Does Greenify use "cmd appops set <package_name> RUN_IN_BACKGROUND ignore" to effectively hibernate apps as described here? https://www.xda-developers.com/freeze-app-background-processes-without-root-android-nougat/
Are apps listed as "Running in the background" in Greenify actually running as a service?
No, greenify cannot set RUN_IN_BACKGROUND because it's designed to work without root. Greenify works by killing the application when your screen has been off. Non-root mode clicks "Force close" but Root and Xposed mode will obviously be more efficient.

I have installed "Notification Toogle" and was be behaving correct before installing Greenify.
After the install, I did not hibernate it, but seems to be still hibernating the app, because the notification battery level keeps frozen until interact with Notification Toogle again. It doesn't appear in the hibernated or pending apps list.
Any ideas?
Which system apps are you hibernating?
try to dehiberbate that sys application
and i think greenify itself doesent hibernate non selected application
or u could have hibernate it with linked application
I'm using Greenify on a rooted Nexus 4 with Lollipop. I'd like to know how long Greenify takes to auto-hibernate apps after the screen is locked. I find that if I use the phone (apps), lock the screen and set it away for a while and then come back to it, when I open Greenify, I see apps that are pending hibernation and have not yet been hibernated. My understanding is once the phone is idle for a while/screen locked, the auto-hibernate feature is supposed to hibernate any apps on the hibernate list but the behavior I described above suggests this is not working. Perhaps there is a long delays before Greenify will hibernate apps?
id love to know this too because i m literally greenifying EVERYTHING even system apps. I will leave my nexus 6 idel with screen off for up to an hour. wake the screen up and look in greenify and it shows lots of apps PENDING and if I hit the hibernate widget shortcut then it DOES greenify everything in the list. leaving it like this means my device still does not go into deep sleep whats going on?
I have the donation package installed to greenify system apps and have actually greenified them but still system apps PLUS other apps like Facebook, instagram, etc still are not hibernating automatically and I have to manually hibernate.
See the optimized battery life document on bit.ly/makostuff.
Its geared towards people on a rooted/customized N4, but there is some good info in there that may help.
My rooted Nexus 6 also will not auto hibernate when screen locks.

Same here on Nexus 5 boost mode Greenify 2.5 final w/ donation package.
The Greenify CleanerService is started, but doesn't do anything. I had to write a tasker script that hibernate the apps while the screen is off.
I always rooted my phones and enabled "automatic hibernation." I am a bit confused, as now I don't root my new device. If I use Nova Launcher, and enable the "double tap feature" to use Greenify's "Hibernate+Lock screen" shortcut, i see it cycle through active apps and closing the windows. I am confused, is it Force Stopping apps? or is it hibernating them? Doesn't cycling through each Active app in turn reduce battery?
I currently have aggressive doze enabled, and was wondering about enabling this shortcut now too, but confused.
How do I ensure that greenify doesn’t hibernate certain apps?
How can I exclude certain apps.

Simple, do not add them to the list of apps to be hibernated.
On installation, Greenify will not have any app listed for hibernation. You have to choose and add them manually.
In case you want to remove an app which is already hibernated, open Greenify, click and highlight the app which you want to remove, then click the three dot menu at the top, 'degreenify the selected app' will be one of the options in the drop down menu, choose it and you are done. If it is a system app, it may be better if you reboot after degreenifying.
can you please add a cpu hibernation feature, just like the "hibernation manager" app?
It is the only thing that its missing from greenify
Thanks!!!!
