[MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION] thanks for the great app!

It would be very nice to have an option (in a donation package maybe) to prevent auto-hibernation of opened apps (that are shown in recents menu).

Here is a basic use-case I see. Suppose you're using some app (let it be a social network client). You navigate to some view in the app (say to write a message). Then you minimize it or switch to another app and suddenly get distracted for a couple of minutes. The phone goes idle, and Greenify has a time to hibernate the app you were working with. It still remains in the list of recent apps, but when you open it from there, it starts loading from the beginning (showing you the feed in case of the social app, instead of the message you were typing, which in turn gets lost). However you still want the app to be auto-hibernated, but only after you close it manually (with back button, or by swiping it out from recents).

I tried to search through this thread for similar feature requests but with no luck. What do you think about it?
[Greenify] themadproducer:
[MENTION=5793083]abusalimov[/MENTION]

For different reasons or usage...I recently requested an option to have a similar feature as you are mentioning here. (sadly, shot down...but that's ok) What I proposed was a shortcut or Tasker Action when pressed/activated, would Hibernate the Foreground app.

Here is a scenario. You have Auto Hibernation completely disabled. (Sometimes, you may press a "Hibernate All" shortcut. Fine.)

But like you said, you have a social app running, then minimized, then the phone turns off. After powering back on, you continue where you left off with the social app. Then you decide you want to Hibernate the "social app" and no other apps. You would make a gesture (eg Gesture Navigation module) and it would trigger the "Hibernate foreground app" feature thus HIBERNATING the social app. Voila.

My workaround, is a Gesture via "Gesture Navigation" which has a built in KILL app feature...which is basically the equivalent of hibernate. It might be the actual same method! Other than that, just keep Auto Hibernation off and click a "Hibernate All" shortcut.

Oh one last bonus but convoluted alternative that works!!!

Install "Overlays" app. Install Tasker. Create a TASK in Tasker which uses the Greenify plugin and choose the "Social App". Create an overlay profile for the Social App and overlay the new TASK. Now, whenever you run the Social app, there will be a small floating shortcut (task) button that serves as a Hibernate button for that social app specifically. I still use this for some apps. I have these apps installed anyway, so for me, it's no extra overhead.
[Greenify] abusalimov:
Ow, this looked to me as aiming the opposite goal at the first glance, but now it's clear, I got it. Thank you, I definitely should consider this way too! :) Could you also provide me a link to the actual discussion of your initial proposal, please? I'm just curios.

However, I'm still looking forward for an answer from the OP. It doesn't seem to me as a "rocket science" feature to introduce, considering the amount or work already implement (though we have no sources, and I can't tell for sure, obviously).

Is the migration from Amazon to play store has started ???
[Greenify] juliatan:
This is perhaps very off topic.

But after a Greenify update recently settings were resetted so Greenify wasn't working properly. First on my tablet and now on phone it appeared to be the reason why the batteries of devices were draining like hell. With settings correct now all is good again.

Google should make developper a multi-millionaire and implement Greenify in Android for all. Android's battery life on its own is garbage.

My Explanation

The Dev's answer

I am fine with using Gesture Navigation which works in harmony with Greenify...not too mention...I use it for fast easy access to other daily used features such as voice control or screen off etc.
[Greenify] omargamalxx:
it is the best app in the market but lately it sounds that there are problems with auto hibernation
[Greenify] themadproducer:
What I appreciate about Greenify, is that this app and the concept, we're created first before any other options were out there. It potentially handles apps behaviour better than the OS can. I still use ICS, and aside from a few kinked beta versions, Greenify has worked consistently well for me since day one. With so many mods, roms, device combinations (and faulty users lol) ... it's pretty darn amazing that these devs can make these apps work at all.
[Greenify] Chanz09:
I have tried that clears cache also before installing. And still i get no notifications. Uninstalling works again wassap.
[Greenify] siavash2death:
Sorry if my question is simple or already answered. After greenifying apps, when I open one of them, it appears in greenify app in the Pending section. I want to know is it necessary to greenify it manually, or in this case, the app doesn't effect on battery during?
[Greenify] luriert:
If it is open and being used it will be in the pending section. If you have it set to auto hibernate it will automatically greenify it once it is closed.
[Greenify] svarte:
Can we have a force English language in settings ?
[Greenify] fenchai:
hi guys, It i am on the latest stable build of greenify and it looks like after a certain period of time screen off, facebook and other apps need to hibernate again and they stay at pending unless I hibernate again.

is there anyway to keep autohibernating?

btw in the setting, autohibernation is ON
[Greenify] 1300l:
Well with xposed module you can get the app settings module and force english on greenify.
[Greenify] siavash2death:
If what you said is true, then I think auto hibernation doesn't work.
[Greenify] fenchai:
well, I have closed the app, or you mean i have to force close it myselft first? if so then why doesnt greenify do it itselft?
[Greenify] robogo1982:
I am on the latest version from Play Store, and Greenify won't greenify some apps like Facebook, even 20-ish minutes after screen off. It just stays at Pending.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Search this thread for... (cough cough) Facebook. It's been discussed.... Numerous times. You may want to test the beta versions by getting on the beta channel. See the OP. Too bad the worst offenders, such as Facebook, for some people, is not being hibernated successfully. If else fails, use an alternative to Facebook or freeze it on the fly with App Quarantine.
[Greenify] siavash2death:
No. I mean, it seems that when I use an app and then I press back button, I check greenify app and I see app is in the Pending section. So I think auto hibernate doesn't work for me.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Yikes!

Back button does not induce hibernation. Screen off with a 3-5min wait is when hibernation kicks in... Unless you have a manual hibernation shortcut or Tasker task.
[Greenify] robogo1982:
It seems to me Facebook devs make the app start some processes in the background which the system classifies as important, and then leaves the app and the phone awake.

