[Q] How to remove whats app from greenify? - Greenify

How to remove whats app from greenify? the new update doesn't show any option or may be I am missing something obvious. I don't want whatsapp to be hibernated

Did you try to highlight Whatsapp in the hibernated list and click the menu button? You will see the option to degreenify the selected app. Click that and it is degreenified.

In teh latest version when I highlight it then shows 2 options one is X another is zzZ I clicked on X so whats app is no more in hibernated list but I am still not getting messages unless I open whatsapp
which means it still is hibernated.
I got the message saying
"Despite degreenified apps still stay in hibernation until you wake it up by explicitly launching it" so I have opened it its not in the app list but still remains hibernated.
Am I missing something? cant I get whatsapp back out working normally?

Those options are for hibernating (zzZ) and cutting off the wake up path (not X but a scissor). What you should have done is to click the menu button (three vertical dots). Then you would have got the option for degreenifying. What you seem to have done is to cut off the wake up path.
You can try to clear the cache and data of Greenify and see whether Whatsapp works. But it will involve selecting all the apps again to greenify. Otherwise I think that you may have to uninstall and reinstall Whatsapp.
I am not an expert on this so wait for some more comments before attempting to do anything.

Actually new version changed a bit so I could not find those option, anyway Just restarted the phone & seems what app is running now, I can see it in running apps will wait to get a message, hopefully its working now.

IF you are facing similar problem in the future, you could actually backup your WhatsApp conversations (TiB or other backup tools you admire) and uninstall WhatsApp. After uninstalling, reboot, and then reinstall WhatsApp. Launch WhatsApp first and then attempt backup restore for your WhatsApp app.
This is a known problem and proved to some people faced it. Unfortunately however, Greenify has no way to fix this, as this is much more in behalf of WhatsApp's fault. You can search in the old thread if you are interested.

Remove Apps from Auto-Hibernation
1. Open Greenify App
2. Look for the app you want to keep open under the "Pending Manual Hibernation" list.
3. Press AND HOLD the app for a few seconds.
4. When new menu appears across the top, press the "X" button to remove it from the auto-hibernate list.
This is for Greenify App v2.8.1 on Android (Galaxy Note 5 on AT&T Network).

Trying to de-greenify stopwatch/timer app
I have a stopwatch and timer app which does not sound its alert when Greenify is active. If I force stop Greenify I get the alerts. The app does not show on Greenify's list of hibernated apps , even when a timer is in progress, so I can't work out how to de-greenify it.
Any ideas?

[Q] Hibernating WhatsApp

For some reason my WhatsApp can't automatic hibernate. It's always in the 'Not hibernating automatically'. Whenever I manually make it hibernate, I don't receive any notifications or messages unless I open the app. I have the donation version, GCM is checked, keep notifications is checked, I have greenify enabled in both Accessibility and DeviceAdmin.
I do receive further notification and messages after I opened WhatsApp manually. Anyone else has experienced this and/or has a solution to fix this?

Quite weird as I don't face this! I would suggest for you to uninstall whatsapp, and then install it again. Backup its data beforehand with Titanium Backup if you intend to save the messages.

There's no actual fix for this, but I would try to reinstall Greenify, reset its device administrator and then clear the dalvik cache. It is quite of an isolated problem.. I sometime do have to admit Clash of Clans, Facebook and some 2 other I don't remember, stay without automatic hibernation but I can now cope with it. Thanks to swipe gestures of Nova Launcher lol.
And since it is a problem only related to certain apps, I don't think greenify should be blamed for this.

Funny thing is...if you un-greenify them and then choose to greenify them again and then hibernated them. The next time those apps will auto hibernated.
But upon reboot, the whole process starts all over again...weird.

I did a Factory Reset yesterday, because I had some issues. Thought it would work after the reset, but it didn't. How do you use the gestures to hibernate, coz I have also Nova Launcher?

You'll need to purchase Nova Prime in order for the feature to work. Assuming you have Nova and its premium features, go to Nova settings, and then tap on "Gestures and Buttons". Afterwards, choose your desired gesture, and then when choosing the action for a gesture, tap on "Shortcuts" tab, and choose Greenify's "Hibernate now" shortcut.
I personally choose the swipe up gesture. So when I am at the home screen, and I do also want my apps to be greenified forcibly, I will just have to swipe the screen up, and then the magic happens

In my case, this only happens to some apps. Others are perfectly hibernated. I agree it does feel weird, but I don't really concern about it.
Yes it only happen on some apps for me too..but if you un-greenify one of them and greenify it again and hibernated all of them, the next time all the apps will behave.

