[Greenify] T0xic4u:
since last update, some of my apps wich are in the greenify list get forced closed when I start them manually.

They start for a second or two and then get closed. Stopping greenify makes me able to start them again.

These are some of the Apps: Aqua-Mail, PvZ 2, TapaTalk, Google Play

All was fine before the last update.

Any suggestions?

Thx

Please help me I cant uninstall this app from my note 10.1
[Greenify] Chinaboy5216:
Check in settings/system administrators if greenify is ticked then you need to untick. Just had the same experience

Hi Oasis,

small problem since Beta 4 and now also 5

App say donation package installed no problem, xposed is also installed but in both beta 4 and 5 i cannot access the parts of the experimental features that require both xposed and donation package. Seems like the app keeps looking for something (the hourglass keeps rolling around).

Extra info: I'm the guy that purchased through Amazon and now updates via your dropbox account (well actually beta 5 i took off my tablet :silly: couldnt wait as Play store was faster)
[Greenify] phonexhero:
Thank you very much :) :sly: I uninstalling because of the sppeak engine issue its not solved and it is very annoying
[Greenify] Chinaboy5216:
Great :) glad it worked. So it was the same problem i had before :cool:
[Greenify] phonexhero:
Yes it is the same problem and thank you again :D
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
What do you mean by "stopping greenify"? Can you capture a logcat when any of your apps got forced close?
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Issue confirmed, it will be fixed in the next version.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Swiping away apps from recent tasks kills the process of those apps, thus prevent them from being cached in memory. When you launch them later, it takes longer time and much more CPU cycles to create the process and re-initialize the app runtime.

If you don't do that, it generally saves your time and battery, though not so much.

May I ask what's the benefit of doing that?
[Greenify] TNSMANI:
I believe that what [MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION] says is that the recents button keeps the previously opened apps in memory so that when you need one of them, it can be opened quickly without putting the RAM and your battery to work overtime. When closed completely, an app requires a lot of RAM and battery power to open. But when it is in recents, there is not much strain in opening.

So if you constantly swipe away the apps from recents and keep on opening the

same

frequently, the battery is going to suffer. Anyway, Android can better manage your RAM without your help.

You can swipe away the apps in recents if your memory is low or when some apps take long to open due to lack of memory. But with 2 GB RAM devices becoming the norm, it is totally unnecessary and it will only result in your battery getting a hit.:rolleyes:
[Greenify] TechnoSparks:
Well, being a really intensive person in multi-tasking, I always have about 7 apps run simultaneously. Leaving them alive will of course drain my battery (though I am not saying it will take up much more battery).

I can't really tell the benefits, as this might become much more of an opinion war :( But the reason I always clear the recent list is to make sure the apps I've done with are dead to avoid them hogging more resources. I am not a person that actually Greenifies everything, if you want to know. As per to your statement, I've conducted a test to not swiping away the apps in the recent list, leave the phone for half of an hour, but still I can't find any significant increase of speed when launching an app. Even worse, the app restarts as if I have never opened it (tested with Twitter, Outlook and Firefox. These are not greenified.).

However with all of my respect I am in no way objecting your statement, as I am not that very experienced with Android. Maybe I'll reconsider to change my habit in the future. Thank you for the advise. :)
[Greenify] niteh@wk:
If you do not want an app from showing in the recent app list, install Tasker, create a task to launch that app specifying exclude from recent task list, and create a shortcut to this tasker task to launch the app.
[Greenify] bso44:
Interesting. I knew this was the case for task killers but had no idea that swiping away recent apps was inefficient as well.

What do you guys think about this post:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=42142858&postcount=3
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Unfortunately, even if apps were swiped away from recent tasks, they can still restart themselves in various ways, draining your battery without being visible in the recent tasks list.

That's where Greenify kicks in, to put them into hibernation, prevent them from restarting.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Most parts are correct. Clearing recent tasks does free much memory, at the expense of later performance and battery consumption for launching those apps again. So if you have a device with 2G RAM, it gains no benefits in practice.
[Greenify] TechnoSparks:
Yes I am aware about that. But most of the apps I use does not start themselves. Exception goes to Twitter in my last post. But yeah, Greenify settles all of my resource hogging social apps.
[Greenify] J-Pod:
This is exactly why I'd love to have a feature that keeps the apps in recent from hibernating. Sometimes I'll be using Chrome and Facebook and then go to a third app and then turn the screen off. The third app is currently open does not hibernate, but chrome and Facebook do. So even when I open them again from recents, it's a if I had completely closed out of them and then reopened them again, which is what I'd love to have Greenify prevent. To not auto-hibernate the apps in recents.
[Greenify] bso44:
So when do you recommend clearing recent apps? Never?
[Greenify] herny66:
please,can someone post the link of Greenify 2.4.1 Final,I have problems with the play store...tnx

[Greenify] Chinaboy5216:
Thanks for fixing the issue, everything working fine in 2.4.1 Final
[Greenify] sarf2k4:
Hi, I got a question about GCM feature, lets say this app hibernates every 1 hour and I've enabled the GCM in experimental feature, will an app receives the notification during the hibernating cycle by greenify or anytime?

