Hi everyone.. I am trying greenify for the first time on my nexus 5 + ART, downloaded from play store but I noticed that apps don't auto hibernate when screen is off.. Am I missing something?
[Greenify] konstantinos77:
The only option that i'm not so sure that i understand it completely, is the "Block App State Abuse"...

I'm on JB 4.1.2, and i ask now, if i have it unchecked it'll greenify those applications and if i have it checked it'll not greenify those applications?? or the opposite??

Sorry for the "stupid" question, but a little confused... :)
[Greenify] carlese:
My fault, it does greenify those apps after some time.. Another question.. If I greenify Facebook, will messenger be affected?
[Greenify] meyerweb:
The opposite, I believe.
[Greenify] jamartin:
I uninstalled the application, I have reinstalled and still not working.
[Greenify] KTownGT:
Pretty sure this. Allowed devs to make their apps stay active; which could hurt speed & battery life.

Try holding down the greenify icon and click "app info". Clear cache & data. Next, unintsall.

You could go nuclear and wipe cache & dalvik (if applicable). Won't delete anything, and could speed your device up a touch overall.

See my post directly above this one. But checking "block state abuse.." would benefit ya.

Pretty sure in older versions of android, devs could tag any app with a "high importance" tag, which would prevent auto-closing by Android (LMK). I could be 100% wrong though [emoji106]

[Greenify] momomok:
I notice that there is will be a spike of CPU usage by Android OS, if I install the latest beta, and activate the xposed module

Even without any of the experimental features, the CPU usage is there as long as Greenify xposed module is active.

Will logcat log useful for debugging xposed module-related bug? If so i will try to grab one
[Greenify] wwjoshdew:
As a user, that's how I like to setup Greenify. I don't want of the apps I select, running without me physically opening.

You'll probably be fine only worrying about the apps that are at the top of the list... Taking up your battery.

I would rather Greenify stuff now, instead of checking back after my battery starts to suck, and seeing that those rogue apps are to blame.

I notice that my app "Data Switch Save Battery Easy" isn't in greenified list, and it isn't in app analyzer too... how can I control if it is greenified or not? I don't remember... why doesn't it show?
[Greenify] sordna:
You are actually hurting your battery if you needlessly greenify apps that are well behaved. You are making your phone take actions it doesn't need to take, and you are obstructing android's cached process mechanism which saves the phone from the CPU intensive action of loading an app from scratch.

I know many folks like to greenify everything but it's really not a good practice.

I didn't reserve any notifications from apps after greenfiyed it , any help ??

[Greenify] mrteez:
Good App ! Thanks Oasis Feng.

But I have a problem. I purchased for Donation Packed. I ticked GCM push for greenified apps for my Facebook app but when i greenified my Facebook i can't receive Push Notification when i have a wall post from my friend. But when i have a comment my Facebook app wake up.

I think GCM push is not stabilize, i don't want to miss any notification from facebook.

Please tell me how can i solve this problem., because of Facebook app or Greenify ?

ps sorry for my English, in my country people learn eng isn't good :D Cheers :D
[Greenify] Apollo_316:
I actually suspect it's facebook. Can you go in the facebook app and see what 'types' of notifications are set to push to you? For example, I changed mine so I don't get event invites pushed to me, but I do get friend requests and wall posts. I think your problem may reside there :)

If this doesn't work, can you tell us if you're running the beta 5, earlier beta, or the last stable build?

Thanks,

Apollo

Hi, since one of the latest updates, I can't find the mediastorage system app (which scans for new media files) to greenify it.

[Greenify] smeejaytee:
After reading this post it had me curious as to which apps I should greenify and which ones I shouldn't as I tend to greenify downloaded apps and just a few Google apps ie Google+ and earth ect

sent from my blower
[Greenify] jawz101:
I wish there was a case study to help us determine what would make an app a good candidate for greenifying. Like screenshots of proof of a battery drain, narrowing down of the cause and the effect greenifying had to solve the problem.

I just hate how this app advertises itself in generalities. I don't know if I should give it credence.

I could greenify everything for the sake of it but people have no proof of the benefit.

If there is proof it needs to be in the OP or play store

And should I not greenify something like Pandora? If the screen goes off while I'm listening to music will it hibernate on me?

If I greenify Maps and I'm using it's navigation would it hibernate on me in the middle of my voice guided trip if the screen goes off?

