[App]14.03.2011 SuperPower v0.80 Battery save:Data, Wi-Fi, BT, GPS, 2G/3G/4G, CPU mhz

THIS IS AN UNSUPPORTED EXPERIMENTAL BETA APPLICATION, BUGGY, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE USING.
About
SuperPower attempts to save battery power by controlling various power hungry components and features of the device. Its features include managment of the cellular data connection, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, CPU speed and 2G/3G band. It does all this automagically based on the options you configure.
There are more battery saver apps out there, but none that work the way I want them to. It is however meant to work relatively simply. If you want uber-fine-grained control use one or a combination of the other applications available.
SuperPower also serves as somewhat of an Android port of WMLongLife.
BETA, Development & Testing
This application is in beta stage and far from finished. There will be bugs, and the list of things that still need to added, changed, refactored, streamlineed, etc is long.
Primary testing and development is done on a Galaxy S (unbranded, EU, I9000) device, but I also run tests on a G1 and a Hero. Other users have reported it (mostly) works on the Droid, Milestone, Nexus, Desire, Pulse, EVO.
Android version
SuperPower requires Android 1.6 or newer. Some features require newer versions, and some features have a different code path on different Android versions.
For example, Bluetooth features require Android 2.0, while the download speed tracker (to not disable data while downloading) requires Android 2.2. Features are automatically disabled if they are not available for your Android version.
Main features
Control over
- Cellular data
- Wi-Fi
- WiMAX * Android 2.2+ *
- Bluetooth * Android 2.0+ *
- CPU speed * ROOT *
- Bands (2G/3G) * ROOT *
- GPS * ROOT, PATCH, Android 2.2+ *
- Auto-Sync
- Background data * ROOT, PATCH, Android 2.2+ *
Automatic management of the above based on
- Screen state
- Wi-Fi network connection state
- WiMAX network connection state
- Lock screen visibility state
- Download speed
- Foreground application
- Tethering state
- Sleep mode
- Low battery state
- Charging state
Other
- Schedule data connection to be available at certain times
- Schedule night mode
- Informative toasts in response to user actions
- Status bar notifications about the current state, which you can tap to change
- Provides handy shortcuts you can add to the home screen for easy access of a number of functions
Additional features
- Enable/disable data is non-persistent. APNs are not modified! This is no longer true on Gingerbread (2.3) and newer due to changes in Android security. Here either data is disabled entirely (Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile networks -> Use packet data, or APNs are modified (Access Point Names in the same menu).
- 2G/3G switching is supported in two different ways: RIL injection (highly experimental, any ROM, possible side effects) and Sidekick (AOSP ROMs signed with platform test keys, or using patching)
- Completely event based, no polling, ever.
Future features
I have a LOT of them already in my to-do list. However, if you have any ideas feel free to post them. To name a few that are already on my list: configuration wizard, widget, GPS control, mapper, signal-strength based 2G/3G. Of course improvement to current features, fixing bugs, etc are also on my (perpetual?) to-do list.