Because my I got my whatsapp's messages delayed by about 2-3 hours.

Thank you in advance
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
You can just leave it managed by Android system, except for critical low memory situation. :)

If you heavily depend on the recent tasks list for frequent task switching, then you may prefer to swipe away the unwanted tasks to make task switching easier and clearer.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
If it works as expected, the push notification should arrive in no time. But you may need to tune the GCM heartbeat to a shorter period with PNF.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.andqlimax.pushfixer
[Greenify] sarf2k4:
I will try the push notification fixer, I greenified these apps/services; google play services, google play store, google services framework. Do these one of the reason GCM wouldn't work properly?

I got a bit of suggestion, could you put the GCM icon on the greenified app list?
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Greenifying Google Play services may destroy GCM push.
[Greenify] sarf2k4:
Okay, I try to remove these google services from my previous post and restore default heartbeat first and see how it performs in these few days
[Greenify] FcoEnrique:
Just removing an app from the greenify list is enough to make it work again like before?
[Greenify] Merudo:
For Google Services it may be better to use NlpUnbounce to greatly reduce wakelocks instead of killing them completely.
[Greenify] vuquanghai:
I have a question. If i hibernated some social network app like facebook, facebook messenger... by greenify, so do those apps can push notification and show up on my phone? Sorry for my bad English :laugh:
[Greenify] marbertshere:
I'm the same about swiping away recent apps (i even got an app that automatically does it for me).

I know that if it's running in the bg it is quicker to load, but I also thought that it uses battery. It does use RAM too, which I'm not worried about.
[Greenify] FcoEnrique:
Maybe, if you have the donation package you can enable experimental features to keep GCM working, but even with that for some users, including me, it would stop working.
[Greenify] marbertshere:
Thanks, that's weird. I was referring to the regular Facebook app (not chat).
[Greenify] FcoEnrique:
I was referring to any app that use push notifications through GCM.
[Greenify] WilcoSnel:
Request

I haven't found anything about this in comments so far (sorry if there is).

Is it possible to NOT turn off wifi when the app starts "Greenifying"?

Or make it optional in the settings?

Tnx for considering.

Great app :)
[Greenify] omgsy:
i have nexus 7 2013 edition and i found out that when i swipe up the home button, Greenify Automator thing pops up if i want to enable or cancel. Is there a way to stop this home button swiping up thing? I dont want this greenify automator thing to pop up and i dont want to enable it.
[Greenify] bso44:
App Manager --> Greenify --> Clear defaults
[Greenify] Pkt_Lnt:
Greenify would not touch wifi in any way unless you greenified a system app that you should not.
[Greenify] omgsy:
it is already cleared. the home swipe up gesture is still there with the Greenify Automator popping up.

I do not have the donation version. plus, this should not be a donation feature in my opinion.
[Greenify] marbertshere:
Yeah, that was directed at mark. I'm actually in the same situation as you where I don't receive gcm pushes.
[Greenify] freesunshine:
Not receiving (push) notifications.

I have Galaxy 3 JB 4.3 rooted with your latest update v2.4.1.

I don't have issues with auto hibernation but I am having issues with not getting message notifications on most of my messengers, such as WeChat, Kakao, Whatsapp, Facebook messenger, Tango, Skout, and etc. I've always had issues with WeChat app but lastly I'm not getting push notifications on Facebook, whatsapp, and others. Only way to check if I have messages is I have to open the apps manually then I see the messages.

Here are the items in Experimental Features checked;

Keep notifications

Wake-up Tracer & Cutoff

GCM push for greenified apps

Telephoney Wakeup

Please help! ﻿

Thanks!
[Greenify] bso44:
Got it...thank you. Btw, I found an interesting discussion on the subject of swiping away recent apps.

http://android.stackexchange.com/qu...-you-swipe-an-app-out-of-the-recent-apps-list
[Greenify] hadi_rena:
Install Home Button Launcher to force android 'forget' default home swipe up gesture. Then you can un-install it or use it :)
[Greenify] omgsy:
doesnt work. When i hold home button, a white circle comes up and there is a search button on the top and when i click that search button, the Greenify Automator comes up... How do i get rid of this circle from coming up?
[Greenify] hadi_rena:
It's weird, after install that app and you trying to swipe up home button then android should ask which app to open since that app designed to handle swipe up home button.

