Because its constantly running and eating my battery...
[Greenify] justjr:
What about the 1.97 pushed yesterday, changes from beta 7?
[Greenify] weirdsciencex:
Are you using the donation version? You can then using the wakeup tracker to see if it's just being woken up constantly.
[Greenify] iamnotkurtcobain:
I have a conversation on skype and turn off the screen to save battery. But greenify greenifies skype altough it's active.. If I play music with Google Play music and turn off screen the app doesn't get hibernated. So why Skype? :(

[Greenify] weirdsciencex:
Maybe Skype doesn't use gcm but it's own method of keeping the connection alive.

I would just ungreenify Skype or maybe wait for the op to give a better explanation.
[Greenify] MALONGZY:
Thanks for the tip. I was able to install the framework but Greenify says that the Xposed module is not activated even though it is. :( . I guess it's best I wait for the official release.
[Greenify] Ash359:
I just got the new update from the play store and tried the new scissors feature.

My biggest issue is with svox tts.

I would like to stop the okcupid app from waking it up however I would still like my MapQuest navigation to still use it.

Has there been a solution for that?

You know what, I just looked thru the settings and noticed all is off except for 'Scan obsolete apks' I switched it off too and will see how it behaves. I'll give it 2 days and report back. Thanks for reminding me about that :thumbup:
[Greenify] AbhishekS:
So I have finally purchased the donate version. I have this doubt now.

Is this possible:

I greenify Facebook so that it doesn't drain my battery and doesn't use the RAM. Now when someone sends me a Facebook message, I get a notification for the same.

After getting the notification, the Facebook app is greenified again but the notification stays intact for me to have a look at it.

Possible?

And if possible then how to do it?
[Greenify] 1haumann1:
Yes it is....go in to experimental features and set a hook

swyped from my maguro
[Greenify] AbhishekS:
Are these settings enough?

And will this wake up an app when a push notification is received and then IMMEDIATELY put it back to hibernation?
[Greenify] FuMMoD:
I copy the modified 4.4 hack in this thread for xposed into the designated folder and it does not work. What permissions do I put, 644 or 777. Do I reboot after or click install updates in the downloader?
[Greenify] AbhishekS:
And also how is the entire working of auto hibernation?

I opened a Greenified app (Tapatalk in this case) and after using closed it. Removed it from the recent list too.

Tapatalk was closed since 10-12 minutes but still was not hibernated. It was under the 'Pending' category.

Can someone help me on this too? :)
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Auto hibernation happens 3-5min after screen turns and stays off.

Was your screen off for 10-12mins?

Hi there [MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION]

I can't install greenify through play store or from here https://www.google.com/url?q=http:/...k&sa=D&usg=AFQjCNH-RgStgpJyASAUOMCquCVb2jX4ug

It shows that I don't have enough space. But I tried to install other apps, and it works, only greenify cannot be installed.

As you can see, I have 2.43GB available, but I can't install it, that's weird.

I can install other apps with no problem

Click the spoiler to see the screenshots.

I hope someone here can help me solve the problem. Thanks.
[Greenify] AbhishekS:
Oh didn't know that. Thanks! :)

That generally happens when you try to odex an app. Are you on KitKat and trying to odex it to use with ART?

If that's the case then don't worry. The last update of Greenify supports ART. So you don't need to manually odex it.
[Greenify] atomomega:
Are you running a odexed rom?
[Greenify] crispi7:
Do you have more than 50mb free in your internal memory? (Sorry, but I don't know if you are a noob and the torch app os very very little, si as far as I know about your problem , that could be the reason)

You have more than 2gb free but the bar is completely green xD
[Greenify] limyuyang:
Uhmmmm....nope. I'm not using KitKat ROM, I'm using TouchWiz-based ROM, android 4.1.2.

This is the ROM : xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2280401

It's a deodex ROM.

The screenshot I posted was internal memory. BTW, I'll try to download other apps, and why my bar is completely green ? It's because I downloaded a few 3D high graphics games such as modern combat 4, call of duty, and I use folder mount to move the data/obb to sd card. Well, I have deleted some of my games, and now it's not completely green anymore. And yes, I have more than 50MB in my internal SD, I have 2GB free on my internal storage.

Anyway, I'll try to install Talking Tom Cat, it's 32.61MB. But it still can install, no problem at all. The only apps I can't install is greenify. :(

I deleted some apps and games and my bar is not completely green right now.

[MENTION=5300079]limyuyang[/MENTION] I just did a quick search on the Web and the results I'm getting are bad. Were you trying to patch Greenify using Lucky Patcher?

