Does this phone need apps like Greenify, LeenDroid, and Naptime ? - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

I just got my Pixel 2 XL yesterday from Google. I am asking to get the best battery life possible, do I need to run apps like Leendroid, Naptime, and Greenify ? Or with 8.1 are those apps not really needed today ???

Not needed AFAIC. Best battery life I've had on a phone yet. That includes GS4, N6, Pxl which were the last 3 before this.

If you are rooted with magisk you can install doze enabler for play services, you can check my thread for list of magisk modules
That helps a lot as play services eat battery
This will surely increase your stand by time
Cheers ?

I had my phone day before yesterday, yesterday I used it a lot, 6hrs 30min screen on time 25% battery life left, no effort to conserve battery and ime battery life gets better after a few days I would say you don't need to do anything.

Thx for the tip. I'll check out that mod today.

If we do use greenfiy on this phone(as I am), can we greenify play services? Play services is an app that can't be Greenified I think. If we convert it to a user app in titanium backup can we then greenify it?

[APP] Greenify - Save Battery Life

I discovered this gem of an app a couple months ago thanks to an article on Lifehacker. Lifehacker's app recommendations can be hit or miss, so I took this with a grain of salt. But after trying it for a couple months, I couldn't be happier with the results and it's become one of my absolute favorite apps. I've noticed a few of you mentioning it in various forums as well, so apparently word has gotten around! But to those of you who have yet to try Greenify, I would highly recommend it. Basically it "auto-hibernates apps". So, for instance, if you have the Facebook app, but don't necessarily care to have it running in the background eating valuable battery life, Greenify will hibernate that app for you. It's very simple to set up and it has definitely extended my battery life after adding around 7-8 apps to my hibernate list. I'm attaching the Lifehacker article and Google Play links below.

Didn't notice that. Depending on if you use maps or not you could always freeze it in Titanium Backup.

Or you could use TiBu to make it a system app then use Greenify.

basically, go into "manage apps" -> "running apps" and determine which apps are running that you really do NOT NEED to be running all the time. for me, it was facebook, scramble with friends, beat the streak, play music, and a few others. I then open the greenify app, and selected just those apps. then, greenify will hibernate them so that they are not running in the background. only downside is that I do not get notifications for those apps (which is fine by me). however, I can still access them just fine and they launch very quickly/smoothly as if they were not hibernating.
How did you Greenify Play Music? I don't see it on the list. Is that considered a system app?

Not really. Just open the app, hit the home button, then go into greenify and hibernate it.

Sorry, I had searched Greenify and got to this Razer forum, I have a Nexus 7. "Home" sends me to my home page on it. I used app/mover to change Play Music to a user app (but now Music is gone and won't install from Play Store...) Don't use it much anyway, but be nice to figure out Greenifying system apps.

Wow this app is great by far the best battery saving app I ever tried, I couldnt believe how many times apps were waking my phone and the funny thing is, they Dont even have notifications... So they were just waking the phone because they felt like it! but now I can still use the app and they Dont do anything in the background now! :thumbup:

I'm interested as to what apps you have done this to? I have the Pro and would love to know which apps you have successfully converted, thanks ahead.
Can anybody help me out by explaining (or linking to me an article that explains) how Greenify actually works its magic? Does it just run a service in the background that is constantly monitors active processes that have been "Greenified" and forces these processes to go into "Hibernate" mode when the screen is off, and prevents any partial wakes?
Thanks guys.
Before greenify I would unplug my phone at 930 pm and wake up at 5 am and the battery would be at 78%, with greenify doing the same method I only drop to 88%!

play services eating battery

Had my note 10.1 2014 for about 2 weeks. charged like 4 times so battery cycle is not the issue. im at 19% right now and its indicating that play services used up 48% so that means that 34% (71%*48%) was used up by play services. i have sync turned off and most google services turned off (play music,books,videos etc). i am wondering what this drain in battery may be caused by. betterbatterystats shows no apps or google services taking up battery. anyone else experience this issue?

definitely, across all my android devices (p605 and nexus 5).
the first thing i do after flashing is converting google play services to user app (either using TIB or uninstalling/reinstalling) and then greenify it. i found that using greenify to hibernate google play services as a system app won't go the full way.
im happy with that workaround, although i find google should fix this. its the same on all devices across all android versions for a couple weeks already. some are affected, some aren't.

