Hello,
i' ve got an idea. It would be a cool feature when you can set the time when the apps go hibernating.
I would prefer 30min.

You can use third-party automator to execute Greenify's "Hibernate now" shortcut. The "auto-hibernation" feature then needs to be disabled.

I have recently bought the donation pack for greenify and I have several questions. First of all, I want to say that the app is really fulfilling all my expectations but as someone worried about my battery performance I still have some question, but first I'll say the conditions of my smartphone:
Samsung galaxy s5 with lollipop using greenify 2.5.2 donation pack (non rooted)
Questions:
1) I cannot see apps like chrome to be greenified and I want to have them like that as I see chrome takes up to several hours of internet connection even if I have just used it for some minutes. I wonder this is possible because I suppose this can be made as in other apps like battery killers, chrome can be killed, but I just haven't seen how.
2) Everytime I open greenify there are many "pending" apps that are not hibernated, even if I click in "zzz" button or in the button that says "hibernate and turn off the screen". The only way to deal with these pending apps is to select all of them and click on "zzz". I guess there should be a way to have them automatically hibernated.
3) There is an option in the menu that talks about an automatic manner to do this but I don't see how to activate it. I have it marked the greenify options for locking the screen but there are even more things to set that I don't see where and how. Maybe you can guide me in this better. In case I have this option chosen, pending apps will be automatically closed after some minutes, as it is said? if so, how many minutes?
Thanks in advance!

Have you set Greenify to "on" in SETTINGS>Accessibility?
If you want to manually hibernate, create the shortcut from within Greenify (use the three button icon on the top right). When you use the shortcut, the chosen apps will be hibernated and the screen will be locked afterwards.
In Autohibernate, the time taken for hibernation varies but all apps should be hibernated within 10 minutes max.
For hibernating system apps like Chrome, I think you need root permission.
Yes, the accesibility for Greenify is set to activated. However this options is never enabled within the "experimental settings" menu. It's always set to off. So I have never seen my phone awaking ten minutes after to turn off all pending apps. They remain opened. Any hint?.
Best regards!

When you click the "always off" Automatic Hibernation option in Experimental Features, what happened? It is supposed to be a accessibility setting dialog for you to enable the accessibility service from Greenify for the first time, then Device Admin dialog to enable the other service for the second time, and being checked at last for the third time.
Here I post the sequence I do in screenshots. Evrytime I click in that button it appears the same dialog. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong...but i dont get it working and I have to hibernate manually pending apps
Thanks for helping! ?

Have you enabled 'secure key guard'?
If so, disable it and then check.

Yes! it was that!. I supposed it was enough by allowing greenify in the security menu. Thanks!
However, I wanted to have it working because I thought it was the only way to have pending apps hibernated because with the button "hibernate and lock" was not hibernating pending apps. After rebooting the phone (thing that I do seldom) it works as I expected. I guess this was the cause why greenify wasn't worked as I expected. Then, for me it is ok if I have that button since it does what I expected to.
Thanks to all!
I know that there is currently no option to disable it, but maybe this will be implemented as it makes sense.
In non-root mode, every time I hibernate apps, the screen that tells me I need to force stop or enable automation comes up.
I learned that I need to press force stop, and I don't want automation because it runs in background, eating RAM.
Moreover, on a tablet, the nag screen covers a part of the force stop button.
Could an option to disable that screen over and over again be provided?
Thank you.

When you enable automation, the app will close and will not run in the background. It only automates your action of force closing it.

I wasn't talking about the app I want to hibernate, I was talking about Greenify itself running in the background if I enable automation (see in my screenshot).
Keeping 47 MB of RAM for Greenify all the time for a few times when I want to manually hibernate apps just doesn't make sense... after all, one of it's (main) goals is freeing resources.
If I'm fine manually pressing "Force stop" (the alternative being to sacrifice 47 MB of RAM), then I shouldn't be nagged every time I do it to enable automation (I got the picture the first time.... no, thank you) . This is why there sould be an option to dismiss that "warning".

