Hello, I have greenify with xposed (enable gcm etc..) and the option to greenify system apps is available too, I am adding 2 pictures of apps, which of them are safe to greenify without any problems? For example - Fingerprint caused my fingerprint lock don't work sometimes.
Don't greenify theme and adapt sound!
We know that since KitKat it is possible to disable in built system apps, but there are some system apps that cannot be disabled, like Google Play Services for example. If I want to enable/disable it I have to keep my phone rooted, but I'm a '90s kid and I like playing Pokemon GO, which is not working on rooted devices. So, is it possible to extend to all apps the enable/disable feature in app settings? In this way I could enable/disable core system apps without rooting everytime.
By the way, I love root, but with a custom ROM I barely use this function. I root my phone once in a while just update AdAway, then remove it to play PoGO. I have a OnePlus 2 with RR 5.8.0 (ResurrectionRemix-N-v5.8.0-20161209-oneplus2).
Any tips or hints on how this thing works would be helpful. How Android knows which apps you can disable or not?
Thanks in advance!

You can't disable system core apps on your non rooted android.
If you disable core apps to your rooted android then it makes your system unstable.
Is there any way to prevent an individual app from a running in the background on oxygenos
I ask because I recently used a Nokia + plus and it had this feture to toggle individual apps to prevent them running in the background.
I use use some apps only occasionally and I don't like the thought of them running in the background using up my resources.I know you can force stop them but that's not as user friendly. Theres inactive apps in developer options too but this needs to be checked often.

Update LKT to v1.9.3 (section 1)
Upd 08-07:
Switch off bluetooth when not in use, bluetooth scanning sucks a lot of juice (section 6)
Upd 07-20:
Systemize Greenify and exclude it from doze mode (section 3)
This is a guide to improve the battery endurance of our rooted XZ2 serie devices. It will provide useful tweaks/tips to do so on Pie but it also works on Oreo. It seems that Oreo Sony stock rom was far better optimized than Sony stock Pie in term of battery, so this guide will be particularly useful on Pie. Futher suggestions are welcome, don't hesitate.
Note that just after Pie upgrade, the device eats a lot of juice (AI algorithms work a lot to calibrate various things) for several days. But then, it seems that Pie remains far less efficient than Oreo in term of battery endurance (but actually it can depend on your device usage).
1. Install the magisk module LKT (Legendary Kernel Tweaks)
- Install the magisk module Busybox for android NDK,
- follow the instructions in the LKT thread,
- set the module on performance,
- after reboot, you can check LKT logs (/data/LKT.prop) to be sure that LKT tweaks have been applied as they should,
- use your device and enjoy a SoT gain of about +1.5 hrs,
- regularly check the LKT thread because this module is regularly uptated.
2. Install Lspeed app
Some Lspeed tweaks are redundant with those of LKT module, so just enable these tweaks:
- Global optimization: disable debugging, disable kernel panic, set animation scales to your taste,
- Battery: enable doze optimization (do not enable agressive doze unless you know what it implies...),
- CPU, LNET: don't enable anything (redundant with LKT),
- IO optmizations: enable partitions remount, disable I/O stats
- RAM optimizations: disable multitasking limitations
- Fstrim sheduler: 24h.
3. Install Greenify
- Systemize it (privapp) with the magisk module App Systemizer or instead install the magisk module Green2Priv (Upd 07/20)
- Exclude Greenify from doze (in settings - battery optimizations) (Upd 07/20)
- Lauch the app and go to settings to set the app parameters,
- freeze the apps you want (use Gsam battery monitor to detect the apps that undesirably eat battery).
4. Disable apps autostart
- Install All-In-One Toolbox app,
- Swipe down, in startup section: disable some apps autostart,
- In menu parameters: disable notifications or actions that you don't need.
5. Debloat the rom
- Some system apps, that we don't need, eat ram and battery but always do a twrp backup before debloating...
- Use @serajr debloat script,
- Alternatively, use Root ToolCase to debloat, this is a great app.
6. Disable bluetooth
- Switch off bluetooth when not in use, bluetooth scanning sucks a lot of juice...
That's all. Enjoy a much better battery life !!

It seems that media apps need to be optimized for Pie to not drain battery (it is explained elsewhere...)
I was shocked by the strong battery drain by the Sony Music app on Pie, so I've tested the Google Music app: it does not drain strong!!
So, the conclusion is obvious: the Sony Music app is not yet optimized for Pie. Use Google media apps for the moment, not the Sony ones!
Upd 03-18
And finally... Sony has optimized its music app (v9.4.3.A.0.3) for Pie, it's no longer a battery drainer, no longer need to use an alternative player
Better late than never...

Yes, they removed another feature.
Last time it was the ability to play songs in a home network.
Now they removed the feature to transfer or listening to playlists on android wear devices. :silly:

I'm sure you can find an alternative player doing that.
But yes, it's not great to lose some features...
Pls update to LKT v1.6:
- Responsiveness enhancements for EAS
- Fixed locks-creen stutter/lag issue
im on pure stock .14 firmware no root, no mods and im getting good batt life since .202 firmware. all i did was restrict android system in batt settings (no effect on any function) and greenify stupid system bloats like fb and fb services.

just go to settings batt. check the apps using the battery. if you see Android System tap it and restrict it under batt restriction. this helped me lower down its part on the graph. before doing this it usually takes 10% to 15% after restricting it only goes to 5% sometimes even lower.

Yes.
But it seems that causes delay to many notifications like agressive doze.

My e-mail and instagram notifications were delayed when I've tested this.
Update 04-09
Lspeed: optional - enable CPU optimization - balanced (it won't eat a lot of juice and provide a more reactive UI, lagless)
Don't forget to regularly update LKT and Lspeed.
From v1.7.1, performance mode of LKT module is performant enough, no need additional CPU optimization.
Upd 04-19:
From v1.8, performance mode of LKT module is great with great battery life
Upd 06-09
Various additional Lspeed performance tweaks to enable
Hi there, i'm completely new to root. I wonder is there any way to root xz2 without losing any functionality such as camera algorithm and x-reality? Or is there a way to restore the functions after unlock? I had a hard time finding an all-in-one tutorial..so could you please help me..Thank you so much

You would need to unlock on newest PIE firmware and test it. (Camera still works).
Or after unlocking downgrade to Oreo and apply the xperifix.
Or switch to my custom ROMs next month.
We've got RAW. (I assume at the end of this we'll get our next camera update by the sony engineers to raise the quality again).

Disable apps autostart with All-In-One Toolbox (section 4)
Hello,
is it possible to autokill background apps (selectable) after some time (10,30,xx minutes?)? Working on ways to optimize my battery life.

Apps like Tasker can do that
Apps killer kills your battery
You have to prevent autostart of applications not needed every day.
Use SD Maid to switch off autostart possibility and maybe freeze not needed permanent.
I Think there is a funktion in the developermenue to quit apps after close them.
