its for non root devices(what I understood),check beta channel for more info

---------- Post added at 11:27 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:14 AM ----------

Feedback for build 2 v2.1

firstly,the app didn't guide me to acc settings,I had to go and check myself...

Secondly,the app still dnt auto hibernate,I have to go in the app,click sleep to put them to hibernation,tho I dnt have to click on force stop now...

hibernation shortcut is little buggy atm,from the start actually,It always hibernate single app at one time,I have to go back,click again to hibernate next app,clicks are directly propotional to no. of apps pending hibernation..

and well,my previous question still exists -

---------- Post added at 11:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:27 AM ----------

And greenify force closes when I use hibernation shortcut,anyone else experiencing same prob?
[Greenify] TheBashar:
How do you know that to be true? What about hibernating a system app cannot be accomplished with root access in a standard way? Perhaps some of the "experimental features" enabled by Xposed would require jumping through such hoops. But just to be able to hibernate system apps is that much more complicated and different across ROMs?
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Try deactivating all the experimental features, reboot, and enable them one by one, to test which one caused the issue. Please let me know about that.

Guys If I greenify a weather app, will it stop updating like it should?

Sent from Note 3 (The beauty & beast)
[Greenify] themadproducer:
I would assume YES...it will stop working.

Anything you hibernated is like killing it in task manager but STAYING killed.

Some apps get woken by other services or apps and some are able to get GCM thing if it's gcm ready and the settings are correctly set in Greenify etc.

But 99.9% of apps cannot wake themselves or wake up to do it's primary action...when it's hibernated. Plain and simple. Cheers
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
If enabled, when you try to hibernate apps (either in Greenify, or via the shortcut), it automates the whole procedure, without having to click the "Force stop" button and confirm many times.﻿

Why are facebook and facebook messenger always in the waiting list rather than the greenify-ed list?

My screen was off now and I just received a message on facebook messenger, even thought I added both with greenify...
[Greenify] coolkoushik07:
So now we dont need rooted device to use auto hibernate?
[Greenify] thracemerin:
It would still require modifications to the framework for each ROM to allow support without Xposed.

Any performance improvement you perceive using ART is placebo anyway.
[Greenify] :
Thanks for replying to me. I nailed it down to the system apps option. I noticed I greenified Google Search. So I guess on the new KK launcher Search runs all the time because its to the very left and this stupid search box on the top.

I degreenified it and now I enabled all options and don't have any other problems. Thank you for pointing it out for me. Can I greenify Google Search in other way? It's quite wakelock heavy.
[Greenify] sordna:
am force-stop {packagename} works on some system apps. I do it for Chrome, news & weather.

I too would like oasisfeng to add this support so I won't have to do this with scripts anymore.

He has been reluctant to do it because it won't work properly for all system apps, but still I think it would be better than nothing for ART users. It can be a donation feature. I'll buy the donation app as soon as he adds this!
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Unless installing another launcher, I'm afraid you cannot get Google Search rest in hibernation.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Please approve all your translations (as translation validator), then I can ship them with the next beta.

So everytime you launch a hibernated app, you have to manually hibernate it again?

Sent from Note 3 (The beauty & beast)
[Greenify] :
No, if you activated auto hibernation Greenify will do it for you. Press the menu button in navigation bar and choose the first list entry.
[Greenify] Lord_Flaya:
I have auto hibernation activated, but it does not hibernate my apps. I still have to press the widget. :(
[Greenify] themadproducer:
[MENTION=643771]CodeMaster[/MENTION]

Sounds like a job for App Quarantine. Freeze the bugger and create a widget to Toggle/run it on and off. Less elegant than Greenify, but potentially more effective in this rare case.
[Greenify] thracemerin:
You understand that we're talking about stopping an app and keeping it stopped, if autostarts, disable services or root enabled task killers did this properly you would use them instead of using greenify so clearly they do not do what you want. You can assume this is my opinion if you like, but the fact is that the reason Xposed is used is because there are modifications required to the system framework to accomplish what greenify does and without adding these directly to the code the only way to do it is to hook the methods as Xposed does, I realize that you don't like that response but it's the only one there is.
[Greenify] TheBashar:
And, not or. I did use them. One big reason I use greenify instead now is having those three functions all in one convenient package. I also use it for some of the fancier features, but the question asked was specifically just about basic greenification of system apps.
[Greenify] thracemerin:
And I answered your question, the fact you don't like my response doesn't make it less right.

Edit: Don't you think if it were easily possible that oasisfeng would have done it? Why would he force the installation of Xposed?

Became a tester and the beta 2 version for non-root mode works just nice :D ! However, some apps are not hibernating as they should, for example the facebook app. It tends to restart every time as soon as it is hibernated, this is annoying :( , hate the facebook app. Also, themer, wechat and clean master are not auto-hibernating as well, they are marked as "Perceptible", can I know what does this mean? Is there any workaround for these apps, especially facebook? Will auto-hibernating for system apps comes to non-root mode? Maybe in the future? Thank you so much for this awesome app!

Greenify recently running apps list?

I've noticed that one app in particular, "Backup Assistant Plus" is listed in "Recently Running" apps list in Greenify. Now I know that this app has been frozen using Titanium Backup, and there have been reboots since I froze it. There are a couple of other frozen apps that also appear in the "Recently Running" app list.

Is there an explanation for this? How could these apps have been recently running if they are frozen in Titanium Backup? They also don't appear in the list of cached processes in the "Application Manager" in settings. This makes no sense to me, I'm really curious what's going on here.

Thanks.

Re: [APP][3.1+] Greenify *ROOT*

Oh, I get it. And, yeah. I had a Facebook.apk on system folder and an updated app on data. I used System Cleanup to move to data app, but the app sill says it is a system app.
[Greenify] chris_j11:
+1 for this app

if it's possible (or make sense) to put an option to:

UN-hibernate all the hibernated apps once every x-time so that it can push out notification or update itself or whatever else any app does while running in the background

I don't think this will affect the battery/memory to much since all the apps will be out of hibernation for a limited x-time every x-time

Maybe better to also un-hibernate 5 apps at a time to reduce loads

i haven't play with alot of apps, but what do u think of this option
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Sorry, ranova. I think this is far beyond the design goal of Greenify and too complicate for most users. I want to keep it simple and sufficient without adding more and more memory pressure to the cleaner service of Greenify.

In your scene, you may try another 3rd party email client app. Trust me, they just work as well as the stock one.
[Greenify] Adauth:
Loving this!

Nice work!
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Can you make sure that no .apk with a name containing facebook still in /system/app? I tested completely convert a system app to user app with Titanium Backup, then Greenify it without problem.
[Greenify] udz2002:
FYI, you may need to reboot after converting the app. I had to convert Google Talk from a system to a user app, reboot, then Greenify saw it as a user app.
[Greenify] forestchen:
If this feature will not available in Greenify, would you consider letting other app(s) to interact with Greenify and do that job? Fox example you can make a plugin for Tasker or something like that to let Tasker take care the scheduled hibernate and de-hibernate routine. I think Tasker users can handle this "complexity".
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
That's not the purpose of developing Greenify. Greenify is about promoting the correct app design and implementation for device experience, but not adding much more complexity to app development. (See my story of "Why I developed Greenify" in 3rd floor)

If you trust Tasker to behave well in battery consumption and device experience, don't feed it into Greenify. I'd like to say, I trust Tasker. :)
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
We should promote apps with GCM (Google Cloud Messaging) -style push. That's much much better for device experience than every app establishing a background long connection (with permanent service), or even worse, pseudo-push of periodic pulling.

So, I'm working on a solution to enable GCM for greenified apps. But so far it is extremely hard to achieve this goal. Thus I can hardly promise ETA or anything about this.
[Greenify] forestchen:
Oh, there is a misunderstand here.

I don't want to feed Tasker to Greenify. I want to use Tasker to schedule an hibernation. for example i will never use IM app when i sleep, so i would like to hibernate it at night and de-hibernate at morning like Ranova said. and you mentioned the schedule feature will not avaible in Greenify, So I think it will come in handy if Tasker can control Greeniy to hibernate/de-hibernate app and Greenify will remain simple and dedicated.

Tasker can control other app by plugin, So i wonder if it's possible to make a plugin for Tasker.

Thanks for the great App, by the way.

TitanumBackup do convert it correctly.

[Greenify] kensomanpow:
Great app, i hibernated Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp, although Facebook always comes to the surface which is why i just deleted it. For the future, it would be nice if you could hibernate a keyboard, i don't know why they have to always run... Great app!!
[Greenify] redguardsoldier:
Why do you need to hibernate the keyboard :confused:? Doing that just make your phone worse than ever :rolleyes:. The reason for the service/cache exists is to launch apps faster from memory instead of from storage. The launch of an app from RAM costs less CPU and battery than from storage, it's much much faster, beside that.

