If you've already locked everything down and you're happy with that, Amplify probably won't help you further. It will just waste time checking every wakelock and alarm to see if it should block it.

Think of Amplify as a way to avoid having to lock down your phone. You've turned off location serivces because they kill your battery right? You probably turn them back on before using navigation. Here's where Amplify comes in: You can leave Location Services on and STILL keep your amazing battery life. You don't need to block all of those items; they just need to be put on a leash.

Hope that helps,

Ryan
[Xposed Framework Modules] Taomyn:
Wow you're right, but it's also further complicated because if you hit "Store Home" during the navigation it resets the list at the point, unfortunately Amplify doesn't when you hit "Home"
[Xposed Framework Modules] Gizmundo:
Yes of course, I have used unbounced when it comes just for nlp reason and I clearly understand the purpose of this app. I wanted to tune up more which is maybe waste of time as you said. But my reason to subscribing was question on beginning if the App not consume more power as it could save in case there is no nlp wakelock to lock but other culprits. Thanks for your hard work. :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] tboooe:
Good point..I failed to mention that with Amplify I am able to keep my location service on all the time. Actually I think I am able to keep most everything on. That to me is the power of this app, it lets you use your phone as intended.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cryptyk:
There are definitely scenarios where Amplify will use more battery than it saves. That's especially likely if you've already locked everything down and you're in the 0.1% to 0.5% per hour category. Amplify isn't going to help you much beyond that, and you'll just be adding overhead.

Thanks,

Ryan
[Xposed Framework Modules] RusherDude:
Awesome mod!

But the spanish translation has some flaws:

"ESTADÍSTICAS DEL" ??? equals "statistics from", from what? Shouldn't be local statistics? ("ESTADÍSTICAS LOCALES") o phones' statistics ("ESTADÍSTICAS DEL TELÉFONO")?

"Wakelock permitidos" appears 2 times, the 2nd one should be "Wakelocks bloqueados"

"Servicicios" -> "Servicios"

"Alamrmas" -> "Alarmas"

And more stuff, how come spanish has so many contributors and yet has that many flaws? how to help?
[Xposed Framework Modules] furboom1240:
Hi there. I'm greenifying Google Play Services and I do NOT have this issue. In fact, I've donated twice.

Just thought you should know.
[Xposed Framework Modules] emd2009:
how do i know if this is working for me? ive had this installed for 3 days now and im not getting any stats and i when i go into the individual sections, there are no options for me to choose
[Xposed Framework Modules] shinra00:
same here unfortunately, version 2.0.5 from play store doesn't give me any reading after 6 hours

Hi, as listed in the spreadsheet, Android.content.SyncManager.SYNC_ALARM (OS Alarm) limit time is 2400sec. Is that a typo? Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] 1ceb0x:
uninstall, reboot, install again, reboot and activate and check after 10 minutes. did you tried this? usually it works afterwards :).
[Xposed Framework Modules] Zordak7:
+1

That's so true, the app has a very lousy spanish translation

Can we help with that?
[Xposed Framework Modules] shinra00:
Just to inform all the translators that since the app changed it name from Unbouce to Amplify the translations need some attention.

Some of them don't make any sense now and need to be redone and to avoid Ryan problems with the trademark restriction with the word Unbouce
[Xposed Framework Modules] Celestial Fury:
Actually, wasn't the original problem due to an existing website/company with the same name?

http://www.amplify.com/

http://www.amplify.la/
[Xposed Framework Modules] Solace50:
essentially your only adding overhead if the wakelock/alarm triggers and consumes more processing time in the total amount of triggers then it takes for unbounce to block each instance correct? where is the line drawn for this. i mean is there a rough estimation of what unbounce consumes each event so you can calculate a rough average to see if there even is a benifical tradeoff.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Solace50:
what rom are you using amongst the devices also what is actually disabled? did you eliminate googles framework completly? etc...

the only two things which i cant really eliminate since one depends on GSF since it utilizes some compontent of it for recieving silent web commands "avast anti security" and a few kernel related power issues (aka msm host issue). think ill try switching back to cm until 4.4.4 is released or something better for the s4.
[Xposed Framework Modules] grisu59964:
You can paticipate and improve the translations.

