Hi,
I am using the latest Greenify version (donation package) v2.6.2 in order to hybernate some apps causing wakelocks when my phone is in stand-by mode. I was also trying to hybernate all the google apps, such as google play store or google play services, which worked out perfectly by cutting off some reactivation paths.
In order to update my apps weekly or monthly I wanted to take these apps from the greenify list, which was successful at first glance. However, I am now facing problems in regreenifying them, especially when it comes to the google play services. I have no idea why, but this times greenify always tells me that it fails to hybernate google play services for no apparent reason. Also it does not show me the scissors tool to cut off the wakelock paths.
Has anybody of you experienced the same problems? Is there any solution for my problem? Thank you for your help!
If you use beta 5, that's why:
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.

Actually not, I am using version 2.6.2 according to the application.
I have seen problems after I hibernate an app called " Google App" similar issues
Still the same problem. Reinstallation of greenify and Xposed didn't work out, unfortunately. Did they change something inside of greenify without a new version?
Hi,
I'm running greenify (donation version) on a nexus 10 running CM13 release, and I can't get auto hibernation to work.
All i get from greenify are notifications listing apps that can be manually hibernated.
On my other devices (all rooted) auto hibernation works fine. Yes I do have root access turned on in CM13, and greenify has root access.
Any suggestions?
Cheers

What kind of screen lock method?

no idea, how can I tell?
Right now I'm inclined to say "Whatever is the default", since I'm not conscious of making any changes to any settings about screen lock methods.
after some observation time I can see that it's always the amazon apps (amazon video, kindle, amazon app store, amazon music) that are not automatically hibernated.
...the strange part is that they go to sleep with greenify just fine on my other devices, none of which runs cyanogen.
edit: just saw several google apps from the gapps package in the list as well.
same problem as yours automated hibernation not work.

Are you absolutely sure they don't hibernate after awhile? You probably have the setting "Quick Action Notification" turned on and that is what you are seeing? I have both the Nexus 4 and 7 running CM13 and hibernation works on them just fine, however the notification does show the option of manual hibernation as well. I don't worry about it anymore and let Greenify deal with it.
On a side note, I noticed the beta update yesterday does keep my devices "dozing" better.

thanks! that's what that was.
---------Update on 2017-12-10----------
I spent some time on this issue these days and made a little progress. Here is what I found:
I am using Island (com.oasisfeng.island), which is also an Oasis Feng's project, to manage some apps which ask too much permissions and do not use GCM as push serivce.
The progress listed in the quick action menu are actually installed in "island", but are also recognized as "mainland" apps. They were once installed in the "mainland" and added to the Greenify, but already been moved to "island". So Greenify could not stop an app that did not exist.
Steps to reproduce the issue:
1. Install Amap (com.autonavi.minimap) and Alipay (com.eg.android.AlipayGphone) into "mainland" and "island";
2. Add both of the four apps into Greenify;
3. Remove them from "mainland";
4. In Island app, freeze then unfreeze these two apps;
5. The quick action notification menu should look like this:
https://i.imgur.com/0weJIRj.png
As you can see, the apps that were installed in the "island" are tagged with "(in Island)", but there are also two apps, which should have already been removed from "mainland", listed in there. And "hibernate all" function would do nothing to them, because they were actually not exist.
I'm not sure it's a bug with Greenify or Island, or even both.
Temporary Fix:
1. Install the apps that can't be hibernated into "mainland";
2. Remove them from Greenify;
3. Uninstall these apps from "mainland".

Device: BlackBerry PRIV (STV100-1)
System: Adroid 6.0.1
Greenify: 3.8.5
Island: 2.5.0/2.5.2
Issue
All apps that were added to Greenify were listed in the quick action notification menu, even if they were already been hibernated.
When did this issue came out?
Recent update.
What do you expect?
Is there a way to set this function to list running apps only like before?

Not seeing this; QAN working as before. Might be config/device/rom specific. Greenify 3.8.5 on Android 7.1.2 w/Xposed (official).

Thanks for your reply. I have updated the post with more details. Would you like to have a try on reproducing the problem on your device? Thanks.

Thanks for the additional details. Island is "Early Access" with clear notations around potential instability. It's up to the developer to take note of this thread and address any issues he feels are pertinent. It looks like you have identified a workaround; hopefully that will benefit others while things get sorted.
Hello,
After rooting my Mediapad M3 I installed Greenify. However, it doesn't seem to work. There are no apps listed in the app which I could greenify? What is wrong?

The opening page of Greenify after installation will not list any apps. You have to tap the + sign at top right and then select the apps to be hibernated. After such selection, the opening page of Greenify will show a list of the apps hibernated.
Greenify can't auto hibernate apps in Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 running the latest Miui version 9.2.1.0 (details attached in screenshot below).Even after granting all the permissions, Greenify fails to click the force stop button & no apps are hibernated.
This is a major bug and leaves Greenify completely non functional in non rooted phones.
This issue must be fixed ASAP!

