Is there a way to stop an application without uninstalling it? I force stopped it but app is still draining battery somehow.
I will contact Endomondo, but since it's due to Android not stopping an app, I was going to post it here... Anybody has any errors with the same app?
Location is off.
Not sure how much help it would be.. But I think greenify app can help u.
If you have app ops installed disable the gps/ location permission

I'm completely stock so no root, I think that app needs root permissions.

I think Greenify works without root also but with limited functionality. Don't have a non rooted device so not sure to what extent it works in a non rooted device.

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?

So I recently rooted my LS996 in an attempt to remove bloatware and try and improve performance but it seems like it's doing even worse now? Any ideas on how I can fix this? I can't even run Google Maps and Google Play Music at the same time without one or the other closing out. I can't seem to improve performance using any method. I'm running 5.1.1 zv8
Did remove anything crucial? And the phone is likely kicking apps due to low memory.

I haven't removed anything. I've disabled some google apps and stock voice-to-text/voice command services to force Google Now as primary. Any suggestions on what I can/should delete or disable? I was looking in to disabling some cores but that only looks like it improves run temps.
I'm nearly at my wits end here. I can't nav to save my life and driving in silence is a total pain.

If you upgraded all the way from 5.0.1 ZV5 to ZV8 without doing a hard reset before rooting this might be your problem.
Something similar happened to me and then what I did was with each update I hard reset my device to have a clean install of the update.
Im on ZV8 rooted and I got no lag, just removed Gapps like playbooks newstand movies and the non crucial apps.
If you wish to disable apps use TITANIUM, never disable them or uninstall them directly from root browser or whatever.
That could result on a bootloop or a no boot of the OS.
Good luck :good:

I did a reset about a week or so before the root. I've never rooted this before. What are some good non crucial apps to disable? Would resetting my phone after the root remove the root?

Do you have any other suggestions on an app to use to disable all these? I know someone suggested Titanium Backup but I don't want to spend $6 for the pro version just so I can freeze apps.

Well, @Ace42, I just froze several apps and performance seems to have improved, we'll see how this goes. Thanks for the help man, I appreciate it.
I am having a strange problem in my phone, I see ads everywhere, look at the provided photos.
I enabled the ad-blocker from ABS tweaks (Terminal Emulator) with no luck. Not willing to lose any data (if possible).
Thank you.
Someone answer me lol if those ads remain I'll **** this phone up haha
An user app causes this. Check your installed apps recently.

Few hours ago @explainAndroid posted article on xda main page onto how to use android's hidden RUN_IN_BACKGROUND permission to restrict app's background behavior. I made an app for that.
Here's link to original article: https://www.xda-developers.com/freeze-app-background-processes-without-root-android-nougat/
Here's link to app's github: https://github.com/MrBIMC/RunInBackgroundPermissionSetter
Here's link to reddit thread about app: https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/co...en_run_in_background/?st=j570s1rf&sh=675cc4d6
Here's link to xda labs: https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.pavelsikun.runinbackgroundpermissionsetter
Omg it created multiple threads. Sorry. Trying to remove duplicates now.
Submit this to XDA Labs as well! Don't worry about a crappy icon or whatever. I've made apps in Tasker and have posted them to Labs hehe. As long as people find it useful feel free to submit!
@MrBIMC
Thanks for the app!!
Is possible add hours of the days of week when selected apps run or doent run in background?

Nice app!
Will charging disable this?
Can u make the app work without rooting, just using adb, where the permission through adb for this app is granted once and then it can be used to limit background permission of other apps
excellent mate.
we should post a tutorial... not everyone will understand the potential ramifications of disabling everything
I will try to test this out! Though, I kinda like the old icon compared to the new one, it seems like it's not properly cropped. Additionally, could you add an option to show system and user apps only? Maybe a toggle to ignore apps all at once or vice versa too?
No chance for Marshmallow?
Does this have the same functionality as in lineage os ROMs app ops where you can disable background processes?
As someone is undoubtedly going to ask it, I'll ask it for them. How does this differentiate to apps like greenify @MrBIMC? Do they both limit background processes? Anyways, the all looks very interesting, thanks!
This looks great!
Do the settings stick after reboot?

No.
From the Github page:
Anyway, this app is for those who don't want to mess with adb shell and input commands manually and prefer to just click on app name to enable/disable it from running in the background. Sadly, android apps are not allowed to implicitly edit permissions of other apps, so this application requires root to overcome it.

This would be really cool. Best way to implement that I think would be to add Tasker plugin functionality to the app to allow Tasker flows to toggle the permission, which would have the benefit of being able to change it for any reason (such as low battery).

If I understand both correctly... Greenify forces apps to hibernate when you turn your screen off (or manually tell it to), but the app can still wake itself back up for a variety of reasons, such as receiving push notifications, location updates, or any other unnecessary reason like Facebook, lol. This app overrides a hidden permission in Android 7+ that tells the system to not allow the app to run in the background, which means it will not be able to wake itself up.

Am Developer. Can confirm, toggle "limit background activity" in LOS14 is the same as this app. At least that's what reddit tells me as I haven't checked myself.
Wow. Looks promising. I was too lazy to run ADB manually xD
So lets see if I can screw something up with disabling almost everything

I actually tried Brevent for the first time a few weeks ago. According to the app itself, aside from not requiring root, it's supposed to monitor when you hit the back button or remove an app from recents, and then actually kill the app process when you do, despite if the app has some background process that it intended to keep running. Basically lets you manually control when an app is killed in a quick and intuitive way, but for me personally, it didn't seem to work as expected for some reason; background processes seemed to keep running after.
Also Brevent, being a non-root solution requires you to connect the device to a PC and run some ADB commands to give it permission every time you reboot. It has an experimental root mode that doesn't require this.
Hi, I've got root and xposed installed.
And already have installed amplify, greenify, no wakelock and bootstart manager.
But none of these was able to block an app from auto starting when phone is on.
Yea, it kills the app when you click on the greenifys shortcut, but I dont refer to that, I want an app which can disable the autorun service of the app.
Can anyone introduce a way or an app for that?
Thanks.

You mean an app like autostarts? Which alters the criteria to said apps??
Used to use it years ago but it's still available..
Not a task manager but an actual app that manages changes.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts
Not free but definitely worth a £1
Hope this helps..
