Seeing all the questions about white lists, recommended apps to hibernate, etc... I began to wonder if I misread the faq. It seems so simple:

1. Look at your battery history and/or network usage, and if an app is being a hog,

2. Decide whether or not to greenify it.

The app makes suggestions but it's up to you. And if an app isn't misbehaving in any measurable way, why not just leave it alone? The simple elegance of greenify is part of the appeal.

Perhaps having a look at the data contributed by users to the "raise your voice" can yield a table of what apps are being greenified by users?
[Greenify] bsoplinger:
Correct. Once installed you'll need to reboot every time Greenify gets updated *when* there is a change to the Xposed part. Not every update, just those where the part of Greenify which defines the Xposed module changes. You can tell if the update requires a reboot because the Xposed installer will tell you when you go to the modules tab after a Greenify update.

Is there a list for the most greenified apps out there? My guess is Facebook will top that list :laugh:
[Greenify] Nazo:
I said I was using it, yes. As far as I can tell, for going to phone UI instead of tablet UI, I'd just set the DPI high enough in the "App Settings" module, but this just makes the icons huge (I can make the font size smaller, but can't do a thing for the icons.)

My suspicion is it detects that this particular device has the bar at the bottom since it lacks hardware buttons for home or back and puts its functions at the top instead because of that. However, it's not like it would be a problem to have one on top of the other...

Greenified system apps will no longer wake up during device boot. (donation version)

GCM patch can be disabled now. (donation version)

Known issue:

Wake-up tracker is not working on Android 4.3. I'm still working on a fix.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
It's Facebook exactly. :)

But the data currently collected cannot reflect the actual attitude, since the user base contributes most. So I'm planning to add a whitelist feature to let you hide apps you don't want to greenify from the App Analyzer.
[Greenify] Nazo:
Looks like the link to opt in for the beta versions on Google Play produces a 404 error. EDIT: Nevermind, I found the info on the official page that you have to join the community first. BAD design on Google's part IMO. Any error but a 404 might have made me realize it was something like that, but 404 means that the URL is pointing to a file that doesn't exist, NOT that it's pointing to a resource that isn't available to you... I guess someone needs to explain the Web to Google!

BTW, I'm really glad GCM patch can be disabled, but I still say we should be able to enable it just for specific apps. Some actually use it in a good way whereas some (*cough facebook cough*) abuse it.
[Greenify] victor2868:
Is it the greenify donation version of current version is not compatible with Android 4.3? Because I'd try to installing the xposed mod for Android 4.3, it's successfully install it but when I wanted to activating the greenify experimental features, the pop up is write that I haven't install the xposed, How should I do?
[Greenify] bsoplinger:

[Greenify] sordna:
Anyone knows how that works? When you delete your google account, all apps installed with that account are deleted. When you re-add your accounts, you download the apps back.

Is the app data left on the phone when your apps were deleted, or are they actually backed up to the google cloud, and restored when they are re-downloaded? What about .apk's you installed without using the play store ?
[Greenify] pemati:
No app will be deleted, just add Google account again and sync, all done.

Install the Facebook app and you'll figure it out in a hurry. I'm willing to bet that there are several really that would abuse GCM push like it does, which is why I still think we need a per-app setting for GCM push rather than global. It seems to me like it must mean basically apps like these using GCM push must (I'm not sure whether it's due to bad programming on their part or if GCM push just isn't versatile enough to pre-filter) wake for any event that could need a wakeup under any conditions at all and then decide what to do after waking and some like Facebook basically are going to spam the living daylights out of the GCM push once you open the door for them to do so. I suspect that there are several different apps that would pull the same sort of stunt (possibly anything social networking in particular) though FB is probably the worst. Unfortunately, if these are installed you have to disable it because otherwise they'll be waking and being rehibernated all too frequently. Which is really too bad because for quite a lot of other apps Greenify allowing GCM push is actually a very neat thing indeed.

I'm using xposed donate version so I'm getting notifications when necessary. Also, tasked plugin puts the app back to sleep after the notification so it doesn't stay awake

Did anyone like kind of get a fix for gcm push not working? I already just ungreenified kakaotalk, but there are like no complaints about gcm not working nowadays. Or did people just start searching?!?! O. O
[Greenify] kiemthu123:
Im using donation version and it seems that there is a delay in the gcm push. When receive whatsapp notification, it shows the receive time earlier (normally less than 10minutes).

Does that issue relate to the push frequence?

And I also greenify PlayStore but it always shows pending, is it a waste of battery that the app try to greenify Playstore but it automatically reactivate?
[Greenify] Nazo:
I don't know if it's to fix GCM push being less reliable (he said something about greenifying the Play Store sometimes breaking this I think) but I do find the Play Store having woken up on its own quite a lot lately.

Notifications are caused by other people directly replying to you, posting to your own news feed, and people posting in groups you've joined. In other words, it's less from addicts on your side -- normally you won't get any extra notifications simply from using it a lot (though I guess if you post enough it's more likely you'd get a reply on a post, though FB is so buggy that half the time it won't even give people a reply button, but regardless, within reason it has little effect as people rarely hit reply,) and more from basically just normal use.

Like I said though, there's probably a good chance that there are other apps (probably especially among anything social media) that do this sort of thing.

