The name says it all. There's quite a few of system apps/processes. From a user's experience, which ones have you Greenify'd safely, without altering the functionality of your phone in a negative way?

This is the reborn version of Adblocker, which helps you block advertisements from various Ad-Network.
It can block advertisements in many aspects according to a pre-loaded-list, such as activities, views, hosts-based, webview-based, receivers and many many more.
It does not affect system hosts file, and does not conflict with it either. It also has whitelist feature so you can easily control it. You can also use it along with AdAway or other adblockers to extend its power, especially built-in app ads.
This module is being actively developed, and I will update it about every ten days. If you have any issues or want to contribute to the project, feel free to contact me via Github or XDA.
MOD EDIT
Numerous reports from users of certain devices that this module can disable things, cause erratic behaviour and other issues, have been reported.
Specifically, most of these seem to be related to users of Xiaomi's Mi-line of devices. In the case of these devices, the module can cause behaviour such as stopping the launcher and removing some options from settings, making the module difficult to remove.
Proceed with your own caution, and preferably a backup to restore if you encounter such erratic behaviours. This will also be posted in the OP of the thread.
There are varying alternatives that work well. This module has also NOT been updated at all lately, and it's recommended that users seek alternatives.
Download:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.aviraxp.adblocker.continued
Features:
- Activityies Block
- Views Block
- Hosts Block (Not affect system hosts file)
- WebView Block
- Services Block
- Receivers Block
- .............
Principle of Work:
I hook some fundamental classes and methods of Android system, check if they are included in a pre-loaded-list (maintained by me), and break the calling of these classes and methods if included. There might be some false positives so feel free to contact me.
FAQs:
- How does it work compared to AdAway and MinMinGuard?
AdAway modifies system hosts file to redirect some ad servers to local host, thus prevent from accessing them. MinMinGuard blocks some prebuilt app Ad providers from taking effect. My application have both of their features, and extends by blocking services and receivers.
- Where is the hosts' source?
Now, it covers Dan Pollock's hosts and some app specific blocking hosts. I am searching for good sources which is simple and effective. If you have some suggestions, feel free to let me know.
- Why does not it take effects to some browsers?
The reason is basically the same as unbeloved hosts. Some browsers have their own network solutions which conflict with the normal handling method. But for browsers which simply use original WebView loading method it works well.
- There are some false positives!
Contact me via Github or here. You can also use the whitelist feature. For element whitelist, just enable debug logging, find the element(activities, hosts, views...) according to a 'block success' line, and add them to the whitelist. Each element takes one line.
- I need to view ads for some reason.
Use the whitelist feature. However, some apps uses Android System WebView as an elements loader, so you should whitelist it too. But this will ramp down the power of blocking. I am working on a better whitelist feature.
- I want to donate to you for your work.
Use the PayPal donation option:https://www.paypal.me/wanghan1995315. But it will not make any difference or be a privilege for you. There is no such thing as advanced support.
- How can I contribute to you if I found something useful (hosts, Ad SDKs)?
I am working on a block list repo on Github. Feel free to open a pull request.

From my personal experience, it does not have any evident effect on battery. But to be honest, every exposed module will affect battery since the phone now has more work to do, which is implemented by the module. I will keep the battery consumption as low as possible.

Uhm what exactly is the reason I should use this. I just tested a website for adblock check, whereas adaway active lead to first pic.
Disable adblock and enable this tool and restart lead to the second one. So obviously the ad had not been blocked by this mod.
Is your mod for ads in games or how should i understand that?
Just a bit confused, sry
Awesome module
What can this xposed module/app do that THIS APP can't? Just curious, thanks!
@aviraxp thanks a ton!! Obviously does the trick especially when it comes to being redirected to a million other places then what I clicked on. In that sense, that is something that adway does not do no matter what host file/s I use as well as adguard and minminguard. There were a couple sites I just about swore off because it was impossible to do anything as far as a navigation goes but I can do as I like now thank you very much.

I guess you are using Opera, right? Opera has its own proxy solution and unfortunately it does not use the system web view, thus I cannot get it work with the same reason as UnbelovedHosts. I am still searching for more stable hooking methods.

