About Force-Stop It! (Root Required)
--- Introduction ---
This application made for benefit. Source codes will be shared as soon via github. Before you say 'Not working' etc. if you don't know what's 'Root' and risks (guaranty conditions and others), please research and learn it then write comment.
--- General Information ---
With this application, you can force-stop applications permanently. In this way, your device will be less tired processor, provide more usable memory, and increase battery use time. Without this application you can also force-stop with manually by following the path 'Settings -> Applications -> (Application Features) -> Force-Stop'. But this will be take a long time.
It don't needs to auto kill feature. Because when you kill an application, it won't start again anyway (if auto-sync is not working). Even so when all applications killed then it kills itself lastly.
This application not like to other applications. Cause other applications stops to activities on screen, not stops to running background services. If application check for 'is it running, if it's running, close it' for frequently, device will do more effort.
--- Usage ---
You must give root access to this application, otherwise won't run it.
There are 3 options on the initial screen:
1- Show running applications:
You can list the running applications and you can force-stop them.
2- Stop all:
It works when you want to stop running applications to enable the cessation of work, regardless. It is of the following reasons; the system sometimes does not give exactly which applications are running. For example; actually running 10 applications, but system can say 7 applications running, sometimes maybe zero.
3- Go settings:
You can choose which applications you want to force-stop from this page. You need to pay attention to here is as follows;
- For user applications (that you download from the play store) default process is 'force-stop' operation. Check which applications you don't want to force-stop.
- The default operation for system applications is 'don't force-stop'. Check which applications you want to force-stop. Some of the commonly used system applications will automatically selected when you install the application first.
- Using the drop-down menu checked/unchaked applications can filter quickly.
--- Suggestions ---
If you open auto-sync feature on device, applications can be restart automatically. So you can disable auto-sync feature, it's recommended that.
When you disable auto-sync, force-stop unnecessary applications, turn off your internet connection then you can increase your standby time of your device up to 8+ days (this value for LG G2, other models may change).
Can be used instead of Advanced Task Killer, Application Killer and other Kill App.

UI needs work, close running should be on 1st screen not close all that freezes and locks up my phone.

I've found this to be true with both system apps and user apps from Google play. This app also fails to stop some system apps at all. Like Bluetooth and some other system apps. Yes, my Samsung Galaxy S5 (Sprint version) is rooted and has Superuser and busybox both installed. Still using Lollipop, no custom rom installed yet. If the developer has any solution it would be appreciated!

I havea few apps that when not connected to Wifi/data will just loop, flight radar for instance will just repeat a try again dialogue. So I installed this to kill it. Rites it and it does nothing, the app is still open. In top of that the shalt is to stop everything so you have to deselect all First one ata time just to kill one app. Using the standard Android method is far quicker. So this is pointless

1) There IS an ignore list!!! 2) Don't blame the app if other apps restart, it has NOTHING to do with this app. 3) On cheap, bad and non-quality, chinese phones this app might not kill all apps

This is what i was looking for: Force stopping running apps quickly. But it should have a button to uncheck/check everything, bc often times i just want to stop one app, not all of them, and unclicking every app on the list still takes time.

It took me forever to find an app like this kind. But finally I found the best one. Thank you for making this useful and reliable app. 5 stars isn't good enough for you! Hopefully you'll make it better. I swear not to uninstall this app.

This app is must have for rooted users. Most other so called task killers just devastate battery with ads and background stuff. This app forces everything to close and combined with prevent running app, saves so much power.
Q
by Q####:
by Q####:
Good instant kill all, but there needs to be a permanent "ignore list" added to this app, so that apps the user wants to always run won't get stopped. Also, maybe a "clear the cache of all apps" would be in order to come full circle with this app. That way apps don't start back up and get glitchy from starting up with an outdated cache (it happens to me sometimes).

I used this app long for along time on all my phones until I have the S7 Edge. Now it doesn't force stop any apps running. Sad to say I can't be using the app anymore. Is there a fix?
