This is a method by using greenify to help you identify and put the bad behaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, stop them from battery leeching, memory hogging and stealthy running, in an elegant and unique way! They could do nothing without your explicit launch, while still have full functionality when running in foreground.
Combination of greenify and xposed function as prevent the apps from awake when your phone is in deep sleep mode. For apps like whatapps and viber, this method can set to hibernation mode so that phone more battery friendly. However, when there is a message, it still will give notification. Of course, it will delay few second.
Before you try this, remember that if you brick your phone, i WILL NOT responsible. However, i tried in note 2, galaxy wonder, nexus 7 GSM and galaxy s2 i9100g and all worked perfectly. Please DO NOT greenify alarm clock apps, instant messaging apps unless you never rely on them. Please be sure to verify the impact of greenified apps on which you heavily relies.
How to do this:
1. Download Xposed Installer.apk from http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk . thanks to @rovo from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
2. install Xposed Installer.apk and open Xposed installer choose framework, click install/update. after it, reboot your phone!
3. Download and install Greenify_v1.95beta7 and Greenify (Donation)_2.1.. I know that greenify donation version is paid version. there is method to crack it but of course i cant share here. it is better to buy it to support the developer.
4. Open Xposed Installer and choose modules. you will see greenify, tick it and reboot your phone again..

5. After reboot, open greenify and click menu button and you will see experimental features.
6. This is what you will see. Tick the 2nd (most important). You can try tick other also.
7. Finally and also last step, greenify the apps that you seldom use. Basically, apps like line, viber or whatapps which you seldom use it, you can greenify it. However, for the apps that you frequently use it, greenify it will only cause delay when opening it. So, think before you choose the apps to be greenify.
However, Not all apps use GCM as push mechanism, some apps create their own TCP connection for push in background service, thus can't benefit from this patch.
CAUTION: it is not work in all of the rom. For example, it does not work in miui.
This is the source for greenify apps.
Great tutorial, thnx.
Should we start discussion on what sys app can be greenified without any impact on phone functionality ?
It's probably worth adding xposed boot manager and receiver stop as well for ultimate battery life

I cannot for the life of me kill Google maps. It will start right back up. I have it turned off completely with autostarts and with Gemini app manager.
Can go into expert mode with Gemini app manager, kill it, refresh the list, and it will be running again.
I haven't used maps in two days
EDIT: I want maps to run only when I tell it to. So no freezing or disabling.
This is why I want it to stop:

or turn off gps... thats the only times maps tries anything, otherwise it just wakes up the phone to check for gps which ends up being only like 0.3% battery eating
Ttt
My maps is usually always running, but never uses any battery. Like others said make sure you have GPS off, and if you keep trying to kill it, it will only automatically relaunch which will consume battery. If you don't like it, freeze the app, thats about the only this.
Bump for edit.

This app is started by a number of intents and receivers. Disabling them will stop it from starting but may also disable features.
You can turn off gps use for location. It will be less accurate but still work using other things like wifi.
Use something like ROM Toolbox, go to app manager and long press maps. Select advanced freeze. Among the many choices look for those containing the word "latitude" or "friends". Uncheck them. Maps should continue to work if you did it right BUT the Latitude & Friends services will probably not work.

Remove Google Maps from any app killer you are using and restart your device. Is it still consuming that much battery power?
Other than freezing it, apps are free to open as they please on Android, something I've never been a fan of.
A simple "kill" will not work...you need to "force stop" it. Settings...Apps...Maps...Force Stop. If you have all autostarts disabled, it won't come back until you open it.

I've tried Greenify and it doesn't work all that well. Facebook is one of the apps it just can't hibernate and it always starts up again.
I found a workaround though, but it depends on how intensly you depend on Facebook.
I installed an app called App Quarantine. It puts apps (even system ones) down to sleep without any chance of them starting up again without your consent. The thing is it's not as simple as with Greenify, since when you Quarantine an app, it dissappears from the phone. Icon, widgets, shortcuts, everything, it's like you don't have it installed.
The thing is you have to set a widget from App Quarantine for the app you quarantined and then the widget comes out in form on the app's icon, with a lock on it. If you want to use the app, you just click on the widget and then it comes back to life and opens. If you're done using the app, you click the icon-widget again and it locks it, and that's it.
I use it on the Facebook app and it doesn't come back on eating my battery, however the "downside" is that if you rely constantly on FB notifications and such, you won't get them since the app is quarantined. However I set my Facebook account up so that everytime I get a notification it sends me an email, so via email I'm still "getting my notificacions" even though the app is quarantined.
I guess it depends on everyone's usage of a determined app, but FOR ME it has gone well and saved me a lot of battery life since I've quarantined a bunch of apps that I just use or check a couple of times a day and that are major battery drainers if not controlled.
Thanx for ur suggestion. I'll try the app too.