General: Will this prolong battery life ?
Quite probably, yes, significantly! BUT, there is never a guarantee. It all depends on how you use your device, the current conditions, and how you configure SuperPower. Some options in general save a lot of battery, but may be too inconvenient for you to use (specifically 2G/3G switching), and if you still want to use them, some playing with the various options may be needed to get it to work with the least amount of inconvenience to your usage pattern.
If you are a very heavy user, no amount of software is going to help you (much). You need a bigger battery (or a spare). If all you use your device for is streaming YouTube, chances are battery life improvements you will see are little to none.
CPU scaling may have less effect than expected. The amount of battery it saves has differed wildly between tests on different devices.
Using Wi-Fi may use significantly less power than using 2G/3G. Or, 2G/3G may use significantly less power than using Wi-Fi. It depends on the situation, the signal strength of both cellular and Wi-Fi, the transfer speed, etc.
Using 2G instead of 3G will generally speaking use less battery for most users, but this is not a given. It depends on the situation.
All in all however, the default SuperPower configuration will provide you with a setup that will save a lot of battery for the average user, with little to no inconvenience to the user.
General: I want feature X, but it isn't included
Feel free to request the feature in this thread, even if this feature is already listed in these posts that it will be implemented sooner or later. If feature X is posted about 10 times, and feature Y only 3 times, that may have an effect on the priority of implementation.
General: I expected X to happen, but Y happened
Please go through the entire configuration to make sure you haven't configured anything that causes this behaviour Y before posting here. Also read through this FAQ and the known issues. It is of course possible you have found an undocumented bug, if so please report it here (see "I found a bug")
General: I found a bug
If you post it here, perhaps we can do something about it. But first, please check your configuration first to make sure it is unexpected behaviour. When posting about a bug, always include the relevant SuperPower configuration options, exactly which device you are using, which ROM, etc. More information is usually better !
Data connections: The connection state changed, but didn't change back when I expected it to
In the default configuration, SuperPower will "upgrade" connection states as soon as possible, but general only "downgrade" them when you aren't looking.
For example, turning on data will be done as soon as you need it; while turning off data will generally be done only a while after the screen goes off. The same goes for for example 2G/3G. Switching to 3G will happen as soon as possible, switching to 2G will not be done immediately.
This does all depend on your SuperPower configuration, though!
System popups: The PIN screen pops up sometimes
On some devices certain actions can cause the PIN screen to popup when for example bandswitching or coming out of airplane mode.
If you enter your PIN code in the SuperPower configuration and you have such a device, SuperPower will attempt to automatically enter the PIN code for you - IF it understands it was one of SuperPower's actions that caused the PIN popup. An overlay screen will be presented to you while the PIN is entered and the SIM unlocked.
This is however an experimental feature, may not work 100% of the time, and can cause some inconvenience. If you find this highly annoying, but you do want to use the features SuperPower provides that may cause this behaviour, you can disable the PIN screen altogether in the device's settings application.
System popups: The lock screen pops up sometimes
Like the PIN screen, on some devices certain actions can cause the lock screen to popup. SuperPower actively counters this behaviour while it is performing actions. Should it still happen, please report it (and the exact situation that caused it), specific code that prevents this behaviour may need to be added to code in additional places.
2G/3G: A band switch is being performed even though I'm already in the mode it is switching to
It is not always possible to detect the current 2G/3G state. In that case, SuperPower will treat the current mode as undefined, and any trigger that will cause either 2G or 3G mode will result in a band switch being performed, regardless of what the current actual state may be. This is also a reason to not use the device's settings app (or any other app) to switch between 2G/3G when SuperPower is also using 2G/3G functionality. Always use SuperPower (and only SuperPower) to perform the band switch!
2G/3G: What is the difference between the RIL injection and the Sidekick method ?
RIL injection is as hackery as hacks come, and is currently only available for GSM devices. It completely circumvents most of Android and tries to force commands to be sent to the radio.
Sidekick on the other hand will use the same method as the device's settings screen to trigger a band switch, and is therefor both safer and faster to use. It does unfortunately require a compatible ROM. Carrier / manufaturer ROMs are usually not compatible, and not all custom ROMs are compatible either. Sidekick is available both on GSM as well as CDMA devices.
If your ROM is Sidekick compatible, Sidekick will always be used instead of RIL injection.
Both methods have not been extensively tested on a wide range of devices yet. So neither method may be compatible with your device. Please post here if neither method works on your device.
2G/3G: Even though I have root, the 2G/3G switching options are disabled (CDMA)
RIL injection is currently only supported on GSM devices. Only the Sidekick method supports CDMA at the moment.
2G/3G: Band switching takes too long, is this a bug ? Can it be improved ?
Band switching will take time, and inconvenience you. There is no way around this. The phone has to drop the network connection and completely reconnect to the tower.
However, in some cases it does take longer than in other cases. The Sidekick method provides the fastest band switching available, but is not compatible with many ROMs. If your ROM is compatible, though, Sidekick will be installed and used automatically instead of RIL injection.
When the RIL injection method is used (which will probably be for most users), band switching speed depends heavily on the device. Some devices are fairly quick with RIL injections, others are slow. If you have a device that requires your PIN code for operations such as band switching and coming out of airplane mode, band switching will also take significantly longer.
Depending on all these factors, band switching can take anywhere between 10 seconds and a minute. Band switching will usually save a lot of power, but you have to consider wether the extra battery life is worth the inconvenience.
2G/3G: I'm in 2G mode but my device switched back to 3G
Some devices are known to do this. If it happens to you, please post about it. An attempt a viable workaround is on the to-do list.
CPU: The device never wakes from sleep
Not all devices work perfectly with CPU scaling. If this happens, reboot your phone, go into SuperPower configuration, and switch the "ondemand" setting under "Root features". If that doesn't work, you'll just have to disable CPU scaling.
CPU: Using tool X shows me that CPU speed is never changed
The CPU speed cannot be easily changed on all devices. Some devices/firmwares are "perflocked". Disabling perflock is beyond the scope of SuperPower, and thus SuperPower will make no attempt to disable it. There are tools out there that can disable perflock on many devices that have it, for example, check out SetCPU.

Known issues
- IMPORTANT BUG - WARNING In various Android 2.1 (Eclair) builds there is a bug with push email. In case there is no data connection available, the background email service will go absolutely insane. It will use quite some CPU power constantly, and it will not let the device go to sleep - ever! I do not know if this bug existed before 2.1, and I have not seen the issue on 2.2 ROMs. If you are suffering from this, or suspect you are suffering from this, disable all the options in SuperPower to disable the cellular data connection.
- SuperUser: SuperPower does use a lot of root commands if you have root. You might want to configure SuperUser to not show toast notifications for every single request.
- State: Current state detection is not perfect yet and needs some improvements. I would advise trying to limit changing options in the application to times when Wi-Fi is off and you are in 3G mode as much as possible, just to be sure.
- Wi-Fi: Occasionally Wi-Fi and cellular data states will conflict, causing cellular data to be set to active when Wi-Fi is on. Happens sporadically.
- CPU Scaling: On the I9000 and family, you should (in my experience) enable the "ondemand" option if you are using CPU scaling. If you don't, and the device is in "suspend" mode, an incoming phonecall may crash the device.
- CPU Scaling: SuperPower makes no attempt to detect or disable perflock. If you have a perflocked device, you need to use SetCPU (or some other tool) to disable perflock on boot.
- CPU Scaling: SuperPower attempts to detect the possible CPU speed settings, and will choose the nearest value below half the maximum CPU speed as "low speed" frequency. The actual number chosen is stated in the description of the relevant option.
- CPU Scaling: I know some overclocked ROMs require the device to always be at this overclocked speed to prevent the device crashing during sleep. If you are using an overclocked ROM and encounter the "sleep of death", disable CPU Scaling.
- Roaming: SuperPower has not been tested while roaming at all. I suspect - but am by no means sure - there may be issues regarding the cellular data connection while roaming and you have set the device to disallow data entirely (while roaming). Let me know if you encounter any that seem directly related to roaming.
- Application specific: Applicatoin specific settings do not go into effect if the app is reached through the back-button, only if started through the launcher (or by some other app)
- Lock screen: Even if the "dont do ... while lockscreen visible" options are enabled, these actions may still happen if triggered by an application specific options
- 2G/3G: On some devices the device itself will automatically switch back to 3G, it will not stay in 2G for very long

14.10.2010 - v0.50 BETA - Initial release

Tested on the Moto Droid running CM6, works well tested some features

Thank you. Will also test your application.
Interesting for me is the function, turning of data connection when wifi is active because this month, I've only gprs speed.
My Galaxy S downloaded Asphalt through the Data Connection although wifi was available...and I did this 2 times -_-
One "error", maybe missconfigured: If the screen is off, and I turn it back on I've no network.
Even the network from my provider was not active. So there is no phone connection nor receiving sms possible.
When I turn the screen back on, it rapidly connects to my provider.
Maybe you can give me a hint what I missconfigured

great app, it is working very well for me. Turns off data connection when screen is off and turns on every 15 minutes for 2 minutes to allow autosync. Exactly what I need for power saving since with 2g only and no active auto-sync I am saving a LOT of power.

Works Excellently
Nice App on 2.2 JPM THX mate

will test it and report back to you
for now; THANKS

When you mean the network is not "active", do you have a "white circle with a line through it" icon ?
Do you have 2G/3G switching enabled ? The above is exactly what would happen if:
- You have enabled switch to 2G when screen goes off, and you turn on the device while the device is switching to 2G
- You have enabled switch to 3G when screen goes on
In both cases it is a temporary situation that takes about 10 seconds to resolve. Unfortunately switching between 2G and 3G takes time.

Thanks Chainfire. I will try this app and I’ll let you know if I find any bug or I got any suggest.
I really like the option to disable data when the screen is turned off, it’s very good for those who sometimes forget to deactivate 3G when. The only bad pint that I can see to this particular feature is that I could stop downloads of big files unless you have the screen always turned on. By the way I still really like that feature.

I guess you have something planned like a watchdog to see if there is any data transfer before stopping the connection. If thats the case I think it might be not so easy as some apps could be connected to the internet with very small data transfer. However, you are the expert on this.
I just tested in my SSGS with froyo 2.2 (JPM). I'm just using default options (disconnect data when the screen is turned off) and I have realised that when the data gets disconnected the phone makes a small vibration. It would be cool if we can avoid the vibration as it also spends some battery

Likely it will be related to the download speed itself, not sure yet though.

