How to select Which Apps on Your Nexus 5 Are Allowed to Start Up Automatically

Before you can start this you need to get your Nexus 5 rooted running stock Android 5.0.1 and Custom Recovery

Step 1: Download the Flashable ZIP

Ynych's mod comes in the form of a flashable ZIP, so point your Nexus 5's web browser to this link to download the file.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 2: Boot into Custom Recovery

When the ZIP has finished downloading, it's time to boot your phone into custom recovery. From a powered-off state, press and hold the volume down and power buttons simultaneously. When Android's Bootloader menu comes up, press the volume down button twice to highlight "Recovery mode," then press the power button to select it.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: Install the Mod

Before you flash anything in custom recovery, it's always a good idea to make a fresh NANDroid backup. If anything goes wrong, or if you end up not liking the mod, the easiest way to get things back to normal would be to restore that backup.
But when you're ready to flash the ZIP, tap the "Install" button to begin. From here, navigate to your device's Download folder, then select the "autostart_menu.zip" file.
Next, just swipe the slider at the bottom of the screen to install the mod, then tap "Reboot System" when it's done.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 4: Select Apps That Can Run on Boot

When you get back up, head to your phone's main settings menu and you'll find a new "Autostarts" entry. In here, you'll see a list of all the apps that currently have permission to run at startup—just untick the box next to any app and it won't automatically run when you boot your phone anymore.
































 Some apps, like Android System and SystemUI need to be able to run on boot for your phone to work properly. As a rule of thumb, don't disable the startup permission for apps with "Android" or "System" in their name or an Android logo next to their entry.

Which apps did you prevent from running automatically at boot? Let us know in the comments section below, or drop us a line on Facebook, Google+, or Twitter.

Get Apple at cheapest price online and in-store on Black Friday





 Apple has started advertising intention of paying its respects to the shopping holiday this Friday by enrolling both its on- and off-line locations into the craze. The information comes courtesy of Apple's Australian online store that already has a giant banner for the event.

We're not told exactly what to expect, though the image itself showcases an iPad, a SmartCover and a pair of Apple's EarPod, tied into the shape of a bow. These will all most likely end up for sale come Friday, and we're fairly sure that the folks from the land Down Under won't be alone in their good fortunes.

As you can see, Apple will be holding sales both online and in its brick & mortar retail locations, with the former getting free shipping as a bonus. If you squint real hard and give the fine pint a read, it'll dawn on you that usual Black Friday terms apply – prices, for one, are only valid from 12:01am to 11:59pm on November 29. Moreover, Black Friday-specific deals can't be paired with other, existing offers, not to mention that the promotional prices are only applicable for the stock at hand.

You're probably already prepping yourself psychologically (and psychically, at least you should) for Black Friday, so now would be a great time to have a read through our (still) short Black Friday guide, and keep checking back for more info.

Easiest way to root your Samsung Galaxy Note 3, other Android devices

AT&T and Verizon customers, it's finally happened. After many long months of waiting, and a fairly significant bounty up for grabs, your Galaxy Note 3s can finally be rooted! Best of all, it may be the simplest method for achieving root we've ever encountered.
Towelroot is the method, and it's brought to us by none other than famed hacker geohot, known for being the first to jailbreak an iPhone and hack the PlayStation 3. And trust me when I say it's easy, because once you have the app, you'll be rooted in less than thirty seconds. Yup, no USB cables, no PCs...just one quick download and the tap of a button.


This tutorial will teach how to root  Samsung Galaxy Note 3, other Android devices (except for HTC and Motorola, for now). For a detailed explanation of how this exploit came to be, and what it actually does to gain root privileges, check out the full article by Dallas for a full breakdown

Step 1: Download TowelRoot

Go to the Towelroot homepage on your Android device and click on the lambda symbol to download the app.

Step 2: Install the APK

Next, make sure installation from "Unknown sources" is checked in Settings -> General -> Security -> Device administration, then tap on the APK file to install Towelroot.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 Be sure to check the box for I understand this app may be dangerous, then click Open once the app has been installed.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 3: Rooting Is One Click Away!

When Towelroot launches, all you have to do is click the make it ra1n button, and the process will be initiated—your Note 3 will automatically reboot, and when back up, will be rooted.

Step 4: Install SuperSU

You're rooted, but susceptible to malicious apps taking advantage without your permission. To alleviate that, head to the Google Play Store to install Chainfire's SuperSU.

After installation, launch SuperSU, allow it to update, then you'll see an option to disable KNOX. This is entirely up to you—Towelroot does not trigger KNOX modification, but letting SuperSU try to disable it will.

all you need to know about Nexus 6, Nexus 9, Nexus Player, and Android 5.0 Lollipop 2014

The new, 2014 Nexus family
The new, 2014 Nexus family

The biggest day for Android in 2014, October 15th, brought us a brand new family of Nexus devices: the first Google phablet, the Nexus 6, a powerful Nexus 9 tablet with a 64-bit Tegra K1 chip under the hood, and an interesting mix between a set-top box and a console - the Nexus Player.

However, it is the platform that powers all of these that will truly make a difference: Android 5.0 Lollipop. Yes, Google did confirm that Lollipop is the new sweet treat, and the 5.0 indicates that we’re looking at a major new release.

Android 5.0 Lollipop: “be together, not the same”


First things first, Android 5.0 Lollipop aims to unify the experience across all Android devices and screen sizes. Changes in Lollipop start with the outwards appearance that has now adopted a new ‘Material Design’ with flat looks, real-life mimicking shadows and less visual clutter. Add to this a new set of speedy animations and refreshed icons, and you have the new Lollipop looks.

Android 5.0, however, has undergone big changes under the hood as well: Google introduces a new ART runtime and the system is now 64-bit optimized, with all first-party Google apps being naturally updated for this change, while Java apps are getting the benefits of 64-bit without the need for developers to update th

Nexus 6: Motorola-made phablet with flagship price


The Nexus 6 comes not to replace the Nexus 5, but rather to complement it: it’s the newest and most powerful device in the series with a 5.9-inch Quad HD display, a Snapdragon 805 system chip, and a 13-megapixel optically stabilized camera capable of recording 4K video.

However, it’s also one to break ties with the former Google ideology of affordable Nexus phones as its starting price is right on par with other flagships at $649 off-contract. We should also note that while Android Lollipop is 64-bit-ready, the Nexus 6 will not fully benefit from this as the Snapdragon 805 SoC is a 32-bit one.

The large size of the Nexus 6 comes with the possibility to add a larger battery, and finally fix the problems of the Nexus smartphone series with longevity - the sixth edition boasts ‘24-hour’ battery life, and it comes with rapid charging technology. The Nexus 6 goes on pre-order on October 29th, and will land on store shelves on all major carriers sometime in November.

Nexus 9: the new ‘right size’ for Android tablets, with dual front speakers


The Nexus 9, a device earlier known under its HTC Volantis codename, features an 8.9-inch screen with a resolution of 1536 x 2048 pixels, and will be the first to go on sale with Android Lollipop in early November.

The tablet has got a sturdy metal frame, but a plastic back that reminds of the Nexus 5, down to design accents like round camera eye.

It’s what’s under the hood, though, that would really make those caring for performance salivate: the Nexus 9 is the first device powered by Nvidia’s Tegra K1 in its 64-bit version with two large Denver CPU cores and Kepler graphics. The open question with the K1 is battery life, and Google claims it has managed to get 9 hours of average use, which sounds good enough (but we’ve seen better).
