Easy Guide to save battery on EVERY Android Device with ANY ROM - Galaxy S 4 Themes and Apps

Guide for AOSP / CM / AOKP / Original TW-based Roms, every Stock-ROM with root, nearly every Custom Rom ​
Works on:
Samsung Galaxy S4
Samsung Galaxy S3
Samsung Galaxy S2
Samsung Galaxy Note
LG 2
Sony Xperia
HTC One
nearly every other Android based Device incl Tablet`s with Android Jelly-Bean or KitKat
One of the most annoying things is the battery consumption of our devices.There are so many Apps in Play Store but most of them are " a Fairy tale"..
There are different ways to save battery. you could under volt your cpu, disable mobile date.. disable synch ect pp...Since 2010 i play around with different Android devices and here is an easy way to save battery. My way will automatic change to the best settings WITHOUT any undervolting, CPU-Tweaks and you will always be able to send and receive data.. I tried different setups, while normal use.
My definition of normal use:
Samsung Galaxy S4
30h of Power ( Mahdi 01/11 KitKat Rom ART active, KT-Kernel without any tweak)
GPS-Navigation with Google Maps for 42Min
Calls about 58:35 Min
Whatsapp online (all the time)
FB Messanger Push on
FB
Kaiten Mail push active (wrote some Mails)
13 SMS sent
Audiobook via PowerAmp 120 min
Screen on for 5h
Location-Sevice and Data always on
76h of Power ( Mahdi 01/06 KitKat Rom ART active, KT-Kernel without any tweak)
nearly the same use
with "automatic Airplane-Mode from 22:30h - 9h
If you follow the steps your phone will:
Switch GPS on if you need it and turn it off
turns HSDPA+ / LTE on when you are not connected to an WIFI-Network and you turn the screen on
Switch HSDPA+ / LTE to 2G when your Screen is off
turn the screen off when you are not looking at the screen
turn the Screen off when you close the S-Cover ( Samsung Galaxy S4 on EVERY ROM)
turn WIFI on if you nearby a known WLAN-Station and off when you are leaving the location ( no matter how many "known" networks with automatic localization " Cell")
switch to 2G and turn of mobile Date if you connected to any WLAN
close apps when screen turns off ( FB or any other app.. its up to you)
before we start you need:
Jelly-Bean 4+ or KitKat ROM 4.4+
Samsung Galaxy S4 ( don't matter wich version) or any other Android Device
root ( custom rom is not nessesery but will make some things easier, i prefer Mahdi with KT-Kernel)
Tasker ( Play Store " 2,99$ ")
Lux ( Play Store " 3,80$" )
Hold Screen on ( Play Store )
Greenify root
Securesettings ( Play Store " free" )
F-Droid ( alternativ store "free") DOWNLOAD LINK
Hal Monitor ( F-Droid Store "free" )

If you root your S4 and install Security Settings and install the "Helper" you will be able to switch between 3g/ 2g.. via Tasker...If you want i will make a little guide with screenshoots..

Guide for TW-based Custom-Roms ( Echo-Rom,...)​
First of all is: You need a custom rom TW-based e.g. Echo, Omega, ( be sure to use the right modem to solve 4.3 TW-Based Rom`s failure of losing data-conection while screen is off)
1) go to Google Play Store and instal Tasker
2) go to Google Play Store and instal Secure Settings (Pic 1)
3) launch Secure Settings and instal Helper 1.2.3 ( Pic 2)
4) Open Tasker and create a new task e.g. "2G off" choose plugin " Secure Settings" ( Pic 3)
5) Scroll down to " LTE" and mark " toggle" and save ( Pic 4)
6) Save Task and make a second Task with the name e.g. " 2G on" with exact the same settings
7) Use my Tasker Settings and change Task form " HSDPA off" to your Task 2G off and "HSDPA on" to your Task "2G on"
Have fun.... cheers

i believe u got it the other way around, hdspa off --> 2G on and hdspa on --> 2G off
one question though, if i still choose to use ur task, can i use it instead of changing it?
i'm using a TW-based custom rom
thx

the 2g did not work, nor the stock tw rom, not in miui. My s4 is the i9500.

It would be nice if you will do a video tutorial to it,
even without voice commentary.
Because I do not understand the point with tasker plugins.
Cheers

But so with a TW ROM is it not possible to switch 3G to 2G and vice versa? Is it only possible to deactivate data traffic?

