Auto-starting apps?

[MarkHaysHarris777]

Hi Mark

If I understand correctly, are you saying that if I launch an app and reboot the device, that app will still be active?

I'm probably not explaining this well - basically I've got Tasker installed which, on a standard Android phone (to the best of my experience), starts on boot. Within Tasker, I have a profile with a system event of Device Boot which, on my phone, launches as normal when the device is rebooted. This doesn not happen on the Pine and, unlike the phone, there is no notification drawer (or whatever the pull-down menu is called) to display which profiles are active.

Can you see any way around this?

I understand what you're talking about;  Android was not intended to be rebooted !  ... and most tablets and phones are not rebooted;  if you have a launcher app that launches your other apps at startup great ! I can't even remember the last time I restarted my tablet nor my phone !

One of the Android devs may pipe up here too...

... just so you know, my bias is gnu+linux; the inability to control the Android environment is just one of the reasons I hate Android.
