Hi, eddykoodoo...
Yeah, Facebook is a bit of a crawling horror of an app that drains your battery, chews up CPU cycles and makes your device run hot.
If Facebook is not a preinstalled system app on your device, you could try hibernating it with Greenify, which can be run in non-rooted mode...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify
Things get a little more complicated with Greenifying preinstalled system apps - you have to buy the donate version of Greenify and as I understand it, you also need Xposed installed, which requires an unlocked bootloader and a custom recovery installed.
An important point to consider when hibernating an app with Greenify is you won't receive any notifications until you proactively run the app yourself, and take it out of hibernation.
Hope this helps.

The problem is even if greenify is an amazing app doing exactly what i'm looking for doesn't work if your device is prodected with a PIN.
Or better it work but after you open an app you already greenify it will stay open and you need to greenify manually i don't know if there is an option i miss

Yep, you're quite right.
I've just investigated this on my rooted Nexus 9, but with Greenify denied root access...
...and it appears that Greenify will not auto-hibernate with 'secure-key guard' (pin enabled lockscreen) **without root**.
My apologies for getting your hopes up.
---------------------------
It might be worth checking out some of the more lightweight 'web-wrapper' alternatives to the Facebook app, such as the following...
**Metal for Facebook & Twitter**
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.nam.fbwrapper
**Swipe for Facebook**
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.happening.studios.swipeforfacebookfree
I use the Pro (paid version) of Swipe and its certainly a lot less resource intensive than the official Facebook app.
Anyway, just some thoughts...
Rgrds,
Ged.

My s6 sucks bad

I have to restart it everyday or the lag becomes unbearable. I took some screen shots of when it starts lagging bad and I barely have any ram not being used. I'm stock, uprooted. I've disabled all bloated ware.

On the edge forum they discussed was of improving battery unfortunately it's lots in the see of battery reports http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=60959710
I think they turned off Google now ran greenify and disabled any bits of the phone they deemed not to be used .
It's better but until Google and Samsung both sort out their bugs some apps will still differ lag.
I my self now only notice lag in flipboard and Google chrome
Only when scrolling on some pages not all

Get rid of clean master and 360 security. Any apps that say they speed up your phone or provide anti virus etc Slooooow them down.,
There is zero lag on mine, barring on some web pages and bad apps.
Okay so... Since deleting clean master and the 360 virus thing, it seems like my phone is running way faster but I'm not sure yet..

these two apps runs in the background all the time...that's why they are causing some issues....and yes don't trust the "make your phone faster".....the fastest it can be is when it's new and fresh without apps

Download greenify app from oasis feng in play store and greenify/hibernate most apps installed except maybe WhatsApp, FB and Viber if u use them as if they're greenified, they won't get synced unless u open them! U should get more than 30mins+ improvement!
I suggest using a custom launcher like Apex or Nova as well. TW launcher is just abysmal!

Try installing the newest android system webview.
It's newer than the play store, once I installed, all my lag problems disappeared.

Fliboard on the s7

Anyone using flibpoard? My phone gets extremely hot and battery life socks when I use flipboard.
I disabled flipboard
Sent from my SM-G930T using Tapatalk
I use flipboard but don't have that problem. I've disabled a ton of other apps including the "briefing" app. I think it's a widget of Flipboard. You might want to try doing the same use the "Package Disabler Pro" app. Also get the latest tmobile update haven't had any heating issues since upgrading.

Best system wide add blocker that doesn't have a constant notification?

What are some of your favorites?
I'm currently using adblock and don't really like the constant notification.

Adhell.
Free, modifies knox firewall, no VPN.
More for privacy though, so not all ads are taken care of..

I use AdGuard and I don't have any problem.
I use disconnect pro found in galaxy app store

DNS66 from Fdroid repository.
Only con I found is the key icon in the upper left corner.
Check it out, it works as good as adguard and is free.

Why don't you just disable notifications for the app?

Blockada has an option to turn off the notification.

Disconnect Pro (in the Galaxy Apps store) is just as effective as root-based ad blockers like AdAway. The catch is that it is pretty expensive. I grabbed it when it was $5 a year or two ago. It goes on sale once in a while.
Apparently Adhell (Google Play Store) is almost as good and is completely free.

Most ad blockers use a VPN, which results in an Android OS notification (key icon) that can only be hidden if you block all Android OS notifications, which most people wouldn't want to do.

In earlier versions of Android, we could turn off just the VPN notification and all was good. But somewhere around Lollipop, they changed it so that it's all or nothing.
Good luck sir. I like to use AdClear, you still get the notification, but I have a widget on my home screen to turn it on and off. It's supposed to bed able to block YouTube ads as well, but I've noticed it's hit and miss.
Adgruad works for me

Same here. Adguard's pretty good. I was lucky enough to get a lifetime subscription for very little a couple of years ago. One of the best software purchases I've ever made.
I use Disconnect Pro for Samsung. It works very well but it would be nice if single adds could be whitelisted. I like a XenForo feature, where Amazon links can be posted with picture and price. Disconnect blocks this as an ad.