I hope i understand your post correct...
The difference between CM / AOSP / AOKP and TW custom rom is, that you are able to choose directly 2G on/off ..for example:
On CM / AOSP /... you could use Tasker to switch directly without any tool ( e.g.Secure Setting ) between the different network-modes. take a look on picture 1- 3
On TW-based custom rom, you`ve only the choice to " toggle" ( with tools like Secure Setting) the network-modes. This means that you coulden`t define exactly the network-mode! You are only able to toggle the mode for example :
You are on 2G/WDMC/LTE the next "modus is "2G"... so if the task starts it will toggle from 2G to 2G/WDMC/LTE... if the SAME task runs again it will toggle from 2G/ WDMC/LTE to 2G...
You could use my " Taker settings" from first post but you have to change the task "HSDPA on" and "HSDPA off" to "toggle" like I explained it on post 13...
cheers

Yes and No... you could toggle the network-mode ( root + custom TW-Rom like echo-rom, omega-rom,... + Secure Settings)
Please take a look at post #18

[APP][2.0+] Toggle2G (Tasker/LTE/Rootless) [v0.3.5 / 1/13/2013]

I've made a java application to take "any" flashable ROM zip and resign the zip and inject Toggle2G into it. Check the downloads for ResignUpdate.zip. Check the readme-first.txt in the zip for more information. Works with Windows/OSX/Linux with java installed
Here is a little app I've started working on that enables the 2G Only setting automatically when the phone is asleep to save battery.
As always with these kinds of things, I am not responsible if something goes wrong, so use at your own risk.
Working on Android versions since 2.1. I'm using it on my Nexus 4.
Installation:
The flashable Toggle2G-Update.zip is designed to work with CyanogenMod based ROMs. There is no need to resign any CyanogenMod ROMs.
The easiest way to see if Toggle2G works on your ROM is flash the Toggle2G-Update.zip from the recovery. If your ROM is compatible, Toggle2G will show up in your app drawer.
ONLY IF THAT DOES NOT WORK, then you can try the ResignUpdate java application to convert your ROM. ROMs must be in zip form and be flashable through a recovery like CWM or TWRP. Download the ResignUpdate.zip and read the included readme-first.txt file. Once you resigned your ROM, you then wipe and flash the resigned ROM.
See the troubleshooting section below if you have trouble.
ResignUpdate Change Log:
v3.0.1 - Don't close out of the GUI on certain errors
v3.0.0 - Automatic SecPhone.apk and SecSettings.apk detection | Running ResignUpdate.bat/sh without any parameters pops up a GUI so you can pick the ROM.zip file (Should help with path issues). You can still use the command line options if you want and it will bypass the GUI.
v2.1.3 - Update Toggle2G.apk to v0.2.0.
v2.1.2 - Overrides ROM's Toggle2G.apk when injecting.
v2.1.1 - Bug fix during Toggle2G.apk injection.
v2.1.0 - ZipAlign resigned files.
v2.0.4 - It seems keys need to be physical files..fixed
v2.0.3 - Don't fail on unreadable apks. Sign resigned zip. Move injection files into ResignUpdate.jar so no path issues.
v2.0.2 - Better detection of RSA file in an APK. Some additional optional parameters to help with any fringe cases that might come up
v2.0.1 - Don't change apk's storage method when processing it
v2.0.0 - Initial Release
Toggle 2G Change Log:
Always reboot after an update!
v0.3.5 Added option to always switch to 3G. This is if you want 3G except when on wifi or data off or low battery. / Fixed Spanish translation crashing Toggle 2G. / Start to refer to networks as fast/slow. This is because users might want to toggle from LTE to 3G.
v0.3.4 Fixed bug that was switching back to 3G
v0.3.3 Enable data in auto swich mode will reactive 3G
v0.3.2 Fix retry of network change when data off setting is used
v0.3.1 Fix bug when toggling data that was preventing the Manual Notifications from working.
v0.3.0 Added LTE networks and removed the need for ROOT (You will need to re-setup Toggle2G after upgrade)
v0.2.4 New icons from LeopardSurd. Show version number at top of Toggle 2G settings screen.
v0.2.3 Try for 5 seconds to get network to switch after data turning off data. I hope this helps with switching on phone like the Galaxy S II; German translation thanks to Aiakio; Italian translation thanks to krinet
v0.2.2 Fixed bug where sometimes network would switch to the same network causing data to disable then enable
