What is autoload on android. How to disable auto-loading of apps on Android? There is a simple solution! Disable autostart applications by built-in tools

Read how to remove applications from startup on Android devices. Why you need to do this, how it helps to optimize and speed up your phones.

Operating room Android system full of surprises. Buying new smartphone you may face too much slow work software... This may be due to big amount applications that are in startup. In this article, we will show you how to fix the situation. And for novice users, we will tell you about what the startup section is, and why it is generally needed.

Any operating system consists of a large number of software. Some applications are launched at the user's command, but many of them start along with the operating system itself. That is, they are in the so-called "startup". Moreover, over time, there are added additional programs downloaded from Google play... This is done for several reasons. Let's say messengers need constant work to receive messages on time. Well, some programs get into startup so that their launch does not take much time. Let's take a look at a few popular examples:

• Calculator - used relatively rarely, so it should not be in startup.
• WhatsApp - this messenger works in constant mode, it must be launched together with the operating system.
• Gallery - everything here depends on the wishes of the user. This application does not need to be in startup, but staying in this section will speed up the launch of the program when it is still needed.

Do not forget that the more applications are in startup, the more volume random access memory consumed. Our article can not be read by owners of smartphones on Android base with at least 4 GB of RAM. The rest should familiarize themselves with the information presented - freeing up the RAM will lead to some acceleration of the device.

If on a computer, to get to the corresponding section, you only need to enter the word "Startup" in search bar Start menu, things are a little more complicated in the case of Android. The fact is that the "green robot" by default only grants us user rights, not an administrator. In this regard, you can guess as much as you like where the Android autoload is hiding - this section will remain inaccessible. But this does not mean that we do not have the ability to remove this or that application from startup at all.

How do I remove an application from startup?

Many users believe that it is enough to regularly use one or another optimizer - for example, CCleaner. But in fact, such programs free up RAM only partially - they are not capable of managing Android autoload, which means that the closed programs will soon start again. Alas, this means that the task becomes more complicated - you will have to work in manual mode. That is, you will have to go to a special section where you need to go through all the programs that you want to remove from startup.

In the absence of root rights, you have only one way - the so-called disabling applications. In some versions operating system this is also called stopping the program. To do this, follow these steps:

1. Go to the "Settings" section. To do this, you need to click on the corresponding icon in the menu or notification panel.
2. Go to the subsection "Applications". It may also be called "Application Manager" or something similar.
3. Here you will see a list of programs installed on your smartphone. Click on the application you would like to stop.
4. In the menu that opens, click on the "Stop", "Stop" or "Disable" button.

That's all, now this program will not load along with the operating system. But from now on you will not find it in the menu either. Want to turn it back on? Then you will have to go to the same section, now going to the "Stopped" tab (for this you need to swipe one or two times with your finger from right to left).

The authors of SmartBobr recommend disabling the Facebook client in this way if you do not use this social network, and the pre-installed application cannot be removed from your smartphone. You will be surprised how time will grow after this. autonomous work... The fact is that this program collects large amounts of data about the user, which affects energy consumption.

What if you are not allowed to disable applications?

It is quite possible that the "Stop" button is inactive. That is, it cannot be pressed. This can be due to several reasons:

• The application is a system application, and you do not have root rights to close it. It is not recommended to disable such processes, as this can lead to unstable operation of the operating system and even a complete shutdown of the device.
• Android blocks the ability to stop applications due to lack of developer rights - this happens in some versions of the operating system.
• The virus program disguised itself as a system process, thus blocking the possibility of stopping it.

Solve two recent problems usually it is possible not only by obtaining root rights, which is laborious and not available to the owners of all smartphones, but also by activating developer rights. After enabling this mode, some hidden Android functions... In particular, the aforementioned menu of the program will indicate how much energy it consumes, what auxiliary processes are used, and everything in the same spirit. To activate developer mode, follow these steps:

1. Visit the "Settings" section by clicking on the corresponding icon, usually made in the form of a gear.
2. Go to the subsection "Phone Information". It can also be called "Device Information", this is most relevant for tablet computers.
3. Next, you should quickly click on the item "Build number" several times.
4. Wait for the message "You are a developer now" or something like that to appear on the screen. After that, return to the main menu "Settings".
5. Almost at the very bottom, you should see a new subsection. It may be called Developer Options or Developer Options.

That's all. In this subsection, you can find the item "Running applications". In fact, this is the same link that leads to the "Application Manager". Only now will you be able to see absolutely all programs that are currently running, including many system processes. It remains only to click on the unwanted application, and then tap on the "Stop" button. If even in this case it remains inactive, it means that the system considers the closure of this process unacceptable. Of course, if you have root rights, you can also close such an application. But, we repeat, we do not advise you to do this.

