Interesting......Did you try it when you were using SuperSU? I never had an issue prior to 1.71 release with certain (not all) Greenified Apps going pending, and never hibernating, just of late. As I said earlier, the changes to my SuperSU fixed my problem. "Not Automatically Hibernating" I believe are just those Apps which you have not "Greenified" and thus can run at will. Pending is when you Greenifed an App, but it is not yet hibernating. I received the same message that it would hibernate when my phone slept, but they never did.

Did you ever happen to have this issue? Or did it work properly before you made it a system app? (BTW, I would totally recommend Titanium Backup to convert to System and integrate to ROM if you have not tried it).

---------- Post added at 04:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:19 PM ----------

Agree, would also be interesting to look where there are issues, and see if there is a commonality in the Apps which are getting stuck in pending status in the event that helps. I know the major ones I had issue with were Facebook, Chrome, and Maps. Perhaps if those having issue also posted the SU App they are using, might see a trend there.
[Greenify] athdaraxen:
Oh

No I never did as it worked on SuperSU, I mean sometimes Maps and Search would wake each other off but it wouldn't do much damage.

And with me they were Greenified and hibernating but once it woke up either by me or by itself it would say "Not Automatically Hibernating" and never hibernate unless I did it manually and I never had issues hibernating anything.

And it worked fine aside from Search and Maps before it was a system app, but maps and Search would never automatically hibernate. Now they do. On SuperSU and superuser I never have had the issues some of you guys had, just some apps would be a pain. Since going to System app it seems to have made it a little stronger. I don't know. X3 like I said I simply did it because one guy couldn't convert it and I wanted to see if I could and what it would do. Figured it might help. Maybe. Also on the beta.

And I know what Titanium can do I just don't have the spare cash to buy the Pro version. Plan to eventually though. :3
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I'm planning to optimize that soon, after the root issues solved. :)
[Greenify] lonnieboy:
Haven't found any problems with it on my phone. Though I only use the stable versions not the betas. Noticeably increased my battery life. Thank you!!
[Greenify] arjiegodz:
im trying this app. :D

anyway whats the additional unction in using the pro?
[Greenify] Cyclu:
Yes any news about pro version?
[Greenify] venkatp:
Hi, I'm using the latest beta with Supersu and having a small issue.

After installing the latest beta, SuperSu is asking for root permission very often even if grant root permission permanently. Due to this, my phone is waking up very frequently with screen on.

EDIT - Sorry, just checked SuperSu and toggled root permissions and no issue as of now. Will get back if I face the problem again.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
In my early experiments, system apps can now be successfully put into hibernation! No need to convert them into user apps. Cheers~:highfive:

Since some deep hacks into Android framework were introduced, it might be extremely dangerous and far beyond the impaction of current Greenify. Thus this feature will not be released for end users in the near future, until it is fully verified among super users in the donation version first.

Stay tuned~
[Greenify] Phantom_11:
Hey, my superuser (clockworkmod) is installed as user app instead of system app, could this affect the normal function of greenify? thanks
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
In my test, no difference.
[Greenify] Lim Wee Huat:
Both Superuser and SuperSu runs in the background, managing your rooted apps even if you unticked log records. This is the best choice. No logs record and no questions asked, you can even install root and then uninstall the app..

[Greenify] yujizmq:
it will be better if system app can hibernate.
[Greenify] adrian13th:
I just put hibernate shortcut on my notification so now i can hibernate every time i like :p
[Greenify] pwoita:
I just did another backup & rebooted and had the same problem without having updated greenify and had the same problem, so this is related to backup & reboot itself and unrelated to greenify. Sorry for thinking it was your app - never figured a backup and reboot without modifying anything would cause the problem.
[Greenify] AryanAkanskh:
Great work man.

You just made my phone better.

I have xperia mini smultron. It has only 358 mb available ram.

I did have ram management issues. I used app quarantine to freeze apps and launch when needed. But that didnt satisfy me.

This app came as a savior!. Now i have all the memory hogging apps "hibernated". Evident increase in battery life and performance!

I have been using this for several months now and i love all the features and frequent updates.

This app should indeed be widely adopted in the android community.

Integration with tasker is awesome. I put "hibernate now" on timely schedule. It runs every 30 mins.

Please amaze us with continuing updates. Thanks again.
[Greenify] T.G.A:
How did you put it? Is it greenify shortcut?
[Greenify] jaibar:
Yes, there is such a shortcut that you can add to home screens, or as a swipe action in some launchers etc etc.

[Greenify] kantjer:
I really have no idea what you are talking about. Please explain your issue a bit clearer.
[Greenify] airjyp:
Btw is this apps will save more battery? :) and if i hibernate all of my user apps (not system apps) and i opened one of them, will the apps that i has opened will be hibernate itself automatically when i closed it?

