It works pretty well for me. Helps minimize the slow freezing up and the memory leaks I suffer from on the Atrix 2.
Requires root.
Let me know what you think. I really like what this has done for my phone.
I've tried this but it's the same for me. i prefer quarantine. But greenify has a better concept in terms of when you launch the app, it'll automatically wake up from hibernation while quarantine, you have to unlock it.

does this mean that a greenified will never run in the back ground? For e.g if i press the home button while using facebook it goes into hibernation directly?

That seems to be the case. They don't explain enough, in my opinion, but that has been my experience with it.

No, it will only go to hyson of you lock your screen for more that 4 minutes or simmering like that, of you just press your home button it will keep running until you lock your screen or it had been locked automatically.

If you use tasker (or llama if you like something simpler to use and free), you can set it to hibernate as soon as you turn off the screen - or delay it for as many seconds as you like such as 15 seconds after you turn off the screen. It also has a shorcut to run the hibernate-now function when you press on it.
agreed

I use it on stock rooted 4.0.4 and it works great! you don't need a custom ROM to use it..if your stock ROM is rooted your good to go.if you have a custom rooted ROM your good to go..I use it with numa and on my other phones with cyanogen and slimkat and liquid smooth..download it from Google play..

1.Auto-hibernation runs after your phone sleeps for 5min.
2.Perceptible Apps will not hibernated automatically.
3.If No.2 doesn't work well with some apps, just degreenify them, or disable auto-hibernation.

I used to use BetterBatteryStats, but the play store description says that it is not working for KitKat. Any recommendations for a battery stats app that is working? I am having some issues where my phone is awake when it should be in deep sleep per the internal battery stats and want to pinpoint what is going on. Thanks in advance.
look for the BBS thread here on xda, they have a beta version out that works on KitKat.

It's not working at the moment. I contacted the developer and got a nice mail back explaining when it will be available...
'Unfortunately, Google has removed the ability to obtain Battery Statistics in KitKat
https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=61975
Unless Google reverses their change, the only current solution is to use the Xposed framework that requires root. The latest version of GSam available to beta testers ( https://plus.google.com/communities/114290544861047241859) includes a fix via Xposed, unfortunately the framework itself is not yet generally available on KitKat.
I'm working on alternative mechanisms to retrieve the data, however it looks like root will be required at a minimum I'm afraid.
Regards,
-George (GSam Labs)'
I have read that Xposed is not yet available for us, but hopefully it will be in a few weeks.
Hi guys, any recommendation of apps that help the phone to have better performance and saving battery such as greenify?
JuiceDefender is pretty good for helping battery life - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.latedroid.juicedefender&hl=en
Greenify is IMHO the best, mainly with Xposed (need root)

I've been using this phone for a week now, and I think this has been the longest time I've kept a new phone non-rooted. One of the main advantages of rooting in the past was debloating, but I've been using the package disabler app and it has given me the ability to debloating and disable over 150 apps, and the battery life so far has been great! (Coming from N4). I know is a little early for a stable release of a stable custom rom but one of the main reasons for my Oscar the ability to use Samsung Pay. So far, the phone feels super fast, de bloated and a very strong battery life (around 5 to 6 hours of SOT). I don't think I will be rooting any time soon. Let's see down the road....

I'm right there with you man. The only thing I was really missing was an adblocker but I found adguard and its been working great. Only irritating thing about that is the stupid VPN icon stays in the notification. So far this phone is crazy fast doing anything and GREAT battery life.

Totally agree. I'm also using package disabler and it has given me amazing battery life and disabled the crap I normally remove when I'm rooted. With the theme engine on the phone, and the amazing performance I don't feel the need to root.

You're wrong sir. Adblocker, supersu premium, and free pandora one on one page of my app screen.
Root is a must for me. I have adaway, Pandora which can be obtained without root, xposed apps, titanium backup, ability to remove crap from my phone.

Titanium Backup is good, but Helium served all my needs when I moved from my Z3 to the Note 5, without having to root. I disabled apps on my phone and hid the ones I couldn't disable, without root.
Undertaker is right about pandora one, but Cachemate is one of my faves. And you gotta have roots.
Bluetooth tethering is a must for me.
I agree with you guys.
I tried to root 4 times, it was either shooting down or wifi not working good.
I will wait until the root issue is resolved.

Disabling is just hide the app from your drawer. Nothing special you have apps that are using your space

Have you looked at the size of the things you disable? Most of them are tiny.
I also use to root and install custom roms because I wanted to increase performance and battery life to my device but with this phone is don't feel the need to. After disabling a few apps I've noticed memory consumption has gone down and as far as battery life. I use to get good battery life before so I'm expecting this to give me better battery life as well. I've also blocked all the ads and I'm very happy.

rooting a must for me either way. If i can't delete whatsapp and install whatsapp plus then that's a problem.
If i don't want certain apps i should have ability to delete them not just disable them
the size may be small but it is still space on my device

Take it to a shop if you're having trouble. I can steer you in the right direction.
Or I'll hold your hand while you do it.
Only trouble I had on 1st try is that the team win recovery got overwritten by the phone once I had the custom kernel and before I had supersu. So I just reflashed the team win recovery and flashed supersu.
WiFi never better. We've done 100 so far.

