Greenify
Greenify help you identify and put the bad behaving apps into hibernation when you are not using them, stop them from battery leeching, memory hogging and stealthy running, in an elegant and unique way! They could do nothing without your explicit launch, while still have full functionality when running in foreground. Like what iOS apps act!
The built-in App Analyzer will analyze and show apps in your device that keep running persistent services and those launch itself automatically on a regular basis (when network connectivity changes, or every time you unlock your device, install / uninstall / update your apps, etc).
ROOT is required. If you are experiencing hibernation issue, this may be caused by your root management app (e.g. "SuperUser"), please try installing "SuperSU" instead.

Open letter to mobile device manufacturers

Dear mobile device manufacturer,
Today mobile devices like tablets and mobile phones are primarily marketed as consumer devices and the main purpose is to sell content, mobile services, and to display ads. Professional users, especially IT professionals, have different requirements which are are not fulfilled by most of these devices today.
Here are the most important requirements for mobile devices:
- The user must have full control over his data. This means two things: a) The user must be able to read and write all data stored on the device. b) The user must be able to prevent data theft by applications running on the device, either by limiting app access to data, or by limiting app access to the Internet.
- The data on the device must be accessible from another computer through open protocols and interfaces and without sending potentially sensitive data over the Internet (think: USB mass storage). The user must not be forced to use a vendor-proprietary software or shop to access the data on the device.
- The user must be able to create a full backup of all data stored on the device. It must be possible to create such a backup easily, with as little manually intervention as possible. The user must be given the choice to create the backup in the cloud or on a local computer.
- It must be possible to either restore the device backup as a whole or to restore data individually per app. Reason: when an app is updated, it may turn out that the new version is broken, slow, or otherwise not fit for the purpose. If the new app version converted the data to a new format, not only the app must be rolled back, but also the old data must be restored from a backup.
- It must be possible to roll back apps after an update to a previous version. Ideally this shall be made possible by allowing the user to archive app executables outside the mobile device.
- The user must be able to revert to a previous OS version if the new version turns out to have problems. It must be possible to download copies of the OS software in a form the user can install later, at his own discretion, offline, and without intervention from the device vendor.
- The vendor must specify for how long he intends to provide security updates for the device.
- The user must be able to uninstall all applications pre-installed on the device.
These fundamental and simple requirements have been fulfilled by almost any computer system in the past 30 years. Yet there is not a single mobile device that only comes close to fulfilling them today. This is a real shame. We cannot accept that the industry takes control of our data and the devices we paid for.

This list is is probably incomplete. Feel free to add to it.

Consumption of internet in background... (natives) apps

I think I can say ... everyone here knows the native google services app, right? Well, this app performs structural operations on the system, plus functionalities. All this, however, in the background, and sometimes (with or without mobile data). In fact, every operation of this app is performed without such data, but, on the other hand, with the data attached, then [it] may come to consume. Several brands from manufacturers such as Samsung, LG, Sony etc ... allow the user to restrict the use of mobile data in the background of some apps (natives or not, which consume a lot of franchise or not). And these manufacturers allow two types of restrictions in the background. A: general, aiming not to exceed the limit of data used of the franchise, two: specific, whereby the user manually restricts or de-restricts the apps that are or are not consuming data (internet). Now, one thing needs to be said, depending on the version of android, of course, the place where the user can restrict apps from consuming rem background may be different. So to use a standard reference - in my understanding - I will use Samsung as a manufacturer reference, and the Android versions between 4.1 and below 5.0, aiming as I said, on average. It should be noted that in every app (native) can be made such a restriction. Of some native apps (not counting offlines, for entertainment), they depend on all the stability of the operating system, and not only, but they do not use any mobile data, even when connected. Returning to stick with google services, you need to expose two of your own characteristics. [It] does not use any data in the foreground (since it can not be accessed internally, since it has no icon in the application grid), and the second is that [it] uses data in the background (regardless if you are inside the play store "downloading something" and, or if automatic notification update synchronization is disabled).*The problem is that if the user restricts the background data consumption (specific form) of the play store app, for example, if he [user] decides to re-enable such consumption of the app referred to, it will do so without any problems. It is only the user (after accessing it internally, and spending a few kb / s of data browsing "in the store") to go to the mobile data consumption meter on your device and the list with the most consumed internet apps, click on top of the app you want the restriction (in this case, the play store) and choose this option. However, if the same restriction for the google services app happens the opposite. The primary constraint becomes irreversible! At least, that's what I said, I'm not in this forum, maybe someone points out an effective deal. Anyway, let's see why this [reported] is given. Remember the explanation, where he said: just spend a few kb / s, for this consumption to appear in the meter of consumption, and be clicking on top of such app? I was referring to the play store, I made it clear ... or not? Well, since google services does not use anything in the foreground, it will be impossible to make [such an app] appear on the referenced meter. This implies the possibility of reactivating consumption in the background (if restricted), not only referring to google services, but all apps that do not consume anything in the foreground.

Mobile Data Log vs. Wi-Fi Data Log

This is kind of a two-part question for the original Google Pixel device (now running Android 9, Pie):
1. If you want to see the data usage for MOBILE DATA, you can go into the system files and look in /data/system/netstats. Where can you find the data usage for WIFI DATA?
2. Has the locations for these trackers (/data/system/netstats for MOBILE DATA, for example) changed since Android Nougat? Where were they for the Nougat version of Android?
