This is the first beta version of Greenify 2.7. This major version is aimed to improve the over-all user experience in every aspect (if possible).

Beta 8
Fixed the detection for background active app on Android 5.1.1_r9 and 6.0, with new implementation.
Fixed crash on Android 4.0.x.
Simplified the confusing state reason of postponed hibernation.

Beta 7
Fixed crash during auto-hibernation in non-root mode.

Beta 6
Due to a permission change in the newest revision of Android 5.1.1 and 6.0, Greenify has to use the usage stats permission to detect the foreground app and avoid hibernating it. Unfortunately, this new implementation could no longer detect the active background apps (such as music player).
Improved compatibility with Android 6.0.
FIX: Xposed feature settings lost issue on arm64.

Beta 5
Foreground app no longer hibernates even if "state always ignored" is checked.
Reduced the impacts of wake-up cut-off.
FIX: Native processes cleaning.
FIX: Wake-up action in Tasker plug-in on Android 5.x.
FIX: No longer list disabled apps.

Beta 4
Fixed the reboot issue in root mode if core system app is greenfied.

Beta 3
Greenify now cleans up native processes after hibernation, to prevent self-reviving.
Fixed root mode on Android 4.0 & 4.1.
Fixed non-root mode on Android M.
No longer pause auto-hibernation when charging.

Beta 2
Fixed the manual hibernation not working issue when charging. (introduced in beta 1)

Beta 1
Dim the screen when performing auto-hibernation on non-root device.
Auto-hibernation will pause when external power is connected.
"Hibernate and Lock Screen" shortcut does not require device-admin privilege activated, and is now compatible with Smart Lock on Android Lollipop & M. (root-only)
Experimental support for Android M Developer Preview, with new "Shallow Hibernation" - application context and push notification are all preserved in hibernation.

About Android M support (experimental)
Since Android M is still in early developer preview stage, anything could change before the final version is out. So is the experimental support in Greenify.
Greenify now takes advantage of App Standby feature in Android M and combine it with the efforts of traditional implementation to create a new "Shallow Hibernation" state for greenified apps. In this state, app won't lose the context before being switched to the background and could also receive GCM push message in hibernation.

Known issues
The "... Lock Screen" shortcut with new implementation is reacting slower than before in some lower end device, due to slow root invocation.

@oasisfeng Thanks for the update. Working fine but the problem that the notifications don't get delivered unless the screen is turned on manually remains on LP. Greenify shows as push received "x" minutes ago but no notification sound or anything related when phone screen is off.

I have a slight problem with the newest version: Any app that happens to be awake when I open Greenify just stays awake. At the moment Google App, Google Play Store, ACalendar Plus and Weather don't wanna get closed, they just stay persistently. If I press to hibernate them, I get a toast message that they're hibernated, but they are not... Now I don't know whether it's an error of function or of displaying :confused:

Yup, I have that problem too. The toast says hibernated but they actually don't get hibernated.

I'm sorry, I still can't figure out the cause of that issue yet. It seems like only affect some apps in some situations. This combination is not clear in any form.

Thanks for the reply. For me it's mostly in whatsapp and viber. I have the logs for the GCM push if you need. And it happens everytime. Basically in all situations.
And as for the latest beta update, I have an I9300 running 5.1.1 with boost mode (xposed).

I have collected many logs in the past months. But both Google Play services and these apps are closed source. Logs are not enough to figure out why they can't post notifications even if push message was received.
Several attempts have been made trying to fix the issue, but still no luck yet.

Maybe they are not prepared to receive push message in hibernation state.

Have you connected external power to the device? If so, that's because Greenify will not perform auto-hibernation during charging since this version. The incorrect prompt information is the known issue I've listed in the OP. I'll add more clear prompt for this.

    Yeah I'm not running Xposed on any device - On my Note 2 - Greenify is hibernating widgets - the Note 2 is running SlimLP 5.1.1 - But my Note 4 is running CMRemix 6.01 and hibernating widgets just fails all the time... I've tried using Privacy Guard to restrict the widgets from waking or keeping awake - Still doesn't seem to help ?

    It should have been fixed in beta 5. Sorry for the delay.

    PS, Xposed module is back in beta 5 too.
