Hidden sync - Greenify

I decided to turn on the experimental features in Greenify in my nexus 5 with 4.4.4 and xposed. It shows one of my apps (sol Calendar) is guilty of hidden sync.
My question is, now that I know, what can I do about it other than uninstall the app? I do have a firewall which prevents this app from reaching the Internet and I have xprivacy installed. Are these enough to stop a hidden sync?
Thanks.

[Q] Any recommended startup apps?

I have noticed that there are numerous services that would start up by themselves such as alarm, timer, email, messaging, my uploads, timescape etc, I would also like to disable off these default services since I'm using handcent sms and k9 for sms and email services and adw launcher.
Is anyone using any free app (that doesnt require root) similar to startup auditor to disable services from automatically starting up? I used the free version which only allows 5 services to be disabled.
Also what are the other services/apps that I can disable safely since I see other services like com.sonyericsson.xxxxx, or android.process.xxxx? Also what does "My Uploads" do exactly?
I personally use Autorun killer, but it doesn't list anything like com.sonyericsson.xxxx, only normal apk names.. You may have to fork out for the paid version of startup auditor!
Or I imagine that some of the custom ROM's out there would have modified autostart lists?
I have yet to root my x10 mini pro, so I'm unable to use AutoKiller, unfortunately. Its really annoying to have all these services started up.
So far, Startup Auditor doesnt seem all that effective. I have disable some of the apps but still they do occassionally show up in the Task Manager. Sigh.

Sync ONLY Google Chrome

Hi there.
In the Lollipop 5.1.1 version as well as CM 12.1 I'm not able to allow Google to sync only Google Chrome. This really annoys me, as I sync all my accounts and other stuff with another software locally.
In the accounts setting of android I see the Google account and can only enable or disable it. I tried the "Accounts Sync Profiler" app that allows to specify what exactly should be synced over my Google account, but it never met the conditions I've set in the software to finally sync my data.
I might want to mention I prefer syncing only when connected to a power source (not battery) and a certain WLAN hotspot I decide. Preferable, I'd like to get only Chrome synced without third party applications. With "Auto Sync" I could enable it only when my mobile fulfill all my requirements, finally.
Is there any Xposed module I can use or at least any app that stops syncing all except my Chrome data when enabling Google Sync?
Thank you.
Really, nobody can help me with that issue?
EDIT: I updated to the new Cyanogen Mod (CM13, Android 6). Android 6 allows me to set what to sync, exactly.

Messenger is not being kept under hibernation for some reason

Basically after one of the latest FB Messenger updates, it's being woke up for some reason. Unrooted, Moto X 2014 retail running 5.1 and running current 2.7.1 release - I can't pinpoint the reason of the wakeup since the device isn't rooted but apparently it said "Wifi was scanned" other then GCM probably.
For further info, FB Messenger version is 42.0.0.17.137. Had a couple updates since it started but still happening.

If you can manage to run this shell command with USB debugging enabled and connected, you will get wake-up monitor on non-root device:
Code:
pm grant com.oasisfeng.greenify android.permission.READ_LOGS

Yeah thanks, I know the culprit - it is facebook messenger. I don't even have the main facebook app installed to wakelock it, one of the updates broke greenify on no-root mode.

Do you mean auto-hibernation in non-root mode is not working on your device? I made some tweak and bugfixes for non-root auto-hibernation in 2.8 beta 1, could you give it a try?

Will do tomorrow and report back in this post.
What is happening is, I set a gesture shortcut on my launcher to manually hibernate apps with all due accessibility access greenify requires in non-root mode, whenever im turning off the display. I dont do auto-hibernation since everything used to be fine, until facebook messenger started misbehaving; no other apps other than that one will wake up the device.

Looks like auto-hibernation is working, but Facebook Messenger got woken somehow. Please identify the waker of Facebook Messenger with wake-up tracker, mentioned above. Thus I could give useful suggestion on that.

I thought I was the only one who is suffering from
Facebook app and Facebook messenger refusing to
Stay in hibernation! Am rooted, xposed framework
Version 73 up and running, boost mode working but
These two annoying apps by facebook were working
Well some months back but after some updates to
These apps, they keep waking themselves up from
Greenify hibernation.....
I started observing there behaviour and I discovered:
1) if you open any other user app that connects to the
Internet, Facebook and messenger come out of hibernation
2) if you hibernate without data connection, once you
Connect to the Internet facebook comes out of hibernation
3) if you open what's app, twitter, Instagram or any other
Social networking app, Facebook comes out of hibernation.
It's really, really, annoying.....
Am using the non donation app and wonder if the
Paid version of Greenify can stop this.......

Can you see any small text below the awake apps, like "Facebook is woken by XXX ... ago". You may need to enable the "Wakeup Tracker" option in experimental features first (not required on some devices).

I don't think I have that option in my two different phones
Galaxy Note 2 GT-N7100 and AndroidOne.
Again as I opened what's app which I had removed from
Hibernation earlier, hibernated every app, put on data
Connection, opened what's app in about 8 seconds
Facebook and messenger came out of hibernation by
Themselves.
Am using IvanMeler CM 12.1 latest version but the same
Has been happening in CMX, RR, Nameless rom etc
Mine pops like this, unrooted: it says wifi was scanned, sorry about the portuguese. Running the latest beta, like you said oasis.

@oasisfeng, see this sub thread also. http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/greenify/gcm-push-notification-behaviour-t3225994
He is also complaining of the same issue. From his explanation and also from the first image in post no.9 above, it seems that connection to the internet triggers the wakeup.
Just to clarify the issue.
I don't use Facebook or Messenger.

Help please: why is the Facebook always working after hibernated?

1. Rooted Nexus 6p with Xposed framework. I hibernated both facebook and Google apps. But whenever I turn on the Greenify to check the status, I always see Facebook and Google apps are shown to be not hibernating automatically. The reason is shown to be working. But I didn't open anything. Any ideas on how to deal with this?
2. I also see many apps are under woken temporarily group (most of them are google apps) even though I hibernated all of them. Is it because I used the shallow hibernation?

1. When an app is shown as working, tap and highlight it, then open the three dot menu at the top and tap 'put app into hibernation'. You will get a dialogue box with a warning and also an option to ignore its state. Check that and it will hibernate.
2. That is the expected behaviour when you opt for shallow hibernation.

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).