Ah..ok, nevermind.
Just gave the module another go, still having the same issue.
I'm playing this game : Animation Throwdown the Quest for Cards, and i have minminguard installed and the game whitelisted, the game offers ads in exchange for some increased drop rates, and you have to click on the watch button for the ads to start, which in my setup works well.
When i install this module, activate, whitelist the game, reboot (exact steps), clicking the watch ads button in game does nothing, rebooting doesn't change anything.
Once i disable/remove the module and reboot i can run the ads again, haven't tried with other apps since i don't have any others with ads in them tbh.

Thx for reading, and please forgive my poor English.
The Greenify is the best app I had been used for cut-off apps. But I found that there are two problem:
(My phone is Xiaomi MI MIX 2S running MIUI 10 8.6.18 [Android O], with Greenify Version 4.1)
1. Can not create hibernation shortcut
When I tried to create a hibernation shortcut, the Greenify noticed that the creating was succeed. But I can not find out the shortcut in my launcher. Neither type of shortcut can be created. And I don't know why and how to fix it.
An additional detail:
when I used the permission manager to make sure that the Greenify need to request my approval to create a shortcut and then I tried to create a hibernation shortcut, there was no prompt box for requesting approval (Under normal circumstances there should be a prompt box). It seemed that somehow the Greenify did not work properly in shortcut creating.
2. Wake-up Tracker often disabled for unknown reasons
I enabled Wake-up Tracker and after a while I found that Wake-up Tracker had been disabled. Then I enabled again, after a while it had been disabled again.
Please tell me how to fix these problem, any guidance is appreciated.

I am surprised by the details furnished by you including device details, though it is your first post. Usually it is a case of "Unable to create shortcut, anyone has any idea" sort of posts that we encounter. Thanks for providing the details, though I may not be able to offer solutions.
I also faced the Wakeup Tracker issue before I uninstalled Greenify, so I have no solution for this.
Reg. the creation of shortcut, try clearing the data and cache of Greenify/uninstall and reinstall etc. If none of them work, MIUI may be an issue since it reportedly heavily modifies the Android OS.
Having said that, I would advice you to uninstall Greenify and use your phone for a couple of days. You may be surprised by the way the phone behaves even without Greenify.
I am one of the votaries of the belief (with reason) that apps like Greenify are not needed on Oreo since the OS itself behaves very well. Unless you specifically find some app misbehaving which can not be controlled without apps like Greenify, simply enjoy your device.

Yes, You may not know that, a huge of apps which developed by Chinese companies and provided to Chinese are designed strangely, they are trying their best to stay in background, call up each other and push AD messages in notification bar (sorry if I misspelled), and the companies have some agreements with Chinese OS provider such as Xiaomi to avoid killing their apps in background in Chinese version Android OS.
One of them is Alibaba, which has three most popular app in China, Taobao, Tmall and Alipay. But these three apps are designed to keep alive as much as possible and call up each other very frequently, just for push messages to introduce goods on Taobao and Alibaba's wide range of services, applications and merchandise. (BTW, I believe that a big part of app keep-alive technologies are developed by the programmers in Chinese companies.)
So maybe You can understand my pain. _зゝ∠)_

Greenify version? Rooted? Xposed?
For my device details see signature block.
I assume you don't require a video how to search the web. Such a serach with the keyworks "greenify", "help" and "adb" provides e.g. following page at the very top that most likely satisfies your needs.

