[Q] How to modify an app to run at system start (AndroidManifest.xml )

[Benzonat0r]

Could anyone help me with that? I tried to modify it myself but I'm drawing a blank here, it doesn't wanna run on startup.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest android:versionCode="1" android:versionName="1.0" package="biosistemika.pcrplate"
  xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE" />
    <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED"/>
	<application android:label="@string/app_name" android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher">
        <activity android:theme="@*android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" android:label="@string/app_name" android:name=".PcrplateActivity" android:screenOrientation="landscape" />
        <activity android:theme="@*android:style/Theme.NoTitleBar.Fullscreen" android:label="@string/app_name" android:name=".MainMenuActivity" android:screenOrientation="landscape"> 
		<receiver android:name=".BootReceiver">
		<intent-filter>
                <action android:name="android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED" />
                <category android:name="android.intent.category.LAUNCHER" />
            </intent-filter>
		  </receiver>
		</activity>
	</application>
</manifest>

Thanks.

Iam not sure but
is it on external storage may be that is causing the delay

No it's installed as an app, not a system app tho.

yeah
Iam asking is it on external or internel storage as installed on sd or external storage
there is a permission with write on external so at boot if it want to start I think the external media should start up also
am I wrong?? Iam not sure tho

one more thing you have set boot permission to the app
I don't know how
and you can try using any start up applications for that

You're right it should and yet it doesn't I don't know why tho.

Yeah I know but I don't want to use any app for that, I'm doing this for for a friend and his company he works at, and I want the tablet to be as clean as possible. So no additional apps or any sort of bloatware.

mm try with the permissions rw-r-r and 0644 I guess or do a search

I've pushed it to /system/app and set permissions to 0644 and the app works but still doesn't boot on start.
