I'm losing my will to live just in the first few hours of using this thing.
OK - so, unless you have a Chinese phone number, you can't log in to My Oppo which means, i'm told, you can't change the launcher and the built in launcher is a real piece of human solid waste.
Anyway, on to the subject...
No matter what setting i select, it kills off tasks like Gmail, WhatsApp, Timely etc. when the screen turns off and doesn't restart them until i OPEN the app again! I mean, seriously1?!?!?!111ELEVENTY!?! WTF!?
I've done the following:
Turned off Smart Power Saver (ALL OF IT)
Just to be sure, turned off Smart Power Saver for individual apps
Used the old trick of turning Data Saver ON
For EACH app turned ON "Allow Auto Startup" and "Allow Auto Startup of Other Apps"
For EACH app, entered Power Saver, selected "Allow Background Running"
This is a COMPLETE show stopper and I can't fathom how a phone, that's built to receive messages when turned off, will NOT receive messages!
If anyone has ANY ideas, i could possibly fall in love with them!

Thanks but, nope, made no difference
surprising for me locking the app, giving it auto start permission and going in app settings and giving it the option to always run in background, works fine.

Go to the G-Mail app settings & ensure the following:
1) Power Saver: Allow Background Running
2) Manage Notifications: Allow EVERYTHING,then,if needed,close those toggles that might not apply to your usage.
3) Check permissions & allow as you see fit.
4) Allow Auto Startup
In RECENTS,pull down on the G-Mail app to lock-in
In PHONE/SYSTEM SETTINGS:
Notifications & Status Bar > Manage Notifications > GMail App & verify the same as accomplished in the GMail app settings.
Further down the screen,verify all of your GMail account(s) are present & showing the type of notifications you want.
In PHONE/SYSTEM SETTINGS:
Go to SECURITY > PERMISSIONS & verify all desired permissions are granted,by both headers PERMISSIONS & APPS.
In PHONE/SYSTEM SETTINGS:

Hi!
Thank you for taking the time to detail the reply, very much appreciated.
For the launcher, i'm at work now but will certainly try that when I get home and I really hope it works. Already have Nova installed so, ready to rock.
Re the incredibly aggressive power saving:
I did ALL of those settings yesterday, including the lock of active apps but, it made no difference. Now, what has me REALLY confused is that I woke up this morning and WhatsApp is now running constantly! When I went to sleep it was NOT working!! I mean, WTF!?
I've now locked a few more apps (Messenger etc.) to see if they mysteriously change to constant running. So far, they are not but, maybe there is some system process that's run on a period that changes that? Very, very strange.
I'll update that Bloatware thread with my experience later today with thanks/comments.
Again, thank you and have a cracker!

If all you want to do is remove/change system apps without having to register, use the procedure KOLIOSIS posted above, works PERFECTLY.
Nope. The phone is STILL killing apps. Now it's decided in the last 30 minutes that no matter what I do, Android Wear will not be allowed to run!
I'm so f*#cking sick of this phone. Fantastic hardware f##ked but incredibly aggressive power management. Hate it.

Similar issues here with my Samsung Gear S2,strange thing about it is just yesterday,I was apparently having a typical pairing/usage,getting all of my notifications to show up on it.
Now,a day later,the only connection available is for phone calls,the one thing I do not use my watch for,SMMFH....
The one difference is after I paired & set-up my watch,later that evening,I paired my Jabra Elite Active 65t buds,the connection is solid.
Gonna unpair the earbuds,reboot the phone,re-pair the watch & see what happens.
If this remains FUBAR,it is likely the straw that's breaking the camel's back,this & the limit of 5 user apps to have auto-start on boot,WTF...............................
I know, right? Five auto-start apps?? Ffs! Give me a warning and then let me overide and do what I want!
Gmail?? It's syncing but will NOT stay on "Push" and keeps dropping back to 15 minute syncing.
Android Wear loses connection, I go in to the app and it asks me if I want to "stay connected?". It reconnects then 20 minutes later the same **** happens again.
Oppo, this is MY phone. If I wanted BS restrictions I'd have bought an iPhone.

