[APP 2.3+] 3C Toolbox (aka Android Tuner)

Dear users,
Considering all 3C apps are now based on the same source code, they all behave the same way, and will exhibit the same issues. Any queries will also likely applies to all apps.
To make my life easier while continuing to provide support here (and start with a clean slate), I decided to close all my app threads and open a fresh new thread here.
With your continuous help and support, the past 4 years have been a great adventure and experience. Let's take a fresh start and continue this amazing adventure.
Thank you all!
*** See at the end of this post on how to get support for any issues ***
The most comprehensive toolbox to save battery, tweak, tune, backup, secure and monitor any Android devices running any ROMs, any kernels.
What is 3C Toolbox
Replaces 20+ apps easily worth 30€ for the price of a couple of beers!
NB: Starting with version 1.0.3, Android 2.2.x and 2.1.x are no longer supported. App supports Android 2.3 and above, including Android L preview.
Safest root app on Play Store: I run the app and all its features on at least 4 devices every day, and change 3 of them frequently for testing purposes. With about 250.000+ actual users, it's pretty safe to assume the app is very safe. App can create a reset package to disable all system tweak features from CWM/TWRP at any time. App has automatic fallback in case of boot loops while re-configuring the CPU.

◊ How to get support for any other issues
Please send a support request from app settings, help and support. You need to clearly explain your issue, attach any relevant screenshots showing where and how the issue occurs. I will not provide any support here.
All I ask is to provide reasonable details for me to be able to help, empty requests are mostly trashed, I keep one requests per device for the sake of a possible source of information for how the app supports things, to possibly fix things too or compare between variants of the same device.
For example a support request contain the following (you can check the content before sending it!),
all discovered SD cards, very useful for any related issues, including the mentioned read cache stuff.
app installation path and configuration, for xposed, battery, cpu, tweaks, apps or task managers problems.
battery history and configuration for any battery problems.
CPU configuration for CPU problems, including thermal, mp, voltage, etc
The idea is that you explain the observed issue, possibly add a screenshot so that I know exactly where to look for (app has 100+ screens and sometimes words don't mean the same for you and me), and there I can really do a good job at helping you.
PS: And so you know, I hate liars, insults, disrespect and myself. So please try to avoid those when requesting support.
Actually if you want support, posting the whole support request content, the screenshot and details here should be ok. Doing otherwise, I'll either ignore you completely or send you elsewhere very quickly, you want to leave me a one star rating, so be it: developing is my passion and I love it, you want my help, do it the right way or don't at all. I don't develop for stars, I develop for fun.

Attention !!!! Installs an apk to /system/ dosnt know what it does !!! Apk is there when uninstalled too !!!!

Will the users of BMW pro and system tuner pro get a discount or count this as an upgrade?

Amazing! Downloading now.

Hi 3c,
Not a bad idea to make an "all in one", just need to see about memory, battery and CPU usage... but I am pretty confident about that
No more update for System Tuner pro?
In all cases I buy it! (although slightly damage the impressive increase in the price ).
Thanks and congratulations for your new app

I've updated the first post with more information about that. Will publish an updated APK to ask user permission before installing it within the next hour.
EDIT: Didn't expected you guys to be so quick while I finalize the publishing of all required information.
By the way, the uninstall process can't uninstall other stuff, but as a rooted device, you should have no problem getting rid of this APK.
Please try the new APK published a minute ago (available in a couple of hours) that will allow you to refuse the APK installation.

Yes, just contact me with the order lists (bmw, system tuner and the new android tuner) and I'll refund old apps. This is the migration plan I'm working on.
EDIT: As of December 20th, 2013, direct refunds on Play Store are no longer possible. This was the only available way to offer discounts in a decent way. PayPal was an alternative available until February 2014, but it was abandonned because of the complexity, 30+% extra fees and the lack of global support (some countries could not receive refunds).

Yes, high price for now to avoid users who just try any apps and put comments after a few minutes of testing. And also to be able to offer discounts by refunding old apps paid version.
Nevertheless there will be updates on existing apps (not everyone wants an all in one app) with existing improvements, except features that require additional permissions.

