Hey. The title says the most. Which System apps (there are so many) can i Greenify on my Xperia z5 premium with root and xposed without crashing the phone (reboots or so)?
Should i upload a list which apps are there to make it easier for you?

My advice is, don't. I haven't greenified any system apps.
Many of them will crash the system and there are no standard lists for greenifying system apps. It all will depend on your particular scenario.
If you are adventurous and have a nandroid backup, try one by one.

Hi everyone, like the title says, I want to know how you can stop FB from being active all the time. There are allways 2 processes running and if you stop them, after a while they come back.
What is the best thing you can do? I don't want to delete it, I just want it to be active when I use it and deactivate it afterwards.
Grtz
Why does it matter that its running?

Isn't there an option under development in settings where you can set it to kill every app when you exit it? I've never tried it so I don't know how it works.

I've used that option a few times when background applications are slowing down my games. I usually get a lot of messages following up after saying "Unfortunately, X has stopped." over and over until I turn it back off.
Do you want it to stop to save ram or to save data?

To save RAM and to save battery life off course!
Also Maps, Update Center And Office Suite are allways running. I want them to be inactive unless I need them.
Just remove it and use Friendcaster, WAY better.

Go to settings - apps - all and click on maps - disable, office suite - uninstall, facebook - disable, update center - force stop, and after you do this, go to running apps, kill them and then go to cache and clear this apps from there.. They won't start again.. Remove all the bloatware like foursquare, wisepilot etc which you dont need.. You can also disable timescape feeds, picasa and twitter.
And an advice.. Download ex-dialer and then disable contacts and phone.. You would love it
I have some questions..can anybody point out as which are ohk to freeze and which are not? Coz somedays back i tried freezing some apps and my Playstore app started giving me weird errors as 406-cant download. Find out later that you cant freeze Package Installer or Package Access Helper. Unfroze them again and its all good. Anywayz here are some apps which am highly doubtful about..

Hi all,
What I want to do: remove all Timescape elements from stock Sony ROM safely (avoiding force closes, not random deletion)
Why: I noticed that a Sony executive announced a week or two ago that their 2013 phones will not have Timescape running through the phone because it did result in performance lag. Instead they will use one app for the same purpose. I want to test removing the lag in my phone by removing anything Timescape.
News on Timescape: http://www.xperiablog.net/2013/01/14/rip-timescape-long-live-socialife/
You need a rooted device and an explorer with root access like ES Explorer in order to delete the apk files in the System/App directory. You can find more information at the bottom of the first post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546253&highlight=bloatware.
I would recommend not to delete them actually just in case you want something back. In my case I have only change the file extension so the app won't start. For example gmail.apk has been renamed to gmail.apk1
A few months ago I clicked 'allow Facebook to sync with contacts' and similar options, I thought some features were useful. I tried disabling them all today and it has already made a helpful boost in performance. The true test will be a few days performance.
What I did was root my phone. Then I used an app manager that would allow me to disable system apps. That way I could easily restore any app that are really required. Anything with time scape or Facebook got disabled. I also disabled all system apps that were available from the app store.

No need to root. Just goto the app manager and disable all timescape items and anything else not needed.
I rooted and used Titanium Backup where I uninstalled all "Timescape"-related (appr. 5-6 entries...)
Root needed to delete

You still need root to delete system apps. Once you have disabled them and decided that causes no issues, deleting them will free up a little space.
A few days ago I disabled as much Timescape as I could and so far it really does remove a lot of lag. The phone is already usable...
It can be nice seeing friend's Facebooks pictures etc. in your phonebook but the lag is not worth it. :victory:
Hello,
So, my question is, when I try to kill a process with 3rd party task managers, such as ES Task Manager and Android Tuner, the process gets killed for a moment, and the re-starts again. For example Google+ process. When I kill Google+ on Android Tuner, it starts again after a while.
But when I kill a process with android's default task manager (which is located in Settings --> Apps) it gets killed permanently, till I reboot my phone.
How can I do that same thing with 3rd party Task Managers?
I HAVE a working root and root permissions via SuperSU.
Check out greenify from the play store. It essentially hibernates any apps you choose until you start them. Works best with root.

install titanium backup. You can disable almost all of the processes and even system apps, but make sure to choose which apps to disable or uninstall.

I know Greenify, I use it but it doesn't show many apps... Just primary apps installed on the phone. I need something much more detailed.

I know Titanium Backup aswell, I use it but I'm asking about killing a process, not disabling it.
I wonder what's the difference between Android system task manager and a 3rd party task manager with root permissions. Aren't they both supposed to do the same thing?

Have you clicked "show more apps" at the bottom?
(translation may differ since i'm not using english)
It's actually working when it comes to manually hibernating the apps but it won't automatically hibernate apps when on sleep no matter how long it was. Any workaround for this or is there something that I've missed? It was working fine when I was still on my rooted KK.
My phone is Xperia z3 Compact (D5833).

I also sometimes have this but only with system apps. Third party apps have no issue.
From observing the SuperSU logs, I find that Greenify fired and closed the apps but when you open Greenify, they will be shown as running the whole time. May be it is an issue with how they are reported when you open Greenify.
I am running Greenify in Boost mode with official Xposed and donation pack on 5.0.1 in a Nexus 4.

Well in my case, I opened Clash of clans, closed it, then put my phone to sleep for 30mins. I did not remove it from the running services tab/ nor did I hibernate it. I went back to see if it was hibernated automatically but it wasn't and I also checked SuperSU, it did not show anything with regards to greenify.
What is the safest way to de-bloat the phone? What apps are people using to remove unneeded apps? For example I don't use Google TV. Is it safe to uninstall or just freeze? There is Systemless Debloater but I'm not sure if it's fully comparable.

I use Systemless Debloater.
In the begining I tested it on as many devices I could.
- Few Pixel(s), OnePlus(s), Motorola and Xiaomi devices.
- I know someone who is currently using it on a Samsung S20+ (now on Android 13).
The module was just recently updated to handle a new OnePlus (ColorOS ?) directory.
/system/my_bigball
Since it is systemless, it is safe and fairly easy to use.
The hardest part is finding the app name you want to debloate.
Cheers.
Edit:
PS.
I might be a little bias though.

I use SD Maid Pro and freeze apps, because a) it isn't possible to delete apps from the system partition, and b) it's safer than trying to remove the apps permanently.
+1 for the freeze option. Less likely to cause any issues and if it does, it's easy to unfreeze. Fwiw, 3C Toolbox also offers the freeze/unfreeze function as should most decent app managers. I'll let most factory included apps remain until they show up on my wake-lock more often than I think they should or is necessary. It's all about battery 4 me...the more my phone stays in light doze/doze or deep sleep WITHOUT causing any late or missing notifications the better. I try to stay in that 'sweet spot' as far as the battery goes.
even frozen apps still run. i have google play services and framework frozen and they still hammer my firewall.
makes you feel better about it though..