Here is an Xposed Module for hooking Grindr to fix a few bugs, and deal with ads and other things, given those have made the app almost unusable...
These will change over time / need to be updated as new versions of Grindr get releaseed, this currently works with 8.10.0 which is now rolling out.
-This should allow you to unsend messages multiple times (a feature of the XMPP Protocol used by Grindr) as long as they were relatively recent messages
-This should also allow you to send as many expiring photos as you wish.
-This should block / remove most ads but not all of them on it's own (more info on this will be shared below...)
-This should allow you to use FakeGPS
-This should fix bugs where some filters were not working as they should
-You should be able to enable the "mark who I've chatted with" option, which before would pop up ads
This will not enable things such as disabling the VPN check (someone complained about this where I was posting before) If I enable this I will let you know, but for now it's not in here
I WILL NOT help you troubleshoot device specific problems, I am releasing this as an Xposed module, and that's where it's been tested, It has also worked under EdXposed and LSPosed but I cannot guarantee this for you, and you are on your own if you have problems with those. I have tested this on everything from Android 5 to Android 10, I have not tested on the newest versions of the Android OS but if you have XPosed or other way of running such modules on the newer OS it should work.
This will make your grid look like it's Unlimited, but if you scroll down to that area and select one of those profiles it may load the first profile in the grid, The main reason for this module was to deal with the annoyance of ads and other slight bugs in the program, if you have issues please share what they are and what did / didn't work properly.
TO REMOVE MORE ADS
----------------------------------
If you can run XPosed I will assume you have root access, which will allow you to remove ads completely with this method. Grindr processes "features" and the list inside the app is as follows
Subscriber,
FreeTrial,
HideBannerAds, <====
HideFullScreenAds, <====
UnlimitedFavorites,
UnlimitedBlocks,
MyTypeFilters,
PhotosOnlyFilter,
OnlineNowFilter,
FaceOnlyFilter,
AlbumsOnlyFilter,
HaventChattedFilter,
ChatRemoteProfiles,
TapRemoteProfiles,
SavedPhrases,
HaveChattedHighlight,
LongCascade,
TapFilters,
SendMultiplePics,
MoreChatGroups,
LastChattedTimestamp,
ChatReadStatus,
MultiTribes,
Incognito,
ViewedMeCascade,
ViewedMeTimestamp,
UnsentMessage,
UnlimitedCascade,
TypingIndicator,
CreateVideoCall,
VideoCallMonthlyCalculateLengthMedium,
TranslateMessage,
UnlimitedExpiringPhotos,
HideXtraStore,
HideUnlimitedStore,
ShortCascade,
MediumCascade,
MoreGuysCascade,
DisableScreenshot,
Boosting,
ABTestViewedMeCascadeLabelFront,
ABTestViewedMeCascadeLabelBehind,
NewWarnings,
LongTagCascade,
UnlimitedTagCascade;
It also processes some "features" through a file called "jwt_features_fallback.xml" which is located in "/data/data/com.grinderapp.android/shared_prefs" normally this files looks like this:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' standalone='yes' ?>
<map>
<long name="session_expiration_time" value="1654228104000" />
<string name="session_features_fallback">CreateVideoCall,,MaxViewQuota5,,MultiTribes,,PushPreview,,VideoCallDailyFree</string>
<string name="session_roles_fallback"></string>
</map>
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you add the "features" in there HideFullScreenAds and HideBannerAds that will remove the remaining ads so you have a hassle free experience when using the app. These changes only last one hour, and this patcher does not adjust that file as this is currently beyond my knowledge and know-how so you will have to do this manually. If you have questions, please try something and if you need help please ask and I will respond as time permits or others can if they have fixed problems and know how.

I hope I won't get banned like some guys who used a similar mod before. Once they block you, there's practically no way of getting your account reinstated.
So far it works as intended. No ads whatsoever, filters and cloud backup work, more guys visible in the cascade.
Any chance of making it possible to see more than 1 visitor?
My phone S20 Ultra with Android 12, latest Magisk Alpha and LSposed 1.8.3 (6565). When using LSposed you need to add Grindr to the scope list to make the mod work.

There are many things possible, the issue is figuring out what needs to be done to make the viewers list show up. I have looked at the code slightly but have not made much progress there yet. If you use Jadx you can view the code in the APK if anyone is wondering what tools I've used, that is one of the main ones for viewing various parts of the apk file.

Hello and good morning, @innit
I'd like to inform you that I've very slightly edited your post and changed those words, which were in violation of rule no. 2 of the XDA Forum Rules; however, I'm convinced that my change didn't alter the information you intended to pass. I'd appreciate if you watch your language closer in future.
Additionally and although I'm convinced you didn't mean it that way, the words you initially used could at the first glace been easily referred to the moderators team of this website. I guess we want to avoid this.

MOD ACTION:
Thread closed as per OP's request.
Since M66B decided to discontinue support for XPrivacyLua and the official thread was closed I'm starting this unofficial thread to continue discussing the module.
It currently works up to android 13 with LSPosed.
Source code can be found at the author's github https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua
FAQ https://github.com/M66B/XPrivacyLua/blob/master/FAQ.md
Please read the original thread as it contains a lot of useful information https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...-android-privacy-manager-unsupported.3730663/
Disclaimer: I am not the developer of the module. I'm a long time user of XPrivacy/XPrivacyLua who wants to keep using it on future android versions. All credits for this module go to the developer and the people who made the custom hooks.
Best module to date
Thank you for creating new thread for XPL user.
is there a trick to get new apps automatically checked on lsposed? Otherwise, the option that new apps take all rights during installation does not work.

