Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT* v1.7 beta (Updated on Mar.25)

@oasisfeng

Hello there, is it possible to: When i run specific app (eg: real racing 3) then temporary hibernating the apps (eg: antivirus, instant messaging, etc) that i've set into the hibernation list. And un-hibernated after the specific app closed? Could you make it possible? And, what about ignoring hibernate on screen app (app on the foreground), when the screen goes off?
[Greenify] themadproducer:
I am not sure you understood my long winded explanation oasisfeng...sorry.

Allow me to re-word it better. Example here...

- 10 apps in the hibernate list

- on day 5, I decide hmmmm.... I want to temporarily prevent any apps from "going into hibernation". So I flick a switch...say it's named 'Global Pause'.

- if all 10 are already there...that's fine, they stay hibernated, AND they can be woken up like normal...but with 'global pause' activated, nothing will be allowed to be RE-HIBERNATED. (eg wake up Youtube and it will not go back to hibernate mode)

- then, when I am done, I flick back to...lets call it 'Normal mode', then apps will be allowed to go into hibernate mode again instantly and also when Standby kicks in.

What do you think? :good:

BTW, did you make any UI or Tasker changes in 1.7b? I could not see any.

Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT* v1.7 beta (Updated on Mar.25)

Use tasker to force a hibernate on app launch.

@oasisfeng

I installed your application on my tablet for testing, so far I'm very impressed, ill report back after a few days usage.

By installing greenify under /system/app, will it allow greenify to hibernate some of the applications installed as system apps? Instead of moving a bunch of applications to /data/app (converting to user app), would it not be better to install greenify as system app and allow it to control the system apps as peers?

Try it and let us know;)

*NeatROM*
[Greenify] :
I would not mind trying if I get to know from the dev that he is not filtering out system apps explicitly in greenify app. Since system apps do not show up in the greenify app, I suspect the app will filter out system apps and not attempt hibernating them. The reason behind this question is using rom toolbox, you can disable certain events from reaching an application, it lists system apps too. Similar to stopping the app and disabling the listeners - hibernating I guess.
[Greenify] The Broken:
If you really wanted to know, you have already read the thread and know the answer...

Just a quick search told me:

oasisfeng

I understand your appeal. But root does not mean the app is viable to do anything it wants. Even in theory, I can modify the ROM to change any behavior of Android system on your device with root privilege, but then I had to deal with the uncertainty and complexity of different device models and ROM customization. It effectively put your device into high risk to be bricked, and restrict Greenify to only capable on a few devices & ROMs.

I spent much more time than you might think of on the possible solutions, but yet to find a viable one. I am planning to try some early experimental solution on donation version first, just to avoid ruining the usability of rookie users. And I think you donators are more rational and lenient on experimental features.

I suggest you install Wakelock Detector or Better Battery Stats, find which apps/services are misbehaving (this doesn't mean they are just running in the background) and Greenify only those.

[Greenify] Theo Chamalis:
I hope that in the next or so beta the issue that you have to open an app to appear in the list of apps to be greenified is fixed. I also think that it would be nice for an option of the donation app that would let us see all system apps including the "critical ones" and that an explanation of what most common system apps do/activate so people will know if it is safe to greenify them. I know it's a lot of stuff to do and not easy but it would be nice to have that in the future ;) . Thanks dev for your hard and constant work on that great app and keep it up !!! :victory:

Hi this is a great app. ive been using this for a long time.

I have a few questions though.

I have version 2.2 build 11. My device is also rooted. Do I need to turn on greenify accessibility to automate hibernation? I noticed that apps are not hibernating automatically if its off. And what are other uses of that accessibility? Is it only for non rooted devices to automate hibernation?

[Greenify] evilperro:
there ought to be a clarification in the OP that apps are only hibernated when screen is turned off.

is an app hibernated the moment screen is turned off?

do you need to exit out of an app and then turn off screen for it to be hibernated, or can you launch app -> turn off screen and it will be hibernated?
[Greenify] avd:
Phenomenal battery life on latest beta. Keep up the good work.