Do you think youll ever add ability to spoof app permissions? And let user input the value... This would be an ultimate feature!

I'm looking into this actually, along with a smart "renicer", but both requires hacking Android or every APK to monitor and it turns out to be very complex.
There's 3 existing solutions on Market today:
- Hacking of Android class loader, as done by LBE Security app.
- Hacking of APK installed, as done by SRT Guard
- Patching the ROM like PDroid does.
They all have their advantages and problems, but the APK hacking seems the best option to go for as it results in a more stable experience, not as dependent on Android version as the 2 others and probably less disruptive as LBE can be when it messes up one's device. But then I'm not sure an APK can actually be installed properly
That said, I'm still looking into the first solution hacking app loading directly.

changed my play store entry about it

Is this [really] compatible with gingerbread? It lags, 'freezes' on screen and I have to long click the home button. I am using a sensation 4g 2.3.4. I'll get a logcat if you will find that that will help.

Yes it is compatible. When did it lag? After requesting to install the system app or at some other times?
When lagging, the OS usually creates a file in /data/anr/traces.txt. If you experience a new lag, you can send it to me, possibly using the support request feature in the app settings. You can then attach a file to the newly created email.
When it comes to lags (or ANRs for that matter), logcat is useless. It only mentions a reference to the traces.txt file

To me (if I'm wrong it's all user error) the system apk it was requesting to install (it appeared to me) was for ics/jb, so I refused the install. Your app kept requesting to install the extras. After a little thought - is the extra apk mandatory? No intention to cause any concern if what I'm experiencing is nonsense. I have not rated your app on the play store.
It lagged randomly.

The extra APK is now only for specific toggles as I manage to find a different work around for the JB logcat issue. Those toggles include the APN (mobile data), background data (this one's obsolete), debug mode, unknown sources, gps and wifi localization. The 1 useful toggles is for GPS though.
Until you press 'do not ask again', the app would continue to request the APK installation ;(
As for the lags you're experiencing that seems like a bug. Have you found any trace.txt in /data/anr directory by any chance?
It's just fair to be concerned with things like that, I can understand. But installing an app requesting 35 permissions, then granting root access to that app and then being scared about a 40Kb APK being installed on /system folder is quite funny actually.
If I may make this comparison, it's like letting a heavily armed man (the 35 permissions+root) in your home and then being worried being he is hiding a wallet (the 40Kb apk) in your home!
Anyway, bad comments always call for improvements

Seems permissions are about the same as some system apps. the taces.txt is up for you. Hope it does something helpful. Thanks for the app. I had sent a PM with the information about the purchases. I do not use google wallet.

Awesome news that you are working on user defined app permissions. I really hope you can find a good work around. And I do currently use SRT appguard in conjuction with Android Tuner and I did notice it seems to handle disabling app permissions pretty good. The only downside is that you won't get app updates from market but that's not a big deal to me. I think if you can get the spoofing action to work, a lot of people are going to want your app. There are plenty of times I haven't downloaded an app because I didn't like it's permissions. So being able to control them without breaking the app will be a dream come true.

