Greenify (Donation Package) for Android
All features working fine, inc system apps hibernation. IMHO should be standard on custom ROM's at least. No issues/conflicts with other modules I use: DS Battery saver, Amplify etc. Happy to support Developer: £2 well spent even if I return to ART runtime & disable Xposed framework. BBS xda_ed showed much improved stats even before buying donate version to enable full features. Excellent support & advice from Oasis also. Thanks..
This app seems to do the opposite of what it's supposed to. Installing the paid version and enabling the experimental features with greenifying apps like Google play and whatsapp lead to battery drainage like never before, over 15% during the night, with the phone being >6 hrs awake due to activity of Google services. Removed Greenify - and deep sleep is back to normal. I presume those experimental features trigger some sort of constant activity in Google services.
Great App. Does its job perfectly. However the main app is saying I don't have the donation app, which I do (OBVIOUSLY SINCE I'M WRITING THIS HERE). Every time I try to enable a donations-required option it leads me to this page with the big green installed button. However I don't have this issue with my ZTE Grand Max+, so it might be my low-end HTC phone so it's still 5 stars from me.
Hi, i just purchased the donation package and testing it for last few hours.. Noticed that all the system aaps i hibernate are keep on running in background after few minutes.. If its going to work like this then i dont want this version.. I was happy with the free version... Just give me refund!
So this app is awesome, definitely improves battery life no doubt. I only have 2 issues, one is that I wish it could perform the force close methods with the screen off. And the other issue is specific to the LG V20. When I lock the screen and it does the force closing, the secondary display flashes on and off until its done and afterwards my secondary display will show only the numbers for the time, and not the date or am/pm like it should. Other than that great stuff guys
This app is good but it does require some research to understand and to properly implement. One simple feature I would like implemented is a "show all" choice which would allow apps to be listed every time I open the app. Presently you must click "shoe more" and then tick show all" which then reverts to original list once one action is taken.
This app is just marvellous. If you want to increase your battery life, search no more. Some apps, like Evernote periodically wake up, though. But the widget hibernates all previously selected apps with just one tap. Also, I have issues with keeping notifications when the app is hibernated. One suggestion would be to implement a setting to wake up all or some hibernated apps at certain periods to enable synching. I use Tasker and the greenify plug–in to accomplish this. A built in option would be nice.
Needed the donate version to freeze "system apps" like Facebook. Works perfect! Makes my phone run smooth as butter, no more unresponsiveness while I wonder what the hell my phone is doing that's more important than what I want it to do. Might be the most valuable app on playstore, I hope this feature gets added to android permanently.
I've been using this ever since I've been rooted, it's great if you aren't rooted as well but you'll be missing out on quite-a-few great features... And once you add the xposed framework, there is no better control for your battery eating apps!
LOVE your app and have been using the free edition for a while. I decided to buy the donation version and now my hibernate+lock feature does not work! I have been using Nova Launcher and I had set-up a double click gesture to hibernate+lock screen! Ever since I downloaded the Donation version, it doesn't work! Made sure Nova is alright! Please fix! Thanks! Even put a short cut for HIbernate + lock screen through greenify on the launcher, and it still doesn't do anything!
Note 3 N900T lp cmremix 12. Installed xposed and was looking forward to finally getting some extra use from the paid features. Dang didn't work, says I need to install xposed when ticking a check box. Xposed is installed. Cool to see this working someday.
I've been using this app for a long time, combined with Xposed framework and Power Saver for maximum result. This is very beast, my phone's standby-time increased significantly and no need to charge frequently. It's one of the other worthed app that u can pay for your beloved phone.
The donation features are great! I already turn off Sync when not plugged in, but was discharging around 2-3%/hour with very light usage. With the wake lock coalescing and cloud support, I'm down to 1%/hour with not-quite-as-light usage. 92% at the end of the work day!
Hybernating system apps is ineffective for me (using a galaxy s4). Although hybernation of system apps works, they will always be woken through their wake-up paths. Some apps have never ending wake-up paths, and some apps just ignore me cutting them off. Still, 5 stars as I like Greenify a lot.
Same thing here, don't really need this. Just buy it to show my gratuity to Oasis. Good work man, keep working on it. P.S. Okay, the hibernate system app things seems to be cool. I'll try it out. Why I want google+, google wallet, and newsstand running in the background. Don't need any of them.
Just use this apps in about a week but I'm quite satisfied with the result. Really worth donating. :-) UPDATE: Not sure if devs reads this, but if they do, I'd like to request that when we wants to put apps into greenify list, the apps that already in the list will use a different colors than the one that not yet in the list. Thanks.
Generally the app is good, but I found that the free version is enough for my device. Because I'm a little disappointed as most the system app I would like to hibernate , cannot be hibernated properly. Until that point, I realized that the functions and benefits i enjoyed just same as the free version, so I would like to request a refund. TQ for the work, really appreciate it.
Even though I'm using CM11, extreme OOM settings, I couldn't have many apps installed. With Greenify I can install any app I want, that it won't affect the performance. Really really happy with this!!
