Do note though that your Android device does have to be rooted. The process is very similar to how iOS apps work. Greenify *ROOT* hibernates these apps when they’re not in the foreground, and they will only run when you, or another app, launch them. Now you can’t freeze or delete some of these apps because you do use them, you just don’t want them running all the time and you want to easily run them when applicable. Often this will result in a laggy and slow system. They may be polling for certain conditions like updates or notifications, or just waiting in the background for you to use them. Many of these apps use up valuable resources and battery even when they’re not active. Let’s face it, even on my very basic setup I’ve got around 190 different apps and services running on my phone. In my search to find just that little bit more battery life, out of my Galaxy S3 phone especially, I came across Greenify *ROOT*. To achieve this, I run a very lean ROM, deleting any unnecessary services and apps and underclock my processor. My biggest concern is having enough battery power to get me through the day.
I don’t use many social networking apps, and for those that I do use, I’m not worried about constantly getting notifications of updates or messages. Though I use my devices for all sorts of things, though I love to play with alternate ROMs and want my devices to be fast and responsive, in the end I’m a pretty basic user. I’m going to make a strange admission here for a gadgeteer: I’m not really a power user on my phone or my tablet.
