[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

Initial impression is that this is very promising, can't wait to test further.

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.

Loving it! Don't have to defrost the app every time I want to use it, but can still stop it from running when not using it.

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.

[IDEA] Block all apps from auto running, notification center

hey xda'rs
i am thinking about a concept, of an app that can block all apps from auto running and has a notification center, why?
okay in my samsung galaxy s2 i have a problem which is whenever my phone connects to the internet it starts freezing heating up and so, so i have installed autostarts gemini app manager and lbe security in order to block them " like facebook, maps, gmail, outlook, twitter and etc.."
but the problem is some of them are being blocked and some of them starts.
for the blocked apps i won't able to receive notifications unless i open the app, and for non blocked apps the will start whenever i onnect the power open the camera or in so ridiculous sates.
what am thinking if some on can modify android policy, by creating an app to block all those apps, and it have a notification center that will keep you notified with what is happening.
you see in IOS or wp8 " i think they have this policy" so their os is running smoothly despite how tons of apps you have.
in my s2 the ram is 60 mb free!!! it is somthing kills me!!
so what do you think guys? is it possible?!!

Delete my post please

How to stop running programs ?

Hi ... I'm new to the cell world . I'm curious if there a program that can stop all the apps that might be running in the background on the cell phone . I heard data can be used up this way . I'm not sure whether its true or not but it does make sense that it does . Anyway of stopping them and still use your phone ? I hope my question makes some sense as to what I'm getting at . thx

Do you mean "killing" apps running in the background? If so there are a ton of apps in the Play Store that can do this. I use All-in-one toolbox with the timer plug-in to kill apps for me on an hourly basis. Its pretty easy to set up and if you have time to set it up there are more advanced options like killing background processes at start up (be careful not to turn off critical processes).

Some apps closes when you press the home button but usually the most apps you can close by hitting the back button until the application closes.
It's a bit frustrating on android.

I'm not sure what the call is , I'm learning these cell things . Lets put it this way . Your cell phone has many apps , right ? Okay , now some of them like lets say anti -virus app for example , if it has auto updates ? I would of guess this app to be running in the background getting the updates definitions , that would use your data . I'm sure there many of apps which are doing the samething ( Running in the bakground ) , yes ? And if so ? Are you saying there many apps that can kill background use ? Thanks

The method and software to use depends on what type of operating system you have:
Windows Mobile - use Task Manager
Windows Phone - use Task Manager
Android - Settings - Applications - Force Stop
Blueberry - use Task Manager
Older phones not described above - switch off the phone and restart.

Greenify question

Hey there,
For some bizarre reason Instagram & Facebook do not appear in the list of possible apps to hibernate. Does anyone have an idea of why I cannot add & hibernate these apps?
Many thanks,

Because both are system apps in S6 and you need donate version of greenify

Thanks! Working now with donate version. I should have figured that knowing that they were preinstalled as system apps.
Ty sir!

I'm also using Greenify paid version, but even though I have enabled the system app option, I can't seem to find Chrome in the list. Any idea why?

I think it also needs xposed to let Greenify donated doing this but S6 doesn't has xposed yet.

Yeah, seems like it. Don't know why donation is enough for some system apps, while other system apps also require xposed...

Could have just uninstalled them as system apps and reinstalled through app store boom works.
Donating is always good as well

Whenever I hit to hibernate, it always says there is nothing to hibernate. This was not the case before I factory reset. I can't even tell if greenify is doing anything. I'm not rooted. Any thoughts?
