So far, so good. It seems to be giving me a bit more battery life...just have to figure out a few more apps that I can put on the list.

I agree with the above poster...I think it'd be great if you could add a list to choose the apps...maybe in addition to the current method. Great work, though...thanks for the app.

/system/app mover worked for me. I switched it back though, it doesn't cause me any trouble and I only Greenfiy apps that are being a pain in the butt and eating all my battery.

Request

@oasisfeng, it's almost a perfect app. I found it while desperately searching to find a way to put an end to my new app's weird wakeups.

I have 2 requests for future releases:

1) Can you introduce an "autostart_for_a_period and hibernate_again" option for the hibernated apps? Because this way we can still hibernate but also receive pending notifications from apps like whatsapp, gmail etc. It will be optional and wont hurt anyone.

2) This is a long shot but :) besides disgusting wakeups, data connections are one of the most battery draining actions of the phone. Maybe you can add a "data off" function, together with hibernation, for ultimate battery saving. I know there are apps doing this but why not combine them? After all, hibernation is a quite cool point to start with and greenify will lead the way.

Hi. I upgraded Greenify to 1.82 now both greenify and donate show up in xposed. Should I select both modules or just one? Which one? Greenify worked just fine with version 1.8 and donate 1.2 I was able to greenify system apps like network locator that was thr biggest wake lock for me. Now I don't know why would I need two apps in xposed. ..
[Greenify] :
Update the donate version too, then everything will be fine :)

Thanks. I don't know what's going on with play store but it showed update for greenify not donation. Whatever. I just selected greenify in xposed and unticked the donation and everything is working well just the same. I'll unistall donation and reinstall and see what happens.

Right now everything is good :)
[Greenify] Mike B.:
Make sure you have Xposed, the current Greenify 1.8.2 and the current Donate 1.3 addon. Remember to reboot after initially installing Xposed and again after enabling the Donate addon. You should only see one Greenify entry under Xposed and it should be enabled (checked). If you have trouble from using previous versions, even after rebooting, uninstall/reinstall Greenify and the Addon with TiB or a similar tool.
[Greenify] tariq2kn:
Can PlayStore be greenified in donate version?

[Greenify] themadproducer:
Just a wild guess, it could be a SuperUser permissions issue.

Are you using SuperUser or SuperSU

SuperSU seems to be more reliable...judging by posts I've read for many apps over the months.

At least look into it and make sure this is not the cause.
[Greenify] Mike B.:
Assuming you have rebooted after installing Xposed and before attempting to enable the addon, have you tried other Xposed modules to make sure Xposed is functional on your system? For best results, Xposed and the module(s) have to reside in internal RAM and not get hijacked by "sd-ext", "app2sd" or similar tools. Among other limitations, current Xposed versions are not very good at error reporting so experimentation is often required.
[Greenify] weirdsciencex:
Yep I've rebooted several times. Uninstalled and reinstalled Greenify donate. Tried backing up with titanium, uninstalling then reinstalling but still no Greenify module. Only thing u haven't tried is another xposed module.

Edit: I've give up trying to download a module from the villainrom forum.

Couldn't even register because according to their signup procedure my ip has been used for spamming =-O

[Greenify] Mike B.:
@d3xp2pc: Unless you can try another module, it's difficult to determine if the problem is with the Greenify addon or a more generic Xposed issue. It's unfortunate that oasisfeng opted to use that less-then-ideal framework but at least Greenify works nicely without it, including with any former "system" app moved to user space. Judging by various posts in this thread, it's possible that many people are trying to Greenify system apps that don't need to (or should not) be touched. In many cases, a true system (OS) app should be either left alone or frozen/deleted altogether, and probably not Greenified. On my own systems, I loaded Xposed long enough to see if the addon worked, but I'm perfectly happy having donated but skipping both the current addon and that @#$% resource-wasting Xposed... ;)
[Greenify] weirdsciencex:
Yeah to be honest I only donated to support the author and I'm happy with the Greenify app as is.

I was only interested in the extra features to experiment.

I did mange to download a module called modaco toolkit which seems to work fine.

[Greenify] kulguy:
with the lastest version of Greenify and donation installed, notification of certain apps based on c2dm doesn't work if they are hibernated.

I can see greenify module in Xposed Installer, and I can greenify system apps. Seeing that, I assume experimental features are working.

But c2dm seems blocked by apps being hibernated.

Among the apps based upon C2DM, I greenified Facebook, kakaotalk and Google +, all of which stopped notification.

Concerning Kakaotalk, I can receive notifications shortly after screen is off. My device has a LED, and it flickers when it got a notification. So it flickers a couple of times when there is a notification, although kakaotalk is greenified. However, I found LED flickering was gone after a couple of minutes.

When I woke up my device, I found the notification gone, and it was time for the notification to stop working.

