Feature Request

2-part feature request...a) Profiles and b) Tasker plugin. This would provide the ability to have certain Apps only hibernated under certain profiles.

Example...using a power-hungry App to track movement via GPS; it would be nice if Google Voice and other Apps were hibernated during this time, then, when back at home/office, those Apps could be released.

Tried the "Push Notification Fixer" app, but it did not solve the issue for me. I wonder if there is something to the notifications coming in only after (or when) the screen has been turned on. I saw another Greenify user report this issue (with all GCM apps) a little earlier in this thread, so maybe there's another issue going on?

Thanks for your input and patience! :)
[Greenify] gaspariperez:
I have the same issue. As soon as I lock my phone I can't get any push notifications. When I turn on the screen, I get all the notifications. With Viber for example, I can't get calls if the screen is off, but it works fine if the screen is on.
[Greenify] rignfool:
............

If you want these programs to work as intended... Don't greenify them...
[Greenify] an0n981:
Viber does not use GCM push for the VOIP connection (it keeps a constant conection to the Viber servers for this), it only uses GCM for messages.
[Greenify] gaspariperez:
How come I can recieve calls with Viber hibernated when the screen is on, but not when it's off? Same with Messenger, I can recieve messages when the screen is on, but not when it's off.
[Greenify] _jis_:
As you can see, this is known bug:

Previous quoted posts are from April 2013, but I have that problem in January and February 2014 and you have the same just two days ago.

What happened to me in January 2014:

I was using Greenify on my Samsung Galaxy Note II with 4.1.2 stock ROM just 4 days. I set Greenify and use it without any problems. I have beta version 2.1 build 3 (donated) with all experimental features enabled, only Greenifying system apps disabled.

What happened:

I just start Greenify, but it started to my surprise as for the first time - with Welcome screen 1-2-3 and when I touch the Plus button - App analyzer shows me many apps which should be hibernated, because I greenified them previously (about 15 selected apps). It seems to me that Greenify forgot part of its setting. Why only part? Because it remember all apps which I selected as hidden. I can still show them all with Show all. I noticed that in menu is missing item for disabling Greenify service.

When it happened to me again in February I have found that file /data/data/com.oasisfeng.greenify/shared_prefs/com.oasisfeng.greenify_preferences.xml get lost. It explained observed behaviour of Greenify, I don't know what is the culprit for losing that preferences file. I was using beta 2.2 build 2 (donated) in the second case.

But it doesn't happened to me again. So I pretend that this bug was silently fixed in the newest beta versions, but probably still not in the regular version which are you using.
[Greenify] StevePritchard:
Thanks for the reply. I think you are right - I'm now using the latest beta, and it remembers the settings just fine.
[Greenify] _jis_:
I have the latest beta version donated with all experimental features enabled and Greenify Xposed module enabled too. I was curious what commands Greenify silently executes in background, so I disabled Xposed Greenify module and after restart I allowed Greenify in SuperSu exactly as I expected, because with disabled Xposed Greenify module Greenify cannot use so called Boost mode. Now I can check in SuperSu log what is Greenify doing as I want. :)

But here is my question: With disabled Greenify Xposed module I expected that all experimental features in Greenify which are dependent on its Xposed module will be unticked automatically. But it is not true. Is this a feature or bug in app logic?
[Greenify] danielo:
Hi,

I'm using Greenify with donation package but I experienced a problem with it. I have Samsung galaxy S2 and with installed Greenify my phone screen blinking while I'm on call and I was thinking that I have faulty proximity sensor... but as soon as I uninstall Greenify everything went back to the normal. When I re-installed it then the problem is back even if I disabled all experimental features and cleared all settings and removed all apps from Greenify. Could anybody check it? Any idea why this happens?

Thanks.
[Greenify] an0n981:
It could be that Viber switched to GCM for VOIP in a recent update of the app (since I don't use Viber, I don't know if this the case, have a look at the active network connections after boot complete without opening Viber to see if it connected to Viber servers to answer this) and you have greenified a google component needed for gcm, or that the app isn't actually greenified when your screen is on (can also be verified by viewing active connections if it still uses its own servers for VOIP), or that there is a problem with GCM wakeup in the Greenify version you are using, but then many others would also have the same problem. But these are all just guesses, since you are the one who has your phone.

hmm is it recommended to Greenify

Google Services Framework

Google Play Services

Google Play Store?

