In the following article I am going to present you a very useful tool both for teams Android older as well as for the latest device models on the market, the tool in question will help us so that the applications installed on these terminals consume less system resources and save on battery.

Greenify has been developed by a group of developers from xdadevelopers and is available in a way totally free in the Play Store, although we also have an option «Donate» to contribute to its development and to thank and support the authors of the application.

What does Greenify do?

Optimizing RAM and battery consumption with Greenify

Unlike other applications type Task Killer that kill selected applications automatically and totally recursively and without regard, which in the long run makes our terminal have a higher battery consumption! Greenify puts these apps into a sleep mode or hibernation to be available quickly the next time we call them for use.

This mode of hibernation it does not kill the application, it only puts it in sleep mode which allows us to have quick access to it without wasting RAM On its return to normality, once we stop using the application marked for hibernation, it will go back to that mode to freeze its processes and continue saving so much in battery consumption as in system resources and RAM.

What do we need to use Greenify?

To use this sensational application we will only need a terminal previously rooted and with Supersu o Super user updated.

The application can be downloaded directly from the Play Store or from the thread on xdadevelopers forum; at Play Store we will find the latest considerable version as stable and in the forum xdadevelopers we can download the latest version in tests or considered as Beta.

Once downloaded and installed, we will only have to open it and grant it superuser permissions so that the application can do the job for which it was created.

Its use is very simple and intuitive since as soon as you open the application and click on the more button, a list will be shown where the applications that work in are summarized. background and its processes.

  • Running in the background
  • scheduled running
  • It could slow down the device when ...

Helpful tips when using Greenify

It is not recommended to put applications like Line, Google+, whatsapp or any instant messaging application in hibernation mode since if we do it we will lose your notifications and we will not know about new incoming messages.

For the rest, I have been using the application for a few days and the truth is that the battery consumption has improved me by approximately one 20 or 25%, in addition to the fact that the consumption of the RAM memory has improved considerably.