Cheaters :D
[Greenify] fenchai:
hahaha well, its facebook, even their chat app does this, so im not surprisef that they cheat xD

any good facebook alternatives? :D
[Greenify] themadproducer:
Yeah probably it has a higher priority SERVICE which helps to re-spawn the PROCESS which is the main app. Also, other apps can WAKE FB in the background. That's when the CUT OFF feature of Greenify MAY come in handy.
[Greenify] zolee_:
Thanks. So ok, there is problem if instaling from Amazon and updating from Playstore. He is working on that.

But why there is no 2.3.1 on Amazon?
[Greenify] jacknicholson:
It's a process.
[Greenify] abumy:
This is just what I came looking for. Facebook does not seem to hibernate. Each time I hibernate apps, I see Facebook in the toast notification, even when I didn't use it.
[Greenify] 1300l:
Mine is not waking. Maybe wakelock detector could show you what is waking facebook.

Do you use widget or sync contacts?
[Greenify] abumy:
Contacts might be syncing, but I am not using widgets for it. I think I allow Facebook messenger to sync contacts while that one stays hibernated. I don't remember for sure which I allowed to sync.

That is a good idea, to use wakelock detector. Thank you.
[Greenify] 1300l:
Your Welcome. From my past experience with it, the contact sync wake it every 30 mins. If you can live without it in sync, try to disable it.

Or even better, you can disable it and get this app here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ro.weednet.contactssync

It will sync your facebook contacts, but you can choose to sync every 12 hours for example. So it will keep Facebook and ubersync greenified.
[Greenify] juliatan:
For the first time tried experimental function 'Wake-up Timer Coalescing'. During night while sleeping about 8 hours just recharged battery drained from 100 to 81 percent. Normally that is 0-1 percent.

Guess I am not using that new experimental function anymore.

[Greenify] Anderson2:
I am confused and have a quick question.

I use a rooted Nexus 5 with stock 4.4.2 rom. Greenify has "Root working mode" under experimental features.

1. What are the advantages of using Root working mode?

2. What are the risks in using Root working mode?

3. There is also a setting in Xposed to enable greenify experimental features. If this setting is not selected will greenify Root working mode still work?

Thanks.
[Greenify] Gerton:
Could greenify mess with the WiFi connection with experimental features all enabled?

Since a while my WiFi is disconnecting and won't connect until I reboot the phone.

[Greenify] sonwon:
Not that this will fix the problem with WiFi shutting down have you tried stopping and restarting WiFi manually? Also, have you installed anything else that messes with WiFi?
[Greenify] Gerton:
Manually restart isn't possible, it flashes for a while and won't enable. 1 core of the processor is kept at max speed. While this is happening.

Didn't change anything what could break the WiFi.

I now deinstalled Greenify and rebooted.

Until now it's working.
[Greenify] sonwon:
It may not be Greenfy since it could be a software package that is not compatible or like you think it maybe a bug. I am not having any problems, I just have the free version.
[Greenify] Gerton:
I will keep it uninstalled for a while and see if it helps
[Greenify] LTunez:
Not sure this will help, but I've had the occasional issue with WiFi losing connection after making changes to an Xposed module, and the following has fixed it for me. Try forgetting your WiFi connection/network and then reconnect to it.

watch "x" number of ads to unlock a feature? I saw this on the cleaner app from

When xPosed got updated to v2.6 and 2.6.1, some modules needed to be updated. Greenify has been recently updated to be compatible. My Greenify version is 2.3.1. If you don't or can't update Greenify, then go back to an older version of xPosed.

Issue with Greenify on Republic Moto X

Hi guys,

I seem to be having a problem with Greenify on my Republic Wireless Moto X.

I have some apps set to auto-hibernate. Included in the list is skype....but after I open Skype (and subsequently close it), it stays in the Greenify "pending" list forever!

The info suggests that "after a short period of time, with screen off", that the pending apps will be auto-hibernated. But this never happens. I left the phone alone overnight, and in the morning, Skype was still "pending".

Now, I can press the hibernate now button, and it does get hibernated....but I'm curious why it isn't auto-hibernating as advertised.

Any suggestions?

auto hibernation

I have been reading and searching this thread so much that I now have a headache which I will be attending to shortly. My question is simple, I thought until I started searching.

I Greenify an app so now it's hibernating. I open the app and use it, so now I'm done with it and I close it that app. Does it automatically hibernate or must I tell it to hibernate again each time I use it or any other Grenified app?

Thanks for the information all.:)

I have a tricky question (at least tricky for me).

I would like to greenify my music player when on pause but not when it is effectively playing music.

How can I do that ?

Currently, if I don't greenify my music player, it will keep my phone awake when set to pause and thus is killing a lot of battery

If I greenify my music player, it will stop while playing when the screen goes off...

I do have the donate version of Greenify and Tasker (I presume building something with Tasker could do the trick, but I don't know how).

Any help on this would be great :)
[Greenify] davtse:
Its possible, I guess, if you use it with headphones. State-> hardware->headset plugged as the event, and set a profile to ungreenify if screen is off. Otherwise I suggest you try a different music player.

If you have Tasker and Overlays module, you can create a floating button that shows whenever you are running your music player in the foreground. To stop, click this button, and it will run a quick Tasker task that hibernates your music app on the spot.

Alternatively, try Gesture Navigation mod and set and gesture (eg 3 finger pinch) that kills whatever foreground app is visible, I'm your case, the music player. It will not wake up after until you want it to. Bonus, is that u can use this trick for any app.

If u use one of these methods, you need to remove your music app from the Greenify list.

If you insist on auto updating apps (I don't because I like to read changelogs first) make sure auto update apps is set in main settings, like you probably already have.