[FONT="Arial ="5"]

[Greenify] minidou-77:
Please don't quote OP (original post)

Yes this app will save battery

There is no need to greenify all your apps, greenify only the ones which are told to be battery eager.

Yes applications are automatically greenified
[Greenify] airjyp:
Sorry i dunno about that. Anyway i have modified my post :) thanks for ur help :D

I am in MIUI ROM. I installed this app in the phone storage. but there is no widget. I should hibernate apps manually from the app ..

can any one help me !
[Greenify] kingvortex:
There is no widget. Look in shortcuts for 'Hibernate Now' ;)

Mine gives thr newest version. Maybe try again?

In the upper-left of the screen, under the file name, click on File -> View revisions... , then choose the newest one (Current revision).
[Greenify] Hyperiunn:
Could you add an option to allow for a scheduled hibernation every 'x'amount of time? I'm all for the auto hibernation feature whenever you turn your screen off, but on my tablet I browse the net and also game sometimes and it'd be nice if it ran automatically. Although it may be over kill and could slow my tab down if it ran too frequently, but I think the option would still be great. Thanks for the app and I'm excited that you'll be adding the ability to hibernate system apps.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
If you use Tasker app, then this function is already available :good: and if you read back...it was discussed that the app stay clean.
[Greenify] post-mortem:
You can also add a Greenify hibernate now widget to your homescreen, and hibernate whenever you like.
[Greenify] Hyperiunn:
Yeah I understand that I can use tasker but a more native solution would be preferred. I'm currently using the widget method since I don't have tasker at the moment.
[Greenify] bogdan1980:
I have few chinese tablets bought for my nephew, with 256-512-1gb ram. I tested with greenify, hibernate few apps and now it feels so much better.

On some Chinese tablets i can't install apps to disable startup app, like startup manager, Android tuner. If i do that, after an restart internal card is formatted. So, greenify is the only option that work.

With greenify help, now my nephew could play gta3 on these fake tablets, and work quite good.

you have an awesome software here.

I receive 50mb more ram on these tablets because of greenify
[Greenify] lesp4ul:
maybe this is my fault, i tried to hibernate facebook, google+ and twitter then realized all the notifications were dead :D :D so i deleted those app from greenify, rebooted but the notifications still dead.
[Greenify] hadi_rena:
Try to reopen app to force resuming from hibernate state
[Greenify] Surfinette:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

Use an app called Autostarts and disable everything under Maps and you will still be able to use Maps without being bothered by constant and unwanted wake-up...
[Greenify] thebrainkafka:
AW: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

Disabled Google now. Now hibernating gmaps.
[Greenify] kpavl01:
I froze every app I don't need with titanium backup pro but could I "hibernate" apps like Falcon Pro, Gmail, Youtube etc. that are in my cached apps after i use them?

Doesn't it use more battery than leaving them in cached processes?
[Greenify] MBariya:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

Must have app.

Only 3% battery drain in 8hrs ideal.

Please make system apps to be hibernated.....
[Greenify] scream4cheese:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

Absolutely not.
[Greenify] kpavl01:
"Absolutely not" on both questions?
[Greenify] scream4cheese:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

Absolutely not for the second one. It wont drain power if there are cache in the system. The cache stored in the phone for that particular makes it easier to access the next time you need it. It stores a bit of information for later use. It's kinda like a bookmark for a book. If you need that space the cache is occupying, you can just delete them. But for the first one, you can freeze whichever app you don't need or use.
[Greenify] kpavl01:
Ok, thanks.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Since hibernation do break the push registration, so even after you ungreenfied these apps (removed from list), you still need to re-activate the push registration in them.

Different apps have different procedures, some will automatically re-activate the push, some with push settings can be easily turned off and on again, and some may need to logout and login again.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
A conclusion of analysis on Google Maps

Q: Some of my greenified apps (e.g. Google Maps) seems not hibernating.

A: In short, don't worry about frequently awake apps. Even being awake as you seen, it will still hibernate in minutes after screen goes off, thus hardly add observable battery consumption. Use battery statistics in settings or "BetterBatteryStats" to confirm that.

While most greenified apps will stay in hibernation quietly, some apps do break hibernation, due to being waken up by others. Some known cases include enabled account sync, backup agent, and explicit launch by other app.

Since version 1.45, Greenify will now automatically turn off directly involved account sync of greenified apps when going to hibernate, to avoid the periodic account sync wake them up. For backup agents, Greenify will NOT disable them, to ensure your backup of app data is always up-to-date. As backup usually does not perform often, they are thus unlikely to be waken up often.

