Generally, Greenify uses some higher level of permissions, we're gonna deactivate the following 3 of those elevations:— Device administrator: Navigate to Settings >> Security >> Device administrators >> Greenify Automator >> (if the box is checked, un-check the box) >> Deactivate this device administrator >> OK (ensure visually that the Greenify Automator >> is indeed deactivated.) Apps with usage access: Navigate to Settings >> Security >> Apps with usage access >> Greenify >> (if it's set to On) >> Permit usage access >> (disable) >> (ensure visually that Greenify >> is now reflected as Off.) Accessibility: Navigate to Settings >> Accessibility >> Greenify - Automated Hibernation >> (if it's set to On switch it to Off) >> OK >> (ensure visually that Greenify - Automated Hibernation >> is now reflected as Off.) Navigate to Settings >> Apps >> Greenify >> Force Stop >> OK >> Storage >> Clear Data >> OK >> UNINSTALL >> OK >> (restart the device.) The Elevation: Reveal hidden contents Install the Greenify update but don't tap Open at the end of installation — tap Done, instead. Run Lucky Patcher >> locate Greenify and hold it down >> (as per the following figure) tap Move to /system/app >> Yes >> (wait patiently without interrupting the process) >> (after Lucky Patcher has done it's thing, tap Yes to reboot.) Next, before configuring Greenify, ensure activation of the following 3 elevations by reversing the corresponding steps mentioned on the beginning of this tutorial:— Device administrator: Apps with usage access: Accessibility: Whenever you run your Greenify next, you'll be welcomed by a setup wizard — configure as per your ROM status and after you're done, navigate from (the 3 dot) Menu to Settings >>----> Working Mode {if successful, you should see the Privileged (ROM-integrated) Mode status — as illustrated on the opening screenshot.} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dcs18 Posted June 3, 2017 Author Share Posted June 3, 2017 Hello guys! Close IDM — ensure that it's not running as a background process. Use Registry Trash Keys Finder to inspect the Visual Protect 3.5+ key and delete it, if found. Download Dukun Cabul's IDM Cleaner batch file from the OP and run it. Switch-off your internet. Install the latest IDM (whichever edition is your preferred one — Trial or Retail.) All the IPs remain the same. All the firewall rules remain the same. No hosts patching is required.
