I've installed the latest beta and now Greenify stops working within 5sec of starting it unless ofc I dont press anything in it.

Edit: I've tried reinstaling but it still hangs almost immediately after I press anything.

Opted out from the beta and going back to stable version. This one at least doesn't crash.
[Greenify] oldslowdiver:
Yeah, that's not my case. Let me know if I can help with whatever logcat you need. TY.
[Greenify] Lord_Flaya:
LP does not interfere with greenify as to my knowledge, unless it has been patched or by other means tampered with. I have recently done a great series of testing due to many complaints about lp messing with greenify, and not once i encountered such issues. When patching or tampering with greenify lp does have an impact on the functionallity of greenify.

Sorry if ot
[Greenify] Porobu:
Lucky patcher interferes if you enable google license verification emulating. Disable it and bought donation package works again
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
The delay is adaptive, thus cannot be set as a constant value.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I'm afraid it's not connected to the version of Greenify, but the Google Play license verification service itself.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Sorry for the terrible trouble. Do you mean at first it "crashed" (stop working), then after the re-installation, it just "hung" instead of crash?
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
1. The confirmation serves as a warning for potential bad consequence of greenifying system apps. In the future version, I planned to remove the confirmation for common apps bundled in the ROM (not the core system apps).

2. The standard backup mechanism was implemented since early time of Greenify, unless backup is disabled in your device Settings - Backup.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Could you please capture a logcat around the verification failure for the first time after you start Greenify.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Could you help me by capturing a logcat around the time the screen freezes?

HELP

Auto hibernate does not work! (i9500)

i have supersu .

Nothing wrong with the root utility.

Now plz dont tell me to make a shortcut.

It should hibernate as soon as the app is closed.

Plese do something about it quickly.

Without auto hibernate this app is crap. Infact it adds one more app in running section.
[Greenify] Vagelis1608:
Auto habarnation takes place some minutes after the screen is off.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Sorry, I cannot quite understand your case. If an app is not in the app list in Greenify, how can you find out it is hibernated?
[Greenify] thahim:
I added some apps like facebook, fb messenger and whatsapp in greenify and after that they went off the list and I alao stopped getting tgeir notifications.

All notifications popped up when I run the apps manually.

I had to uninstall greenify, but I want it back if you can solve my problem.

[Greenify] eushaun99:
You know you could show some gratitude (and a little more info) to the dev instead of saying the app is crap without auto hibernation...

BTW, greenify only takes 2.3mb of RAM for me. It could be a little more for you, but what is around 5mb of RAM compared to the huge 2gb of RAM your i9500 has?
[Greenify] bhargav1991:
i dont mean to disrespect anyone.

its great that someone has done something like this.

but after trying it so may times still it doesn't work.

and hence the frustration.

anyways great work dev :good: oasisfeng
[Greenify] kingvortex:
It does work. It's you that doesn't understand how it's supposed to function.

Auto hibernate does not mean as soon as the app is closed. It happens some time after screen off. You should read through the thread and educate yourself before complaining further.
[Greenify] oldslowdiver:
This is my first time taking a logcat, let me know if that's accurate, https://www.dropbox.com/s/ciewr48xeipa83d/logcat_and_device_info.zip?dl=0

Hello,

This is a general message to all.

Please understand how to use this app before insulting and criticizing it. If you don't know what you're doing, please ask respectful and you will, hopefully, get the help you need.

Now that you all have provided assistance. Please get this thread back on track.

Regards...
[Greenify] pratik_193:
I guess almost all of us here are very well aware of the concequencies of greenfying certain apps, but, you can make a selection , if selected, it should not ask for insisting again & again...

2. i mean there should be a backup mechanism in greenify itself to backup a list of apps greenified, so that when a user changes his rom, he just have to restore the settings so that all the apps which he greenified in his previous ROM will be greenified automatically..

Just a thought...
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I changed the section header from "Pending" to words better reflecting the actual time hibernation happens. Hope that could reduce the confusion.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
According to the logcat, the license verification service in Google Play Store is gone. Does any other app with license verification also failed to verify the license?

That might be caused by "wake-up path cutoff", or by some patch applied to the Google Play Store app. Please first check whether you have cut any wake-up path off Google Play Store. Then try to remove patches if any was applied to Google Play Store app.
[Greenify] oldslowdiver:
Thank you. Well, I have this verification failure issue only with Greenify; anyway, there's no way to 'check' if I cut anything from Google Play Store, because it is a system app, so, it won't be shown in Greenify, due to the license failure.

