Add support for non-rooted devices: Android Battery Saver Greenify

Having root access on Android allows a huge number of tweaks and changes to be made—you can even go so far as to graft new system frameworks into your operating system. Beyond the customization aspect, having root on Android also lets you manage your device in a more advanced way. Greenify is on the most popular among the Android Battery Saver apps. The developers of “Greenify” decided to widen its users, whether they are Rooted Android users or Un-Rooted. Freenify, which was firstly initiated for Rooted devices is now Supporting un-rooted devices as well. The recent update released on January 12, 2014. If you aren’t familiar with “Greenify” then have a quick review f it.

If you’re a rooted user who has never heard of Greenify, consider this your introduction to something awesome. Greenify is an app that uses root access to put other apps into hibernation—it’s a little bit like a task killer, but it actually works with Android instead of against it. Traditional task killing is disruptive to system stability and can cause increased HP 2230 Battery drain. Greenify uses system tools to prevent the apps you have chosen from acting up in the background without all those side effects.

There are many apps that run into the background and soak enormous juice, whereas this app allows you to save your Android smartphone’s battery without closing apps. Greenify’s new non-root mode is still pretty barebones, but it’s better than nothing. In the app, you can identify which apps you want Greenify to hibernate, just like rooted users can. The important difference is that whereas Greenify with root automatically hibernates these apps, you have to use the app menu or the Hibernate All widget in non-rooted mode.

Greenify is of great use when you have an app that likes to stick in the background and access data or your location, but you simply can’t justify disabling or completely removing it. Depending on your device, that might be Facebook, your bank’s mobile app, or various other social apps. Greenify lets you open and use them normally, but keep them from misbehaving in the background. All the basic functionality in Greenify is free, but you can buy a pro key for a few advanced root features.
