Im using the V6 supercharger to lower the lowmemorykiller and bulletproof some apps for better multitasking. Now from what i've read in this thread, Greenify doesnt act like the usual taskkiller, but somehow "kills" the app form relaunching again, but does it remove the app from memory, since i've bulletproofed some of these apps?

p.s. bulletproofing makes the app untouchable from the androids in-built taskkiller afaik.

What is the 1.95 beta 3 about? It was published today on play store... But as often, the thread does not follow...
[Greenify] mbze430:
Changelog ------

v1.95 beta 3

No longer detect app installation event in App Analyzer.

Detect media-related events in App Analyzer.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
When Greenify hibernates an app, the app most definitely releases it's ram and will not reopen where it left off last. I am very familiar with V6 etc., and bulletproofing never quite worked for me with v6. But there is an app called "Xposed App" by rovo99 that has a flawless safe method of keeping an apps locked in memory.

But, either way, you would probably not want to hibernate a bulletproofed app right? That defeats the purpose, in most cases.

Lastly, Greenify will not keep certain rare apps hibernated indefinitely. Example, "Rdio" music app has some coding in it that somehow circumvents the hibernation, and has some sort of wakeup trigger.

I'm getting better deep sleep since I started using Greenify... but I'm getting different results from BBS and WLD. Wakelock Detector said awake time is 6%, Better Battery says its 50%. Both from boot, both show 8 hrs total.

I did install my first kernel (Lean), so maybe that threw BBS off, since WLD seems more realistic. Will check end of day tomorrow to see if they are closer.

[Greenify] sqlpro:
sorry for the late reply and i have been testing various things. i uninstalled greenify for 2 days and no issues ! i reinstalled today again and problems started again (eg. viper4android service started restating again). please note this doesn't happen immediately but after using the phone for few mins.

BTW under experimental features i only enabled GCM,system app hybernation and keep notifications.
[Greenify] bso44:
Please give us the option of Greenifying Google Play Services again. I understand that this make bork some Google features but if some people are ok with that, they should at least be given the option.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
It's just been removed from analysis report. You can still click "More", then select Google Play services there.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
What about the free memory level when the viper4android service got restarted? Is it still shown in Settings / Apps / Running Services (as "restarting")?
[Greenify] bso44:
When I click "More", it's not in the list. I was able to Greenify it by picking "Google Settings" from the app drawer with the search

function in your app but after I exit Greenify, swipe it away from recent apps and go back in, it's no longer Greenified. It won't stick.
[Greenify] sqlpro:
i didn't check but normally its around 80mb - 100mb never less. I dont normally open many apps and i restart my phone everyday.

BTW i didn't check "running services" but i was running log cat reader and saw the entries that said "viperandroid .. has died" and service started entries.

BTW when i was troubleshooting similar issue with LMT launcher , i created a logcat here is the link.

hope this is useful. search for LMT and you'll see what i mean. anyway you know better.

[Greenify] mr-tical:
Hi,

oasisfeng, i have question.

Whether it is possible to add functions 'import'/'export' options which contains basic list of apps added to hibernate?

I'm changing ROMs very often and everytime i need to set up apps to hibernate "from zero".

In this case, enough to import settings and you're done.

That would be very helpful i think.

I'm on Donation version.

Cheers!
[Greenify] bso44:
You can backup/restore app+data in Greenify with Titanium Backup or ROM Toolbox.
[Greenify] mike02466:
Sorry, wrong forum
[Greenify] mr-tical:
I know but i think it doesn't work, because i need add apps everytime like on fresh install of Greenify.

Are you sure it is working? Have you tried?

[Greenify] bso44:
Yea, I've restored Greenify via TiBU after flashing ROMs with a data reset several times and all the apps are still in there.
[Greenify] mr-tical:
Well ok, i'll try next time after some wipe.

But i'm still thinking import/export data in Greenify would be good idea.

[Greenify] Pkt_Lnt:
The beta FB version notifications come through IF you have the donate version of Greenify and check GCM push for Greenified apps uner experimental settings.

[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Greenify implemented the standard backup mechanism. If you are using Google account and enabled backup in Settings. The data of Greenify will be backed-up and restored automatically.

[Greenify] Nazo:
So, I'm still seeing an oddity. Every now and then I find my battery life has just completely gone down the toilet. Last night I even found my phone was quite warm after I disconnected it from the charger and let it sit elsewhere for a while (I guess 30 minutes or so) when it had been basically running nothing and when I checked it it was at 87%. Now, under proper conditions it should be 87% while off and basically nothing running like that after roughly six to eight hours or so for me normally depending on various things (this is with the screen off and nothing active of course.) In the past when this whole battery life crapola happens, I've found it around 50% or even lower after that roughly six to eight hours (once even around 30 something after eight.) It's still hard for me to narrow down exactly when my battery life suddenly goes down the pot, but as far as I can determine, it's whenever I do things such as updating apps or update the ROM. Well, I'm also still not sure if this is what fixed it, but when I reset Greenify's data and then manually rehibernate everything (easier than trying to figure out just what apps I've updated since often I have as many as 20 or 30 apps waiting to be updated,) suddenly battery life is more or less normal again. Similarly, if I load the data via TitaniumBackup on a fresh install it seems to still have bad battery life again.