v0.2.1 Fix some issues with not switching.
v0.2.0 Option to wait for phone unlock before switching to 3G; Option to turn data off to switch networks; Option to switch to 2g when data is off; French translation thanks to mooondark
v0.0.20 Set SDK to v8 to fix compatibility with CM6
v0.0.19 Updated German using the translation from Aiakio.
v0.0.18 Added translations by muchopoli83. (Danish, German, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Portuguese, Russian, and Chinese)
v0.0.17 Tweaked chmod on preferences folder
v0.0.16 Switch to 2g when data is disabled. Better fix for bug where settings are not surviving a reboot.
v0.0.15 Fix bug where settings are not surviving a reboot (I hope). New icon from hawkeyexp, thanks!v0.0.14 2G when sleep on/off option, 2G Notification fixes/options, Options reworked
v0.0.13 Option to not switch to 2G if network is being used. Default threshold of 2 KBps means 2G will not enable if >= 2 KBps is being used. Threshold is configurable in settings
v0.0.12 You can pick a specific network through the Tasker/Local plug-in (not just 2G or 3G) / Battery feature can be turned off / Disable options only applicable to auto manage when its off
v0.0.11 Delay switching to 2G when wifi is turned on to prevent network outage during transition. Also added option to off the feature that switches to 2G when using wifi.
v0.0.10 Fix bug that was not changing auto manage
v0.0.8 Customizable network selections for 2G and 3G modes.
v0.0.7 Added home widget. The Toggle 2G plug-in app is needed to use the widget.
v0.0.6 Option to allow user to choose when to switch back to 3G using the notification bar. Requires a separate plug-in app attached here or from the market
v0.0.5 more fixes to try and prevent switching when phone rings and phone wakes up
v0.0.3 fix issues with disconnecting incoming call
v0.0.2 adds Tasker/Locale plugin support!
Automatic Mode Features:
Switch to 2G when wifi is connected.
Switch to 2G when data is turned off.
If screen is off for more that 10 minutes (configurable in the app) it will switch to 2G
If screen is off and battery is below 30% (configurable in the app) it will switch to 2G
Network usage monitoring to prevent switching to 2G if network is being used.
3G can be re-enabled as soon as the screen is turned on or unlocked or it can be done manually
Option to Disable data before switching network. (Required on some phones/ROMs)
Option for manual switching back to 3G. This setting allows user to choose when to switch back to 3G by selecting a notification in the notification bar. Requires separate app located on market or use link below
Notes:
Runs in the com.android.phone process to gain access to the 2G Only setting.
Shares process with system so installing will list pretty much all of the permissions
Uses root access to save preferences, seems running in the com.android.phone process can causes some problems with creating a preferences folder to hold the preferences file. Root access is needed to save preferences. I have a new system for saving preferences that does not need root. However, as a backup, if Toggle2G fails to use the new system it will fall back to this old system and use Root, (I didn't want to break it for phones I can't test on)
Does not change network while in a call. Otherwise the call will drop because the radio resets. (Even if Tasker/Locale tells it to)
Changing network can be slow. You may have to wait a second for 3G to reactivate. I suggest using the manual switch to 3G option and plugin if this is the case.
Due to issues with how Toggle 2G uses a shared user id, I've implemented the notifications and home widget under a separate app.
3 settings for the Tasker/Locale plugin and home screen widget. Automatic, 2G , or 3G (Setting 2G or 3G disables auto mode)
ToDo:
Don't switch to 2g while tethering
disable the 3g when the reception is between ___ and ___ to keep it from flip-flopping. (Can't be done, you can't monitor 3G reception levels while in 2G)
Use g sensors to detect movement and reactivate 3G to lower radio down time after unlocking phone (Monitoring these sensors would drain battery and defeat the purpose)
If you think of a feature or find a bug, let me know.
Also, I've attached a values.zip file so that everyone can contribute to translating Toggle2G to other languages.
I'm a code junkie, please support my habit
SOURCE CODE IS AVAILABLE HERE:

Toggle 2G Plugin Source
TROUBLESHOOTING
* Make sure you have Java 6 or higher installed
* I get an "Failed to find any apk with a key" error when signing my ROM
If you get this error it means that ResignUpdate tool could not find one of these files in the ROM's zip file:
system/app/phone.apk
system/app/settings.apk
system/app/SecPhone.apk
system/app/SecSettings.apk
At lease one of these files is needed to identify what in the ROM needs to be resigned. You can open the ROM's zip file and try and find where one of these files are. If you find it in a folder other than system/app you can specify one of these files in the -keyapk parameter when running ResignRom. For example, if you find that the SecPhone.apk is actually in the preload/symlink/system/app folder, then put preload/symlink/system/app/SecPhone.apk in the -keyapk parameter. ​

OK, so here is a little app I've started working on that enables the 2G Only setting automatically when the phone is asleep to save battery. It's not polished at this point, just trying out the features and come up with more to add.
** REQUIRES CyanogenMod 6 **
Notes:
Signed using the CM6 platform.x509.pem so not sure what other ROMs it will work with.
Runs in the com.android.phone process to gain access to the 2G Only setting.
Uses root access to save preferences, seems running in the com.android.phone process can causes some problems with creating a preferences folder to hold the preferences file. Root access does a mkdir to make the preferences folder and that is all.
Does not change the 2G Only flag while in a call. Otherwise the call will drop because the radio resets
Changing the 2G Only flag can be slow. You may have to wait a second for 3G when turning the screen on after it has switched to 2G while the phone was asleep
Features:
It doesn't bother switching to 2G if phone is plugged in
It doesn't bother switching to 2G until wifi disconnects
If screen is off for more that 10 minutes, it will enable 2G Only setting
If screen is off and battery is below 30% (configurable in the app) enable 2G Only setting
3G is re-enabled as soon as the screen is turned on unless battery is below configured percentage
Install the apk then reboot the phone.
After reboot, run the Toggle2G app to enable the service and configure the low battery %
ToDo:
Widget to switch between Auto, 3G and 2G.
If you think of a feature or find a bug, let me know.
Enjoy!

Testing now anyway. Will let you know if it works. Widget would be awesome to switch from 2g to 3g to auto
I agree, a widget would be amazing! Also a adjustable timer for when the screen goes off.
Sweet! Something I've dreamed about
Locale plugin would be utterly awesome. If i could make this thing autoset 2G when i go to bed or whatever other conditions i choose, that'd make this thing complete.

Unless I'm wrong, it doesn't appear that the 2G/3G radio is on when wifi is on, so it doesn't bother switching it from 3G to 2G because it resets the radio and I didn't want it to do that if it didn't matter. So basically, when wifi is on and connected, it never switches to 2G when the phone is asleep until wifi finally disconnects.
Adjustable timer is next and the Locale plugin is a great idea.
hmm this could be a very useful app 10 minutes is a while to wait and see if it works

Well I leave my wifi on all the time (when im at home or watever), I guess thats where the widget to set 2g would come in handy

Actually i think it is in fact doing that. I opened up the "Network" app and noticed that if i enable wifi, GPRS service goes to disconnected so you may be right after all.
using it! =]
weird...is there no link?

Sorry, didn't realize that I removed it. I've uploaded a new version that has a configurable time and an option to still enable 2G when the phone is powered (Allows me to debug with the USB cable plugged in)
It would be awesome if you could add a db value threshold as well.
BTW, I'm convinced this same method is used on iphone 4 to get the battery life it does.
cool, will this be open sourced ?
OK, I've updated on more time.
Fixed a bug where sometimes the service wasn't getting any CPU so it wouldn't set to 2G in a timely manner. Should be responsive now. Note that setting to 1 minute could mean it can take 1 minute 59 seconds to switch to 2G

Once I get it cleaned up I may do just that.

Can you elaborate on what you mean by db value threshold?

In a low reception area the phone tends to switch back and forth between 3g/2g. I think somewhere around 104.
So basically disable the 3g when the reception is between ___ and ___.