If yes, then I'm so sorry don't expect any help here. Support the dev please! :)
[Greenify] yochananmarqos:
I extracted XposedBridge.jar.newversion to the aforementioned location, activated the Greenify module & rebooted. Framework showed XposedBridge.jar was not active. I then selected Install/Update & rebooted. Greenify module is still checked, but it says it's not activated yet when selecting it. Did I miss something?
[Greenify] limyuyang:
Bro, I did install lucky patcher, but I didn't use it to patch greenify. I really can't figure out what happen.
[Greenify] AbhishekS:
Then I guess it's Lucky Patcher which has odexed your Greenify app. Maybe accidentally.

Have you purchased the Greenify Donate Pro Key?
[Greenify] defim:
Bro, YMMD
[Greenify] AbhishekS:
Haha!

Actually I know the solution to his problem. Willing to help too, but I won't unless I confirm that he isn't trying to do piracy.

But no idea how to confirm it. :(
[Greenify] yochananmarqos:
Screenshot of Lucky Patcher showing that Greenify has no patch applied maybe?
[Greenify] Hirishiolo:
If you launch LP then it would clean your old odex files, so if this problem isn't resolved, there are other causes
[Greenify] smope9n:
Had to change permissions

This didn't work for me until I tried changing the permissions on XposedBridge.jar.newversion before rebooting, chmod 644
[Greenify] theamazingaustin:
Did this running Dalvik NOT art, and when booting Android glitched out and got stuck in a bootloop. Reboots, flashing xposed uninstaller, cache and dalvik clears, reflashing kernel all did nothing. Android would get to "Starting Apps" and just sit there for half an hour. Eventually had to wipe and reflash rom. Might be a coincidence, but I'd urge everyone to do a Nandroid beforehand just in case.

Anyone else have issues? I'm backing up and trying again.

I've been running faux kernel for a week or two now, so maybe the issue had more to do with that than updating xposed, but it hadn't given me issues before.
[Greenify] limyuyang:
Nope, I only using free version, I got no credit card to buy donation one.

Anyway, I found a solution, I restore my nan droid backup, and my greenify is installed already. So thanks everyone.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Technically, Greenify cannot determine whether an app is actively working, except if it posted an on-going notification (like Google Play Music), or stays in the foreground.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Try chown to the same user of other files in that path.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Yes, that's enough. Greenify will put GCM woken apps back into hibernation after a while (about 3-5 minutes), not immediately.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Seems like it needs to be "chown" to the same user of other files in that path on some devices.
[Greenify] yochananmarqos:
Yep, that's what I missed. Got it working now.

I was wondering if that would make a difference too, but leaving the owner as root worked.
[Greenify] AbhishekS:
That's cool. Thank you so much. :)
[Greenify] tcat007:
I installed "Xposed Installer", but decided not to mess with it. Can I just hit uninstall on the app? I am rooted, but have no clue what most of you are talking about, and the apps I want Greenified seem to be doing it fine. Only Google Music seems to pop up all the time, but does get Greenified.
[Greenify] MALONGZY:
working fine on 4.4

Thanks all for the tips. I finally got xposed framework working on 4.4 by copying the file into the required folder and changing the permission to 644 using ES file explorer before rebooting my phone.

if something is 644

it is able to be read+written to by owner

it is able to be read by group

it is able to be read by others
[Greenify] banccalif:
Copying what file to what folder exactly? Xposed installer to system/apps?
[Greenify] jgcaap:
Haha :p donation spoiler. You had with root to access on data and delete the odex. Greenifie is great APP :) deserves to be bought
[Greenify] limyuyang:
Yup, greenify is a nice app, indeed. But my family doesn't let me waste my money on these apps, so I'll be using the free version only. Tehe. :)
[Greenify] Oohhlala:
What happened to me? I couldn't enable system app hibernation features although i have activated greenify module in Xposed
[Greenify] crispi7:

Please read before posting!!! I'm sure your eyes will not explode after reading 2 comments :eek:
[Greenify] AbhishekS:
Can I Greenify SwiftKey? :P

It uses around 35mb ram for me.

You can do it, but every time you go to write, the keyboard will take several seconds to open. So I think it is not recommended.

[Greenify] Ruchit Nahar:
pls add a feature

Its my humble request to the developer of greenify

To try and add a feature where in timings can be set

To degreenify a selected app.. For eg. Whatsapp

Runs an auto backup at 4am but bcoz it is hibernated

It cannot take a backup.. so if the feature is added than

It is possible to degreenify the app around 4am so that

Backup can be executed..

Thank you..

Please revert back
[Greenify] itsLYNDZ:
I am having issues Greenify-ing Google Service Framework. I know there is a tutorial somewhere on XDA that shows to do this to save battery. Im running Android 4.3 and cant make that into a user app in Titanium backup. It just wont let me. Greenify donation always shows it as "pending" and never automatically hibernates it. I have certain GSF items in Autostarts set as not to run on startup. Are there any others I should disable on startup?

