Normally system apps can be un-greenified and if the phone is restarted, it should work. Since you don't know the name of the service that you greenified, you can uninstall Greenify and restart the phone or you can un-greenify every app that you greenified and restart the phone.
If it doesn't work, either a factory reset or in the worst case scenario, reflashing the ROM should solve it.

Hi there,
I'm curious if it is possible to install an app so that it will be there, even if the phone is wiped (either from the phone or CWM/TWRP). I don't care if the phone must be rooted or the app needs to be pushed to system apps or integrated in the rom. It's basically because I want to make my own phone tracking software that sends me the position periodically or after SIM was changed. I heard that cerberus was capable of doing that (or at least not being uninstalled wihtout authorization).
It's not about just getting an app like that, but the fun, developing it myself. A friend of mine was robbed recently, so I got interested in that stuff...
So, is there any way to make an app stick after wipe?
Thx in advance

System apps won't be affected by a factory reset, a wipe of the system partition will obviously remove it though. This would require the phone to be rooted.Also, apps which require you to add as admin (try installing avast interface), can't be uninstalled unless that option is turned off.
Hello again.
I'm experiencing a new problem with my phone that is becoming very aggravating because it seemingly occurred when I did nothing unusual or risky with my phone. Every time I update an app in the google play store, my phone locks up and will reboot itself. Sometimes it will remain frozen until I hold down the power button myself. This problem also happens when uninstalling apps and installing apps, but it doesn't do it regularly. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. But the phone will always freeze when updating apps. Like I said, I have done nothing risky with the phone. I haven't installed or removed any apps that require superuser access. I haven't downloaded anything to my phone. All I have done is install a few apps here and there from the store, evaluate if I like them or not, and decide if I want to keep them. Recently I haven't been keeping new ones, so I promptly remove them. Out of nowhere this problem shows up when I tried to install another app (thought maybe the app caused it so I got rid of it), and now the updates freeze my phone.
The apps successfully update each time, but immediately after the process finishes, the phone locks up. After rebooting, the updates are saved and the apps aren't corrupt or anything. What can be causing this to happen? Everything on my phone was working flawlessly, and now this problem is seriously hindering the usability of my phone and I don't understand what went wrong.
My phone is the Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy S2 4G SPH-D710. It is rooted and is running the stock ROM.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi there,
Have you tried clearing the cache for Google Play Store in Application manager? Try this first! You could also try (I assume you also have a working CWM recovery or similar?) wiping cache and dalvik in recovery!

I've already wiped the cache, data, and even tried uninstalling updates for Google Play and Google Play services. Made no difference.
As for dalvik, I'm not sure what that means. Any pointers would be helpful!

The dalvik cache will probably be under Advanced in Recovery

I don't have CWM recovery. Sorry I didn't know what you meant when you asked that.
Sorry if bumping or double posting isn't allowed, but I wanted to update this thread.
I think I may have solved the issue. Makes no sense as to why it happened or how it's even related to what I did. I racked my brain for the most recent things I installed on my phone and the only app that came to mind was Cut the Rope. It was the last thing I could remember that installed fine. I removed it and nothing locked up. Then I tried updating one of my apps and presto. No freeze or reboot. Then I installed an app from the play store and it worked perfectly. Did it multiple times with no error. I feel like Android is so temperamental that if I even look at it wrong something will break. -_- I don't know. Maybe being rooted has something to do with it, but my guts don't want to believe it.
I'll put "solved" in the title once I keep using my phone and make sure it's working correctly. If so, I suppose the moral to this problem is just uninstall anything recent from your phone if you experience similar issues. Wish I could know the technical cause though.

