Automagic Forum

Hello @all,

I have created two flows that essential do the following:

- When connected to my BT car radio, start TomTom (a popular satnav app in Europe)
- When my BT car radio disconnects, stop / kill off the TomTom application.

Both flows work, however, every time Automagic kills off TomTom (I tried: Stop app, kill app process with both SIGTERM and SIGKILL signals...), TomTom restarts again within a few seconds (up to a minute or so).

I do not think this is a malfunction of Automagic, but I think there is some kind of system service or something like that that restarts TT if it is stopped by something else than the user interface.

I would be glad if anyone had an idea on how to shut off TT so that it does not restart without me wanting it to.

Greetings,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

Android usually restarts services after a few seconds when the services are killed with a regular kill command.
You can try to use force-stop on a rooted device:
Execute Root Command: am force-stop com.tomtom.dach

Replace com.tomtom.dach with the package name of the app you want to kill.

There are some other useful commands listed in this post: DIY-Actions

Try this locale plugin:

It used to work for me at llama.