You're right, I just tested this and it actually work. Only tested this with WhatsApp tho. Thanks! But the problem I'm still having is, whenever WhatsApp is hibernated, I'm not getting any notifications and messages, even tho I have GCM enabled. I read that other people do receive them, so I find this really weird why it's not working.

I'm using Hibernate + Lock for double tap atm, and it's hibernating WhatsApp with the method above. I tested it with Google Play Services as well, but that didn't work. So my only problem now is not receiving anything while hibernated. Still can't figure this out. -_-'

You should not mess with Play Services! You should know that GCM apps use play services to deliver push notifications!
About whatsapp, most people sorted the problem out by enabling Device Admin. In the OP, you've mentioned that you did that. I suggest degreenify play services, and re-activate device admin.

Funny thing is, after I ungreenify WhatsApp and then greenify it, it will be hibernated and then I do receive the messages. Whenever I open WhatsAspp, it's going back to the 'Not automatically hibernating' list. Really werid. It says 'Service in use by Android-system Push'. The only way of hibernating it, would be forcibly, but then again, I wont receive anything and it will go back to the same list.
I removed Google Play Services from the list and did re-activated greenify in device admin, didnt work.
I had try greenifying Whatsapp before, sometimes it works real good, sometimes I encounter the same issue as you. As such, I did not greenify it again.
I don't greenify Play Services.

Maybe I'll give it up as well. But on the other hand, I really want it to work, because the main reason I bought it was for WhatsApp.
Install greenify then clean master.. It works. And saves battery

Ok, I think I found the solution. I had this app, called Wakelock Terminator. Within the app, I checked 'Prevent Wakelock' for Google Play Services. I unchecked it and deleted everything in the 'Filter' field and after that I deleted the app as well, because the reason I had this app was for Google Play Services.
Now WhatsApp is working while hibernated. I'm getting the notifications and messages. Maybe this would be your problem as well?

Nah WhatsApp is not the problem. It is okay for me. The only problem I have is the other apps that people don't report it here. But I don't really mind about it. And I don't kill any wakelock or some sort, so the problem lies on those rogue apps instead. Anyway glad you finally worked it out. Told ya it doesn't have to do with Greenify

Well I actually hibernate whatsapp but still have push messages come in. I have to agree it does comes a bit late but sometimes it appears instantly when I connect to a wifi. I may consider ungreenifying it though, but not now.

Greenify not keeping notifications on LP 5.1 with xposed

I am just wondering if anyone else is having problems with notifications disappearing upon hibernation with xposed 5.1. I have everything set right in experimental settings, I've been using this so for years so I know how to set it properly☺. Just wondering if I am the only one because I am about to loose my mind!! I've tried everything, installing uninstalling downgrading upgrading, I've spent hours on it, just thought I'd ask before giving up. Running in boost mode with donation package. Thanks

Try the Xposed version of the GB Dev available in the super alpha Xposed thread. Also use beta 3 of Greenify with that. This combination is reported to be working.
Another alternative is to disable deep hibernation in Greenify.

Hi guys. I'm on the same boat.
CM12.1, Greenify 2.6.2b5, xposed super alpha and no notifications kept after auto-hibernate for whatsapp, hangouts and skype.
I've only installed xposed again, and greenify module etc, and notifications only affect Facebook, but just noticed by just noticed that they're snoozing too.
I have the same issue, notifications come in, but then they disappear. I have all the required options checked, using alpha 4 xposed + b5 greenify.
Yes, i have this too. All notifications are gone after re-greenify.

Did you activate the xposed module after b4 installation? When you restored b5 using TiBu, did you choose app, data or app+data? For me, your solution doesn't work.

weird... i do though. see attached picture. i'm on 5.1.1 slimpop
Beta 6 is up, it doesn't address this issue. I tried reinstalling from scratch, greenify appeared in notification access, but as soon as I activated "Keep notifications" (root non-limited one) under greenify, it disappeared from the notification access. @davtse can you please post a screenshot of your greenify settings?
L.E.: I've pretty much figured it out after reinstalling greenify multiple times and trying with different settings. This is what happens:
- Activating the xposed module makes the "Keep notifications (Limited)" disappear from Greenify options, so I went on and activated it before activating the xposed module and restarting the phone. Also make sure to activate Greenify under notification access option in phone settings.
- Even if "Keep notifications (Limited)" doesn't show anymore, if you managed to activate it before activating the xposed module, it will be kept active.
- If you activate "Keep notifications" (the non-limited one), it will cancel the Limited one, and it won't work, and it also makes Greenify disappear from the notification access menu.
These are my findings.
The good part is that I made it work this way, but the notification light goes away when the app is hibernated with a pending notification. At least, the notification stays.