Lets hope you have it sorted now:good:
Hello there! I have been having a bit of a problem lately. I own a BLU Dash 5.0 simunlocked from factory. It's a double sim model, which I have two sims, since the companies are spanish, let's call them Green Sim and Blue Sim (since that's how they are color coded in my status bar). It is also running Android Jelly Bean 4.2. Here is the problem. Ever since of March 20, a Chinese app appeared on my home screen, I don't know how, something called "Mobile Video" but the content was in a foreign Asian language. I suspect of my friend since I lent it to him for 15 minutes and then it appeared. Aside of this, the wifi and the Green Sim 3G was turned on.
I clicked on the app curious of it was something my friend downloaded from me, but then the app prompted me two options, I didn't know what it said since again, it was Asian. Next, I proceeded to uninstall it, going to my apps list, I was surprised to see another mysterious app, "Push_Down", that was the name. I uninstalled both Mobile Video and Push_Down. I thought I fixed the problem. Wrong.
Next day when I woke up, I found two new apps on my homescreen, and again, the Wifi and Green Sim 3G was on.These were Chinese also. I uninstalled them both and found once again "Push_Down" in my apps. After I uninstalled them, I thought the problem was finally fixed. Wrong again. Since this event, about every 2 or 3 hours, my Wifi and Green Sim 3G turn on automatically, but haven't downloaded anything new, one, because I have no credit left, and two, I have no internet at home. Ever since, daily I wake up, the same problem, the Wifi and 3G are on. I checked my SD Card, I checked my Phone Storage, both with 2 Antivirus (Avast!, and Lookout Mobile) and with Addons Detector. Surprisingly, nothing has appeared.
My last option is what hurts me most, to reset my phone, which I don't want to do since I have lots of apps installed, progress made with certain games and etc, etc. Also, I am not a root user, so I haven't rooted and won't root my phone.
Now, can anyone please help me? I am very annoyed at this happening everyday!
same problem...cheinese apps keep reinstalling
I too have had this problem for a few weeks now. Got a Chinese smartphone for Christmas (ok i know thats the first mistake, but it was worth a try for the money). mfaction royale mp720 (mpie comes up on the startup screen). Anyway i realised there where a few Chinese apps that came with it (pinyin and a app with a orange icon with a squirrel logo on it) so i unistalled these without problem. One chinese app i couldn't uninstall so i disabled it in the app settings
Everything had been working fine without problem and had been very happy with the phone until a week or so ago. started getting the apps described above installing. These include 'push_down' 'push_collect' 'filegogo' 'mobile video' and some others with chinese writing on them. I also get my phone setting itself to mute when these apps reappear. Keep uninstalling them but they keep coming back. Have tried AVG and Antimalware but they only flag things up as they install themselves, not the thing thats doing the installing. I thought that google account might be a problem so changed password and reset my phone to factory default. As a test i didn't connect back to google account. No joy. Although some apps have not reappeared some have and this morning a new one so i don't think its google account.
I did read some Chinese phones can have the malware embedded into the firmware but it's been fine for months. Perhaps there is a delay so your not likely to send the phone back then the malware begins. If this is the case then the only way round would be to root the phone then find the app or apps that are doing this. Not sure if it's easy to root one of these phones.
Anyone else had these symptoms after a full factory reset?. Anyone been able to sort it out? Anyone know of a guide to root his phone?
Hmmmmm....

Actually, as much as my experience from rooting, I haven't done it once again after a bad event I had, like almost bricking an old phone I had which for my good luck there was a way to restore it Ever since, I won't root anymore unless there exists a ROM backup by the manufacturer. But still, I don't know what's causing this. My phone has been fine since stock, I have more than 2 months with it! The problem started since last Thursday, which is why I suspect it's an app I downloaded or ad I clicked on. Any ideas?
(Also, thanks for your reply )
Hi,
Greenify randomly makes the alarms not working and some push notifications of the apps even though they aren't greenified,so what can I do to fix that ?
you´re f***, there´s some problem with samsung and the rom gets screwed installing greenify, and the developer doesn´t answer anyone about this. im s6 stock and after installed greenify the phone goes totally muted, until open app the message doesnt arrives.

Err...then don't use Greenify on this device. I can see why the dev doesn't respond
no one has advised that problem on samsung phones... then must be blocked samsung devices on play store or created a advise on that.
if a developer creates a app and doesnt answer to the users...
Hey everybody! Hope you are having a great week so far. I have been having a problem with Samsung Health. I am having this problem on an unlocked Samsung Galaxy S8. Whenever I launch the app, I am getting this warning message:
"All applications associated with this action have been turned off or blocked, or are not installed. To turn on the disabled applications, go to Settings > Application manager, then tap the disabled applications tab. Select an application from the list, the tap Turn on."
I have Samsung installed and enabled and I am wondering what other apps could possibly be causing this to happen. The only applications that I have disabled are YouTube and Hancom Office Editor. I have disabled and uninstalled other apps in the past so maybe one of those uninstalled apps is causing this problem. Does anyone know what apps/system processes are needed to launch Samsung Health? If not, does anyone know how to debug the app startup process and figure out what is going on? Thanks in advance.
Hi , try to do factory reset but before that back up your data and remove all your accounts from your device and try .

Re-Enable the apps you've disabled, it might then work again.

This did not work. As I suspected, YouTube and Hancom Office did not have anything to do with S. Health.
I ended up factory resetting the phone and then restoring all of my data from backups. This did the trick. Not a true solution to the problem but everything works now. I guess we will never know what was actually causing this issue.