Google Maps is a typical example of explicit launch by other app. Some Google apps, including Google Now (a.k.a Google Search), will start the NetworkLocationProvider of Google Maps for its proprietary implementation instead of the public Android one if Google Maps is installed.

Since Greenify is designed to not break any explicit usage of greenified apps, these behaviors are considered "normal", and will NOT be "fixed". To clear out your unease, Greenify will still put them into hibernation when standby to protect your battery consumption.
[Greenify] thebrainkafka:
AW: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

Since disabled googlenow hibbernating of maps works.... No more battery drain in sleep.
[Greenify] athdaraxen:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

I didn't have to disable it, I just hibernated it too. Worked like a charm. It only updates when I open it lol. Killed them both. <3
[Greenify] mettleh3d:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

How do you hibernate Google now? Is a system app for me.
[Greenify] jhericurls:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

You can't, you can only turn it off
[Greenify] athdaraxen:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

You can as long as it's not a system app. For me it's not so I can hibernate it. I just un installed the system app version (with Titanium!) and downloaded it from the market, if you do that it doesn't install as a system app.

Edit: Also as this threw me off for a sec, remember it's not Google Now but Google Search!
[Greenify] oae08:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

How about making 2 or more profiles and then one can choose wheather aggressive hibernation or normal mode. Ide prefer that maps is never launched except when i launch it. Is this possible?
[Greenify] 420 Ghost:
Great idea. Shame it wont work on system apps :crying:
[Greenify] Li4m79:
installing now.....
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Personally, if I was writing the app for me, I would natively include it but there seems to be trend towards keeping the core app...well....un-bloated...clean.
[Greenify] Hyperiunn:
No matter, I went ahead and got tasker and all is well. I was just going in the direction of usability, without the hastle.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Good for you Hyperiunn.

The advantage with Tasker is the nearly infinite options.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I have been considering this option, but at last, I found it a task "too complicated to satisfy all". Some users need the option "night mode" which means scheduling on specific time, some users need the option "every x minutes" which means scheduling on fixed periods, and even worse when some users asked for separate schedules for each greenified app. Still, it is not the end, I received a mail asking for app grouping for better scheduling.

Then, I realised that if I implemented the scheduling feature, not only this feature itself will be a bottomless pit, but Greenify will also become a complicate monster that most users will get stuck in tuning those options. It is obviously not my intention. :)

So, let's just leave the complication to professional tools like Tasker and Llama. They just handle scheduling far better than I could achieve. Thus Greenify could focus on its core functionality and evolves a bit quicker, since I don't have much time developing this app.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Well said. Agreed. I haven't used Llama, but Tasker has all the bells and whistles no doubt especially as you say, there are so many different types of requests and your time is budgeted.

I am looking forward to the "disable" feature for Tasker coming back? I have held back from updating Greenify because the version I use still has this implemented.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
To disable and enable auto-hibernation, you can use the following shell commands in Tasker:

Disable auto-hibernation:

pm disable com.oasisfeng.greenify/.CleanerService

Enable auto-hibernation:

pm enable com.oasisfeng.greenify/.CleanerService
am startservice -n com.oasisfeng.greenify/.CleanerService
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Hey...yeah, I totally forgot oasisfeng. You gave me those codes a while back.

Right on. thanks again. I will let you know how it goes. :good::good::good:
[Greenify] themadproducer:
I did some testing of the above code oasisfeng.

- The DISABLE code run from root shell via Tasker successfully kills both the Greenify Process and Service. :good:

- The ENABLE code does not have an effect and as far as my tests reveal, neither a service nor process is created. I copied and pasted ONLY the code between the quotation marks. I also triple checked the settings and spelling etc. :crying:

- Running the HIBERNATE NOW plugin command using Tasker results in all apps hibernating but no toast notification. :good::crying: (Also, it only starts the SERVICE and not the PROCESS if they are both already disabled....and I am sure you meant that to be intentional, but I just wanted to mention it)
[Greenify] pwoita:
Edit: nm (weird you can't to just delete ur posts)
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
v1.74 beta 3

UPDATE: Further Improved the performance of app list, reduced the load time of Greenify.

UPDATE: Some apps shown as "perceptible" in the past will now hibernate correctly.