I don't use Facebook and google + much, so I don't know how long their notification would survive.

Yes is use(d) Superuser. Could be the issue, but I was able to hibernate the apps manually. It just didn't work automatically as it should :rolleyes:
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Perhaps you didn't wait long enough. It usually happens 3mins after your screen turns off, and if you have many apps needing to be hibernated at that particular time, then it may take longer. If you turn on Greenify too quickly, you may need to refresh the list.
[Greenify] californicated:
I waited for hours, even a whole night :D

But I might try it again with SuperSU. Never had such issues before
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Actually, tonight, at one point, I noticed that Google Search did not hibernate. I have seen this before. Then I manually pressed a desktop shortcut to hibernate it and it failed, but pressing it a 2nd time succeeded.

Oasisfeng, perhaps making Greenify run it's hibernating automation twice in a row, back to back, may help with these more stubborn scenarios. This could be done in Tasker as well for those who use Tasker.

Hi, after the latest upgrade, I am able to see system apps in the app analyzer. However when I select a system app to greenify, I got a pop up said "sorry. System app is impossible to be greenified".... please help
[Greenify] aeriobi:
Does anyone succeed in greenifying Line and still receiving notification?

I bought the donate version, installed xposed framework, and I can greenify system apps, so I think donate version is working fine.

But if I hibernate Line, I receive no notification.

So, can anyone confirm that Line still send notification after being greenified?

Thanks dev for this great app :) :beer:

I have been trying dozens of solutions to correctly perform root operations in half-sleeping state (that's the hard part most root-powered apps never face), but always some combinations of device & rom & root tool may fail on some of the solutions.

I suggest trying the "boost mode" in Xposed module which is the ultimate solution to root issues. (donation is not required) :D
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
It should be 1.82 (not beta) on Google Play
[Greenify] weirdsciencex:
I realised there was an update on the play store and updated. It hasn't seemed to make any difference.

Another problem, I found out not all the apps are listed in the app analyzer? Say for example, I installed Swype and I can see there are 2 process running when using system panel app, one is the main app and the other is call Swype connect, and I wanna greenify the Swype connect so it won't run in the background, but I can't see this in greenify app analyzer....

Where do I find the "boost mode"?

Install Xposed framework, then you will find it in Xposed module list. See description for donation version on Google Play for more information.
[Greenify] tisazalay:
Hi. When I updated donation to 1.3 it disappeared from xposed good.

Every thing is running great.

Just one thing, I decided to get rid of xposed (I unticked the module for greenify then uninstalled xposed then cleaned xposed), when I reboot greenify doesn't show system apps anymore as expected BUT when I toggle greenify widget to hibernate now all pending apps it still greenifies the system apps I had previously selected and forgot to remove from greenify, for example network location and google+.

I know I can go back and fix it but it's kind of weird that greenify works on system apps without xposed.
[Greenify] mettleh3d:
Is the Tasker plugin only good for Hibernating All?

Reason: Folder Sync has a ton of wakelocks for some reason, but it hibernates wonderfully. I want to auto wake it during its sync cycles and hibernate about an hour after. Is there a method to unhibernate or am I asking what everyone else is also (fb, whatsapp, gchat etc)

thx

One suggestion about the app analyzer, can we have it show the whole name, some of the system app show only part of it like com.sec.android.....
[Greenify] tranbeelze:
Anyone know how to use full greenify with MIUI rom? The MIUI rom is imcompatibile with xposed framework :(
[Greenify] tisazalay:
I haven't tried this but a hint is in my previous post.

If greenify works on miui maybe this trick can help.

Install another rom (omega for example not tha aokp) install xposed and donate then greenify what you want. Then backup greenify app+data with tibu then install miui and restore grenify app+data. If the system apps have the same name on both roms there's a good chance that with hibernate all shortcut (widget) your system apps will get greenified without the need of xposed.
[Greenify] Mike B.:
Greenify itself has no known issue with MUI-based ROMs, only the optional Xposed framework does. The only practical difference is that you will need to turn any system app into a user app first if you wish to Greenify it. Greenify works perfectly without the "donate addon". Some of us have donated to support oasisfeng's efforts, but have opted to stay away from loading the addon and installing XPosed.

The alleged need to directly Greenify system apps may be grossly exaggerated and possibly somewhat misunderstood, judging from some posts in this thread. ;)
[Greenify] tisazalay:
An addendum to all this. ..

I got the feeling greenify was working on system apps without xposed but maybe not. It's only reporting it is hibernating without doing so because it reported greenefying google+ but a few seconds later it reported again without any reason for it to start that I can tell.

More to it... I converted google+ to user app and now it doesn't show up in greenify ever (not as hibernating/pending/more apps). I will clear greenify data/cache and hope it fixes the apps being stuck in greenify's memory.

