As quoted on their v2.0 update,
What's New
v2.0 (rolling out)
Greenify now works on non-root devices! Try out the non-root working mode (without automatic hibernation due to privilege restriction).
Shortcut "Hibernate All" can now be created also from main menu in Greenify.
Greatly improved the stability of auto-hibernation service, especially on Android 4.4+.
Bugfixes.

Now if only they can get TiBu to work without root, I'd no longer have a reason to root my device..
Let me decide which apps / carrier bloat I want on my device (read: none of it).
Seems like I still can't hibernate some apps. I can't get it to work.

that is really good news, but what does automatic hibernation do?

Automatic hibernation, automatically hibernate apps that you manually set to hibernate?
Oh yeah, guys, they are still rolling out the v2.0, I still have 1.99 so it still doesn't work.

automatically hibernate what I already manually hibernated? I am sure that there is something missing
or do you mean that it will re-hibernate the apps after opening them or restarting the device?

Yes, it will re-hibernate the apps after opening or after using them. BUT auto-hibernation doesn't work with non-rooted phones.
Still waiting for the v2.00
Totally unusable without rooting.

Only useful to stop battery drain if you know u will be without a charger four a long number of hours.
Otherwise more hassle than its worth.
What does the paid version give you? And is it worth it.

Mine is working and my Z1 is not rooted, it just ask to force stop the application first, then it will hibernate the app. Check it again.

Well, if you have any unwanted apps that runs on the background and eats the juice of your battery, greenify will put them to sleep.

My point is that it's more hassle to do all the force closing than recharging more frequently.
The only time it's really helpful is if u will be without a charger for a really really long time and you have no choice but to slow down battery drain.
I have root and Paid Greenify, my Battery is amazing and Paid Version adds nice Features.

Paid is awesome - hibernated AND still get push notifications.
Best app for saving battery

Once all apps are force closed by the app... The drain is almost zero.
There is an option to automate it

There is an option to automate it (for non rooted). You still have to select the "hibernate now" manually but it will then automatically force close all the apps selected by you for greenifying..I have had this since about 3 months or so. It works only on my Xperia Z1 but not on my Galaxy Tab (GT-P3113) (which is on 4.2.2)

I use it frequently now.
That's a pretty useful add-on. It's turned a useless app into a useful one.

How do i close a program in the magic, i dont want it running in the background. Is there a prog like a taskmanager or something..??
Hi ,
Download "advance task manager lite" off the Market. This is a very very helpful app which can close all your programs running and very simple to use. And it is Free.
If you need anymore help feel free to post back
CLLC
There is no such app in my market. Can anyone share a free version? Thanks

It's a free version. The actual name is "Advanced Task Manager Lite" so do a search on "Advanced".
I did do a search and can't find it. Anyone else managed to find it under Rogers in Canada?
I can easy find it. I use it every day, but i find it a bit strange that you cant close apps in any other way! And alot of programs doesnt have a "Quit/Exit" function.
Does anyone have any explanation to why its not possible to close programs without download extra programs?
you know,
I think i heard Something about when you leave the app , it does actually sort of close.
It saves the state you left it in (freezes) and unfreezes when you enter it again. So really the App is not running or using any comsumption at all until you are in the app.

This is true.
It is because android is awesome at app management. There is no real need for closing apps. It leaves apps kinda open (saves their state in ram) but not running. That`s why most apps open so fast. And even though more ram is "in use" it doesn`t cost you battery life.
Thanks for confirming ,
What a fantatic way , The OS is fantastic and I can guarantee that Android has alot of potential and Can only get better and come up with more technological breaking idea's!!

Anyway. I love Android more and more. But i was shocked when i found out that you cant send or receive files via bluetooth. I hope this is their number 1. priority in the next released. I mean, comon .. phones have been able to do this for 10 years now!

i did not find it either. i m using rogers too
but you can download Close Everything at Market for free.
i think those apps are similar. the only difference is you have to close EVERYTHING instead of choosing an app to end it.
anyway, the system is not getting slower even i open lots apps.
maybe, the "freeze" thing is true
yesterday I had my phone fully charged before i got to sleep, in the morning 8 hours later the battery was almost empty. GPS and WIFI was disabeld, so I think all the programs in the "background" ( a lot ) killed the battery.
Or what do you think killed the batt?

if you disable background data usage in data sync that will save batt life and lower data usage too.

i do not know how that app works ~oops~
maybe it does not work at all hahaha
not all programs stop running. some are designed to run in the background
the only real way to check what is running is to use a task manager
I paid $0.99 for advanced task manager. Its a good, but basic app. And hardly breaks the bank at that price!
The other issue I get is "go slows" sometimes on the phone. It doesn't seem to crash, just response times go into the seconds. I switch off and on to soft reset and its fine.

