there are some apps that just don't make sense (for me) to run in the background. for example if ebay is running in the background I am ok with that since it performs a function I desire. but I can not think of a reason why slacker should be in the background on boot or ever. same with quite a few other apps.
I want then to run when I run them but when they are backgrounded I want them dead  how do I do this? |
Well that's what this thread is for, to discuss how to cut down on apps that start on boot, and how to manage memory in Android.
If you read the links, I provide one to the
FAQ that jumps directly to the ADB section. This in turn has a link titled 'logs' that explains how you pull logs.
The commands can be entered in a local console on the phone (ConnectBot, Terminal Emulator, whatever) or thru adb. I find thru adb to be much easier, once you get it setup of course. I guess I need to flesh out a how-to a little more, gimmie time I threw this together kinda quickly and on a whim. Reading the links I provided & searching is always a good practice, but I will try to flesh out the explanations...
