v1.95 beta 4

Hide apps in App Analyzer which you don’t want to greenify with the new “Hide” button (in action bar).


Overview:

Never should your phone or tablet become slower and battery hungrier after lots of apps installed. With Greenify, your device can run almost as smoothly and lastingly as it did the first day you had it!


Greenify help you identify and put the misbehaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, to stop them from lagging your device and leeching the battery, in an unique way! They can do nothing without explicit launch by you or other apps, while still preserving full functionality when running in foreground, similar to iOS apps!


ROOT is required.


NOTICE: PLS DO NOT REPORT BUG AS REVIEW, since I could not contact you for further details. Please report bugs on the XDA thread (http://goo.gl/urHEa), or in G+ community (http://goo.gl/MoszF).


IMPORTANT: Greenifying an app implies that you are aware that all the background functionality of this app will become out of service during the hibernation except when you are using this app:


* Persistent background services

* Broadcast receivers, which respond to global device events, such as network state change, SMS reception.

* Alarms, which activate background task at specific time or interval.

* Widget update. Widget should display but may or may not update because periodic update sometimes involves background task.

* Push message. Push is also disabled since it would activate background task on Android, unlike iOS which just shows up messages to user.


Please DO NOT greenify alarm clock apps, instant messaging apps unless you never rely on them. Please verify the impact of greenified apps on which you heavily rely.


Compared to other popular tools aimed for the similar purpose, Greenify offers the following advantages:


◆ Unlike the “Freeze” feature in “TitaniumBackup Pro” that totally disable the app, you can still use your app as usual, share content with it. No need to freeze & defrozen it.


◆ Unlike “App Quarantine”, you can launch greenified apps in any way as usual. No more crafted app-launch widgets, no more manual disabling.


◆ Unlike “Autostarts”, you can benefit from almost all of its advantages, without needing to deal with the complexity and risk of obscure app components, and never lose functionality when app is actively running.


◆ Unlike any “XXX Task Killer”, your device will never fall into the cat-mouse-game of stealthy-running and aggressive killing, which unnecessarily consumes much battery juice.


Note: Greenify do need a background persistent “Cleaner” service to put the greenified apps back into hibernation when you are not actively using them. It is designed and implemented in extremely lightweight, with an average RAM footprint at 3M in total, and nearly zero CPU and battery consumption.


In case you cannot install from Play store: http://oasisfeng.com/Greenify.apk


=== PERMISSIONS ===


INTERNET: Needed by “Raise Your Voice” program to send back only small amount of anonymous statistics data, without privacy information. You can opt-out at any time.

READ SENSITIVE LOG: To analysis the wake up cause of greenified apps.

GET ACCOUNTS & WRITE SYNC SETTINGS: Control the account sync of apps if its sync task is too frequent.


=== FAQ ===


* Why not support Android 2.x?

* It seems that automatic hibernation is not working.

* Some of my greenified apps (e.g. Google Maps) seems not hibernating.

* I want to greenify system apps!

* De-greenified apps still got no push notification!

Scanner Radio Pro 4.0.0.1

Download Scanner Radio Pro 4.0.0.1 APK for your Android Smartphone.

Current Version: 4.0.0.1

Requires Android: Varies with device

Category: Entertainment

v4.0.0.1 update:

4.0.0.1:

Fixed a bug which was causing the audio to stop playing when listening with the app in the background.

Fixed a bug which resulted in the “Favorites” screen not being displayed on start-up in some cases.

Made a change so that the “Include “Exit” in menus” setting is set to true by default for users that are upgrading (and set to false for new users).

4.0:

Major facelift.

3.9.6.6:

Miscellaneous bug fixes.


Overview:

Listen to live audio from over 4,100 police and fire scanners, weather radios, and amateur radio repeaters from around the world (primarily in the United States and Australia, with more being added daily) on your phone.


Features:


* View scanners that are located nearest you, sorted by distance.

* View the top 50 scanners that have the most listeners (list updated every 5 minutes).

* View list of scanners added most recently (new additions are being added all the time).

* Add scanners you listen to the most to your Favorites list for quick access.

* Browse the directory of scanners by location or genre (public safety, air traffic, weather, railroad, etc).

* Enable notifications to be notified when lots of people (such as over 1000, for example) are listening to any scanner (indicating that something big is happening). You can also be notified when scanners located near you (or specific scanners of your choosing) have more than a certain number of listeners.

* Add Scanner Radio Pro widgets and shortcuts to your phone’s home screen for quick access (app cannot be installed on SD card to access them).

* Add a “Scanner Radio Pro Favorite” shortcut to your home screen to launch a scanner feed via an alarm clock app or automation app.

* Listen to Broadcastify.com’s audio archives to listen to audio that’s been archived over the past 30 days. Note: You *must* have an account on Broadcastify.com and purchase their “Premium Membership” ($15 for 6 months) in order to access their archives using the app.


In addition to the above features, you also get the following features with this version of the app:


* The ads are removed.

* The play button at the top of the directory screens and on the widgets can be used to start listening without having to go to the player screen.

* With the “Scanner Radio Pro Locale PlgIn” plug-in is also installed you can have Locale/Tasker launch the app and have one of your Favorites automatically begin playing based on one or more conditions or have the app stop playing. One use for this feature is to have a scanner feed begin playing when your phone connects to a specific Bluetooth device and then have it stop when the connection to that Bluetooth device is no longer present.


The audio is provided by volunteers (primarily for Broadcastify.com) using real scanner radios.


If you need assistance, please contact me at android-support@gordonedwards.net


Explanation of why various permissions are needed:


The “Phone Calls / Read Phone State” permission is needed by the app so that it can detect when you’re placing a phone call (or when one is being received) so that it can automatically stop the streaming of the audio to prevent it from interfering with the call.


The “Fine (GPS) Location” and “Coarse Location” permissions are required so that the app can determine what scanners are located in your area when you click on “Near Me”. When you click on “Near Me” the app first attempts to determine your location via the network, if that fails the app then tries to determine your location via GPS.


The “Automatically Start at Boot” permission is required so that a small portion of the app can be started when your phone boots if (and only if) you turn on the notifications feature of the app (that feature is turned off by default).


If the audio repeats or the app stays connected for only a short time, try returning to a directory screen in the app, then select “Settings” from the menu, then “Player settings”, and then try changing the “Streaming method” setting.
