this is the best app i ever used...just hoping that hibernation in non root phone does not require to tap "force stop"..sorry for my bad english...

Still work? How can Llama be used now to do this?
[Greenify] himmler1:
hi. i like this app very much but i have 2 questions about it.

1) after how much time the app is greenified after the screen go black?

2) i want to buy the donation package to greenify system app such as hangouts, google+ , maps etc.

to use this feature, i need to install xposed installer or xposed framework? i won't install xposed because it caused bootloop on my orange hiro with stock rom.
[Greenify] memaro_maro:
you need root permission for 'exposed installer'. that means you need fully rooted your device. unlocked phone ~ flash custom recovery ~ install superSu & busybox from recovery.

do some reading before do it!! its worth it..

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

Wow, you're right! I just tested it and typed some random data into a text editor. After the editor hibernated, the app was still open but my data was gone. I need to rethink which apps I allow to hibernate. Thanks for the heads up.
[Greenify] VitorMSA:
Testing for the first time this app. At the moment it's all ok.

Great Job!!!!
[Greenify] Guzanni:
This is awesome, thanks for this! I hybernated the Facebook app, but imho I don't think there is a better Facebook app out there, so I installed SLK Notifications for Facebook (actually it works better that the native notifications, those never work..) to still receive notifications, but the app itself is hybernated, so it won't drain my battery anymore. :)
[Greenify] nm8:
I don't know what's happening with mine. I have been reflashing 2 roms, XELK1 and XMB5 and its the same. Sometimes it gets hibernated, sometimes not. Then sometimes after hibernation, when I check after about 30 minutes or so, it shows as pending again....
[Greenify] spupuz:
what about to set an option that start application once the device is connected to a power source for more than 10 minutes?

This will permit to sync for example google plus or apps that normally are power hungry.
[Greenify] bobdoblo:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

Great idea! or just disables it when connected so everything can do its stuff and get fully up to date every time its on charge?

*NeatROM*
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
You can surely do that with Tasker or similar tools. :)
[Greenify] spupuz:
can't understand how
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Setup a task in Tasker listen for power-connected event, and launch whatever app you want.
[Greenify] nyepo:
Just a little question:

Hibernating any system app with Greenify lets your Android still qualify to be OTAupdateable, if you were before that?
[Greenify] kingvortex:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

You can't hibernate system apps.....
[Greenify] nyepo:
Wop, and excuse me for that question but ... Google Maps or Google+ App are system apps or are not? 'Cause I was referring to that kind of apps (preinstalled apps on Nexus 4, in my case)
[Greenify] kingvortex:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

Preinstalled apps are normally in system/app, so are classed as system apps and cannot be hibernated by Greenify. By all means, install Greenify and try to hibernate them ;)

Edit: I see others telling you to convert the apps into user apps. I did not do this, as it is written in the faq at the beginning of the thread and at least 20 times since then!
[Greenify] Harsha Raj:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

You can easily uninstall the system apps which are available in play store, and install them back again from playstore and then greenify it. You won't loose any functionality as such and you sure will be eligible for OTA.
[Greenify] gabi11:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

My google search also FC when trying to voice search.

Don't know if it's related but I converted it to a user app using TB pro and greenified it.

Tried to convert it back to system app but still - FC's when I try to make a voice search.

Any suggestion? Is it even related to what I've done?
[Greenify] TenBelowZero:
AW: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

Uninstall, reinstall from play store and greenify whatever you like...
[Greenify] bobdoblo:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

Yes it has issues when converted to user app so revert it back to system app and just leave it.

*NeatROM*
[Greenify] Harsha Raj:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

Like bobdolo said sometimes converting system apps to user apps via TB cause the app to FC.

Since the Google search is FCing on you even when it's converted back to system app, I suggest you to uninstall it via TB and then install it back from playstore.
[Greenify] zukа:
Is there any way to Greenify the Google Play Store? It uses a lot of background processes and wakeups, and whenever I try to greenify it with the app picker, it doesn't work.

