I've had this problem recently, too. Not for Greenify, but other random apps. The fix that finally worked for me is to uninstall the app that won't update, then delete all leftover files from /data/app-lib/BORKED-APP, then you should be able to reinstall the app, all as explained in the first post of this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2443267﻿

Good luck! :o

hi,

I cannot hibernate [APP]install Google Maps 6 and 7 and use them together[Root/NoRoot]

When it hibernated, navigation stops working.

pls, fix it.

I need navigation only when screen is on.

p.s. Google your new google map app is piece of garbage. Return normal interface as an option!
[Greenify] sordna:
Oasisfeng can you show and allow hibernating system apps in nonrooted mode? Since we can force stop stuff like YouTube and any other system app on nonrooted phones with the android app settings force stop button anyway?
[Greenify] popthosegaskets:
You can't touch system apps if you have no root.

[Greenify] sordna:
You are wrong my friend. Please try nonrooted mode of Greenify, the mode in which it launches android app settings and hits the actual "Force Stop" button, which works on unrooted phones and utililizes the accessibility service.

Let Oasisfeng respond please.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
No, system apps cannot really hibernate due to special privilege granted to system apps. That's why we need a Xposed module to "fix" it.

You can still "Force-stop" them, but you might find them re-run again without explicit launch.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
v2.2 build 3

Build 3 is mainly a bugfix version.

New text indication for "state-always-ignored" app, and menu entry to revert this setting.

Fixed broken GCM wakeup on some devices.

Support 3rd-party variants of Xposed framework. (e.g. WSM for MIUI)

Hi Oasisfeng,

Feature proposal. It would be great if you consider implementing timer for already hibernated apps - similar to existing one for woken apps. For example, under hibernated app there could be info "hibernated for 03:45:00". I have feeling that could be easy. More complex variant of feature would be info how an app is hibernated ("hibernated manualy/automatically...").

This could be very useful in detecting friendly apps - many of users are not sure for certain apps if there is need for hibernating them or not. Therfore, for apps with long hibernation time it would be clear that they belong to friendly apps.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
App keeps in hibernation doesn't mean it is battery-friendly if not greenified. That's the most common case for top greenified apps.

WakeLockDetector is a good choice for detecting battery hogger.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Anyone experiencing the infamous TalkBack issue (device keeps talking even if TackBack is disabled) when the accessibility of Greenify is activated? Most reported by Samsung users.

If so, please try Greenifying TalkBack app and let me know whether it solves the issue.
[Greenify] sordna:
If I go to settings, apps, YouYube, I can Force Stop it, no? Android allows me to force stop any system app with that button. Yes it may run again later, but I CAN kill the particular process. So, can you please consider this? Even non system apps wake up sometimes due to GCM and such events.

So as long as there is a warning about this feature it would be great to have this option.

Can you please consider to make it an selectable option to show system apps?

Same request applies to rooted mode without xposed, "am force-stop" works, and yes they usually wake up later but I'm ok with that.
[Greenify] naresh babu:

[Greenify] popthosegaskets:

[Greenify] sordna:
Can you please stop replying to my posts? I'm not a noob. I have both rooted and unrooted phones and I know about these options. I have even found and helped fix a bug in the RootTools source code, the library that almost all rooted apps are utilizing.

So I know what I'm talking about, and trying to have a discussion with Oasisfeng as engineer to engineer, and you are interfering as if you are dealing with a noob.

I am making a request for a subtle change to Oasisfeng exactly *because I fully know* of the current options.

Also, what you mentioned earlier about "basic android knowledge" and "you cannot touch system apps without root" is misleading at best.

While you cannot uninstall system apps without root, you can do several things with them:

1. Launch them.

2. Kill them using the Force Stop button. Just launch your system browser, or your system youtube app, load some content, then go to Settings, Apps, All, find that system app, hit Force Stop. If you go back to that system app you will see it got killed and will have to reload the content, or start from the start page again. You can confirm with a task manager that indeed you kill that process.

3. Clear their data. You can clear both cache and data on system apps.

4. Disable. You can disable a system app so it won't run and won't even show in the app drawer.

5. Uninstall their updates. So if your maps or keyboard got updated and you don't like the new version, you can go back to the version that initially came with your ROM.

As you can see, there is a ton of things you can do to system apps without root.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Greenify does not mean to be a task killer. Unlike installed app, force stopping a system app is more or less like just killing it.