[App] Greenify *Root*

Note: This is not my app. This app is by Oasis Feng
Update: I think the link to the app thread by developer would be this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155737
There is a new app in play store called Greenify. This app is only for rooted users. This app is similar to the freeze option we find in Titanium Backup Pro, but does the job in a much better way - it puts the app to hibernation.
Key features include:
1. You can add the apps to list which you want to hibernate
2. After the app is added to list, Greenify does the rest of the job.
3. No need to manually hibernate and de-hinbernate (like we manually freeze and unfreeze in TB Pro)
To use Greenify follow the steps below:
1. Open Greenify and give SU permission
2. Add the app to list in the built in recent app list or if you want to add app manually then choose more and open the desired app from list and tap on Greenify in notification bar.
3. In the main screen of Greenify you will see the apps that are currently running under "pending" category.
4. Now turn off the screen and wait for 2-5 minutes. Open Greenify again and you would see that, all the apps added to list are movee to "hibernated" category. All these apps are as good as frozen/uninstalled.
When the apps are in hibernated, they don't run in foreground nor in background. This will help in saving the battery and also increase the performance of the device.
I could test this by adding WhatsApp to the list in Greenify and later when WhatsApp went to hibernation mode I did not receive any of the messages in it (as good as the app not running). Then once I opened Whatsapp, it was our of hibernation and I received all my pending messages. Voila!
Note 1: you cannot add the system apps to the list. Greenify gives a message stating "Sorry, system apps are impossible to be greenified due to safety reason". Who wants to hibernate system apps anyways.
Note 2: Like the app description says in play store, it's not advised to put IM, Alarm clock apps and other apps that you rely heavily on for it to be running in background.
Note 3: You can send the pending app to hibernation immediately by tapping the app in list and tapping the pause icon.
Suggested list of apps that to be hibernated:
1. Facebook (take that FB!)
2. Google Maps (install as user app)
3. Any other rouge app which you wish to keep but keeps on popping up as background process. You tell me.
Weirdly I could think of only two apps! So share your list here. Thanks.
So this is really a very useful app which I feel would increase the milage of the device in long run. Kudos to the developer!

Thanks for sharing with us all. :good:

I tested it, and it works well.
Maybe excepted for Google Maps which keep coming in running apps even if put in the 'hibernated' list.
But that's a great app, I'll give it a try the next couple of days.

i know you said this app works better than freezing/unfreezing via TiBu but how is it better? This apps sounds like its the same thing. Just curious...

The OP said that it automatically do so (freeze/unfreeze) which makes it unique. In TB you always have to do this manually whenever you plan to use an app after freezing it.

Testing this, I'm fed up freezing apps then un freezing them when I need them. Play store doesn't show updates for frozen apps. Could be promising as apps are hibernated and run only when you need them. Best of all worlds of it works.
Pressing more exits the app at the moment
Sent via TCP/IP

So far, i hibernated whatsapp, facebook and twitter. I don't care about push notifications, but this works real nice! They are not running (background, cache, anywhere) so it gives me more RAM (specially you, facebook) and i can open em with no problems, no errors or nothing. Great app!

How's your increase in battery life?

AW: [App] Greenify *Root*
I'm using the ViperS rom on a HTC Sensation and greenify doesn't ask for root so I can't hibernate maps. I get a error message there.
ViperS uses a special superuser app, how can make it work?

You can try installing SuperSU app from market.. Then give SuprerSU su permission with special superuser app. From this point on you SuperSU app will be used to grant su permission. Greenify will support SuperSU.

Hi dev. Please, could you add a option to ignore the fact that some apps are system ones? Sony has some apps that are media related, and even Facebook, that comes with software, that ate safe to hibernation.

Dev won't be following this thread AFAIK. You can contact him at [email protected]
About hibernating system apps, since you are already rooted you can convert few apps like Facebook and other Sony apps which are media related to user apps with help of a titanium backup. This will enable you in hibernating them.
Take due care when converting Sony apps to user apps though.

[Q] Who is drops my battery??

Hi,
a month ago, my battery consumption was fantastic. A good example is the month_ago attachment.
Now, two weeks ago my battery consumption is horrible and can not find the explanation.
I installed a couple of applications of GPS and Maps, but are already uninstalled.
I made a test 6 hours without any use, no GPS, no BT, no WiFi, no 3G, no calls and has spent almost 50%.
BetterBattery Stats not give me any application that is consuming the battery.
Any idea how I can find out?
Model: Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo V
Rom: Legacy Xperia 10.1 CM
Android: 4.2.2
Anyone have any idea?
P.D: Sorry for my poor english...

