I'm running Greenify in Boost mode. And I have just one question.
Does the Greenify service in Settings>Accessibility needs to be turned on?

I prefer activate it ; it's to automate manuel hibernation.

As I know, manual hibernation is for non-root mode?
True ! But you maybe use the manual shortcut (keep the menu button touched for 2 sec to automatically hibernate your apps ! That's why I keep it !

Where did the buttons go ? I put an App to hibernate and reset my phone. Now those 3 buttons are gone!
How it looked before
are you sure Greenify is the culprit? Check out your Gravity Box settings once more ... There's an option call Enable Navigation Bar...

Thanks! I Managed to set it back.
I dont know how Greenify changed that option.
Cool! Cool! Enjoy ur Z2
Greenify works great on the Z2. I lose max 2% overnight
I'll hibernate them, then after a few minutes of not doing anything they show up again as not hibernated
Did you use greenify with root? In root mode when you turn off screen it will be automatically hibernate. Otherwise you must add a widget call name hibernate and use it instead of power button for turn of screen
I've found this too. Apologies TheMuyu, I don't quite understand what you're getting at - so you don't use the stock 'Power Off' button but another app How could that affect what Greenify does? I don't really ever turn my phone off lol

If you have root, enabling Greenify in SETTINGS>Accessibility and SETTINGS>SECURITY>DeviceAdministrators should automate the process of hibernation.
If you don't have root, you have to create Hibernation+Screen off shortcut from inside Greenify and use the shortcut for locking the screen/phone. That will hibernate the apps and also lock your phone. @TheMuyu was talking about locking the phone/screen and not about powering off.

Thanks for that explanation, much appreciated
@tnsmani made a good explanation.
also i meant turn off "screen" not phone
i hope you solved your problem.
No problem! Sorry I misunderstood you, all good. Thanks
I have recently bought the donation pack for greenify and I have several questions. First of all, I want to say that the app is really fulfilling all my expectations but as someone worried about my battery performance I still have some question, but first I'll say the conditions of my smartphone:
Samsung galaxy s5 with lollipop using greenify 2.5.2 donation pack (non rooted)
Questions:
1) I cannot see apps like chrome to be greenified and I want to have them like that as I see chrome takes up to several hours of internet connection even if I have just used it for some minutes. I wonder this is possible because I suppose this can be made as in other apps like battery killers, chrome can be killed, but I just haven't seen how.
2) Everytime I open greenify there are many "pending" apps that are not hibernated, even if I click in "zzz" button or in the button that says "hibernate and turn off the screen". The only way to deal with these pending apps is to select all of them and click on "zzz". I guess there should be a way to have them automatically hibernated.
3) There is an option in the menu that talks about an automatic manner to do this but I don't see how to activate it. I have it marked the greenify options for locking the screen but there are even more things to set that I don't see where and how. Maybe you can guide me in this better. In case I have this option chosen, pending apps will be automatically closed after some minutes, as it is said? if so, how many minutes?
Thanks in advance!

Have you set Greenify to "on" in SETTINGS>Accessibility?
If you want to manually hibernate, create the shortcut from within Greenify (use the three button icon on the top right). When you use the shortcut, the chosen apps will be hibernated and the screen will be locked afterwards.
In Autohibernate, the time taken for hibernation varies but all apps should be hibernated within 10 minutes max.
For hibernating system apps like Chrome, I think you need root permission.
Yes, the accesibility for Greenify is set to activated. However this options is never enabled within the "experimental settings" menu. It's always set to off. So I have never seen my phone awaking ten minutes after to turn off all pending apps. They remain opened. Any hint?.
Best regards!

When you click the "always off" Automatic Hibernation option in Experimental Features, what happened? It is supposed to be a accessibility setting dialog for you to enable the accessibility service from Greenify for the first time, then Device Admin dialog to enable the other service for the second time, and being checked at last for the third time.
Here I post the sequence I do in screenshots. Evrytime I click in that button it appears the same dialog. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong...but i dont get it working and I have to hibernate manually pending apps
Thanks for helping! ?

Have you enabled 'secure key guard'?
If so, disable it and then check.

