Is there a way to postpone a system service (for example Alarm Manager) that are started by system server after the ACTION_BOOT_COMPLETED has been sent?

You cant meaningfully do this. The BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast is the trigger for 3rd party software to begin execution, and all system services must be available at that point in time in case the 3rd party apps want to use them.

Can you go into a bit more detail about why you want to do this? What problems are you running into?

Android: Is there a persistent storage for framework services like Apps have with preferences?

I want to know if there is a way to some settings to be used by framework services such as ActivityManagerService of WindowManagerService like apps can do with preferences. They should be able to store some of their variables into some persistent storage and read them at bootup.

Currently, I found only the xml files in res/res folder but this is editable only at compile time.

Cleanly shutdown or kill Android services

I'm looking for the equivalent of a rc0.d script to take down Android in a clean way so that it can be restarted. In my usecase, Android is running within a jailed chroot for reasons I can't go into great detail about. However, I would like the ability to essentially kill all of the Android services and relaunch on command.
I cannot/will not be using the standard Android dialogs for much and don't want to use the power-off dialog or anything.
I have done some searches and they've all lead me to the ShutdownThread.java file which sends the INTENT_SHUTDOWN to stop a couple of services and then either reboots or shuts down the phone. I only want the first part with no action taken on the device itself (not that it would do much in my case anyway)..