Bump*

a few ideas to start your ball rolling
uninstall task "killers": android already does this for you
IF root: BootManager (XPosed Framework) : control which apps launch on power up
IF any app shows web ads = malware. uninstall. not only does it steal bandwidth, but also wastes battery
reflect on your use of "background data"
reflect on your frequency of checking for updates (email, social whoring, other messages)
consider your screen brightness settings
have you tinkered with 'perfomance' options via a ROOT app
a change in usage habits will be reflected by a change in battery longevity : this is purely rational
IF root: AFwall+ : track app use of your internets interfaces [wifi, mobile, bt pan, etc]
again: uninstall ALL adware or apps showing web ads. Or use certain root tools for ripping out the ad loading junk of existing apps. Blocking ads is not as effective as preventing apps from requesting ads per se
Other helpful Xposed Framework plug-ins
XPrivacy [Pro] --- or DonkeyGuard
UnbelovedHosts
xInstaller
Lightning Wall
HideBatteryLowAlert
Hide Battery Charged Notification

You can also post your BBS log in that thread and they will analyze it for you. The screenshots only tell part of the story. Good luck.

Try Greenify. It works very well for keeping your battery life up and not lettings apps use the Internet whenever they want.

Hi,
first of all, thanks for your replies.
Before answers all replies, more info...
In my holidays, I needed a GPS in my tablet, but dont work. So, in my phone, I´d installed "GPS over BT". The idea was pair devices, get location gps with the phone and send over bt to the tablet.
Therefore, when using the applications, devices were being charged at once.
When holidays ends, apps are uninstalled and the problems begins.
I think that the gps and bluetooh have been set enabled, but I'm going to the settings and there are disabled.
So, now, answering to the replies:

No change of any performance option. No overclock.

This is prudent system wide. Overclock without exogenous cooling is extra foolish. Per-app CPU throttling is a different matter. Changing "nice" level per-app might help.

I can use simple English. Some people take offense. Your English is better than my any other language.

Hi,
thanks for the new reply.
I've been pretty busy and I could not answer before.
I made a test with another battery from another phone of the same model with the same age as my battery, but less hours of usage.
The results are as follows: in the same scenario as the previous test, uses almost 25% less than before.
So, it seems that the battery is nearing its end slowly. Attach any images.
I decided to buy a new battery (with more capacity, and < 7$) and test how it behaves.
If it continues much the same, I will reinstall the current ROM that I have, beacuse I'm pretty happy with it and I'm tired of researching which application is causing the problem.
Thank you so much for all the replys and all the tips and recommendations. I really appreciate it

[APP][PURIFY][SAVE POWER & SPEED UP] The most powerful tool to optimize your Android