As stated in the first post the vibration is a debug option. It will be removed / turned off in a later version. Remember this is beta

I activated both options.
Ok, if this is intended behaviour and just happens if I switch the screen back on, than it's fine.
Thank you

Note that if you turn off the "Automatic switch to 3G" option, SuperPower will switch to 3G when you start any of the programs selected in the "Applications requiring 3G" instead of every time you turn on your screen.

Wow this is great! I'll download and try when I upgrade to JPM this weekend! Nice to see a great Dev working on the SGS!

Nice app mate thanks, look forward to more development. And damn you have TONS of phones, mind giving us a HD2? haha.

Bug Report!
Bug Report!
Force closed on I9000M on when switching back from another app back to SP
reloaded SP and it went in properly
I9000M became unresponsive after enabling 2G/3G option

[APP] Auto Data Version 2.5 [09/27/12] Free & Donate Version

Okay created a simple app for my own use that i'm not yet sure if it will extend battery life since I just finished it today and will do the testing tomorrow!
Concept on What It Does?
- If your display screen is off, it toggles the mobile data to turn on/off every few minutes.
- If the display is on, then it wont turn the data on/off
- It detects if 2g/3g/4g is on as well
What's the difference between this and tons of applications out there that turns off the automatically turns off the data when the screen is off?
- I have unlimited internet bandwidth on my phone but limited battery life. I rely on the internet for my instant messaging and work emails. If I use one of those applications that turns off the data when the screen is off, then technically I wont be able to receive those emails until I turn on the screen. That's how the idea of creating Auto Data came from. Basically I want to be able to receive messages while the screen is off without heavy battery usage.
- As I have yet to do actual field testing I'm not sure if it will extend or drain the battery! - Well at least that was my idea
Why Create This App?
- I'm looking for a way to extend battery life of my phone (HTC ONE X) without me having to turn on and off the mobile data manually since I have unlimited mobile data but limited battery life
- I want to learn how to program even the simplest things on Android for my own use
Bugs?
- You tell me
How Can You Help?
- I need testers to test the app. I have a little programming background knowledge but I know logic, so don't expect too much if you have suggestions / comments or if you find bugs.
- I need good icons that I can use for the app (any graphic artists out there?)
Not working?
This application requires that Mobile Data is initially turned "on" in Android System Settings to make it work.
Battery Still Draining Fast?
If you flashed a new ROM, you have to give it a few charge cycles in order for the battery to normalized and be calibrated. Usually, 3 - 4 full charge cycles before you'd notice the difference.
Donate Version
If you like Auto Data and would like to help out, you can consider donating. By donating you get the full features of Auto Data unlocked.
Donation can only be done through PayPal at the moment, as Google Checkout doesn't support the country where Im at so until Google Checkout supports comes, no choice but to use PayPal (Sorry about that).
There are 3 ways to donate, 1 is from the app itself, you can click "Donate" button. 2 is from XDA you can click "Donate to Me" button under my username, 3 you can manually enter my PayPal email which is "[email protected]"
Once you have donated, kindly send me an Email with your PayPal confirmation code and I will send you a APK that will unlock Auto Data.
Kindly allow me up to 48 hours to send you the APK file that unlocks AutoData, I have to send you the APK manually and due to time zone differences I cannot promise that I can send it immediately, but I will ASAP!
Donation Amount?
Any amount is appreciated. I do not put a minimum limit to donation. It's a donation so what ever you feel like then its fine!
Thanks for considering donating!
Disclaimer
- By installing and trying this application, I take no responsibility on what it does to your phone. Please use this at your own risk! If you do not accept this then please don't try this application.
- As this application has been developed for my own use since I have unlimited mobile data, if you do not have unlimited mobile data then I suggest you do not use this application since it automatically turns on and turns off your mobile data.
PS: Again, I have to do actual testing to determine if it does improve battery life. Would help if others can do testing as well.

Great idea man, like your thinking.
Few ideas for your app.
- Adding data on interval settings 5mins / 10mins / 20mins / 30mins
- Option to remove Status bar icons, too many apps have these and they clutter up the notification tray and some are ugly and ruin peoples UI's that they have spent time building. ( I my self run Slimmed down ICS, no System tray App notifications but core systems ones and i avoid coloured icons at all costs )
I see your a clean theme man your self :-D
- Profile so that during set hours it switches on WIFI, so people who work 9till5 can save data during work hours but not have to worry when home because they can connect to their home wifi using a set time. So data saving mode is enabled from 8am till 6:30pm outside these hours its switched off and wifi is enabled ?

