Greenify unable to use Accessibility service post Android 12L update - Greenify

Hello Team,
I am having greenify donate version and been using it since very long. But recently post updating my pixel 6 pro with March Update (Android 12L) app has stopped working. App is able to open each targeted application's configuration window but unable to click/process force close option. If we manually click it then it will proceed with next app but same again getting fail to force close it.
Please help me sort this out or will it need a new app version to be launched?

Having the same problem since the update in March. Haven't been able to fix it no matter what I've tried.

I thought I was doing something wrong. I picked up a Pixel 6, currently running Android 12, SP2A.220405.004. I redownloaded Greenify and the donation package from my library, and I can't get it to work properly.
It will open App Info, and the screen might flash a few times, but eventually the screen returns to Greenify and nothing has been terminated.
If I click Force Stop myself, I'll be asked to confirm on the pop up, then the screen will move to the next App Info window. I repeat the process, and usually the automation will pause here for a couple seconds before resuming. During the entire half-automated process of closing apps, it seems Greenify has to pause every two (sometimes three) App Info windows and gather it wits about it.
Very frustrating. I'm really hoping there's a answer soon.

I'm using Android 12, SP2A.220405.004 and using greenify fine by using terminal systemizer and put into system app

I got the same issue on my pixel. I recommend you to uninstall Greenify and try this perfectly working alternative.
Hibernator:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tafayor.hibernator

Same here on Android 12L revision 5.
When the automatic hibernation process is left, it doesn't work.
Else, if I pull down the notification panel and pull up it again while hibernation is in progress, it works. However, it must be done one at a time.
There are no attachments for this case.
Sorry.

I'm also facing the same issu in android 12L.
greenify cannot force close apps. it stucks.
I request the developer to please make it compatible for 12L.

It's clear that A12 needs more than one app with Auto Hibernation active, to let Greenify work.

So, you mean that installed hibernator app, then greenfy will work again in android 12L ? Thanks

Can someone explain what to configure exactly in both Hibernator and Greenify to get the proper force closes?
I haven't been able to reproduce this myself. I'm on Android 12, OnePlus 8T

This is happen because A12L/A13 don't allow some permissions for recently Greenify app (4.7.8+).
The installation is out of Play and app is "not verified" by Play Store.
Latest version from Play is 4.7.5 since 2019.
INSTRUCTIONS to fix permissions on early Greenify versions:
1. Install Greenify and Donation Pack from Play Store (4.7.5).
2. Grant root access for Greenify on KSU/Magisk.
3. Download and install (update automatically older version) Greenify 5.0 (search .apk on Google, uptodown and sourceforge).
3. Go on Android Settings and apply all permissions:
Settings > Apps > Special Apps Access
- Device Admin Apps > Greenify Automator: turn on
- Display over other apps: Allowed
- Device & App notifications > Allow notifications access: Allowed
- Usage access: Allowed
- Turn screen On: Allowed
Settings > Accessibility
- Greenify Automated Hibernation: turn on
Open Greenify app and finish the settings on app.
Shallow Hibernation isn't working, don't enable it.
Enjoy.

How to increase battery life by using greenify + xposed

This is a method by using greenify to help you identify and put the bad behaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, stop them from battery leeching, memory hogging and stealthy running, in an elegant and unique way! They could do nothing without your explicit launch, while still have full functionality when running in foreground.
Combination of greenify and xposed function as prevent the apps from awake when your phone is in deep sleep mode. For apps like whatapps and viber, this method can set to hibernation mode so that phone more battery friendly. However, when there is a message, it still will give notification. Of course, it will delay few second.
Before you try this, remember that if you brick your phone, i WILL NOT responsible. However, i tried in note 2, galaxy wonder, nexus 7 GSM and galaxy s2 i9100g and all worked perfectly. Please DO NOT greenify alarm clock apps, instant messaging apps unless you never rely on them. Please be sure to verify the impact of greenified apps on which you heavily relies.
How to do this:
1. Download Xposed Installer.apk from http://dl.xposed.info/latest.apk . thanks to @rovo from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
2. install Xposed Installer.apk and open Xposed installer choose framework, click install/update. after it, reboot your phone!
3. Download and install Greenify_v1.95beta7 and Greenify (Donation)_2.1.. I know that greenify donation version is paid version. there is method to crack it but of course i cant share here. it is better to buy it to support the developer.
4. Open Xposed Installer and choose modules. you will see greenify, tick it and reboot your phone again..

