Startup manager that actually PREVENTS apps from launching?

[telstrareg]

Anybody know of such an app? If the objective is to speed up boot times, it's pointless shutting down an app after its launched, which is what most startup managers seem to do.

With media scans of my sd card etc, my phone doesn't become usable for 4 to 5 mins. I don't actually have that many songs or videos.

Maybe you need a faster SD card or a faster phone?

If you uninstall (or freeze using Titanium backup) then they app can't start. Of course, it also can't start when you ask it to

Class 6 card. Doesn't get much faster.

Well, you can't get an app that will run before boot, so unless you remove or freeze an app so it can't be started, you won't be able to "kill an app before boot".

Most knowledgeable folks recommend against task killers anyway.
