I greenified all system apps and the result is computer cannot recognise my note 3 as MTP and FTP device, so I checked and greenifying MTP and media is the cause
[Greenify] kulguy:
Greenifying all apps is not a good idea. Only Those causing useless wakelocks should be greenified for the best effectiveness.
[Greenify] sordna:
You should only Greenify applications that are running and consuming resources. Apps that behave well (ie shut down cleanly and don't start themselves automaticlly) should not be greenified. Greenifying an ap is an operation, that also takes some cpu cycles to do, don't do it if it's not needed. Also, greenified apps may take longer to start when you launch them. Another issue, if you greenify say a browser or other app and put it in the background (to come back to it later), if it's greenified, it will be killed after the screen turns off. So then you loose the page or activity that app was doing.

The best approach is to look at your battery stats for the highest battery consumers, as well as run Wakelock Detector or Better Battery Stats, to find and greenify those apps with the highest wakelocks. You can also use a task manager to see what apps start themselves automatically, and greenify those you don't want to do this.

Hey! Whatsapp push notifications dont work, when Greenified. This Problem occurs since 2.0 including 2.1 beta. Other Apps using GCM are working fine with Greenify. Maybe my feedback will help, also it has allready been said.

I haven't read all 600 pages. What apps do you greenify?
[Greenify] RogerSC:
I'm sorry to ask this question again, but I'm really hoping for some sort of answer. If apps that I've frozen in Titanium Backup can still be run by the Android OS, that would be interesting information, or whether I should just ignore this as misinformation from greenify app? I've been ignoring it, but these frozen apps have been showing up as "recently running" for a long time now.
[Greenify] sordna:
Do you see them offer a "force stop" option in Settings->Apps ?

Do you see their processes running, either with a task manager, or with the shell 'ps' command?
[Greenify] themadproducer:
@RogerSC

Let me elaborate on sordna's answer.

1) first make sure your frozen apps show as FROZEN in TiB. Lately I have seen the rare occasion when I can't freeze...or can't defrost an app via TiB even though it confirmed it. For testing sakes...you might want to try the free "app quarantine". For me, it sometimes works better than TiB and allows widgets to toggle freeze/defrost for a given app(s).

2) with a Task manager (preferably System Tuner pro or the likes) check to see if the Frozen app is listed as running. (process or service) If you see it here...then it is likely NOT frozen.

3) also, if the app is frozen...then likely you will not see it's launch icon in your app drawer. Confirm this.

4) If after confirming the above 3 steps...you can 100% verify the app(s) is frozen, then ignore it within the Greenify list. Maybe Oasis will comment on this. Also, I have never used the HIDE feature...but I believe you can HIDE the app(s) from the Greenify list. Out of sight...out of mind right?

@lagge78

Here's an example.

When I turn my screen on and unlock it...I have it set to do a SYNC with Google. In other words, I don't use auto sync. Every time this happens, system related process can/will wake. Example is "Google Play Services", "Google Calendar and contact Sync". These apps were woken by Android System and/or sync etc.

This could be the same thing happening with your FB. I don't know as I stopped using FB a long time ago. (and Messenger) So, if you see it as AWAKE in Greenify, the question is..."How long since it woke up and what woke it up". Greenify has the ability to show this to an extent. If indeed it is waking up shortly after you unlock the screen, then I would say, that's expected and normal.

Facebook, is a well know busy background app. It's got many notification like features and it is programmed in a way that is aggressive for this stuff. Many have complained about this app. I'm sure if all notification services were disabled for FB, that it would stay hibernated more consistently. It is a known problem app as far as TAMING IT goes...and potentially Greenify can help. But sometimes, it can't...according to user reports.
[Greenify] RogerSC:
Okay, plan B. I've used TB to uninstall the apps, rebooted, and they haven't popped up again as "Recently Running" yet, so that may have done the trick. Yes, they were frozen and not showing in the "app drawer", that's why I was surprised that they were listed by Greenify. And this is the first time I've seen evidence of apps I've frozen with TB running, so that's something else to watch for. Given how persistent Verizon's "Backup Assistant" seems to be, I'll be watching for it to reappear *smile*.

