I'm running Greenify in Boost mode. And I have just one question.
Does the Greenify service in Settings>Accessibility needs to be turned on?

I prefer activate it ; it's to automate manuel hibernation.

As I know, manual hibernation is for non-root mode?
True ! But you maybe use the manual shortcut (keep the menu button touched for 2 sec to automatically hibernate your apps ! That's why I keep it !

If I hibernate an app like Facebook, its hibernated.. why does it wake back up? how can it wake back up if I dont open it or call it or do anything to share to it etc...Makes no sense.
I am rooted with greenify installed, I hibernate Facebook. Facebook is set to no chat, no notifications, nothing.. it has everything you can disable disabled... yet time after time again of hibernating it, I wake my screen up and do a manual manual hibernation OR i open greenify and Facebook is right there under Apps that will be hibernated soon. i can see the message tha says "Facebook was hibernated when i do a manual hibernation but it always seems to come back on its own.
There are quite a few apps which will wake up Facebook in the background. In particular, any apps which offer to allow you to sign in via a Facebook identity. Even though you might not have signed up via Facebook, those apps will often wake up FB anyway.
If you want to ensure FB doesn't wake up, then you need to install Xposed framework, enable the Greenify module in Xposed and then tick the option on Greenify for Wake-up Tracker and Cut-off. You can then disable having other apps open FB.

How can I disable other apps from waking up FB (or in general waking up other apps)? Via Greenify? Or do I need another app?
You need to root, then look up the thread on xda on how to install Xposed framework.
Then enable Greenify on Xposed.
Then there is an option in Greenify to cut off the wake ups

All done before. But beside a text notification below the name of the greenified app stating which app woke up the greenified app there is no possibility to cut off those wake-ups.
If you highlight FB on Greenify there should appear a scissors icon on the top left.

Ah, yes. This was the option I was looking for. Thank you
For other users facing the same problem: selecting the app that has been woken up (still running, not yet greenified) by long-press -> clicking on the appearing scissor symbol in the action bar will open a pop up notification where you have to confirm you want to prevent this greenified app from being woken up by other apps.

Hmm, quite difficult to take a screenshot, as I can't find another app on my device which wakes up other apps as I have already cut off all such apps.
Try the following steps:
1. Open an app of which you know that it wakes up FB.
2. Close this app or go back to your homescreen.
3. Open Greenify and go to the section, where all apps that are greenified are shown (not the section where you can add apps to be greenified!) -> should be start page by default.
4. Now you should see that the app you have opened is running, but also FB, which has been woken up by this app.
5. Long press on the FB entry.
6. Now the scissor symbol should appear in the action bar and you can prevent FB from being woken up.

Try short press instead of long press during step 5.
BTW: make sure you have enabled Greenify in Xposed modules, rebooted your device afterwards and enabled the option "Track and Cut Off" in Greenify's experimental options.

You seem to have some issue. I see that one app says it was woken up by 'Home' which means that Wake up Tracker and Cutoff is enabled. But the other apps do not say how they were woken up.
Better uninstall Greenify and then reinstall following the recommended procedure and for good measure clean up data also.

Had the same problem, and this solved it! Thanx, this setting is sooooo non-intuitive...
I cut FB from SayHi and Skout. then i decided that i might actually want to have SayHi to be able to wake up FB, so I reattached it. but it seems to have reattached everything else to FB. and I can't see the scissors icon anymore. FB doesn't say "woken up by..", it now says "content provided: AttributionIdProvider". I have tried clearing data and reinstalling the 3 apps and Greenify itself, didn't fix it. Any ideas? Thanks!
I'm on rooted S4 mini LTE running Android 4.4.2 stock and Greenify 2.6 beta 8.
nvm, scissors are showing on Greenify 2.5.2.
Is the "Track and Cut Off" function still on Greenify? I can't find it in version 2.7.1. Or is it a paid function?

I am on v2.7.1 (donation version) and the wake-up path cut-off option is still available for me, despite the fact that there is no checkbox to tick in the experimental options any more.

Yesterday the Dev stated this in another sub thread:
"Since the wake-up cut-off engine is upgraded in 2.6, Greenify now does not list the detailed paths cut-off due to the complexity, and the "re-attach" action re-attaches all the paths cut-off. I'm planning to bring back more details in Greenify for cut-off paths in the future version."
So is the Cut-off thing just for the donation version?

As I am using the donation version and have this option available, whereas you don't have this option, I would say: yes. But have you tried looking for the scissor icon for different apps? The wakeup-path cut-off option does not work for all apps, so you might want to check it by clicking on apps that are listed under "running" when you open Greenify (main screen).

Yes.
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!
Hello to everybody...
I've been searching about this question, but I had not luck...
I'd like to know if I can use greenify without Xposed Framework (I have root access), and what options I cannot use without Xposed??...
Basically I want to use it in a Tablet to hibernate EVERYTHING (because I don't want notifications, just want save battery) -> \\Wifi will be off on power off screen//
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
you can use Greenify without Xposed.
You can't use aggresive Doze without Xposed.

Not correct. AD will also work without Xposed. Hibernating some system apps, GCM push and Deep Hibernation will not work without Xposed.
When you open Settings in Greenify, whatever options you see there will work. Xposed based features are grouped separately under Settings and you can open and peruse them.
Edit: I've not read the tnsmani replay...
I hope this won't be a problem... I don't care about GCM push, but Deep Hibernation could be useful...
I'll test it this afternoon...
Thanks
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.