In the Greenify donation app on Android 4.3 it no longer shows Google Service Framework. Even tho it is a system app. It shows other Google processes tho..I dont know why this is...
[Greenify] avd:
Maybe a tasker script?
[Greenify] artafinde:
I got latest donation version and latest Xposed Framework (with Greenify module enabled). I can get all the settings enabled (donation version properly working) and got it to "GCM push for greenified apps" enables.

My issue is that whatsapp doesn't "wake up" when someone sends me something. It used to work before latest updates. Is someone experience the same? Is there a workaround?
[Greenify] atomomega:
Read the OP. This app aims for simplicity. Per-app time-based hibernation would complicate things.
[Greenify] itsLYNDZ:
Google service framework doesnt show up in the donation version, so I cant Greenify it. But other google processes do. Google play services shows up, but will never automatically hibernate. Those are the two I only use Greenify for that dont behave. And running Android 4.3 you cant make GSF into a user app. You can make google play services into a user app, but everything force closes after that....
[Greenify] thracemerin:
You shouldn't be greenifying Google Services Framework or Google Play Services anyway.
[Greenify] itsLYNDZ:
This tutorial shows how to control it with greenify. Google service framework is a huge battery drain. Ive done this on 4.2.2 with an older version of Greenify. Now it wont work.

Can Greenify be fixed so this works again? I cant turn GSF into a user app on android 4.3
[Greenify] h3llpoiso_N:

what do you mean by resource hooking modules?
[Greenify] thracemerin:

[Greenify] yochananmarqos:

I have the same problem, it worked correctly in the prior version but with 1.97, google play services do not hibernate(I ended up disabling my GPS, wifi location services and ability to use GPS location and this solved my problem) but would like to be able to renable them but if I did, I lost 20% of my battery last night.

Any way to get the prior version?
[Greenify] oli20021978:
Hi,

I still have a problem. My Xposed is running under 4.4

[Greenify] -DM-:
I noticed the problem with google play services even with greenify v1.9.6 when I posted here and it's still present in v1.9.7, it started when GPS did a silent update, it somehow now bypass hibernation as it shows to hibernated when looking at greenify but it still present in the system running process....even when it restarts itself there no traces in greenify for what intent started it, it just shows to be hibernated but it is not.
[Greenify] stan04:

[Greenify] themadproducer:
Advice re Google Play Services not hibernating.

For many of us, this is not an issue.

It has always worked and continues working for me.

I would guess the problem is:

- rom specific

- setup specific (there could easily be an app or mod that is interfering with it)

- needs a full re-installation (one of those quirks....has happened to me with this very app)

If it was me, eliminate the variables.

I would do a Nandroid Backup (which I always do anyway), temporarily revert to a FRESH rom....and test Greenify. If this fails, then I would try a stock rom. If your using one of the newest roms, try an older rom. (eg JB rather than KitKat) This shouldn't take all that long to do, if you know what your doing.

If all this fails, then talk to Oasis about providing him a Logcat etc.
[Greenify] itsLYNDZ:
Im not reverting to an older version of Android just to use your app. And Google Play Services hibernates, its Google Services Framework that doesnt show up in the newest version of Greenify donation.
[Greenify] PyromaniacGhoul:
No superser

Hi all

I am running the latest version of Greenify and I have bought and installed the donation package, installed xposed - installed that and activated the modules etc and also running the latest version of SuperSU, but when I open SuperSU it doesn't show Greenify; meaning it doesn't have superuser access/root correct? Is this normal? Also running the latest xposed and tried installing/updating it and the modules with no luck.

Sometimes certain apps don't wake up, namely facebook when I get a like, message, wall post etc. Whatsapp for example works perfectly though...

Is this because of the no root issue?

I have all the experimental features enabled if that makes a difference.

EDIT: GOT IT TO WORK :) Factory reset my phone and everything is working now :D

Thanks :)
[Greenify] themadproducer:
That's what I'm talking about! Good work. :good:

And though you don't know what the exact reason or incompatibility was...at least now you know Greenify basically works with your FRESH rom.

Thanks for the report update.
[Greenify] -DM-:
Well it's happening on my tablet and phone, the tablet is on ICS 4.0.3(stock rooted) and the phone is on JB 4.1.2(stock deodexed rooted), same behavior is seen on both devices, Google Play Services does hibernate but the odd thing is it restarts itself and from what I can see after doing some debugging, only when changing the network state, let's say if I switch from mobile network to WIFI or vice versa, Google Play Services shows up in running services in settings but it still shows hibernated in greenify (and no signs of what woke it up and no signs of it running in the greenify app analyzer), starting GPS manually and then going to greenify shows that is been awaken and it can be hibernated and stay in that state unless there is a change in network state again...also after doing a reboot, GPS is alive and kicking and doesn't show in greenify even if it was hibernated prior to the reboot which never happened before either...