Tips to get the most out of your battery:​
- DONT PLAY GAMES TOO MUCH (or at least no 3D) ghehe
- Disable "Auto-Sync" and "background data" In settings menu
- Stop all running services you dont need: Settings >> Applications >> Running services
- Disable Data Roaming
- Enable GSM Auto (PRL): Go in the Dialer and dial: *#*#4636#*#* Press phone information and enable GSM Auto (PRL) This will help alot to save your battery BUT on some carriers it will set your connection to 2G.. I can confirm that on vodafone your connection will present 3G or H.. If it converts to 2G, then set it WCDMA preffered
- Reduce the screen brightness
- Disable GPS and "My Location service"
- Disable Your data connection if you're not using it
- Disable Audible tones in Settings >> Sound
- Disable Auto-brightness
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Changelog:​
- 1.2 Inital release
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you have ANY questions/bugs/problems, please post hem below
And dont forget, all credits will go to CyanogenMod, ManU and to everyone who helped to make it possible

mmm... some steps don't make sense. I mean, disabling the GPS for instance. You are practically asking us to transform our smartphone into a non-smartphone...
The idea is good, but the battery tips aren't for everyone.
I add the manu kernal to gingervillian at the moment and use go launcher so nice to see a rom with both already in.

Because some people just leave it on and on.. yea that will quickly drain your battery.

Setting GSM Auto PRL disables 3g in a lot of countries, right?
GPS can be left on safely because it's only used when starting a precise-location app (like Google Maps). All those weather-widgets and such don't use the GPS.
Disabling data-connection when not in use... well that way how do you get your notifications for Gmail, Google Talk, WhatsApp, etc... ?
If you turn your smartphone into an olddumbphone, then yeah it will give you great battery. Ofcourse, this kinda defeats the purpose of having a Desire, isn't it?
Not talking and / or playing games is the best battery saving tip I can give . All those different ROMs and kernels don't matter much to be honest. They can reduce the power usage if you don't use your phone (idle in your pocket) a bit, sure... but if you use your phone they're all the same .

Setting your phone to GSM Auto (PRL) is hard to explain, but it WILL keep your 3G data connection.
Thanks for the game tip will add it.
And its just a tip eh , if you always got synchronizing on, then i'll advise you not to disable.. but like me, i never have these services running so i just disable the connection

Well, it doesn't do here . I have data, but only 2g (old style gprs).
Sometimes the 3g icon appears near the Belgian border, but no H for the ultrafast that I pay for .
Wonder what Vodaphone does differently. But back in the time when we were porting the Hero ROM's to 2.1 before HTC does we had huge battery draining issues, and someone was spreading around that all should use GSM PRL to fix it.
A long thread of flaming cut short: It's not a fix but a trick do disable a lot of the newer functionality in your cell phone with 3g networks. On some it switches back to 2g (and you could just 'disable 3g' to get the same battery saving effect) and on some 3g was still possible so it helped.
Just saying, take care with that option if you want mobile speed. It's not always so simple as it's on your network

so is your rom battery efficient or is it just in combination with your tips? because the tips are relevant to every other rom aswell. i wont name a rom battery efficient when only these tips will make it efficient.

[APP][ANDROID 3.0+] WiFi Connection Manager

DESCRIPTION
The Wifi consumes a lot of battery, this is a really, and the main consumption occurs while the system is looking for a network to connect (which happens when we are not connected to a wifi network).
This app attempts to minimize the battery consumption, and does so in a very simple way: turning off the wifi, which translates into a real battery saver.
So, when it detects that the device has been disconnected from a wireless network, and after waiting a reasonable time (configurable), the hardware wifi going to off.
A few minutes later (configurable), the wifi hardware is reactivated and system scans for some seconds (configurable) searching for available networks.
If it hasn't been possible to establish a wifi connection, the hardware back off again and, therefore, to stop consuming resources.
Furthermore, to increase the battery saving, the application increases the delay between two consecutive wifi activations in each attempt (to a configurable limit).
The application also allows you to add notifications in the status bar, view the history of connections (PRO version), auto disable while airplane mode active, etc.
CONFIGURABLE TIMES
First deactivation time: After a wifi connection was lost, or after device boot, this is the time that system wait before start managing the wifi hardware.
Deactivation time: When the wifi hardware is disabled, this is the time that app waits before activate the wifi again. Increase this time to save battery, but note that system can't establish a wifi connection during this time, even if a wifi network in the range.
Deactivation increase time: This is the time that is added to the deactivation time each time that app deactivate the wifi, in order to save battery.
Max deactivation time: This is the maximum deactivation time. The system cannot increase the wifi deactivation time over this value (in each deactivation).
Activation time: This is the time that wifi remains activated in each check. Decrease this time to save battery.

hi,
tried the code provided at OP and working fine.
note that the code allows to access all PRO features but shows Ads...
After put the code try to access to the connections history. If done you're in PRO version.
Works now , it doesn't show pro after restart the app ( that was the mistake ) but the connection history works now

You're right.
PRO version code is only show for PRO users that has buy via InApp.
Just corrected in new release.
I think this app could be even more useful if it was possible to combine wifi search with gps location. So the app could use more energy searching for wifi when phone is near a location previously registered as having wifi connection available, like when I'm near my home. Please consider to implement a configurable feature like this.

