How to Disable Apps Running In The Background in Android

If you ask any Android expert for the solution to fix a slow phone, one of the answer you will receive is to uninstall the unnecessary apps so they won’t run in the background. But what if you need an app to be installed (even though you are only using it occasionally) and yet preventing it from running in the background?

One solution is to make use of a Task Manager and kill the background running app regularly. Alternatively, you can disable the app totally so it won’t (and can’t) be running in the background at all.

Here’s how you can manually disable apps from running in the background without your permission.

Note: This trick will only work in selected phone. It does not work in the stock Android in the Nexus device.

1. Go to the “Settings” section in your phone.

2. Scroll down and go to Applications manager.

3. Swipe from right to left until you reach the “All applications” tab.

4. Now, tap on the app you want to disable from running in the background and it will show you two buttons: Disable and Force Stop. Tap on Disable.

It will ask you for confirmation whether you want to disable the app, just tap OK.

And you are done. Now, the app will not run in the background even if any other application tries to execute it. If you want to enable it, just follow the same steps. However, one thing you should note here is that if you disable any application, it will disappear from the App Drawer and will not be available till you enable it again. You can also use the Force Stop to temporarily stop the app from running.

How to Shrink Images To Save Space On Your Android

You’re going to be hard-pressed to find an Androidphone with less than a 3 megapixel rear-facing camera. The better the camera, the larger the image is. Almost all images are stored on external storage, but if you take a lot of images, you will either need a really large card or need a way to make the images smaller. Since you don’t want to lose the quality of the image, you will need a way to better optimize it for storage on your Android. Image Optimizer will shrink images to save space on your Android.

If you’re familiar with GIMP or Photoshop, you might be aware of an option called “Save for the Web“. Basically this feature compresses the image and takes out all the bits of information not needed in the picture while still retaining quality. That’s what Image Optimizer does for images on your Android device.

Here’s an example of what the compressed image size can be.

As you can see, the image was compressed to over fifty percent its original size. Using Image Optimizer to shrink images to save space is fairly easy. When you open the application, you’ll immediately see all of the images available on your phone or tablet. To choose an image or images to optimize, tap on the image. When you have all of the images chosen, press the button at the bottom of the screen to start optimizing.

This is one of those unique applications that has one purpose and one purpose only. It’s not cluttered with tons of extra features or options to weigh it down.

The default settings do a decent job of compressing the image. The compression setting is set to compress up to seventy-five percent. Depending on the size of the image, this can take a little while. If you have multiple images it can take even longer. If you require more compression or optimization, you can go into the settings and increase the optimization level or compression percentage. Keep in mind these will increase the amount of time it takes to optimize the image.

There is a difference in the way PNG and JPG images are handled. With a PNG image about 600 KB, and all of the compression and optimization settings cranked up as high as they would go, it took about two minutes to optimize the image on a single core processor tablet. After the image was optimized, the size of the image only went down about 100 kB. While this performance is decent, a JPG image will allow for much more size reduction.

As with any image compression, there is always the possibility of  the image being slightly distorted or showing a loss of quality. You can play around with the settings to find a happy medium between the compressed size and retention of quality.

Final Words

No matter where you’re storing your images, at some point you are likely going to need more space. Getting into the habit of compressing or optimizing your images might not be a bad habit to learn.

What do you do when you need to shrink images to save space?

Get Virtual Desktops On Windows

[Windows only] If you constantly find your desktop cluttered with application windows, then a virtual desktop manager might be what you need to get yourselves organized.

Virtual desktops are useful in that they provide you with extra desk space to place your applications windows. You can easily move your windows from one workspace to another and sort them according to their functionality.

Supporting a maximum of 20 virtual desktops, it allows you to define your virtual desktops in a matrix size of your liking. With only a small icon at the taskbar, it does its job without providing an obstructive view to the desktop.

One thing unique about VirtuaWin is its ability to add modules to improve its functionality. If you find that the core application is lacking in certain areas, you can always find a plugin in their database and add it to the core. In addition, VirtuaWin has a portable version that you can bring it on your USB thumb drive.

2. Vista/XP Virtual Desktop Manager

Vista/XP Virtual Desktop Manager is one of the best virtual desktop manager around. It can support unlimited virtual desktops as long as your system has enough resources to support it. It has a nice and easy to use interface. Transition from desktop to desktop is smooth and you are able to set a different wallpaper for each desktop. This is useful for identifying which desktop you are in. Due to its graphical performance, this application will take up slightly more resources than the rest.

One unique point about Vista/XP virtual desktop manager is its ability to show a full screen preview of all the desktops and let you choose which you want to access.

3. Virtual Dimension

As the same as Vista/XP Virtual Desktop, Virtual Dimension also allows you to configure unlimited number of desktops. Virtual Dimension is useful because it give you fully customization. If you are the type who like to define your own hotkeys and have different setting for each desktop, then Virtual Dimension is suitable for you.

When loaded, you can find a small window showing all the available desktops. You can drag the window and place it where that is not obstructive, yet is convenient enough for you to access it.

4. Dexpot

Dexpot is somewhere in between Vista Virtual Desktop and Virtual Dimension. It allows you to see a full screen preview of all your desktops and also customize configuration for each and every one of the desktops. Users can set up to 20 virtual desktops and different wallpapers can be set for each desktop.