And as I said before this happened after GPS did a silent update to version 4.0.33 which is the version that I have on my both devices at this time, something definitely changed in GPS in that update that kinda bipass greenify actions...

As far as Google Framework, I always leave it alone as it will bug the system for sure so can't say anything on that one!

ps: no root problem on my side, I just checked (root working fine on tablet with Superuser v3.1.3 and on phone with SuperSu v1.69)
[Greenify] sonwon:
I think he was only suggesting loading a different ROM to test.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
[MENTION=3336974]-DM-[/MENTION]...actually, what your describing here, is not really an issue. Assuming I understand you correctly, and assuming when you say GPS, you are abbreviating Google Play Services, then all is well.

If you have an app like "System Tuner Pro", you can look at your list of running processes, and click on G.P.S. for more details. You can scroll down a lengthy list and see things like PERMISSIONS etc.

What you will notice is a list of SERVICES under the heading...SERVICES. I like to refer to them as SubServices. They are all dependencies of G.P.S. In this app, S.T.P., you can individually DISABLE any of these SubServices. Anyway, what I think happens, is that these SubServices are waking up G.P.S and other APPS will do this. For instance, Opening Google Play will wake up G.P.S. Mine almost ALWAYS wakes up when my screen turns on because it triggers a SYNC which likely relies on G.P.S. It really doesn't matter what the trigger is. It would be futile to try to track them all down especially if you install new apps.

The IMPORTANT thing, is that during SLEEP/STANDBY, G.P.S. should remain HIBERNATED. (UNLESS...you have intentional things running in standby that would cause G.P.S to wake up....eg A late night scheduled update which...lets say for example sakes..., requires your Data/Wifi to be turned on....or anything like that)
[Greenify] -DM-:
I totally understand and agree with what you're saying and yes by GPS I do mean Google Play Services, but then greenify should show that GPS has been awaken by whatever subservice as it does for other apps and give the option to cut its path, and foremost it should show that subservice present under "running background" in app analyzer at least?!?

I mean that's how other apps behave under greenify...just don't understand why it's not the case with GPS anymore as it was not behaving like this before its update that's all ;)
[Greenify] themadproducer:
[MENTION=3336974]-DM-[/MENTION]

From day one, Greenify was never able to provide the Wake Up culprit for all apps, let alone G.P.S. (at least in my experience) Also, Oasis stated that because of the way that Greenify gets it's information of the wakeup culprit, that it was never to be hailed as 100% accurate. It was/is just a CLUE provider. Sometimes/most times it's spot on. It's also a timing issue.

So on that note, I am guessing, that the service's subservice would not be recognized because it's not the way Greenify was written. The wakeup culprits listed in Greenify are usually APPS not subservices. It would be nice I'm sure, but again, even if it could...it would get very complicated. Imaging trying to support users who were disabling cutoff paths to high number of subservices of services. It would probably get silly....unpredictable etc.

Side note...that's why it is not recommended to hibernated Google Services Framework. It is a chain reaction of dependencies that could/would get messed up. And some things can only be re-initiated by a reboot.
[Greenify] vfrjim:
Running a stock rom on SPH-L710(only rooted) running 4.1.2, this was working perfectly on versions 1.95 and only till I Updated on Monday to 1.97, then google services would not hibernate but going back to 1.95 solved that problem. Too me, its a no-brainer that something changed, but since I am not a programmer, I would not know what.
[Greenify] Pkt_Lnt:
It makes no sense to disable key Google services, as you state. Many should read this from a Google engineer about the Google Services Framework:

http://t.co/IH6z1Qfvov

Those who want to hibernate all system services can solve the battery issue with one of these. :D
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Well, I'm not a programmer either. Wish I could. So it would be nice if Oasis chimed in here. But, I will say it one more time. Try uninstalling it, reboot, reinstall, reboot etc. Yeah never know. I have seen this procedure cure many upgrade issues with many apps. Eliminates one major possibility. :)
[Greenify] -DM-:
Got it...on another note, I know better than to mess with google service framework, never did, never will...;)

I'll play around to see what I can do, too bad that I didn't save a titanium backup of google play services when it updated...oh well, we'll see ;)
[Greenify] jacknicholson:
I wouldn't worry about that. Play Services would've just updated itself again anyway.
[Greenify] -DM-:
Yeah I know, that's why I don't keep previous backups from it, but I would have definitely seen the difference between the before and after update
