I'm sorry if this is a common issue but I have looked here and elsewhere for an answer.
I have a Galaxy S4 running stock Lollipop, rooted. My problem is in the settings Greenify keeps being deactivated in Accessibility/Services. I have 'frozen' Samsung Smart Manager because I thought that was causing the problem but it doesn't seem to be. I am not running any other system manager apps. Furthermore I have even tried wiping my phone and running it for the weekend with only the stock apps on it, then adding Titanium so I could freeze some apps like Knox and Smart Manager.
Any advice would be appreciated.

On a rooted device running Greenify in either root or boost mode, Accessibility will not remain enabled. It is required to be enabled only when you run Greenify in non rooted mode.

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.
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.

Reflashed the ROM. Had other strange stuff going on.
Trying to debloat without root on Lollipop 5.1.1 using debloater
Hi fellas,
I have been using the Debloater program to disable apps on my (unrooted) Samsung Galaxy Note5 (Verizon). The program recognizes my phone and when I disable an app, it is sent to the Disabled section in Applications -> Application Manager. The problem is that when the phone sleeps or is rebooted, all the disabled apps reappear. I assume a system service is restarting them, but I have no clue which service that is and I don't want to go through blindly disabling the 350+ (!!) apps preinstalled with the phone. The only app I found that may be responsible is 'PreloadInstaller.apk', which I disabled to no avail.
Does anyone have any idea what app or apps are responsible for restarting the unwanted applications? I really don't want to resort to rooting my phone if possible, and definitely don't want to ROM it. This phone is almost $700; I don't want to permanently mess it up in any way.
After I root a phone, I would like to be able to uninstall/remove some stock apps (for example, stock Messaging app) and add some new apps (for example, 3d-party Messaging app).
Do I need Titanium app to achieve that? Or is there something more lightweight?
After I complete the setup, I want to disable/ restrict any further software changes. Pretty much the same as Window OS "Admin" VS "Standard User"
So I guess I would need some app manager capable of permission managing.
Any advice on my project? Will my phone be as stable as the original stock after such modding?
The phones: Moto E2 and Moto G2 and G3, Android 5.01 or 6.01
Well, Backing Up the Stock Content before doing any Modding to your Phone is a Good Practice and Extremely Recommended in Case of any worst case scenarios and you can achieve the same by Titanium Back or any Other app Readily available on Play Store.
After Back up, Yes, you can Uninstall PreInstalled apps or any other bloatware that you may don't want in your phone. And Install 3rd Party apps in place of stock Ones.
Talking about Permissions, until/unless you give Root Access to that App, it won't be able to Make any changes in the System. So, you also have to keep a check on giving Root permissions to apps.
Your Phone Will remain stable When you know what actually you are doing with it and what measures could be taken to revert it.

Once the phone is rooted, will I be able to block/restrict both: uninstalling apps (which are already installed) and installing new apps? The phone will be used by my kids, so I want to prevent them from making any phone changes.

You can't restrict to install and uninstall apps. As abhinavp649 said the application makes modifications to the system if you give root permission to them. If you are using SuperSU superuser app then you can set pin to grant root permission to the app from the settings of supersu

To Prevent app from uninstalling the best way is to hide it From Home screen Or Make that as System.
And Revoke SU permissions from those apps which can uninstall system apps or any similar one.
Hit thanks if Helped :laugh:

Installing an App as system is a easy and you can find tools easily on play store. Just search 'make app system' or something else similar.
Using GPS to prevent Turn off? I think you are expecting too too much out of a device.
However, you can disable Power Off from options you get by holding lock button.
To do this You Have to Install Xposed Framework in your Device.
Xposed Framework allows you to do Amazing modding to your Android device. You can just do everything with the device(Exceptions are always present)

If you are thinking of turning on GPS for the sake of tracking your kids, then make sure you tell them you are doing so. Have known a few people that got into legal trouble for not doing so.
In the end if the kids are smart enough there will be nothing you can really do as they can just reset the device and everything you did is gone.

So, can I prevent that by disabling/removing or password-protecting the option of "Factory Reset" on a rooted Android 6.0?

No. You can not restrict or disable factory data reset option by any ways even you are rooted. Some brands like Samsung gives FRP (factory reset protection) to their device. Devices without FRP easily factory data reset by entering in recovery mode or in settings.
Hi Experts,
I have a question about a Samsung A3 2016 (sm-a310f). On this device there are tons of apps installed mainly by the provider without option to uninstall them.
Is there any way to uninstall them without rooting the device?
And if not and I have to root the device how can I unroot it again ?
The device is used also for online banking apps which might not work after the root any longer.
So any help is highly appreciated.
cheers
Sabine
and PS what is the issue with this Knox counter?
It is possible to go into settings then apps (on my note 8). Then disable individual apps. Also in launcher you may need to hide apps you can't disable. If storage space is not the problem then just disable. Uninstalling some apps can cause Carrier up dates to glitch.
I use BkPackage disabler and save a profile. One click and all selected are enabled or disabled.

There is no way to delete preinstalled apps without ROOT access. You can only freeze or disable them. Look for Magisk (systemless root), it can be easily installed and deleted if needed.

Yes, you can. There's actually an XDA article written on this very topic. It works for most, though, it may not work for all. Give it a shot, and if it doesn't work... root, remove whatever you need to, and unroot. Just use Magisk if you need to go this route. It can unroot itself. Here's the guide.