I still need notifications etc... and I have Xposed Framework and the Donate version of Greenify - so I have checked all experimental features

4.4.2 KitKat Note3
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Google Services Framework...NO

Usually will cause some issues...because it has central to many sub-services

Google Play Services...MAYBE...I greenify but I don't really on any play service features when the screen is off.

Google Play Store?...YES

These are SAFE answers...not the only correct answers.

hi, [MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION] unfortunatly I must say that I'm experiencing UI lags on Nexus 5 with greenify... I have seen that some people were already reporting that but there is no change. Is there some incompatibility with Kit Kat? I tried many roms and I didn't know why my phone is laging but after a while of testing I figured out its because of greenify...:( This app really extends bettery life but for me it's unusable because of this lags. Mostly they appear with system animations especially opening recent apps or pressing home button. It can be seen the best on nav bar glowing. If it's possible please fix it. I have donated version but I can't use it... Fortunately for all it's working properly on on my girfriends Xperia Z1 so she can use it thought.

If you could look at this closer I would be grateful. I can provide some testing or logs or anything what is needed, just please tell me what can help you with fixing;)

Regards
[Greenify] yaab22:
I second that. From UX point of view, action that don't require confirmation should have a path to undo. So unhide all / unhide selected are good options. Personal experience - I used the hide button simply because I wasn't sure what was it (yes, I probably skipped some parts in the app introduction :) ).

I would also chance the V in the app selector to the same Zzz icon. Simply because recent Android UI uses V to exit from multiple-selection mode, and it's not clear that this would greenify selected apps (again - no confirmation is provided).

And thanks, Greenify is a great tool!
[Greenify] :
Actually feels like I'm doing something to help my phone! Great app. Could do better in UI, the + button isn't clearly explained, the i button for information is not exactly in the middle of the view.

With long press on every icon on Action Bar you will get short explanation in toast message what it is for. The same works in every app on Android ;)

Just updated to version 2.2 from the play store. My question is why is it asking me to force stop everytime I hibernate an app? Even if I automate the hibernation, the window pops up the disappears. I am rooted on 4.2

Update : after 15 minutes it asked for root permission. Not sure why the delay, but it's back to working normally. Thank you and keep up the great work.

With the spinner spinning for ever?

[Greenify] _jis_:
But isn't it misleading? Because when the checkbox is checked on for e.g. Boost mode how can one guess that in the reality the feature Boost mode is off? I hope you understand me what I mean.

They aren't greyed out now when it should be.
[Greenify] dimm0k:
[MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION] indeed that's exactly what happened! if I'm correct, the spinning thing was an attempt to gather info on the apps? First run of Greenify obtained a complete list where I saw the number of runs and wakes for apps. Later Greenify no longer showed that information and the spinner kept spinning! Any idea how to avoid this in the meantime?

EDIT: seems like the more I open up Greenify to the App Analyzer screen it triggers this infinitely spinning spinner... after a few more times nothing gets listed anymore until you close out of Greenify and start it again. Unfortunately however the spinning spinner still happens until a reboot.
[Greenify] rmntruexjr:
I love this app and use the free version on every phone..I have recommended it often.....

So I decided to donate....

I had not installed greenify on my I9100 yet.

I bought the donate version from the play store and installed it.

Then I installed the greenify app itself and loaded it just allowing su permission, then closed the app. I set nothing else. I got the activation notification for exposed so I made sure it was checked and rebooted.

That phone was on a 4.4 aosp ROM using nova launcher.

When it rebooted I got several force close errors for media,download manager, playstore and so on. My nova launcher was reset to default...I rechecked and nothing was set in the app yet..and no experimental in xposed.

I went back to the play store (on another phone), and the first review in the list was another person with the same issue..oooops. I didn't see a warning about this in the description and never would have guessed that donating would ultimately bork my phone.

I'm sure since the comment I saw on the play store, this is known. I just trusted this app enough and never had issues before so I didn't do any research.
[Greenify] 1300l:
I have a question, i use it with the donation pack as well the xposed module.

What is the advantage in greenify the phone calls and messages when enable the option of it to auto wake when i get a message or a phonecall?

