I don't think that there is a problem to install many apps. I was just wondering why you do greenify the most of them. It's recommended to analyze which apps are causing wake locks (with better battery stats for example) and then tame this apps with greenify. I don't think greenify was made to greenify almost the whole system ...
[Greenify] Anubhav Agrawal:
its not that, i greenify the apps which keep running in background and hogs battery..

I dont greenify the apps which are required for work ... like, i have some 40-50 games, i dont play them all at once, they are like, mood games, play anyone whenver u want ... and, on the other hand, i use everything.me launcher, spots(kinda launcher) swipepad and other similar apps, they are not greenified ..

I m not rooted, so apps wont auto hibernate , i keep app alive if i want to .. And, again, when going to sleep, i greenify them ..
[Greenify] _jis_:
No, I don't mind the number of your apps, but that you blindly greenified 90% of them. This is wrong behaviour! For example I have installed 450 aps (both system and user), but I greenified just 20 apps which I analyzed to be good candidates for greenifying.
[Greenify] millicent:
hello there, how should I go about properly hibernating system apps? my specific target is Google search which I think is generating by itself a lot of wlan wakes among others..

I am using HTC One, sensed latest venom rom, kk 4.4.2, updated fw to 4.4.2 too. I am using nova launcher as home manager, if it helps.

I have auto hibernate enabled in latest greenify from play store (2.1). I have read thru this thread especially search results on Google search, still confused on how to do this or if it's even possible.

many thanks

Where is the tasker plugin?

I just downloaded greenify and I already love it. I read that there is a plugin for tasker but I can't find it.

Would love to limit but not completely restrict background access for some apps (i.e. work email).

Thanks.
[Greenify] mdamaged:
The plugin functionality is installed when you install Greenify.
[Greenify] quattrosan:
It doesn't show up in tasker's plugin section. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks

I have problems with notifications since "v2.2 build 2" , doesn't works any more (line,fb,etc), i've enabled notifications under "Settings - Apps" and doesnt work.

Anyone can send me "greenefy v2.2 build 1" ???? this version works for me.

thanks in advance.

Problem: I use the autoguide app and it is greenified. Whenever I turn the screen on and go to the autoguide app, the app freezes and force closes. Can this app not be greenified?
[Greenify] x111:
I 'm using paid version of Greenify on my Nexus 5 and so far so good for now.

Let's see how it will work. Looks very promising, hopefully developers of this project do not stop working on it.

Finally, I'm able now to kill (froze) unnecessary Google processes which are killed the battery.

p.s. unpaid version is sucks, do not gave me the necessary functions.

p.s.s. thanks for such a nice program.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Seems like your ROM has deep customization on the App Setting view. I'm afraid Greenify cannot guarantee to support this kind of custom ROM.

Click anywhere to dismiss the guide layer, then you can click "Force stop" button manually.
[Greenify] chteh2008:
This is not custom ROM, I am using stock ROM of HTC One X Android 4.2.2

Anyway thanks.
[Greenify] Pkt_Lnt:
Stock OEM ROMs are highly customized versions of Android, so they create many conflicts and bloat which is why users want developer custom ROMs.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I suggest using Tasker for complex scheduling with conditions.
[Greenify] yogesh324:
thanks for the advice but I m not askin for sceduling I m asking that I can just change the app state so that greenify wont hibernate my app automatically instead just when I click hibernation button....
[Greenify] tsiftsism:
Why can't i get it installed from Market?

It keeps getting stuck at Installation phase!!
[Greenify] Pons:
Sounds like a device issue, and not Greenify. Try the usual of clearing Play Store data, wiping cache and dalvik, etc.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
[MENTION=2790737]yogesh324[/MENTION]

I think there is an answer for what you need, but your question is still a bit vague. Care to clarify?

For example, do you want Greenify to STOP automatically Greenify your list of apps at night with a manual flick of a switch? There is a way to manually temporarily disable auto hibernation.

