Hi,
I would like your opinion on this.
If you had the option to Greenify or to freeze your system applications, what would you do/choose?

Please comment on what you think would be better for System Applications/User Applications that you do not or seldom use.

System apps, FREEZE.
User Apps, Greenify of course, why would you install an app and freeze it?

I should rephrase what I said.
Is it better to freeze or greenify system applications, instead.
And I do freeze my installed applications like Airdroid, Skype and Viber. They do run even when you Greenify them.

Airdroid is no problem to Greenify, but Skype and Viber (yahoo, whatsapp etc..)won't receive any messages or phone calls since Greenify only unfreeze them when you ask for them by tapping their icons.
System apps can't be greenify. Greenify doesn't see system apps.
Why would I greenify an app which I don't use or I am going to use it very rare? The best way is to freeze it or simply uninstall it. Greenify runs in the forground process so the app would itself drain the battery.

An app like Tapatalk always run in the background. I don't want to unfreeze it each time i'm using it but I don't want it to run when I don't use it. Greenify is perfect for this. Most apps always check for updates or do some background work. Greenify helps a lot the battery cuz instead of having 10 apps running in the background you only have the one, Greenify.

I have the donate version of Greenify so I do have the option to hibernate them.
Yes, I underdtand the consequences when Greenify-ing messaging applications but I still find them useful when I open them and use them as normal.

At 2-3 megabytes of RAM, I don't see any drain for Greenify. There are many instances that I would like to use an application and Greenify would be more convenient than a freeze.
Greenify both system apps and installed apps...

Is there a list of Favorite Mods and Apps for Rooted Note 2?
I just swapped from CleanRom (old phone) to Jedi-X-ROM (new Note-2 b/c broken antenna) ... it seemed to be highly rated.
These are my favorites so far:
What are some other popular apps?
LuxDash for display light control
MX Player for video
AlarmClockExtreme
Data ON/OFF widget (I was surprised that Jedi-X did not provide a data switch)
CleanMaster

look em up man! if you dont know then you probably should. super helpful apps.
Ad-away - ad blocker
Greenify - hibernates apps so they dont run all the time basically the apps you hibernate thru Greenify only run when you tap on them to run. Example maps. Helps with wakelocks.
Root Explorer - my personal favorite file manager.
TiBU = Titanium Backup. backs up all your apps. Think it requires root.
Those are the ones I use and I install everytime I flash a new ROM.
I'll add in the rest:
Quickboot - Not really necessary anymore but I use it to go to recovery or reboot without using the power button. I use the Free version.
GMD SPen - Gives gesture control and is similar to what the stock ROM offers. Only needed on AOSP ROMs. Paid app.
Note Buddy - Gives you some more spen functions. Only used on AOSP ROMs. Free.
Seeder - This reduces lag on my phone. YMMV. Free if you use the XDA link. Paid in the Play store.
Wakelock Detector - Tells you what is waking up your phone. Free.
Very nice,
Thanks for the information, and for expounding on it.

You really shouldn't be using GravityBox; you're right - it should only be used with AOSP.
G3 Tweakbox does most of the same things, and works great
"network speed indicator", "notification mod" (can see stuff although still need to knock code to actually open stuff) , "app settings " (set individual app settings like DPI and permissions, "greenify" (for paid version extra features) , "performance profile" (just for screen off profile, could that be why I don't get deep sleep issues? ), "viewinplay" (easier ways to access to app play store page), "blacklist" (to silently autoblock repeat txt and calls from spam/sales numbers known to me)
Sent from my LG-D855 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I'm using "Play Store Fixes" module so that the Play store doesn't filter out apps that don't officially support the G3's high resolution (like the official Amazon app)
**English is not my first language and i haven't used it for a long time, knowing that you should consider to forgive me any mispelling and bad language.
I've had a extreamly ugly case of this phenamenon for the last 7-0 days. And tried almost every method that people here and on XDA have been posting about the subject, with absolute zero luck.
But, yesterday i decided to mix together methods that i had seen from other people, there were few that i tought was more logical than other so why not give it a try. And it worked
Please notice that this is not my work, this is completely other peoples knowledge that i simply put together.
I have LG G3 D855, but theoretically it should work on any kind.
you're device have to have root access and Xposed framework.
open App ops (you can find many apps on play to access it) scroll down to Google Play Services and disable the permissons "Wake" and "keep awake" Then repeat this on Android System and Google Search, you´ll find them on same list as play services.
Install 3C Toolbox (aka Android Tuner) and activate it in Xposed.
on the list on the left in 3C Toolbox, scroll down to Apps manager and select apps startup and events, there you find the same apps as before and when you click each one you´ll get a dropdown with endless processes, find and uncheck "WAKEUP"
On the list on the left navigate to app permissions and click "prevent phone from sleeping. Find those apps there and turn the switch to "block"
Now restart your device.
This should do the trick, or at least it worked for me. I went from 80% wake to sweet deep sleep most of the time that im not using the phone.
I Should add that i also installed Greenify and added those and few more apps to it.
I hope this will help at least someone

I see in your sign you're using AndroidNow: did you apply those tricks on that ROM or on the stock one?
What app did you install for enabling App Ops access?
There are many on the GP and some apparently have some kind of problems (uninstalling, crashing, etc.).

