[CLOSED] [APP][4.0.3+ & GB][XPOSED] BootManager

defim · Sep 4, 2013

Run only the apps you want at system start.
With this app modul you could prevent selected apps of running on system startup. Only apps with the permission BOOT_COMPLETED are shown in the list. System apps are marked with an exclamation mark.
To restrict system apps you have to donate. ReceiverStop accepts this donate key too!

Important:
This app needs the Xposed Framework. The framework requires root access for installation. Don't forget to enable the module in Xposed. You can grab it here: Xposed Installer

Donation:

No self-promotion in the app.
System apps could also be selected
You support this app and further development!

Changelog: http://tinyurl.com/k75vfbv

My personal intension to create this app:
IMHO the best way to prevent apps from beeing executed at sytsem startup is with Xposed - and there was now module/app available. So i created one

Translation:
You could find here a interface to translate the english strings: http://tinyurl.com/okycacj
A free account of www.oneskyapp.com is required to edit. Additional, please attach your email address or send it via PM

Description for non-developers:
Each app with permission "android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED" is placed in a (Windows slang) "startup folder". For my 200 installed apps that are about 33%. On system boot every of these apps gets started. Possible options:

app shows a notification
app starts a (hidden) service in background
app exits again (eg user has set an option)

If you disable an app in the BootManager it does not get that event and is not started at next system boot.

ReceiverStop
An app still starts at system boot? Android has many other events which could start an app!
Example: Skype has the permission "android.permission.MOUNT_UNMOUNT_FILESYSTEMS". This means, (again Windows slang) if you insert a DVD into you drive, "autorun" is executed and starts Skype.
Note: As your sd-card is mostly always inserted, this could be used to start apps at system boot....

Other triggers are: A BlueTooth device (dis-)connect, connection type changes (2g/3g/wlan) or power adapter is (un-)plugged.
All these could be restriced with my other app "ReceiverStop". Be carefull and do not disable the wrong.
Btw, ReceiverStop accepts also the donate key of BootManager.

First, your tinyurl links are broken for me...
Direct links:
http://bootmanager.apk.defim.de/
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.defim.apk.bootmanager

Then I think minimal informations (and screen shot) about application would be preferable in this thread.
Not just the link that redirects to homepage or Play Store...

Hi Defim,
Thank you for this module

This is a good job
Why not other languages ? Just German & English ?
I would like the French, please, if possible

defim · Sep 4, 2013

There's not much to say

All links are working, except www.xposed.info which is down. Maybe you ask here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

Actually I gave direct links and give my opinion on the lightness of your thread!
About broken links for some, screenshot, xposed module link, minimal information and english language,.. it's your application and it is you who see

I created this thread, because Xposed entry requires one. What's about the things you list?

System app requires donation

At list provide here in xda for experimental basis.
So we can check and give you reviews.

Also provide change logs here.

sent from my GT-N7100. Press thanks if I helped..

defim · Sep 4, 2013

There is yet in-app changelog and on both other sites. I do not really want to update a 4th place. -> i places only links to 1st post

MBariya · Sep 4, 2013

You should post change log here also, so every mate can know what changes made in new version instead of opening every time that site.

No changelog here. You have alway to click somewhere, either to open this thread or play store or xposed repository...

Simplest way: use playstore which shows changelog on update

MBariya · Sep 5, 2013

Found that system apps are removed in 1.0.2 version but they are available in 1.0.0

Donation switch also not working or directing to payment method.

I seems that it doesn't work at all.
I have adaway, go backup, audiomanager, gnotes, pulse,skype they all loaded at the boot time.

famewolf · Sep 5, 2013

If defim tried using the code that was pulled from XPrivacy very early on it's not going to be sufficient. One of the main reason the code was pulled was that apps were still triggering.

Autostarts is an alternative and it is available at f-droid.org

defim · Sep 6, 2013

Changelog is now only available on this site, updating 5 places takes much more time than writing java. http://tinyurl.com/k75vfbv (english translation will there be soon)

Se "about". Switch has no action, to not annoy people if touching it accidentally. System apps were available in 1.0.0, but only shows a msgbox -> annoying too

Please check logfile:

Code:

 cat /data/xposed/debug.log | grep BootManager

Thera are many triggers which could start an app, like connection-changes. e.g. the app com.mobidia.android.mdm has even not onboot-trigger, but stars always. Next app will be for disabling such events...

Take a look on the about menu...
I think to prevent apps to start, xposed is the best way!

henrik.dk · Sep 6, 2013

thanks. I checked the debug.log it does indicate that bootmanager does try to reject.
Would you please just investigate why skype/audio manager still load after boot?
the app I listed is quite common apps.

Skype uses the "MEDIA_MOUNTED" action, that should the cause why the app is executed. The action is triggered if a sdcard is inserted/detected,even on boot.

crispi7 · Sep 7, 2013

@defim, it's too early to make a paid version, don't you? I think that at the beginning it's better to give it free, having more testers for your new module than this way.
For example, I don't know if you are going to mantain this apk, so I prefer to wait some time before paying for it (and also others).
What do you think?

And also keep in mind that there are a lot of others apk that make the same without paying (autorun...). Anyway, it´s your decision dev

henrik.dk · Sep 7, 2013

thanks for the info. what the hell with skype to start auto when sd card is inserted.

agree with you.
Just could not find the autorun you talked about.

Maybe it' no clear, so i will clarify that i really prefer your module. I have uninstalled the other app because i prefer free source.
Please keep it up

defim · Sep 8, 2013

Everyone will complain if at a specific point some featurs of an app will be restricted. So it is better to have it from the beginning. Beside that, you could "test" the modul as long as you want for free
If I maintain my apps until eternity could noone tell you. But you could take look at the changelog of other apps by me, eg FreetzMobil (http://tinyurl.com/ktzhcl3)

Handling of broadcasts like the "MEDIA_MOUNTED" are work in progress
