KulGuy,

I don't have time to re-read your posts, but tell me if this is what you want...

You get a notification from lets say Facebook...in the notification bar right? It shows for a brief time but then it disappears minutes later because Greenify has re-hibernated Facebook...and with that, the notification gets removed.

Therefor, when your phone is in standby, and if your not there to see the notification, then you don't really know that you have received it in the first place. Does this sound like the correct scenario?

If YES, then Tasker can be programmed to monitor Notifications for Facebook, and do a number of things that may help.

Examples

- it can create a Tasker notification stating that you need to check Facebook...or whatever you want it to say.

- it could even use variables to say that you have...eg, 3 Facebook notifications

- depending on the app and the circumstances, it might even be able to copy the text of the Facebook notification and place it into it's own more permanent notification. (I probably wouldn't do it this way but it might work)

I will say this...for me and my setup, I like it when an app is hibernated and it's associated notification goes away as well. But if I was using the example above with Facebook or similar, then NATURALLY, I would want to have that notification more PERMANENT...otherwise....I would not freeze Facebook in the first place.
[Greenify] bsoplinger:
I'd agree with your Facebook example. What you describe would be the ideal battery, processor and memory management solution IMHO. But I don't think that's how Greenify would do it. Or perhaps I should say can do it.

I've refrained from getting tasker simply because I program for a living and didn't want to program in my free time. But if the combination of Greenify + Tasker could at least produce a persistent notification of the form the program xxx has yyy notifications pending I'd be really happy.

Not for nothing but my touchwiz notifications persist.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
I have gone through periods trying to avoid Tasker...for different reasons...but it keeps crawling back to me...every time I want more control. :D

I am 99% positive you can acheive a useful form of a more permanent APP notification with Tasker involved with Grennify/Facebook or what have you. I actually have done this with other apps so I know that generally, it works for this purpose.

Doesn't that mean that TouchWiz is neither hibernating and/or not killed?

I would expect TW notifications to stay alive.

Hi all. Just curious..what are some of the apps you guys are greenifying?

So apparently you can afford a Nexus 10 but not £1.99?! Stop being such a tight-fisted moaning retard and buy it to support the Dev :silly:
[Greenify] thedisturbedone:
If you don't want to purchase the donate version or somehow is unable to, here's a small trick:

Use titanium backup and convert the system app to a user app and then greenify it :)

not many apps worth more than $0.99, just sayin. btw you sounds like a really poor guy :p don't know how to control money :D

so no1 will gave a mirror for this app??

please send me a pm. so that i can dl this app. i have the beta 2. but beta 3 said its not compatible...
[Greenify] gamepois0n:
check ur pm
[Greenify] arjiegodz:
thank u so much! for the link!! i just wondered why its not compatible... i think the reason is that i updated my rom?

:thumbup: :D
[Greenify] kulguy:
Yes, you got my point. What you described is exactly what I wanted.

If tasker successfully can do the job, I think greenify doesn't need to.

Thanks, it's time for me to grab it and learn how to use..

I agree with you. My suggestion of so called "notification center" is beyond what greenify is intented for. Just I was not sure that apps other than greenify itself could do the job..

I'm glad to know Tasker can do that.

Joining Greenify Community or its google groups. Detail at OP (last paragraph in red i think)
[Greenify] arjiegodz:
if greenify has a notification center then (ex: facebook) has been hibernated and its still notifying about its notification in the notification center then that means that app is not fully hibernated.
[Greenify] Phantom_11:
does that mean to greenify music apps won't accidentally stop music playback when screen's off? However, in my previous test, to greenify airdroid did break connect with computer despite the lasting notification.

[Greenify] bsoplinger:
I'm having problems with greenify. The app seems to start up correctly but then it just sits there. I even went back to the last stable release but with the same results. I compared what I see with some screen shots in this thread and noticed I don't get the black bar at the bottom with the refresh and add icons. Screenshots of both portrait and landscape follow.

Lock Feature

Wouldn't it a be a good idea if "lock feature" is added?

When you long click an app in the hibernate list, there are 3 options: refresh, hibernate, and remove

The "lock" would prevent an app from being hibernated when you press the "hibernate now" shortcut.

This would be very useful with apps that has no service background and you want to hibernate all apps except the locked ones by pressing the "hibernate now" shortcut or while the screen is off.