Yes i am using AndroidNow, but first time i applied these settings i was on rooted stock rom , it works on both of them.
I noticed this morning that this seems to disable the location settings of Android Device Manager. so there are some functions that this will cost, but in my opinion i had so much batt draining, that device manager is pretty much useless if the battery is off. So untill google wipes their asses and update play services this is the best i can do.
I have used these two apps to access app ops, both have been successfull:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.findsdk.apppermission
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.schurich.android.tools.appopsstarter
the app ops starter has the opinion too check if your rom has app ops by default fefore trying to add it to the device. And i´ve found out that in LG G3 D855 international the app ops settings actually are availeble in android 4.4.2 so i haven't had to flash the settings yet. i just used the app to add a feature to access the setting.
I hope this was helpfull and answers your questions, and sorry how i´ve not been able to reply earlier, we're on different timezones and i usually just visit this site at nights, sometimes everyday, and sometimes everyother day.

I don't know but I would like to see a module that can bring my navigation bar back. The placement of the hardware keys are too low to be ergonomic, for me at least.
GravityBox MM is all you need

Hi guy ,is your GravityBox working fine? there're lots of apps crash after the second reboot on my phone.
I'm using xKindleMod. It's a must have if you use the Kindle app. Also using YouTube Ad Away.
And I only had a couple of status bar mods work for me with GravityBox. I didn't try too many, but even centering the clock made the battery % disappear. I ended up uninstalling it since it wasn't very compatible.

I've found a couple of guides online that suggest alarms and wakelocks to limit. I've used to lists from those guides, but have found roughly only half of the suggested alarms and wakelocks in the HTC 10 specifically. Are you aware of any HTC 10 specific wakelocks and alarms I should limit? How do you have yours set up?
All you need brother is ,gravitybox mm. Boot manager And greenify. And if you really want to take it over the edge just delete all the junk crap that HTC put on your phone lol and also Flash Elite kernel lol ??

I must tell that with Magisk and systemless xposed, I had all the modules I tried successfully working without any problems. But beware of enabling modules that are made for other phones (for example Sony Xperia modules...) Just do this: Before enabling module read the description for compatibility with different phones and systems... I have a lot of modules running not officially compatible but they work anyway - Example: GravityBox MM is working perfectly except for the above written issue. If some module cause bootloop or freezes, just go in the TWRP, decrypt data and then navigate to Advanced->File Explorer (or manager, I am not sure) When file manager in TWRP is opened, navigate to /data/app/[name of problematic module] and delete the whole folder... Then your phone will work again.
I have working those:
ActivityForceNewTask
Android N-ify
App Settings 1.13
ChromePie
Google Photos Bottom Bar Remover
GravityBox MM
Heads Off
Hide Mock Location
MinMinGuard
MoonPhase
NoShareServices
PoGoIV
Pokemon Go IV Checker
Pokemon Go Joystick
Prevent Running
Route selector
Snapprefs
Tumblr AdAway
Xposed Additions
Youtube AdAway
Youtube Background Playback
Also do not forget AdAway, but it is not module but a must have app

Please people, before you are doing something and preventing things that you "think" are causing drain, just try to do what I will write now... I have done this same things since HTC Desire and its still the most efective thing that I could have done, I dont need to install any other app like Amplify or Greenify to disable things. Everytime, first setup your phone and install all apps you want. Yes, this includes Facebook app and other battery draining apps, just install everything you will use, even if it is just an app you will use once a month. It is important all apps are logged in and synced like you want them. If you use auto-sync, enable it for apps you want and everything... Then go into Settings->Apps and open every app and change permissions FOR EVERY APP you installed what to allow and what not. For example I only allow Storage and Contacts access permission for Whatsapp and Viber. If you also take a lot of pictures with camera when in Viber or Whatsapp, you should allow Camera permission too... Just know what you will use app for and then make permissions like that. I revoker all permissions for Facebook and Messenger, and I only enable Storage permission when I upload a photo and disable it after that. Okay, after you fixed all the permissions like you want you use phone until you go to sleep. Before you go to sleep FULLY CHARGE your phone to 100%. You have to leave Wi-Fi ON, auto-sync enabled and everything just like you want the settings to be when you use your phone through the day. After it is 100%, create an alarm clock to wake you up in the morning. Disconnect the charger after that. After you wake up in the morning, look at the battery percentage. I loose about 4-5% through the night, this is about 0,5% per hour. You have to remember that I loose ONLY 0,5% per hour AND I have WiFi PLUS auto-sync enabled I receive all email, viber, everything After you see the battery percentege go into Settings->Power->Battery Usage and take a look what is draining battery (If you have more than 1% per hour, here you should see what is the problem. Also take a look in Settings->Power->History, here you should see if you had any wakelocks.
Look at attached picture, first one is what is OK and second one is NOT OK.
If you have any wakelocks or if you want to manage running apps in background go into Xposed application and download and enable Prevent Running xposed module. Reboot the phone. After that, open Prevent Running and go into Advanced Settings. Enable options "Lock Sync", "Auto Prevent"(enable this only if you want every new installed app to be automatically prevented running in background), Allow Unknown Sender, Force stop important system apps.
Go out of the Prevent Running settings and and click and select "Auto Prevent" for every app you dont want to run in the background. I enabled Auto Prevent for all apps I dont use often and also for apps I use often but I dont want them running in background (Like Here WeGo navigation, Drippler, Google Goggles, Hostelworld, Pinterest, Pokemon GO, Root Explorer, Shazam, SoundHound, Translate, Tumblr, Twitter, Wake On Lan, Docs, Drive, Facebook, Photos, Youtube, Maps,...) BEWARE that all apps you Auto Prevent will not run in background if you exit from them with back button or if you remove them from recents. They can still run in background if you press home button, then they are running until you remove them from recents
This is how I achieved performance like it is on first screenshot attached here.
I hope this helps someone
