[Q] Difference between Greenif-ies versiones for N5 - Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
short question - is there any difference between Greenify from Play Market and as Xposed module?
Is one of them "better" to install?

No

Yes. Some experimental features like Boost mode.

also, hibernation of system apps.

I think he means if there is a difference if he installs from the Play Store or the Xposed repository lol, hence "no". I may be wrong though, OP isn't clear.

as an experiment, completely remove xposed, reboot, and try. chances are that it is xposed itself causing the issue. if its still not working, we will go further after. but with xposed still installed, thats all the help youll get from me.

I think it was Halo on Paranoid Android. Or any ROM with Halo actually.

thats what it was, halo! it had to be disabled to install apps. the install button would be grayed out. anything similar would go through the same process, even regular apps. thank you btw

Do you have "Unknown Sources" checked under the security settings. It should prompt you if you don't but just in case, check that.
I've got the same problem. I can't install apk's since I'm using the latest stock 4.4.3 update. I've never rooted my phone or whatsoever. I can't seem to find a solution for it

I can't think of any reason why you wouldn't be able to install apks. Even on stock and no root, I am fairly sure you are able to.
Check this out. . We discovered this in the Paranoid Android Community the other day.
If you have Echo Notifications Lockscreen installed, whether you have it activated or not, it disables installation of apks and the OK button on certain other dialogs. I went nuts trying to figure out what happened...

Does privacy guard?

really work. Does it block permissions from apps trying to access sensitive information?
what are the cons from using it?
What is the difference between the privacy guard feature vs using a app from the playstore?
I'm using Carbon ROM Kikat.
It works
Yes. It really works. And for your second question: It is just an app which is preloaded so that you don't have to find & download. There are so many programs on play store but I found none of them was working on rooted stock 4.4.4 . There was an Xposed module "AppOps" which worked fine.

If you have Xposed then install Xprivacy instead (and AFWall+).

Greenify on Android 5.1

Hi, I have samsung S6, Android 5.1.1, with greenify installed, but apps like facebbok, whatsapp, skype dont get greenified, because they dont appear on the kill list, is this normal? or it requires the donation package to have that feature? on Android 5.0.2 This apps were available for kill with greenify.
Thanks

After installing greenify you have to give root access and than select the apps you want to greenify by going to + icon on top right of app.
I suggest you to use Servicely. I found it better than Greenify. Here is the Play Store link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.franco.servicely
P.S. Also you can activate free PRO.

I dont have root on my device, only use unrooted resources from Greenify, and it always worked nicelly, but now it appears that facebook, whatsapp and skype are categorized as system apps

Some of the features of Greenify works on non rooted devices, I had it on S4 with 5.0.1 and it worked nicely, the question here is why this apps dont appear on the kill list to select?!

I use those too but you have to be careful what you are deactivating. If you know how to handle these apps they are extremely powerful.
I have the same problem, with GPlay and WhatsApp! Am I the only one?

yeah, i ended up uninstalling both that apps (naptime and servicely). now im only using the module and franco kernel with some tweaks to lower down the perfomance.
I used to have this problem. The best way I could fix it was to ignire the OTA updates and download the full new rom update and flash that and clear the cache before booting up. Never had the problem since updating this way.

I always update with full rom zip, bcoz I'm rooted. didn't get this problem on 9.0.1. at least the module help to stop the battery from draining.

Me too, since 9.0.2. I don't have root access, so maybe a full wipe and installing the full rom next time will fix it.

Can I hide the use of a custom ROM from an app?

I'm using Sony Xperia XZ2, and just flashed Android 11 AOSP (because officially it only supports up to Android 10).
There is an app that does not run and gives me an error message and I suppose it's because it sees a custom ROM (didn't happen with Android 10).
Is there any thing to do about that?
Thank you!

It's one of those fitness apps that reward you for walking/running (but it's local and isn't available to everyone).
I currently don't have root, so that's not the problem. Are you sure that using magisk will help here?
I don't mind rooting my device (in fact I want to).

ok, looks like your system integration fails,
it is one of the problem caused because of saftynet api, can you tell me which country are you from?

Sure, Israel.
But why does it matter?
IMO doesn't matter at all.
The cited "SafetyNet API" is integral part of "Google Play Services" what isn't location dependent, AFAIK.

@TheeWolf
If the Android system property values of ro.build.fingerprint and ro.vendor.build.fingerprint aren't the ones from device's Stock ROM ( which are certified by Google and pass SafetyNet ) the actually installed ROM is assumed to be a Custom ROM.

I see. Can that be changed to trick the app?
Edit: I found a Magisk module that does that. The question is, what values do I use?
Of course the values what are valid for device's Stock ROM.

Sorry, but I don't remember. However looking at the Magisk's module list I see there is a module called MagiskHide Props Config, this may be it.