Do you use custom rom ? If yes maybe there is some settings about it, otherwise try to uninstall greenify and see whether that odd behavior still occurred or not.
[Greenify] SteStanich:
google play services

I see that Google play services is not automatically hibernated because it's in use by the system. if I cut this wake path will I face any problem?

I mean, which is the reason for android system always using/waking google play services?

thank you in advance

cheers
[Greenify] trancinguy:
For that use: "NlpUnbounce", amazing combo.
[Greenify] Chaitanyapatel8880:
These are the wakeup paths I have cut and did not have any problems till now...
[Greenify] Kirrrr:
Strange thing. Viber and WhatsApp don't hibernate automatically. Stuck as "Pending". No warnings, just pending. Manual hibernation passes ok.

Greenify 2.4, GCM push gate is on.

Other apps (e.g. PushBullet) behave normally: sleep, get pushes.

What am I doing wrong?
[Greenify] juggies:
With the new version of WhatApp it seems that when I enable GCM push wake and keep notifications that the notification gets posted twice. It gets posted initially as per regular, then the app is launched via notification, it clears, then while IN APP it is posted again.

Very strage behaviour, has anyone else seen this?
[Greenify] vuquanghai:
Does greenify v2.4.1 final (in google play) or v2.4.1 beta 5 fixed proplem with Google Play services are woken by Greenify? Sorry for my bad English :laugh:
[Greenify] T0xic4u:
Got to App manager and force to stop running Greenify.

But I was able to fix my problem. I deleted those Apps from Greenify list, rebooted phone and added them again.
[Greenify] codeknight11:
The latest stable version from playstore doesnt open on my device. When I try to open the app, a black screen appears for a while and I get redirected to the home screen seconds later. For the time being can someone please share the previous stable version from playstore? V2.4 most likely.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
If it's the only option there, a new option "Nothing" which just do nothing will be added in the next version. Then you can choose it if you don't want this pop-up.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
If an app consumes battery in bg, then it is most probably by its service part, not the UI part. Unfortunately, swiping away an app from recent tasks just stops its UI part, not the service part.
[Greenify] TechnoSparks:
All credits to oasisfeng for creating Greenify. So, here's the latest stable apk taken directly from my /system/priv-app (I flashed greenify as a system app) in the attachment.

I tried beta 5, but it ask for superuser permission at every action.

I reinstalled beta 4 and the problem is solved, so I think that this is a bug of beta 5.

Suggestion of Change/Feature for the app

Suggestion of feature/change:

When you Greenify many apps at once (for example when the app is newly installed) you get spammed with pop up after pop up telling you that "App X was Greenified", "App Z was greenified" "App Y was Greenified". Instead, have many apps in one pop up, similar to how the app Fast Reboot shows it's output of the apps that's been restarted. I suggest maybe 10-15 apps per pop up, and have the pop up dissapear after maybe, 1.5 seconds since it's not interresting to know which apps were Greenified since I know which ones I just choose. And after the sucssessful pop ups you can display a list of apps that did not get Greenified and the reasons why, for example due to being a System app.
[Greenify] WhiteiceDMSTech:
The last few days Greenify keeps waking up my screen. I power the screen back off, but then the screen comes right back on.

Soon as I enter my password or slide to open, I have SuperSU sitting there saying Greenify is asking for root permission, which I have already allowed before. So I grant it again. Then a bit later, it does it again, and again, and again.

Why is greenify doing this?

Thank you,

Whiteice
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Which version are you using? Is it beta 5?

Beta 5 made some experimental changes to the implementation of root operations, that might be the cause of your problem.

If so, you can revert back to the stable version or beta 4.
[Greenify] WhiteiceDMSTech:
Thanks for the response.

I did in fact install the beta recently and since this all started happening.

[Greenify] ech0:
Hi,

I understand that beta 5 was removed, I have been trying to get the last stable version and the beta download link gives me beta 3, am I to assume that is the last stable beta version?

Great app, I appreciate your time and effort and look forward to watching the development of this great piece of software.