No luck with the watch being the only BT device paired,I did everything,reboot/checked all the FUBAR Battery/Notification/Permission B.S., + the Gear Manager app & still only the phone profile in BT settings......
I've dealt with some s*** U/I's & bloatware,but,this tops it all,makes an iPhone look appealing......
This makes the VIVO NEX FunTouch look like a clean U/I by comparison.................
As it becomes a more common device, maybe a custom ROM might save it from eBay?

I'm doubting I'll hang in there long enough to find out, less some software updates to fix some of the madness.
The 5 user app limit on auto-start on boot is the biggest PITA, if that wasn't the case, the rest would likely work as it should.
No notifications in the status bar is a close 2nd on the list, tied with the default launcher B. S., all of this nonsense exists to coerce people to use OPPOs ecosystem & the various 3rd party apps they fold into the mix....
I went into this phone & the NEX with my eyes wide open, with the expectation of being laden with what is SOP in China, but, especially with this phone, I can't believe the lengths Oppo goes to for the sake of having you totally enrapt in the system, enough to even make Apple & Tim Cook blush.
Guess they'll go to any lengths to data mine, from the fillings in your teeth to the cavity on your backside......

Is there any app that syncs with google calendar and automatically shuts off your ringer, or sets your phone to vibrate while you're in the meeting or something along the lines of that?
I used Buzy on my OG Evo and it worked great, but I tried installing it on my evo lte, and for some reason it just force closed every time I tried to run it... I believe that it's not compatible with ICS, or sense 4.0, or both
I tried busy me, but either my settings were a tad wonky or it just doesn't work
Any suggestions guys?

Hmm, I'm looking for something more automatic..
I need this in case I forget to silence my phone before work or classes, and the synchronization is nice because since I already use google calendar for everything, no extra steps are necessary on my part (like timing the ringer for each day)
also when adding an impromptu meeting, I just need to add it to my calendar and it silences my ringer when it's time
Automatic? Nothing will beat Tasker IF you set all your appointments in your calendar with a certain title. For example, I put 'Work' in my calendar entries and set up a tasker profile to detect if there's a calendar entry by that name, if there is, it will automagically set my phone to vibrate (and also set one to automatically reply to texts with 'at work, I'll get back to you later' if anyone tried to text me.
If you're interested I will post the profile I have =D
EDIT: I figured I will post the profile for those who want this anyway, you will need Tasker, get it from Google Play here -- or the author allows for a 7 day APK trial from his website here. Installed the app? Good, launch it and follow these instructions:
New > Profile Name > OK > State > Calendar Entry
Under title put what title it will match, for example putting in "Work *" will trigger this profile if you have a calendar entry that starts with Work (Work SDFHOH will also trigger it), use * as a wildcard. Other parameters can also be set if you wish, hit the ? button to see what each does, but the only necessary one is the title. Hit done.
A task selection should automatically pop up. This is what tasker will set your phone to do when it detects the title we set in the previous step. Hit new task, name it if you wish. Hit the + button.
Audio> Silent mode> Chose mode (Vibrate or On (completely silent))> Done
Next step is optional but I like to add a visual queue telling me that the profile activated. Hit the + button again:
Alert> Flash> Enter text you wish to display i.e. "Vibrate mode on".> Done
Hit test if you want to make sure it works, afterward, hit Done. Now tap on the action we just created, it should have a green > arrow saying something like "Silent Mode On/Vibrate/Off" and tap "Add Exit Task" (this will automatically take the phone off of vibrate when meeting/work/school is over.
Hit New Task and name if you want. Hit the + button.
Audio> Silent Mode> Off (or Vibrate, if you always keep your phone on vibrate)> Done
Again the following is if you want to add a visual queue showing that the phone is no longer silenced:
Alert> Flash> Enter text you wish to display i.e. "Vibrate mode off".> Done
Hit done and apply. You're done
Basically what we did is create a Profile that detects if the calendar has a certain title, if so, it will enter the start task and once tasker detects that the calendar no longer has that event active, it will automatically apply the end task.
It should look something like this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
This app is very powerful, you can create literally endless tasks (I have one set to go silent upon arrival at my favorite movie theater, go into silent mode if the phone is getting power from the AC between certain times EXCEPT if I receive a call from certain people, turn my media sound down when I plug in my headphones and pull up a menu letting me chose from all my music apps, say the name of the caller) I recommend you experiment around. There's a site that has a bunch of profiles if you want any ideas located here. Enjoy!
Thanks! I'll check it out.
Is there any way for tasker to silence the phone for all meetings in a certain calendar for google? or during all meetings described as busy?
Yes it's possible. Instead of setting a title, leave that blank and under availiable select No go activate when you're busy OR under calendar hit the little search icon and select your calendar.
Sent from my Evo3D Shooter.
Search the market for "smart silencer". I've been using it for almost a year now.
I actually use Tasker for this. This works fine on my Evo 4GLTE (did a backup and restore from my EVO 4G).
However, the application does have a learning curve. Look the application up online as it's paid for.

I highly recommend Shush (free from the market). It's not "automatic", but what it does do, is when you turn your ringer down, a pop-up lets you quickly pick how long the phone should stay silent and lets it turn back on after that time period.
It's super fast to use (less than 3 seconds to mute and set a time) due to a smart and clean interface. A very nice app, in my opinion.
Don't mean to resurrect a somewhat old thread, but I use Silent Time to automate silent mode for my classes. It doesn't do it initially automatically, but you just set up the event once, what time and days you want it to be silent, and it will do it endlessly until you delete the event or uninstall.
I know its not as automatic as you'd like, but I thought I'd suggest it anyway.
Thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to try to use busy me again, and if that doesn't work I'll just use this

If anyone else wants to know, our phones can do double tap to wake the screen to reduce wear on the power button. A feature most phones have to get root to add.

Nice tip! I've noticed it always starts one way or another depending where I'm coming from. Right now I'm seeing there's about 4 ways to activate camera.
1. From physical shutter button
2. From lockscreen
3. From Camera app in app drawer or home screen
4. From the Camera widget (not including the other downloaded camera features)
Obviously 1 and 2 is advised not to reset, but the latter two is then what you should use to activate the previous settings.

Now that I understand this camera feature I actually find it useful. Sometimes I want to fire off a quick shot using the short cut to start the camera in SA (superior auto mode) as I don't have time to check settings. Other times it takes a double tap unlock and then selection of the camera app to keep previous settings when I know I have time to think about the shot. [emoji4]

My power button just pinged the notification ringtone, my camera button played the Cybershot sound but didn't change screen, and I couldn't pick up calls despite my ringtone playing. I thought my last resort somehow was to either wait for the phone to die (sure, waiting 2-3 days is definitely an option here due to battery life greatness, pfft) or use Android Device Manager and factory reset.
Unfortunately I went with the latter and then found out this one incredible tip: a hard reset button. I never knew such a thing existed for our phones and I would like to inform all new users of it too. This is thanks to @jhwookie for the info.
Tlr, there's a slightly brown button found inside the SIM compartment. Grab something such as a toothpick to press and hold onto the button for a few seconds, and voila. The phone will be hard reset to where you were previously.

Thanks for elaborating further I had mentioned this in OG post.
To make the phone appear faster go to Settings>System>About phone>tap Build number several times till you get Developer options>Drawing>Window animation scale>off,Transition animation scale>off, Animation duration scale>off, x1 is default and x.5 works well too, I prefer "off", don't like animations.
YMMV

THat's good advice for most devices. Smooths out the transitions.
If you guys go into Settings -> Data Usage, you can see which apps is draining the most data. If you want to restrict its background data, select the specified app, and scroll to the bottom to enable the checkbox.
If any of you guys have Snapchat installed, I highly recommend it since it's been noted it takes way too much data since its January 27th update.
Creating new folders in Sony Album
I find that Album isn't completely intuitive when it comes to creating a new Folder to help organize all your pictures. Here's how:
1. From the Album app, swipe from the left side of the screen to open the menu and select "Folders"
2. Open the folder where the picture is currently
3. Find the photo you want to move and long press on it
4. Click on the menu button on the top right of the screen (3 dots), then select "Move to"
5. Click on the plus (+) on the top bar to create a new Folder
6. Name your new Folder and select whether you want it on the SD Card or in Internal Memory
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! ?

