when I select an activity that may take a while to load.
This seems to be an Android standard (both the Camera app and the Camcorder app do it when first selected), but I don't see any documentation on it. I even tried looking through the source of these apps on git, but couldn't seem to find it.