It's more efficient than temporarily removing apps from hibernate list to be immune from "hibernate now" shortcut and adding it back again to prevent autostarts.

You could just "lock" or "ulnock" it if needed.

Anyone else agree?
[Greenify] CM17X:
Isn't that risky?
[Greenify] jaibar:
Depends on what app you're moving from system to user space. Not all apps can be moved safely.

It is also risky to greenify or hibernate some system apps as well...

[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I'm afraid your suggestion is not practically viable.

Currently, if you activated the experimental features, when GCM push arrives, the target app is woke up to process that push message. It can do whatever it wants to, including showing notifications and starting services until hibernatized again by Greenify later.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
AirDroid seems like using a special "tricky" on-going notification other than most music apps, thus not recognized as on-going service. :(

I'm afraid this type of notification can not be correctly detected by Greenify.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
A new experimental framework patch is being tested, to keep notifications after app hibernated.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Sounds good.

What do you think about this scenario...

I have some apps that occasionally leave an UNWANTED notification while they are running, but not like a message received notification. More like "your data has been synced". Then, I am forced to constantly manually dismiss these cumbersome nearly useless notifications.

Right now, when Greenify Hibernates these said apps, the irritating notification is cleared, which for me is a BONUS. I love it.

With the new framework feature, will this mean that this advantage will be lost? If yes, then would you consider giving the user an option to enable or disable this feature?
[Greenify] Simone:
Went back to the original free Greenify. The donate version add on gave too much power to Greenify.
[Greenify] bldysurgeon:
just installed the beta on my viped htc one x and setup the greenify app. .....so far it is compatable and smooth .installed it on 7.7 and 10.1 SG tabs. and monitoring......thnx for now and carry on the tests....
[Greenify] Phantom_11:
Thanks, but I guess it's OK. AirDroid doesn't seem to behave badly. Also, oasisfeng, do you use Xiami Music? The app cannot be auto-hibernated, cause it's always in the "still perceptible" list.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Practically, if that app stays in hibernation, you will never get any notification from it (except GCM push). If you explicitly launches it, the notifications are expected to be shown.

BTW, since Jelly Bean, you can block notifications from single app by long clicking the notification, select "app info".
[Greenify] Dennisalex:
Hey bro what does the greenify Xposed module Do?¿ Thanks Bud. Use this since 1st release.
[Greenify] ctrlaltdel:
Hi, after I install the latest beta I lost the ability to see system applications in the app analyzer... I checked my xposed has the plugin and checked ... anyone have this problem?
[Greenify] Phantom_11:
That gives extra functions for the donated users, like greenifying system apps, bypass superuser to achieve more effective hibernation, and allow GCM pushed notification. You can check OP for more information

hi guys,

im using my nexus 4 with faux123-kernel and xylon rom!

now theres a question.. is using greenify compatible with the "snapdragon battery saver tool"? or should i just use one of them?
[Greenify] rignfool:
You shouldn't use snapdragon battery saver ;)
[Greenify] ghoster76:
From 1.85, some apps often automatically restart, and stand out of auto Hibernating list. It's not as good as the older versions
[Greenify] davtse:
Is it because of push notifications? On the contrary, I find 1.85 to be the most promising so far. Has a ton of potential when used with tasker. I downgraded to 4.1.2 to use it with the gcm patch. Just waiting for it to be compatible with my aosp 4.2.2 ROM before I upgrade again.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I'm actually digging this issue for some days. It's a tough case since some apps like Xiami and Weibo abused the rule of ongoing notification by using a corrupted notification to fool the system for higher process priority.

But it's hard to distinguish that in Greenify. I'll seek better solution for this issue.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
"Lock" is the way Greenify should never be in. It is designed to be "set and forget", you don't need to open it again and again, adding and removing apps. I'm sorry to have you in such a bad experience.

I'm looking into some totally revamped implementation which could stop apps from responding to system-wide events without hibernation (thus process cache can also be kept in memory). I think that will solve this problem, in an elegant way.
[Greenify] Phantom_11:
Really thank you, and take your time. Designs of these apps are really awful. For now, every time I use Xiami, I had to long press back to kill the progress. Otherwise, the progress will last even after a full restart.
[Greenify] TheMatrix2000:
Hmmm, with Tasker? Could you explain how? I have Tasker and Greenify donation and also the exposed framework with aktivated greenify plugin but in Tasker I don't find any Greenify options.
[Greenify] Sancipak:
i used this app.....but sometimes when i hibernate some app then the menu missing from the menu.....
[Greenify] zubacho54:
Thanks for the explanation.