[Xposed Framework Modules] CHEF-KOCH:
I again now ask for a ad-free version for paid users, I hope I get an answer on this this time.

So can you please remove the ads libs in the paid version?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Weetbix:
There's ads in the paid version? I haven't seen them yet, and I've got the paid version (installed from the play store)...
[Xposed Framework Modules] CHEF-KOCH:
Some ads are not visible, just saying.
[Xposed Framework Modules] hosgor45:
OK. No problem. I will start working on it now and translate as much as I can and as soon as I can.

I am glad you enjoyed the city :)
[Xposed Framework Modules] SignetSphere:
I'm using the donate version as well and just tried MinMinGuard and I don't see any of those ads you're mentioning at all.
[Xposed Framework Modules] CHEF-KOCH:
Because you use an older version, if you don't believe me, open the app (rename the apk as .zip) and see the ads lib. Tested with the donate version.
[Xposed Framework Modules] SignetSphere:
I'm using the latest one. Renamed the apk also and I don't see any ad-libs there.
[Xposed Framework Modules] khairulez:
I'm using donate version and it's visible.
[Xposed Framework Modules] SignetSphere:
Well that's weird cause I don't see anything at all lol. But guys if I were you I'd leave that alone (or use MinMinGuard if you want) as a form of support to the dev. I mean you don't see any visible ads at all right? It's not that annoying imo unless you are are so concerned about your privacy.

EDIT:

I see it now as well (weird lol) maybe it just took time to scan it? I dunno but yep like what i said earlier I really don't care about it at all.
[Xposed Framework Modules] khairulez:
It's not annoying to me.yep that's right,i leave it alone..i don't care too much coz this is one of the best app in my phone [emoji4]
[Xposed Framework Modules] magnamentis:
a) can you do us all a favour and put such long quotes at least for the greater part into a container ?

b) all the answers about devices and roms are in my signature below and have been there for "ever"

c) it does not give any value to the community if i or others, for the umpteenth time, would post the answer as to what each indivdual has limited on his specific device/rom/config-combo. it is as i tried to explain in that lenghty post you quoted and therefore it does not make much sense to just copy other peoples settings. if you follow my advice you will be at the perfect settings for your configuration within only 3-4 nighttime observation periods.

d) last but not least there is the spreadsheet where you can look up the settings which some experienced yours found at least safe, even useful, or unsave and eventually not recommeded.

in short, if you read and search this very thred you find all the answers as well as hints and tips as to the practical value which you can expect for you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] emd2009:
That worked thanks!
[Xposed Framework Modules] cryptyk:
Sorry about that. Try pushing the RESET button on the home screen, then waiting about 10 minutes.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cryptyk:
I'm sure there is a calculation, but it's really complex, and probably imperfect. The overhead is so small per event and you can make big changes by limiting just one troublesome wakelock. Plus, everyone's phone is different.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cryptyk:
There are no ads. Not even in the free version. I'm not sure exactly why MinMinGuard is tagging Amplify as having ads, but it's wrong. My best guess is that In-App purchases or Google Analytics are triggering MinMinGuard.

So:

1) I use Google Analytics to track when someone opens the app. That lets me see which version of the app and OS people are using. I use that information to understand which versions people will be upgrading from so I can test the upgrades (which frankly haven't been going well)

2) I use In App Purchases to enable the Pro features.

I'm putting a $100 reward for anyone that can show that Amplify is doing anything "nefarious" like showing ads, tracking your location, or selling information for marketing purposes. Amplify is open source; the version you see on GitHub is the version I build for the releases. Happy hunting ;) (You won't find anything)

Thanks,

Ryan
[Xposed Framework Modules] BTT8:
My traffic cards stopped showing up... Would this be related to Amplify?
[Xposed Framework Modules] cryptyk:
Can you explain how you saw ad libraries? I renamed the apk to .zip, unzipped it, but don't see any ad libraries in there.
[Xposed Framework Modules] CHEF-KOCH:
Okay, but I don't know how to trust a developer that not write this important info in the topic or play store. It's nothing personally but it should be mentioned in the first place, but now you answered my question. Thanks. But seems it's always bettet to look at each app what they including. I'm skeptical ... Yes.