If you are the proud owner of a smartphone or tablet with root access, then we have developed for you special applications allowing you to work with the startup section. However, it is impossible to advise something specific in this case. The fact is that everything here depends on the implementation of a specific version of the operating system. With some of them, some utilities work, with others - the second, with the third - others. Nevertheless, we will advise you on several options.

On some popular smartphone models, the program feels great. It provides extensive functionality related to deep settings of the operating system. Included in the application and startup manager.

Also, if you have root rights, you can try installing BootManager. It is an autoloader module that runs in the Xposed Framework. This means that you first need to install the Xposed Installer program, which can be found either on the developer's website or on the w3bsit3-dns.com forum. After installation, you need to go into the program and click on the "Download" item. Here you can easily find the BootManager module, then download and install it on your device.

BootManager provides absolutely complete control over the startup of applications and services. Including this startup manager for Android can almost kill a smartphone, because if you have root rights, it will not be difficult to disable system processes, which are extremely important for the functioning of Android, with its help. So be careful! Do not remove from startup programs you do not know about their purpose.

By the way, don't forget to use the Internet! If you see some strange process in startup, but its name does not tell you anything, then try entering it into Google or Yandex. It is possible that the search engine will help you by giving out the purpose of the process.

We can advise the owners of "rooted devices" and one more startup program for Android. It's called Autostarts. Unlike the analogs discussed above, it can be downloaded from Google Play, which is very convenient. However, the utility is paid - you will have to spend about 61 rubles to buy it. Its other drawback is its ascetic interface - greetings from the distant past. But this is unlikely to scare you if you got almost to the end of our article on autoloading on Android.

The program allows you to control which applications and services will be loaded simultaneously with the operating system. But its functionality is not limited to this. Additionally, the utility offers to control the events that trigger the launch of certain processes. In a word, it is a good choice for those who love to conduct various experiments with their device.

Conclusion

Perhaps this is where our story about autoloading on Android ends. We tried to mention all the easiest ways to eliminate certain applications from startup so that they do not consume a certain amount of RAM.

Phone makers often equip their smartphones various applications that start working with system startup.

Not everyone likes it, and some on the contrary - they are not enough, although they slow down devices and reduce RAM.

The most interesting thing about all this is that manufacturers do not allow end users to add an application to autorun that would start with the system.

Just imagine if, along with the system, everyone started social networks and after a while you will receive all unread messages.

Great solution, isn't it? It turns out that this is not so difficult to do, just not with android tools, but by outsiders.

Some time ago, "Autostarts no root" appeared on Google Play, through which you can add specific applications into the system autorun.

Manufacturers, as a rule, integrate a lot of unnecessary things into autorun, so in order to increase the speed of the phone and reduce the battery drain, I recommend removing the unnecessary, and turning on what is required -

Program add application to autostart android - Autostarts no root

Applications can be different, and their number is not limited. The process of adding itself is quick and easy.

The most important thing, however, is that you don't need root privileges because the functionality is immediately unlocked.

After starting, you will see a large button responsible for activating autorun, as well as a button below for adding applications that will start with the system.

By default, the button is displayed as "OFF", which means disable. Click on it to show "ON" - add.

Now click on the "ADD" button which means "Add". A list of installed programs will open.

Select the desired item and just tap on it with your finger. I choose "CCleaner" as an example.

Now we look at what happened and, as we see in the picture below, the application was added and the Russian language is absolutely not in demand.

When you add items, they will be marked in the corresponding autorun list. Just? Very much, moreover, the program is completely free.

• ATTENTION: unnecessary elements to go to zero, so to speak.

Pros and cons of adding apps to autostart with Autostarts no root

• + Simple controls
• + the ability to easily add applications to autorun
• - no Russian language version

The above program is certainly not the only one. A lot of them. I provided only the one that I liked.

Of course, tastes are different., But here, perhaps, the dispute is inappropriate. The main thing is that the demanded element is added.

Just don't overdo it. The simultaneous launch of a large number has three disadvantages.

1. The phone will work slower
2. RAM usage will increase
3. The battery will drain faster

There are tons of applications that start automatically, if you turn on your Android smartphone. Most of them are necessary for the system to function properly. But there are also user-installed applications that are downloaded with the smartphone. Moreover, they run in the background and consume system resources touch device. In this case, you can try to remove them from the system startup.

It is extremely important to remember that you CANNOT disable some applications from startup, otherwise the smartphone will simply stop working the next time you start it! Therefore, disable only those applications that will not interfere with the operation of your device. All the risks associated with disabling the autorun of the application fall only on your shoulders.

Stopping the application manually

Everything is simple here: the application is stopped manually until it is turned on again (just open the application with a tap on its icon on the desktop) or restart the smartphone. That is, if, for example, you need to turn off the messenger so that messages do not come, you can use this method as the simplest one.