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!
If you have any suggestions, add in comments and I'll update the OP. Going to try to keep this list as comprehensive as possible.
Ambient Display: Stock ambient display sucks, so I don't miss it here. But would be nice to get something similar to Moto's active notifications to make use of the amoled panel.
Smart power-save: What does it really do? Is it limiting CPU speed? Is it using a more conservative governor? I can't tell any difference (performance or battery) when it's on vs off.
Voiceprint: Completely useless. I bet not a single person uses this.
MyVoice: This would be MUCH more useful if you could trigger it without touching phone while screen was off. In its current form, the time it takes to unlock my phone, hold back, say my command, and wait for it to respond, I'd be better off just doing whatever I wanted it to do. Screen off voice commands are natively supported by Qualcomm, even when the phone is in Doze.
Gesture & Motion:
-Double tap to wake is very slow and doesn't work when phone has gone into Doze.
It also works in your pocket because there is no proximity sensor check. There needs to be.
-Shake flashlight: You really need to shake your phone violently now. So violently in fact that you will throw your phone more often than not trying to turn your flashlight on.
-Give us some kind of camera gesture when phone is off. Double tap power, hold volume button, shake phone, whatever.
Navigation Keys: Capacitive buttons should be optional. I like being able to swap which side the back button is on, but we should be able to customize long-presses.
Battery Percentage: Should be displayed inside the battery icon or replace it. Uses up a ton of space on the status bar.
Workaround: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.kroegerama.android4batpercent
Holster Mode: Completely useless. This is a phone, not a fitbit. Keeping the phone screen on all the time to use as a pedometer will destroy your battery life.
Cast Screen: Why is this not a toggle in the notification shade? Why do I need to dig into the display settings to do this? You have a dual sim quick-toggle, but not a cast screen quick-toggle?
Sound: I really like that when I mute ringer, media volume also mutes. But when you unmute, it goes back to whatever it was at before, which can be a lot louder than you think. Android should tie all volumes except alarm volume together, but if nothing else, let us tie ringer and notification volume together.
Mute Schedule: Why did they remove stock 6.0's timed do not disturb functionality?
Charging Sounds: Should be able to turn off.
Apps: To disable stock calendar, clock, gallery, mifavor launcher, my voice, stock music app, and stock video app, you have to open "stock android launcher" and drag icons from the app drawer to top of screen. Why can't we just disable these same apps from settings --> apps?
Storage: Let us use adaptable storage!
Connect to PC: Does the "Install driver" option do anything? Have not found a computer that does not install driver automatically when MTP selected.
Lockscreen: Get rid of the bell!
Notification Shade: Editing toggles is nice, but let us add and remove toggles. Many of us don't use a 2nd sim card, so having 3 related toggles is a waste of space.
System UI Tuner: Holding the gear icon in the notification shade causes it to spin and settings to open, but System UI Tuner never appears in settings. If you're not going to let us use System UI Tuner, get rid of the toggle.
Stock Weather widget: I really like the widget, but does not scale when resizing. Also, does not open Google clock if stock clock is disabled when clicked. Oh well, back to Chronus.
Toolkit: Not all of these are very useful, but definitely interesting. If you want to create a home screen shortcut to any of these, open the toolkit app and long press whatever icon you like.
Recent Apps: clear button shouldn't cover up 50% of the currently open app. This will be solved in nougat, so probably not worth fixing, but if you're going to put a clear all button on this screen, but it near the top left or top right so it's harder to accidentally press.
Status Bar Color: When status bar turns dark, icons stay dark so you can't read anything. These should turn white.
Speaker Phone: If on speaker phone and screen times out, other person can no longer hear you until you toggle speakerphone off then back on, which means constantly touching your phone's screen so it doesn't time out.
Phone call Proximity Sensor: Doesn't work. If you turn the screen off and hold the phone up to your head, if the proximity sensor sees light, which it will because it's not centered, it will turn the screen BACK ON. With this and the bug above together, phone calls are a huge pain in the ass.
Dolby Atmos: This resets EQ settings very often. I can't figure out what causes it to reset to default, but the settings just never seem to stick.
Anyone have any more info on this?
Write Protection on Rooted phones: Rooted and still can't get adaway or titanium backup to work? Turns out there's an extra layer of write protection here that's not found in other phones. Why do we need this? Luckily, there's a simple fix: Plug phone into computer, load up adb, type "adb reboot disemmcwp" (source:http://androidforums.com/threads/zte-write-protection-for-zmax-and-other-zte-phones.1040331/)
Disable stock apps: in B20, you could disable several stock apps that did not allow you to disable them in settings --> apps by opening"stock Android" launcher and dragging app drawer icons to disable. Seems that has been removed in B27, so now we have no way to disable redundant clocks and calendars to name a few.
Any more suggestions? Anyone know any fixes for the above?

