any bros here know how to stop apps like maps and other junk from running background for goods???? i stopped it in application/running services....I even try the ATK(advance task killer) some of the apps keep coming back, consuming my ram......any ideas?
Again, dont worry too much about not much free memory since OS will take care of it for us. But if you still would like to free up more RAM, here is a tips on how to free more memory:
No danger
1) Go to setting, Running services
- Here is list of stuff that always running in background
- You will have widget and stuff
- Identify widget that you dont use, remove it from your Home screen.
Not for novice user
2) In the same Running list, you may see Map, etc which you know you will not use, to really kill it, do this:
- Use a Terminal Emulator or ADB shell
- List all packages
CODE
pm list packages
- Disable package you dont like, for example Google Map (always running in background duh!)
CODE
pm disable com.google.android.apps.maps
This will permanently disable the App, you cant even see it anymore, no more using your precious RAM, until you enable it back:
CODE
pm enable com.google.android.apps.maps
Personally, I like having those widget in my home screen. I didn't disable any of them. What's the point of having a powerful handphone if you cannot use some fancy stuff?