Go to settings.

Find the section with applications.

Select an application.

Click on the "Stop" button.

Confirm the action by clicking OK.

Installing All-In-One Toolbox without root and with root

Removal application unnecessary files and optimize your smartphone's system. Works with devices with or without root rights.

Open the Play Market.

In search, write all in one toolbox and click on the application icon.

Install.

Run the application. If you have root rights, we recommend using them: without root rights, some applications can still be added to startup.

Give the app access to files on the device.

Scroll - at the bottom of the menu, tap on the "Startup" button.

In the first tab "Custom Applications" you can see installed applications with autostart:

In the tab "System applications" - respectively, system:

To disable the autostart of the application, just click on the switch so that it changes color, and the line under it changes the name Enabled to Disabled, for example:

In this case, application autorun is disabled.

The Android platform, like other operating systems, starts to work slower after a certain time. On expensive premium devices, the performance degradation is practically not felt, because they have powerful processor and more than enough RAM. But not everyone can afford such gadgets, so for many this problem as relevant as ever.

There can be many reasons for a decrease in productivity, but the most probable and common, as a rule, only one - work third-party programs in the background. That is, such applications are launched in automatic mode at the start of the system and load the processor with RAM, thereby directly affecting the speed of the device.

The only viable option in this case is to disable the autostart of applications on Android and work without lags and brakes. But not everything is as simple in this matter as it seems at first glance, and the platform, together with software developers, often throws up problems.

Should I disable auto-launching applications?

If you install a dozen programs on the platform every day, then, in principle, there should be no problems here. Because the platform itself must, so to speak, fight for RAM. That is, if the performance of the gadget starts to drop, then the system automatically closes unused applications to stabilize the OS.

It is possible to disable auto-starting programs in Android manually, but this will already be counterproductive measures, and in some cases they are simply not needed. But it also happens that some program does not want to be closed even by the efforts of the platform itself. As a result, the processor is loaded, the RAM is cluttered, and the performance, along with the battery charge, tends to zero.

Features of the procedure

But you shouldn't disable auto-start of applications on Android for everyone. There are necessary exceptions, such as official applications from Google and some working antivirus software... Of course, the Android platform has good protection against the fool, and if you unknowingly try to stop systemic or really important processes, the system will warn you, and very persistently.

But the sad truth says that a good half of the programs downloaded from the Web (usually games and illegal ones) settle in autorun and prevent the operating system from working normally. And, as mentioned above, the only option is to simply disable automatic start applications on Android. This is exactly what we will try to do, since there are enough tools to solve this problem.

So, let's figure out how to disable autorun of applications on Android and do it as painlessly as possible both for the platform itself and for the user. Consider the main options for solving the problem and features different versions OS.

Disable autorun on "Android 4.x.x"

Before turning off auto-starting programs in Android, you need to find out which applications are consuming (and if they are consuming at all) the resources of the operating system. To do this, go to the gadget's settings and open the "Applications" or "Application Manager" section.

It should be noted right away that disabling the autorun of unnecessary processes in Android 4.2.2 by local means is only a temporary solution, and you will need third-party software to make drastic changes.

Process features

Next, you need to find the "Launched" tab and familiarize yourself with it. Play Market from Google mail clients and programs with a specific android icon should not be touched, but the rest should be carefully looked at. The occupied amount of RAM is displayed next to each application. By this indicator, it is precisely possible to determine the gluttony of the software. To disconnect, you must select an unwanted application and tap on "Force Stop", and then answer "Yes" or "Ok".

If some suspicious utility is running, then it is also better to disable it. Autostart applications on Android will start after each reboot of the gadget, so the procedure will have to be repeated over and over again. But often there is no need to reboot the operating room, so this temporary solution suits many people. As mentioned above, it will be possible to remove startup programs in Android only with the help of third-party task managers.

Disable autorun on "Android 6.x.x"

With Marshmallow firmware, things are not so simple. It is not clear why, but the developers have put in the ability to disable auto-launch of applications on "Android 6.0.1" and in versions above, as they say, to hell with the horns. In principle, the new "Android" is very good in terms of optimization, flexibility of user settings and visual component. But the system functionality is hidden very well.

Before you can disable the autostart of applications on "Android 6.x.x", you must enable the developer mode. In the menu, go to "Settings", then "Information about the device", and then you need to click several times on the item "Build number". After that, developer mode is activated and special functionality is available.

Features of the procedure

After that, you need to go to the "Settings" again, and the "Developer options" item will already appear there. Click on it and select the "Running services" section. Here, by analogy with previous generations of the Android OS, there is a list of active applications. You can see the total running time of programs, their disk space and the amount of RAM.