So, in short, Greenify will not have such an option, except for the experimental feature via Xposed module.
[Greenify] sordna:
Some system apps do not restart. At least not until an important event happens for some. So I can force stop system apps and some of them (not all) don't run for hours. So it's a hibernating effect. The stock android weather widget is a good example. After I force stop it, it stays dead until I actually touch the widget again.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
You are right, but it's still largely different than installed apps, and this difference is hard to understand by non-super users, thus may produce significant misunderstanding (and complaints) in Greenify. Probably that's not a good idea.
[Greenify] sordna:
Thanks. I understand. For now I'm using automated shell scripts to "am force-stop" things like the weather widget. I'm rooted but don't want to install Xposed, and especially with ART coming along, you may want to consider this as a highly experimental option in the donation version. With user warning of course. Maybe in the future :)
[Greenify] leonardoroza:

I like your idea. I am also on ART and missing those great experimental features of donation version.

[Greenify] Yed23:
I can't seem to find the answer to my problem anywhere. I searched through the forums and all over Google.

I'm running KitKat on a Nexus 5.

I have SuperSU set to grant Greenify permissions.

Apps stay in "Pending" on Greenify, they will only hibernate manually.

This isn't a specific app; any app I open and then idle/close stays pending in Greenify.

When I manually hibernate them, it works immediately.

Any ideas?

Facebook Messenger: Wakes up, but notifications not working.

Having trouble with Facebook Messenger notifications. Running version 2.2 build 3 of Greenify on stock rooted LG G2 (4.2.2). Xposed is installed with the Greenify module enabled, and the proper experimental features enabled in Greenify as well. It seems Messenger will wake up when it receives the GCM push (goes from being hibernated to pending within the Greenify app), but not getting notifications that a message has been delivered. Subsequent messages give notifications (once Messenger has been woken up), so it seems the issue is with the initial wake up. Any tips or tricks to getting this to work properly? Is this a Greenify issue or a Messenger issue...?

Thanks for the help.

[Greenify] Nic2215:
I would remove Samsung account and and Samsung push service (leave it if you are using Samsung apps like chat on if not remove it. I would also remove remote control, in normal circumstances u don't need it. Software update and back up also can be removed. We have got odin or even better mobile odin, waiting for ota is just sick for s3 lol. Bloats
[Greenify] rpgdev:
Is it safe to just uninstall this even after enabling it to work with root? I ask because with the Xpose framework you can't just uninstall it without disabling the modules you had enabled.

I want to clarify that I don't use xpose framework and haven't used it in conjunction with this app I mention it just as a reference.
[Greenify] sordna:
Why delete? That can break OTA updates. Since android 4.0 you can disable system apps which makes them never run and removes their icons from the app drawer. Stock android feature, you don't even need root for that.

Help with GCM push

is anyone lately having problems with GCM push service?

earlier it was working fine for all apps. but suddenly it has stopped working. Although i installed hootsuite from my friend's mobile. I mean didn't install it via play store. I don't use gcm for that btw but i think after that only i lost gcm. I'm confused. can anyone please help me to resolve it. Please!
[Greenify] jacknicholson:
Try forcing a push (eg. send yourself an email) with a non-Greenified app with GCM, or temporarily de-greenify one. If you're still not receiving notifications, it's possible you've lost connection with Google's servers and can try toggling airplane mode on and off. If you do receive notifications, however, perhaps try reinstalling the problematic apps.
[Greenify] ndnesh:
Hey guys not sure if this has been answered or not earlier. I did search the forum but couldn't find any hits.

My question is is we Greenify apps, what happens to those app's links to the play store? I mean will the app get updated when a new version comes out? Will it be shown on the play store or do we have to remove the app from hibernation?
[Greenify] Dr.69:
Greenify doesn't affect your apps in regard to the playstore, in any way. They will be available and will be updated.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Fair question.

App updates will definitely show up at Play Store normally even when said apps are hibernated. No worries.

I'm not sure if I've greenified something I shouldn't have, but I noticed that SwiftKey is very laggy to bring up predictions in those three spots above the keyboard. Has anyone else experienced something similar, or is this just a SwiftKey bug?

And before you ask - no I haven't got Swiftkey greenified. :)
[Greenify] themadproducer:
No problem here with Greenify and SwiftKey.
[Greenify] denzel09:

[Greenify] Vtrendzzy:
Hey thanks for your reply but my problem is resolved now. I installed greenify first. Checked all the experimental features in it. Then i installed whatsapp from play store. It works fine now.

I think if i install any other app which supports gcm manually then i'll lose gcm for other apps too.

Anyone correct me if i'm wrong.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
What's the detailed issue? The notification got removed upon app hibernation?
[Greenify] oasisfeng:

[Greenify] elenhil:
The list of apps that I can wake up via automation tools does not cover the whole spectrum of hibernation-capable apps. It's a pity I can make an app hibernate through Tasker but not wake it back up.
[Greenify] WarER4X:
Gets stuck at install

I'm having the same problem, running CM11 (with ART, not Dalvik) on a VZW Galaxy S3. I have tried force closing the Play Store and clearing data, but still no luck. Greenify will show up on my installed apps, but doesn't actually finish the installation and doesn't run. I also tried installing it directly via the .apk download and it does the same thing. By chance, is Greenify not compatible with ART or CM11 or something?

Thanks,

[Greenify] ayoubij:
Why does greenify have in accessibility service exactly?

It said to automate the manual hibernation but i thought it was automatic from the statt?!?!?
[Greenify] eushaun99:
Its for unrooted phones. Since non-rooted phones can't auto hibernate, oasisfeng used the accessibility service to automate the manual hibernation process.
[Greenify] WarER4X:
I just switched back over to Dalvik and Greenify installed OK. So, I guess it just doesn't like ART.

-SR-
[Greenify] ayoubij:
So.if im rooted i gain nothing turning it on?
[Greenify] eushaun99:
Yup.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
It's for non-rooted user only.

I will remove it for rooted user for disambiguation in the future version.

Greenify killed my tablet!

I installed the donate version then did the Xposed installer and rebooted like I was instructed. The tablet rebooted successfully then the screen went black and the tablet wouldn't start.

Try the xposed disabler it should already be on your /sdcard, if not, it's in the xposed threads OP. If that don't work, dirty flash your ROMs system from the nandroid backups you (should have) made.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
[MENTION=2973528]swidm[/MENTION]

You installed the "Xposed Installer" AFTER installing Greenify.

You probably should have installed it FIRST before installing Greenify.

Can you get to recovery?

You need to install the "Xposed Disabler". I mean, if you read the OP for the installer, it warns about boot problems and to use the disabler if you run into problems. If you can get the disabler onto your device via USB cable in download or recovery mode, then you can install it and you should be able to boot up again. Here is a download link to the APK.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
I have tested Greenify on my Nexus 7 (2012) with CM11 / ART runtime, for every release.

Only a few users reported the similar issue on ART, I'm not sure which part went wrong. :confused:

Currently not all apps support wake-up.

It's not a pity since back awhile you can even wake up no apps via Tasker.

[MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION]

I try to hibernate those apps: ( I have donate version, with xposed framework and all)

1. ContextProvider

2. CSC (com.android.phone)

3. SmartcardService (remote)

4. com.sec.android.providers.downloads

But when I do, it tells me they are ingreenifiable. And it asks me if I want to insist (because it is not safe)

I want to ask, are these safe to hibernate? They are always running in background, but I don't know what is their function or purpose.

Another question for the users, since I recently bought greenify, what system apps do you usually greenify, that is considered safe to do so?

Also third question is in experimental features, when I click

"Keep Notifications"

"GCM push for greenified apps"

But when I greenify these apps:

a. Whatsapp

b. BBM

c. Viber

d. Tango

e. Snapchat

f. Twitter

g. Facebook and Messenger

I'm not getting always the notifications, until I open the app manually. Sometimes it works, for example whatsapp is hibernated and I receive a message and it shows a notification, and sometimes it doesn't show anything, until I manually enter and then it 'connects' and fetches all my messages. So what can be done in this case?

Also, do I need to tick "Telelphony Wakeup" if im using stock phone and sms, and they are not hibernated?

and the 'Block app state abuse" shouldn't be ticked if I am on Android 4.3 ?

I am currently using custom rom Sammy 4.3 on my i9300.

Lastly, just wanted to ask about the raise your voice program. It doesn't seem to click, where I can enable or disable it.

A small suggestion for the app: if you can separate the system apps, from the normal apps, I mean each have a different category or section, would just make it easier for us to see directly the system apps we have greenified.

Thank you for bearing with me, and I hope you can help me with my questions.