Is that latest beta?
Go for the stable one or turn the greenify access ability from setting.
Same here, I've been having an issue with Greenify Auto-Hibernation being stopped, and I can't figure out why. I made sure it is removed from Amplify, I whitelisted it in Power Nap, but I even turned off Power Nap to try and stop it, and I have it set as a Device Admin and Accessibility Services are activated. I'm rooted, using boost mode, xposed enabled. I did notice that it started not that long after switching to a 5.1.1 port from a Kit Kat ROM, is there any trick to make it work on LP that I'm not aware of?
I have the same problem with the latest beta.

That is in DEVICE>SETTINGS>Accessibility. But it is required to be enabled only if you are running Greenify in non-root mode.

What issue? Some random dude and a few friends had a problem 15+ months ago while tens/hundreds of thousands use auto hibernate without issue. Such 'problems' are almost always confined to an individual device and usually self inflicted.
Best practice is to try the latest Greenify build, carefully document behavior if not to expectations and provide logs when requested.
I've found that it won't work for devices that have a password lock screen.
Problem solved!

Hello Team,
I am having greenify donate version and been using it since very long. But recently post updating my pixel 6 pro with March Update (Android 12L) app has stopped working. App is able to open each targeted application's configuration window but unable to click/process force close option. If we manually click it then it will proceed with next app but same again getting fail to force close it.
Please help me sort this out or will it need a new app version to be launched?
Having the same problem since the update in March. Haven't been able to fix it no matter what I've tried.
I thought I was doing something wrong. I picked up a Pixel 6, currently running Android 12, SP2A.220405.004. I redownloaded Greenify and the donation package from my library, and I can't get it to work properly.
It will open App Info, and the screen might flash a few times, but eventually the screen returns to Greenify and nothing has been terminated.
If I click Force Stop myself, I'll be asked to confirm on the pop up, then the screen will move to the next App Info window. I repeat the process, and usually the automation will pause here for a couple seconds before resuming. During the entire half-automated process of closing apps, it seems Greenify has to pause every two (sometimes three) App Info windows and gather it wits about it.
Very frustrating. I'm really hoping there's a answer soon.
I'm using Android 12, SP2A.220405.004 and using greenify fine by using terminal systemizer and put into system app
I got the same issue on my pixel. I recommend you to uninstall Greenify and try this perfectly working alternative.
Hibernator:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tafayor.hibernator
Same here on Android 12L revision 5.
When the automatic hibernation process is left, it doesn't work.
Else, if I pull down the notification panel and pull up it again while hibernation is in progress, it works. However, it must be done one at a time.
There are no attachments for this case.
Sorry.
I'm also facing the same issu in android 12L.
greenify cannot force close apps. it stucks.
I request the developer to please make it compatible for 12L.

This is happen because A12L/A13 don't allow some permissions for recently Greenify app (4.7.8+).
The installation is out of Play and app is "not verified" by Play Store.
Latest version from Play is 4.7.5 since 2019.
INSTRUCTIONS to fix permissions on early Greenify versions:
1. Install Greenify and Donation Pack from Play Store (4.7.5).
2. Grant root access for Greenify on KSU/Magisk.
3. Download and install (update automatically older version) Greenify 5.0 (search .apk on Google, uptodown and sourceforge).
3. Go on Android Settings and apply all permissions:
Settings > Apps > Special Apps Access
- Device Admin Apps > Greenify Automator: turn on
- Display over other apps: Allowed
- Device & App notifications > Allow notifications access: Allowed
- Usage access: Allowed
- Turn screen On: Allowed
Settings > Accessibility
- Greenify Automated Hibernation: turn on
Open Greenify app and finish the settings on app.
Shallow Hibernation isn't working, don't enable it.
Enjoy.