Thanks for your suggestions.
I'm rewriting the whole program again since it got too complicated which caused the program not to work.
I already have a very early stage working. Doing the test now.
Adding interval settings is a good idea, I just hope it works since Android has deep sleep.
Option to remove the status bar icons = Okay I will include this
Profiles to set hours to switch over WIFI = okay I will see what I can do

Sounds good, let me know if you'd like me to do some testing.
Im always away with my phone so I can do extensive testing while at work.

nice idea, but what i would like to see is something like Auto3G for iOS;
http://modmyi.com/cydia/package.php?id=28562
basically, it switches to 2G when the screen is off, and back on when the screen is on; or you can set if the phone is connected to charger, say on 3G at all times..really useful!

if you turn off 3G when the screen is off then you wont be able to receive push emails / gtalk messages right?

they can work on edge
Edit: you can also provide a white list option, for some apps, so that they always use 3g no matter what

On my fascinate with aokp m6, even when the screen is on, it turns the data off. It not always happen, but its randoms. After that i should manually turn on the data.

[APP] [2.3+] Data Switch SAVE BATTERY Easy

Stay in sync, save battery, data traffic and money.
WARNING for Android LOLLIPOP users: Mobile Connection Cycle Works only on Rooted Devices.
One of the functions that use a lot of battery is the data connection.
Using this app you can also save 30% of battery; this means that at the end of the day you can have 30% battery instead of a fully discharged battery.
This application is useful to save battery, data traffic and money, also limit the device radiation and stay in sync.
It allows you to cyclically connect to the Mobile Network or to the Wifi one to synchronize e-mail, appointments, contacts, program data, etc.
With the "Cycle when Screen Off, Connect on Screen On" option Checked you can have Automatic Connection when Screen is On and Cyclically Connection when Screen is Off; you can forget to switch the connections!
You can also delay the termination of the connections when you turn off the screen; this is useful for example when you are using a Chat App and you're waiting for a quick response.
Review on xda-developers Portal​
With the "Cyclically connect regardless screen state" option checked you can Cyclically Connect when you are using the device, for example, while you're watching a movie.
If a Wifi connection is available it will take precedence over the Mobile one, to save data traffic and money in case of not-flat rates.
You can also enable sounds and vibration alerts, enable and disable notifications (PRO), set start at the boot, suspend the cycle and enable connections when the device is Plugged, set the type of connection you want when you turn on the screen or the device is Plugged or Unplugged and set the times at which the cycle is suspended.
The application installs some WIDGETS that allows you to activate the cyclic connection or turn on/off quickly the Mobile and Wifi Connections.
To be synchronized and save battery power, for example, set "Activate Data Connection" every 10 minutes and "Keep Data Connection Alive" for 45 seconds.
Advanced PRO Functions:
. option to set how many minutes activate data connection
. option to set how many seconds keep data connection alive
. option to disable notifications
Advanced features will be developed in the future...

My Gtab 10.1 has the deep sleep bug when wlan is set to always on.
With this tool I could set settings from wlan to "always off when screen off" and combine it with your tool to get the best benefit out of it.
so it does not work yet with screen off? Will test it as soon as i got home

Deep Sleep?
This is what I was looking for. But I have one question: when it performs check will it wake the device from deep sleep? If so, won't it have opposite result, that it will drain battery faster?

How is this different from what juicedefender does?

I entered the awakening of the device (still for a few seconds) because on my test device (Galaxy Note 2), unlike the Galaxy S2 where everything works fine even in deep sleep, i could not activate the wifi when the device went into deep sleep.
In the next version will insert an option that will not trigger the awakening.
But I think, if you use some reasonable settings (eg run every 10 minutes - no less) the awakening does not affect consumption of the battery.
However, you can not have everything in life. :laugh:

Auto Pilot Mode
Current Version: 8.00​
Auto Pilot Mode is a very lightweight tool to enable airplane mode. Battery rapidly drained when the phone is out of service/signal and tried to search for a signal to use. In order to prevent this battery drain, Auto Pilot Mode will detect when the signal is below a certain threshold. Once this threshold is met, airplane mode will be turned on for a specified amount of time. After this time, airplane mode is disabled and the checking process repeats.
Settings/Features Explained
Scheduling System - Automatically changes thresholds and times according to a schedule set by you (Great for when you sleep)
Threshold - This slider will determine the threshold of the signal. If the signal falls at or below this threshold, airplane mode is put into queue.
Pending Time - Specifies how long airplane mode is in queue for after the signal falls below threshold.
Airplane Time - Specifies how long airplane mode should be enabled before performing another check.
3G/4G Basic Detection - First step toward mobile data support, checks whether you are connected to a network or not
Ignore If Charging - If the phone is charging, ignore the status of signal and never enable airplane mode
Only Disable Cell Service - When airplane mode is enabled, WiFi, Bluetooth, and all other forms of communication are untouched
Start on Boot - Start the service automatically when the phone boots on.
Prevent Call Drop - If you are receiving or initialing a call, the service is paused and airplane mode is not toggled until the call is finished.
Maintain User Airplane Mode - Keeps user toggled airplane mode until user manually disables airplane mode.
Hide Status Bar Icon - Hides the icon in the status bar
Remove Notification Buttons - Removes buttons from the notification
Display More Info In Notifications - Adds more information to the notification
Send Feedback - Allows users to send feedback to the developer. (Found in the menu)
Help Option - Explanations of each settings
Always Visible Menu
ScreenShots
Known Issues
3G/4G Detection (Advanced)

This is pretty awesome. There's not much service where I live, so this actually keeps my phone alive a little longer.

is it possible a option can be added that the app icon can be disabled in status bar.?

4G LTE
Any plans to add 4G/LTE support? The app seems to work great except when I'm connected to LTE. It seems to think I am out of service and enables airplane mode even when my LTE reception is great. On a Moto X on AT&T. Also the Moto X uses on screen keys, your app states that there is a menu but I can not access it as you don't have the 3 dots or hamburger menu for people without that key.

In my mind Google has become evil, Everywhere I travel, Google shuts down my Gmail account until I manually log in and admit that I am in that location. I don't think I am on any Govt surveillance list. Here is the latest mail I got from them, just a few days ago:

Very interesting app !! Indeed one of those functionalities that really should have come pre-built in the OS.
I have just installed it, and thus haven't had a chance to test it myself - although I have no doubt it will work as advertised.
A few ideas for improvement come to mind immediately though:
1.) As others have already asked: an option to remove the status bar icon. Also, when an icon is present in the status bar and thus there is an entry in the notification queue, tapping on the notification message should have some useful purpose, like opening the app. Currently, tapping on the notification message doesn't seem to be doing anything.
2.) As others also have noted: for a user, it is a bit unclear what would be good threshold values. We rely on the developer to provide us with sensible initial/default values. Are GSM:3 and CDMA:-113 the best choices ? If so, it might be good to indicate in the app description that the app comes with sensible defaults. Also, a "restore thresholds to default values" button or menu item might be a useful addition.
3.) The option to restore WiFi is a nice bonus. However, the underlying issue is that the problem the app wants to address really doesn't require Airplane Mode, strictly speaking it only requires the cell radio to be shut down.
a.) Why would you even want to do that ? One might be in an area with really bad cell service, but still have access to a WiFi network (e.g. in a hotel in a very remote area, but even in cities: my battery sometimes drains just from being in a building with a special type of walls).
b.) And is it even technically possible ? This app (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=the.radioshutoff) is able to do it, and I can personally vouch that it works as advertised. Note that it may not be possible on all devices, as I suspect the different radios are integrated tighter in some devices than in others. That probably accounts for the very dichotomous ratings for that app.
Do you think you could implement this into your app ? The downside is that you might have to rename it ...
Anyway, this seems like a very useful little app with a lot of potential. Thanks for releasing it !! :good:

I have being using this for a few hours and it seems to be working well at switching to aeroplane mode when the mobile signal is poor.
However it also seems to have switched off my wifi on a couple of occasions. Anyone else encounter this?

I have debated whether to implement this on release and now that there has been a lot of talk, I will add an option to remove the icon on the status bar. I initially hoped to keep the icon there to remind users the app/service is running.

It has become clear to me that my app is a little on the confusing side. The CDMA Threshold slider is measured in -dBm, I just removed the "-". Also, the app does run in the background. Although it is considered "Perceptible", if Android is running low on memory and stops Auto Pilot Mode to release memory, Auto Pilot Mode will be able to automatically restart after memory becomes available by Android; however, I will look into checking the status of the app.

It is impossible to search for a signal if Airplane Mode is enabled. Airplane mode disables all communication radios and does not receive or send any information.