INTRODUCTION​PURIFY is an FREE APP to optimize your Android devices.
It kills battery consuming apps in the background and prevent it from auto-start.
And the notification box helps achieve the massive unwanted messages from different apps.
With ROOT access, it works more smoothly, here you can obtain ROOT access through KingRoot .
What is Purify
Save Battery Power:
First and foremost, Purify helps extend standby time and save your battery power.
Here is a testimony from a friend, "Now with purify app every 1% battery stays for a very good time while using. No battery waste on Standby".
Speed Up your Device:
By killing apps that insist on running in the background, Purify saves RAM for your device to help it run faster than ever!
And for the applications that utilize larger than average amounts of RAM, these too can also run smoothly after purifying mode is implemented.
Archive Notifications:
PURIFY also helps achieve notifications from all apps in one, and classify them for easier reading
Bloatware Remover:
In root environment, Purify is able to remove bloatware which annoy you day and night.
You can find it in Tools menu where at the bottom of home interface.
>>>>>>>>>>Download PURIFY 2.1<<<<<<<<<<
>>>>>>>>>>Install Purify from Google Play<<<<<<<<<<​
DETAILS OF PURIFY​
What's installed
#PURIFIY
PURIFY can automatically put closed/killed apps into hibernation mode while running in the background. What's more, PURIFY can also archive notifications for you - it will be like having a 24/7 housekeeper for your device. PURIFIY will be installed in your Data/app
What drains your battery?
#apps,apps and apps!
All running apps, all closed/killed apps, ad-supported free apps even multi-tasking will kill your battery.
It is inevitable that running apps will drain your battery. But what about "closed" apps? In Android OS, even if you aren't using an app, it will continue to run in the background, because it is essentially just doing it's job. So, will "closed" apps kill your battery? Of course, they will, because you can not truly kill them.
Additionally, all of the ad-supported/free apps can drain your battery much faster than others. They not only run in the background but also drain the energy from your processor and use your data connection to download and display new advertisements.
Although the ability to run more than one app at a time (multi-tasking) is great, it can really put a strain on your battery life. You may find that some apps seem really tough, always wanting to run, and we call this "auto-start". These apps run all time and have the ability to destroy your battery, your performance, and your Android experience.
So, what you can do to deal with them? Remove them or purify them with PURIFY 1.0 . I really recommend you try our PURIFY solution because you will never have to uninstall your beloved apps such as FaceBook or WHATSAPP. Not only can you keep them but you will be able to transform them into purified or battery-efficient and energy-efficient applications (no more running in background and no more auto-start drain)
#others
Screen, Bluetooth, GPS, Voice Service, NFC, Wi-Fi, Syncing, Widgets. We know you still want to enjoy the modern technology your device has to offer so we did not do anything to control your hardware in this version of PURIFY. But if you want, please tell us, we will develop more functions to save power for you.
Why is my device running slow
We all know that our device has a limited amount of internal storage and RAM - so, the less free space them has the slower it will perform. The most important thing is that if you do have not enough space you cannot run some larger apps. Your phone needs a little breathing room to run smoothly and if you're running low on space, things can slow down.
Apps which we mentioned above (Running in the background and Auto-start) will not only kill your battery but also occupy your RAM space. Multi-tasking several apps makes it easy to switch between different tools, but there can also be an impact on performance.
PURIFY can also help you to speed up your device and only lets apps the apps you wish to run smoothly run while purifying all others apps. You can control your device completely!
How PURIFY works
#Purifying mode
Enable purifying mode will make your device run like a champ and extend standby time significantly. PURIFY will Intelligently recognize which apps should keep running ( like music play, dialer, VPN and so on ) and which one should be purified. Purifying an app means that all functions (service, periodic task, event receiver, alarm, widget update, push message) of this app will become out of service except when you are running this app manually. If PURIFY detects that some useless apps are running in the background she will recycle it from RAM and prevent it from auto-start. Of course, you can also choose manually which ones you want to keep.
#Purify Apps
In this menu, you can manually choose which apps you want to keep and which ones you want to put in purifying mode. You also can choose if you want to auto recycle it or just want to block the auto-start process.
#Purify Notification Bar
In this menu, you can choose to archive notification for specific applications.
#Purify All
When you feel your device slowing down just click the "Purify All" button on the home page of the Purify app. All apps running in the background will be closed.
#Bloatware Remover
In "Bloatware Remover", just choose apps you want to remove and click removing button. Charge in your own device, remove bloatwares you don't like.

Yes, it is. But we will develop new function in next version to let whatsapp or facebook to receive push notifications even in purifying mode~ And for now, you need to get them out of purifying mode if you want to use them

Nice app. It has really improved battery life significantly. It also helps to declutter the notification area. One suggestion, please fully translate it in English. There are still some Chinese literals.

First I wanna congratulate the developer for this awesome app.
This app is just sick, and really works. Finally a battery saving app that really do work and push the limits of our battery usage.
Basically this powerful app use both greenify and servicely features combined together all in one and more. You get to control everything or u can let the app do it for u.
I installed the app today when I had 65% left on my battery but I'll do a full day usage tomorrow to see how well this app but for now I got to say just wow amazing.
Since lollipop I've never get this battery life.

SuperFreezZ is an Android app that makes it possible to entirely freeze all background activities of an app.
Any contributions are welcome.
SuperFreezZ is not yet another task manager promising to delete 10GB of data per month or making your device 2x as fast. This is impossible. You should freeze only
apps that you do not trust (and do not want to run in background) and
apps that you use very few.
If you freeze apps that you use daily, the battery of your device will drain faster and these apps will take longer to load. You should take the name seriously: SuperFreezZ will super freeze your apps, and it is not that easy to defrost them.