I think only poorly-coded apps should be hibernated. Whatsapp is coded quite well, it knows how to behave itself.

Some apps like Facebook runs stupid services all the time. Viber tend to have memory leak, use up to 60+ MB. Even Google Maps have some stupid, useless services running, cost no CPU, but precious RAM.

[Greenify] themadproducer:
Google Maps and Play/Service

First things first...3 cheers for oasisfeng and this very clever and simple app. Instantly, it is in my top 5 of all time. :good::good::good:

Using ICS, I converted Google Maps and Play/Service to User Apps via Titanium Backup successfully. But like a few have mentioned here, when Google Play updates or downloads a new app, it goes black and crashes. I tried variations with no success. App Quarantine on the other hand, will freeze it via a widget....as a workaround. I am not 100% sure if Google Play causes much drain in standby but it LOVES to stay active in ram.

After converting Maps with TiB, you will need to then restore DATA for Maps via your TiB backup otherwise your settings and history will be gone. Probably the same with other converted system apps.

I also successfully hibernated Google Search but not Google+.

My first raw test last night, 7 hrs in standby on my S3, with LOCATION enabled (use wireless networks) and Green Power switching off my data/wifi, I scored .3% per hour drain. (down from .5% - 1% per hour without Greenify) Pretty darn good so far. My long experience in android has shown that Google apps...especially LOCATION triggering apps/settings, can cause significant standby drains...especially when your trying to get it refined. (not including push/notifications/autoupdates/wakelock issues etc)

I am not Greenifying all my apps. That is unnecessary. Just the known BAD apps especially MAPS and Google stuff...or apps that I rarely use and when I do, I only use them once. (Facebook if I had it) Groupon seems to go into hibernate no problem....and that is a definite known offender. For those with less knowledge, keep in mind that if you Greenify your regularly used apps, you will lose resume-ability (some call it multitasking) between screen off/standby and when you try to start the said app again. I leave the rest to the OS ram management which works fine on my 2gb ram S3.
[Greenify] The LPT:
So far Im loving the app.

I've noticed that when I try to greenify google search, after converting it to a user app, it breaks the voice command functionality. I can still do searches, but when I try to set my alarm or send a text message it causes an FC.

Using an i747M (NA Galaxy S3)

Keep up the good work!
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Maybe there's hope. Because, it's working fine on mine.

Specifically, when I do a voice search v3.0.1, with the Pulsing Red Circle, I say "send text, John Smith, How are you", it registers fine and I get the white box with thick black borders...confirming everything and ready to send. I press send and it works. (I use Handcent sms) (side note...this version is the only one that works well for getting contact names correct)

Greenify Receives Major Update to Work on Non-Rooted Devices

[Greenify] Scalee:
Sorry, if this has been asked before. But i couldn't find my question.

If you used the donated version, And enable GCM push message.

Could one simply greenify every user application?

The way i understand greenify works is that applications not on the foreground will be frozen.

So if push message are allowed to wake applications and foreground apps are allowed to run,

Greenifying every application won't change the experience of the device.

Thanks!
[Greenify] themadproducer:
[MENTION=1974830]Scalee[/MENTION]

GCM

Any app that uses GCM for alerts etc., "SHOULD" be woken from hibernation (or their alerts etc)...but there have been varying reports of this "NOT" working. It's rom, device and even app version specific. So you will have to do your own experimenting with this. Not all apps have GCM.

Greenify hibernates apps in the Greenify list (not to be confused with FREEZING) and it "SHOULD" leave the foreground app alone.

Greenifying every app... imho...will/could definitely DEGRADE the device experience. It will defeat the purpose of keeping apps ready in RAM memory. This will slow down your user experience...especially on less powerful devices. Your apps will have to load from scratch each and every time. Example...Dialer or contacts or SMS.... or apps that need to always be running like Tasker or Widget Locker etc... benefit from staying ready in ram.

Only Greenify an app that you rarely use or one that seems to misbehave and drain battery when not in use. OR...bloatware that loads at boot.

Read this Post for other details.

Aah so the processes get killed, that's not actually how i thought greenify worked.

I'm using the latest beta 2 on my stock note 3 unrooted. When I press the hibernate now link on my start screen I still have to force close the app every time. What can I do to be able to use the new service that should be able to take care of that?

Another question, I like to greenify the Facebook app, I like it to be active only when I like it to be. But if I hibernate it and start the phone a while later, it is awake again. Isn't it possible to hibernate that app unrooted or does it perhaps wake up when I turn on the screen?