Edit: Clear data didn't help with google+. Only uninstalling and installing back Google+ made it appear in greenify.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
At this point, it's an all for one deal. You could use Tasker to schedule Greenify to be disabled during the folder sync, and then enabled at a specific time after. There are codes for this that Oasisfeng posted for me/us a little while back.

This app is great! I can almost feel my phone running smoother and the apps I've greenified don't even stutter when I go in to them. Amazing job :)
[Greenify] Ashin:
Just me who thinks this app is pretty useless? Especially for tablet users.

My screen stays on a long time, and frequently change apps...some of which are big offenders for leaving behind process and services... now, these just stay there the entire time eating battery...and not until I turn off the screen long enough will they be hibernated...

Why is there no choice for hibernating if the app had been closed in the app switcher...or a timeout to hibernate after minimized long enough?

Really frustrating...this app sounded so great as I read the description then hit the bottom and see... "once the screen is turned off" - totally useless for me, and probably many others too.

Are there any alternatives? Our am I forced to go into settings and force close everything after user?
[Greenify] thracemerin:
The point of this app is to stop apps from misbehaving while the screen is off, sure it keeps them hibernated while the screen is on, but that isn't the point of it. If your tablet is awake anyway it doesn't matter if an app is holding a wakelock or running processes, and force closing everything is actually bad, the Android OS is designed to handle multiple running processes and kill them as necessary and you should leave this functionality alone unless an app is misbehaving and holding improper wakelocks while the device should be asleep.
[Greenify] Ashin:
I just feel if I have swiped it away then it should be gone... if I check Facebook for 5 mins then close it, why should it run several processes for the next few hours and waste battery?
[Greenify] thracemerin:
Processes running in the background are not necessarily using any battery, this is a misconception.

The problem with Facebook is that it holds unnecessary wakelocks, but while the screen is on this doesn't matter, it's only a problem if it keeps the device awake when it should be sleeping.
[Greenify] Mike B.:
@Ashin: You might be misunderstanding the purpose of Greenify. It's not intended to prevent your device from functioning properly while the screen is on (and you are presumably using it). It's designed to put the specified apps on "hold", i.e. remain dormant while the screen is off and you don't need/want them to wake up. Greenifiyng a notably misbehaving application such as Facebook is an alternative to disabling that app altogether. You retain the functionality of your apps without unnecessarily wasting resources. It's interesting that you picked Facebook since that's one of the most common offenders. Until a better version of that app appears, if ever, Greenify is pretty much the only way to keep using it for those many people apparently addicted to Facebook... ;)
[Greenify] thracemerin:
Exactly.

For some reason people seem to be obsessed with Greenifying every app on their device and this isn't the intent of the app at all. In general Android does a very good job of handling it's resources and killing background apps to free memory as necessary, killing everything can actually cost you more battery in the long run because rather than just bringing an app that is already in RAM (fast memory) to the foreground it has to completely restart the app from storage which ultimately uses the slowest part of most devices which is the I/O from internal or external storage.
[Greenify] avd:
I had DS Battery Saver running with very aggressive custom settings, but disabled it to do some updates plugged in overnight. I forgot to turn it back on and now find the system is running better without dabs running.
[Greenify] Mike B.:
Most of those "battery savers" are trying to reinvent the wheel by preventing Android from doing its job. Unless you're still running Cupcake or Donut, they are usually useless at best and often even detrimental. At one time, deleting or freezing was the only way to control misbehaving apps, but now you can Greenify the offenders easily without breaking anything or adding unnecessary components to your system. ;)
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
That must be a bug, I'll look into it. Without Xposed module (patch), Greenify cannot actually hibernatize system apps. It looks like hibernated, but in reality not.

I hope I understood your post. Posting in English on this site would be best.

If your Meizu MX2 runs the standard ROM (4.1?), it should support Xposed. Try installing Xposed and testing with another addon. If Greenified shows system apps but can't hibernate them, uninstall Xposed but remember to REBOOT, and maybe even uninstall then reinstall Greenify to get a fresh reliable list of applications.

That would drive me mad, but it's good to know that so far hibernating it only has minor side effects.
[Greenify] Mike B.:
If you Greenify Google Play Services, you might effectively Greenify anything that relies on it. It's unclear that Grenifying it instead of dealing with specific applications would be a wise choice. Just because it might remain resident doesn't imply that it's wasting resources or unnecessarily draining your battery. In general it might be best to concentrate on whether something SHOULD be Greenified instead of whether it CAN be Greenified... ;)
[Greenify] kingvortex:
+1. I've read most of this thread and the general attitude that I see is that if something is running, then it MUST be hibernated. This is wholly wrong.

I have 4 things on my hibernate list that are badly behaved and restart after I have done with them and actually have an effect on standby battery usage. I'd wager that a lot of people have 10 times that amount on their lists :rolleyes:
