I installed the latest version of Greenify with the donation pack and latest version of Xposed installer on my android tablet Bitmore 1060 tablet and i get an error on Greenify that the auto hibernation is disabled every time i enter the app. I tried to
restart but the error appears again. What should i do to fix it?
Did you enable Greenify in SETTINGS>Device Administrators and in SETTINGS>Accessibility?
Installed Greenify for the first time last night on my rooted Nexus 6 running CM13 12/25 nightly.
After installing, I hibernated a few apps (instagram, twitter, google maps). I turned the phone off and next thing I know it automatically rebooted by itself. Upon restart, SIM card error occurred and of course no mobile data or cell phone service. Restarting the phone did not fix the issue. Uninstalling the program fixed the issue. Any ideas?

Which version of Greenify are you running and in which mode?
Do you have the donation package?
Did you enable GCM service or Aggressive Doze?
Have you installed Xposed?

Greenify v2.7.1 (the newest version on the play store)
Not sure which mode -- whatever mode is default. The SIM card error occurred before I had a chance to even play with settings.
Not donation package.
Did not enable GCM service or Aggressive Doze -- like I said, didn't have a chance to even mess with settings.
Did not install Xposed -- it didn't mention having to install Xposed in the playstore description, so I didn't -- is it necessary?

CM13 seems to have issues with a few apps. May be the current beta of Greenify 2.8.beta7 may solve your issue.
Default mode depends on your root status. If you are unrooted, it is 'non root', if you are rooted, it is 'root'.
Xposed is not mandatory for Greenify but when enabled in Xposed, Greenify gets some more options to play with like hibernating system apps.

Sorry I didn't realize what you meant by mode -- it was in "root" mode.
Maybe I'll try out the beta version, thank you!
Newest stable version works but doesn't ask for root privilege. Rooted using Chainfire's supersu.
Also happened to me, but here's the deal, just follow the new setup wizard without root access anyways, then when you have access to the app settings you can change to root mode and force to greenify anything, or try to activate any settings that require root, super su should prompt, then you can grant root access, it's working fine for me now
Best of luck

Which settings require root? I've toggled all the settings and none of them made it ask for root.

For me it asked for root when I changed settings under "wake up tracking and cut off".
If nothing happens to you reboot your phone and try again, you could also check to see if there is any denied requests of greenery in super su app and manually grant it.

Oh it works just fine. It's just not showing up in Supersu as having root access.
I have the same problem.
After I updated from the market today I can't get greenify to properly request root access.
When I run it I tell it I'll rooted, see it saying it's requesting root access but supersu doesn't prompt then says it can't get root. Same results with rebooting.
In supersu there are no request prompts from greenify. I deleted the greenify access to see if that would get it to reprompt but it still says can't get root and supersu shows no requests in logs.
Other apps still work fine in supersu.
Edit --
Interesting, I disabled the module in xposed and when it prompts for root supersu pops right up. So I gave it access that way but logs show that once the module is reenabled it never asks for root.
Weird
Can't get root privilege
I've updated it trough the market and followed the wizard. When its given the choice i selected root but response is> there is no root<, so i decided to recheck it manual as suggested in the app)Same problem, no root request popup, not showing in su(chainfire). Also wake up tracker does not remember it's setting.
What i did so far:
Reinstall greenify, reinstall SU, deselect Geenify module and select again in xposed.
Reboot
Never it shows up in SU or get root request permission popup.

Got mine to work by deselecting Greenify module in Xposed and rebooting. Started Greenify app and it said to either to activate the Xposed module or select non-root mode. I clicked on Greenify settings and tried to change Xposed settings and a popup window asked if I wanted to activate Xposed module. I selected yes, Xposed started, I selected Greenify module and rebooted. During the bootup process, Greenify asked for root permissions.
A similar process worked for me: deactivated the Xposed module, rebooted, started the Greenify app, then I went into the Greenify settings and turned on the enhanced wake up tracker, which caused Greenify to request root. Granted permission, then reactivated the Xposed module and rebooted again. Checked in SuperSU that Greenify had permissions, then I just had to re-enable the Xposed based features in the Greenify settings.
Having done that, however, I see from the SuperSU logs that Greenify isn't actually requesting any root permissions since I re-enabled the Xposed module. I suspect the new version is using Xposed for all its root access and no longer needs root permissions for the app in Boost (Xposed) mode.
Lots of guessing here.
I tried doing a plain re-install. Greenify comes up with the new setup process, tells me it's going to request root access and then does... nothing. Then it complains it can't get root access and stays there so can't install anymore. Completely broken. Unless I want to go without root which is not my intention as I don't want to use it with a reduced feature set.