Glad to know that i am not alone in this I'll try your method and let you know. I don't know if there are many users in our case but in case @oasisfeng you decide to investigate on it please let us know if we can help with some kind of log or anything else. (keeping notifications after hibernation is a major feature i think)
PS : Irrelevant to the problem, but could somebody tell me difference between the root and beast mode in greenify ? (did some research on it but did not see a clear answer)
Edit : Unfortunately that did not go well at 100%, i mean that for example when i got a messenger message, the app can not go to hibernation but for facebook's notifications (e.g. friend request) after hibernation the notification goes away ... Keeping notifications is one of the best features in Greenify IMO so being broken make me :crying:

Are you sure you did exactly this?
- after installing latest version of Greenify, DO NOT REBOOT, go to settings and activate only "Do not remove notifications (Limited)".
- activate "Greenify" in Notification access from phone settings
- activate the xposed module and reboot the phone
- activate "GCM push for greenified apps".

Actually, i did reboot before activating the xposed module
Just to clarify :
- In the third step, i just activate the xposed module (so i shouldn't activate any greenify feature ?) and reboot the phone ?
- In the fourth step, i activate "GCM push for greenified apps" only or among the other features ?
- Do you recommand Deep Hibernation or should i leave it off for now ?
- Concerning greenify mode, what would be more efficient in our case Boost or Root ?
Thanks again and sorry for being a pain in the arse :laugh: :laugh:
I will try again regarding your next answer and let you know how it went
Yes, you only have to activate the module. No, you can activate other features, for example, I have Deep Hibernation enabled (even though it causes some issues with accounts, and making some apps ask to re-login everytime you use them). So, I don't really recommend Deep Hibernation as it is right now, wait for more updates with fixes for it. Instead, you can check Greenify regularly to cut-off wake paths, which gets you close to having deep hibernation enabled.
Boost is the best tehnically, but I am on Root mode (personal choice).

Try one more time without activating other modules, just go by my steps only. If it still doesn't work, try same method with beta 5.

I did try it with beta 3 and it worked but the notification icon is not the original one after hibernating the original app (and its the same custom icon for every app that has a pending notification and goes into hibernation).
I will try it with the beta 5. I hope that op is aware of it

GCM Wake up doesnt post notifications[5.1]

Well, i have observed it with Facebook Messenger and Viber, should be the same issue with other greenified applications
The GCM push works fine, but the problem is, that the notification won't be visible till i actually open or unlock my screen
That said, i can see that the application has been woken by a push( seconds or minutes before i get the notification) but you can't see it till you actually open the phone so the application opens in foreground.
I am almost definitely sure this used to work at KitKat normally
I have tested this using Greenify beta(the latest) with the xposed-alpha 14-05 on OnePlus One

I can confirm this too! @oasisfeng you should definitely look into this issue.I've tried it on my two devices running 5.0.2 and 5.1.1 respectively.The notification doesn't come through until I wakeup the screen.The app is waken up but the notification doesn't arrive until I turn on the screen.
Removing the app from greenified list fixes the issue.

Well sometimes, after a random amount of time it may appear.. But the randomness is what troubles me as well..
@oasisfeng Can confirm this. Unless I turn on the screen manually, I don't hear the notification chime. And yes, it did work fine in KitKat.
Have same issue, no notification with Facebook and Messenger.
I get the when screen turns on, but not instantly...after a while.
Any fix?

Same here, but also without greenify. I switched to a new ROM and phone. So perhaps it is ROM related.

Hi again, I have managed to get it work again. I degreenified all apps, deselected everything under experimentally features. After a reboot I ticked off my normal feature set. And voila I'm getting gcm messages again! I guess I messed something up by using titanium...
BTW I'm using cm 12.1 optimized on a S4

Can you be more precise in what you've done?
For now I've made an app with Tasker that closes Facebook and Messenger and then Greenify all my app list and then locks system, so to not put Facebook and Messenger on Greenify and have push messages, but don't constantly have them on Active Apps last if used.
If you want I can share it.

OK. I'll try to explain a bit more precisely.
My issue was, that e.g. whatsapp does not receive messages while greenified. I had to start it manually to see if I got new messages.
This started a few days ago with my new phone. Before the new phone I had no problems with greenify in combination with cm12.1.
Here my steps:
1. Remove all Apps from greenify
2. Remove all options from experimental features
3. Restart the phone
4. Select all apps that I want to greenify
5. Reselect my normal options under experimental options.
That's it
Regards
Unfortunately this didn't work for me. But I tried something else that might be helpful. I use Amplify and decided to disable it temporarily to see if I received the GCM push and the notifications, and yes, it did work flawlessly. I might have stopped a wakelock or a service being of google that might be helpful in this.

