Can't uninstall greenify - Xperia Z2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi.
I would like to uninstall greenify. Want to see how much better my phone runs without it.
I go to apps. Click on greenify. But the uninstall button is grey'd out. And won't let me uninstall?
Any help please folks? Cheers

No. That's the whole point of Greenify. Each app will re-hibernate after a short period of time. If it didn't go into running apps, you wouldn't be able to open the app. Greenify will hibernate the app a short time after you finish using it.

You cant. It will hibernate each app as it is no longer in use.

Apps like greenify

Is there any app like greenify that is available for android 2.3?? I've heard that it's only for ICS and I'm stuck with 2.3. Please help

You could use Titanium Backup to freeze apps, keeping in mind that it doesn't have the same functionality as Greenify, once an app is frozen you must manually unfreeze it to use it again.

In the second post of the Greenify thread, which is also the FAQ section. They suggest a few alternatives for 2.3 users. Such as App Quarantine, or Autostarts.

I know these apps. What I'm talking about is the app that can hibernate, not quarantine or freeze the app....

Facebook messenger pull to refresh

Hello all
I have just returned to android after a spell with an iPhone 5s.
With the ios version of Facebook messenger you have the ability to pull to refresh but it appears this is not available on the android version. Or am I missing something?
A Google search did not really help
Thanks

I think you are missing something, it's been a standard feature for as long as I can remember?
Just had a flick through my settings nothing seems required to enable it?
Have you updated?

As the title says, I've found some great alternatives to my Messaging and Phone apps and would like to know if I can uninstall those apps and only use my alternatives?

Depends on the app. Just freeze it first and see if it causes issues. If it doesn't then delete it to free up space

I'll give it a shot. Thanks.
EDIT: Freezing the app disabled the actual call functionality from the entire phone, even from the user app PixelPhone Pro. Is there no way to disable just the stock phone interface without disabling it functionality?

You can disable certain components of apps using root. Like, if you don't want to see the default messaging app you can disable that activity. In your case, you can disable the dialer activity and it won't show up in your activity drawer, it also won't be launchable from other apps either, yet the rest of the app is still fully functional.

How would I do that? I'm rooted and have Titanium Pro installed.
