It's been over a day and I would have to say the positives outweigh the negatives (if you can even call them that).

Here's another screenshot to demonstrate that I consistently get little to no battery drain when my screen is off and the key was to hibernate Google Play Services.

I have over 200 apps installed on my phone, 5 homescreens full of widgets, all updating properly. All Google apps work and the ones I need to notify me still are (ex. Gmail, Google+). YouTube, Calendar, Search all working normally. I have Wi-Fi, 3g, GPS on all the time.

I'm on WIUI (MIUIandroid rom), using a Xiaomi Mi2 with 3120 mAh battery.

1.7 beta 9

Introduced an adaptive root reservation mechanism, in hope of solving the root issues in a small number of devices & ROMs (including Meizu), while still give best performance for well-implemented root management tool.

Hope it will be the last beta for version 1.7.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Are you still experiencing the issue that Greenify was causing high battery drain?

According to your screenshots, the PowerManagerService holds an unusually high amount of waking time. But I don't know why... :(
[Greenify] ericjj:
Thank you very much for the great app!!

But please allow me to ask some stupid question.

If I greenified facebook and whatsapp (I use them during wifi is ON only), will I receive any update/notification when I first turn on my wifi without launching them? Will the wifi on trigger them to turn on?

Or should I ask social/messaging apps are not suitable to be greenified?

Thank you.
[Greenify] eushaun99:
You won't receive any notifications as the app is hibernate. And I don't think its a good idea to be greenified
[Greenify] haveagr8day:
PowerManagerService is just the total of all partial wake locks, and I don't think any of them were abnormally high.
[Greenify] parthipanramesh:
Yes but when I disable greenify everything is working normal. :( Do you need any logs? Or something else to figure out the issue?
[Greenify] g-one-ger:
I love ur app it increased the spped and life of my s 3 but i have a problem with ehats app sometimes i recieved the messages about 30 min later but i dont hibernated it, does someone have an idea to fix it ir isnt it related to greenify?

[Greenify] themadproducer:
parthipanramesh,

First off, if I could actually get 1-2% total drain overnight...over say 8hrs, I would never touch a thing on my S3. That number is to dream for! The closest I have acheived with just about everything disabled, including running in APmode, was .3% per hour (about 2.5% over 8hrs) and that is if nothing happens on my S3 whatsoever. Typically though I get .7-1.5% per hour without Greenify, and .4-.7% with Greenify. Keep in mind, I consider my experience in battery saving advanced...and obsessive.

So my point is, why even use Greenify (which I love) if your getting such stellar low drain in the first place? (I am not trying to be a smart ass) Greenify is most helpful for problem apps that like to be busy when you don't want them to....and thus they drain your battery. If apps are behaving and not draining, then Android Memory Management is well equipped to take care of the rest.

For test sakes, I would do 2 more BBS tests and send them here. Use a CUSTOM REFERENCE point in BBS just before you go into standby for the night. Do one with Greenify ACTIVE and one with Greenify Frozen or uninstalled. Also, start the test at the same battery percentage. (eg 80%) That way, the tests will be less skewed because battery drain is non linear. Comparing the 2 tests should give us some hints possibly.

EDIT : I just noticed that the 1.6 doesn't have the internet permission. I installed 1.7b9 for 3hours and it ate 500Mo ?? WATDAFUK ?

Can someone tell me why Greenify use a lot of data ?

Over 500Mo and I use it since Tuesday.. (2-3 days)

When greenifying cerberus, is cerberus useless? Or will it wake up and when getting a command via sms/website?
[Greenify] rollingdices:
As cerberus is practically non existing then, it cannot wake up. As long as there isn't a service running (outside of cerberus) that wakes up cerberus.
[Greenify] kingvortex:
As far as I can tell, Cerberus never even wakes my phone or runs without a command being sent to it or being manually started, so why would anyone even want to Greenify it?
[Greenify] lukaaa47:

[Greenify] kingvortex:
Then something is wrong. Cerberus never holds a wakelock on my phone and never has on any phone I've used it on.
[Greenify] mattiadj:
I want understand if with this mod I can improve my multitasking as in ios. On ios wherever apps launched if stopped is resumed from the same point when it was paused.

With this can I do that? For example... I'm playing real racing 3 then I press home button and make call, SMS, surf... When I open again real racing 3 I can resume it at same point when I have stopped it??

Thanks!

[Greenify] lukaaa47:
please, i cant find link to beta 9 version to download?
[Greenify] kingvortex:
Short answer - no. Apps are killed and stopped from restarting when Greenified. They will not resume at the state they were when you closed them.

Read the OP for an explanation on how Greenify works. :)
[Greenify] parthipanramesh:
Yeah you're right. I only use Greenify to hibernate apps like Facebook, Maps and that stuff cz they're running the whole time. And i have a lot of frozen apps. Greenify is for me a better solution. Yes I'll do 2 or 3 more BBS tests. Thanks! :)

oasisfeng man your work is really great. Thank you so much.

Greenify is awesome and combined with your other app Bytes Insight, I can literally control and see my phone the way i want.

Thank you once more, keep up the superb work! :good:
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
In my study, the side effect of delayed push, is actually caused by the heartbeat frequency of GCM connection. The default frequency on cellular network in most area is about 28 minutes, which is too low to be disconnected within some carrier network when the baseband is in power-saving mode.

Before using Greenify, some apps wake up the CPU and baseband more frequently than normal, in effect, this reduced the period of GCM heartbeat and covered the problem. After you greenified these troublesome apps, your CPU and baseband are free of disturbance, but that actually exposed the heartbeat issue more perceptibly.