So what I'm wondering is, is there anything Greenify does when it first adds an app to the hibernate list that it doesn't do when it automatically (or manually) hibernates the app again later? Eg, is there anything that an updated app might put back into place or which wouldn't be modified by Greenify when its own data is restored from a backup because it thinks is already done such as removing some autostart event? I'm beginning to suspect that those times where the battery life goes down the toilet are caused by said apps starting themselves and abusing resources since they often like to do a lot of extra stuff on startup anyway, then Greenify stopping them again, then them starting automatically again a short while later, and so on, causing the system to work all the harder than it would even if I just left said app alone. I'll admit I haven't been able to 100% narrow down just when the problem starts and just what exactly ends it, but so far each time has been after something such as an update or backup restoration where Greenify thinks apps have already been hibernated and so far it seems to go back to normal after I reset Greenify. Sometime when I have a lot of apps waiting for updates I'll try to test just updating them to see what happens (though I'm not doing a fresh ROM install to test this!)

It's possible it could be something else such as the ROM (I've been having to use nightlies for that privacy guard feature in particular) but it seems a bit too inconsistently occurring for that whereas I'd just swear it happens every time I do app updates.
[Greenify] sonwon:
There is an app, supplied by Samsung, I am not sure why, anyway it catalogs all of the media files on the phone and it eats the battery like crazy, I suspect that is the problem.
[Greenify] CousinMikeyP:
Does greenify experimental features work with version v1.82? Because I do indeed have a donate version but I do not see experimental feature options in the menu settings. The main reason why I'm on this version the older version, is because it allows me to greenify Google Play services.

Hi,

I see in the notes that the GCM notification features in donation are currently disabled. Is there a reason for this? I'd buy donation if this was working. Hibernation + notification with no battery drain is the best feature. Apple can do this I'm not sure why Android implementation is so crap and battery draining?

Are anyone here using greenify experimental features with cm rom 4.3?

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy Nexus PA 3.95 rom
[Greenify] Nazo:
Sorry. I thought it was assumed when I said I've been using nightlies that I meant Cyanogenmod. I'm not running any Samsung apps whatsoever. I've also taken some very extreme steps towards minimizing how much is actually running including even some unnecessary background services (for instance, I've actually uninstalled the NFC service because I don't use NFC, don't want it, and it even has potential to be a security hazard even assuming it doesn't waste any battery life to have the service running 24/7 even with NFC disabled and the service frozen -- it actually manages to keep running even when frozen...) In fact, I just checked after about five hours today and it was down to around 70%... As of last night I actually took an extra step and started trying a third party AOSP kernel (based on Trinity) that allows for an even lower clock speed of 189MHz (it's too low for while the screen is on as things start to get sluggish when there isn't enough leeway for the governor to scale up quickly when needed, but I did set it as the minimum when the screen is off and it seems to be fine there) as well as undervolting (currently testing -125mV and it actually seems to be stable so far believe it or not) and yet despite all that it was still all the way down to that 70%, so I just don't know.

Maybe it has nothing to do with Greenify, but I can't figure out what else it might be if so. (If I look in the battery stats in the settings it blames the screen primarily followed by the OS itself after that followed by Google services, cell standby, and phone idle. All things that shouldn't be using much battery power... I have a suspicion that the biggest culprit isn't showing up in the list at all whatever it is and I KNOW it isn't the screen given that the screen was on for about a grand total of 20 minutes during that entire five hour period...) I just want to be absolutely sure that Greenify isn't fighting with any apps trying to wake themselves since it seems they can still slip around it (for instance, that NFC service does. Again, even though I had NFC disabled and the service set as frozen, even if I set Greenify to hibernate it, I'd still find it running all the time. That is one stubborn service!)
[Greenify] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, with the donate version you can.
[Greenify] Ok_Kaleidoscope5109:
Just a question regarding this. So when you have Facebook open and running in the background, the push comes through via MQTT? But once you Greenify it, its using GCM? So it switches push protocols?
[Greenify] Pkt_Lnt:
Read this again, carefully.
[Greenify] CousinMikeyP:
How??? It's not in the list I have it set to user app, still not in there and I do have the donate version, with greenify system app checked. Unless there is another way of doing this, I froze it all together via titanium backup, but I miss the features it has?? Any idea guys???

Thanks in advance, you guy's are awesome!
[Greenify] Looki75:
Since few versions of Greenify, it's not possible anymore to greenify Google Play Services.

