Limit running programs Android/tune Android

Hi,

I have a pretty clean Galaxy S5, when I look at the running programs there are tons of them!
How can I prevent them from starting and how do I know which I can safely disable/prevent from starting?

You cant stop a lot of these programs running in the background unless you root your android device.
This like jailbreaking an iPhone.

There are some risks involved, so research it carefully before you take the big step.

Beware - Rooting will invalidate your warranty!

With all do respect AGAIN I find that solutions provided here are NOT correct.
The app all-in-one-toolbox gives you the option to disable programs at startup. I have it running so YES I'm sure about it.
I seriously doubt the quality of answers provided.

Fyi I have used apps like the "all-in-one-toolbox" to disable apps with just as much success as what I've described above. In other words, I would do it manually to avoid having another app running (all in one toolbox). Those kind of apps boost your phone and you're better off without them. Especially look at the permissions they require when you install them.
