I've installed Greenify + Donation Package on Huawei Ascend P8 Lite and I have issues with Automated Hibernation.
Phone is rooted, but I run Greenify in non-root mode, because I plan to unroot the phone once I finish all customizations. Activating Greenify - Automated Hibernation in Accessibility menu has effect and enables Greenify to hibernate apps, but minutes after I lock the screen, this ability is lost and Automated Hibernation is again turned off.
Same thing happened on my former phone (EE Kestrel), but then I just assumed my android version was outdated and some (new) features just don't work.
What I did trying to fix the issue, was to clean cache, data, then uninstall and reinstall back Greenify. It didn't help.
Please advise.
Same here with a Sony Xperia M4 Aqua on Lollipop :-/
Do either of you have LuckyPatcher or other warez?
Me no :-/ It's my professional smartphone, I don't install such stuff.
@chennai no, not such apps (LuckyPatcher ). So, should investigate in another direction.
Read this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/greenify/auto-hibernation-service-stopped-message-t2880017
See whether any of the solutions mentioned there works for you.

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.
Hi, Greenify is suddenly not hibernating my apps automatically (nor manually). Version 6.2.1.
I have a kindle fire hd with fire os 4.5.3. Not rooted.
Greenify is device administrator and its service under accessibility is on. I have restarted my kindle several times already to no avail. I have even purchased the donation package.
I have tried installing an older version but it behaves the same way (apps just flash for a split second in Greenify's screen but they stay active when pressing the ZZZ button).
It used to work ok yesterday. When pressing the ZZZ button, the application manager used to pop up and you could see how the apps where stopped one by one. This doesn't happen anymore. Could it be the donation package interfering? Can I get it uninstalled?
Please help!
Thanks in advance.
Installed Greenify for the first time last night on my rooted Nexus 6 running CM13 12/25 nightly.
After installing, I hibernated a few apps (instagram, twitter, google maps). I turned the phone off and next thing I know it automatically rebooted by itself. Upon restart, SIM card error occurred and of course no mobile data or cell phone service. Restarting the phone did not fix the issue. Uninstalling the program fixed the issue. Any ideas?

Which version of Greenify are you running and in which mode?
Do you have the donation package?
Did you enable GCM service or Aggressive Doze?
Have you installed Xposed?

Greenify v2.7.1 (the newest version on the play store)
Not sure which mode -- whatever mode is default. The SIM card error occurred before I had a chance to even play with settings.
Not donation package.
Did not enable GCM service or Aggressive Doze -- like I said, didn't have a chance to even mess with settings.
Did not install Xposed -- it didn't mention having to install Xposed in the playstore description, so I didn't -- is it necessary?

CM13 seems to have issues with a few apps. May be the current beta of Greenify 2.8.beta7 may solve your issue.
Default mode depends on your root status. If you are unrooted, it is 'non root', if you are rooted, it is 'root'.
Xposed is not mandatory for Greenify but when enabled in Xposed, Greenify gets some more options to play with like hibernating system apps.

Sorry I didn't realize what you meant by mode -- it was in "root" mode.
Maybe I'll try out the beta version, thank you!
Hi guys !
I have been using Greenify for quite some time now and finally decided to get the Donation Package in order to unlock some more advanced features.
There's no way to know (or so I think), but I guess deep hibernation, at least, works fine. However, even though "Greenify system apps" is ticked, the only change I noticed in the wizard is SuperSU, which appears when ticking the box in the right up corner menu. I did reboot several times, but with no luck.
As for my configuration, my device is a Honor 5C L51 on Android Marshmallow. I use the EMUI stock ROM (v4.1.2 at the moment) and Nova Launcher Prime.
Do one of you guys have any idea how I can greenify my system apps ? Or is it normal that only SuperSU appears on that list ? I do understand that these options are experimental, but if there is something I misunderstood to get this working, please let me know.
Thank you for your time.

- is device rooted?; can't hibernate most system apps w/o root
- make sure working mode is set to 'root' in settings
- if still no joy consider making Greenify a 'system' app which gives Greenify some additional powers if not running Xposed
- that said there are few (often no) system apps that benefit from hibernation

Thank you for your answer.
I am root and Greenify's working mode is "Root + Boost (Xposed). I'm confused about what you're saying though, how can one change an app priviledge from user to system ?

If you have Xposed there is no benefit to migrating the Greenify apk to the system partition. Make sure Greenify actually has root permissions. Change the working mode to 'non-root' and then removed the related entry from SuperSU (or whatever root manager you are using). Return to Greenify and select boost mode [or whatever is need to return to "Root + Boost (Xposed)"]. You should get a SuperSU prompt ... either immediately or when attempting to manually hibernate an app.

Just did all that and nothing changed. I also tried to untick the "Greenify system apps" option box and tick it again with no luck. However, I noticed that I could actually make SuperSU appear and disappear from the list of greenifying apps like I mentioned in my first post even if the box is unticked.

Not much more to say. Either: 1) you have no system apps running aside from SuperSU [seems unlikely]; or 2) Greenify does not have sufficient permissions to see and act upon system apps. Good luck chasing this one down.
SuperSU typically runs as a user app regardless of how Greenify characterizes it. You can check current status from within SuperSU.
hey everybody!
running taimen 8.1 rooted stock with the greenify magisk module and (ofc) the app from the playstore. whenever enabling aggressive doze in greenify settings, it gets reset to "off" after a reboot.
anyone knows why?
thanks!
I have been searching for hours if there is an answer for that, no luck so far.
My Xiaomi phones have most apps that came with it as unoptimized, and when you optimize them, they get reset after a boot. Same with user apps that we install, I unoptimize important apps like Whatsapp, but after a reboot, it gets reset to optimized.
My Asus phone is the opposite, all apps including Google services are Optimized, and for my user apps as well as system apps that I set, they don't get reset after reboot.
No problem to set it all over again, IF I rarely reboot. Unfortunately, Xiaomi gives me weekly developer rom updates, and I have 4 Xiaomis to update. I also like to backup using TWRP, saved me countless times when I accidentally screw up the phone (and Titanium Backup to restore more recent updates backed up).
I can systemize the app in question and it will stick, but I've a phobia now for systemizing apps.
Does anyone knows where the system stores the information we set for Battery Optimization ? i.e. which file, directory ...