It seems to work but when I reboot my phone all my apps are ungreenified and I have to pick them all over again
[Greenify] xXghostXx313:
Love the app especially the donation addon. Hopefully the fix for the apps get killed when the screen is off like Facebook messager.

Edit: The notifications for messager don't show up correctly. it will just ring but not show notification but after another notification it will show up because I'm guessing the app is finally running the background like normal. So its the app fault right?
[Greenify] mankent7:
Hi I am a donated user of greenify , I am having issue with auto hibernate problem. My device is a rooted xposed xperia z c6603 with custom rom existen z black v5. Custom kernel XzK v21. What can I do to get back the auto hibernate app works.
[Greenify] sohebq:
Well never really liked the concept of this app, because I always felt that one should remove the app alltogether rather than hibernating. Hence stayed away from it. Now after using it, I am very happy and it has changed the way I used to think. Now I am getting around 20% extra life out of my battery. This is impressive.

Now I am recommending this app to my friends too. Good job dev. :)

[Greenify] Georgel25:
Hello everyone,

I have a problem - i did a full wipe, installed latest cwm recovery, flashed latest SlimSaber 4.4.2 (07/02) and slimgapps, and remained at the rom stock kernel...everything it's ok; previously i had SlimSaber 4.4.2 (02/02) with DorimanX V10v67 kernel (kernel which has SuperSU).

I want to install Greenify donation version...and with Xposed installer i must install the framework first :) but when i click install/update, it doesn't want to install app_process, only XposedBridge.jar. It gives me some kind of error, but i cant see what, because it's just a blank spot and i can only click ok.

Does the super user broke after i did a full wipe and installed the latest rom or what could be the problem ? Sorry for the kind a off-topic question.

Regards,

George
[Greenify] sshafranko:
Why dont you go into yhe su app and make sure you granted permission to xposed. If not you can do it in su. Its a start.

I must install SuperSU or do you mean the superuser app from the rom ? I tried to install SuperSU in normal mode, but it fails...my rom has TWRP recovery, so i believe i must install it that way

Just to let you know, it works fine for me on ICS. Perhaps you will need to uninstall, Reboot, install, Reboot.

You might want to check your greenify donation key. It gets corrupted if you restored it from TB
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
2.2 build 1 is release in beta channel

Now you can "wake up" hibernatized app via a new Tasker plugin. It's not just pulling the app out of hibernation, but also trying to resume its background services and tasks.

Take WeChat (no GCM support) for example, if someone sent you a message during hibernation, when it's woken by Tasker later, you will get a notification for that message. Shortly afterward, it will hibernate again (even when the screen is off), unless auto-hibernation is disabled.

Currently, not all apps are supported to be woken, and nothing will be done if apps are already awake. Most apps with background service or periodic task for network fetch are supposed to be supported. Please report back whether your favorite greenified apps are supported, I'll further broaden the support if technically possible.

WARNING: Since "Keep Notifications" feature needs Xposed framework, you may lose the notifications totally after its following hibernation. At present, it's suggested to be used only together with "Keep Notification" experimental feature. I'm still seeking for a way to bring "Keep Notifications" feature to root users without Xposed.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I'm also planning a heuristic feature to automatically schedule the wake-ups ahead of time, based on your usage pattern, somewhat like the new predictive multitasking in iOS 7.

So I'd like to know how you take advantage of the "Wake up" plugin in your Tasker rules, and what do you wish to get in this heuristic wake-up feature.