Why should I disable data usage? If i have an app that use data, then I only need to close the app. Please correct me if I´m wrong.
I have Home++ I use the kill all feature on the rocket dock. it then says your free memory is 160mb. which am happy with, and then 5 - 10 minutes later, with my phone just being idle, i click on to see what apps are running and. i have about 15 apps running. from doing nothing.
Not sure why my apps run automatically, also when i turn on my phone, every single app turns on. WTF!!!
It's meant to. That is how android and linux works.

thats simply not the way it works, let them run, if the o/s sees there is another program that wants some ram it will clear some by killing lesser priority apps.
I stopped using task killers about 3 weeks ago. My phone runs much quicker now I've stopped killing everything... Let the tech do it's own thing and it works surprisingly well....

have you even tried to use the phone without a task manager? the apps in the background are in a frozen state, which means they are simply cached in the ram so when you restart them they open instantly AND retain the old state. there is absolutely no reason to kill an program unless the program bugged out.
mine runs ok i have this kind of apps called FSFILE EXPLORER in this apps wen i hit the menu you can see task manager then all previous apps that i open it highlighted into green color hit kill selected witch is highlighted then memory increase.... nothing is running on the idle.
unused ram is wasted ram
Ok guys will uninstall my task killer and see how i get on thanks
The advice of not killing aps doesn't really wash when you have apps that cause battery drain. I find that killing apps increases battery life.

ΝΟ. (ten characters)
So when the X10 first got released, everyone was blaming Moxier for being a battery pig regardless if you were using it or not. Are we now saying that isn't true?
That's correct - Moxier doesn't use any juice (not noticeable anyway).. I ran a test with wifi off and data/ mms off over night.. so it was just basically a dumb phone with loads of fancy apps.. it used 2% in about 8 hours...
No start up auditor, no task manager... I am running Helix Launcher.
It's natural to not want apps running in the background. What's the first thing you want to do to optimise your PC? Remove unused startup processes and background tasks. It's more important for a phone which has more limited resources than a PC.
I don't use Moxier Mail, Timescape or PlayNow. But for some reason they all open themselves up in the background every so often.
Iceman, I feel pretty lame for trying to manage the apps so much. Going to try a the same test tonight to see what happens.

Hi,
I really don't understand how the doze system works on android marshmallow. I mean, it kills apps that I need, and leaves on apps that I need killed. I have done all the battery optimization exceptions from settings->apps, I have excluded and included in the keep alive after screen lock option in battery manager, nothing is working how it should be.
I want apps like Tasker and Automate It to work when i close the screen, but even if I exclude them from all things that could kill them, they work for only about 2 minutes and then bye bye.
Is there a setting I missed, or maybe an app that keeps them alive, or maybe some root underground terminal emulator magic I can do to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.

It's not Doze that sucks so much, it's EMUI's power management. It's overly aggressive in killing apps.

You're probably right, even though they fixed this in EMUI 5.0, but I don't like Nougat because it has an annoying bug, so maybe there's a fix to this for MM. I'll try to write to them too.

At random times, my screen won't turn on when I unlock it. I can hear the unlock sound, receive phone calls and probably use all other phone functions, but my screen stays black. I have to force-restart the phone in order for the screen to work again. It probably is a problem with my phone, but I'm too lazy to send it to warranty.
I noticed some lag on my S8 and I realized that it might be lookout that's causing the lag, as I had it on a prior phone and it caused some lag on that phone.
Go to settings > apps > and find lookout and just press the disable button. For me, at least, I noticed a slight improvement in performance.
disclaimer: yes, I'm sure there are benefits to having Lookout scan and ensure all your apps are safe, but I get all my apps from the play store, and stick with ones I know. Do this at your own risk/responsibility.
Some other things I did that seemed to have helped:
1. I stopped opening the official facebook app. I use a FB wrapper app called 'simple pro' for facebook. Way lighter, less resource intensive.
2. I had installed Greenify to try to help hibernate apps, but I uninstalled it. I think the way it was trying to hibernate apps was causing some lag. Just my observation/assumption. But after I uninstalled, my phone is running way smoother.
That was the only reason why I paid for the disabling app was to get rid of lookout!

You don't need to buy anything - you can just do it in the stock settings.

So does this fix some lag time too or what improvement did you see offhand?

Yes, for me, it reduced the lag/stutter I was seeing here and there.
As a side, I was actually also using Greenify app to try to save battery life, but I noticed that after I UNINSTALLED it, my s8 is also running smoother.
I'll update the original post w/ things I was doing to improve performance - now it's way smoother.
