Installed Greenify for the first time last night on my rooted Nexus 6 running CM13 12/25 nightly.
After installing, I hibernated a few apps (instagram, twitter, google maps). I turned the phone off and next thing I know it automatically rebooted by itself. Upon restart, SIM card error occurred and of course no mobile data or cell phone service. Restarting the phone did not fix the issue. Uninstalling the program fixed the issue. Any ideas?

Which version of Greenify are you running and in which mode?
Do you have the donation package?
Did you enable GCM service or Aggressive Doze?
Have you installed Xposed?

Greenify v2.7.1 (the newest version on the play store)
Not sure which mode -- whatever mode is default. The SIM card error occurred before I had a chance to even play with settings.
Not donation package.
Did not enable GCM service or Aggressive Doze -- like I said, didn't have a chance to even mess with settings.
Did not install Xposed -- it didn't mention having to install Xposed in the playstore description, so I didn't -- is it necessary?

CM13 seems to have issues with a few apps. May be the current beta of Greenify 2.8.beta7 may solve your issue.
Default mode depends on your root status. If you are unrooted, it is 'non root', if you are rooted, it is 'root'.
Xposed is not mandatory for Greenify but when enabled in Xposed, Greenify gets some more options to play with like hibernating system apps.

Sorry I didn't realize what you meant by mode -- it was in "root" mode.
Maybe I'll try out the beta version, thank you!

Is it worth using the app at all if I am not root? I do not plan to do so for awhile so I want to use the app as it is but is there any real value in attempting to save my battery?

If there's no root the only benefit you lose is; practically nothing. The boost mode is the one that offers so much. The "non-root" feature is there for a reason. I believe, it will benefit you :good:

Thanks, this can easily be uninstalled if it fails to benefit me right? I know there is this auto-hibernation mode but I was reading the description about having no lock screen for it to work. I currently use the fingerprint scanner on my Note 4 so I am not sure if Greenfiy will work with this.
Is there any difference between the root and non-root mode aside from the automation differences?
Does root mode also force close apps in the background to achieve app hibernation or is it a different method from the non-root mode?
i cannot figure out how to uninstall greenify (non-root). Uninstall button in play store is not there - only deactivate is shown and brings an error that some administrative thing needs to be removed first? I cannot clear cache or stop the greenify service in the App list because its all greyed out. Please can somebody help me?

Settings, Device Administraor. Uncheck Greenify. That is what "deactivate" means.
Additionally, if necessary, switch off Greenify in SETTINGS>Accessibility before uninstalling though it may not be necessary.

The hibernation method used in both modes should be almost identical IMO. A possible delay of reopening a greenified app should occur in both modes, as the greenified app's process needs to be recreated. However, the root mode brings a few more benefits which could be inferred according to the root exclusive options provided in the "Experimental features" option.
since this thread is about(ishhhh ) root, i have a quick question concerning v2.5 final, doesnt greenify need root permission anymore? i installed the lastest version in a fresh installed rom, selected some apps to greenify but even in root or boost working mode, it didnt ask to give root permissions. so i ask, is this normal in this version?

Did you enable the options in Experimental Mode that are meant for root?
Also check your Supersu settings to see whether you have enabled the setting for the app to not ask for root permission on updating.
Hi,
I am currently on a rooted Galaxy Note 4 running kit kat and I improperly removed Greenify through Titanium Backup without backing it up. I found the proper method afterwards, but I can't deactivate it anymore through the play store after unchecking the settings in security. How would I install it back?
Thank you in advance.
I'm sorry, what do you mean by "can't deactivate it anymore through the play store"?
So I go to the play store and it has the two options "deactivate" or "open". I obviously get an error when I try to open it since I uninstalled the files. When I click deactivate it tells me to go to my settings and unchecked the box and stuff. Which I tried but it still won't let me deactivate after unchecking the box in settings > security > device manager > uncheck the box.
The error when I open it says "unfortunately com.oasisfeng.greenify had stopped working"

Go to Xposed and deactivate Greenify from the Modules list. Then reboot and see if you can install again from Play Store.
I just rooted my phone so I am new to this. When u say Xposed you mean Wanam Xposed app Right? Thanks for the reply.

No. I am talking about the Xposed module by rovo89 and tungstwenty. With this module, various mods can be installed one of which is Wanam Xposed and Greenify is another.
In which mode were you using Greenify, root or boost? If you were using it in boost mode, you should have Xposed installed and Greenify activated in Xposed. If in root mode only, then you don't require Xposed. In that case wait for the OP to reply.
Greenify doesnt working with xposed module....not all xperimental features....i mean boost mode...running lollipop5.0.2
Did it work before? Have you donated? You have root and the correct Xposed framework installed? Is Greenify enabled in Xposed and have you rebooted? etc etc etc