I understand that greenify should live up to its name and should not go far away from its original sole purpose.

Looking forward to your updates.:good:
[Greenify] post-mortem:
Would you mind elaborating on what you're doing with Tasker + Greenify? What are you accomplishing by using them together, and how? I think most people who have Tasker don't use it to it's full potential (including me).
[Greenify] davtse:
I greenify all the apps that are GCM patch compatible on closing the app using the plugin.. That's all
[Greenify] ghoster76:
I don't know but I'm using 4.2.2, Hibernating seems like doesn't work well as it before, now Maps and some apps got out of Hibernated list, have to hibernate by hand. All made me be disappointed with Greenify recently.
[Greenify] NotShorty:
greenify.zip?

Hello all,

I've installed Cerberus as a system app by flashing the .zip (link) through custom recovery on my unrooted Galaxy Nexus, and would love to do the same with Greenify (used it before - awesome app). I'd appreciate any advice on how to do so.

This should be possible if I understand correctly since this would give Greenify system-level permissions, or is this distinctly different from superuser permissions, and therefore not possible?

BTW, I know that many people prefer to remain unrooted because of security concerns. My reason is that I very easily become a crackflashing ROM addict when I'm rooted, and my unrooted stock 4.2.2 with unlocked bootloader setup is helping me maintain my sanity.

Thanks in advance for any responses.
[Greenify] thracemerin:
Greenify needs root permissions to complete its operations, this requires superuser and the su binary to be installed not just Greenify installed in /system.
[Greenify] Byteater:
Donate version doesn't require root but you have to have xposed framework installed in your rom

[MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION] some updates. I can confirm one of the earlier users comments about GCM patch, only gmail works for me on the i9300 for AOSP 4.2.2. For 4.1.2 samsung based rom, everything works flawlessly. I get GCM notifications from facebook and FB messenger, whatsapp, gmail etc. Is there any kind of log we can provide to help you with the problem?
[Greenify] edison218:
Ya that's a good idea, sometimes I do have facebook notification icon staying on even after I screen on. However, it doesn't show up for whatsapp if I missed the notification.

Once I check greenify on the pending list facebook did show woke up 29:00 ago so I left it alone. However not really a problem on better battery stats for facebook after I add to the hibernated list, wakelock is under 1 min.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
The answer is no. Even if you convert Greenify to system app, it still needs root privilege.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
When you say "AOSP", do you mean pure Android stock ROM from Google (but I think there's no AOSP ROM for Samsung devices till S4), or "AOKP" the community ROM?

If it is the former, I think the patch should have no problem. But I cannot verify the latter case since I have no device running AOKP ROM. I'll add some diagnose mechanism in the coming version.

I've tried it with aosp/aokp/cm10.1 with the same result. They do have aosp based ROMs for Samsung, like slimrom and supernexus.

When you removed them from Greenify, they were still in hibernation. If you has not yet launched any of them, they won't hurt your battery in most situations.

It's rom dependent, but Whatsapp works well with the GCM patch. Not sure about Viber and line, but I havent missed a message from whatsapp after hibernating.

[Greenify] thedisturbedone:
Unless you greenify core system apps, there would be no problem. Most of the annoying system apps are stuff like Maps and Google+. If you are really unsure, here's how you can pick the safe-to-greenify apps. If you find the app in the Playstore, go ahead move to user app and greenify it. It is most likely not a core system app and would not affect the basic functionality of your phone..

But don't do silly things like greenify a calendar app and expect calendar notifications on time ;)
[Greenify] bsoplinger:
I had tried pushing or tapping at the spot you indicated before I posted and nothing happened. But the next poster's comment about it looks like a tablet vs a phone was correct. I went through the thread and found screenshots of the tablet layout and unlike a phone with the black bar, which is what I was looking for, the buttons are on the top to the left of the menu button which is on the far right and which you circled.

I turned the screen brightness to max. If I tilt my tablet just right the buttons are there but drawn in white on a white background. Which explains why I didn't see any buttons. It would have helped if I'd been looking there instead of on the bottom for the black bar that phones have also.

So between the two bits of help I've managed to greenify my HTC Evo View 4G tablet.

So there's still a bug to report. But its a more minor graphics or UI glitch than a lack of functionality.
