[Q] Google Play Music Always Running In The Background - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Hey Guys,
Is there anyway to stop Google Play Music from running in the background? I know I could disable the app, but I use it every so often. It is always on when I go to the task manager, active applications. Any suggestions?

I use Greenify to hibernate Google Music and many other apps. Get it from Google Play. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify

I converted it to a user application with Titanium BU, it is now behaving itself.

reducing background tasks/stopping from opening

I am running CELB 3.9, and i noticed that if i watch my task list in systempanel, bunches of background tasks open after i use email/messaging that noticeably slow down my phone. They are:
maps
facebook
youtube
google search
pandora (wtf?)
shazam
Why are these opening when i do things not related to any of them? How do i stop it?
Most of those are probably settings you need to tweak in each app. Google search I just uninstall. If you get Titanium Backup pro you can freeze apps.
ah, i'll check in some of them to see what settings they have. If not i'll see what titanium backup has. Does goggles use google search or anything? I use that once and awhile and if i can keep it i'd like to.
I have never run into issues for lack of Google Search, you can back it up with TB, if you run into a problem restore.

[Q]Closing Programs in RAM for ever

Hi
i have a rooted android 4.0.4,LG Nitro HD
i installed too many apps in my phone
my problem is the programs and tasks which run in my RAM
for example i dont want yahoo gmail facebook apps run in my memory and check my notifications automatically when internet is available
it seems good but i dont want it happen
i just want to have these apps and run them whenever i need them
i tried to force close applications , but when i reset the phone all apps will run again
some application like google+ or youtube dont close at all
How can i manage my memory and apps in my favor ?
maybe go to settings, accounts and sync, and make sure that these apps aren't on auto-sync?
If as you say you have too many apps your best option is to uninstall those apps that you don't absolutely need.
It sounds like you're asking for two things: you don't want those apps to automatically sync and you don't want those apps to automatically start up. For syncing turn off the auto sync settings for those apps so that they will only update manually. Then use an app like Autostarts, SystemCleanup, or Gemini App Manager to stop those apps from automatically starting (on boot, after a change in your connectivity, etc.). If that doesn't work you could try freezing the app then unfreezing them as needed. You can use an app like App Quarantine to create widgets to freeze/unfreeze a particular app with one click.
Doing this will only get you so far. Like I said before you'll get the best results by getting rid of all unnecessary apps.

[Q] Should Google Play services be greenified?

Google Play services start constantly, is greenifying safe? I don't use the app auto-update feature, but account syncing (contacts) is important. I won't remove the wake-up path yet.
I also greenified Google Play Store.
I was unable to make in-app purchases (I had to degreenify), so some issues appear.

It's useless, there are many wakelocks attached to it, when you try to cut it, Google play force close

[Q] List of apps that can be safely Greenifyed

Hi there.
I can't find it anywhere and the official thread is closed (so strange that there is no official thread in the official Greenify sub forum...)
SO.....where can I look it?
No results in the Search.
Tnx.
I can figure it out yourself. Don't greenify system processes and keep important instant messaging applications running.

My biggest issues come from system apps, such as these:
- Google App
- Google Play services...
- Google Play services (com.google.office process.gapps)
- Google Play services
- Samsung Link Platform Connectivity
- Samsung Cloud Data Delay
- Samsung Push Service
- Backup
- Bluetooth
I have 3 different "Google Play services", Bluetooth even if bluetooth it's turned off, and the Samsung Link there Ida a mysterious for me as I don't have the Samsung Link app installed, and then about 200mb of Google App!!!
Other Samsung backup apps are there but dunno if they can be Greenifyed.
They are all system, and about apps, I don't have any that I can Greenify (I keep WhatsApp, Facebook, and a widget for the clock/weather, but they are so minimum in relation to those system up here!!!
Please help understand if I can Greenify those system apps listed up here, or art least some.
Tnx a lot.

You have some Samsung bloatware on your device, custom ROM would definitely help. Don't greenify Google services, stock Android doesn't run well without. I don't know what "Backup" and "Bluetooth" are in Greenify.
Try to keep all running unless you're willing to flash a ROM.
anyone know if is safe to greenify google photos ?

Yes,I use stock deodexed.
Backup has the Samsung backup icon, and Bluetooth I don't have any idea it's there as I have it turned off!!!
I would like to understand what it's safe to Greenify, and why can't I Greenify Google Play stuff, or if it's safe to Greenify the Samsung Link stuff as I don't even have the Samsung Link app installed
About apps, I have Google App that shows some time after using it and don't get out from the list automatically (so I imagine that Android doesn't close it) so it's shown as a Greenify-able app.
Also, if I Greenify an app like TapaTalk, will I restart from where I was in the forum browsing, or from beginning like if has been killed?

If you fine use it for photo sync or other online stuff, I think you can do it.

Hi, there!
This is the list of system apps greenified in my Moto G 2014 (XT1068).
It is a stock rom (5.0.2, no root). I've been like this for months and device works fine.
As my system is in Spanish, I had to translate some names into English, but I think you'll be able to understand.

You have practically greenified every App and service on the phone. Do you use it only for making calls?
Calls, SMS, whatsapp, mail (inbox by GMail), Internet browsing (opera mini mainly), games, social (face, xda, etc), and other stuff. It's amazing that you can do almost anything you want with most of the system greenified. It seems that some apps are not so necessary after all... Which app of my list wouldn't you greenify and why? Bye!

Do you disable apps with Titanium Backup as well?
No. I've disabled some other apps with Debloater. I've never used TB, but I think you have to be root to use it. And I'm not. .

oneplus 3 - greenify google apps

Hi guys,
I have a rooted oneplus 3 with greenify working in root mode. For some reason greenify will not have the option to greenify any apps made by google such as google drive, google photos, google keep, google music, youtube, etc. They are not even system apps, some aren't even stock apps. Does anyone know why and if there's a solution to this? Thanks.
I think my previous samsung galaxy note 3 greenify was able to greenify "some" of the google apps.

You have to have Greenify paid version and Xposed and enable greenifying system apps in Settings. Plus Greenify has to be enabled in Device Administrators and Accessibility in phone Settings.
What happens when you choose such apps for hibernation? Do you get any message?

Therein lies the problem. These apps don't even show up in the list when I try to choose an app for hibernation. Google Drive, Google music, Google photos, YouTube, they don't appear anywhere for selection.

Probably obvious (sorry) but you have ticked 'show all's under the overflow
(3-dot) menu in 'apps analyzer'? Believe your previous posts indicated paid version with appropriate Xposed based features enabled. Both are needed to expose Google apps on most systems (ie: when installed as system apps).