Location via GPS uses a lot of battery.
I'm planning to add TELEPHONY location (location via phone cells, that don't uses additional battery) in a near future.

1) Device is connected to a wifi network
2) The wifi connection is lost
3) If before "first deactivation time" a wifi connection is established then goto 1 else goto 3b
3b) "deactivation time" is the configured value for "deactivation time" then goto 4
4) disable wifi and count "deactivation time" minutes and goto 5
5) enable wifi
6) if before "activation time" a wifi connection is established then goto 1 else goto 7
7) add "deactivation increase time" to "deactivation time" then goto 8
8) if new "deactivation time" is higher to "max deactivation time" then set "deactivation time=max deactivation time" then goto 4
Thanks for creating this great app and for the bonus xda gift.
One request: could you add the option to set the timers by entering numbers or using up/down buttons? The sliders are difficult to be precise with.
Cheers.
Thanks @bartito though will check the app later

Yeah, enable/disable based on the location via mobile cell would be really nice. That's what i'm searching for.
So if you're in the mobile cell(s) where you was connected to a known wlan before, the app enable wlan and if you lost the wlan connection and you're not in the known mobile cells anymore it disable wlan after the deactivation time.
Just try it and check if it could save battery or not.

remove features from a smartphone Android

Hello , I would like to pose a problem " atypical ".
I need to use an android phone only the date / time stamp, GPS, NFC reader , the GSM network (only to speed the search for the position ) , a wifi network (only for my one application installed on the device) .
Basically I need to remove almost everything from an Android phone (call , browse, update , install / use applications other than the default, access to wifi networks other than the one set , take pictures , watch videos / listen to music and so on) .
Let me clarify the operation expected : the user turns on the device and my application start; the device is switched to standby ; when require, user unlock the phone and obtain some information ( date / time, GPS position detected) ; put the phone to a NFC tag , it reads the data and saves informations in local ( automatic operations , without human intervention ) ; emission of a sound of completion operation ; standby until successive readings ; when returned home, phone identifies the wifi network and exchanges data with an enterprise server . Nothing more.
I ask , is it possible " clear " an android phone to not allow any function different to the above ?
(sorry for my english)

Are you making an app or are you making your own os that would do only the above things??
If you dont want call and all those functions you could go to the root of rom to /system/app and delete the apks like phone call storage sms related thing ( to remove call and sms) to delete browse delete the browser apk
and delete the certificate installer or package installer apks to remove installing function etc
HIT THANX IF I HELPED:laugh:
Yeah you can go to system root #with es file explorer root or system.root and then delete call and all other apps from System/app. And delete their data from system/data and then reboot. I think that icons will somehow show up(u can hide them) but the functions will stop working. Hope It helped
Sent from my GT-I9300 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Titanium Backup Pro allows you to freeze apps (disable them and they typical diaper from your drawer. It also allows you to back up and remove it.
I'd go this route as you just start delete stuff with out knowing whats going to happen then who knows, at least this way you can disable it first and see if your OS is stable.
very useful tip
for many but not for all!
your suggestion (test before remove) is valuable.
thanks to all.

