This is the first beta version of Greenify 2.7. This major version is aimed to improve the over-all user experience in every aspect (if possible).
Beta 8
Fixed the detection for background active app on Android 5.1.1_r9 and 6.0, with new implementation.
Fixed crash on Android 4.0.x.
Simplified the confusing state reason of postponed hibernation.
Beta 7
Fixed crash during auto-hibernation in non-root mode.
Beta 6
Due to a permission change in the newest revision of Android 5.1.1 and 6.0, Greenify has to use the usage stats permission to detect the foreground app and avoid hibernating it. Unfortunately, this new implementation could no longer detect the active background apps (such as music player).
Improved compatibility with Android 6.0.
FIX: Xposed feature settings lost issue on arm64.
Beta 5
Foreground app no longer hibernates even if "state always ignored" is checked.
Reduced the impacts of wake-up cut-off.
FIX: Native processes cleaning.
FIX: Wake-up action in Tasker plug-in on Android 5.x.
FIX: No longer list disabled apps.
Beta 4
Fixed the reboot issue in root mode if core system app is greenfied.
Beta 3
Greenify now cleans up native processes after hibernation, to prevent self-reviving.
Fixed root mode on Android 4.0 & 4.1.
Fixed non-root mode on Android M.
No longer pause auto-hibernation when charging.
Beta 2
Fixed the manual hibernation not working issue when charging. (introduced in beta 1)
Beta 1
Dim the screen when performing auto-hibernation on non-root device.
Auto-hibernation will pause when external power is connected.
"Hibernate and Lock Screen" shortcut does not require device-admin privilege activated, and is now compatible with Smart Lock on Android Lollipop & M. (root-only)
Experimental support for Android M Developer Preview, with new "Shallow Hibernation" - application context and push notification are all preserved in hibernation.

About Android M support (experimental)
Since Android M is still in early developer preview stage, anything could change before the final version is out. So is the experimental support in Greenify.
Greenify now takes advantage of App Standby feature in Android M and combine it with the efforts of traditional implementation to create a new "Shallow Hibernation" state for greenified apps. In this state, app won't lose the context before being switched to the background and could also receive GCM push message in hibernation.
Known issues
The "... Lock Screen" shortcut with new implementation is reacting slower than before in some lower end device, due to slow root invocation.

@oasisfeng Thanks for the update. Working fine but the problem that the notifications don't get delivered unless the screen is turned on manually remains on LP. Greenify shows as push received "x" minutes ago but no notification sound or anything related when phone screen is off.
nice
I have a slight problem with the newest version: Any app that happens to be awake when I open Greenify just stays awake. At the moment Google App, Google Play Store, ACalendar Plus and Weather don't wanna get closed, they just stay persistently. If I press to hibernate them, I get a toast message that they're hibernated, but they are not... Now I don't know whether it's an error of function or of displaying

Yup, I have that problem too. The toast says hibernated but they actually don't get hibernated.

I'm sorry, I still can't figure out the cause of that issue yet. It seems like only affect some apps in some situations. This combination is not clear in any form.

Thanks for the reply. For me it's mostly in whatsapp and viber. I have the logs for the GCM push if you need. And it happens everytime. Basically in all situations.
And as for the latest beta update, I have an I9300 running 5.1.1 with boost mode (xposed).

I have collected many logs in the past months. But both Google Play services and these apps are closed source. Logs are not enough to figure out why they can't post notifications even if push message was received.
Several attempts have been made trying to fix the issue, but still no luck yet.
Maybe they are not prepared to receive push message in hibernation state.

Have you connected external power to the device? If so, that's because Greenify will not perform auto-hibernation during charging since this version. The incorrect prompt information is the known issue I've listed in the OP. I'll add more clear prompt for this.
all ok with hypernate here
@oasisfeng
I searched a bit and I kept finding conflicting info regarding the interaction between greenify and GCM-Push notifications on Android Marshmallow without xposed. From here the developer states that " GCM push should work for all hibernated apps once their developer adopt the new GCM priority policy required by Android 6.0. No more Xposed framework needed for GCM push!", however all over the google+ community and here at xda it is said that that option works only with xposed installed in fact it can't be enable without having xposed. Therefor is it implemented in the app inherently? or is it still a "project"?
I want only a clarification on this matter to better understand if i have to greenify the social apps or not (I need their notification even if not received ASAP).
You raise a good point. I'd like to know this as well. I had to disable GCM function because of constant random reboots. So far, since disabling, I've not had a reboot but time will tell.

