I switched to Nova Launcher and now when I want to set my shortcut it is not showing. Yesterday Greenify updated so I don't know if this can do anything with this. When I click create shortcut it says that it has created it, but I can't see it. Any help?
I am using Nova even before I installed Greenify and for me there is no issue with shortcuts. Uncheck all Xposed modules and then try shortcuts. If you are able to, then enable Greenify and then try to create the shortcut. Again if you are able to, then Greenify is not the culprit.
Reinstalled Greenify and it showed up. Thanks!

Are there any widgets that can be used to freeze/unfreeze apps directly? Sure I know about using Titanium backup, but that is way too many clicks if I want to unfreeze Maps.
I was thinking I would like a widget that has the application icon on the left and a toggle status (which you can toggle by pressing it) to the right of the app icon (similar to data toggles, etc). So to unfreeze the app, just press the toggle button, then you can click directly on the app icon to launch it.
When you are done with the app, just toggle it back to frozen state. Maybe the icon would be greyed out or something when in a frozen state, or if the app if frozen and you click on the app icon, it would automatically unfreeze, then launch.
Might be obvious, but you would have the ability to add as apps to the widget (or multiple instances of the widget) and maybe have an option when first installing the widget to add all currently frozen apps to the widget).
If no one had created such an app, and no one is interested in creating a widget, maybe I will try to create it.
Any comments would be welcome.

The filter is then just a Titanium Label.
So first you create a label e.g. "FreezeApps" and add your app which you want to freeze to this label.
Then you create the Titanium Backup Action Widget and set as Action "Freeze all user & system apps (USE FILTER & EXTREME CAUTION)"
As "Filter by" you set the just created label.
But If you set "No filtering" and let the widget run, I guess, then you will kill your phone because then all apps and especially all SYSTEM APPS will get freezed until the widget will crash because one of the main system apps got freezed and nothing more will go. Just a guess, but I won't try it
But I am searching something like a script to let run maybe throgh Apps2SD or something.
Anybody knows something like it?
EDIT: but momento, I just discovered that Titanium Backup now has an Action "Freeze/Defrost/Launch an app" - this is exactly what I was looking about. It can even provide a password to protect unfreeze (against some no-tech-users at least).
So problem solved.
So I just set up nova, ive used it for nearly every phone. My question is, how can I get the double tap screen on and off back? The original LGG3 launcher has that and ive grown accustomed to it. Ive looked in activities and tried a couple different things like monitor activity, but that just disabled the monitor to where I needed to pull the battery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Install an app called "screen off and lock." Then you'll be able to set the double tap gesture to "screen off" in Nova's settings.
I've used that app and it works great. If you already use greenify you can goto gestures in Nova and select doubletap and the choose greenify screen off/hibernate shortcut or use that screen off app.
Thanks guys, the app worked great
If you dont want to install and app you can double tap on the notification bar
I actually ended up deleting the app and using greenify
I haven't tried on Nova yet, but using Google Now Launcher double tab on lock screen still works. Double tab the status bar on the homescreen locks the device.
Try double tapping the status bar?
Hi, I am running Greenify and long story short, it will refuse to auto hibernate the Facebook app no matter what. Yes, root is enabled, yes, other app auto hibernates fine, and yes, manually hibernating Facebook does work. But if I leave it alone to auto hibernate then it will not do so. Any ideas? This problem is driving me insane because Facebook is super battery consuming without Greenify Thanks!
OK so after some investigation using SuperSU I realized it's not Greenify that failed to kill those apps, but it's that they turned themselves back on! The apps in question here are Facebook and FB Messenger. How can I deal with this? Please help me, it's driving me nuts being unable to find out why.
Some other apps might waking them up. Choose the option from experimental features "wakeup tracker & cut off" and when you select Facebook or messenger app a scissors will come up at action bar. From there you can stop the apps that wakes fb and messenger. If the scissors won't come up, wait for a few hours, it might need some time to collect info.
Sent from my bacon!!!!!
If you are using Android Marshmallow, then go settings -> Apps -> click on gear icon on top right -> draw over other apps -> change config for facebook and messenger to yes...or any other apps you want.
there...you are done.
Now greenify can auto hibernate .

I just updated LG G3 to Android 6 last night. This is just the info I was looking for. The instructions were not quite as you described. However FB and messenger were both No, so changed to Yes.

Hello, I was having the same issues with fb and messenger so I finally uninstalled them and started using the mobile browser version of fb. It lacks some features so I would prefer the app. How well would "change config for facebook and messenger to yes...or any other apps you want." work for saving battery if hibernated vs. just using the mobile browser versions?
Also, although this helps to make them hibernate as needed, won't they still wake up on their own?

How does allowing Facebook and Messenger to draw over other apps allow them to be hibernated?
Just looking for clarification. On 6.0.1 with Xposed
i cant get facebook app auto hibernated and it keep itself wakeing up
Hi,
I would like to use a quick launcher like SlidePad or Smart Task Launcher.
These apps run in the background and allow you to access shortcuts whenever you swipe on pre-defined "hotzones".
Unfortunately it seems like the Honor 7's battery saving features kill these apps whenever I go back to the homescreen. When I am directly inside the mentioned two apps I can use the hotzones. Then, when I press home, the hotzones do not work anymore.
I am on Android 5.1.1 with EMUI 3.1 and as launcher I use Nova Launcher.
What I also tried is enabling those apps as "protected apps" in the phone settings.
Any suggestions?
Hey everyone,
I use a Package Disabling program and have a set of packages that I disable which never affected my usage. After I updated to Android 11, the clock on my homescreen disappeared and I can't find what is it on my disabled list that's causing the issue.
Here's my list exported from CCSWE
https://drive.google.com/file/d/16lPdYnFjQEFiKa5-K19rwG1MYP3qgb7a/view?usp=sharing
I can't open "Clock Style" in lock screen settings so there may be a package there related to that.
I was curious about this too. I don't have any package disabling going on though. Figured it was just a system thing. I miss it though.
When I select "clock style" under Lock Screen in settings, this is what I see though...

I had the same issue and I have fixed it enabling AlwaysOnDisplay (com.samsung.andorid.app.aodservice) and Lock Screen Services(com.samsung.android.dynamiclock) apps.
Best regards!