Thanks. :good:

Would greenify still work with system apps after uninstalling xposed framework?
[Greenify] SpiderWolf:
Is it okay to greenify google play services?
[Greenify] popthosegaskets:
As long as it's a donation feature, you will need Xposed framework for it. So just suck it up and stick with DEX if you want to hibernate system apps.

If you had bothered to use the search button or read the previous posts, the answer is no.

I have a really big problem.

My apps don't degreenify. Even when I UNINSTALL greenify. They get removed from the app list (in greenify). But as soon as I reinstall greenify the list is back. It's getting me sick, cause i've greenified some system apps that NEED to be degreenified. But nothing works....

I really don't get why it still greenifies without greenify installed, and why the list remains/comes back even after I've wiped the app data and reinstalled it.

Please help me, my phone is useless like this.

I'm on kitkat stock by samsung. On a note 3. Using the lastest beta of greenify (and yes I've also tried moving to the stable version)

Ps. I've also reflashed the rom(without wiping; i WILL NOT DO THAT), and deleted the cache.
[Greenify] hadi_rena:
1. Xposed framework is required to greenify system apps

2. Xposed will revert ART to Dalvik by default.

Note: Uninstalling xposed framework = losing xposed feature (uninstall framework differ from uninstall xposed installer)
[Greenify] rpgdev:
The only reason I thought I needed this was because I wanted to stop firing up my task killer from time to time but there are a lot of system apps that this program doesn't hibernate, like the browser or google search. So I still need to fire up the task killer anyways.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
What do you mean? It totally works for Browser and Search...IF...you have the full setup. (Xposed Framework / Donation Package etc) ;)
[Greenify] ayoubij:
For me, it never can greenify bluetooth share for example? It says used by android system. And im not even turning bluetooth on
[Greenify] themadproducer:
I just MANUALLY tried greenifying BlueTooth Share on my ICS and it hibernated no problem. But because it is a system app, I had to click the INSIST option when it popup up within Greenify. Maybe your issues are rom specific.

I would advise you give better DETAILS or SPECIFICS so that someone, or Oasisfeng can try to help you with it. For example, you say..."It says used by Android System". Well, what says that? Greenify UI? Or your rom?

And lastly, do you have the full xposed framework and Greenify donation package installed?
[Greenify] ayoubij:
I thought its obvious that greenify says its used by android system. Also ofcourse im using xposed with donate otherwise i wont be able to see system apps in the first place.

I posted a screenshot for more info.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
The screen shot helps.

Can you manually hibernate it?

With this information, maybe [MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION] can chime in.

Hey, in Experimental Features, do you have "block app state abuse" and "Greenify System apps" enabled?

[Greenify] memaro_maro:
reflash your rom.. ???? 15 minutes ~ easy solution, rather than waiting someone helping you out.
[Greenify] kevin_1351:
Well as i said, I've done that already. It seems that greenify is always present in the data partition. And as I said, even after I've uninstalled it; it still greenifies...

And after re installation, all apps magically showup as hibernated again.

There has to be some app data somewhere, and some bootscripts or something that survive the uninstalation.

Nothing similar ever happened to me before. But I'm sure that I'm right, cause none of the greenified apps are ever active; even after I removed greenify.

I have more than 760 apps, doing a full wipe really is no option.

Thank you so much in advance.

I could also attach a logcat if you want.
[Greenify] memaro_maro:
did factory reset & dont restore your data partition. just plain rom. your data partition should cleaned. greenify couldn't recover any of their data after factory reset.
[Greenify] kevin_1351:
Well it's obvious that I'll work on a virgin rom.....

AS I SAID though that's not an option for me. There has to be some files somewhere, that once deleted, fix my phone again.

In other words, how do you completely remove ALL the traces of greenify. Not only the app data but all the "magic" it has done to the system?
[Greenify] memaro_maro:
yes.. ok. try this. uninstall greenify, update xposed, reboot recovery. wipe cache + dalvik. reboot.

then check ~ path : /data/data/com.oasisfeng.greenify ( delete this folder) if any using root explorer. done!!
[Greenify] kevin_1351:
I've done that. But greenify still works. The greenified apps still don't boot automatically. And the funny part that i really don't get. Is that when I reinstall greenify. All apps show up again (As greenified/hibernated).

If I had successfully removed it, it wouldn't show any apps at all after reinstallation. Do you get me?

Thanks though :)