Read prior posts for further guidance. Seems others have got it to work. I had zero/nada/no problems on latest betas w/Xposed and SuperSU 2.76. YMMV.
What can I say.... I do a clean install, the app says it's going to acquire root and then fails. I'd call this a bug... Honestly.

Using SuperSU? If ≥ 2.77 try 2.76 (terminal build by ChainFire).
BTW - I tend to agree there's a glitch somewhere given complaints; Q&A will hopefully allow dev to isolate/rectify.
I'm using SuperSU v2.78 with the latest Greenify v3.0 build 5 beta and it working fine.
Wonder if I should drop back to v2.76 and how to even do that without losing root?

This page has a link to the SuperSU v2.76 zip on ChainFire's site, which can be flashed with TWRP, etc depending on your phone.

I have not tried to flash it myself.

If life is good don't change anything! I'm not out to skewer SuperSU v2.78; the problems I and a few others experienced are likely outliers with various contributing factors. That said, SuperSU 2.76 has been rock solid on my devices as have most of ChainFire's previous releases. Sticking with what works for now.

Did all of the above and it doesn't show in supersu. Strange thing is Greenify works with root+boost selected just fine. Doesn't show in su logs either.
If you moved Greenify apk to
"/system/priv-app", it won't need to ask SuperSU for root and won't be in the SuperSU log. Is that the case here?

Hum - assumed those with Xposed framework left Greenify as a user app. Perhaps not the case for all. As you pointed out one would not necessarily expect a prompt for privileged access if the app resides in "/system/priv-app" depending on how the active SU manager (typically SuperSU) is configured.
I don't think you can do anything to the SuperSU configuration to make it so apps in priv-app have to ask for SU permission. I have other apps in there and have never seen them ask and they are not in SuperSU log either.
I moved my Greenify apk into priv-app because it wasn't clear to me that there was nothing to gain by doing that as I already had Xposed installed and working. Have since moved it back to original folder in /data/app/.

- Android 6.0.1
- SuperSU 2.78 (systemless root)
- Xposed
- latest Greenify Beta from PlayStore (in Root+Boost mode)
- NOT installed as system app or anything.
Same problem here -- Greenify never asks for root, is not listed in SuperSU logs. Greenify initially had root access iirc, but one of the updates from PlayStore removed it.
Nevertheless Greenify seems to be working fine though.
EDIT: All other root apps on my phone (OnePlus 2, stock OxygenOS 3.1) don't have any issues with root access.

Hi guys !
I have been using Greenify for quite some time now and finally decided to get the Donation Package in order to unlock some more advanced features.
There's no way to know (or so I think), but I guess deep hibernation, at least, works fine. However, even though "Greenify system apps" is ticked, the only change I noticed in the wizard is SuperSU, which appears when ticking the box in the right up corner menu. I did reboot several times, but with no luck.
As for my configuration, my device is a Honor 5C L51 on Android Marshmallow. I use the EMUI stock ROM (v4.1.2 at the moment) and Nova Launcher Prime.
Do one of you guys have any idea how I can greenify my system apps ? Or is it normal that only SuperSU appears on that list ? I do understand that these options are experimental, but if there is something I misunderstood to get this working, please let me know.
Thank you for your time.

- is device rooted?; can't hibernate most system apps w/o root
- make sure working mode is set to 'root' in settings
- if still no joy consider making Greenify a 'system' app which gives Greenify some additional powers if not running Xposed
- that said there are few (often no) system apps that benefit from hibernation

Thank you for your answer.
I am root and Greenify's working mode is "Root + Boost (Xposed). I'm confused about what you're saying though, how can one change an app priviledge from user to system ?

If you have Xposed there is no benefit to migrating the Greenify apk to the system partition. Make sure Greenify actually has root permissions. Change the working mode to 'non-root' and then removed the related entry from SuperSU (or whatever root manager you are using). Return to Greenify and select boost mode [or whatever is need to return to "Root + Boost (Xposed)"]. You should get a SuperSU prompt ... either immediately or when attempting to manually hibernate an app.

Just did all that and nothing changed. I also tried to untick the "Greenify system apps" option box and tick it again with no luck. However, I noticed that I could actually make SuperSU appear and disappear from the list of greenifying apps like I mentioned in my first post even if the box is unticked.

Not much more to say. Either: 1) you have no system apps running aside from SuperSU [seems unlikely]; or 2) Greenify does not have sufficient permissions to see and act upon system apps. Good luck chasing this one down.
SuperSU typically runs as a user app regardless of how Greenify characterizes it. You can check current status from within SuperSU.