MUCH better battery life out of my Verizon Note 5 (no root). I can finally make it through more than 1 day on a single charge thanks to aggressive doze! Combined with a package disabler and Tasker, works like a champ. Happy to support the devs, even if I can't use root functions.
Brought its donation pack as I used to love it for its battery saving features. But now it is useless as it it demands that you can't lock screen by fingerprint . Now every tom and dick use fingerprint lock. In which world do you live in dear...regretting my purchase now. plz refund asap
Love this app, it's a must have in my opinion. EDIT: Nexus Imprint unlocking is working correctly now, original issue I had is below for reference. (Just got a new phone though and there is one problem. It's a Nexus 6P, and when I hibernate + lock the phone asks for pin on wake every time. So bypassing the lockscreen with fingerprint doesn't work anymore.)
I so want this to work better without rooting and needing Exposed. Rooting is just not so easy for many phones and carriers. I am so tired of abusive apps, especially the ones I can't remove without rooting... So tired of how many newer apps restart even with greenify. If greenify can't keep an App closed without root access: that App is acting like Malware and the developer must know that. I am tired of paying to be abused and I wish greenify could help more
This has worked beautifully for years on every device I've owned until I recently upgraded to a OnePlus 3. It doesn't even request root permissions from SuperSU. Latest Stock OxygenOS Marshmallow ROM rooted and latest Xposed Framework installed. Please help!
As for some others, greenifying system apps and enabling deep sleep (the reason I got the paid version) caused increased battery drain. Disabling these fixed the issue. Would be good to understand why this happens for some and not others and how to fix.
Like others I don't really need the extra features from the donate version but have purchased it to support the excellent developer. Edit: one problem I do have is backing up/restoring using Titanium. Greenify donation complains about being corrupted and I have to reinstall from Play Store.
This hasn't worked on my sm-p600 for a year and a half. No exaggeration. I've sent many emails to the dev with no response. I've tried every sane way possible to get it to work with Greenify, but it always says I need to purchase the donation package.
The framework does not work with Cyanogenmod, causes the phone to really slow down badly, becoming laggy and unresponsive. Even though it does not work with Cyanogenmod I purchased and did not ask for a refund when I found out just to support the dev, greenify is a cracking program. Hopefully 1 day it will.
I'm expecting rebooting issues after installation of donation package and enabling experimental features like GMC and don't remove notification on my nexus 6p with pure nexus custom rom.. Hope you will fix this issue soon.. Otherwise i would have rated 5stars
Love all the new features about this app! This is an excellent battery saver, especially when used in combination with a few other apps. The one improvement I can see in future updates would be the ability to create your own wake up paths. I have been experimenting with putting Google play to sleep as many of its features destroy battery life... But some apps such as snapchat rely on this application. It would be nice if I could cut off wake up paths as well as create a new customized one for efficiency.
Like other comments: Won't open the experimental sections, therefore a ripoff. Could have grabbed a cold one at the local carry out. Supported Mainland China? Guess so. Deletion of both apps ASAP. Google doesn't care about us.
I though that GCM + xposed will work but its still not working , im disapointed with my donation package :/ ihope it can be fixed still miui clear ram has same function of hibernating an app
Edit: now 5days. Paid for it 3 days ago and still can't activate the the paid parts.(see full description) Going back to the old 2.8 Betta v2 Very disappointing that such a great app has such crappy delayed activation response
I love this app...it does exactly what its supposed to...this is a great app but i have a little issue with my note4 when the case is closed it cant access the apps to shut them down...just wondering if there is anything the developer can do to maybe fix this if not what ever this app is awesome!!!
I purchased it mainly for the features you can have when using it with the Xposed app. I didn't succeed installing it. Thus I cannot use the app as I wanted... Last update from Xposed dev is from more than one year ago... App is dead????
Bought this for the GCM function. After working with apps and checking things out, I have gotten it working on Facebook Messenger, Hangouts, Hellotalk, Pushbullet, and Chatous. Skype status is unknown. (WeChat and QQ are unsupported as far as I know).
Like others I don't really need the extra features from the donate version but have purchased it to support the excellent developer. Edit: one problem I do have is backing up/restoring using Titanium. Greenify donation complains about being corrupted and I have to reinstall from Play Store.
I have used the free version for 2 years and I think the Dev. deserve the donation for such a great app. Finally purchased. But I want to clarify one thing that this purchase cost me Rs.100/- whereas the cost of the app is Rs.50/- only. Why the additional Rs.50 is charged. Total Rs.100/- is charged in two continuous transactions. Can you please clarify the issue.
I'm using asus zenfone 2, its x86 based arch, xposed module cant be installed on x86 based android.. Then for what reason i donate :D, hopefully there will be more x86 apps
Broke junk. Not going to install Play Services to fix it, because it's broke junk too. Catch 22. No longer on Amazon app store, so it's 2x broke junk beyond caring.

Using Kit Kat with the Android runtime (ART) is faster and will eventually become mainstream. This in effect kills Xposed Framework app as the developer himself indicated he has to re-write it and basically said he would not. Not having Xposed also kills the experimental features. Will put my rating back to 5 stars when fixed. I still encourage people to donate as Greenify is awesome even without experimental features and the developer should be compensated for this great app.