[Greenify] vPro97:
Hello guys. How can I make tasker auto hibernate upon display off with no root? The accessibility thing that's supposed to automate the process doesn't work when the screen is off. Can anyone help please.
[Greenify] jb.traveller:
I have just found this great app (2.1) today a year after release. Speeds up my rooted Samsung SIII and 2012 Nexus 7 . :D:D:D
[Greenify] nikctsh:
Very happy to see this :) Since I'm not a root user, at least not for now :D However I got one question, is there any way to shut the facebook app down completely in non-root working mode? Because it keeps re-run after I force stop it. Many thanks again!
[Greenify] cheese458:
Is this right for screen off hibernating?
[Greenify] Lazy79:
I think so. Have the same task here and works.
[Greenify] vPro97:
Are you guys using tasker rooted.
[Greenify] kantjer:
This is briljant. I can now hibernate DropBox and let Tasker wake it when a new picture or screenshot is taken and I'm connected to WiFi using the new plugin so DropBox can upload it :good:

Tested and working.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
If an app keeps re-running, most probably because other apps woke it up. I'm afraid you need to find out the source of wake-up, in order to eliminate that in non-root working mode.
[Greenify] Lazy79:
Yeah.. Has root privileges here
[Greenify] vPro97:
Hm im not rooted and it would be awesome to find a way to automate the greenify process when I put the device to sleep.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I'm afraid that's not viable yet, unless you can bear turning on your screen before hibernation in Tasker.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I have not tested Lllama personally. As Lllama and Tasker share the same plugin API, it should work.

BTW, why would you like to trigger hibernation after screen goes off? Doen't the built-in auto-hibernation fit your need?
[Greenify] brajesh.sharma87:
[MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION] do you have any idea how we can detach the greenify app from google play? I have bought the paid version from amazon app store and if the app gets auto updated from google play then I will loose the paid app feature.

On a side note, kindly look to solve the issue with amazon appstore so that users like us dont get the updates late.
[Greenify] mdamaged:
Disable auto-update on the app.
[Greenify] Urheberrecht:
Great App, i am saving a lot of battery and my phone feels a lot snappier.:)
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I've noticed the similar behaviour in another app, it's still unclear whether it's the fault of app or Greenify? I'll further digg into this issue.
[Greenify] Pkt_Lnt:
Yes, or you can detach it from the Play Store with Titanium Backup.
[Greenify] Gatz:
Sorry, bad wording... I meant "also" and not "still" :)

Anyway no it doesn't work, because I now understand the auto Force-Kill is a touch-emulation process and cannot be performed while the screen is off...

---------- Post added at 06:17 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:16 PM ----------

Is auto-hibernation working for without ROOT? I understand this feature is delayed and not even sure if ever possible?
[Greenify] Vit5000:
How are you getting updates then?
[Greenify] mdamaged:
Go to the store, and they appear, then you can update them manually. In his case he just needs to disable the one apps updates from Google play, not the others...he can still get the update from Amazons app...and the rest of his Google play apps can stay on auto-update if he prefers.
[Greenify] cheese458:
Should I turn off auto hibernation in greenify when using Tasker?
[Greenify] themadproducer:
This used to work, but a day or 2 later, Play Store will reattach the app. It's a long term known issue with this Titanium Backup feature.

The only and sure way to resolve, is to re-sign the apk for said app. 100% effective.
[Greenify] Lazy79:
Update to latest greenify version and look into accessibility settings. There should be greenify listed.. Enabling it should at least make some kind of automatic hibernation work even without root. At least I thought so since the first betas with this feature for non rooted devices..
[Greenify] sordna:
There's an app called Permission Master. It can remove permissions from apk's (which is awesome) and as a side effect, you never get prompted to update apps whose apk's you revised.
[Greenify] vPro97:
I did that bro, seems like you missed the end of my post "when I put the device to sleep" anyway oasis told me there is no solution yet so I'll patiently wait.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
I will check that out, Thx.

Tell me, what is your reason for permission removal? Just curious.
[Greenify] sordna:
I don't use it for greenify, but I use it for some other apps, usually to remove location or sometimes network permission.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
[MENTION=5003130]sordna[/MENTION]

Can you give me an example of how you would remove permissions? I ran the app, chose a test app to remove permissions, and I see a bunch of empty check boxes. Do I need to check each box? Do I need to allow the removal and reinstall of the test app? I don't necessarily want to remove... For example, Internet access for the test app.