If Google Voice is greenified and I have the gcm push experimental thing selected will I still receive my texts from it promptly?
[Greenify] dimm0k:
If you think about it an app is using power regardless of its state unless it's stopped/frozen/hibernated. starting an app that's stopped/frozen/hibernated is going to take more power than simply switching to it. so if you hibernate something you frequently use, ie FB Messenger, it'd drain your battery more than if you didn't hibernate it.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
If Google Voice is greenified and I have the gcm push experimental thing selected will I still receive my texts from it promptly?[/QUOTE]

I use "my fitness pal". Just a calorie and nutrition app I use once or twice a day. Using the "task manager" for System Tuner Pro, I decided to observe the CPU activity of all apps that have stayed in ram since last run. I noticed 3 apps showing 3-10% percent background activity for more than 30secs. M.F.P being one of them. There is no reason, this app should be busy in the background like that. Occupying ram is fine because the Os will reclaim it if needed. But the cpu activity was an obvious battery drain. Maybe this only happens once in a while, I'm not sure. Regardless, M.F.P simply.... should Never need to run in the background IMO. So I put it in the Greenify list. This is one of the key scenario uses of Greenify. Guaranteed battery savings.

Apps like Pandora and Maps/Nav should NOT hibernate when they are active, since they are registered as a foreground apps, even when they are minimized. Try it. Put maps in the hibernation list. Run maps/Nav. Minimize it by pressing your home button. Make sure you see its active icon in the notification bar. Then manually hibernate all apps via a home screen shortcut.
[Greenify] MikeRL100:
I typically hibernate most of my apps out of paranoia, but recently I've been at odds with hibernating Google's apps and some not so frequently used system apps. I've been using Greenify for a long time, but I wonder if it's worth it to Greenify any of Google's apps. They typically are syncing ever ten or fifteen minutes anyhow. Then again, there's more apps they have, like My Tracks or Androidify that I rarely use. Worth Greenifying? I just want to get some opinions on this since I seem to have trouble weighing in all the pros vs cons for Google apps.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
I prefer to not have any push or sync stuff going on. That's just me. So, I end up Greenifying things like playstore, search, Tapatalk, maps etc. My core calendar and contacts sync happens when I unlock my screen triggered via Green Power app. The benefit... Is this keeps my device in a great power saving mode when the screen is off. I don't expect most people to run their smart devices that way.

But following the posts, and knowing what I know... I would be frustrated with trying to control the gcm stuff with Greenify. (eg facebook) I would probably just let those apps for their thing, and accept the battery drain as part of the deal... so long as consistency prevailed.

We are not supposed to greenify everything, naturally, because then every app has to reload and re-initiate on launch, and then we can't quickly continue in said app, where we last left off. But, devices are so bloody fast these days, that even a cold start of most apps is almost as fast as a warm start.
[Greenify] Hirishiolo:
for your opinion:

1) is better to greenify Elixir Widget (a widget that update every hour with free space on disks) or not?

2) same question for Data Switch Save Battery Easy (a widget that when I activated, it reconnects and disconnects data connection every 20 minutes when screen is off, and lets connection alive when screen is on)
[Greenify] jawz101:
I don't know if it sounds like a good idea to greenify any widgets.

On one hand, as a widget, it'll probably remain in the foreground because it's always there.

I don't know what it would take for it to get into the background. I think that's why the app "suggests" apps to greenify as it notices when apps are in a certain memory state.

I.e. if you have to click on "show more apps" to find something to greenify- any apps that are always in there can be considered as well behaved if you never see them on the suggestion page.

These are the kinds of assumptions I have with this app that I don't like having to make. There's not enough education. If it truly is fulfilling something we shouldn't have to base if the program is good on a gut feeling.

None of the buttons are explained well. They might as well say "this is a button" below them. Coalescing, for example, sounds like it takes apps that wake at certain times and tries to force them to wake in a group vs independently... That's something I have to guess, though. :/

It sounds interesting but it'd be nice to see if the overhead to perform these techniques outweighs the expense of just letting stuff happen. That's my whole concern- that I should consider the kernel and android aren't controlling things well or which apps I should think are misbehaved. It isn't like I have any homegrown apps. Just regular popular ones.

And why does the toolbar change colors? What does each color indicate?

Again, should be in op, a help file and/or on Google play
[Greenify] themadproducer:
[MENTION=4678784]Hirishiolo[/MENTION]

I would advise against hibernating Widgets. Whenever I have tried that, it breaks functionality. That's my experience.

