Ok, I didn't specifically mean you :) I just meant in general. There have been people asking if they can Greenify SuperSU or other such apps that are not even active unless explicitly needed. Like I said, they see it running and think it MUST be hibernated :D

I must say though, that Zedge and Shazam are not badly behaved in my experience. They never appear to hold any wakelocks on my phone in any case ;)
[Greenify] polobunny:
Oh I didn't take that personally don't worry, just showing what should be a normal usage of Greenify.

I do agree for Shazam, but Zedge had a glitch that kept it awake sometimes, and I'm not a big fan of background running processes that I never use. This goes for Out of Milk and Astrid, which have sync services that just wait there when I'll never use them. They get hibernated after my phone starts and I never hear from them again. =P
[Greenify] eejee:
I disagree to an extend. I installed Greenify on both my single core phone with 512 MB and my dual core tablet with 1 GB ram and noticed very different behaviors. On my phone it is best to greenify just about everything that has the guts to show up in the task manager. The result is a dramatic increase in performance and battery life. Even the lag when performing two tasks at the same time has disappeared. So there I disagree with you. On my tablet however I second your story: greenifying too enthusiastically seems to lead to an increase in battery consumption without increase in performance. So on my tablet I greenify much less apps.

[Greenify] Mike B.:
Note that current Android releases (4.1+?) allow you to disable notifications for specific apps. In some cases, that's enough to prevent a potentially resource-hungry app from waking up unnecessarily without having to Greenify/freeze/uninstall it. Simpler is better... ;)
[Greenify] rignfool:
That just disables the item in the notification bar... android still thinks it is there however... and treats it as such
[Greenify] polobunny:
Notifications != services though.

I use that function extensively for apps that need to stay in memory and usually show a notification to do that and it works wonderfully. No need for an additional notification yet it doesn't get killed by Android. :)
[Greenify] Mike B.:
A running service is not always evil, it depends on what the service does... ;)

Unfortunately not all apps are created equal. I found a number for which disabling notifications is enough to prevent unwarranted or unnecessarily lengthy wakelocks. It's easy enough to try as a first step, before resorting to more drastic measures.
[Greenify] polobunny:
I absolutely agree with you, but it's a habit of my computer side to not have anything running that I do not need. :p
[Greenify] Mike B.:
If you get the right Android devices, one thing you don't need running is your computer. If you turn it off it'll be Greenified! ;)

Remember that, unlike some popular "computer" operating systems, Android is largely event-driven, which is probably why it manages to be rather resource-thrifty even though that nasty Java is lurking everywhere...
[Greenify] post-mortem:
The version of Android OS running makes a difference, as well. If your phone and tablet are on different major versions of Android, then the comparison holds less true.

THIS, is an awesome app, +1!
[Greenify] Thomas_BA:
I think people are just want to greenify everything what is running on there Android. That is not the idea. Greenify apps which prevent Android to fall in deep sleep while the display is off.

Install your self a app which shows you which apps have a lot of wakelocks when display is off and try than to greenify them. The rest has nearly no influence of battery live.

My setup:

- I altered some permissions in Maps and google framework to reduce google.talk... wakelocks (they will never disappear completely as they are part of the system)

- Some applications like Youtube i converted to User-apps

- Greenyfied about 5 other apps.

- Frooze all apps i never use

- I do NOT touch system services! You do more worse than good if doing so, also most of them do not have much wakelock time at all.

Thats it.

Result: I have a battery loss when display is off -> less then 1%, what is nearly a miracle on a Motorola ;)
[Greenify] Phantom_11:
Thanks guys for the reply. A noob question, how can I determine if google play services is draining my battery. In this case, it's been running in the background all the time, I thought it indicates it's consuming battery. Btw, the process is com.google.process.location
[Greenify] Thomas_BA:
Install your self a app which shows your wakelocks for at least some hours without touching your phone, and look which process shows a lot of wakelocks and time usage.

You can use Better battery Stats or a more simple app would be WLD. Both you find here in XDA and also threads which explain the usage.

But relax Google Play Service should be the last of the apps you would be concerned.
[Greenify] polobunny:
That's Location services. Go to Settings > Location and just disable it there. No need to Greenify Google Play Services.

Even if you do Greenify that, Location services can either run under Maps or its own process, thus rendering the "greenification" of Google Play Services useless.
[Greenify] Thomas_BA:
It also i quote:

So not a good idea to greenify it.

More info here: http://developer.android.com/google/play-services/index.html
[Greenify] eejee:
You are only referring to battery life, which is fine. I can agree with your opinion and I also agree that this is the main goal of Greenify. On lower ram devices however the effect on performance is striking if you greenify many apps. I know Android ram should be filled as much as possible and in fact greenifying many apps doesn't alter the amount of free ram, but by greenifying more apps you at least have some choice by what the ram should (not) be filled with.

The greenify causes that the titanium backup scheduled jobs are not running even I didn't set the TB to be hybernated...

Any workaround please?

[Greenify] habylab:
No issue here, must be your setup. If the all isn't touching TB, it can't be Greenify. Try re-installing it, or double check the schedule. UV can cause this too.

[Greenify] oasisfeng:
As I know, Meizu MX2 is incompatible with Xposed framework. :(

据我所知，魅族MX2与Xposed确实不兼容……
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Google Play Service is a special component working for 3rd-party apps which use Google service, such as Google Maps, Google+ sign-in and so on. As announced today at Google I/O, GCM also joins as part of Google Play service, together with a new Fused Location provider.

So, if you see google play services running in background, it might because of the new real-time Location features (geo-fences and activity recognition).