Thanks.
[Greenify] asdfasdfvful:
I understand that with the last update, Greenify no longer requires root. I recently reinstalled SuperSU, so Greenify has not been given permissions yet, but when I opened it I wasn't prompted. Do rooted users possess any more features, or is this purely non-root now? I've looked in advanced settings and that hasn't prompted anything either
[Greenify] sordna:
Non root mode does not hibernate apps. It just allows you to hit the Greenify shortcut, which brings you to the app force-stop page so you can force-stop the greenified apps manually. It's a best effort solution for non-rooted phones, but much inferior to the rooted behavior of course.
[Greenify] asdfasdfvful:
I can still use the shortcut through gestures, and I can still hibernate system apps like google services. However, greenify doesn't have root permissions (according to SuperSU). I do have it set to grant root during boot, but how on earth is it working now..
[Greenify] sordna:
It's not working as you think. All it's doing is monitor. But it's not hibernating anything if you didn't grant it root access.
[Greenify] asdfasdfvful:
Ah but it's showing that it hibernated. Might I ask how I can give it root request when it isn't prompting me?
[Greenify] tangcla:
Can you grant it access via the SuperSU app?
[Greenify] asdfasdfvful:
how do I do that when I am not prompted? I recently reinstalled SuperSU so I don't have any apps saved. If there is a way I can manually grant that would be great
[Greenify] tangcla:
Try and clear Greenify settings, see if that then triggers a root prompt.
[Greenify] sordna:
If it shows it hibernated, maybe it means the app stopped itself (never started, or you swiped it away from recents). Well behaving apps, stop themselves when you exit them and swipe them away from recents, and they show as "hibernated" even though greenify didn't have to do anything to them. When you freshly reboot your phone, your apps (those that don't start on boot) will show "hibernated" as well.

In any case, to give root access to an app, you need to go to SuperSU and see if it's in the list of apps. If it is, make sure you give it access (# should be green). If it's not in the list, I suggest you go to Settings->Apps, force stop Greenify, clear its cache and data, and start it again, and hopefully it should prompt you for root access.
[Greenify] asdfasdfvful:
Im sure the app is running as I just opened it and tried hibernating. Clearing data didn't work. I'll try reinstalling

It's strange though because I'm sure it worked. I used a gesture and my chat head disappeared and xda had to load again..
[Greenify] :
Have you opened SU and looked if it has already SU granted? Maybe it was saved in a file and kept over reinstall.
[Greenify] asdfasdfvful:
I wish I could save my grants... Have to redo it with every new flash. Reinstalled greenify and I got the prompt, though I do believe greenify was working fine before it
[Greenify] la_malacoda:
Good morning guys! Any tips on why I can't receive push notifications from apps I didn't greenify? :what:

Have a good day! :beer:
[Greenify] MafiaManV:
If you touched google service framework or google play services, it breaks push notifications ;)

I have one question too. I'm trying to reduce android os usage, but tapatalk is killing me. I greenifyed it, disabled notification, disabled it's recievers via xposed module but it's still waking up my phone all the time. Anyone have a solution?
[Greenify] la_malacoda:
but is it normal that the only won't work when on wifi, and if I turn data on they all arrive at once?

plus, how can i reduce play store and play services wakes if not by greenifying them?? :confused:
[Greenify] MafiaManV:
Yeah, when you change connectivity, that wakes the Google play services and you receive notification. To reduce then, disable notification in apps that are not essential to you, or switch to manual sync..
[Greenify] Pkt_Lnt:
Uninstall tapatalk and use the browser. Tapatalk has become a greedy pig in the last couple of updates.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Yup. I paid for Tapatalk 4.x but I stayed with 2.x. It still freezes once in a while, but behaves when greenified and navigation is easier... for my liking.
[Greenify] coolkoushik07:
May be u have enabled boost mode which dont require root due to framework modification.
[Greenify] Saear:
I converted Google play services to a user app and greenified it. It will hibernate if I click on it and hit the Zzz (hibernate button) but does not auto-hibernate. I've tried creating the greenify hibernation shortcut and that will sometimes hibernate google play service and other times it wont (50%, 50%). Any ideas how I can force greenify to hibernate google play services?

I'm running hyperdrive 10.2 on a fully rooted verizon GS4. I have the Xposed with the greenified app and experimental features on (I've also tried them turns off and also uninstalled).
[Greenify] santya95:

[Greenify] asdfasdfvful:

[Greenify] MafiaManV:
Did that for a test, but I'm still getting receivers from it, lol.

From what i read on internet, gcm will still be pushing notifications for some time even if an app is uninstalled. Great -.-'
[Greenify] Gastozz:
Can you please explain me how did you get it working?
[Greenify] Lord_Flaya:
Flashed stock firmware, rooted and installed latest cm11 (20/1/14). Install exposed framework, greenify and donation pack. Selected apps to greenify and that's it. At least that's how I did.

Wrong. You just don't know how to use gcm push.

First uninstall all the apps that you want to use gcm push with. Restart. Install them again only via play store. It'll build gcm link. Now hibernate these apps.

If you're an Xperia user then now you can exclude whatsapp and such apps from stamina mode as they'll not be asking for internet connection continuously. Enjoy!

[Greenify] E--Man:
I have a couple of quick questions that I have not found the answer to here. I also think answers to these questions would remove confusion for many reading this thread:

Regarding Google Services Framework (GSF):

* Is it still possible to Greenify GSF (not GMS) once it is converted to a User App, using the version 1.82 of Greenify free?

* Out of curiousity, why was GSF and other Google products removed from newer versions (v1.82+) of Greenify?

* Is it possible to Greenify GSF with the newer donate versions of Greenify?

* I converted GSF into a User App, but it is not present in the list of apps in Greenify? Why is that and how can I add it to the Greenify list?

Thanks for reading and hopefully answering!
[Greenify] thracemerin:
GSF is required for push notifications as well as other fairly critical operations of your device, greenifying it or changing it to a user app (which changes its ability to perform system level tasks) is an extremely poor idea. If you have a lot of GSF related wakelocks you should investigate which apps are using GSF services and handle it that way, its much much safer.
[Greenify] la_malacoda:
Hey guys! :)

I'm facing problems with whatsapp. I've installed both free and donate version, but I didn't greenify system apps yet.

Still my whatsapp gets messages sometimes only if I enter in it, or sometimes normally. I obviously didn't greenify whatsapp, and I've enabled GCM in greenify donate.

How can I resolve? Wish you a great day! :)
[Greenify] E--Man:
Thanks for the reply, but if a user doesn't use these "critical operations" such as LOCATION SERVICES by waking up my phone every few minutes to find this out, shouldn't that be *my* choice?

I am just exploring the possibility that this extremely useful functionality was removed by the developer to deter Google from removing the app from the Google Play store much like XPrivacy was removed because it was found to "interferes with or accesses another service or product in an unauthorized manner".

Does anyone have answers to these questions please?
[Greenify] Cyclu:
I have the latest stable ver 2.0 + donate 2.3 and these experimental function enabled wakeup tracker and block app state abuse.

Why since this version I see constant su request? I don't want use boost mode I had already the problem with it.

Screenshot attached.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
I can confirm for you, that GSF is not available in the Greenify list with the donation and latest beta version.

It was discussed long ago, that Oasisfeng didn't want to allow GSF hibernating in the first place, but some of us persuaded him to include it, for some past versions. One of the removal reasons is because of users who will inevitably complain about their device not functioning properly after hibernating GSF.

Yup, it should/could be our choice. But I tested hibernating GSF, and it caused issues for me. If I remember correctly, only a reboot resolved it. Whereas hibernating Google Play Services, works well for me. It wakes up an functions when it is called to... only when the screen is unlocked and on. Both GSF and GPS have much responsibilities with the system. Tons of subservices. Hard to know when one of the needed subservices will cause a mysterious issue for an app.

Another workaround you should consider is telling Tasker to Hibernate all apps in the Greenify List when your screen turns off instead of the 1hr thing.

Do you have the donation package and xPosed module? If YES, try uninstalling both, rebooting, and reinstalling, rebooting again and test. Also you should mention your device and rom info.

@Looki75 @oasisfeng

Just to let you know, the Tasker plugin is still working fine on My 4.0.4 ICS TW rom. Tasker is version 4.2u3.

Also, a special request to you Oasisfeng.

Since many of us are beta subscribers and testers for/and with you, is it possible that when you release a new beta version, that you would consider posting a more descriptive summary here in this thread. I have trouble understanding the grammar of the new update summary in the Play Store. Perhaps worded in a "for dummies" fashion so it's super easy to understand. :good:
