No more envy of your friends' iPhone which never become slow and battery hungry after lots of apps installed. With Greenify, your Android device can also run almost as smooth and lasting as the first day you have it!

Greenify help you identify and put the bad behaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, stop them from battery leeching, memory hogging and stealthy running, in an elegant and unique way! They could do nothing without your explicit launch, while still have full functionality when running in foreground. Like what iOS apps act!

The built-in App Analyzer will analyze and show apps in your device that keep running persistent services and those launch itself automatically on a regular basis (when network connectivity changes, or every time you unlock your device, install / uninstall / update your apps, etc).

ROOT is required. If you are experiencing hibernation issue, this may be caused by your root management app (e.g. "SuperUser"), please try installing "SuperSU" instead.

here is the link

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify ( you can download it from attachments too !! )

There is also a donate version which lets you put system apps for hibernating as well!

Here's the link for that..

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify.pro

Give it a try people and don't forget to thank the owner and me if I have helped.. :)

OP I have removed the apk because the developer only wants it to be downloaded from the playstore (yours was the old version anyway). Here's the link Please don't do that again. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155737

Cool app! Missed this one until now. I'm wondering if there any advantages/disadvantages to "Greenifying" apps compared with "Freezing" apps with Titanium Backup. It seems that Titanium's freezing requires more work on the user's part. Their widget that freezes/unfreezes and launches and app is very similar. The difference is that I have to manually REFREEZE the app when done. Is this correct? If so, this is a wonderful app. Still testing...just installed. THANK YOU!

You are correct! I used to use titanium b/u pro.. But like u say, it requires much user attention and input. I much prefer greenify, and I seem to get better battery life with it too (likely because of the automation, thus less screen-on time = better batt life). Not sure if it gives better performance, cause I don't push my phone very much, and it was already fast as hell with tbp.. I'm running soa b4 right now, previously jmt6 worked great with both. Hope this helps:D

Update: just from modifying my greenify list a bit and switching to interactive governor, am now getting 5-6 hrs screen on time.

I don't know if I'm seeing much difference with this app. I have been using it for some time already, but most of my battery hogging apps (according to the greenify app) are messaging apps, tapatalk, etc that needs to notify me when it needs to. If I greenify these, I won't get any notification from them, right? Is this correct?

If so, then i'm not sure if will see much difference in battery life anyway..