And I have no patches applied to Google Play Store app.

What can I do?

Consider that I also re-installed the core of Gapps, recently, as a try to restore the license check.
[Greenify] :
I went thru the logcat to diagnose freeze issue but by myself I could not detect the problem. I think am not a pro and xpert to getting logcat but trying to learn. soon I will get u logcat file.

My screen is weaking up every few seconds (but if i hold the proximity sensor, it doesn't happens). First i thought it could be gravity box or kernel related. But now i think it is greenify. Some ideas?

How can greenify system apps?

sorry for noob question, i have rooted my samsung s4 yesterday and learning about. i have greenify donation pack and checked "greenify system app", but i cant find any system app in greenify.

I want greenify "google maps" but can't find it?

[Greenify] Hedied4me:
If I purchase greenify pro can I greenify Google Play services? Will it stay hibernated until I open an app that uses its service?
[Greenify] gabebcn:
I tried to do it in the past but there are several common apps that call GPS for location, notifications etc and was always awake so i decided not to greenify it
[Greenify] Hedied4me:
Bummer. Takes up so much memory.
[Greenify] meiyi2:
Any idea why there are so many wakelock? Which one should I greenify?
[Greenify] sinarterputih:
using greenify 2.4.1 beta 1, the donation package is not working, I purchase in google play but keep asking to use donation package when I want to enable few option on experimental feature.
[Greenify] Christiancs1969:
Uninstall reinstall
[Greenify] Locke.Huang:
It looks it is not an Application, so Greenify could not green it.

I think you should find out the which application use the andorid service(in the top 4 items), and green it.
[Greenify] marchrius:
Hi everyone, are these issues solved on the latest play store version?
[Greenify] greenifybugreport:
I have a bug/anomaly to report when using greenify together with Go Launcher. While greenify seems to be working just fine (as far as I can tell righ now) it does not play nice with the Go Launcher when using the Sleep&Lock icon. Device goes out as intended, but upon wake up (and entering the pin) I only SEE the last active home screen. No button, gestures, ... work. Problem is solved by pressing the home (hardware) button once. So it seems the Go Launcher is also put into sleep (a bit?). If using just hibernation icon the same thing happens (sans the locking of the screen) - nothing works anymore except the status bar and the hardware buttons.

For reference I am using a non rooted phone and Go Launcher is NOT selected as an app to hibernate, but it looks like it is nonetheless. Is there some sort of exception list it could be put on?
[Greenify] meiyi2:
You mean the application that causes system wakelock?

Ia that KakaoTalk, Dropbox, Gallery, WeChat, and Puffin?
[Greenify] pratik_193:
Yes..! Greenify them
[Greenify] maltinbay:
Thank you for your respond, another noob question: which system apps should i greenify?

I want to greenify lots of them without hurting the system.

I have xposed framework and donation pack. So i can greenify WhatsApp or facebook messenger?
[Greenify] kernelmoron:
Yes to Facebook Messenger (altough sometimes push notifications arrive with some delay), no to Whatsapp (not really necessary).
[Greenify] maltinbay:
Thank you for your respond.

So you say WhatsApp don't use high battery or wakelock?

Which system apps should i greenify? Especially Google maps or Google play services?

I want greenify most of them for long battery without hurting the system.

And i use s4 and i have lots of bloatware like s health, sensor services, group play etc...

Should i greenify them?
[Greenify] kernelmoron:
You should greenify apps that are misbehaving causing high wakelocks (Facebook being no. 1 usually), whatsapp really doesn't, always keeping in mind that if said app is one you use often then it would be counterproductive to do it.

I have Maps greenified but i don't really use it that much (ditto Facebook). Regarding Play Services it's not recommended.

Most of this questions have already been answered before in this thread, you should do a search for any question you have and if it's not already answered then post it.

Cheers.
[Greenify] devil_den:
Probably the best app that I am using...on the donation pack....need a option for batch hibernating of system app without warnings...coz I known what I am doing....

Question on Amazon store and updates

Living in China is being without the play store so i bought the donation package via Amazon store that is available here.

However their store is hardly updated :crying:

Found a way to get the latest version on my Note 3 anyway through downloading the apk from the OP link (Dropbox) but was wondering why Amazon never sees the updates?

Great app for the note 3, save battery like crazy on the Note 3, Thanks a million to the dev for this super app ;);)
[Greenify] endiz:
I enabled the gcn hibernation option with keep notification. But now everytime I get a notification, my pebble notification app pushes the notification to pebble and it repeats the same notification three or four times. I'm using Pebble Notifier by Niek to push the notifications to my pebble.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
That probably means some of your greenified apps were waken frequently, or used frequently. Keep the list to minimal will reduce the wake-lock hold by Greenify.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Yes.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
v2.4.1 beta 2 should have fixed the annoying interruption of automatic hibernation in non-root mode, and improved its stability.

If you have this issue previously, please try out.
[Greenify] bso44:
Got it. So if I greenified Google Search and it's receiving GCM pushes all the time or location wakeups, Greenify is also creating wakelock holds?
[Greenify] Locke.Huang:
It is hard to say which one is the killer precisely. My experence is Green all the Google apps, then infrequently apps. Suggest to use BetterBatteryStats to trace the hibernation issues.
[Greenify] akshayk01:
[MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION] any new updates for Amazon app store.

Regards
[Greenify] Pkt_Lnt:
He states a number of times earlier in the thread that Amazon keep rejecting updates. They do not understand the app. That is why he did the migration to the Play Store. I know that is not available to all countries. Good luck. At least you can download the last beta in the OP.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I'll still summit every stable update to Amazon Appstore, hope next version will get through.

The migrated version from Amazon Appstore actually depends on nothing but network access. You don't even need Google Play Store.
[Greenify] bso44:
I came to ask about the same thing. Tapatalk keeps waking up and says "Push received" in Greenify. Did you use the cut-off feature and did it fix the problem for you?
[Greenify] jj one:
Same problem for me and I always use the cut-off sperimental feature.

I also disabilited notify receiving in Tapatalk settings!

Inviato dal mio GT-I9100 con Tapatalk
[Greenify] bso44:
Yea, I have Tapatalk notifications disabled too. I'll try cutting off the wake-up path.
[Greenify] jj one:
excuse my english, but I wanted to say that, although I use the cut-off tracker feature and I have notifications disabled from Tapatalk settings, I continue to have ongoing wakeups of Tapatalk. So, for me the problem still persists
[Greenify] txx3:
there arent so many apps where the dev is doing so much for it ..pretty industrious! good work mate
[Greenify] bso44:
Maybe there's a different wake-up path that needs to be cut-off?
[Greenify] greenifybugreport:
Never mind - problem was solved after rebooting the device. Apperantly some parts of the software need a restart and do not work when installing alone.
[Greenify] nIGhT-SoN:
Hi, bought the donation version of this like a month ago. I really like this app, just wanna say thank you!

Btw, what's the difference between Root mode and Boost mode and which is best and why? If someone can explain it to me. xD
[Greenify] avd:
All things being equal, boost should work better, but in some cases root works well. Boost mode doesn't hit the su program as hard, so it is more efficient.
[Greenify] swivelzz:
need help

Hi, this apk work awesome until this morning it auto update and left me nothing than empty shortcut, i can't uninstall it, and i can't reinstall it.

Please tell me what should i do?

I use Asus Zenfone 6

Best regard's
[Greenify] marchrius:
Thanks man. Updated it. Best app ever.
[Greenify] jj one:
Greenify says push received, but I've disabilited notify receiving from the app
[Greenify] bso44:
So even after you cut-off the push received wake-up path, you still get the same push receive wakeup?
[Greenify] jj one:
Here are the screenshots of my experimental features menù in Greenify and Tapatalk settings. Notifies are disabilited.
[Greenify] J-Pod:
Feature Idea

I have a feature idea. could the Donation Package include the option of not auto-Greenifying apps that are in the recent apps panel? That way they are just temporarily un-Greenified while in the panel and then auto-hibernated if they are swiped away? Thanks!
[Greenify] asdfasdfvful:
Is anyone using the september 3rd beta slim gapps? I don't know if that's the issue, but I flashed that along with a new rom and the greenify donation app is no longer recognized. I reinstalled both apps multiple times and cleared cache from the play store. I heavily rely on GCM push so I'd like some opinions on how to fix this :/. I'll try flashing an older gapps if it'll work
[Greenify] radionerd:
Upgraded to donate, but can't get apk to acknowledge donate. Will grab logcat in a while.

v2.4.1 beta 3

when I try to tick out the tab SHOW ALL APPS.it force closes

fix it plz

I am unable to greenify even all user apps
[Greenify] oldslowdiver:
Hi there, I just wanted to share here what fixed my issue with the license verification service: thanks to this post (http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=49135443&postcount=6), I downloaded Disable Service App, which showed that my Google Play Store app had the license verification service DISABLED (can't say why..)..