You can enable this with an app - search for "Battery Percent Enabler" in the Play Store. This was mentioned elsewhere in the forum - credit goes there.

Good summary. I can't believe someone actually thought the notification bell (and subsequently, the inability to turn it off) was a good idea.
I'm going to try to list workarounds here as well, so if someone can come up with good fixes for any of this stuff without waiting for ZTE, please share!
Updated with some new findings and ideas.
I actually like the bell, let's me check the time without having to worry about somebody seeing embarrassing notifications. ?

But Android already has a perfectly working system to hide notification content before unlocking the device. You can even pick which apps to show and which ones to hide. And, most importantly, it's OPTIONAL. And it's actually much better at protecting your privacy. With the bell, all the content is visible without actually unlocking your phone.. it just makes it more inconvenient to access.

What about the charging sound? I got my phone on vibrate all the time (a phone ringing is considered super rude in most part of europe) and it just vibrates a bit when plugging in.

Mine does the same (also on mute all the time). Apparently if you have volume on, it makes noise. Either way, should be able to toggle the "charging notification".

What do you mean with stock android launcher? Where do i find it? I cant deactive this bloat without root
The phone, at least in US version, comes with a launcher called "Stock Android Launcher", but it is just a differently themed MiFlavor launcher, not a real stock android launcher. Confusing, but that is what is there.

Settings > Themes and Wallpapers.
On the US model, there's a theme titled "Stock Android". When using that theme, you can open up the app drawer, press and hold on an app, and on the top of the screen there's a "Disable" option. This is different from the standard Settings > Apps > selecting an app > Disable (which is greyed out for most of the stock apps).

Sadly, no such option on G Version -.- only 5 slightly different ZTE themes.
Also no Myvoice in g version. WTF?!
@xxBrun0xx: I saw you linked to this list in a ZTE forum, but I think it would be better if it had its own thread as well.
In addition to "wake on plug" toggle I mentioned a few posts above, I would like to see an option to remap capacitative buttons to whatever user wants, right now they can only be "flipped", but ability to have custom functions (on both short and long press) would be helpful. I personally, would like to use one of the button for menu rather than for recent apps.
Hi, I can not automate hibernate from applications. Even having already done for Greenify:
1. Enabled accessibility services.
2. Activated as device administrator.
3. Enabled application with access to use.
4. It is enabled for apps that want to hibernate: "ignore running state" and "ignore background-free".
5. I have already cleared the cache, the data, forced the stop, uninstall and reinstall Greenify.
6. In "Troubleshooting", via pc (ADB and USB Debugging), I enabled: "Awakened Application Tracker", "Quick Activation Notification" and "Service Guardian".
7. Reset factory.
8. I've never been warned that automatic hibernation has stopped working.
I always need to confirm the closure of each app manually.
And that way, when the apps auto-start again (without me opening them), Greenify does not hibernate them, they appear in the notification bar and I need to hibernate manually.
I already tried with the option "alternative screen off mode" checked and unchecked, but I get the same result, as well as "quick action notification".
Greenify Free Version: 3.8.5, without use Xposed