To disable the process, you need to tap on the active application and select the "Disable" item. Then the program should close. But this procedure, again, is a temporary solution to problems, and after a reboot everything will be the same. You can completely get rid of the application in startup by only deleting it or adopting specialized third party utilities... We will consider the most intelligent representatives of the latter below.

Greenify

This is one of the most popular utilities for managing the startup of your mobile gadget. The software can be used with or without administrator rights (root). In the first case, the application will disappear from startup once and for all, and in the second, you will have to make a couple of clicks after restarting the gadget.

After installation, the utility will leave its widget on the desktop. By clicking on it, you will go to the working area of ​​the program. To exclude from the startup list unnecessary applications just click on the plus at the bottom of the screen and add problem program in the list of prohibited. With root rights, it is enough once, and without them you will have to open Greenify and confirm the previously performed actions.

The interface of the program is simple, understandable, and even a beginner in this business can handle it, not to mention hard-core users. The product is distributed by free license, but there is also a paid option with advanced functionality. The latter will be useful for advanced users, and ordinary modifications will be enough for ordinary users.

Autostarts

This application allows you to get full control above startup. Using the utility without the obtained administrator rights is pointless, because the programs will be in their places with each reboot.

The software neatly and with due meticulousness puts everything on the shelves. In the menu, you can configure what will be launched before, during and after the operating system boots. All processes are decrypted in as much detail as possible, which makes it possible to find out their interference with the platform with a byte precision.

The interface is simple and the toolkit is intuitive. In addition, the application is fully Russified, so no problems should arise. Here in the menu you can free up memory on the internal and external storage as well as play around with your battery consumption settings. The last moment allows you to turn off a good half of the system processes at low charge and return them at high. The thresholds are easily adjusted in percentage terms.

The product has both paid and free modifications, but, as in the case of Greenify, the first ordinary users completely unnecessary.

Disabling autorun applications should undoubtedly speed up the start in a smartphone or tablet. It makes no difference android 5 or android 6 and you can do this trick without root.

To disable a system element, it must be removed from the autorun list ( automatic download when the gadget is turned on).

You can add other elements that do not start loading at startup, if necessary, and not just remove them.

NOTE: for some system applications in android it is impossible to make a ban at startup, or rather, after that the phone may not work at least with full functionality.

The first way to cancel autostart applications on android

NOTE: this option is not very effective, with its help forced blocking is done, but it is not a fact that after restarting the application will not automatically start, especially if it was built by the manufacturer.

Therefore, this option is not particularly hungry, but there is nothing else to use in android - it is not provided by the developer.

As they say, what we have, then we have - if the attempt was unsuccessful, do not write in the comments it did not work out (I am powerless to help), but go to the second option.

The second option is much preferable, more efficient and faster, it only requires the installation of the program.

In the first method, enter the settings, open the applications and go to the application manager (it may not appear on older versions).

Select which one you want to disable and click on it. For example, on android 5.1, I choose the newly installed "Klondike".

On the left, I click "Disable", and then click on "Force Disable".

Now I reboot the Samsung Galaxy smartphone and see what happened.

As you can see, the blocking turned out to be successful - it was possible to stop the "Klondike" in autorun. Everything is done without root and additional programs.

NOTE: I will not write how things are on older versions of android now, since there are no such devices now. Only android 5.1, 6.0.1 and with android 7.0.

The second way to prevent auto-launching applications on android

For this option, you will need to install an additional program that can disable autorun.

There are many such developments. Some require root, others can do without it (a lot depends on what to disable). I have my own selection.

Simple and choose for yourself on your own. Everything is in Russian.

If the goal is achieved, great. If there is no comment form to help, we will decide together.

The Internet, as always, is not silent about the topic of how to stop android applications in autostart, so that the device becomes more frisky.

All agree on one thing - this requires third-party programs, in particular the Boot Manager - there are no system tools.

Undoubtedly - an option, with Boot Manager it will ride with android versions 2.3, 3.4, 4.4 and so on, only root, you also need it.

NOTE: it is very easy to get root access on versions 4.0 and below, but when trying on android 5, not to mention android 7, the barriers are insurmountable, unless you do a re-grafting.

Who got root, after installing Boot Manager, you will need to run Xposed Installer and activate Boot Manager, then restart your tablet or smartphone.

After starting the phone, launch Boot Manager, see the list of applications in autorun and you can quickly disable the required ones.

The first is paid - the second is free, and what is most important is the name - you can disable it without root rights.

The functionality of the first is simply impressive, however, as for paid program it's quite normal.

ATTENTION: the fewer programs there are in autorun, the faster the device will start, the system memory will be kept in reserve, and the battery will stay “afloat” longer.

IMPORTANT: having super-rights, you do not intend (unknowingly) to disable unnecessary - the result: in best case failure of some functions. Be careful. Good luck.