Thx in advance.
[Greenify] michigan66:
Does anyone get an error message that donate version is corrupt? I have to uninstall it and reinstall almost daily. Any solution that is known?
[Greenify] sordna:
If you remove too many permissions, the app will force close. Try one or two permissions and see how it goes. Anyway, the boxes you see list the existing permissions, so you check what you want removed. You can either do it on an apk that's not installed yet, or if an app is already installed, Permission Master will uninstall it, package a new apk but with the permissions you selected removed, and re-install it. You will lose any app data of course. Anyway, this is completely OT so let's not discuss it here any further.
[Greenify] aprasetio:
Does anyone here use i9300 with greenify?

Do you activate the power saving feature in i9300?

[Greenify] Dreadllokz:
Great APP... BUT

It's a great app, but... It's making my SGS slower than without it. Used to be better on 4.1 JB! On 4.2 and 4.3 the phone feels slower after installing and adding apps, Greenify app also keeps restarting. Maybe something with low memory devices, tried to ajust minfree, didn't help. Uninstaled Greenify and some more apps, and the phone is running great again on CM 10.2.1. Now when I install Greenify again, with feewer apps installed, I can't notice any performance improvement but the Greenify app doesn't restart all the time like before.

PS: iPhone never get slow? Haha, maybe iPhone5+... iPhone 4s or older versions owners are constantly complaining about how slow the phone feels, freezes and resets. Some ppl are even switching to High End Androids since the iPhone 5S is very expensive here in Brazil.
[Greenify] sonwon:
My guess is you are Greenifing to much. Only Greenify what you don't use every day and try that.
[Greenify] sordna:
Greenify is a very lightweight app. Check your battery stats and wakelocks and you'll see it doesn't consume much resources at all. Also it has nothing to do with installing apps.

Some other app was slowing down your phone, not greenify.

Just greenify apps that are consuming resources and are running when you don't want then to run. A task manager will verify they are not running anymore. Depending on your phone's capabilities you may or may not feel a difference, but the fact is Greenify works and keeps less processes from running on your device.
[Greenify] Pkt_Lnt:
If you flash new rom and restore with titanium backup, yes. It is a security feature of greenify. The known solution is to uninstall and reinstall from the play store. If it happens without flashing roms and restoring, you have something messing with apps on your phone.
[Greenify] padraigdoran:
Hey guys, just wondering if ye know what intent or broadcast to send from Tasker to manually wake up an app that had been Greenified, specifically the Facebook app. Thing is, I don't want to launch an activity to actually open up the app on screen, I just want it to be activated in the background to manually check for notifications.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
[MENTION=4534455]padraigdoran[/MENTION] [MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION]

I just tried to wake two different apps in background with this new feature, but it did not work. I will test a bit further.

Tasker example...

PROFILE

- event, display, display unlocked

- Task, Action, Plugin, Wake Up, configuration (choose app to wake).
[Greenify] padraigdoran:
Where is the wake-up plugin, I can't see it at all, not in the search for plugins neither

Edit, nevermind, totally missed the new app update, didn't even know it was a new feature lol
[Greenify] achaeusz:
After upgrade not working

The app was awesome. It was working sweetly on my Galaxy Note 2. It is unrooted. After the update many apps are not hibernating at all. It seems as it is not working. Thank you for the nice work.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
@oasisfeng

I did some extensive testing of the new Wake Up feature in b2.1 using a tasker TASK initiated manually by a Tasker shortcut on my home screen.

Apps Tested

- Kaiten Mail :good:

- Folder Sync :good:

- Google Play :good:

- Viral Pro :crying:

Three out of four ain't bad but I am sure there will be others that will have wake up issues.

System Freeze

UPDATED....after rebooting my S3, the waking of said 3 apps only gives me a short system stutter or lag for <1sec which is totally reasonable. So don't forget to reboot.

