Is Greenify actually good for your phone? all it does is force

>>56210448
It's not good, unless you bloated your phone. But it doesn't "degrade" your phone.

>>56210459
how is it not good though

>>56210448
The iPhone 5s doesn't have this problem.

if an app is shitty enough to need janitoring, it's not going to obey a janitoring app

>shitapp.apk opens
>greenify closes shitapp.apk
>shitapp.apk says wtf i wus supposed to b open
>shitapp.apk restarts
>greenify closes shitapp.apk
etc

>shitapp uses copy-pasted poo code to look for network signal
>phone wakes up
>connected to wifi, no internet connection though (let's pretend)
>phone stays active because shitapp doesn't know what the fuck to do next because it doesn't use the system apis because lol poo code
>phone overheats and burns user's house down

solution: stop installing warez'd apps from indian warez emporiums. the reason greenify exists is because people are stupid, 'app developers' moreso

hey guys i know how my phone works because i learned how to uninstall services in my warez'd windows xp installation. i know computer and i am going to squeeze every inch out of the 256mb ram in this $10 walmart android phone. grandma says im smarter than bill gates!!!!

wtf I love Apple now

real talk: greenify, and every single other 'battery saver' app, is a placebo at best and actively counter-productive otherwise

your mobile device, assuming it is 'recent' (i.e. purchased within let's say the last eighteen months to two years) is going to be smart enough to handle its own ram, and its own background app magic. as long as you install from 'official' app stores and practice basic security hygiene, you're not going to get malware and you will have a lovely productive relationship with your device. leave it alone. let it do its thing. don't fiddle with it. don't need no third-party app hamfistedly butting in and saying HAY LET ME HANDLE THIS and just getting in the way so it can serve you ads.

This. You could always manually freeze or hibernate apps. Any battery "saver" which runs in background is likely to kill your battery faster.

>>56211268
This would be true if my service provider didn't do EXACTLY THAT, fiddle with stock Android, hamfistedly butt in third-party apps, and getting in the way so it can serve me ads.

>>56211424
i think your best option would be to reconsider your relationship with your service provider desu

>>56211123
That's not how it works, retard. Greenify force-closes the app. Unless it's a system app (preinstalled), it can't restart itself.

>>56210448
as long you aren't a retard that uses apps that run in the background
you don't need greenify
any decent phone lets you disable stock apps

I thought Greenify did something else besides force stop on rooted phones

>>56213200
It does. Basically in 6.0+ it dozes them like how doze usually does it. So in reality it isn't force stopping it, they are dozing them.
