The "cut off" is operated on the selected app, not the waker app. The actual command is just a "pm disable <component>", similar to tools like AutoStarts. With the help of "Wake-up Tracker", this operation could thus be made more user-friendly and precise on target.

For example, you can cut off the personalized ads service in Google+ which usually wake it up by 3rd-party apps with Google ads.

But in the other hand, if you cut off something important, bad things may happen. Take Google Play licence service for example, some paid apps wake up Google Play Store with this service for licence verification. If cut off, most of your paid apps may not work any more. You can always select the greenified app, and use "Reattach" in menu to restore it to normal.

[Greenify] andreasy:
I don't know if it can be coincidense because it was always not working woth greenify and working when I uninstalled and the tests were numerous. As soon as I updated to beta it worked again and I tested it several times. I'll test more but it has to have some direct or indirect relation unless it stops working again in a few days.
[Greenify] bso44:
So using your example and hypothetically, let's say you see via the wakeup tracker that Google+ got woken up by Whatsapp. If you enable the scissor feature at that moment, is only the connection to Whatsapp cut off or are all connections that wake up Google+ cut off?
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Note:

To re-ATTACH an app that you have CUTOFF (with the scissors), you need to NOT long press on the app....but instead....a quick fast single click to highlight it, then click the menu button, then you will see the option to re-Attach it. It's the quick single click that will also show the SCISSORS if it's available.

Also, so far in my tests...if I cutoff an app...the WIDGET no longer shows up in my Homescreen list....maybe even the shortcut is gone? This is starting to resemble a FREEZE state?
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Sorry, I have no clues on this issue really... Since Greenify never touch system files, it seems something related to the busybox and kernel is messing up, probably triggered by Greenify.

Could you please de-greenify all greenified apps, and reboot again, to see if it behaves differently?
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
No. But I did change some code routine in donation verification in order to support Amazon Appstore (not available yet).

Could you please try re-installing the donation package from Google Play store?
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Oasis,

Tell me, if this scenario is correct.

Lets say we have an app in our hibernation list named TEST.

- TEST gets woken up by app named APPLE. So we cutoff the path by clicking on TEST and clicking the scissors.

- Later, TEST gets woken by an app named BANANA. So we do the same thing. Now we have a total of 2 cutoff paths for the app TEST.

- Finally, TEST gets woken by an app named CARROT. Once again, we click on the scissors giving us 3 cutoff paths.

Am I correct in assuming that Apple, Banana and Carrot apps will no longer be able to wake up the TEST app? But other apps (eg Date, Endive, Fig) can still wake up the app TEST if they have in the past before this new feature?

Do the apps Apple, Banana and carrot stop working in any way? I know from some tests that their widgets may cease to function or appear in the homescreen?

Lastly, when you cutoff a path, the list auto REFRESHES but when you unAttach it, it does NOT auto refresh. May I suggest you add the auto refresh? cheers
[Greenify] Looki75:
I love the way you presented it! Very clear and funny!

And very valid questions, to which I would like answers too!

How can I use the new feature? I try to do it to GPS but I don't see any icon.

Also what the icon next to tick do?

Thanks. Reinstalling worked. :)
[Greenify] darthaled:
Force close after every cut off, but when I restart the app I find the app regurarly cutted
[Greenify] themadproducer:
In your screen shot, you are on the wrong page. You are on the page where you add an app to the hibernation list. You need to be on the normal page that shows what has already hibernated and is pending hibernation. Then if you have the donate version with wakeup tracker enabled in the experimental options list, thensingle fast clicking on an app may show the scissors icon at the bottom if it's even available for that app. Then read my previous post with the fruit scenario to understand how the new function works. (assuming I understand it correctly)
[Greenify] GermainZ:
I would like to say that even though I don't hibernate any of my apps, the way Greenify shows me background and scheduled apps (and listeners) makes it a nice addition to the apps I use to monitor my battery usage. It's very neat and has allowed me to remove some misbehaving apps I didn't need.
[Greenify] weirdsciencex:
Apologies if this has been asked before but is there somewhere with an explanation of the experimental features?

when greenifying whatsapp,, my phone didnt get notify of new chat..

I have to open whatsapp in order to get new chat..

my friend told me he still get notify although he greenify whatsaap
[Greenify] bogdan1980:
Android Tuner, disable startup items, like msconfig on PC.
[Greenify] robogo1982:
Maybe if he received messages while the screen was on or just after turning screen off while hibernation is still pending.

But when you greenify an app... it's suspended, no notifications of any kind come through.

Besides, what's the use from greenifying Whatsapp? It's not that big of a battery/resource hog.

Facebook, on the other hand... oh my God, my phone and battery life have become totally rejuvenated since this app came along!
[Greenify] haseogu:
do you have a greenify donation ?
[Greenify] Czepek:
I had the donation with xposed framework package and everything was working fine till google play asked to to update greenify now all my appz are hibernated and no notifications are coming along :< Not sure what to doo ? to check previous version and download from somewhere? cuz donation version stopped working...
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Try uninstalling it...Greenify, Xposed module etc., reboot. Testing all your notifications to confirm they work, then reinstalling. It's the only way to know for sure. (don't do a restore re-install ....eg Titanium Backup etc...instead....manually re-install)
[Greenify] khamim:
So it is normal to not get message? but i have enable gcm. I think whatsapp use that method?

Whatsapp take big RAM so i think hibernating it will save some RAM and battery for other app

Yes I do. and i've activate GCM push. do you get notify when hibernate?
[Greenify] haseogu:
Yap, it work for me. I think you need to uninstall the greenify+the donation app. Update the xposed framework if you have the obsolete version and install it again
[Greenify] chrolmesq:
Has anyone else experience Google search app/ Google now stars up again after using greenify manually. I didn't not start the app again, it just keeps saying that it is pending.

Ideas? Comments? Solutions?
[Greenify] haseogu:
Do you enable location services ? Do you turn off the google now ?
[Greenify] chrolmesq:
Location services is on and I use Google now. I thought that greenify was able to override that.
[Greenify] haseogu:
Greenify can't override it.

But i think you can use the cut experimental features, but i'm not sure it will work flawlessly
[Greenify] Czepek:
I did what you told and nothing happen I mean the Donation package stopped working and all my appz are hibernated and GCM wake up dont wake them (any.do, facebook, messanger, whatsup, viber) non of these wake up i see only notification when i wake them manually. Dunno what could happen.. (I changed the kernel and then gone back to previous one - stock) that could make a mess?
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Can you give a more step by step explanation of what you did, in a simple list format. The way you you explained it, makes it difficult to decider where and why things went wrong. Cheers

gcm does not work

I can not receive gcm push from hibernated whatsapp and viber, still don't know how to solve this issuse (I9300 - temasek's kernel, Greenify donation - 1.97 beta, xposed framework installed, greenify module enabled, all experimental features enabled)

And everytime I CUT OFF apps that wakeup facebook, greenify crashes.

Don't know what to do to identify the problems.

[Greenify] Bogeyof:
May be u have the same problem like me. For me, GCMService (u need it for Push notifications, GCM) doesnt start automaticaly at boot. I have to start hangouts manualy after every boot to start the GCMService. U can test it with an APP called "push notifications fixer", there is a function in settings called GTALK Service Monitor. If there is no info about GCMService, it is not started...

Please reply if it helps, cause there was und will be more people with this problem...
[Greenify] sinarale:
Thanks, you pointed me to the right direction. Push Notification Fixer showed that I couldn't connect to google server. Apparently my company firewall blocks connections to mtalk.google.com:5228 (GCMService works fine in my case). I asked the network administrator to allow connections to mtalk and problem solved.

Thank you.

Did u read the last 10 posts? Did u test with Gtalk Service Monitor if ur GCM (GTALK Service) is running?
[Greenify] 84yu4j1:
Yes, I did read the last 10 posts... and No, I never use GCM ( Gtalk Service )..
[Greenify] Bogeyof:
U dont need to use GTALK (Hangouts) but u need the GCMService running for receiving ur messages in Whatsapp, Facebook and many more. That´s why I suggest to check, if this service is running. U can test with an APP "Push notifications fixer" and a function in its menu called GTALK Service monitor.

If there is no connection, u wont receive messages from hibernated apps...
[Greenify] 84yu4j1:
Thanks for the guide.. I check on GTalk Service Monitor.. an it seems My GCM run service just fine. ( not quite sure though. ) :confused:
[Greenify] eswar.eie:
Great app and one suggestion

Hi,

Thanks for a greta app. I purchased the donation version also. It is very innovative. One suggestion. with the present features, apps will go to hibernation only after we lock the phone / tab. So, if we are working for some 30 to 60 min. continuously closing some apps and opening new apps, they will be running in the background and do not go to hibernation (They'll b in pending state). This makes the phone /tab again sluggish. And there will br much battery wasted during this time. I would like to suggest, like an ipad, the greenified (or at least some of them which are selected and possible to) apps should go hibernation, the moment they are left and a new app is opened. This makes the tab really fast even if we are working for extended periods of time, without closing it. This save lot of running battery also.

Looking forward to see more exciting features in future updates.

Regards,

Eshwar
[Greenify] MBariya:
+1.

If possible provide options for hibernate like.

1) hibernate in screen off default time

2) after screen off hibernate at user define time like 5min, 10 min, 15 min, 1 hr.

3) hiberbnate at screen on at user define time.

This way it is very useful for some users like me.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I have updated the FAQ for "Q: Degreenified apps (or greenified apps with donation package) still got no push notification!" Hope it could solve your issue.

For the crash, could you please tell me the (technical component) name of wakeup path as shown at the botton of confirmation dialog?
[Greenify] rignfool:
Either use tasker (or llama) to automagically hibernate when you feel like...

Or use the shortcut (or improperly named widget) to hibernate now
[Greenify] MBariya:
I have already made taker profile for greenified. But by this, taker keeps some wakelock trigger, which is not advisable.

Instead if it is provided with in app, then no need of tasker. so no more wakelock.

Think about this....
[Greenify] rignfool:
Actually

You would wind up with a wake lock from greenify...

If you want no wakelock... Use the shortcut...
[Greenify] MBariya:
Use of shortcut is manual process. I want automation. Come on man it is not easy all time to use shortcuts.

After all it is my opinion and my suggestions to developer.
[Greenify] rignfool:
I am just repeating what the developer has stated many times in the thread
[Greenify] sonwon:
Maybe so, however the purpose of computers is to perform the repeating mundane task for us humans so I see no problem with automation when it makes sense of course. Personally MBariya suggestion sounds like a good idea.
[Greenify] Mad Marty:
If you want automation you will inevitably end up with wakelocks, besides wakelocks while screen is on are not bad, because your device is awake anyway.

I totally understand and agree with oasisfeng's stand on this, no point in making Greenify bloated. Tasker is better in automation efficiently.

for the first time i have 1 problem with greenify.

Does someone have the same issue?

Hi,

Is the Cut-off feature available in the free version of Greenify?

If it's only available in the donate version, then does it require the Xpose module to be installed?

I'm on Miui Rom, so cannot use Xpose, but I wish I could use the new cut-off feature...

[Greenify] darthaled:

[Greenify] oasisfeng:
The cut-off feature currently depends on "Wakeup Tracker" to detect the actual app component to operate on.

I'm planning to graduate some of the experimental features (including Wakeup Tracker) to the free version, thus all of you can enjoy the cut-off feature then.

I searched the thread but too many results to find an answer. Is it possible to buy the donation version without going through the play store?

I would like to buy it but refuse to give google my account info.
[Greenify] mon5trum:
I really don't think there is a way, even if there was in app purchase you still have to give up account info to Google. Just go out and buy a play store gift card for the lowest amount! Don't see why you don't want to input your account info in to the play store, but with a gift card it shouldn't ask for an account.

Oasisfeng would have to have a direct download from external hosting... Which I don't think works for him... IIRC PayPal doesn't play well with where he lives
[Greenify] Texas_Ace:
Well I was more talking about a paypal to the DEV like some other apps do (titanium backup for example).

I have considered the play store gift card but cheapest card I could find is like $25 and both don't need and can't afford. Might just have the bite the bullet though.

Far as why I don't want google to have my account, they already have a SCARY amount of info on everyone, including me. I sure as heck ain't going to just give them more. If they want it they are gonna have to work at it.

Plus they simply have no need to have it. I only purchase the apps that I truly feel would be a worthwhile upgrade from the Free options and to date that is TB, Xprivacy and possibly Greenify.
[Greenify] haseogu:

Luckily my credit card company has something called virtual credit card generator where I use it to generate a random credit card number, assign a dollar limit and expiration date on it, then I use it on my Google Wallet account. Google can only access that limited virtual credit card, not my real credit card or my bank account. I generate bunch of virtual credit cards to use on different online vendors. The charges of course will be charged to my real credit card account but the vendors can only charge up to the dollar limit I put on the virtual card. This should be the standard for all credit card companies.

[Greenify] phositadc:
Quick question. Say I am rooted, and I install this greenify app, then greenify the apps that I want to greenify.

Can I then delete root and still have this app function as intended? Or does it actually obtain superuser permission every time you use and then close a greenified app?

In other words, is root only required to install and set up the app, or is it required every single time you use one of the hibernated apps?

No. If greenified, Amazon Appstore will only be woken when entering experimental settings dialog (as of Google Play Store). Besides that, it will stay hibernated.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Greenify uses root privilege every time it hibernatizes apps. The only exception is "Boost Mode". If this experimental feature is enabled, root privilege is not needed any more.

Hi. I noticed that some apps installed on my device are not listed in Greenify (even under 'Show more'). These are mainly apps pre-installed from my provider. I don't use them at all and they have many wakelocks.

In order to greenify system apps, you'd need to either (attempt to) convert them to user apps or use the experimental features of the donate version.

Greenifying 'Samsung Push Service'?

There are couple of mentions in this thread of greenifying "Samsung Push Services"; however, I could not find any definitive posts if Samsung Galaxy S3 users (or other Samsung devices) are successfully greenifying it with no negative effects.

I am running stock JB 4.1.2 + Googy-Max kernel. I do not use any Samsung apps (ChatOn etc.) and I do not need any push notifications of ROM updates from Sammy.

Any thoughts?

I would be happy to hear if greenifying it has been successful for other users. Thanks.
[Greenify] Texas_Ace:
Not sure about greenifying them but on my Skyrocket I uninstalled them with Titanium backup with no ill effects except for obviously not having those apps anymore. Which like you I never used them anyways. Saves a lot of battery doing this.

So I am gonna guess that greenifiying them would work fine as well when it comes to breaking anything.