Thanks for package disabler. I usually root as well. One thing that did jump out at me was, after I disabled all the things I normally freeze, my ram usage was the same. But I guess the main benefit is that the unused apps won't fire up and consume battery unnecessarily.
You should get a kick back from package disabler!

So I been following the Pixel and Pixel XL forum for a while now, it seems like xposed and rom developement is either slow or in the case of xposed framework none existence. I think the S7 edge under Marshmallow will be the best phone with the best android firmware for a while... so to those who would want to update to the latest and greatest, realized that xposed might not even reach Samsung Nougat for a long time.
The next best thing I found was the Oneplus 3t which have MM out of the box, however you can opt for installation of Nougat if you like. CM13 is still available and there are dev for it. other than that, I dont see any other phone beating the S7 edge Exynos version.
Have to disagree. Running Nought on a freshly reset phone was the best move for me. Very snappy. I recommend the upgrade.

I have! I've tried both vanilla, and a custom rom with all the trimmings.
Agree i went back to mm after 3 months of N since beta, yes N is a bit snappier but for the cost of bad battery life, mm is still fast and remember s7 edge has a fast hardware so its very unlikely to face lags etc.
Mm is fast reliable and xposed is ready to be used !
If Xposed it holding you back, you should rethink the advantages. GraceUI is prettier and has a lot of nifty little additions, Android N itself has some and overall its snappier.
I used to be an Xposed hog. But I could find alternatives for pretty much everything. I miss Gravitybox-level customisations but, solid custom roms such as Renovate make up for it! For Snapprefs, I use Casper, adblock by Adaway, etc..
From testing multiple ROMs
Marshmallow - Best standby time, most editable
Nougat - Worse battery life, smoother (not necessarily faster).

WIll you Google account not be banned when using Casper?
I love snapprefs, not because of the saving/uploading/filter features, but mostly beacuse blocking preload and background loading of stories etc, Snapchat is a real battery hogger and has taken the wrong direction.
I also wanna update to N, but some of the xposed features are holding me back
Snapprefs
Youtube background play
AppsOpsXposed
Greenify
MinMinGuard
Rootcloack
Xtouchwiz
I need the rootcloack for my banking apps, can not login without root.
Are there any options?

there are xposed modules that could save you money, someone in here already listed it, so I wont mention it again, trying to keep it discrete so it could last a while. Grace UI is also on the Note 7 rom, which i am running from Rennovate, so I am not missing anything.

Casper can be used with a new Google account. It hasn't banned me for anything so far. But make sure you don't login to Casper. Use it as a root session. This means you still need Snapchat to be installed. Plus Casper doesn't support chat function yet... So you can't completely replace Snapchat either.
YouTube background play can be done via a cracked apk. I think OGtube? Honestly not sure about this.
Appops is not something I've used, but Android 7 allows you to modify permissions and I use a firewall AFwall+.
Greenify works completely fine without Xposed. I've been very happy with it.
Minmin.. AdAway does the job for me very well.
Rootcloack is similar to Magisk. You can get past safety net with it.
Xtouchwiz has no equivalent but there are many customizations baked into the ROM I use-Renovate. And I think Superman ROM has equally or more.
I'm sure others will have more alternatives!
Nougat on s7 edge really transforms the phone in all aspects. The UI is prettier, snapier, smoother, with more options. The whole experience of using the phone is improved by 100%.
As regards battery life, at least my Exynos variant, is much much better when it comes to battery. The doze mode works better, and in general I get fantastic SoT.
Maybe nougat is optimized currently for the Exynos processor...? and maybe in some further updates the nougat firmware will be improved for the SnapDragon variant models ?
I know it doesn't help at all saying it, but with Nougat I have significantly more battery life. I'm talking 1 to 2+ hours more! The other day I was watching a YouTube playlist after work and fell asleep. I woke up the next day to the phone still playing videos. Battery was at 2% and I had 10h and 6m of SoT. I have 100+ apps installed. Not rooted.

I never had problems get "hacked" either. But it is a fact that your rooted phone (and definitely with Xposed Framework) are more prone to attacks and other kind of malicious things, while bugs also happen far more. It's not even a debate you can have, as it's a well-known fact in the Android universe, which is also the reason many devs don't recommend or support it on their rom. The logcat is filled bugs, even though you don't see them, they're there and both slow down phone, drain battery and cause other problems and now or then bugs will happens that will be irritating like apps crashs.
We could just as well argue for the earth being round or flat, where you were on the flat side.