UPDATE: Increased the timeout of root operation in Cleaner service to 10s (from 5s) in hope of solving root issues.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Sorry, I missed one more command to start the service:

am startservice -n com.oasisfeng.greenify/.CleanerService

BTW, my above post is now corrected.
[Greenify] StuMcBill:
Is there any sort of "Master list" of apps which are known resource hogs, and would be good to Greenify?
[Greenify] Phantom_11:
installed the latest beta version, so far really awesome. doing great work in hibernating Google Maps and Google Now. just bought the donation key in the Play Store. Personally I don't ask for extra features for donated users, just wanna show some support and hope you keep making greenify better, oasisfeng. :good::good:
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Glad to hear that the latest beta finally solved your problem, hope no one else has any trouble with the root issue any more.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
GCM push is now working for hibernated apps after patching Google service framework. :fingers-crossed:

If everything goes fine, I will release the first two experimental features within the donation version, in a few days.
[Greenify] tisazalay:
I don't have issues with it. Only noticed that whenever I update greenify when I turn off (lock) the screen, when it's supposed to hibernate something it wakes the device that remains in the lockscreen, then when I unlock there's the supersu dialog waiting. I need to untick the ask again in 15 minutes and grant. The problem is that sometimes I don't notice the screen on. When I remember the problem I force hibernation so to grant su right after update :)
[Greenify] elvisypi:
I love your app. I hybernate a lot of apps. I have noticed that none of the apps I hybernate show up in the cached processes. Of course I don't want them to run continously in background, but if they stay in cache they only decrese launch time, right? Is there any way to hybernate apps like FB which eats 25 MB RAM without losing push notifications? Thanks for your awesome work!! :thumbup::thumbup:
[Greenify] polobunny:
No.
[Greenify] elvisypi:
That's rude man and the question wasn't even directed to you
[Greenify] polobunny:
???

I answered your question, it's not possible. That's not how it works.
[Greenify] eushaun99:
If you hibernate fb, the app won't run by itself, so you will lose push notifications. So, the answer is no. Hope that isn't rude for you. :)
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Still not working. Can you test again on your end?
[Greenify] scream4cheese:
Sounds right. :o
[Greenify] yhrn:
I might be missing something here but doesn't the quote below here (from the same page as your conversation) mean that it might be possible soon?
[Greenify] angelgzg:
Is not there some way the apps after a notice hibernate if it is started (eg Facebook)

I think it's almost impossible, but I have the doubt
[Greenify] scream4cheese:
What?!
[Greenify] elvisypi:
That's exactly why I asked. Maybe we missunderstood
[Greenify] Mad Marty:
It is at least not YET possible. Oasisfeng is working on a solution allowing push for hibernated apps (search the tread for 'GCM'), but I'm not sure if this means ALL apps can receive push, or it only works for some apps. But time will tell, Oasisfeng will release it when it's done.
[Greenify] erto90:
First of all, the app is AWESOME, i think one of the best i ever tried ( going to buy the donagion key)

I got a tip,that i consider very useful for most of us

An option that allora to enable and(auto)disable media scanner service

That should autohybernate that service when in idke with the possibility to choose also when not sleeping, his state, ( a simple button activate/deactivate), with the possibility to set an autohybernation when device is in idle

Think about it

Congrats again

Just thought I'd chime in saying the latest beta is working great! This one app has changed the face of Android especially for low ram devices. My Gnex never ever slows down anymore, EVER! Glad I bought the pro key because if there ever was an app worth buying, this is it.

[Greenify] Phantom_11:
is your Google Maps system app or user app? at this stage, greenify can only work on user app
[Greenify] post-mortem:
If you mean that you can't add Google Maps to Greenify's list, it's because you have Google Maps installed as a system app. You need to uninstall it (use Titanium Backup, or other app), then go to Google Play and install Google Maps. Then, it will be installed as a user app, and can be Greenfied.
[Greenify] Phantom_11:
or you can use titanium or rom toolbox to convert it directly into user app

I have tried to greenify the messenger apps, and it works great, no lag at all, but unfortunately no text update notifications for me now. Hope that greenify can wake up some app in serial order (to prevent lag by allowing the messenger to retrieve update one by one) at some trigger event.

[Greenify] AllSeeyinEye:
What I don't quite understand is that Greenify needs root, yet it doesn't allow us to greenify system apps. It can't be that hybernating system apps is something for advanced users, because I think every user with root should be considered an advanced user...
[Greenify] sssurfer:
:laugh: :D :good:

Simply Superb Superb Superb x ∞
[Greenify] athdaraxen:
I don't think that's the issue. The issue is something to do with the system apps being under more security or something due to being system apps. If you read a couple pages back this particular thing is actually being worked on and will not be an issue eventually. :3

And honestly I don't consider myself an advanced user just because I have root. It just means I'm tempting fate lol. I'll be the first to admit I don't know nearly as much as I should but I do know system apps are usually system app for a good reason, aside from Maps, Search, and odd bloatware. They can deal with getting greenified.