Hello and good morning, @VD171
I guess you need to address the OP @mythos_ with this question but as far as I understand it's about the Xposed module XPrivacyLua by @M66B and not about LSPosed. If my assumption is correct it's on the OP to decide if LSPosed related questions and contributions are off-topic (OT) or not. A moderator will never get involved to that unless a threadowner (and only the owner) reports something as OT.

The main focus should be on XPL but since LSPosed is needed to run XPL, I see nothing wrong with discussing it here.
QoL things like how to auto-add new apps to LSPosed are fine. Of course if people want a more in depth discussion (e.g. bugs, new features, etc.) they should post in the LSPosed threads as the developers don't read this.

According to github there is a whole bunch of people who forked it in the past month. How active they will be in the future and (more importantly) how much you can trust them is another issue.
when this project was abandoned by m66b did he opensource the "pro" app?
and is the code available now for free to be built from source?
or is there a link to the last version?
i hope someone keeps working on this, as privacy is more and more important the more stuff is kept on our phones.

I've already reported to @M66B about "MEW wallet" app which can't be restricted (tested on A10) to access camera (not sure is it was photo or video - app is handling QR codes) at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...acy-manager-unsupported.3730663/post-87416749.
Now I've installed LineageOS 20 (A13) and noticed default Camera app (which is new "Aperture" Lineage app) also can't be restricted to BOTH video and photo (but microphone restriction works okay and result in recording video without sound).
Looks like there are some new API to be restricted… so, @M66B, maybe you can update XPrivacyLua a bit to fix this? Or at least give some hint for someone who might wanna fork it?

I've checked both Tasker methods to update LSPosed.
First one (UI automation) didn't work because there are no "LSPosed Manager" app (it's now started only as a widget, and I don't found a way in Tasker to start widget), so this unlikely can be fixed at all.
Second one (database editing) might work… but to me it looks unsafe: each time new app is installed it does kill `lspd` (LSPosed daemon, I suppose) after editing database for 1 second and then restarts it. I think this might result in allowing app apps to bypass XPrivacyLua restictions within that 1 second. No idea how to test this.
Also I've tried to replace original LSPosed with modified version https://github.com/mywalkb/LSPosed_mod - it works like a charm: installed as drop-in replacement over original one, keeps all configuration of original one after reboot and provide new UI to automatically add new apps to XPrivacyLua module! To me it looks like main and only actual way to continue using XPrivacyLua for now.

I've already reported to @M66B about "MEW wallet" app which can't be restricted (tested on A10) to access camera (not sure is it was photo or video - app is handling QR codes) at https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...acy-manager-unsupported.3730663/post-87416749.
Now I've installed LineageOS 20 (A13) and noticed default Camera app (which is new "Aperture" Lineage app) also can't be restricted to BOTH video and photo (but microphone restriction works okay and result in recording video without sound).
Looks like there are some new API to be restricted… so, @M66B, maybe you can update XPrivacyLua a bit to fix this? Or at least give some hint for someone who might wanna fork it?

@M66B won't care with that.
You should do what you want by yourself or wait and hope to someone else release that.

I've checked both Tasker methods to update LSPosed.
First one (UI automation) didn't work because there are no "LSPosed Manager" app (it's now started only as a widget, and I don't found a way in Tasker to start widget), so this unlikely can be fixed at all.
Second one (database editing) might work… but to me it looks unsafe: each time new app is installed it does kill `lspd` (LSPosed daemon, I suppose) after editing database for 1 second and then restarts it. I think this might result in allowing app apps to bypass XPrivacyLua restictions within that 1 second. No idea how to test this.
Also I've tried to replace original LSPosed with modified version https://github.com/mywalkb/LSPosed_mod - it works like a charm: installed as drop-in replacement over original one, keeps all configuration of original one after reboot and provide new UI to automatically add new apps to XPrivacyLua module! To me it looks like main and only actual way to continue using XPrivacyLua for now.

"auto-add" is a waste of time.
LSPosed is developed for avoiding something like "all-add" or "auto-add".
Since you are talking about something that is contrary to the official release, LSPosed developers will never read and care to the thread.

According to github there is a whole bunch of people who forked it in the past month. How active they will be in the future and (more importantly) how much you can trust them is another issue.