You can install the Push Notification Fixer in play store to test and solve this problem.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Sorry, mostly no. Greenify is not a multitasking management tool.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I'm still seeking a way to achieve that...
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
In the OP, the download link of beta version.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I'm sorry to hear that. I tried to minimize the bytes to be sent, and no Internet operation in the background service at all.

If you are still experiencing that problem, would you mind to send me a logcat (if you know how to get it).

At present, please opt-out in the About dialog to avoid the problem.
[Greenify] Marsou77:
Thank you for answer me.

I reinstalled Greenify from Playstore (without internet permission), now it's okay. I was in wifi so there is no problem from my side, and maybe the battery drain experienced by other is this data leak.

[Greenify] Rhonin86:
the test starts

hi there,

i have downloaded the app from the playstore and test the features in order to mininmaize power consumoption and providing the most possible available memory.

There is only one question left. If the greenify was started and all possible apps have been "greenified" is the further running of the app requiered ? That means : will the greenified apps keep in their state ? During the night i let greenify run and my power consumption is higher than without it. So i asked myself if it is better to let it run before going to bed and than deactivate it ?

Maybe it' a noobish question - but it helps me to understand the app's behaviour :o

THX in advance

Rhonin
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
In normal circumstances, Greenify should have no impact on overnight battery consumption. There might be some issues in your case.

Are the apps you have greenified get auto-hibernated correctly?
[Greenify] yomiguy:
Thx a lot for this amazing app! It has increased the battery and running of my s3 in amazing way! ;)

Yesterday night even without greenifing line which eats battery, but greenifing other apps I only spent 6% battery in near 8 hours!

I'm impressed! Thanks!

Yeah the god damn play store.

I just moved play store (and maps and google search app and "Internet" - ie broswer) to be user apps and now I hibernate them, which is cool.
[Greenify] Rhonin86:
As far as i'm able to judge it the app works correctly - that means every time the screen goes off and i turn it on - there are no more apps to hibernate. Also if i open the app manager none of the chosen apps appears to be be active. So i think it is working....

I'm quiet new to hibernating apps so maybe i have to collect some experiences - thx for your work - may i should try your beta ;)

Cheers

[Greenify] Rhonin86:
Exactly this was my question :o

This night i stopped the app after hibernating all other apps and the power consumption during the night layed on the former results this morning: < 0,1 % per hour nearly unmeasurable while in flighmode :good:

During normal usage i've got the impression that my memory is tidier, the overall system performance great and the consumption lesser than before - but due to my "little" usage i can't compare it with my former power consumption.

Cheers and THX again

Does anyone know when a stable 1.7 will be released. I heard Greenify does greenify apps in the new version as the screen goes off. Actually I am using a Tasker profile to get the same result. :)
[Greenify] android404:
Your right. My (unused) google talk didn't t work properly and kept cerberus awake. I fixed it more and cerberus sleeps now without Greenify being involved.

Sorry for ot, thanks for pointing out the misbehaviour.
[Greenify] ArbiterGR:
Excuse me for posting this without searching (and therefore not knowing if this is already addressed), but will there be any option to unhibernate apps on demand using tasker ?

There are some apps that i do want to use during the day and i rely on them for background notifications, but i don't want them to consume memory or drain battery, when i'm doing certain stuff (sleeping, biking etc). This is something that could easily be managed by tasker only if greenify would give such options.
[Greenify] post-mortem:
If you just want to use Tasker, you can freeze/defrost the apps on demand. You can then use the app factory to turn those actions into an icon on your homescreen. No Greenify needed for that.

[Greenify] elmexicanoalto:
When Greenify first came out it was flawless especially with hibernating Google Now and Maps. Since installing the betas I've noticed Greenify isn't as efficient enough to shut down Google Now and Maps. It seems with Maps it'll hibernate for a bit while screen off but then start up again while screen off at the same time. It used to keep it hibernation unless I turned the screen on.

If you like Techhouse you can listen to my tracks here:

[Greenify] :
Quick question:

If I greenified a dozen of (user) apps and happened to Titanium backup all the apps. After I changed ROM (fully wipe) and Titanium restore my apps+data, will the app lost its "original" functions or I will have to ungreenify them before I backup?

Because as of now my Greenify over the new ROM is also restored from Titanium backup so there are existing apps inside Greenify do I need to Re-greenify them or they will be greenified upon launching Greenify?

Sorry for the confusion if any, hope you understand my question ;)

Thanks

I reallly love your app :)
[Greenify] The Broken:
Afaik, greenify is responsible for hibernating them (it has to ask root every time) so uninstalling greenify will stop that and let your apps run in the background. The same is for restoring backups, without greenify nothing is changed about the app.

You do not have to ungreenify

Should I put apps like CPU Spy, QR Droid or Root Explorer onto Greenify? or there is no need?

You could use the app better battery stats to see if they are draining your battery or not. If not I think it's not necessary to greenify those apps which have a normal consumption, unless they are executing in background.

---------- Post added at 07:22 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:13 PM ----------

I have some thirty apps on the list I guess. As I said, it happened only once to me, but I noticed that re-greenifying these thirty or so apps happened instantly, while greenifying a new app always takes one or two seconds. I also did not notice any increase of lag in the period before the apps were lost. This suggests that all apps were still on the greenifying list and this list somehow became inaccesible. So it might be just an interface issue.

There is also something I want to suggest: I don't know yet if the app runs in the background. If it does, it would be cool to have an indicator to mark it. I imagine it like when the app greenifies sth. in the background this indicator would appear for a second or two in the statusbar as the smart stay eye does.

Maybe you could think about it :)
