I went back to try using SlideScreen again but now I cannot view any facebook updates. It tries to display them (I assume a summary / single item) but then crashes. The full normal Facebook app is working fine.
Wouldn't mind going back to SlideScreen but this puts me off.

There's a bunch of stuff with this launcher that just doesn't work. Even if it works how it's supposed to, it's just not very intuitive. The concept is good, but the execution is horrible.

That's strange...it worked a year and a half ago. Maybe it needs an update?
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

Of course it doesn't work...
First: It's a DEAD APP. Shut down by the developers. So no, there won't be any updates.
Second, stuff is not working because other apps (such as Facebook) and your OS (Slidescreen was built for 2.2 Froyo) don't work the same and don't have the correct access points for SS to talk to.
Third: Google also changed and closed off access to key parts of some apps (Gmail, calendar, etc), which complicates or closes off information. This is what ultimately shut down the project...the app couldn't get info from the stock apps to do its thing.
Was an amazing concept before it's time, and would make the Android phone a serious WIN for many people I know and work with (which it IS NOT now). Until Google and Android re-open access and permissions, or a development team can handle trying to rebuild it with other apps in mind (Maildroid, K-9, Kaiten for example), then I'm afraid it's a dream.

Way to necropost a six month old thread.

Yes, and I for one am glad the previous poster added the clarification details, regardless of how old the thread is, since I was looking for SlideScreen TODAY (having been a couple years since the last time I used it).
Not sure where people get the idea that just because a thread hasn't seen activity in a while means something useful/helpful can't be added to it.

And that is your opinion

[App] Greenify *Root*

Note: This is not my app. This app is by Oasis Feng
Update: I think the link to the app thread by developer would be this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155737
There is a new app in play store called Greenify. This app is only for rooted users. This app is similar to the freeze option we find in Titanium Backup Pro, but does the job in a much better way - it puts the app to hibernation.
Key features include:
1. You can add the apps to list which you want to hibernate
2. After the app is added to list, Greenify does the rest of the job.
3. No need to manually hibernate and de-hinbernate (like we manually freeze and unfreeze in TB Pro)
To use Greenify follow the steps below:
1. Open Greenify and give SU permission
2. Add the app to list in the built in recent app list or if you want to add app manually then choose more and open the desired app from list and tap on Greenify in notification bar.
3. In the main screen of Greenify you will see the apps that are currently running under "pending" category.
4. Now turn off the screen and wait for 2-5 minutes. Open Greenify again and you would see that, all the apps added to list are movee to "hibernated" category. All these apps are as good as frozen/uninstalled.
When the apps are in hibernated, they don't run in foreground nor in background. This will help in saving the battery and also increase the performance of the device.
I could test this by adding WhatsApp to the list in Greenify and later when WhatsApp went to hibernation mode I did not receive any of the messages in it (as good as the app not running). Then once I opened Whatsapp, it was our of hibernation and I received all my pending messages. Voila!
Note 1: you cannot add the system apps to the list. Greenify gives a message stating "Sorry, system apps are impossible to be greenified due to safety reason". Who wants to hibernate system apps anyways.
Note 2: Like the app description says in play store, it's not advised to put IM, Alarm clock apps and other apps that you rely heavily on for it to be running in background.
Note 3: You can send the pending app to hibernation immediately by tapping the app in list and tapping the pause icon.
Suggested list of apps that to be hibernated:
1. Facebook (take that FB!)
2. Google Maps (install as user app)
3. Any other rouge app which you wish to keep but keeps on popping up as background process. You tell me.
Weirdly I could think of only two apps! So share your list here. Thanks.
So this is really a very useful app which I feel would increase the milage of the device in long run. Kudos to the developer!

Great APP. Thank you.

I often wondered what it took to be a recognized contributor.
Now I know. You have to spam an irrelevant forum with an advert for an app.

I in no way advertising this app. I found the app to be useful and worth sharing it. And I did not develop this app, nor did anyone pay me to advertise it.

We got a bad ass over here. Perhaps this is the wrong forum but the app is damn useful.
I has a sig

Thanks for sharing with us all. :good:

I tested it, and it works well.
Maybe excepted for Google Maps which keep coming in running apps even if put in the 'hibernated' list.
But that's a great app, I'll give it a try the next couple of days.

i know you said this app works better than freezing/unfreezing via TiBu but how is it better? This apps sounds like its the same thing. Just curious...

The OP said that it automatically do so (freeze/unfreeze) which makes it unique. In TB you always have to do this manually whenever you plan to use an app after freezing it.