Yes! it was that!. I supposed it was enough by allowing greenify in the security menu. Thanks!
However, I wanted to have it working because I thought it was the only way to have pending apps hibernated because with the button "hibernate and lock" was not hibernating pending apps. After rebooting the phone (thing that I do seldom) it works as I expected. I guess this was the cause why greenify wasn't worked as I expected. Then, for me it is ok if I have that button since it does what I expected to.
Thanks to all!
I want to report an issue with Greenify (2.7.1) which causes space-swype on the Samsung Keyboard to be disabled.
The phone: Galaxy Note 2, custom recovery, rooted, stack ROM.
The Greenify app works perfectly, but when XPOSED experimental features are enabled and ticked ON via Settings->My Device->Accessibility: Services - Greenify, the Samsung keyboard won't change the language = one cannot swype the spacebar to change the language.
Once this Service is enabled no matter what - the keyboard issue will remain permanent.
How it is solved now: Uninstall Greenify via Xposed: Works. Then Reinstall Greenify via Play Store but DO NOT TOUCH the Service-Greenify.
Questions: is it real bug? How can one solve it without reinstalling the app? Any other technical ideas are highly welcome.
@Notizer:
Which mode are you using? The Accessibility setting needs to be enabled only if you are using non rooted mode according to the Dev. So if you are using root or boost mode, do not enable Greenify in Accessibility setting. You should not lose any functionality because of that.

I am rooted phone, but actually I do not know what " does rooted mode" mean - I did not see any "mode" in Greenify itself. For the best of my understanding I run a rooted mode.
(What do you mean by "Dev"?).

Greenify has three modes, 'Non Root, 'Root' and 'Boost'. You can access them by clicking the three dot menu on top right side of Greenify app and then clicking Experimental Features. The first option is the mode. Set it to 'Boost' if you have Xposed and have enabled Greenify in Xposed. Disable Greenify in Accessibility and then check your issue. By the way, do you have the donation package of Greenify or the free version?
Dev means the developer of the app, in this case oasisfeng.

Oh, thanks! Never knew that I can tap on "Working Mode" in Greenify! I use a free version.
So, I have Exposed and I enabled the Greenify module there, next I came back to Greenify itself and changed the Mode to Boost.
Could you please explain what the Greenify in Accessibility menu serves for?

I am not sure but I think that it enables Greenify to have access to notifications so that the relevant app can be woken up when a notification is received.
Is your problem solved? By the way, did you reboot after enabling Greenify in Xposed?

Hm, it is very interesting what is the function of this "Greenify" accessibility feature...
Since it was quite a pain to solve the swipe issue I did not enable again the Greenify in accessibility menu - I need the phone in full functionality now.
Probably I'll try to play with this feature later, but it was one-way road - I could not switch it off, thus again... I decided to postpone these "jokes"...

I have the same problem after the last update with my Galaxy S3. If I enable accessibility it doesn't change the language on the keyboard, and if I disable the accessibility, it doesn't let me to stop any app that I select to stop. No-root device, no-root mode for greenify.
Any solutions for that?
Thanks

Have you granted permissions to Greenify using adb? If so, the app should work.

I'm on a galaxy s7 oreo in no root mode. As soon as I check the automatic hibernation option it uncheckes itself. I really want to setup greenify to auto hibernate my selected apps as soon as they start.

The option you cite will not accomplish that goal. Automatic hibernation activates shortly after screen-off...not when the app becomes active.

Gotcha, is there an option to either stop immediately, or even prevent an app from starting all together? If not, I would at least like to get the option that is not working working so it will at least activate on screen lock. Thanks.

I don't know why automatic hibernation is not staying checked on your device. There is probably a logical explanation; I just don't know it off-the-cuff.
Greenified apps generally remain hibernated unless 'activated' by an event or another app. It either case Greenify will note the trigger and give you the option to 'cut' it off.
You can enable 'wake up tracking' and 'quick action notification' in settings for additional flexibility/control. Greenify also includes a couple widgets and other controls (eg: long press action on nav bar) for manually invoking hibernation.