So:

1) Use Disable Service app, go to system apps, find Google Play Store app, and re-enable the verification license service,

2) Apps > Settings > Force stop Google Play Store App > Clear cache and clear data

3) Apps > Settings > Force close Greenify and Greenify Pro

4) Open Google Play Store

5) Open Greenify > Experimental options > then verification license finally works.

Yuk!
[Greenify] txx3:
is something like greenify only when not in use possible? ...i listen to a lot of music ..but when not i like to greenify my mp3 player ...doing so stop the music whil.screen is off ..:/
[Greenify] themadproducer:
[MENTION=5126786]txx3[/MENTION]

Do you leave the music app in the foreground before turning off your screen? If you do, then Greenify should NOT be hibernating it. Also, I don't think Greenify will hibernate an app that has an Ongoing and/or Permanent Notification. Not 100% sure. Possibly rom/device dependent.

Workaround. For one of my video players app, I use OVERLAYS and TASKER to automatically have a FLOATING hibernate ICON appear whenever the video app is opened. When I click the floating ICON, it hibernates the video app.
[Greenify] txx3:
no it's not in foreground ...i usually not greenify music because of this
[Greenify] themadproducer:
[MENTION=5126786]txx3[/MENTION]

Makes sense.

In my rom, I use PowerAmp and it keeps an ONGOING notification even when it's not in the foreground. Thus, it stays alive and does not get hibernated. Perhaps your music app offers that option?
[Greenify] radionerd:
Oasis,

I sent you my logcat, emailed to your play.google.com@public.yourname... email account.

Can't greenify apk's any more, or upgrade to donate version

Thanks,

lately note that consumes more battery trying to sleep app, the actual consumption of the app...
[Greenify] TechnoSparks:
That's why people here has recommended many times for others to not hibernate some apps that you use frequently.

This app keeps on updating, but i dont see any changes...
[Greenify] niteh@wk:
You ever read the changelog? It's not always visual changes.
[Greenify] marbertshere:
I wanted to ask about this. Many people report that they are receiving push notifications from their greenified apps. Others are saying that they aren't.

Unfortunately, I'm in the latter camp. I really want to Greenify Facebook but I don't receive any push notifications. I am working in boost mode and have all the experimental features enabled.

Is there a consensus on this issue? Is there anything I can do to get my notifications? Thanks.
[Greenify] Markmaster:
I can't tell a word about Facebook chat, but can about Viber: I have my pushes on the WhatsApp, Hangouts, other staff, but greenified Viber still stay quite while others. And this app has a GCM push icon near.
[Greenify] radz_:
Yes sir!

1. Fix crashes

2. Google play services wake up issues..

Prior to this update i never had crashing issues, nor wake up issues on Play services...

And some of the previous updates. this apps works fine at all.. great app. No issues.. i dont know why other users have issues.. so simple to use! Anyway depends on the user though or compatibility issues maybe.[emoji12] [emoji12] [emoji12]
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
It'll be once per batch in the future version.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
That's practically impossible since Android L, due to security concern about recent tasks.

BTW, swiping away apps from recent tasks frequently is not a good practice, since it reduces the efficiency of process cache mechanism in Android, thus impact the performance of your device.
[Greenify] bso44:
Wow...I've never heard this before. I'm kind of OCD about swiping away recent apps.

So how often do you recommend swiping away those apps? And does swiping often permanently impact performance?
[Greenify] J-Pod:
Oh Sad, thanks for looking into it for me. But even with root and Xposed there is still no way we could get around Android L's security issues? Have it be an experimental feature or something? I know IAP's are no fun, but I'd pay more for that feature gladly!

Same here! I always keep my recent apps as clear as I can. I hadn't heard that it detrimentally affect performance.
[Greenify] pradeepb:
Deleted
[Greenify] TechnoSparks:
Would you explain more about this? I am really surprised seeing this statement! :eek: I always keep my recent tasks cleared (when I am done with multitasking of course), as it seems like the recent task actually kill an app. For example if I open Greenify, and then gone back to home screen, and then swipe Greenify away, the app will be closed (I mean not the hibernation service).

It has been my long-term habit to do this, and I haven't seen a significant impact on my device. But I do want to know more about this more from you because you know, small things can become a large thing if gathered a whole.