Features:
Optionally works without accessibility service as this slows down the device

I built and installed the app on my phone, but I couldn't get it to work. Can you please let me know how does it work? After some guiding pages, it reaches to a page with yes and no question. after selecting each of them, it shows a circle progress above the page and does nothing.
I liked the idea about the app so I'm very excited to get it to work
Thanks

Sorry, I didn't see your post, I thought that I'd get a notification when someone posts something here...
Anyway,

Doesn't it say "ALL APPS" anywhere? Quite strange...
What Android version are you using?
Can you send me a log excerpt (
Code:
adb logcat
) or even traces of the running stacks?
What happens when you wait 2 minutes?

The app should run in the background and automaticly freeze pre-selected apps just like Greenify does, overwise it's not much useful to me.

Been using this app for a week and like it alot. Especially as it seems to be one of the few open source options.
Only thing I miss in this is the ability to freeze system processes or the bloatware apps coming with the phone. Many of them are possible to freeze manually, but unfortunately they dont show up in SuperFreezZ.
Then there is the problem with restarting apps. As dimqua mentioned there is a need for autofreeze.

Good point, I will add it when I implement settings: https://gitlab.com/SuperFreezZ/SuperFreezZ/issues/8
And see https://gitlab.com/SuperFreezZ/SuperFreezZ/issues/15.

Hello,
I am really interested in switching from Greenify to SuperFreezZ, but am not entirely clear as to what the differences between the 2 apps are (if any).
What difference is there between freezing an app and hibernating it (which is what Greenify does, right?)? Why would it be a problem to unfreeze an app once it has been frozen, and does this process differ from what Greenify does with apps that have been hibernated?

There is no difference between freezing and hibernating.
And neither SF (SuperFreezZ) nor Greenify have anything to do with unfreezing/de-hibernating, the Android system does this from itself when you start a frozen/hibernated app. It is a problem because you will have to wait some more seconds until the app is loaded and the process also consumes some energy. And it does not differ from using Greenify at all, except for the fact that the developer of Greenify doesn't warn you.
So - actually you will see what the main differences between Greenify and SF are when using them. There are almost no "hidden" differences.

I implemented both of these features, you will have to look for them in the settings though. This is because they are rather for advanced users (that is, those who have a look at the settings).

I can now receive monetary donations: https://liberapay.com/Hocuri/! If you like the app, please consider donating something.

Please, add a root option to hibernate apps without accessibility service.

EMJI79 said:

It depends. SF can completely prevent apps from running in the background.
Newer Android versions (like, Pie) let the apps run in the background fewer and fewer when they are not used, to save battery. SF can make SURE that apps do not run in the background at all. From https://gitlab.com/SuperFreezZ/SuperFreezZ:
Get back control over what runs on your phone (this did not change)
Enhance battery life and reduce mobile data usage by freezing rarely used apps (hint: the system will also let them run in the background only a little, even without SF).
Especially useful while you are on a tour, where you need only some apps but a long battery life
If you want to be really sure, you will have to test whether using SF saves battery yourself on your particular phone with your kind of using it.
Update: Apart, apps cannot use the camera or get your current location or use the device sensors while they are frozen.
Update 2: Also see https://www.xda-developers.com/superfreezz-freeze-background-apps/

First of all, thank you for this cool foss greenify alternative.
I don't think you should worry much about copying that since "am force-stop" is first result when searching "kill android app command" and the accessability thing seems like a more complicated hacky workarround. Having this as an option for rooted devices would be helpful, especially for killing apps while locking the screen as I could not get that feature to work reliably so Im left with freeze shortcut. I like this freezZer more because I find default delayed freezing the most convenient way to save some wattbytes having way more installed apps than I'd like to admit. (Seriously, why would someone need to have an app that calculates dew point? No idea but it prooved itself that one time and it's only 127kB!)
Intelligent feature could maybe be improved by logging usage and delaying freezZing more (in defined bounds) the more frequently given app is used, but this may be a hustle to implement.