Well, it didn't help much. I tried flashing all the ROMs available for S3 and it works, partially, in the latest BlissPop. The thing is that GCM push gets received instantaneously but the notification doesn't get posted. It does though, like after 30 mins or so. But never soon enough.
any news why GCM doesnt work proberly anymore with some apps like WhatsApp ? It used to work so i wonder if this a ROM, App, Xposed or Greenify problem.
About 6-8 weeks ago i had this working with CM12.1 on a GT-I9505 (Galaxy S4) with at that time actual apps, modules and ROM.

Apps doesn't run in background on H2OS

Hey,
I just installed H2OS and I can say it's pretty nice. I could configure anything to meet my demands.
Only one thing bothers me. For example if I close the Facebook Messenger from task manager I no longer get notification when I receive messages. I even tried to give app permission to autorun but no success. Also the apps hibernation feature is turned off.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks!

The Task Manager of h2Os is different from the normal Recent App Killer on Android, when we swipe to left it kills the app as well as all the background services associated with it ... SO I suggest you swipe it to the right and lock it in Recent's menu ...
Also many times when on Wifi and phone goes in deep sleep mode the apps are automatically closed or put in hibernation mode and don't come out of it until we open that app .

Operation of Greenify

Hi,
for my basic understanding of Greenify I would like to know:
I ran Greenify 2.7 in root mode, currently without Xposed. This because I want to read more about Xposed first before installing.
It normally should hibernate the configured Apps automatically if I understand right.
In what time intervalls does Greenify check if such a App has been woken up and therefore hibernated again?
I watch the battery comsumption with 3C Tools and see, that the saving effect takes place only if I check manually every hour or so. Doing so, Greenify hibernates woken up Apps well and the battery saving effect is really good. But during the night I can see that the hibernation does not take place and I have 20% less capacity.
Sorry, if this question has already been discussued elsewhere. I have seearched here already, but being not sure, to find the right answers.
Edit: Now I Installed Version 2.8 Beta 8 and watch the behaviour.
Regards, Onurbi

Have you enabled Greenify in Device>Settings>Security>Device Administrator?
Do you have the donation pack?
Which version of android and what phone?
Normally, Greenify watches for apps waking up and hibernates them. There is no fixed interval for checking.
From your description I would guess that only manual hibernation is working and not automatic hibernation.
Thank you for your answer!

Yes, there is a "Greenify Automator". This entry is there since Version 2.7 has been installed. It is ok for 2.8 Beta 8 also?

Ok. I could imagine, that a timer controlled action like I do it, would help.
When Greenify is not in "root" mode, it does an automated "Stop" of the Apps. With root mode it reports, that the found Apps are hibernated. When Greenify does this only once and another App will be waked up later, this now again running App will drain the battery anyway. That's not particular senseful I find. Therefore my question about regular checks.

I think so as well. But the Settings tell me that automatic hibernation is active (in German)!
The last 2 hours suddenly a process has been started named SUPL20Services. It will be reported by the 3C Toolbox analyser. This process caught my eyes several times already. The only context I found googling has to to with GPS. But when I disable GPS, this process comes up anyway. I tried to identify the parent process of it with "ps -t", but to no avail. There is no.
In this case Greenify can do nothing I believe.

When an app is hibernated, it can not wake up again unless you specifically open it or another app/process wakes it up. So a hibernated app continuing to run does not happen unless you permit it.
If you find that a hibernated app is woken up again (not specifically by you), long press the app's name in Greenify and you will get a scissors icon on top. Clicking that icon will pop up a dialogue box which will tell you what woke up that app and if you don't want it to be woken up, click the appropriate button in the dialogue box.

Yes I understand this.
I think I tried this in the past and Google Services has been reported what has woken up, in this case, Hangouts. Hangouts is very "aggessive" I found and will very often be active again.
I'll have a look at the scissors next time a app will be active.

A word of caution: some apps require such wakeups to function properly. So if after using the scissors, you find that the app is not functioning correctly, you can again long press it and then click the three dot menu at top right in Greenify. You will get an option to reattach whatever you had cut earlier.

I am on 2.8 beta9. There is no such icon. I have never used such an icon in Greenify and so I am not sure whether it was available in any version.
I am not saying that you are wrong but just that I don't remember. I also don't think that it is of much use unless you have hundreds of apps.

Due to restriction enforced by newer Android system, that selector could no longer work, thus was removed long ago.