Also if that option is enable the alarm will work if i greenify? Or it dont count as essential phone functions?
[Greenify] zibiksior:
Here you can see that someone was reporting that;) I will try to identify what is cousing those lags and I will report back. I already tried clean install of few roms and after installing xposed framework and greenify lags shows up immediatly...

i constantly examine the autostarts entries using for example ROM Toolbox or Android Tuner and disable those that i don't use or need all the time, and if i try out a game and it has "this app requires no special permission to run", i would more likely buy it!

thank you!! :)

Lol I checked greenify has no widget update.

But yes, we do need the possibility of greenifying system apps since the apps itself ask root it is definitely possible. Why did you restrict that access?

Intact, most system apps are running in the background by itself more than user apps

[Greenify] rignfool:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT* v1.6 (Updated on Mar.23)

Yup
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I understand your appeal. But root does not mean the app is viable to do anything it wants. Even in theory, I can modify the ROM to change any behavior of Android system on your device with root privilege, but then I had to deal with the uncertainty and complexity of different device models and ROM customization. It effectively put your device into high risk to be bricked, and restrict Greenify to only capable on a few devices & ROMs.

I spent much more time than you might think of on the possible solutions, but yet to find a viable one. I am planning to try some early experimental solution on donation version first, just to avoid ruining the usability of rookie users. And I think you donators are more rational and lenient on experimental features.
[Greenify] bobdoblo:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT* v1.6 (Updated on Mar.23)

Am i right in thinking that we need Tasker now to take advantage of this?

[Greenify] ron_gangte:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT* v1.6 (Updated on Mar.23)

No, you think wrong. Tasker is optional. In case you want to schedule hibernation for certain events or at a certain time, you can use the Tasker Plugin of this app.
[Greenify] mettleh3d:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT* v1.6 (Updated on Mar.23)

By xda logic greenify should include one ultimate feature for total battery conservation. POWER OFF DEVICE.
[Greenify] bobdoblo:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT* v1.6 (Updated on Mar.23)

I know its optional mate:)

But you need it to use that feature of setting profiles/schedules.

I don't like apps like that as most are battery drainers and my god its complicated:eek::D

I know, I know "don't use it then".

I just wish there was a simpler way.

What about having a delay on reboot of 30mins so all apps have time to get up to date and do their stuff?

Or disable when plugged in to charger?

Its no big deal so don't take it as i'm moaning because i'm not.

Greenify is app of the year for me:thumbup:

[Greenify] eejee:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT* v1.6 (Updated on Mar.23)

I've been using Tasker for ages and it really doesn't drain the battery. Besides, one of the great things of Tasker is that you can set rules which conserve battery, for instance by turning off wifi when you are not at home or at night. And yes, it is a bit complicated, but if you start by watching some YouTube clips about Tasker, you'll get the hang of it really quick.

[Greenify] themadproducer:
Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT* v1.6 (Updated on Mar.23)

Disable while charging is a sensible option. If it was my app, I would definitely include that as well as a manual pause on demand.

Once again, perhaps oasisfeng could add the pause feature to the Tasker plug in so that you could pause all hibernation at certain events. (while charging, on demand as a shortcut, scheduled etc.)

bobdoblo, trust me, Tasker is one of the coolest apps ever. It allows a resourceful user, with little or no programming skills, to pretend to be able to program and get effective results. It helps you express ideas that the Os or Apps may be lacking, or in this case, it enhances app features. Under most circumstances, there is negligible drain. It comes in handy at times as a workaround until apps are updated with new features. Your rooted and experimenting with XDA apps, consider going the extra mile, and start familiarizing yourself with Tasker. Once you get the general flow, it's quite straight forward.

None of these 'wake' with the Wake Action. If none of the apps id above fit this category, please provide an example app that can be woke up via the Wake Action after it's been hibernated.

Greenify (Donation Package)

Hi! I have Greenify (Donation Package).

I update to the last version of free Greenify. (Also update Exposed to the latest version)

The previous version of Greenify was run more rapid...

This version works well, but it lates 3 to 4 times to open the Greenify application compare to the previous version... The same happened and with manual hibernation (except when done hibernation from the shortcut.)

I think you must optimize this app at the next version. It isn't slow, but it isn't as fast as before. Thank you!! (Samsung Galaxy S Advance JB 4.1.2)