Sent from my SPH-L710
[Greenify] jacknicholson:
Apps are hibernated roughly 2-3 minutes after your display is turned off, unless you've left it in the foreground or Greenified has determined it's currently needed (eg. if you're actively backing up files, or currently playing music). Apps can be manually hibernated by either using the "Hibernate Now" shortcut, or by selecting them in Greenify and hitting the "Zzz" button.
[Greenify] jmizark87:
stick apps lessened

Once I installed the beta version, most of the stock apps on the list to hibernate lessened. Is that normal to prevent stock apps from hibernating,
[Greenify] jmizark87:
Where did most of the Stocks Apps go?

Once I updated my Greenify to beta version, most of my stock apps in the "+" window are missing.. Is that normal to prevent it from hibernating them?

Another thing. I'm using Greenify (Still waiting for the Beta Version to update on my GS4) and DS Battery saver.

My question is, Can I uninstall DS Battery Saver or Keep it for the double the saving power (That sounded lame, but yeah!)?﻿

foreground = what exactly? if it's in the list of recently opened apps? how to make an app not be in foreground?
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Both accepted. Still need some time. :)
[Greenify] themadproducer:
By not leaving it physically opened on your svreen in the foreground. "Exit" said app with home or back button etc. Also, if an app has an ongoing or persistent notification in the status bar, it will not get hibernated either. That's by design.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
New entry added to FAQ

Q: Which apps should I greenify?

A: In short, don't hibernate all (or most of) your apps! App Analyzer of Greenify only shows apps which have POTENTIAL impact on battery consumption or device performance (click the icon "i" of each section for more details), it doesn't mean they actually have. You are suggested to only hibernate those you seldom use, plus the apps you are sure have negative impacts, most probably identified by the "Settings - Battery" of your device, or 3rd-party diagnose apps, such as Wakelock Detector and BetterBatteryStats (for power users).

[Background Knowledge]

"Running in background" does not mean it has definite impact on battery consumption or device performance. Experienced developers can also reduce the memory footprint of background service as low as several megabytes, which is negligible in most middle-to-high end devices with 1~2G RAM.

"May slow down the device" also does not mean it has definite impact on device smoothness. Android caches the process of apps regularly run, thus significantly reduced the cost of launching it in background.
[Greenify] igloohed73:
Had a problem for last month or so. Couldn't get Greenify to recognize donation package so I could use experimental features. Brought it up here, got several suggestions but nothing worked.

Wasn't until an hour ago when I had the same problem with TiBU that it came to me. Dumb oversight on my part. Had 2 modules in Xposed activated; 1 to cloak root & the other to project 240 density. Both were to allow installation of otherwise denied apps on Play Store.

Can't believe I didn't think of it sooner.

Well there it is. All is working properly now. Maybe someone else has made the same oversight. Hope this helps.
[Greenify] dimm0k:
had BlackBerry Messenger, GCM supported, hibernated since device boot 3 days ago... don't really use it much until today when someone messaged me, but the app never woke up and I never got the message until I opened it up. FB Messenger and FB work fine Greenify'd... is this BlackBerry's problem?

[Greenify] themadproducer:

It gets woken up when it's needed.

Your setup may be different.
[Greenify] Dkrizzle:
OKay cool. It was under system apps so i was worried.
[Greenify] igloohed73:
Was something to the affect of "can't verify donation purchase, check network connection"; or something close to that.

Do you have these type of modules installed? If so deactivate them & see what happens.
[Greenify] marchrius:
Hi, gcm push wakeup suddenly stopped working, both with wifi and 3g. Already using PNF from a long time. Basically, my setup is still the same but apps now stay hibernated while they used to wake up fine when a gcm push message arrives.

Gcm service is running regularly.

What should I try to restore the previous condition?

v2.3 beta 5

Add information for apps not hibernating in shortcut toast.

Use color of action-bar to reflect different states.

Alarm analysis of App Analyzer is back only in Boost Mode.

Critical system services will not be excluded if "Show all" is selected.

Improve the accuracy of root detection.

FIX: Stopped apps are incorrectly excluded in expanded apps (introduced in build 3).
[Greenify] Kocane:
The whole beta thing doesn't make sense to me, I've opted in and everything but the version on the play store is still just the latest stable (March 14).