If i greenify, no more push notifications right? Would be nice for Facebook, i could get rid of them if i could just use the app without it eating all my battery
EDIT: How about keyboards?

Testing this, I'm fed up freezing apps then un freezing them when I need them. Play store doesn't show updates for frozen apps. Could be promising as apps are hibernated and run only when you need them. Best of all worlds of it works.
Pressing more exits the app at the moment

So far, i hibernated whatsapp, facebook and twitter. I don't care about push notifications, but this works real nice! They are not running (background, cache, anywhere) so it gives me more RAM (specially you, facebook) and i can open em with no problems, no errors or nothing. Great app!

How's your increase in battery life?

Pressing more exit the app so you can choose whichever app you wanna hibernate. You can see in the notification

AW: [App] Greenify *Root*
I'm using the ViperS rom on a HTC Sensation and greenify doesn't ask for root so I can't hibernate maps. I get a error message there.
ViperS uses a special superuser app, how can make it work?

You can try installing SuperSU app from market.. Then give SuprerSU su permission with special superuser app. From this point on you SuperSU app will be used to grant su permission. Greenify will support SuperSU.

Hi dev. Please, could you add a option to ignore the fact that some apps are system ones? Sony has some apps that are media related, and even Facebook, that comes with software, that ate safe to hibernation.
Cheers.

Dev won't be following this thread AFAIK. You can contact him at [email protected]
About hibernating system apps, since you are already rooted you can convert few apps like Facebook and other Sony apps which are media related to user apps with help of a titanium backup. This will enable you in hibernating them.
Take due care when converting Sony apps to user apps though.

No Omega v9.0
Also running the latest play store which is 4.3.11

You can disable it (freeze) if you don't use google services as google+ or google play (and maybe others). Those two ones require an active google services app.
Anyway, it's useless to uninstall it because il reinstalls itself at next boot...

Disable Google now and disable location history and reporting in Google maps.
Really helps.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using Tapatalk 4

Did you have restored google maps with titanium ?
For me google maps need to be installed from the play store only !

Turn off 'wifi & mobile network location' in location services. Then go into accounts / Google and then click on your Gmail account/s. Un tick all the syncs you don't need. I only leave on email and calendar. Also check your Google play settings. I have auto update turned off.

I suffered from this problem too on omega v9 updating to v10 and above solved it for me

What worked for me was to disable the Google setting for finding your phone. It solved the battery issue. I don't understand why but it works. As opposed to turning off the network location.

Google+ using a lot of data

In the last few weeks I have noticed a high data usage from Google +. See screens attached.
I have checked all settings and all syncs and auto back up have been disabled. Were disabled from the beginning. It's usage continues to go up from 25mb to 100mb a day. The data usage app states that it's all foreground data also.
Any help or suggestion's would be great.
Thanks

right, it says 500MB in the 'foreground', so that's probably from him having the application open and using it

Do you take photos?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Don't use Google+ at all. Don't remember the last time I used it. Have only opened to make sure nothing is syncing etc.
Don't take many photos either.

Delete it and just use the mobile version through a browser. I stopped using it because it eats Battery and data in the background.

I finally disabled Google+ because it was slaughtering my battery. I NEVER used it other than as an offline photo viewer (sync and auto upload were both off), but it was constantly running in the background and draining my battery. I finally ended up disabling Google+ entirely and just using the stock Gallery app, and my battery life has been fantastic since then.

Cheers for the replies.
If I disable it. Will apps that use it to back up (games) be affected?

There are no apps that use the Google+ app (unless you count the "Photos" app that is a part of the Google+ app). Google+ authentication that is used in 3rd party apps comes from Google Play Services.

[Q] What factory apps are better disabled for improved battery life?

Hey guys. I disabled some of the apps that my N5 came with such as the typical 'Play' apps. I also disabled Gmail, E-mail, Google Earth and Google+. I'm currently on KitKat 4.4.4. I am not really sure about disabling news & weather app and turning off report locations on Google Now. What do you guys think? Is it worth disabling all these wonderful apps? Should I enable any of these apps I mentioned? My menu looks pretty empty now and I think it no longer has the same flavour as before. Less apps makes it less complex.
Also, What about Google Chrome? I think it definitely drains my battery pretty bad. Do you guys know any settings for Chrome to make it less drainable or some app substitute for it?
Thank you.

You shouldn't have to disable anything. Personally, I don't at all. Just manage syncs, services and wakelocks properly. See third link of my signature, open the thread in web view if you're on Tapatalk.
