Does greenify to be turned on in accessibility services? - Greenify

So it appears to be working okay on my rooted 6p but I saw that it's turned off in accessibility. Should I turn that on? Or will it work okay with it being off?

From my understanding, that option is for users who do not have root access. It enables Greenify to work somewhat without root access.
If I am incorrect, someone please chime in.

Slight correction.
That option is to be enabled only if you use Greenify in non root mode. You may have root but still choose to run Greenify in non root mode in which case that option is to be enabled.

Wow! You are correct. I had it enabled on my rooted devices, thinking that it needed to be enabled for automated hibernation to work. In the accessibility settings window for greenify, there is no mention of only for non root mode.
I have disabled it now.
Thanks!

SetCPU issues with temp root

I tried using setCPU to enable profiles for screen off and the like. It works, but there are some issues.
When actually using the phone, I get constant notifications the setCPU has been given root privileges. Like it is constantly needing to re-ask super user for root permissions.
Anyone else seen this behavior?

Normal.
If it bothers you turn off notifications in Superuser

Normal for temp root? I have never had this issue before, I have always rooted my phones straight away. I see the notification pop up at least 2-3 times a minute.
Yes temp root. Perm root is fine because it gets it once and holds it.
I noticed a lot of awake time when I have it running, so I uninstalled until perm root.

Setting debug mode

I noticed a lot of custom ROMs that are configured to automatically turn on debug mode on boot. All the ROMs I've tried set that option even after I uncheck it manually and reboot. I'd rather only turn it on when needed (I know when it's needed). What's the setting that control this?

This should be posted in the q & a section or general, I'm sure someone will give you a hard time about it. But are you asking how to disable ADB? It sounds like you know how to disable it already. Is the setting not sticking for you after reboot?

Screen Unlocking in Pocket

Just recently my phone has started to unlock in my pocket and when I pull it out there are tons of programs open. I'm running stock.314 rooted but been rooted for couple of months now with no issues.
Check if you have accidentally enabled gloves mode. Settings - screen - enable gloves mode.
Unchecked it.

That was one of the first things I checked lol. It's not enabled
Then maybe you have a rogue app. That enables your screen. Then it's easy for it to get unlocked. Just saying

Yes I've been disabling apps and testing. Still no culprit.
Maybe you have the double tap to unlock feature on and turning on while walking??
Or the dedicated camera button. I've had that happen to me a couple times where I pull out my phone and the camera app is launched.

Do you have any applications that wake your phone when getting notifications? Try disabling all your data and see if it still happens. And for a temporary fix, maybe put a PIN so you're phone doesn't just unlock
Yes pin or may be a pattern?

Greenify 2.5 beta 2 don't turn off display in impulse mode

Hi there,
Last beta don't turn off display after hibernate in bost mode.
In root mode works fine.
Verified admin privileges
Same issue here with today's beta. Boost mode enabled, hibernate+lock screen shortcut only hibernate. Verified admin privileges for greenify.
Sent from my VS980 4G
+1 here.
Yep.
Running a Nexus 7 2013 with Cyanogenmod 11 Official with current nightly. Also running a Samsung Galaxy S3 Mini (SM-G730V) on Verizon running 4.4.2 Stock Firmware but rooted with Towelroot, using Super SU 2.14 with Xposed installed. Can also confirm the Hibernate + Lock shortcut does not lock the screen on either system. It hibernates the apps and I get a toast message saying as much, but the screen refuses to shut off. On both systems I verified SuperSU had granted permission to Greenify and that Greenify was enabled as an administrator under security settings. If you need any logs, let me know and I'll be glad to help.
Same here. Hibernate + lock screen does not work in any mode. Hibernate apps, but screen still on. Alps a9500 stock Chinese rom.
i'm using xperia z2, apps hibernated but screen wont turn off
My Nexus 4 also has the same issue. @oasisfeng, it seems that 2.5 beta 2 is having a bug.
My Nexus 5 also has the same issue.

Only works in root mode ..

5.1 update keep disabling mobile data

Hi fokls,
I recently updated to 5.1 ( Lollipop). I am on Tmobile and for some reasons, the mobile data setting kept getting disabled frequently.
Anyone knows what to do to fix the issue. I have tried pure stock as well as with root. None of them seems to fix the issue.

Just want to confirm, I have this problem too. Also on T-Mobile.
Edit: is it really just the setting that gets disabled? I have been rebooting to fix it.

Why don't you enable airplane mode and then disable instead of rebooting. It might work.

I tried that, it didn't work. I'm waiting on it to happen again to see if I can just re-enable mobile data.
Even if I can, this is still a very annoying problem. You'll miss a lot of emails, and messages. Yet another reason you might not want Lollipop

Its strange though. But if you go to the setting, then mobile data, you will see that it is turned off. Turning it back on, will re-enable it. I dont know why it does it though. No need for air plane toggle.
Is there any possibility this problem could be tied to a default power-saving setting that is turning mobile data off to conserve battery?
Just a thought.

I did two things, but I haven't had this happen since I did them.
1. Renamed HwPowerGenieEngine3.apk and HwPowerGenieEngine3.odex to disable them. (just add .bak to the end) They are located in "root/system/app/HwPowerGenieEngine3/" and "/<SAME/ARM/"
2. Enabled the option in Mobile Network settings to "Always-on mobile data"
Like I said, I don't know for sure if either really fixed it, but I haven't been having this problem for the past 2 days.
#1 . do I need root to rename the files?

yes, that requires root
I have no answer for you but, I am on T-Mobile and that's not happening to me. My WiFi becomes disabled sometimes/rarely. Also USB debugging gets disabled as soon as I back out of the settings for it. This is on B309.
My friend and I both using HAM2 on Wind, still on 4.3. Phone signal (not only Data) frequently turned itself off, then turned back on after a minute or longer.
Could it be the AWS (1700) frequency not reacting well to Huawei power genie?
I tried using "Normal" instead of "Smart" power saving scheme but no joy. Just froze "Power Genie" app via Titanium Backup. I think it turns the power saving feature off completely. Will monitor to see if it helps. I'll trade network stability for shorter battery life.
Apparently this problem is getting worse with Lollipop update.