}
5. After reboot, open greenify and click menu button and you will see experimental features.
6. This is what you will see. Tick the 2nd (most important). You can try tick other also.
7. Finally and also last step, greenify the apps that you seldom use. Basically, apps like line, viber or whatapps which you seldom use it, you can greenify it. However, for the apps that you frequently use it, greenify it will only cause delay when opening it. So, think before you choose the apps to be greenify.
However, Not all apps use GCM as push mechanism, some apps create their own TCP connection for push in background service, thus can't benefit from this patch.
CAUTION: it is not work in all of the rom. For example, it does not work in miui.
This is the source for greenify apps.
Great tutorial, thnx.
Should we start discussion on what sys app can be greenified without any impact on phone functionality ?
It's probably worth adding xposed boot manager and receiver stop as well for ultimate battery life

Is that latest beta?
Go for the stable one or turn the greenify access ability from setting.
Same here, I've been having an issue with Greenify Auto-Hibernation being stopped, and I can't figure out why. I made sure it is removed from Amplify, I whitelisted it in Power Nap, but I even turned off Power Nap to try and stop it, and I have it set as a Device Admin and Accessibility Services are activated. I'm rooted, using boost mode, xposed enabled. I did notice that it started not that long after switching to a 5.1.1 port from a Kit Kat ROM, is there any trick to make it work on LP that I'm not aware of?
I have the same problem with the latest beta.
I have the exact same apps and settings as 12gage above, but

That is in DEVICE>SETTINGS>Accessibility. But it is required to be enabled only if you are running Greenify in non-root mode.
Do you people have any warez installed, like LuckyPatcher?

Why don't you try to clear cache, data, forcestop, uninstall and reinstall Greenify and check?
After enabling Greenify as administrator, the problem Greenify not hibernating apps is gone.
I have the same problem, after installing greenify from the google play again. I have samsung galaxy s3
Custom rom: QS KK
Greenify as administrator,
How can I fix this? Please reply! thanks
I have fix by reflashing my ROM.
Why is greenify acting like that during uninstall/install in Google play? I have donate package as well.

My phone (non-root) running on Android M, after the latest update on Greenify, the Automated Hibernation is enabled. However, the Apps that are marked to Hibernate after the Screen is turned off, don't Hibernate and Apps remain running!
Do I need to enable anything further for Automate Hibernate to work?

What issue? Some random dude and a few friends had a problem 15+ months ago while tens/hundreds of thousands use auto hibernate without issue. Such 'problems' are almost always confined to an individual device and usually self inflicted.
Best practice is to try the latest Greenify build, carefully document behavior if not to expectations and provide logs when requested.
I've found that it won't work for devices that have a password lock screen.
Problem solved!

Greenify auto hibernate and Android 7+

Hi there,
I struggle for a while to make this work and couldn't find any help in relevant devices' forums. Hopefully, this is a simple issue with a simple solution.
So, ever since I updated to nougat and even Oreo, with one plus 3T and ph1, the latter still on nougat, all stock, unrooted, greenify complains every once in a while that can't hibernate automatically, so it prompts me to either revise my lock settings or do it manually.
For instance, on this device, to keep things simple, I only lock from power button or when display timeouts by itself. Automatically lock is set to 1 minute. Power button is set to not instantly lock.
Also, in battery optimization settings, greenify shows as not optimized. I never keep my phone on battery saving or other exotic mode.
Thanks for any help.

Thanks.Have tried the idea, several times.
For instance, on op3 I had to factory reset even after Oreo update. I also factory reset ph1 a few days ago due to phone being all sorts of slow. I didn't even enable nova dt2s gesture to keep it simple. Yesterday I uninstalled the beta and reverted back to normal app, still no luck.
I assume there's gotta be something simple such as a step I forgot?
To reiterate my issue, greenify sometimes says the auto hibernate stopped working so I have to use it manual mode.

I've seen this screen on android 8 for the first time after several updates of the greenify app... Searching on other forums people suggest reinstall and clean data of the greenify but reading replies, the issue still remains so I doubt on trying this.
Maybe it's due to google plans of completely removing accessibility..?!

Question Foreground activity - need some clarifications

Hello everyone,
I'm in the process of trying to use the phone less and less. Therefore, I do not care if WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, Facebook and so on have any background activity.
Obviously, all those activities have been restricted. In the battery settings, I've noticed there's another option I can enable or disable: foreground activity.
I have a general understanding of what foreground means, but in this specific context I need some help. Can I disable this activity? I only want for those specific apps to check for notifications while I have them open. If I do disable foreground activity, the app won't connect at all?
I won't let any of those apps on my device. The were designed to be malware and data miners.
They are security risks.
If I can't logon and use a forum through the browser, I don't use it.
while I can, and probably will, stop using socials at all from my smartphone, I really can not do the same with Telegram and WhatsApp. I want to restrict these apps as much as possible, preferrably like they only work when I open them

Best course of action, in my opinion.
You could disable them when not in use.
I do that with Google Play Services, and Playstore.
You can keep them from having internet access with Karma Firewall, freeware that uses almost no battery. It may tone down their battery usage too.
Lol, they can't lead me, I can't lead them... so they can get the hell out of my way
Use this setting change to block ads globally.
Works pretty good.

What apps are good with root?
Some time ago when I used rooted phones , I appreciated :
- My.Android.Tools.Pro
- App Ops - Permission manager
- ROMToolbox Pro
- All-In-One Toolbox Cleaner
I'm afraid to use root due lot of problems like boot loop , freezed boot sequence , no OTA etc so I'm pleased till now only to disable apks I know from past , they are hungry battery . First APK is very interesting , you can see every apk how start , boot with system , tracking features , triggering wifi and data and so on .