Not sure of your expectations or what you are trying to show with the video. Greenify does not remove apps from storage nor immediately reduce their memory footprint (although they may happen over time due to normal LMK behavior). It's singular purpose is to block unwanted background behavior without crushing functionality.
While you may have indeed identified a new 'bug' a single data point (your device) does not necessarily extend to all devices and configs - rooted or otherwise.

Yes brother.I know that Greenify doesn't remove apps from storage but what I'm trying to show here is that when you click on Hibernate Now, Greenify force closes the apps but in this case it fails to do the same.I am not the sole user facing this issue.
This problem has popped up after the latest miui update.
Thanks again

Appreciate the clarification (might want to shorten and/or annotate the video). So you claim the "problem" is related to the latest miui update but then extend the claim to all unrooted phones and demand Greenify "revert" ... to what?
I do see others raising issues with accessibility based functionality and there may indeed be a link. So far none have stated Greenify flat out does not work, only that automatic hibernation doesn't take place the screen is turned off.
Let's see how this plays out as more reports filter in.

Yes!You are correct.In a nutshell with the latest Miui Update (9.2) , Greenify doesn't hibernate the apps after screen lock even after being granted all the required permissions.
This happens in non-rooted devices
Hope that we will find a fix soon
Thanks a lot!

Turn Off MIUI Optimisation
I had same problem on my Mi Max 2 after MIUI update. To solve it just disable MIUI optimization under developer settings and reboot, Greenify will work again as it used to work before MIUI update.

Check v3.9.5 on Play Store. It seems to have the solution for your issue.

Are you able to grant special ADB Permissions via Pc brother in non rooted Mi device?
In my case,with usb debugging enabled and all permissions granted,I get an error saying "Neither user 2000 nor......."
Kindly help
Thanks
V 3.9.5 does not work on redmi note 3 (miui9)
I noticed this the hibernate now does not works because Xiaomi change force stop button layout.
Yes Sir correct it doesn't work in note 3

Me and others in MIUI forums had the same problem with only USB debugging turned on, this is what solved it:
Turn on the following option:
USB debugging -Debug mode when USB is connected
Install via USB -Allow installing apps via USB
USB debugging (Security Settings)- Allow granting permissions and simulating input via USB debugging
It's very simple
1 . Turn off miui optimisation under developer settings
2 . Turn on " FORCE ALLOW apps on external "under
developer settings.

Watch this ,
I think this will surely fix your problem.
I'm on xiaomi redmi note 5 pro (india) with miui 10.0.1
0. I'm having the same issue that greenify is not at all able to click the force stop option in the app page in the settings. This renders greenify completely useless in my device, since hibernation isn't working at all. I've been using greenify from last 5 years, and never faced an issue until now.

I really don't understand why you are using Greenify to go to an app and click force stop ... Why not just go directly to the MIUI settings and force stop it there ?
Anyway, on all my 4 Xiaomis, with the latest and greatest MIUI 10 8.9.2 Developer ROM as at this date, Greenify works perfectly.
Apps under Hibernation are as expected when viewed from the MIUI Settings, they are already Force Closed (Force Close button greyed out), with the Uninstall button available (not greyed out).
Under MIUI Settings, apps under Shallow Hibernation are not Force Closed, and clicking on the button Force Close will force close it and the button becomes greyed out, and after that, the Uninstall button will be ungreyed and available. When you go back to Greenify, the previously shallow hibernated app that was force closed is now under the section of the normal hibernation, no longer under shallow hibernation.
All fine on my side, MM and Nougat Xiaomis, I don't know about Oreo. I think Greenify is still needed for Xiaomi with Oreo, since Xiaomi seems to walk a different path than the others.

I have over 200 apps in my phone. So there are a lot of apps that need to be 'greenified'. And I've noticed that if you go into developer settings and disable 'miui optimisations', then greenify works perfectly. But for the rest, even if the app is open in the background and you select the option to hibernate it, the force close button is greyed out and nothing happens

Oh, yes, I forgot, of course I have MIUI OPtimizations disabled, always, less problems for me. All rooted too, with Greenify4Magisk, and some module to allow Play Services to be dozed.
Well, if an app cannot be force closed in the MIUI settings, then it is something else preventing it from being closed, and Greenify cannot override it. Gboard (Google Keyboard if used) I think is an example, if I remember. Only a few, and system apps which I would not touch anyway. I don't greenify important user message apps like Messenger or Whatsapp, though, I also Whitelist them from deep doze, just playing safe.
Excluding system apps, I have only a few user apps, less than 40 for sure. All greenified except a few I don't want greenified. As for system apps,
I froze many of them that I will never use and safe to freeze of course, surely stronger than doze or hibernate.

Ridiculous and counterproductive greenifying a huge app suite. Focus on those that demonstrate bad behaviors; ignore the rest.
