Is there any Lollipop compatible app that would be able to quickly enable battery saving mode, e.g. disable GPS, Wi-Fi, lower CPU clock etc.?

FAQ
1) Can the GPS toggle be single click
instead of a shortcut to system
settings?
No. Direct GPS toggle is not possible
due to security restrictions on
android.
2) Where is the 4G toggle button or
the 2G toggle button?
There is an unified mobile data toggle
button, which should work for all
networks (2G/3G/4G). On some
mobiles Wimax toggle would also
work.
Simply add this toggle and change the
icon on the global settings screen. The
icon is only for the display purpose
and serve no functionality changes.
3) The flashlight is not working on my
device.
Flashlight is only supported on a
limited number of devices. I am not
able to support many devices as I
don’t have access to those.
4) Can the notification widget icon be
removed.
No. Current android API does not
support a notification without an icon.
You can instead use a transparent
icon or a battery icon.
5) The notification widget is pushed to
the bottom when a new notification
arrives.
Android currently does not support
adding a notification which is always
on the top. You can enable an
accessibility service which pushes the
widget on the top whenever a new
notification arrives.
On the main application screen, click
the pin icon in the notification section,
and enable the “Power Controls”
accessibility service to make the
widget pin to the top of the
notification area.
On Jelly Beans (4.1), you can set the
notification priority to the minimum
(in settings) to hie the icon, but then
the widget will no longer be always on
top.
6) Why does the app requires
CAMERA permission
This is required for the flashlight to
work.
7) I am unable to uninstall the app.U
Make sure that you have deactivated
the Device administration. Go
Settings > Security > Device Admins >
Power Controls > Deactivate.

Hi,
the current Location switch in the tiles screen turns the whole feature on and off completely and each time it is turned on I have to accept the location sharing warning.
Wouldn't it be more practical to have the Location switch toggle between high accuracy (network + GPS) and low accuracy (network only, battery saver) ?
I use that switch just to save battery not to hide my location, and if I want to hide my location, I do it permanently and I do not switch it on and off frequently.
thanks
bye

Even if the phone is not in battery saving mode, it turns off animations, lowers the screen refresh rate and lowers the screen brightness as if it is in battery saver mode. Notification bar becomes transparent as attached. Can you help me.