Also, when an icon is present in the status bar and thus there is an entry in the notification queue, tapping on the notification message should have some useful purpose, like opening the app. Currently, tapping on the notification message doesn't seem to be doing anything.
2.) As others also have noted: for a user, it is a bit unclear what would be good threshold values. We rely on the developer to provide us with sensible initial/default values. Are GSM:3 and CDMA:-113 the best choices ? If so, it might be good to indicate in the app description that the app comes with sensible defaults. Also, a "restore thresholds to default values" button or menu item might be a useful addition.
3.) The option to restore WiFi is a nice bonus. However, the underlying issue is that the problem the app wants to address really doesn't require Airplane Mode, strictly speaking it only requires the cell radio to be shut down.
a.) Why would you even want to do that ? One might be in an area with really bad cell service, but still have access to a WiFi network (e.g. in a hotel in a very remote area, but even in cities: my battery sometimes drains just from being in a building with a special type of walls).
b.) And is it even technically possible ? This app (play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=the.radioshutoff) is able to do it, and I can personally vouch that it works as advertised. Note that it may not be possible on all devices, as I suspect the different radios are integrated tighter in some devices than in others. That probably accounts for the very dichotomous ratings for that app.
Do you think you could implement this into your app ? The downside is that you might have to rename it ...
Anyway, this seems like a very useful little app with a lot of potential. Thanks for releasing it !! :good:

Android versions above 4.1 should open the app when you touch the notification and not the buttons. Android versions 4.1 and below should toggle the service on and off if the notification is touched because there is not support for buttons in notifications until Android 4.2+. I has quickly come known to me that my app is rather confusing. I will attempt to write a more in-depth description and have an tutorial option in the menu. Lastly, I will look into better ways to implement what I am trying to do in a more effective manner.

I have being using this for a few hours and it seems to be working well at switching to aeroplane mode when the mobile signal is poor.
However it also seems to have switched off my wifi on a couple of occasions. Anyone else encounter this?

The "Recover WiFi" option will only re-enable wifi if the wifi was on before airplane mode was enabled. If this isn't happening, send me an email with more information regarding your situation.
Thank you all for the feedback! It is greatly appreciated!!!

First off, thanks for the feedback on the feedback !!

I have debated whether to implement this on release and now that there has been a lot of talk, I will add an option to remove the icon on the status bar. I initially hoped to keep the icon there to remind users the app/service is running.

Your last sentence is an understandable concern, but the reality is that this kind of app ideally is one of those set-and-forget services. Many users (especially the kind that can be found on XDA) may have up to 10 of those apps/services running and icons for all of them would drawn out the true notifications. Even on a desktop PC, where there is much more screen estate, Windows 7 has the option to hide individual status bar icons. Sorry, I didn't mean to hurt your feelings there

I installed it on a phone with 4.0 ICS and indeed, touching the notification toggles the services, I simply didn't notice it before. Would it be difficult to implement that upon toggling, the icon changes color ? e.g. a gray icon when the service isn't running. That might be a useful improvement for those wishing to keep the notification icon.