Automatic hibernation will happen only when the screen locks that too after sometime. Not when you are using the phone.
Can you give the name of an app (as an example) which refuses to hibernate?
Automatic Hibernation and Automated Hibernation are not working
I understand that it is an automatic hibernation and a shutdown time of the screen. Automatic Hibernation does not work, instead of a screen, with this option enabled, after 35 sec the screen switches back on and off quickly. That's only 1 app to hibernate. When manually connecting a screen and checking Greenify, nothing happened. None of the applications scheduled to hibernate have been hibernated, and sometimes others that have already hibernated have self-initialized. Therefore, I have disabled Automatic Hibernation, whether enabled or not, Automated Hibernation does not work.
Both Automatic Hibernation and Automated Hibernation are not working. Automated Hibernation is responsible for not having to manually tap the screen, so that each app is forcibly finalized. These issues (from not working Automatic Hibernation like Automated Hibernation) I'm facing in Greenify for all the apps I put on the hibernation list, I've attached an image with a few. Failure in Automated Hibernation can be seen in the screenshots I've attached. I always need to tap "Ok" to continue hibernation, ie manual hibernation, because the Automated Hibernation feature is not working.

I have recently noticed that I enable the Greenify accessibility option, but when trying to hibernate the app, automated hibernation does not occur and automatic hibernation after turning off the screen also does not work. Then I turn the accessibility options to check: Greenify is disabled. I re-enable, but the option is disabled when trying to hibernate by Greenify.

Accessibility option needs to be enabled only if you are not rooted. But with Google recently changing the policy regarding apps using the Accessibility service, it may not work at all for Greenify.
Regarding your issue, I have not come across anyone else complaining of similar behaviour. How long do you wait after screen off to check if an app is hibernated?
Enable Automatic Hibernation in Root mode, choose a few apps for hibernation. Start each of the apps chosen for hibernation and then close them. Lock the screen and wait for about 15 minutes. Now unlock the screen and open Greenify and take a screenshot. Attach it here or post it anywhere and provide the link to it.
Also let us know what ROM you are using, whether rooted or not, whether using Xposed or not etc.

I removed all the data and cache and uninstalled the app. I became a tester and installed the app beta, but the result was the same. Even if I enable accessibility to the app, I still have to tap the OK button on the screen for each app I want to hibernate.

Did you enable the Quick Action Notification? If so, you may have to manually hibernate each app.
Since I am rooted, I am not able to reproduce your scenario. I think that your ROM or device may be incompatible since your other phone behaves as expected.
Can't unlock Greenify on LG G4
When Greenify locks the screen on my LG G4 I cannot open screen with a double tap, like I was able to in the past, I have to push the power button to be able to use my phone.

When Greenify locks the screen on my LG G4 I cannot open screen with a double tap, like I was able to in the past, I have to push the power button to be able to use my phone. I have Android 6.0, Greenify 4.1, non-rooted. Tried disabling Auto hibernation for manual, same problem. Have donation package (But can't find icon) . Love Greenify, used to work great but have to fix this problem. Please help.

Assume you do not have shallow hibernation and/or aggressive doze enabled. Me thinks Greenify is activating the lock screen via a standard Android call that bypasses kernel support for double tap. Probably not going to find an easy fix on an unrooted system given age of platform, ROM generation and uniqueness of issue (do not recall this being reported before).
Go-to Developer Options and Disable Miui optimisations, Greenify will work now.
Don't know why, but it will work.
Thank you but my developer option does not contain Miui optimisations.

I have attached screenshot, it's last option in Developer Settings.
I am on MiUi Global 9.6, buy as I read in other forums, this is available in other versions too.

Poster stated device is a LG G4. Why would the (presumably) stock ROM have MiUi options?
This is a picture of the bottom of my Developer Options, no MiUi there.

Yes, it is stock and I don't know what a MiUi is, sounds like a Pokemon character.
