Which apps to whitelist for aggressive doze? - Greenify

Hey guys. I used to use aggressive doze, but it seemed like I was having a problem getting alarm/timer notifications. To make sure I don't miss important notifications are there other services I need to be sure to whitelist besides the clock app, phone app, etc.?

Normally you don't have to whitelist anything except those apps from which you need notifications. Google Play Services which is required for notifications, is already whitelisted.
Apps which are made compatible to MM's Doze function need not specifically be whitelisted. So even the phone app and clock app need not be whitelisted if they are Google's. Only third party apps which have not been made compatible (from which you need notifications) need to be whitelisted.

I've noticed that if you navigate with the screen off, whatever app you are using to navigate will get Dozed until you wake the device, so I'd whitelist whatever navigation app you use if you navigate with your screen off. Otherwise, as tnsmani said, I haven't found a good reason to whitelist any other apps.

Yes, the whitelist option isn't working properly. It doesn't matter which 3rd party app you are trying to be in a whitelist, it won't show any notification until you turn your screen ON.

[Q] disable notifications for all apps at once

Can you disable app notifications for all apps at once? I can't stand going into apps then tap on each app then tap disable notifications for each and every app. There's gotta be a better easier way to do this.
Android 4.x

Not without a custom rom and then you can only disable all notifications and that means emails, text everything. Other then that no. You have to shut each one off.
Thanks.
I found on my galaxy tab s 10.5 it has this ability. It's for everything. Do not disturb. This is in android 5 so I'm looking forward to it. I saw an app in the app store that sounds neat with profiles.
I'd like to try a rom or just go root for my galaxy tab s 10.5 but don't want to mess things up.

Keep Notifications

Hi, xda
I have some problem with Greenify.I have installed greenify xposed module but feature "Keep Notifications" doesn't work for me.When i greenify Whatsapp or Messenger, i don't get notifications from these apps,..
After an app is in deep sleep it cannot send any notifications. The keep notification function just keeps a notification of an app even if it will be set to deep sleep

Whatsapp and Facebook have their own way of doing things. They don't use the normal Android methods. And every update changes something, becoming more uncontrollable. So you will be better off not hibernating these two and using only the settings within these apps.
My case is different. I don't use either of them.

China ROM Notification issues

(new here and to OPPO)
Got the china ROM and I have quickly realized that notifications were locked up very tightly. Even after turning everything off/allowing notifications, notifications still don't work on lock screen.
I have:
Turned off Power Smart Saver
Custom Power Saving > Allow Background Running
Manage Notifications > Allow Notifications > Display on Lock screen
Battery > App quick freeze > Turn auto freeze off
Anyone have a solution or do I have to put up with the fact that the china rom is inferior
Which notification are you having issue with?
Did you disabled anything using adb?
I disabled com.coloros.athena
And im getting my Gmail and calendar notification somewhat reliable.

What does disabling com.coloros.athena do?
Edit:just found what Athena supposedly does, removing this fixed it for you?
Edit2:

According to running processes in the developer options, it looks like com.coloros.athena is responsible for killing background processes. I will have to look into this further tomorrow.
EDIT: I deleted com.coloros.athena together with com.coloros.safecenter and com.coloros.oppoguardelf. Looks like Tasker is running in the background now (though it is using a suspiciously small amount of ram compared with previous phones I have).

Using this I have got some more notifications to behave more normally, but things like SoundCloud player will sometimes decide not to show up, is there anything more I can do?

I'm getting my Gmail and calendar pretty consistently....
Also the messenger that im using (Viber)
It also seem that it learns what app you use the most and kinda know to let notification through..

I actually had the same problem with my Oppo Find X. I use the Android Version 8.1.0 with the ColorOS Version V5.2.1.
Step 1: Go to Settings --> Battery --> Turn Off "Smart Power Saver" --> go to Custom Power Consumption Protection --> Select WhatsApp --> Tick "Allow Background Running"
Step 2: Go to Settings --> Battery --> Select "App quick freeze" --> disable WhatsApp
Step 3: On your Phone you have 3 Buttons, the one where you can go back, the other to get to Home Screen and the other one, where we can check our opened windows we use right now.
We need to open WhatsApp once, just to see it as an opened window, now use the third button i told you and use you finger to push the WhatsApp window DOWN. There you have the option to "Lock" the
App. That means, the App will be opened all the time without getting freezed and you can get messages. Remember to Manage the Notifications of WhatsApp in the Settings, like "Display on Lockscreen" and
"Display at the Top of the Screen"
I hope i was able to help you or other Persons. If you have questions, message me on: [email protected]

How to hide persistent notifications but still have them in background?

I have many persistent notifications where the app won't work if it's hidden - E.g. Adguard, Lastpass, Whatsapp and more.
Is there any other way to hide them but still have a full functioning app in background? Using P30 Pro currently.

You mean hiding the notification using notification controls make the app stop working ? I used to hide the spotify player from appearing in my notification shade, but the music kept playing. Maybe let them open in your recent apps menu. Also check in the "Battery optimisation settings. Usually apps stops working because it's stopped by battery optimization.
nope, battery optimization is disabled but if it's not kept running in the background USING persistent notifications, the app will be killed.
anyone knows how to hide all these pesky notifications?

Question Consistently get notifications Find N2?

New here. Any help would be appreciated. I have followed videos and other posts but still can't consistently get notifications unless the app is open in the background. Any way around that besides locking it? Are we just limited to 5 apps that get consistent notifications by locking them in the background?
There are 10 apps (can't change the apps) that Oppo gives you the option to auto launch. If enabled these 10 apps will always display notifications. You can then select another 5 from all your other apps.
Before I got rid of the phone I downloaded an app to autolaunch a bunch of my apps so it's running in the background.
any way to set NOVA Launcher or other third party launcher as default here ?
Dear OPPO if you are reading here: Please release OTA to fix this problem as you just made on Android 13 and Find N1 ....

You can further lock 5 apps in the recent apps so that the system doesn't kill them and you'll get the notifications. In addition I would suggest to deactivate all battery optimisations for the apps you wish to receive the notifications:
Settings - apps - app management - you choose the desired app - battery usage - activate allow background activity.
Then you go to App - associated launch ( this is valid for the apps for which you DIDN'T allow auto launch) and enable it for the apps you wish to get the notifications for.
Lastly go to Battery - more settings - optimize battery use and for the apps you wish to get the notifications you need to choose "don't optimise".
Hope it helps

Unless the apps are running in the background (excluding the ones that you set to autolaunch), even with battery optimisation disabled etc you will not get timely notifications.

Yeah that's what I have noticed. I'm toying with the idea to use a secondary phone to get my notifications. Don't want to go through the hassle of sending it back.
I've had mine a week now and I'm getting used to only getting limited notifications. I just can't get my head around why they prioritise battery life over receiving notifications in China? I've always kept notifications to a minimum on my phones but 5 apps just isn't enough. You need a couple of messaging apps, maybe social media, banking etc to alert you to suspicious activity, they soon add up.