Can't I just have the apk like the beta versions that have been archived?
[Greenify] marchrius:
Solved... it wasn't greenify's fault. It was the gcm connection that was broken, I found that thanks to gtalk service (it said heartbeat connection not set or something like that and heartbeat timer was always at 00:00)

A factory reset solved everything.
[Greenify] dimm0k:
just wondering if this is normal... I've updated to beta 5 from 4, which ran beautifully with no soft reboots. As soon as I updated to beta 5 I got a message from Xposed Installer that a module was updated and would take into effect on reboot. This I fully understand that it's probably normal. However after that I opened up the App Analyzer a few times and the spinning circle was happening again. After leaving App Analyzer open for a bit the device did a soft reboot. Is this normal behavior or is it recommended for me to reboot my device whenever Greenify is updated? After the soft reboot I cold rebooted the device for safe measure and haven't had the spinning circle since...

also, with betas 4 and 5 the listing for all the sections in App Analyzer are still unsorted for me...

[MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION]

Thx for the new features.

If I manually execute Greenify while Tapatalk is in the foreground, I get an additional unnecessary toast telling me Greenify is not hibernating Tapatalk. Then a toast with failed other apps if any failed , then finally the successfully hibernated apps. The first toast is not really needed. I pretty sure there were 3 successive toasts?

More importantly, when executed manually, if Greenify realized that it failed to put apps into hibernation (aside from the foreground app) shouldn't it automatically retry a 2nd time immediately? Usually that works for me... I run it twice if the first time fails.
[Greenify] dimm0k:
roger that! thanks, however...

[MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION] so I had fully rebooted again after the previous soft reboot with beta 5 earlier today. decided to hibernate Samsung Link and Samsung Push to see how the system behaves without those before freezing and removing them at a later time. Samsung Push was up at the top so no problem finding it and selecting it. Samsung Link however required me to go into "Show more apps" and after expanding that section the spinning circle occurred again. I selected Samsung Link and Greenify showed 2 apps selected for hibernation. the spinning circle was still going and thinking it was because it needed time to populate that section I let the spinning circle go, but then bam, the device did a soft reboot. since then I did another cold reboot and it looks like Greenify is okay again with no spinning circles and no soft reboots. are there still some remnants to this spinning circle bug that's not completely fixed or did Greenify have to go through this once to clear things out? I'll report again if it soft reboots, but so far I've been opening up App Analzyer several times whenever I can and no more spinning circle.

[Greenify] Apollo_316:
First, this app is amazing and I root a lot of friends phones and recommend this as the first thing they install (even though root isn't needed, it's better with it). This app goes hand-in-hand with any device I use. It's as essential as Xposed itself. What a fantastic tool to give the user power back over the phone in a non-destructive way like those pesky task killers.

I've never had any concerns with the app development and I literally get excited when I see an update because I know it will be better and better than the last. That said, I am not a fan at all of seeing (without any option to turn off) the toast of things it couldn't hibernate. What's odd to me is half the things it says couldn't hibernate are not things I've ever selected to hibernate in the first place. My best guess is it's telling me things it couldn't hibernate that are linked to other apps that I have actually selected to hibernate? In any case, I don't want to ask you to go back in progress but instead add an option to disable this feature, and refine the toast going forward. It's a great idea, I just don't like having no ability to turn off a toast that takes up half my screen for a few seconds with apps/services I never even asked it to hibernate.

Lastly, can you provide some sort of color chart for what the colors in Beta 5 mean? It's orange sometimes, green others, I just have no idea what that means.

Thank you for the continued development and support of such a quintessential part of the android ecosphere!!

[Greenify] Pons:
No it's not. This depends on your usage. If you kill every background process, especially ones you use frequently, this would impact performance and battery life negatively in that Android is always restarting from scratch that process you just killed, instead of just reloading from memory. You should only be Greenifying apps that are used infrequently or wake lock apps.

In my case, it helped by installing greenify directly after a full wipe and only greenify-ing(?) a few battery hogs. It'll get patched soon probably.

For example every time when I press button "Put into hibernation now" I am getting this toast in the latest beta version:

But true is that from all mentioned apps only one which I am hibernating (and it is greenified successfully so I don't get the toast even for this app) is com.sec.android.app.bluetoothtest ~ BluetoothTest and the reason is that I am not using Bluetooth at all. Why are the rest apps in the toast?

What does mean the colours of action-bar?