A Couple Issues
I will tag onto the need help thread here and hope someone is familiar with these issues. I have Greenify and the donation package installed. I have had it working well before. Now when I open Greenify I get only the screen that lets you select the mode and the experimental features.
I uninstalled it via TiBU and reinstalled the backup with the same result. I uninstalled via TiBU (could not uninstall via the Android App Mgr. It was grayed out. I reinstalled via the play store - had to do via PC because I can't install from the phone for some reason. I get the same result. Only can see the single screen. Also, Greenify is not asking for root and does not show as having root permission in SuperSU (2.49) . I have rebooted, wiped cache and dalvik, and still have the same issue.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

I have version 2.6.2. It had been working in the past. It would sometimes get stuck on the same screen, but I could always get it to go to the main screen for hibernating by reopening.
I installed 2.7 Beta 2 and got the hibernate screen. Then when I rebooted it went back to the same problem.
I figured out that I had to remove administrative rights to uninstall, so I did that, uninstalled, reinstalled 2.7 beta 2 and it asked for admin rights and has them, but still I cannot access the hibernate screen after rebooting. So it seems to work okay until I reboot. I am running the latest Xposed for LP 5.0. I also uninstalled and reinstalled from the play store 2.6.2 (via PC) and I could not access it either through exposed or through the app drawer. I then enabled Greenify in Xposed and rebooted and still it is the same. I may have to remove and reinstall Xposed.

Go to SETTINGS>Device Administrators and uncheck Greenify. Then to SETTINGS>Accessibility and switch off Greenify. Then uninstall Greenify the usual way, not through TiBu. Reboot.
Then try to install Greenify from Play Store or download the apk and install. Enable Greenify in Xposed. Enable Greenify in Device Administrators and Accessibility. Reboot, not soft reboot.
Then open Greenify and see whether you are able to access all the features.
You have root and Xposed, I hope.

AFAIK, you can. However have a nandroid ready, to be on the safer side.
Well after a lot of screwing around, I think (at least for
my circumstances) I "may" of found the answer. Because
the error said something like "auto hibernation service is
being blocked by 3rd party tool or system settings
(ex.stamina mode in sony devi es. autostart manager in
MIUI) Please whitelist greenify for automatic hibernation
to work", I uninstalled Donkey Guard and Cydia Substrate
(they were installed a couple of days before I got the pro
version of Greenify, even though there was no problem
with them before I got the paid version of Greenify), but
still got the error. Ruling out program issues, this time I
actually shut down my phone (no reboot or soft reboot)
and on opening Greenify, no error. Since I was using the
reboot toggle in "Notification Toggle", I tried rebooting
through xposed (not soft reboot) and this time, no error.
Tried again with Notification toggle and got the error.
So, at least for me, I think I may have solved the
issue.....for now.
BTW thanks TechnoSparks as you gave me something to
work with.

Also after installing Greenify, set it as a device administrator.

Can Greenify Pro (payed version) hibernate systems apps in noRooted phone? Apps like Google+, Gmaps, Hangouts....
Greenify free can't it.
Hi guys !
I have been using Greenify for quite some time now and finally decided to get the Donation Package in order to unlock some more advanced features.
There's no way to know (or so I think), but I guess deep hibernation, at least, works fine. However, even though "Greenify system apps" is ticked, the only change I noticed in the wizard is SuperSU, which appears when ticking the box in the right up corner menu. I did reboot several times, but with no luck.
As for my configuration, my device is a Honor 5C L51 on Android Marshmallow. I use the EMUI stock ROM (v4.1.2 at the moment) and Nova Launcher Prime.
Do one of you guys have any idea how I can greenify my system apps ? Or is it normal that only SuperSU appears on that list ? I do understand that these options are experimental, but if there is something I misunderstood to get this working, please let me know.
Thank you for your time.

- is device rooted?; can't hibernate most system apps w/o root
- make sure working mode is set to 'root' in settings
- if still no joy consider making Greenify a 'system' app which gives Greenify some additional powers if not running Xposed
- that said there are few (often no) system apps that benefit from hibernation

I am root and Greenify's working mode is "Root + Boost (Xposed). I'm confused about what you're saying though, how can one change an app priviledge from user to system ?

If you have Xposed there is no benefit to migrating the Greenify apk to the system partition. Make sure Greenify actually has root permissions. Change the working mode to 'non-root' and then removed the related entry from SuperSU (or whatever root manager you are using). Return to Greenify and select boost mode [or whatever is need to return to "Root + Boost (Xposed)"]. You should get a SuperSU prompt ... either immediately or when attempting to manually hibernate an app.

Just did all that and nothing changed. I also tried to untick the "Greenify system apps" option box and tick it again with no luck. However, I noticed that I could actually make SuperSU appear and disappear from the list of greenifying apps like I mentioned in my first post even if the box is unticked.

Not much more to say. Either: 1) you have no system apps running aside from SuperSU [seems unlikely]; or 2) Greenify does not have sufficient permissions to see and act upon system apps. Good luck chasing this one down.
SuperSU typically runs as a user app regardless of how Greenify characterizes it. You can check current status from within SuperSU.
