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.

AFAIK, you can. However have a nandroid ready, to be on the safer side.
Well after a lot of screwing around, I think (at least for
my circumstances) I "may" of found the answer. Because
the error said something like "auto hibernation service is
being blocked by 3rd party tool or system settings
(ex.stamina mode in sony devi es. autostart manager in
MIUI) Please whitelist greenify for automatic hibernation
to work", I uninstalled Donkey Guard and Cydia Substrate
(they were installed a couple of days before I got the pro
version of Greenify, even though there was no problem
with them before I got the paid version of Greenify), but
still got the error. Ruling out program issues, this time I
actually shut down my phone (no reboot or soft reboot)
and on opening Greenify, no error. Since I was using the
reboot toggle in "Notification Toggle", I tried rebooting
through xposed (not soft reboot) and this time, no error.
Tried again with Notification toggle and got the error.
So, at least for me, I think I may have solved the
issue.....for now.
BTW thanks TechnoSparks as you gave me something to
work with.
Try this my friend collin did this and it worked

Make sure you have SuperSu (latest)
Also after installing Greenify, set it as a device administrator.
Settings>security>device administrators>select Greenify.
Enable accessability as well
(settings>accessibility>Greenify>Enable.

Similar problem here. Superuser authorization window didn't pop up during the first setup and it ended with setup without root. But I could select root+Xposed working mode after that, and it seems that Greenify works well now.

Uninstalling/deactivating the Xposed component and then rebooting will allow privileged mode when root selected assuming Greenify has been converted to a system app.
is the privileged mode needed when I already have root + xposed. Does it give me some other features ???

Why would that be? Seems privileged mode is an ideal fit for Android N given lack of Xposed support.

Hi all,
I have a new refurb G5 I just got under warranty exchange from T-Mo. It is not rooted. I am unable to install an APK. I have toggled on the "allow install from unknown sources". When I go to install the install button is Not greyed out but it does not respond. Any suggestions appreciated!
Thanks

Did you try different apks for other apps? If it keeps on not responding I'd try adb push and if that doesnt work either, go for a refurb kdz so you elimante most possible errors even though it is a refurbished phone already.
Solved!
I found the solution. I went to settings-> apps (show system apps)-> package access helper. Toggle to enable "storage". Requires reboot.
Great glad you found it
Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk
Well, now I am not completely sure. I went install a couple more apks and found I had to reboot before each install. Now I do not know if granting storage permission to package installer access helper was even necessary. At least of anyone reads this post they will have something to work with. Thanks for your help jimchee!
