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

Any solution?
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.

I don't have that option ( "Wake-up Tracker and Cutoff") in my list. I am on the beta version though, maybe it's not in that one?

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?
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.

Thank you! Switchr now working on Lollipop with this!

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.
Hi @pyler,
Is this module still needed in Android M for apps like Greenify?
Thanks

Needed for Marshmallow? Thx
Sent from my lightning fast SM-G930F (S7)
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.

This feature is still available in Greenify and I used it yesterday.
Either Facebook or N6P should be the reason if it is not working for you. Most likely Facebook.

Are you running 2.8 beta 2? It was available on my phone as of a week ago, and the option isn't available for any apps, so it isn't my phone and it isn't Facebook. I recently switched to systemless root, could that be it?

I am using SuperSU, version 2.56 beta with systemless root. I'll try going back to regular root and I'll report on whether or not the ignore running state option comes back.
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.

I just installed beta 4. Nothing changed other than getting a notification saying that the hibernation is postponed. I don't have xposed framework though. Could you please explain a little bit more about how you did it?

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.

Thanks, this is definitely something I have done in the past on a Samsung device. However, after I had migrated to Nexus 5x I lost this option. I just try to replicate the steps yet once again I don't get any prompt for app state. Sigh.
FYI, yes I am on root mode.

This option is not available for all apps. It is only available for certain apps, may be only those that are persistent.
Why don't you try this on another app and see whether you get the option? By the way, which app is giving you this issue?

Hi xda!
Lately i had problems with 7.0 eating out my battery really hard because of the infamous NlpCollectorWakelock.
This bug is totally random and some phones may have it, some may not.
Mine was pretty plaugued by it, but since I really like the added benefits of location services (such as location history, smart lock, etc..) I just couldn't switch off the location or leave the device to "gps only" setting.
Amplify sadly is a no-go because of xposed framework atm missing in 7.x
So, after digging the web around a bit, i just want to report what fixed the issue for me (and likely for you too)
I downloaded an app, called disable service (you may already know it)
I switched to the system tab > google play services > turned off network location service
I know, it may sound dumb, but it doesn't break the location from cell towers/wifi (and also gps works great) but it fixes NlpCollectorWakelock.
To revert, simply put the check back.
Test it out and report back here, for me it did a great job!
P.s.: English is not my main language, so if you find grammar/other errors in the post above, let me know about them.

I personally never tried to disable those, you just need a compatible kernel (ElementalX Kernel works just fine)
Anyway i don't suggest messing with kernel wakelocks as could lead to really annoying troubles.
There are user that reports no notifications on wifi after disabling it, others say the phone works perfect. I think you should just try and see if it works for you.
Also, don't expect much more savings from disabling it, since the biggest battery drainer on stock android is (and always will be) google play services.
Installed it now, i'll let you know (se la bandiera non inganna dovresti anche capire questa frase qui tra parentesi, spero che la tua soluzione vada bene perchè sto impazzendo col mio note 4).

I am in no way related with @franciscofranco but he has a more updated app called "Servicely" which I have been using with 6.x, 7.0 and 7.1 . You can check it out in the app store.

Will report back with results. Currently my phone is running out of juice.
