Klyph instead of Facebook

For all those users who are struggling with Facebook, try using Klyph (instead of facebook native app) and then greenifying it. It works for me.

---------- Post added at 04:19 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:37 AM ----------

Hi All,

I had a question that whether I can greenify apps like Google Play Store (not Google Play Services), Youtube, Calendar, google+, hangouts and Wallet. These are system apps though I am using the donation version of greenify with root. I believe all of these are GCM enabled app so hopefully they should work even in hibernate right?

Thanks in advance
[Greenify] themadproducer:
IMHO, it's an impossible question to answer. There are too many variables especially with different rooms etc. Best thing to do is just try it. I hibernate some of the apps you mention successfully, but I don't rely or use notifications of any sort except sms and calls. As per usual, my advice, is don't hibernate just because you can. Use Greenify as a tool to stop specific battery drainers etc.
[Greenify] BeowolfAgate:
Thanks for the tip. For now I am on stock ROM and I have hibernated those apps except Google play store. I am also not much of a notification guy so hopefully it should work out. I will report issues if I find any.
[Greenify] svarte:
If you don't use notifications, there would be no issues. I always uninstall google+ and hangout, and my system is fine.so greenifing them isn't big deal
[Greenify] hadi_rena:
Using aLogcat app is the easiest way imho
[Greenify] PunchTheLion:
Anyone else have problems with apps that are forever stuck on pending?

Even over a number of days all apps I use get stuck on pending. They never close.

Su has given access to greenify and it works all manually if I greenify

Experimental Features

I do really like this program due to my low-RAM i9000. And it was working very well since my first install.

Now, I'm trying to use ART in my custom 4.4.2 ROM, which has also a good impact for RAM-saving. But the problem is that for experimental features (which are also veery good btw) I require xposed framework installed in my device. And whenever I install Xposed Framework and reboot, device starts to get back to Dalvik again. So, I understood that xposed framework is not compatible with ART. So, how can I have the experimental features enabled in ART-powered device without having to switch back to Dalvik again?
[Greenify] ScarletCrimson:
Is that why some GCM apps aren't working (like Viber and What'sApp)? If I make the Greenify service persistent through App Settings, will it help?
[Greenify] kv1dr:
You can't. ART is in experimental state and it's currently only meant for developers, for everyone else it's strongly recommended to stay on Dalvik. Also the Xposed Framework should be fully rewritten to support ART.
[Greenify] Eleo:
Wow. That's a relief. Thank you for feedback :o

Even if xposed is absent, with my usage, I like ART very much!:good:
[Greenify] Lither:
I've Greenify Google Service, Play and others but I still get wakelocks from Google, is there a app that I can freeze it?
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
No, it has nothing to do with GCM.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
"App Quarantine", also provides quick widget for enable/disable.
[Greenify] ndevries:
This works! A good quick-fix for now. Oasis will definitely (and hopefully) have a fix for it soon! :good:

[Greenify] Anubhav Agrawal:
check first 2 posts,OP was kind enough to explain why it can't be made for gingerbread phones.. ;)
[Greenify] brajesh.sharma87:
It's pain in the *ss If you open so many apps at a time. You always tend to press that clear all button. In that case you can always open greenify before turning off the screen. At the moment I use a Tasker profile to greenify which works just perfect but that's not a proper solution.

How do u make a service persistent? Simply making the app resident doesn't help.

[MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION] please do something for people like us who are purchasing the app from Amazon app store. We won't get the latest updates.

[Greenify] b3dm4n:
I've been using greenify almost a year, today I join the beta tester. Since I want to clean install the greenify, I uninstall my current stable version before I install the beta version from google play.

Unfotunately I'm unable to install the beta version with error "Insufficient storage available".

I'm using SGS4 i9500 with wanamlite v3.3, with xposed installer and wanam xposed. My free storage currently at 3.3Gb internal and 4.3Gb external.

Is there any work around without re flashing or full wipe?

I've tried wipe cache & dalvic without success.

Thanks.

[MENTION=4245174]b3dm4n[/MENTION]

Try deleting folder named com.oasisfeng.greenify from /data/data/.. Deleting that should also delete similar folder in /data/app-lib/, but double check it is deleted.
[Greenify] AbhishekS:
Any chance of making notifications on GCM push and telephony wake-ups work without Xposed?

[Greenify] thracemerin:
Requires modifications to the android framework, they would have to be built into the ROM you are using.

The majority of the performance improvement from ART is placebo, just fyi.

Hi

I have recently rooted and installed greenify and am just observing my apps for now before I do anything. Would someone mind telling me if I can or should greenify Google play books please?....I don't use it at all (I use Kindle) but it seems to be waking my device, it appears quite high up the list on WakeLockDetector.

Would appreciate any advice. Apologies for the basic question, as a recent Android switcher, I have done a lot of reading over the last few days, only a fraction of it I understand and some contradicts each other, so anyone with the patience to help would be appreciated :)

Since version 2.0 beta 10, the shortcut can now be created also from the main menu in Greenify. Hope no more complaint about that. :)
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Dalvik runs faster than ART if your device has Qualcomm-optimized Dalvik (most high-end devices, such as Galaxy S4, HTC One, Moto X), or you can apply that optimization onto your current ROM if your device has a Qualcomm CPU.

[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Seems like something in /data/app/ stopped the installer. Clearing anything related to greenify in that folder might help.
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
Convert Google Music into user app with Titanium Backup or "/system/app mover", then you can greenify it.

Please do yourself a favor and don't greenify Google play services . you would mess up your device.
[Greenify] themadproducer:
I can confirm this [MENTION=4376588]oasisfeng[/MENTION].

BTW [MENTION=4551784]matrixzone[/MENTION] , I auto hibernate Google Play Services, and it serves my needs well. Any ill effects are not noticed for my particular setup, but may be worse for you. But it wouldn't be permanent anyway. Hibernating Google Services Framework is another story... Not good.

Or cut-off the paths. I have Facebook and Facebook Messenger installed, but because of many wake up paths cutted off, both apps are rearly awake.
[Greenify] tangcla:
OK, bought donate version! :) hopefully this will help support development for future improvements, or even better, a method to get Greenify working for system apps in ART, i.e. without Xposed!

---------- Post added at 03:01 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:58 PM ----------

With paths cut off, does it work as per normal (i.e. without loss of notifications)?
[Greenify] asdfasdfvful:
I don't use it but it should be. Paths cut off (depending on what you cut) just means that other apps will not trigger fb or messenger.

For me, I disabled the two to start on boot (with boot manager). Maybe it's because I don't use wifi at school, but the two have hibernated quite well for me
[Greenify] kv1dr:
Like [MENTION=5230774]asdfasdfvful[/MENTION] said, it depends on what you cut off. As long as you don't cut off something like "C2DM broadcast reciever", you should still get the notifications. But don't worry. If you cut off any wrong path, you can still connect those path back.

Actually this is how "cut-off paths" works: Some application woke up Facebook, but you didn't want that. So, you open Greenify app, see Facebook on running app list, cut-off the path for it, so you break connection between this two applications, and this "some application" that previously woken app the Facebook, will never ever wake it up again. I hope you understand now. :)
[Greenify] tangcla:
So which paths should be cut off, and which should be allowed, if I want to have the app functioning relatively normally?
[Greenify] kv1dr:
You have to try and see if the application still behave normally. At least that's how I do :)
[Greenify] tangcla:
Also, where is the option to restore cut paths? Is there a way without un-greenifying it?
[Greenify] kv1dr:
Yes it is. Just select an app, click menu button, and there should be an option like "reattach its wake-up paths" or something like that
[Greenify] oasisfeng:
This is because current implementation of Tasker plugin can only select apps with launcher icon.

So if you want "Google Play services", just select "Google Settings", it's the same app.

This can be improved though.
[Greenify] atomomega:
Granted. But this makes me wonder if paths get cut-off globally or only for the triggering app.

I.e: Whatsapp wakes up Play Store through [com.google.android.finsky.billing.iab.InAppBillingService] but ROM Toolbox Pro wakes it up through the same path, so, assuming I want to keep the path for one but not for the other, would cutting it off from one have an effect on the other too?

Sent from my HTC Desire C
[Greenify] kv1dr:
For the waked up app. So, in your case, if you cut that path, Play Store will not be woken up again using the same path (in that case com.google...BillingService), so netiher whatsapp or ROM Toolbox will not be able to wake up this app(using the same path off course)
[Greenify] atomomega:
Ok, so they get cut-off globally. Yeah, that's the thing, certain apps need certain paths to work properly so... it's a matter of personal convenience I guess.

[Greenify] themadproducer:
I believe this has been discussed and @oasisfeng is aware of the issue.

It seems that many of the newer Android OS's have this issue. Figures eh!

Workaround

In any case, since it works manually, you should consider temporarily using TASKER or LLAMA app, to create a profile to hibernate all apps at screen off. It's EXTREMELY easy to do.

(Or, use a timer after screen off...but this can get more complicated to program because you need to stop the timer should you turn the screen back on before it has finished counting down.)