It will only affect automatic updates. You have to open play store to trigger automatic updates, other than that no side effects.

you don't freeze it, use greenify to force hibernation. that way it can be put to sleep when you're not using the device.

Thanks for the input everyone..and although greenify seems to be a viable option, I'm trying to hold off rooting.. Never know when warranties can come in handy..not trying to pay for replacing parts etc..and battery life seems like the only reason to root so may just have to live with it until a hopeful update rolls out.

you gotta either use titanium to make it a user app (move from system) or use the donation version of greenify and install xposed framework.

I think it is but I don't know the difference if you install other than #38 for SGW.
To check:
Manage apps> all or downloaded> look and tap Google Play Services 5.0.88 (1297476-038) (38 is the one ur using)

If I not make a mistake, the diffence between #38 and #34 or anyone else is in the density. The number indicates for which DPI density the application was made.
Now I'm using #34 without problems.

This is excellent free app for debloating. It tells you what can be safely removed and what should be left alone and allows for batch uninstall.

Well played
Big one for me is getting up and running quick with Titanium Backup restores. Bought before root was out this time but normally.
Disabling stuff too.
Adblock plus, Lucky patcher
Also upgrade Google Maps back to 6.14.4 is a huge one on my phone. Not so much on the tablet but I may use it in the car more. Will need My Maps for travel.
Custom ROM's when they are out.

How will you use google map/navigator on the tablet? Is your table with 4G? As far as I know google map requires network access.
I am using CoPilot for navigating in the car. It uses downloaded maps.
With my phone I have been using google navigation but I did not like it too much. It is too insistent with its idea of where to go. It will only
recalculate the route after many miles passed its suggested direction. I had this issue in highway, it may be different in city navigation.
I rooted my S 8.4 wifi (T700) and cleaned bloatware.. now I would like to install twrp or cwm.. to make a backup and play deeper with the toy..
Has anyone done it already? Any different from other androids?
Thx.
@Peter234: Probably tethering. I have zero problems using my Note 3 as a hotspot. I also think that Google Maps will let you 'cache' a route as well; IIRC it's one of the Labs features.

Debloating doubles your battery life, and the device will always respond much faster because those running system apps eat up a lot of RAM and CPU power. After I did a massive debloat, the lag and stuttering pretty much went away.
You can also install root apps, which can speed up your RAM, prolong battery life, and improve performance. My favorites are Greenify, SD Booster, and Autokiller.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Got-ROOT-Here-are-the-root-Android-apps-you-must-try_id46065
De bloating does not double your battery life not even nearly double. Also 80% free RAM is no quicker than 20% free RAM. Sure, improvements can be had but let's keep things in the realm of reality here.

Hey ol friend I'm not sure about an "app ops" type of app. However, you may want to look into "My Android Tools" from the PS. It allows you to shut down background running services on virtually any app you have, including system apps, while still allowing you to use the app when you need it. Not sure if that's what your wanting to do, but I thought I'd throw it out there for you ??

I know you have my friend, but honestly, there would be too many screen shots to post! It monitors every app, both user and system, and then allows you to shut down what you want. Best advice I can give is to just try it out. Here's a little tip, I monitor what's running in developer options/running services, if I see something always running when I'm not using it, I shut that particular service off :good:

Here's a little tip, I monitor what's running in developer options/running services, if I see something always running when I'm not using it, I shut that particular service off :good:

Do you disable those that are in cached processes section as well?
Also do you block any play services one?

I leave the cache processes alone. And no on anyway for GPS. I let the magisk module do that one. Which you can clearly see when you open My Android Tools and go to system apps :good:

The easiest way to control Play Services is Sysconfig Patcher (Magisk module). It patches Play Services and other system files to go into doze standby, no Xposed needed :good:

I used Enable doze for GMS module before Sysconfig patcher. Enable doze for GMS module is great for what it does, but it is a one-trick pony. Sysconfig patcher modifies additional files to allow doze for those as well, which saves more battery.

The doze for GPS and sysconfig patcher :good:
If OP still considers a good App Ops, I'm using this one which is good enough for me: App Ops - Permission manager.
It also has a Magisk Module to make it as a system-privileged app.

Why do you use both modules since both says in description to remove any conflicting modules?
Pixel 2 wifi tweaks module does exactly what?
Cheers ?