Hi all, I'm considering on buying the donation package of Greenify to try out the GCM Push notifications on hibernated apps but I´m not sure about it so can you please guys tell me if it's works properly and if it has any impact on the battery life?
Also, I would like to ask about the feature called "Shallow Hibernation" because I don't know what's exactly it does and the description doesn't tells much for me.
Thanks

GCM Push notifications will work OK if the apps pushing notifications are developed keeping in mind Google's recommendations. Further for apps not using GCM viz. Facebook and WhatsApp etc it will have no effect.
On shallow hibernation: Till now, if you restart a hibernated app, it will have to start from the beginning and not from the background (like from 'recents'). This will consume more battery and that is why the Dev advised not to hibernate frequently used apps.
Now in shallow hibernation, the app will be kept in memory but it will not be allowed to function in the background (like syncing etc). When this app is opened again, it will start as if from 'recents' and not from the beginning. This will save more battery. This is my understanding but I don't know if I am 100% correct.

Where da link doe ??
Not sure what's going on, but I thought it was related to hibernation and/or deep doze, but notifications aren't coming through for some of my apps. I still get notifications from chat apps like Hangouts, LINE, HelloTalk, Twitter, and Sync, but other apps like Groupon, Coffee Meets Bagel, no longer show me any notifications. I'm on a LGV20 running Nougat and the latest Greenify beta and have also tried to whitelist these apps from Dozing, but not dice. any suggestions?
I'm having the same issues on my Oneplus 3t.

Similar posts in other Greenify threads although not everyone is seeing this. No definative solutions; what works for one doesn't for all. You'll need to do some searching to sort the issue.
looks like my problem for missing notifications were due to AdAway blocking some amazonaws.com hosts... I'm back on track now with Greenify working 100%. unfortunately I need to not Greenify GroupOn for it to show notifications =(
hello to all. my configuration is fritten in my firm.
i noticed some differences between standard and shallow hibernation. i tested telegram and whatsapp on standard... and of course if a person send me a text the apps are NOT WAKING UP till i open them. perfect!
but on shallow hibernation i notice they are waked up and i receive the message, ok maybe not instantly but it could take about 15/30 seconds to receive them.
is it a NORMAL BEHAVIOUR? maybe yes......
this is what i read in the settingsShallow-hibernated apps will be woken for a brief time periodically in hours and immediately upon HIGH priority GCM push (only if GCM priority is implemented by app developer). They will also keep awake during charging
mmmhh... ok so it should be something similar to the xposed feature ( that require donation package) called "GCM push for greenified apps" ???
i am on nougat and i don't have xposed, but i have the donation package......but i thought that without xposed i would never had the possibiliti to greenify an app ....MANTAINING the possibility to receive push messages... just because for this feature it's needed xposed!!!
so at the end..... could i consider the shallow hibernation an alternative "GCM push for greenified apps" for the persons that can't have xposed? i am just a fraid that this kind of hibernation is not so much effective in terms of battery life, respecting the old/standard one...... but i wait for some users more skilled than me that could explain and reassure me....:laugh:

- high priority GCM push notifications will display immediately with shallow hibernation or w/Xposed option (Android 6.x and below)
- standard notifications will be delayed until next maintenance window with shallow hibernation; Xposed variant will deliver those immediately
- app developer controls notification priority
- personally I would stick with standard doze/hibernation and call it a day
sorry but i didn't understand your last point. what does it mean "call it a day"?? sorry i'm not a native english....
But seems that you don't rely so much on the new shallow mode.... is there a more precise technical motivation that you could bring on the discussion table... to let me understand why do you prefer the old hibernation method?

- expression "call it a day" simply means stop further activity (the job is done)
- I do not use shallow/aggressive hibernation as the benefits do not outweigh the side effects; all my devices sleep well with standard doze/hibernation
ok... in fact i notice that with shallow method some apps still continue to wake up the phone, i see the wakelocks on wakelock detector app and betterbatterystats. so at the end it's not clear if shallow hibernation is a REAL OR NOT hibernation... because these 2 apps that wake up, antutu and MYwind ( an app to check balance and options of my operator) are NOT setted to receive any notification... so i don't understand why they still uses alarms.
BUT........ i will continue to use shallow thinking and hoping that i could gain more battery life greenifying MORE APPS.... also the messaging ones. in fact i greenified telegram, WA, alsmost everything and i stil continue to receive notifications.
what i'm saying is that maybe standard hibernation is STRONGER, but it needs to be whitelisted with at least messaging apps and other apps used on average, and my fear is that the benefit gained from the TRUE "old" hibernation could be not surpassed by the smallest NOT whitelisted apps that the shallow ones permits you to set....without break any notification (sorry i'm not a native english, it's my best)

I understand what you are saying. Best path is to test both modes to determine which best meets your needs. Good luck.