I will take some time to analysis the behavior of new Google Play services. At present, it's not a good idea to greenify it.
[Greenify] Phantom_11:
Thanks, buddy. I Checked wakelock, didn't notice something weird, but honestly I'm not familiar with wakelocks. So far, the battery consumption is OK.
[Greenify] twinsen.net:
What about option to exclude some apps from Auto Hibernation? For example I want that feature for all programs, but for TouchDown push app. When Auto Hibernation is on, it prevents from running all apps with push mode. Like Gmail or Touch Down Exchange mail. I want to put them on some exclusion list...
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Based on what I THINK you are trying to say...I recommend...

1) DO NOT put all apps on the list just because you can. Only place PROBLEM APPS on the list....otherwise, you will be not using the app for it's intended purpose and strength. You will actually make your overall Android experience worse.

2) Exclusion list therefor is not necessary. Simply DO NOT put Gmail or Touch Down onto the hibernation list. It's the same thing.
[Greenify] twinsen.net:
Thank you for reply - I will do so. I just thought that Auto Hibernation takes all apps and greenifies them.

I got access to the beta just fine here.

Make sure you're logged into G+, join the page linked in the OP (essential, no access without joining), then visit the beta channel on Play and sign up to receive betas.

To those complaining, oasisfeng has obviously decided this is how he is going to distribute the beta from now on, so get with the program or miss out :D

It's better this way anyway as you will get the new betas as soon as they are available without having to check here ;)

[Greenify] Mike B.:
The beta doesn't seem to address much of anything outside of the Xposed-bound optional features accessible with the donate addon. For those of us who can't justify loading the Xposed mess, the Greenify distribution stable version is perfect. If, at some future date, oasisfeng decides to introduce features that don't require Xposed for donators, then betas might become more relevant... ;)
[Greenify] post-mortem:
I recently installed Xposed to get Google Wallet working on my phone, and it wasn't a mess at all. It was actually quite easy. It's easier than using Titanium Backup, Link2SD, or any of a number of apps people are familiar with using.

If you're hesitating, I say go for it.

Only if you want to access a few extra features which are part of the "donate" version of Greenify. This includes the ability to Greenify system apps, among other features. If you don't care, or you have the free version, then you don't need Xposed.

[Greenify] athdaraxen:
I'm not getting it whether I have xposed or not. I tried it first with a clean install without the donation app or xposed, nothing. Then tried with the donation app and xposed, still nothing.

I spoken up about this almost every new build (or try to unless I forget) as this only worked for me when it was first implemented and hasn't worked since. At this point I figure it must be something on my end as no one else seems to have the issue.

I don't see it as a big deal since it's just me but I do like to speak up about it.
[Greenify] diggmc:
I thought the proper way to greenify system apps was to delete 'em with TiBu and then download from the Playstore.

I looked for Xposed on the Playstore looks like its some sort of theming engine.

[Greenify] Mike B.:
It's unfortunate that oasisfeng opted to use Xposed to add the "donate" functionality. Unlike Greenify, Xposed is known to cause a multitude of problems on many devices, only works on some ROMs and is in general an "experimental" feature at best. Unless you're absolutely positive that you need the addon features, you might want to consider staying away from Xposed. If you feel you must use it, make sure you have a dependable Nandroid backup. Just because the Xposed framework seems OK for a short while doesn't mean it won't come bite you in the.. back cover... when you least expect it. ;)

Note that this doesn't take away from the wonderful job Greenify does. Xposed is entirely optional.

I would definitely try a clean install, maybe even a reboot.... yikes
[Greenify] Mike B.:
As explained earlier in this thread, to get the current beta, you need to follow the beta link (on Google+) in the first post. Once there, join the community (free), then opt-in for Greenify betas (also free). Wait a few minutes, and the latest beta (currently 1.85b1) will be served to you directly from the Google Play Store. You don't need to do anything else and you don't have to get involved with Google+ any further than that. A 404 error suggests that you failed to join or opt-in. Yes, those first few steps are a bit clumsy but once you've opted in, you'll magically get all the Greenify betas. If you wish to only receive distribution stable versions, simply opt out of the beta test.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Does your ROM disable the logging mechanism (logcat, event log, etc)? I saw some ROM/kernel disabled logging by default. That will prevent Greenify from detecting the wakeup cause.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
According to the information, you are actively using Greenify for about 2 minutes which is the whole thing took the 5% of your battery juice. (no background CPU usage)

Although I also doubt why 2 minutes usage took 5% battery, please keep an eye on the battery usage for a longer period and report back.

Google+ is harmless when used correctly but many people prefer to stay away from it, in addition to people who can't conveniently use it. An alternative direct download link, preferably also with a QR link, is probably a wise idea.

I am saying that I have been using it for some time with various modules without a hitch.

Does an absolutely awesome job.

Just sayin'
[Greenify] Mike B.:
Indeed, the "data to SD" saga with its countless iterations and plethora of options might be an indication of what's in store for the "mod your ROM without modding" Xposed concept. Not a thrilling prospect... ;)

Xposed works great for some people just like any of the "app2SD" incarnations works great for some and trashes everything for others. Unless someone (Google?) comes up with a universally accepted standard, chaos will reign.

Personally, I find it easier/safer/simpler to adjust my ROMs instead of dealing with Xposed, but then I've been a "techie" for more decades than most XDA members have been alive so I may have a different outlook... ;)
[Greenify] shag_on_e:
I have seen some weird stuff with Xposed lately on my Gnex running AOKP. It seems that if module authors don't keep them updated along with the latest framework, problems will occur. Plus it seemed to not allow my SystemUI to restart sometimes after a day or so un-Xposed with no issues, then installing their app_process stuff got crazy. But of course, experimental is experimental for a reason. Things are Xposed and running fine now, so I'm good!