Thank you :good:
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Hibernation means to force-stop the greenified app, clear out all the registered resources (alarms, receivers, etc.), disable the receivers to receive future non-targeted broadcast, and some other minor cleanups.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
1.7 beta 6

Issues in beta 5 were fixed.

ADD: "Raise Your Voice" program (in early experimental phase).

FIX: "Hibernate Now" shortcut now works when auto-hibernation is disabled.
[Greenify] oae08:
Hey oasisfeng and everyone, I really need a bit of your time to help me please

Getting high drain (about 4-5%/h) when screen is off because of this mainly.

Im using BBS to get these stats;

Im having high Partial Wakelock of GTALK_ASYNC_CONN_com.google.android.gsf.gtalkservi ce.AndroidEndpoint

Also in Alarms, Im having most alarms in com.google.android.gsf

If i click on it, it shows com.google.android.intent.action.GTALK_RECONNECT

and com.google.intent.action.SEND_IDLE

and finally {com.google.android.gsf

I have signed out and uninstalled gtalk with titanium backup pro.

For maps, I have disabled gps and location services and hibernated it via your app greenify.

But for these wakelocks and alarms im not really sure what to do, what apps should i hibernate?

Some background info: i use wifi with proxy at work and it seems that the ports for some google stuff are blocked (the wifi and signal arent blue, unlike when connected to 3G, they become connected to google services and become blue), so they keep trying to connect on wifi and causing wakelocks. How to solve this problem.

Sorry for slightly offtopic, but really need your expertise!

Appreciate all your time. Thank you in advance :)
[Greenify] athdaraxen:
From what I read about it, the endpoint wake lock has to do with having bad wifi or bad signal which means a bad Internet connection. I always get it when I'm at my workplace due to crap signal for both wifi and cell signal. When I have great signal I never see it.

It's never been linked to any app in particular either. It's just some process deep within the bowels of android. If I remember right it had something to do with Google Heartbeat, which from what I read had to do something with some sort of syncing but not like syncing your Google account. I'm not really sure.
[Greenify] abovebeyondgal:
sorry , got the answer on first page
[Greenify] Moogle Stiltzkin:
in this xda thread they mentioned the solution to prevent unecessary wake locks from google maps

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=29420959&postcount=7059

which entails prevent it from auto starting.

Can't greenify add a solution for that to be fully comprehensive ? Yes your FAQ mentions it's nothing to worry about, but there are those of us who rather take that extra step to reduce the wakelocks.

And i rather not download another app for the purpose. Besides i think to use them i can't greenify, because they need to auto run to manage the autostart thingys. So it's better if greenify had a autostart manager as well for instances like this.

I believe that oasisfeng is overwriting the same file every time and when we have downloaded such a file once, google drive always gives us the "cached" version. I get the latest version if i use a Google account that hasn't accessed the file before. But soon I will run out of Google accounts ;)
[Greenify] natezire71:
Mind posting a link then?
[Greenify] w1040:
There are no widget but there a shortcut of greenify called Hibernate Now. And if you tap on it once all all the list of apps you hibernated but are pending, will be hibernated automatically
[Greenify] oae08:
Yes im figuring out that it is from google heartbeat (probably related to gsf) but how to disable/hibernate/freeze that? Any help or guidance is appreciated.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I will update the FAQ to reflect the recent improvement and solutions.

In short, Google Maps are deeply integrated in Google Search (Google Now), so if you want it to hibernate, you should greenify both Google Search and Maps. If they are system apps in your ROM, remove them from /system/apps, and install the separate ones from Google Play.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I have little experience dealing wake-locks, always failed. I think that drove me to develop Greenify.

PS: You may try the "PNF (Push Notification Fixer)", not to reduce the heartbeat interval, but to set it to a large value.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I use Google Drive to deliver the beta version, since it maintains the revisions of file without changing the link. If you see a stale version, try "Revisions" in "File" menu.

I don't think it's possible. Heartbeat is deeply integrated into the system, I don't even think it's an actual app. The only known way it I could find it to stop it is to have no Internet connection.

[Greenify] thracemerin:
Remove your google account, problem solved, otherwise it's not possible.

lol not really, i dont think it has to do with the google account, but i might find a solution using Autostarts

Just need to know which service exactly to disable :D
[Greenify] thracemerin:
The heartbeat is google services phoning home, I'm not at all kidding that to get rid of it you would need to remove your Google account and/or disable your internet connectivity.

You might be able to do it by disabling GTalk, GMail, Play Store, You Tube, Browser, G+, and any other Google Published apps you have on and turning off all google related syncs and push notifications.
