Is there any way to view the full path for cut off in greenify? Trying to figure out what keeps waking Google play services when all I've done is unlock my phone and open greenify.
There's also at times conflict between disable services and greenify. Play services show in greenify as running but when I go to disable services it often shows none are running.
I want to kill the path that keeps waking it for greenify but I want to research it first.
Literally all I use is the store at this point. YouTube too but through browser not the actual YouTube app. Chrome here and there but not often, been mostly using armor fly.
Does there exist a list which shows which services are needed for what functions? I can find other people's troubleshooting but no confirmed lists.
Also been wondering the same for everything in general, there are probably more apps I don't need but can never be sure.
I'm on s5 neo rooted 5.1.1 Samsung software

So with App Ops I turned "location" and "keep awake" for Google play services using "App Ops 4.3/4.4 KitKat" by Color Tiger and my usage went from 10-20% depending on my on screen time to 3% without anything crashing so hopefully that'll help others out. Trying it on my nexus 7 2013 too.
If anyone knows why location or keep awake is necessary please let me know.
Are other apps that require or use location still working (and have location)? I believe Google Play Services is the api other apps go through to obtain location. I was going to try this myself also but was afraid of breaking other apps.

I haven't noticed anything not updating. EWeather, google now, and my other services are still doing great.
Do you still have push notifications (for hangouts or whats app or facebook messenger) when you turn of keep awake ?
I'm just wondering if what Wake Lock Detector is reporting (a LOT of activities from Google Services - see screenshots) is normal. I don't really know much about what this means but the OS is reporting rather high battery usage of Google Services. It's been happening for four days now. I only used location services yesterday for a little while. I did make a new profile in Tasker for turning on LS whenever Google maps is opened, but I don't open Google maps all that often.
Any idea what that means and why is Google Services using that much energy?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe...
I think that It can be because of an application download the Google Play lib file and also use the WAKE LOCK in USER PERMISSION and maybe this Activity it is not destroyed at all when the app is closed... But I am not sure
Is it possible to stop triggering Google play protect even though SCANNING is OFF?
*I CANNOT keep an app that google play protect doesn't aprove of installed!!! Google play protect AUTOMATICALLY deletes my app without my permission!!!!
THERE IS NO LONGER "DEVICE SECURITY" IN THE SYSTEM APP LIST, so where is the security database kept for Google play protect?
I have had my favorite little unapproved app for 2 years now & am familiar with how to manipulate my phone. Everything is disabled, google notifications, app overdraw, allow less secure apps, Google play protect off, don't verify apps, don't update anything, and many services are disabled using an app called "package disabler pro".
WHAT ELSE CAN I DO TO STOP GOOGLE PLAY PROTECT FROM AUTOMATICALLY DELETING MY APP on a samsung galaxy 7?** I NEED THIS app TO WORK ON & run on an S7 unrooted nougat phone without Google play protect "protecting" me.
*Using google play protect settings (on/off) no longer works!* All apps are scanned regardless of settings.* When Google protect finds the app I wish to keep, IT insists on deleting it without my consent!
* Is there a way to kill the Google protect app process using package disabler pro (or similar app) or add my beloved app to the play protect ignore list/whitelist (Google does NOT give me the option to ignore)?
With overdraw & notifications enabled, Google play protect warns about installation. I tell Google it's ok. After installation, Google uninstalls it anyway. THIS OCCURS WHEN EVERY BUTTON/TOGGLE IS TURNED OFF/DON'T SCAN/ALLOW UNAPPROVED APPS/PLAY PROTECT OFF IN BOTH GOOGLE PLAY & IN GOOGLE SETTINGS.

Open playstore>playprotect>uncheck checking device for malware
as my post stated, play protect settings
Play protect settings are all off (don't scan), rechecked to confirm no changes (still "don't scan") both before & after install, both in Google settings and in Google play.
GOOGLE PLAY PROTECT still scans, still give no option other than "uninstall" unapproved app, & if I approve the installation of my app or block the Notifications, my app is still removed without my consent. THERE IS NO OPTION TO IGNORE.
Does anyone know??
Everything I can think of to turn off is turned off or blocked, including all tracking & SCANNING. I want to keep my unapproved app. How do I make Google play protect stop .... which background processes are new on Google play protect? How do I find out what they've changed?
giving up
Disabled google play on all devices.
There are alternatives to that app store
Were you ever able to do this? I've been trying unsuccessfully and it keeps insisting that I delete the app and disabling it
I feel it a kind of harassment by Google. Im mean they give you an option to turn off scanning and play protect yet they do not comply with there own policy. Its just a toggle to keep it ftom automatically uninstalling an app but its obviously Google continues scanning or there would not be a notification otherwise. If you go to Google more info its instructions that lead you to somewhere elso and at the end asks "was this helpful" as if they giva a ........? A few years aga people completed abot " G plus" forced installed , like it or not. Clised for Googles inability to secure isers information. Now its Instant Apps , "Google give ith and Google take ith away".
Did anyone ever get a solution to this? I'm having the same problem - everything disabled/enabled/selected/deselected, etc but Play Protect still sends a notification and uninstalls my app. The problem I'm having is that it doesn't happen immediately, rather on the next scan, so the app functions normally for an arbitrary length of time, then it's suddenly unavailable. This is annoying and disruptive and I'd love to know how to resolve the issue for good. Please advise...
I'm seeing this quirk as well, scanning is off yet it still triggers an alert for an app. Annoying.
many apps don't actually need Google play services to run properly. It's a huge battery hog, and since I only use the very occasional maps, and I check for app updates manually already anyway. I have it frozen with no ill effects for what I normally use, and enable when needed.
The only problem is that popup saying to enable them or the app won't run. I can disable notifications for Zedge and I don't care, but for something like my texting app, if I disable those ones I won't know about new messages either. The texting app itself, of course, runs just fine as well.
Please don't preach about how essential those services are, I know most users rely heavily on them. My situation is rare, I know that. Just looking to save battery without the hassle of those pretend warnings.

Maybe, instead of freezing Google Play Services, you can manage the individual services that it has running(I can't remember the name of the app used to disable in-app services) to disable the battery hogging services while leaving the rest of the services going. This might trick the system into detecting that Google Play Services is running(this might stop the error message), but the services that are running will use very little battery(depending on which services you disable).

Only issue with going that way is I've never found a comprehensive list as to what each service is needed for (for my needs mainly the play store, but also the occasional maps). Those are the only 2 things that truly don't run properly with all of those services stopped. With the apps I currently use that is. I know things could change, but for now at least...

Ok so for about 3+weeks I've been having this issues. As the title states, this gplay has been running in the background for hours. Today it's been 8+hrs. Idk what it is. I googled, I disabled the background usage, turned off the data usage for it, put it to sleep, wiped data/cache, uninstalled updates, installed newer versions - all no dice. If anyone could point me in the right direction it'd be greatly appreciated.
It's a core part of the OS and shouldn't be disabled. If you really want to kill it then get Package Disabler Pro and do it that way.

I didn't say I disabled the app, or even implied it, I said I disabled the background usage.

It's junkware. Disable until you need it.
You can firewall block it with Karma Firewall which will help a little but it will continue to use some resources. Karma Firewall uses almost no battery, freeware.
Google play Services is another prime offender that I keep disabled unless I need it to get Gmail or use Gmaps.
Disable Google backup transport and Firebase as well.
Gookill sucks... with them you're not the customer, you are the product.
Good
I uninstalled Google Play Services and Google Services Framework (Galaxy apps and Theme Store), and use F-droid and Aurora store instead.
