NEW: Restrict the ability of selected app to run as foreground, to transform it to background-free. For non-root device, it requires Island with God mode activated. (Android 9+)
Wake-up tracker and cut-off now works for apps in Island and compatible with Android 10.
App analyzer is improved with foreground service detection and other minor tweaks.
Fixed "Hibernate and Sleep" shortcut when only apps in Island are pending.
Due to policy enforced by Google Play, persistent notification "Greenify is running" is now shown on Android 8.x. If you don't want it, please disable its notification category (by long pressing that notification to enter settings)
App Analyzer now partially supports apps in Island.
Due to policy enforced by Play Store, "Don't Remove Notification" no longer works on Android 8+. Instead, Greenify provides a Nevolution plug-in for the same purpose.
Fixed non-root hibernation for apps in Island.
Apps in Island now also support normal and shallow hibernation mode and can be launched directly from Greenify (Normal hibernation in non-root mode and launching deep-hibernated app require an upcoming new version of Island)
New global setting "Always ignore background-free".
New "App settings (external)" action could also launch 3rd-party tools supporting app-level settings (ACTION_SHOW_APP_INFO).
Improved compatibility with Android P DP.
Fixed hibernation in privileged and Xposed mode.
NEW: Set hibernation mode on a per-app basis - normal, shallow (root required) or deep hibernation (by Island).The legacy deep hibernation (Xposed) is removed due to reported apps incompatibility.Apps targeting 8.0 are correctly recognized as "background-free" on Android 8+ now.Support the official Xposed for Android 7.x.Enhanced wake-up cut-off no longer gets disabled by itself.Improved the compatibility of wake-up tracking.Fixed a bug causing some wake-ups not being cut-off.

Greenify is now fully compatible with Android 8.0 Oreo.Prescription is now supported in privileged mode, which can be activated with Magisk + AppSystemizer.New bottom panel with per-app actions, settings and extra information.Accessibility service will only run on-demand if required permission is granted with ADB.Improved auto-hibernation in non-root mode and privileged mode.Improved the reliability of wake-up cut-off.Improved the accuracy of background-free detection.
NEW: Background-free apps will not be hibernated automatically by default, for better task-switching experience, since they occupies no memory (just cached in memory at times) and could hardly impact the battery consumption and device performance.Automatic hibernation in non-root mode can now be interrupted with power button more consistently.FIX: The menu entry "Reattach broad cut-off".

"Aggressive Doze" and "Doze on the Go" to maximize the battery saving on Android 6+, even without root! (details explained in settings)
Never should your phone or tablet become slower and battery hungrier after lots of apps installed. With Greenify, your device can run almost as smoothly and lastingly as it did the first day you had it!
Greenify help you identify and put the misbehaving apps into hibernation when you are not actively using them, to stop them from lagging your device or leeching the battery, in a unique way! They can do nothing without explicit launch by you or other apps, while still preserving full functionality when running in foreground.
Please report bugs in the XDA forum (http://goo.gl/ZuLDnE) or G+ community (http://goo.gl/MoszF).
Greenify NEVER EVER collects your personal data despite the capability of accessibility service, it just takes advantage of it to automate the hibernation procedure.
IMPORTANT: Greenifying an app implies that you are aware that all the background functionality (service, periodic task, event receiver, alarm, widget update, push message) of this app will become out of service during the hibernation except when you are using this app.
NEVER greenify alarm clock apps, instant messaging apps unless you don't rely on them. Please do verify the impact of greenified apps on which you heavily rely.
Note: Greenify does need background running services for auto-hibernation to work. It is designed and implemented in extremely lightweight and nearly zero CPU and battery consumption.