Version Information
Status: Testing
Current Stable Version: 1.0
Stable Release Date: 2016-01-01
Created 2016-01-01
Last Updated 2016-01-09
Documentation
*This documentation in English, There's an Arabic version available in my website, ThinkDroid - Press here .
Introduction :
WiFi Saver is an app that control the WiFi, Using this app, you can turn the WiFi and disable it in specific conditions, and in specific time, and in multi-ways, And to make it clear .. the "Main" Saving features are "Basic Saver" and "Low Strength Saver" and the other are optional Mods, that may not apply for " saver " name, but will apply for " WiFi Manager " name, And that's the app .. it's a saver and a manager .
Features Explains :
Basic Saver
This is the main features of this app, When enabled, a checking alarm will run every 5 minutes ( changeable ) and check for two conditions, One : If WiFi is on and not connected to a network, Two: if connected and there is no internet connection, if it meets one of the conditions it will disable the WiFi .
How to check if there is an internet connection ? : the WiFi is on right?, it will try to connect to the following famous link, this method is the best to check for internet connection and it's well known, the timeout for the connecting test is 7 Seconds, And a note to mention, If you are downloading and taking the full speed, the connecting test may fail .
Low Strength Saver
A Secondary feature, When enabled, a checking alarm will run every 5 minutes ( changeable ), and check for the following condition : If WiFi Network Strength is less than < 30, if yes it will disable the WiFi, you can know the strength from "Show Network Details".
Lock, to enable Mods in Locked Status
Here's where the most saving part is, When enabled : Will run the Basic Saver, Low Strength Saver, and Auto Connect even when the device is locked, and when disabled : Will run the mentioned mods only in Unlocked status .
Important Note : Enabled means it will wake up the device for checking, and this will lower the "battery saving", So please don't complain about not saving a lot when you enable this mod .
Specific Auto Connect
What i personally use, When enabled, it will enable WiFi every 30 minutes ( changeable ) and connect to a specific network ( You Must set it in Network Name preference ) , if it doesn't exist, Or there is no internet connection, the WiFi will be disabled .
You can set up to 3 network names, Finding network timeout is 10 seconds, and checking for internet connection timeout is 5 seconds, the best possible delay .
*Ok, wait .. what if i have set 2 network names, and both of them exist in the same range ?, Easy question, it will try to connect on order, for example, First Network : Bla, Second Network : Blabla, if "Bla" exists and the WiFi is connected to it, it will ignore connecting to the second network, Simple thing .
Random Auto Connect
Same as the previous mod, But this one won't connect to a specific network .. nope, it will connect to the Strongest, Saved network you have in the range, the conditions apply on this too, if no saved network found to connect to, Or there is no internet connection, it will disable the WiFi, and the delay is the same ( 30 minutes - changeable ) .
Airplane Mod (Related To Auto Connect )
This Mod is related to Auto Connect, As requested from user, Sometimes the user enable Airplane mod and don't want to enable WiFi at all, So when this mod is enabled, it will disable Auto Connect Mods, and will automatically turn it on again when Airplane Mod is off .
Enable WiFi When Unlocked
Enable WiFi When Unlocked, Self explained, and needs some notes, it will only turn it on if there's an actual lock, it detects the Unlocking event, So no lock = No Event detecting, In some devices "Swipe" lock can trigger the event .
Disable WiFi When Locked
Also self explained, and same as above for the "Lock" note, And an important thing to mention, there's a delay, Sometimes the user lock his device accidentally, to prevent this, I've added a delay, after locking the device by 5 minutes, the WiFi will be disabled, this to ensure that locking wasn't "accidentally" .
Basic Timer
A Simple, Required mod, by this mod you can set a specific time to enable the WiFi, and disable it, This mod won't carry for device status if locked or not, it will follow your time orders *Yay* .
Specific Auto Connect Timer
This timer is different, it won't do anything to the WiFi, nope .. it will run the "Specific Auto Connect" Mod in specific time, and will disable it in specific time .
Random Auto Connect Timer
Same as above, but this one will run the "Random Auto Connect" .
Custom Service Delay
The Custom delay will change the Basic Saver, and Low Strength Saver mods delay ( default is 5 ) .
Custom Auto Connect Delay
Same as above, but this will effect the Auto Connect mods only .
Show Network Details
In this simple feature, you can view Connected Network Details : Name, IP (Ipv4), MAC Address, Link Speed, Frequency (API 21+), Strength .

Beautiful work :victory:
With the "Disable WiFi when locked Mod" it happened to me today to drain my 4G balance because the wifi was in fact disabled when my device was locked, but not reconnected when it was unblocked.
To reconect wifi, it must be done manually. I've done the experience several times. So I do not use any of the 3 new lockers. I've an Huawey Y6 rooted with Kingroot.

To reconect wifi, it must be done manually. I've done the experience several times. So I do not use any of the 3 new lockers. I've an Huawey Y6 rooted with Kingroot.

Ive been waiting for a decent app like this for a long time! I plan on downloading it when i get home. I cant wait! I'll update with a review of it later. But from what ive seen so far, it should be a good one! Thanks!
