Default Is there anyway to keep progrms from auto starting?

I was wondering if there is a way to keep all of these damn stock programs from auto starting and running in the background? I downloaded Advance task killer and I always seem tons of crap running I did not start.

Would the only fix be to flash a new ROM on it?

I dont mess too much with task killers, but I believe some can autokill apps that you specify when they start running. You can also remove apps completely via command line if you don't use them at all.

Alright. But nothing free huh? haha. Even after I kill it, some of the programs will still start up in an hour or so.

are the programs that keep popping up necessary?
If not, remove via command line or be willing to taskkill it, if it bothers you.

also, autostarts has different environment variables (start up, connection changed, usb plugged in, etc.) to specify when to kill what apps (I'm not pimpin it, I'm just sayin its a good program)

I looked on the net, but I can not find the program. Can you link it?

I now use "ProcessKiller alias HTCDlg_killer" on my HTC TP2, but I do not see any killing.

Thanx in advance.

Some applications are SUPPOSED to be running all the time. Others the phone starts up so that their response time is better.

Arbitrarily killing applications is a sure-fire way to crash the phone. If you can be bothered to provide a list of what you see, someone can advise you what to leave alone.