Also, using Tasker, you can create a shortcut to manually hibernate a single app, or a group of apps.
[Greenify] yogesh324:
what I m saying is I wanna prevent auto hibernation for selected apps... so that I can hibernate them manually and I have never used tasker before so I dont know how to make a shortcut like u r saying....
[Greenify] Pkt_Lnt:
Add them to Greenify when you want them hibernated and remove them from Greenify when you don't. Seems complicated, but that is what you are seeking to accomplish. If you don't want them auto hibernated, don't add them to Greenify.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
@yogesh324

You don't want auto hibernation, then FIRST THINGS FIRST...as a few have said...DO NOT add any apps to the Greenify list. Simple. :good:

So look, your in a modding forum. If your willing to run Greenify and deal with rooting and Xposed modules, then Tasker should be a breeze...relatively speaking. Get a copy and start experimenting. If/when you get stuck, ask, and one of us will help you with creating a basic Tasker profile to create a manual shortcut. Believe me, it's one of the EASIER tasks.

In summary... your answer is either get TASKER... or don't use Greenify. That's the answer. Not trying to sound condescending. Cheers :laugh:

Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

Thanks a lot man!!

Works fine now.

I tried earlier today to convert it back to system but it didn't work.

Kept FC's.

I only thought about it afterwards that it probably was because I didn't ungreenify the app before converting it so i converted it back to user app and left it not working.

After listening to your advice, I tried it again but this time I ungreenified it first.

Works fine now!
[Greenify] nfribeiro:

[Greenify] NicholasQ:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

I'm not necessarily trying to kill apps. I want to temporarily force them into hibernation while I play a game. So there's no background process or push notifications.

[Greenify] themadproducer:
I really like the concept behind Greenify especially when it comes to stopping apps (like anything Google) from battery draining background or standby activity.

But also as NicholasQ mentions, it would be equally nice to have a similar SUSPENDED ANIMATION feature where an app is frozen in time, and cannot tax cpu etc., yet stays in RAM so one could continue where they left off. Something like that...which is likely impossible to do especially since eventually, the OS will kick the app out of ram anyway. Just a fantasy! :D

Wait a minute, when Windows OS goes into Hibernation (yes...different type of hibernation) doesn't the ram get written to hard drive first so that on resume, hard drive saved memory gets written back to ram etc? That would be cool to see here.

And finally, my ultimate Android fantasy...especially on devices with more ram...the ability for us to choose 10 or more apps from a list, to protect from getting killed by memory management unless they crash or misbehave.
[Greenify] davtse:

BulletProofing...is what I think ZeppelinRox calls it.

It never worked for me though the other features did work on my old HD2.

Perhaps I will revisit it one day and see if there has been progress in the BulletProofing. (other than the Home Launcher)
[Greenify] ofteno:
does greenify "kills" another app after i left them?

for example i love and use a lot espn scoreCenter, but after i leave the app i would love that all process started by it would simply stop until i enter the app again
[Greenify] themadproducer:
When the screen turns off and when your phone goes into Standby mode a few minutes later, then yes, Screenify will put all chosen apps (eg ESPN) into hibernate, which basically kills them and keeps them killed but not using the typical Task Killer based method. Then, when you turn your screen back on and click on ESPN, it launches as normal, but doesn't resume from your last position.

If you launch an app (eg ESPN) that is on the Greenify hibernate list, but keep your screen on, and/or prevent standby, then this will temporarily prevent Greenify from re-hibernating that ESPN...and if you re-launch ESPN, then it will/can resume. (assuming another task killer or Android memory management hasn't killed it)

GREENIFY meets APP QUARANTINE

Here is a trick that I just tried that seems to work with no side effects...yet.

Some say...they might want to temporarily suspend Greenify from hibernating an app(s) for a period of time. I used App Quarantine, to create a toggle widget, that freezes/defrosts Greenify on click. Isn't that IRONIC. Quite funny to me. :D Might even be useful once in a blue moon!

Problems with notifications

Hi everybody! I have been using greenify for months without problems, but since two days ago I am not receiving notifications in the hibernate apps. I have unistalled the program and the pay plugin but the results are the same. Do somebody have the same problem?? How can I solve it???

Notification Problem on Latest Build

Seems like its confirmed that there are quite some people having notification problem after updating to 2.2 build 2, including me. Everything was fine with 2.2 build 1 + donation package. And before anyone told me to, I've already checked show notification on setting>app.
[Greenify] tariq2kn:
After hibernating the opened user apps, I can still see it in task manager. It would be great if the task manager's list of hibernated apps is cleared because it only when the task manager is cleared, the phone speeds up due to released ram.

