I'm using greenify on CM11 (android 4.4.4). I have xposed modules installed. I want to know what is the difference between Root mode & Boost mode... And also is there any disadvantages of using experimental features?
If you are using the beta build, maybe, otherwise not.
Boost mode requires xposed to be active, where root mode only needs root permissions.
Boost mode is more powerful

I switched to BOOST mode. Everything was working fine, then I noticed that greenify is unable to hibernate facebook automatically. I manually hibernated facebook. Then opened facebook again & after sometimes noticed that greenify has hibernated facebook. My question is why did it fail?
Sometimes apps uses some ways to stay in Android system memory, greenify can't freeze those

Freezing them through a Tasker plug-in or a greenify shortcut will help I believe, at least does for my aps

Sometimes hibernated apps are waking up automatically! Is it a bug of Greenify?
No, some other apps might waking them app. Enable the cut off thing and go over the app that wakes up and a pair of scissors will appear.

The problem is happening in BOOST mode but not happening in ROOT mode. Should I revert back to ROOT mode?
If you don't have xposed installed, yes.

It is not a problem. Boost mode detects it, Root mode does not.
Since you have Xposed, it is for you to decide whether to use Boost or Root mode.

Go to "Experimental Features" and enable "Wake-up Tracker and Cutoff".
Then when you click an app in Greenify which is pending hibernation (which was woken by another app), one of the options you will get is the "Scissors" icon.

In Greenify beta, 'wake up tracker & cut off' is stated (by the Dev) to be built in, which means when an app is greenified, all its links are cut off automatically. That is why you don't get that option in beta.
However I have no idea whether that is working correctly since I have gone back to the stable version and not using beta since I found this feature not suitable for my needs.

I found that when you click on some apps that are currently not in hibernation mode, sometimes a scissors icon appears in top left and you have to click that to enable that feature. Not all apps get that icon when clicked on though.
Tapatalk is one example, see attached screenshot
After two pagesin this thread i don't say what is the difference between root and boot mode....
I understand Boost mode with an experimental feature (with donation and xposed) it's capable to block any "push wake up" by other application....
There's other?

The text in app screen is interchanged.
cause it shows visible to Perceptible apps and when I exit from app it shows Perceptible.
I think only names are interchanged there is no change/ problem in functionality of app.
In 1. you can see that internet speed meter is running and Greenify shows as visible
when I close the app in part 2. it shows Perceptible

Whether rooted or not, Greenify runs perfectly on Kitkat. It is Xposed which requires root and Xposed increases functionality of Greenify.
When an app is not made for or is not compatible with an OS, then what will work and what will not, can not be predicted. It may not work totally or some features may work or some parts of the app may be skewed as in your case.
I installed xposed on my nexus 6 and have the greenify module enabled in xposed. How ever, once I go to greenify settings and enable some xposed feature it will give me a pop up about activating the module + rebooting. It is already activated.. the reboot didn't help as well.
Any ideas?
Thanks
Yes, greenify for 5.0 is still in beta for now, you just have to access the beta, download, and it will work fine

Disable restricting Android API to get recent tasks in Lollipop and newer. This restriction causes that some apps (e.g. Greenify) don't work as they should, since Android now returns nothing or useless info when they want to get recent tasks. This module should fix it as it was before.

Imho the app developers should update their apps. There are new permissions like PACKAGE_USAGE_STATS. I checked wiht an M emulator my apps (non-xposed & non-root apps) TaskManager and KeepRunning and they still work without this module

Is that a yes or no?
PackageUsageStats is not same as getRecentTasks. I doubt you can get same info from PUS as in getRecentTasks in pre-LP.
Hi,
May I ask what you mean by giving the example of Greenify? What exactly is the shortcoming with Greenify in L in contrast to pre-L?
I was following their change logs and it seems to me that there is nothing Greenify nowadays couldn't do in L. What am I missing?
I am just asking, because I am not sure why and whether I should install this module as a Greenify (beta) user.
Wouldn't it be easier to introduce your fix in their own code?
Modify module to work for only one app?
I'm wondering how I could modify this module to make it so that it only works for one particular app (Last App Switcher). I like the idea of Android preventing third party apps from getting my recent app details, but I also miss using LAS.
I'm thinking that in the call to XposedBridge.hookAllMethods() I could replace the third argument XC_MethodReplacement.returnConstant(true) with a instance of XC_MethodHook that checks the calling app's package name and if it matches the package I want to target (com.abhi.lastappswitcher) then it would return true, otherwise it would call the standard Android isGetTasksAllowed function normally. I've never done any Xposed development though so I'm not sure I'm going about it the right way.

No, since many devs already use new APIs.. If you have old app, not updated for LP/MM, this maybe needed for full app functionality.
A fantastic module, some apps still require this to work, an app from myself for myself for example: RAMTool https://tiziocaio.store.aptoide.com/app/market/com.thepriest.andrea.ramtool/1422/22796519/RAM+Tool
Since my app analyzes recent and running apps and on a regular interval, I fear that using UsageStatsManager will degrade performance, I am afraid that the cpu will be more stressed.
Rewriting my code to get worse perfornce than before doesn't make me happy ...that's probably the reason i hadn't yet wrote it.
Are my fears unfounded?
I noticed a few days ago that Facebook was no longer hibernating when I shut off my screen. It turns out that the option to ignore app state is no longer available, which I was using to hibernate apps like Facebook that always show up as working. Is there a reason for this? Because this option is not available, Greenify will no longer auto-hibernate Facebook. Currently running on a rooted Nexus 6P.

Either Facebook or N6P should be the reason if it is not working for you. Most likely Facebook.

I'm an idiot. You have to manually hibernate a working app before it gives you the option to ignore running state permanently. Thanks for your help, everybody!
I am on 2.8.1 with root mode. I don't seem to find the manual hibernate option to ignore app state. I got this app that's abusing the state and shows "working" all the time.

Xposed doesn't have anything to do with this option. I hope you are running it in root or boost mode.
You may not get this option on the App Analyzer screen. When you are on the main screen of Greenify and this app is shown as running, touch it to highlight it. Then click the Zzzz button or the three dot menu, then 'hibernate now'. You should get a dialogue box containing some warnings and also a checkbox within it. Tick the checkbox, then click OK. That is all.

Go to Settings in Greenify, tap Troubleshooting and then "Apps are not auto-hibernating". Then you will get the option to enable Wake-up Tracker. By default, it is off. After enabling it, follow the usual procedure to invoke the scissors icon.
For me this option don't appear. Only appearQquick Action Notification toggle
Wake-up Tracker requires READ_LOGS permission to work. Follow the instructions here to activate it:

See the Dev's post above. Further, the scissors icon will not appear for all apps. It will appear only when you try to manually hibernate some apps which were woken up by another app/process. In other words, the app should have been already chosen for hibernation by you and if it is still woken up by another app/process, the icon will appear when you try to MANUALLY hibernate it.

Some custom ROM may have some low-level Android features disabled. Could you verify whether logcat is disabled in that ROM, since wake-up tracker depends on event log to analyze the wake-ups?
