Greenify weak on lollipop - Greenify

Without xposed, Greenify is quite weak. Any plans for switching to something else?

Yeah unfortunately that's true. The donation package is pretty useless now. Like keep notification. But I know the creator of the app said he's working on a major update, making most xposed features available on lollipop.

Creator of xposed or greenify?

Greenify cause reboots on Xposed for marshmallow
I woke up to a flashing yellow notification but no notification in the shade to go with it..
What could this be? I rebooted the phone to get rid of it..
Perhaps it has something to do with greenify xposed mode?

Also, a couple random reboots I think may be related to greenify... Not sure tho

The reboots are related to the GCM Push feature. Disable it and it won't cause reboots anymore.
Really hope @oasisfeng can fix this soon

Neuxs6 with android 6.0(58r) shows the same reboot issue, when the wechat app was pushed & recieved via GCM feature.
I have to disable the GCM option, this is the root cause.

See above post.
Galaxy Tab S 10.5 running 6.0 AOSP, beta 2 was working fine (except GCM feature causing random reboots like I've seen others mention). Then beta 3 now and boost mode seems to have broken, it takes that 3-4 seconds for each app to hibernate as if it was root mode (or even non root), and I don't think auto hibernation is working at all actually.

This occurred when I tried to add apps in the app picker or just select them from the hibernation screen.
I uninstalled Greenify and then reinstalled it and it temporarily fixed the issue. It was working fine for a few hours and then I woke up this morning and apps were no longer hibernating.
A reboot fixed this but I will need to see if it happens again.
Why this recommendation to uninstall the final and install the beta? What's that for? Why would the beta work better than the final?

Wipe data cache of Greenify and then uninstall and reinstall. It may solve your issue.

There is no recommendation. Betas always contain some improvement or the other over the last final version. But betas may be buggy. Some people who are game enough, try these betas and report the issues faced by them if any and the Dev accordingly adjusts his app and then publishes the next final version. Betas may or may not work better than the previous final.

I don't think that anyone will certify that it is advisable or not advisable. But the fact remains that if properly set up, the three can and are working satisfactorily for many people. The keyword here is setup.
thank you for replying.... I'm just a newbie with Amplify and Powernap
Amplify or Powrrnsp is pretty useless if you get Greenify, unless you need to freeze some special system services

Amplify can limit specific wakelocks/alarms which Greenify can not do. So each one has its own functionality. When used in conjunction with proper setup, they can give you amazing battery life.
For freezing, none of the three would work.
So whats the correct setup with these three?

The correct setup is one in which your phone works as desired by you without any hiccups.
In other words, there is no universal setup applicable to all. It depends on the phone, model, ROM, apps installed, expected behaviour of apps etc (way too many).
However there is a guide, underline the word guide, which will help you to set these apps up as per your requirements. Beyond that it is a trial and error process.

They all do 3 different things, so yes they indeed all help.
They're all used in this extreme battery guide: http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
Greenify completely limits background services which help keeping the device smooth and save battery (besides, you can enable GCM push for some apps).
Amplify delay alarms and wakelocks on things you can't really Greenify without something will go wrong, like Google Play Service or apps that you rely on, but not so often as the developer want, like mine check for location once every hour, for Facebook Messages every 2 min and so on.
PowerNap is for the perfect deep sleep. Whitelist what you rely on and the rest will get blocked and can only run when your screen is unlocked (etc game notifications. I don't want them greenified, as I want them, neither apmlified, as i don't want them when screen is off).
If you got more questions, feel free to ask.
But as said, what is working and stable for me, might be a big loss of functionality for other people.
So you should make all 3 apps work to exactly your desire and you won't feel that you're limiting your phones features.

or U don't have any idea.
I haven't used it recently but I had great battery with amplify less so with powernap. But it might have been updated since I last tried it.
Im not a satisfied user of Amplify as well, tried a lot of options, the ones described on this forum as well, I have a different phone now but the same error "Unfortunately, Google apps has stopped working". Cant find which wakelock/alarm/service has this affect on it (any ideas?) and its popping up a lot so I rather uninstall it.

Unlimit "icing". It is not Amplify's fault. Limiting icing was working well till the first week of May. Then Google updated Play Services and all hell broke loose.
From my point of view only Greenify is needed. I used to use that combination for an year and battery life is now better with only Greenify. I also ditched Xposed and amplify. I couldn't believe it myself but battery life is better for me without amplify. During the night my phone consumes 0,2% battery and that's super good.

Greenify without xposed

Hi all,
I'm using my S7e with nougat and there is no xposed yet here.
Can someone share how it works this app without using xposed mode? Is this still being so useful in Nougat and without xposed?
Thanks!

Install recent builds as a system app to enable 'privilaged' mode which yields functionality similar to Boost + Xposed. Great for Nougat.

I also converted it as a system app through TiBU but the mode stays as "rooted" perhaps because I am on Nougat.
And Xposed options can not be enabled. I think that it functions as rooted but in a better fashion. But I don't see any difference in performance between normal installation and as a system app.
EDIT: After reading on another thread that TiBU places Greenify apk in /system/app instead of /system/priv-app, I checked and found that indeed the apk was in app instead of priv-app. So used TWRP to move the apk to priv-app and rebooted. Now Greenify is functioning in root+privileged mode. Let me check the performance. (Of course still no Xposed features).

Yes, I also have the donation package installed. Are you running Nougat? Do you get the Xposed options?
Though on opening Greenify I don't find any difference, I find that the phone sleeps better and the drain during idle has come down after moving Greenify to priv-apps.

Well - I speak in half truths. Nougat is installed on a test device. Migrated Greenify to a system app a few weeks ago. Verified it was running in 'Root + Privileged' mode and quickly checked access to Xposed-based features which popped up as expected. But (a huge but...) never attempted to enable any as it was a test device and didn't immediately need the extended functionality. You can guess the rest...can't enable any of the Xposed options...just like everyone else. I hang my head in shame for not throughly testing.
Small positive: Privileged works similarly to Boost w.r.t the speed of hibernation. Probably some other goodies too. Not ready to jump over to Nougat in my daily driver due to other Xposed dependencies. So really not in a good position to give Privileged mode a through assessment.

Does Greenify really work ?

On my Mate 9 (running Oreo 8.0, no root) I installed Greenify, but Greenify displays that e.g. Opera is greenified, but in an Android task manager (Android Assistant app) it shows it is still eating CPU. The same applies to e.g. Brave browser which has 'no background' according to Greenify.
Does Greenift really hibernate apps ?

Of course it does. The size/activity in this forum plus frequent mentions in respected publications over many years should offer some clues to its integrity. Whether it is working on your device is a different matter.
Greenify does best on rooted devices as unharnessed ROMs can both undo actions and/or misrepresent status. It's quite possible an app placed in hibernation was later woken via internal trigger that Greenify can not suppress on an unrooted device. In the case of Opera (my preferred browser) there is regular syncing of tabs and downloading of *cough* 'news' if you have those features enabled.
I also question info coming out of the "Android Assistant" app. On my device it claimed all apps had zero CPU...including itself. Also did not display system partitions correctly nor properly detect the sensor suite. Granted I only spent a few minutes poking around. Maybe some switches needed to be thrown.
Finally, you probably don't need Greenify on Oreo as Doze does a find job with power management.

Well don't take my word for it. Simply remove all apps from Greenify's hibernation list (hopefully there are not many there), observe device behavior over the next few days then make your own decision.

ok, but, when Greenify hibernates an app, you don't get notificaton froms this app, but when Android itself hibernates the app, you still get notifications, how does these two compare?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
It varies by app, developer approach and user settings. Many apps will experience delayed notifications with Doze while other punch right through. Greenify can be configured to permit notifications but only if the app utilizes GCM (Firebase). Aggressive doze, light hibernation, Xposed framework availability and several other variables contribute to notification behavior. If your head is spinning it should! End users should not need to know the contents of the underwear drawer. Best practice is to simply let Android do its thing without 3rd party tools unless one understands their behavior and application. At one time such tools were needed to achieve acceptable app/device performance and battery life. Not so today. Is such a simplistic solution 'optimal' form an enthusiasts point-of-view? Probably not. It is acceptable/reasonable from an end-user perspective? In most cases 'yes' yielding a good balance of performance and battery life with minimal interaction for those who simply want to enjoy their device vs. manage it. Good luck with whatever direction you choose.
Agree one hundred percent!
Greenify on Oreo is an appendage that is best left out in my opinion, since for most, Oreo itself manages the drain admirably. Though I have it installed, it is more by way of habit than necessity. I have experienced Oreo without Greenify and have no complaints.
Greenify is STILL works.
But its benefit on recent Android versions is not as prominent as on earlier versions.
Coz we already have Doze starting from Marshmallow.
It works for me. I have a samsung tab a 9.7 sm-t550 with an aicp 8.1 rom (lineageos based). Therefore it doesn't have the built-in samsung app device maintenance. I've also discovered a little trick to using greenify that I want to share. I use greenify with another app called shutapp. Shutapp is an app that helps you force stop apps running in the background. Except I don't do that. I use it solely for the purpose of having an accurate number of apps running in the background. Then I open the app to see which ones are running. Next I open greenify and hibernate them. I use this method, because I found that when you force stop the apps they will open back up again. Also, I use the widget from shutapp and not the floating bubble which requires extra permissions granted. The widget does the same thing without the extra permissions. This method I discovered has improved my ram and battery life drastically. I can tell because I use status bar mini pro to monitor my ram speed constantly. And finally I do have Xposed with the donation package of greenify, didn't want to leave that out. Not sure if it makes a difference or not, but wanted to be accurate. That's it, hope that works for somebody else, take care.
I hear that greenify isn't really needed on Oreo but how about the xposed version of greenify? That ads a couple of more features, does any of those change the verdict to "must have on Oreo" for greenify?

The verdict doesn't change. Use of Greenify on Oreo may become "must" only if you have a rogue app which can't be controlled otherwise. Even then, it might be better to seek alternative apps instead of trying to control it with Greenify.

Greenify works just fine on recent Android builds. It is a tool that can be very beneficial when properly used to produce a specific outcome. That said, it is rarely needed on Android 6+ as doze handles most of the heavy lifting. Enjoy using your device vs trying to fix problems you haven't identified.

If you do a search for Xposed, there is a uninstall ZIP file that you can flash using recovery mode that will uninstall Xposed, which will then disable Xprivacy and your phone should be able to bootup.

I think you should be able to disable the Xprivacy "module" from within the xposed app, then reboot. Then uninstall xprivacy like you would any other app, then reinstall the xprivacy APK and it should start with default settings.

XPrivacy doesn't work on recent Android versions anymore due to structural changes in Android, which is the main reason why XPrivacyLua was developed.

In fact many things were changed, but the main obstacles are tighter security (SELinux), how the activity manager service works and how apps are being started.