In short, the hibernated apps should also be cleared from task manager.
[Greenify] joaoameixa:
I have this version 2.2 build 2 and i cant see notifications :S should i downgrade to build 1? Or its better to stay with 2?

THanks
[Greenify] themadproducer:
If an app is successfully hibernated, it DOES get removed from ram. Maybe your confusing Recent Tasks, with Task Manager? Try another task manager to verify. Or, may the app is not actually hibernated.
[Greenify] tariq2kn:
You are correct. It is the Recent Task(pressing the home key). It should clear this upon hibernating the apps.
[Greenify] nikctsh:
No it should not clear the recent task list. Recent task list simply shows you the apps you used recently, not the apps running in the background. There is no way you can remove an app from the recent task list by killing/ force closing an app. These are two different things.
[Greenify] aeriobi:
You are not alone mate :)

It seems like its a problem with 2.2 build 2

I have just reverted to 2.2 build 1 and everything is fine, so, until this notification problem is fixed, I think we better downgrade to previous version.
[Greenify] tariq2kn:
Why not by a different approach/feature to clear the recent apps list, it really blocks the ram? I think it should be possible.
[Greenify] sordna:
You are mistaken, it does not block the ram. When an app force stops it completely unloads from memory. It doesn't matter that it still shows in recent tasks.

Try android's Force Stop button in app settings. The app you kill still stays in recent tasks. But a task manager or the shell 'ps' command will prove to you that the app you killed is indeed gone.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Do you mean, you still want some of the notifications from that app, but not the GCM push message?

Can you offer me some example, thus I could figure out a proper solution?
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Sorry for the issue introduced in build 2. It broke the GCM-wake feature in all ICS ROMs.

A fix is coming to the following build 3.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
"Recent tasks" are not reflecting apps accordingly. A mix of multiple apps could resident in one task, if they brought up one another. So it is practical not suitable to remove the task upon hibernation.
[Greenify] Bogeyof:
Dont think its only ICS, tested with my phone (ROM Vanir 4.3.1, all OK) and S4 Mini of my wife (Stock 4.2.2, no notifications from WhatsApp and Viber). 4.2.2 Stock Samsung also have these problems with Greenify Beta 2.2 (Build 2)...
[Greenify] joaoameixa:

I have a couple questions regarding this great app:

1. if an app doesn't run in background (ie. it's not listed under the app analyzer running in background, scheduled running and may slow down section) do I still need to greenfiy it? I have a lot of game apps that didn't appear in the analyzer section (unless I expand the show more apps section) I don't know whether if I should greenify them or not

2. what does auto-hibernation do? If I need to click the check mark in order to hibernate the app then why do I need auto-hibernation?

thanks in advance.

OK, maybe you need some more specific instructions.

Lift up your device.

Make sure it is powered on, you can tell it is on because it will light up.

If you do not see it light up, make sure the devices touch display/glass is facing your eyes.

Find and open tasker, it has a little lightning icon.

Add a task using the little + button, name it, click the + button again at the bottom of the screen, click plugin, and lo and behold, you shall see the Hibernate Now, and Wake up icons that are the greenify plugins.

Sorry in advance if this comes across in a condescending way. ;)

But, you are running a very powerful app and you seem to not really even know WHY you are using it or WHAT it could do to help you. Analogy, do you have a flat tire? If not, there is no need to patch it! Why are you even at the tire repair shop? LOL

Read the OP, skim through this thread, and even check out the videos.

That being said, here are compact answers to your 2 questions. (answered so many times in this thread already)

1) First and foremost, BASICALLY....only Greenify apps that you KNOW are causing drain when your in standby...unless you KNOW that drain is necessary for app functionality. You can also Greenify apps that you rarely or never use, especially if you KNOW that they start up on their own...and you do not want them to. There is a method to find apps that do not appear in the list using the FIND icon at the top of the UI. (magnifying glass)

2) Any apps you choose to GREENIFY in the list will get hibernated 3-5mins after the screen turns and stays off. To manually hibernate these same apps in batch form, create a desktop SHORTCUT from your Home Screen Launcher. To Manually hibernate specific apps or alternative sets of apps, then you need Tasker which will utilize the Greenify plugin. And that's another story.

Hope that helps. :good:
