Make CC not start on boot

[roadrunnerm]

My Android tablet has memory enough but more and more apps will starting with android will always live in my memory.
There is no need for it to do that , i use the tablet occasional for reading E-books but not everytime i start my tablet.

I am confused by this comment. When I check my phone and my tablet Calibre Companion does not start up with android and CC does not take up any memory before actually being run. Do you see something different?

@DoctorOhh: CC does start on boot, but it isn't the CC you normally see.

It starts on boot for 2 reasons:
1) to set the auto-connect and auto-news-delete timers. There is no way to know whether or not to set them except by starting and looking. The part of CC that starts is tiny, has no UI, and dies as soon as the timers are set.
2) to fill in any book widgets. This happens only if there are widgets on the desktop. Again, it is a tiny part of CC, and it dies as soon as the widgets have been filled in.

On all my devices, CC leaves no trace in memory after it finishes the boot processes. In addition, when Android needs memory it automatically unloads applications that haven't run for a while. CC will get flushed that way even if it is started normally. For these reasons the OP's claim that it "will always live in memory" is almost certainly wrong. And here I must apologize. The addition of the "angry" icon annoyed me and colored my response.

This explains my confusion. I have many apps that whenever I look they always are always running and seem to always have a foot print in memory. So when I searched and found no trace of CC even though I knew something happened because my widget was populated I was confused.

Certainly this is my experience.

No apology required. I don't know what some folks are thinking when they deploy an "angry" icon. Do they think it some how helps? If I was talking about a bad experience with a company or individual I might use an angry icon, but if I was requesting something special from that company or individual it just doesn't make sense.