Check a push token of kakaotalk. If you restore data of Kakaotalk from other devices, the token is not correspondent with your current device, keeping kakaotalk from receiving gcm push.

I've already experienced the problem of kakaotalk not receiving gcm push, caused by invalid push token, and found way to fix it.

You can look up push token id from /data/data/com.kakao.talk/shared_prefs.

You can see gcm preference xml things there, which contains unique device id token for gcm push.

You need to get a new push token. To do this, you can simply wipe data of kakaotalk, and reauthenticate it for your device. You'll find push token id changed and gcm push working.

If you want to preserve dialog data things, you just back up kakaotalk with your preferred apps(i.e.titanium backup) and do the job described above.

*make a copy of all newly generated files in com.kakao.talk/shared_prefs to anywhere else*

Then restore the kakaotalk data you backed up, and copy/paste the copied files where they originally were.

Then you can use kakaotalk with all data preserved and gcm push working.

I shared my experience on a website you might know, ppomppu. You can find my post written in Korean at a mobile phone forum. Search "greenify" there, and read one which has comments nearly the most, if you prefer Korean.

To those who confusingly wonders about broken GCM.

Somehow I had found my device unable to receive the GCM message.

After 3 days of figuring out, reflashing ROM so many times.

I found that if I just greenify Play Store, ALL the GCM breaks.

Ungreenify Play Store and a simple restart did the trick.

Just saying I was never jealous if iPhone performance to begin with. In fact, I'm glad Android does things like it does by default. Good for high end devices but for those who want performance a battery saving app, custom ROM, custom kernel, Android Tuner, and Greenify BLOW anything Apple could muster out of the water. Plus, rooting on Android isn't as difficult as jail breaking, and all this has the added bonus of giving good developers like oasisfeng a job. Regardless of where you live, I'm sure even when you have to deal with the pirates enough people buy still (at least hopefully so, I don't care about Hollywood piracy due to Hollywood constantly crusading against open technology, but I do care quite a bit about software piracy, especially from independent hard working developers) being your own boss has to be awesome.

I know this has probably been answered numerous times, but was wondering why Google search is always pending and it never hibernates.
[Greenify] monomer888:
This is probably because Google Search/Now and Google's location service keep talking to each other. You can probably get it to hibernate properly by turning off "Use wireless networks" under "Location services" in the Android Settings menu, but you'll lose most of the location features and Google Now will nag you to turn it back on.
[Greenify] popkurn611:
Yeah I figured I had to disable the location stuff and I really don't want to because I use Google Now. Oh well I guess I will just have to live with it, man that stinks! Thanks.

[Greenify] popkurn611:
I started running deep sleep battery saver and since I started running that with greenify, Google search has been hibernating. It was weird, with just greenify running Google search would hibernate, but once I opened Google search it would pend forever.

Seems like this deep sleep battery saver app is doing the job so far. I'll report back later if anything changes.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Yah never know what's changed. In my experience, there have been times when certain apps, especially Google apps, have not hibernated properly and then after force manually hibernating, they auto hibernate from that point on. So many variables are at play especially when we are constantly updating apps etc. Good to hear it's working for you anyway.

OASISfeng...

Latest version is working as expected for me.

I have finally been able to let go of my v1.85b6.

One thing that seems to work better so far, is this popular game called Zynga Poker. Hibernating it would not stop Notifications no matter what my settings on either app were. AT THIS POINT, As far as I can tell, it now HIBERNATES better.

Thanks

REQUEST

Would you please consider installing a trial version of the music app RDIO.

It seems to have a component that won't stay Hibernated.

(wakes up a service within 10min - 10hrs of being hibernated by Greenify)

If through your testing, you can find a better solution for keeping Rdio hibernated, perhaps it will benefit Greenify as a whole...and keep other stubborn apps quiet.

I just had a question to make sure I got this right. If I Greenify an app but have it scheduled to wake up say, every two hours and check for new messages (it's Aquamail in this case, schedule check for new emails every two hours), Greenify should let it wake up to do it's thing and then it will fall back into hibernation again right?

I'm just asking because it's not doing that. If greenified it will not wake up for its scheduled checks. If I un Greenify it, it's fine. I just wanted to make sure I didn't have this wrong.

Despite having the scheduled check on and IMAP push off it stays on constantly if left un greenified, but it's a great email app for me so I'd like to keep it but if it keeps doing this I will be switching.

Thank you. X3

It will not fall back into hibernation immediately. It can either be hibernated by auto hibernation or it can remain on pending or not hibernating automatically status.

[Greenify] Looki75:
The behavior you described is exactly how it is intended to work.

In order to achieve what you want, I can suggest you the following: AquaMail has a very powerful Tasker plugin.

So you can:

* Setup a Tasker profile [MENTION=502223]screen[/MENTION] off + executed each "x" minutes - "x" being the period you want the mail to be checked.

* The profile runs a "check mail" task which does the following:

1. switch ON network

2. based on Aquamail plugin, check e-mail for the accounts you want

3. switch OFF network

4. based on Greenify plugin, freeze Aquamail

BUT

Aquamail behaves quite well and does not deplete battery (I use it), so just leave it out of the greenified apps.