Wake Up from Sleep

It seems that I can only WAKE UP an app, that has been previously HIBERNATED by Greenify. I'm sure that was the intent right? Oasis, would it be possible, to implement code, to do the same sort of wake up, for apps that are not running and have not been previously hibernated. In other words...launch app or SERVICE of app, in BACKGROUND??? Boy, what a BONUS feature that would be. :laugh:
[Greenify] padraigdoran:
The new wake up feature is not working for me at all. Tried Facebook, eBay, K9 Mail, Hangouts, Google Authenticator, some others too.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Did you FIRST...hibernate those apps before attempting to wake them?
[Greenify] padraigdoran:
Ya, both manual hibernation and automatic hibernation
[Greenify] themadproducer:
What are you using to verify that they have woken up? (in the background)

I use System Tuner Pro.
[Greenify] padraigdoran:
I'm just checking to see if they are in the Pending list of Greenify. I restarted my phone and now Facebook wakes up on Tasker command. I'll check with another app to see if others open properly.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
[MENTION=4534455]padraigdoran[/MENTION] [MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION]

Of course...REBOOT....and so did I...after reading your post.

Sure enough...now I only get a slight and acceptable stutter for <1sec after waking up 3 of 4 apps. So this is pretty darn good now.
[Greenify] padraigdoran:
Ya, seems good to me too. I can't get XDA Premium to open with Taker plugin, although XDA app notifications never worked with Greenify for some reason, might be related.
[Greenify] Dreadllokz:
You are prob right! Didn't know this could be an issue so I have always selected every single app installed on the phone that I don't want to be running 24/7. Like, 40~50 Greenified apps, only Nova, Messenger, Whatsapp, Swiftkey and Tasker NOT Greenified! haha, everythink else hibernated. I'll try this after my next flash and come back with some feedback. Tnx for the imput!!
[Greenify] cyber_system:
AMAZING

This app is AMAZING

I have never had any battery problems with my HTC One. I am getting a huge increase in battery life, about 60-70%

I really love the work you guys on xda do :)
[Greenify] marchrius:
Google Play Store seems to be always in the pending list. It used to hibernate (automatically) fine, now I have to do it manually. Not a big deal since this is the only app behaving this way, but it's weird...

edit: nvm, now it seems to hibernate fine again
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
What's the result of Viral Pro? Do you get a message of "not supported yet", or simply no effect at all?

The system should not freeze, I guess it's just because the plugin is currently implemented as a translucent view, which block all input until the wake-up is finished. I'll try to improve that.

Currently, app not hibernated will be ignored in wake-up, I think that's the actual meaning of "wake up". Why will you need to start the background service of awake app? Is it already running if not hibernated?
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
It probably woke often (by various paid apps for licence validation), just like not hibernated.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Greenify just does what you want: wake the app for its background services and tasks, not the visible UI.
[Greenify] kantjer:
If you want the app's UI to load, just use the "load app" function in Tasker.
[Greenify] marchrius:
Exactly. :good:
[Greenify] padraigdoran:
I didn't know about the new feature and was going to ask you too implement it! No need now :) Thanks
[Greenify] themadproducer:
For my example of Viral Pro, there is no indication of an sort that it has not woken. It simple does not wake up. I will test again later.

The freeze is not nearly as severe as I previously stated thanks to a reboot.

One example of why I would want to start an app in the background, or as we say, "preload it into ram", is for the DIALER or CONTACTS. On first opening of contacts after a reboot, it is slow to open. Also for many, contacts eventually get kicked out of ram if not used often or if too many other apps are opened. A Tasker schedule could be set to Preload certain core apps such as contacts and improve the user experience when it comes time to use it. I have seen this option requested over the years, but have yet to see any dev offer it. In Windows, this ability has always been available, depending on app etc. It could be a great addition.
[Greenify] marchrius:
You can do that with the xposed module "app settings". Just choose your app and tick "resident". It forces the app to stay always loaded into ram.