47MB seems high. For me, it is 24MB only. And I always have >1GB free

"3 processes" looks unusual, could you please capture another screenshot in the detail screen showing which 3 process in use?
Anyhow, I'm planning to remove that floating screen in the next major version.

Yes (attached).
It looks like Google Services bloats it up.
Can we disable those background usage reportings? Apart from free memory, they're the reason we're using Greenify in the first place.
Thanks.

Does them linger for a long time, or just in a short time?
I hardly noticed them within in Greenify, but it definitely worth a further observation.

I have one service and three processes running. Nothing connected to Google. See the screenshots.

Hi,
As the title says, I have tried to make a Tasker profile that activates the hibernation action from the awesome Greenify. Haven't been able to create something working. Granted, I suck at Tasker, I mainly play around with it for fun.
I am aware of the swipe up nav-bar hibernation option, but I would like to have it fully automated. Does anyone know of any Tasker profile that could achieve this effect?
Thank you in advance!

You don't need Tasker for this.
The simplest way to activate Hibernation and lock the screen, which is what will happen when you set it up as described by you, is to create a shortcut for this from Greenify itself and put on the home screen. By using this, you will also save your power button.
The swipe up nav bar action involves two steps but what I described above involves merely clicking the shortcut.

You can create a Tasker profile which will hibernate all greenified apps when the display is off :
New event -> Display -> Display Off (choose the priority you want)
And then create a new task :
Plugin -> Greenify -> Hibernate now, and Configuration I choose "All greenified apps"
And that's it, it works like a charm
I'm using Greenify on 4.4. Some apps like Viber or keyboard are not hibernating automatically. We can force them to, with this zzz button in which case they hibernate all the time.
I find it would be the most useful not to use zzz but to have another "Force hibernation shortcut" that would instantly hibernate all listed apps, still allowing those existing 2 shortcuts which don't hibernate all.
I hope this concept is not wrong and that it can be done. If it is, please advise how to use it.

Thats an very interesting concept,and totally possible,this used to be present on older versions of greenify but it was removed because it closed apps when they were doing something important. also,Why are you hibernating your keyboard?

I'm hibernating keyboard just because it consumes power. That's so with SwiftKey and TouchPal which are great with swype/slide functions.
Built-in keyboard in 4.4 doesn't but I don't use it. Huawei phone has this power consumption warning and those 2 are regularly on the list.

Swiftkey never been battery friendly,Unfortunately Currently The only solution is to use that ZZZ button until the developer fixes that,But that's gonna take awhile since he is currently focusing on Android N support.
I feel like this should be do-able in MacroDroid using a widget button and the Send Intent action... I have never tried using that particular action though, and seems I need to get a dump of the intents and look for the right one hehe, sounds like a sober job
Some info on Intent for Tasker.. not familiar with that app but assume is similar to MacroDroid...
I'm on a galaxy s7 oreo in no root mode. As soon as I check the automatic hibernation option it uncheckes itself. I really want to setup greenify to auto hibernate my selected apps as soon as they start.

The option you cite will not accomplish that goal. Automatic hibernation activates shortly after screen-off...not when the app becomes active.

Gotcha, is there an option to either stop immediately, or even prevent an app from starting all together? If not, I would at least like to get the option that is not working working so it will at least activate on screen lock. Thanks.

I don't know why automatic hibernation is not staying checked on your device. There is probably a logical explanation; I just don't know it off-the-cuff.
Greenified apps generally remain hibernated unless 'activated' by an event or another app. It either case Greenify will note the trigger and give you the option to 'cut' it off.
You can enable 'wake up tracking' and 'quick action notification' in settings for additional flexibility/control. Greenify also includes a couple widgets and other controls (eg: long press action on nav bar) for manually invoking hibernation.