WHAT IS POWER BATTERY ?
Is an application that has been developed Kisler to improve the battery and in which we can select a number of options available to suit our needs can optimize the duration of battery . The idea of ​​this application has been to combine options that are useful for battery management and in turn be simple to use for everyone .
OPTIONS AND WHAT BRINGS ?
To improve this consumption have a number of options are:
Battery Percentage : This section is intended to determine the percentage of battery from Battery Power shall act performing the operations described below, default is 15 %.
BASIC SETTINGS
Wireless Mode: Selecting this option turns off the wifi if you have it activated before entering in the range of battery action defined in the beginning to Battery Power .
Data Mode : Selecting this option disables the data if activated before entering them in the range of battery action defined in the beginning to Battery Power .
Sync Mode: Selecting this option disables the synchronization should have it checked before entering the battery range of action defined in the beginning to Battery Power .
Bluetooth Mode: Selecting this option disables the bluetooth if you have it activated before entering in the range of battery action defined in the beginning to Battery Power .
mode Location: Selecting this option disables the location should have it checked before entering the battery range of action defined in the beginning to Battery Power .
Silent mode : Selecting this option disables the sound / vibration should have it checked before entering the battery range of action defined in the beginning to Battery Power .
Led Mode: Selecting this option disables the LED notification should have it checked before entering the battery range of action defined in the beginning to Battery Power .
ADVANCED
Mode Range: detects a known and active wifi zone wifi to connect automatically or off when leaving the area. (Discussed in detail below).
CPU Mode: Reduces CPU frequency automatically when entering the range defined in Battery Power Battery .
CPU Maximum Frequency : Defines how often you will use the CPU and the CPU mode , default 540 MHz
OPTIONS SCREEN
Brightness Mode : Reduces brightness automatically when entering the range defined in Battery Power Battery .
Brightness Percentage : Brightness Percentage to be applied in the glow mode , default 0 %.
Dark Mode: Controls the brightness as if it were an automatic but with lower values ​​to making work less and reducing the brightness sensor
Pocket Mode: Turn the screen to remove the phone from his pocket and is optimized to consume less than the native rom
Notification Mode: If a notification arrives for a few seconds to pick up the phone turns on the screen without pressing the (must activate accessibility " settings / accessibility / power battery" )
Notification Time : used in the second mode is defined notification
HOURS SMOOTH
Hours Mode : Turn the hour mode to manage data and wifi connection at a time interval.
Week end mode : Activates the alternate schedule for weekend
Restore Links: Restore connections to turn the screen during the hours so
Disable Sensors: Disables the sensors during the quiet hours
Set time : Set the time and day of the week that will activate the quiet hours
PROFILES
These options are combined with profiles Cyanogenmod . Its operation is as follows:
Battery power gives you the option to choose 2 profiles ( of Cyanogenmod ) for that you must enter the name of the previously created profile in the " Settings / Profiles " on Battery Power (default is "Home" and " street" ) . In each of the profiles you can enter a range of performance Power Battery, for example in the profile " House " 15% if we select the profile " Street " 25% . This is so that the Battery Power switch profiles automatically change its range of action and will know when your battery should act removing the options that you feel is necessary . To enable the use of profiles with Cyanogenmod Power battery is made from the " Profile Mode " option.
If not select any profile or the profile used is not one defined in Power Battery percentage to be used will be the first that we have defined earlier .
DISCLAIMER MODE RANGE
This mode produces no wakelock , battery consumption or anything similar . It is designed to conserve battery power in the event that we get out of range of our wifi preventing the active connection be used and consumed without activating it when we get to a place where there is a known wifi stay.
To do this I have based on location through LAC and Cell ID , or put more colloquially by the position of the antennas.
In the picture above you can see a simple design of antennas and radios. Battery Power antenna detects how you are and if you are in your area or not. To do this the first time I conectéis the wifi zone start checking nearby antennas ( depending on the house may be affected by one or more antennas ) .
Once detected out of the range of action of these antennas ( this may vary ) check the state of wifi is connected and if it will be off. The opposite case is that when entering the range of a registered as a wifi access point antenna, wifi be activated.
In the case we are in the same location, for example our home and want to disable / enable wifi to not have changed position we can do like coming to a new area to choose a new wifi network , since disconnection / automatic connection is made just by changing antenna .
In the event that wifi is turned off before choosing a new wifi network you connect may be due to a crossing of antennas ( due to the change from one to another so quickly disconnection may occur ) and if the problem persists after several attempts the solution may be to move a few steps to avoid this junction or off the range mode temporarily to introduce this new wifi.
Advantages of this: It has no wakelock , maximum energy savings by not using the location network location.
Disadvantages: If you are traveling to a remote area of your home, but that you get that antenna signal , being detected as " known antenna " believes these at home and activate the signal . This drawback will very much depend on where you live each and the number of antennas that affect the area. As a rule in the city or area where a large number of antennas work better this way .

Sounds great, shall test! Sounds smooth without even testing

bugs
Hi, are there any bugs?
because I have school tomorrow and I don't want to have bugs. I need the gps. Is it working?
and is there the same bug as in the CM that you can't connect to wifi extender networks or is it all stock based?

Need to download Stock Kernel or no?
Any bugs to look out for?
Cool, it has app ops!
Bugs
MAC address is messed up @core720

will I lose duel sim support, if I flash this? Given this is based on 1032 single sim.

xt1033 compatible?

No

its not support xt1033 dual sim its based on (XT1032 Stock 4.4.4 Brasil). so not working on our devices. no signal.

Any chance of a xt1033 compatible?

ART compatible?

Perhaps the DEV will kindly make a version of this ROM based on Stock XT1033 for Dual-SIM people. Having quickly looked: FM Radio should work and Motorola Camera / Gallery are included.

Wow
Waauw, this rom is greaaaat, soo smooth. I flashed the PA mini gapps on it and everything works great.
Thank you so much for this rom. I would like to hit the thanks button 30 times if I could

Sounds nice ROM, i will test

I just tried to install but the file is corrupted by me

I do believe you have to convert your file system type if you're running GPE or custom roms before flashing this one due to being based on stock. Is that right?

Only GPE converts USERDATA partition. If you are running anything else; you can just wipe and flash this.