It's simply not appearing in any list of the Greenify analyzer. Probably a filter inside Greenify itself. Hard coded.

I think the dev did that because after Google Play Services has been Greenify once, you never get back all the features until you reboot. Particularly true with Geolocation, which I extensively tested...

This being said, I would like to still have the possibility to Greenify Google Play Services... Just leave the choice to the users, with a warning...

[MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION], can you do that for us?

Absolutely. This app needs to be on the front page of every Android magazine asap. OP has managed to do what so many people have been trying to do for perhaps years. One of the final bridges between iOS having better Application and Task Management than Android has just been blown to smithereens.

I am even happier that I am an Android customer now. Finally I have a way to stop Ebay.apk, Foursquare.apk and LuckyPatcher.apk from invoking over 1000 wakeups a day each...

Had my phone locked and screen off for 2 hours without it waking up even once. Also used the phone vigorously for ages and didn't see any decline in battery after hibernating over 120 apps and doing a reboot. I'm really excited to see how much this helps.

Thanks again and enjoy the coffee :) Just please keep on developing updates.
[Greenify] danielalarcon:
First off.... thank you!!!!!!! I've been using Greenify for months now since it was reviewed in a blog I follow, tried it, configured it, can't use android without it now.

And finally donated :) it is well deserved!

I haven't tried yet any donate addons, I'm on CM 10.2 (SGS3), I will try the xposed APK and udpdate how that goes.

Keep up the great work!
[Greenify] Jsheeler84:
Xposed works perfectly make sure you get the 2.2 beta by searching the 2.1.4 isn't for 4.3 and requires a secondary file to flash in recovery works perfectly on cm 10.2 and pa 3.99
[Greenify] Nazo:
I can't agree I'm afraid. If this IS the ROM, it will be the first inherently thing I've run into that was ever worse than the stock, but at the absolute worst I can revert to my last install (of which I have a backup) from an older CM build where battery life was just fine. That said, as I've said, it usually goes away after a while, I just don't know yet for certain exactly what I've done that makes it go away and, as I said, I still suspect it's not the ROM, but something else such as Greenify fighting with apps, but until I can narrow it down I'm reserving judgment. When you're less quick to judge, sometimes things come out better than you assume. Anyway, as I said, all I'm trying to do right now is find out if Greenify does everything when later greenifying an app that it does when it first hibernates it -- eg if an app can re-establish autostart stuff that might slip past Greenify when it is updated or something. That's all I'm asking.

The problem lies in the fact that Greenify requires root and a bit of knowledge in what you're doing. Most average people would be inclined to just greenify everything anyway and would mess up a lot of stuff potentially and of course they'd turn around and blame Greenify for their own mistake in that respect. That said, yes, it does need more marketing all the same as there are still a lot of people who would use it right who would really benefit who have no clue it exists.

As always, the thing that is both the greatest and worst feature of Android is its extreme customizability. We have options and control for everything -- even the keyboard -- and many people just can't handle that. I don't know why, but their brains just sort of shut down when they are presented with a long list of possibilities and they want it to just be what they want stock and are willing to give up all ability to change anything that isn't good to get it. (Aka Apple users, lol.) It's kind of sad, but a lot of Android users are only Android users because the wide range of hardware the OS is available to thanks to its openness means that they can get free or really cheap options...
[Greenify] Anrikus:
Hi,

I'm reading through the pages and noticed that many user want to greenify the google play service again since it was excluded by an update.

Can someone please tell me the positive effects that greenifing the play service could bring?

So far, I only know it will break gcm when the play servie is not running.

Using the Xpose framework and the donate version allows us to greenify system apps and let the gcm mechanism still work so I can still get notifications from greenifyed apps.

With this (limited knowledge) I only can understand the intention to exclude the play service from being greenifyed.

The google play service need about 10 MB RAM at the moment at my system and I don't think kicking it out of the RAM will give me any benefit.

Also I couldn't pin down wakelocks to that service...

So could please someone enlighten me :confused:
[Greenify] bso44:
I'm on beta3 and still experiencing the experimental features being unchecked upon reboot.
[Greenify] danielalarcon:
Ok, I'm no expert, but here's my thought, google play services is required y google stuff, for example and important if you use, the play store, if disabled Play Store won't work properly.

That said, disabling doesn't make any major improvement, if you feel/see gms is constantly running, then there is something wrong, for example, I use CM 10.2 ROM, yesterday something related to an otablock service made the gms tu run all the time and prevent the phone from getting into deep sleep, that was fixed in august 30 build.

My recommendation is to use Greenify and BetterBatteryStats before going to freeze services like gms, BBS will tell you what wakes the device, partially wakes it, is currently running for too long, etc.

Hope it helps!
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
There seems to be some severe conflicts between Xposed communication mechanism with a few malfunctional system-tool apps, especially the bad-implemented "fix permissions" script in some recovery. Most Xposed modules face the same trouble.