[MENTION=1813256]jawz101[/MENTION]

I have to agree on some points you made.

I have been using this app since conception.

But I have to be forthright and say, that I can imagine that the intricate features are not the most "discoverable". I mean, read through pages of of this thread, and spend time on it...sure, but yah...it's one of those apps that could use a "tool tip" for each button or feature.

That being said, if you use this app wisely, it really has the potential to help out a device in saving battery and keeping pesky busy app behavior at bay.
[Greenify] sordna:
This is what I do:

- For Apps that I never use such as Google+, I go to regular android settings, uninstall updates and disable them. They never run and they don't show in the app drawer.

- For apps that I use, but I find them starting themselves when I don't want them to, or they leave a service running even if I exit them with the back button and swipe them from recents, those are the ones I greenify.

Note I don't greenify system apps, I prefer to disable them if I don't need them.

- Apps that I consider well behaving, that don't start by themselves, and which exit completely if I use the back button and swipe from recents (unless they run I service I actually want such as LEDBlinker or Screebl, etc) I leave them alone.

From time to time I also check the android battery stats to see if any app is at the top of the battery consumers. I periodically run Wakelock Detector as well, and see which apps are at the top of the CPU wakelocks and wakeup triggers, since those are sometimes good candidates to greenify (unless it's an app that legitimately shows wakelocks because I use it very often).
[Greenify] Hirishiolo:
I tried hibernating widgets and I have no problems at all in functionality... but I don't know if it is better to greenify them or not (to save battery drain)...
[Greenify] :
Would it be possible to add a feature that allows you to choose some apps that only hibernate on manual hibernation?
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Feature already exists.

Besides a desktop shortcut to manually hibernate your main list if Greenify apps, you can also have custom lists, and more, via Tasker app.
[Greenify] dimm0k:
syncing calendar and contacts when screen on... that sounds neat! any idea if it's possible to do via Tasker?
[Greenify] themadproducer:
I bet you can. It may need something like the Secure Settings plugin.
[Greenify] greyhd:
Use Synker from the playstore, it's a plug in for Tasker.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
I am pretty sure I used to use this app many moons ago, maybe before it had Tasker plugin integration. Or, it was a different app with the same name.
[Greenify] greyhd:
This is the one I am referring to:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.afterhoursdevelopers.android.synker

Yup, That's the one. It says Widget + Tasker Plugin.

We better move on now...cause were getting off topic.

[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Are you using the latest v2.3 beta 5? When did them get removed?
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I'm still investigating on this issue. It appears randomly, thus hard to hunt.

Recently I noticed some clues on GCM unregistering caused by hibernation, and working on analyzing the cause.
[Greenify] RovG:
[MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION], is there any tool or utility (app) that we can use to monitor, diagnose or troubleshoot GCM issues. GTalk service monitor is good but it doesn't show which apps are registered for GCM.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Can you find it with "Show all" selected from menu?
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Haven't found any. Since Google Play services are closed-source, it's a bit harder to troubleshoot the issues. If I could make further progress, I'll add status information for GCM-enabled apps into Greenify.
[Greenify] RovG:
That would be great if you could. It would also be helpful to be able to launch GTalk Service Monitor or Play Service Monitor from within Greenify. Similarly to PNF v 4.5.2 ( http://market.android.com/search?q=pname:com.andqlimax.pushfixer )
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
When did the CPU usage spike happen? How did you measure it? If possible, please provide me anything related to the CPU usage information.
[Greenify] bsimpson1:
Is there a reason that some apps no longer appear in the app list anymore ( even when show all apps is checked)? Camera and browser are two examples. Has this been reported by any other users? I know I can select these apps with the app picker method, but it makes me wonder how many apps that don't show up in the launcher are missing and unable to be chosen for hibernation.

I'm using version 2.3 build 5.
[Greenify] matrixzone:
Revert back to the last stable release, those app will start appearing in greenify. Op is figuring why those apps are not appearing in the beta version
[Greenify] momomok:
It happens constantly, a constant CPU usage every 5-10 seconds. I measure it using this app and its top apps feature:

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.systemmonitor.lite

I am not sure how accurate it is tho, it seems that it is Settings Storage that causes the CPU usage to ramp up rapidly, logcat seems normal...

Will a logcat comparison on latest stable version vs latest beta version helps?