[MENTION=526666]cryptyk[/MENTION]

It's off-topic, pm me if you like to know more. Thanks.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cryptyk:
Amplify is Open Source. You don't have to trust me because you can look at the source code yourself :)

I'll PM you about the ad libraries.

Thanks,

[MENTION=526666]cryptyk[/MENTION] using the pro version, everytime i enable amplify xposed module i get random reboot....
[Xposed Framework Modules] cryptyk:
Sorry that's happening. Can you get a logcat of the reboot happening? I've been tracking these down one by one. I think most of them are gone in the latest 2.0.6, but would love to fix the one you're seeing.

Thanks,

Ryan
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
One more quick OT comment:

Please note that the MinMinGuard module is shown as cancelled by its developer and is no longer supported here on XDA. Even when it was current, it often reported false positives. In this instance, a mere reference to AdMobGms may be triggered when that library happens to be included in one of the many required Google libraries and it doesn't imply that the app uses ads in any way. If you wish to hide ads, try AdAway which will do a much more thorough job (contrary to the misleading info the MinMinGuard thread) and deals with the actual URLs.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Flundran:
Hey guys and girls!

New user here, I've been using this mod on my N5 and have to say it's pretty awesome, efficient and beeeautiful! Figured I'd sign up so I could contribute some. Following I have limited since last couple of days seemingly without any drawbacks.

Alarms: com.google.android.gms/.security.snet.Snetservice

Services: com.facebook.katana/com.facebook.analytics.service.AnalyticsService

com.facebook.orca/com.facebook.analytics.service.AnalyticsService

com.google.android.gms/.auth.be.proximity.authorization.userpresence.UserPresenceService (which was giving me a huge continuos wakelock)

I don't know what they do but everything seems to work fine anyways. I have some ideas and suggestions for dev to contemplate aswell!

1. Add feature to search for alarm/service/wakelock (probably already suggested).

2. Show the count of alarm/service/wakelock per hour, this will give the user an idea how much they're limiting it, not much idea to limit wakelock that only occurs once a day every four minutes was my thought.

3. Add possibility to long press on top of the name of alarm/service/wakelock to copy name to clipboard.

4. Add possibility to scroll the name of wakelock with swipe touch to read fast.

Just my five cents! Anyways thanks for a very impressive mod, it kind of makes the update to lollipop bittersweet since I'mma have to give it up until/if Xposed framework gets ART compatability ://. Peace!
[Xposed Framework Modules] Takamoto:
Good evening at all..some of this are safe to limit?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Vel-San:
Hey,

I am using this only for wakelocks , since a friend of mine told me do not mess up with services and alarms cuz it might break some system things.. Anws what I want to ask about is this : I put everything in wakelocks under " safe to limit " for 300 Seconds .. But I also saw these under " Unknown " and I really don't know which one to Block .. I'd be glad if someone helped with the first ones cuz they have 800+ and 100+ wakelocks :s

Does this affect badly your battery life?
[Xposed Framework Modules] Vel-San:
I don't really know , just wanted to know if anyone faces battery drains bcuz of this wakelock and the ones under it , if so, limiting them affected anything in phone ? Crashes or anything ? To know if it's safe to limit it..
[Xposed Framework Modules] nss357:
Don't touch that ActivityManager. That's what handles every activity in your android. Better yet, don't touch anything unless you have an idea of what it is.

Read this doc, it should give you some ideas :)

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19S0tKF-kfozACgnGIX0gYFBe1K8_R3NBloP4Q1FgpIU/edit?pli=1#gid=2072742181
[Xposed Framework Modules] Woody:
Personally, I think that this is a bad idea if you did it in al one step. I really think that you should Unbounce the NLPlocations wakelocks because they are the most basic functions that cause the most battery drain and Unbouncing them causes the least amount (if any at all) issues. Then I would Unbounce the "Safe" ones 1 by 1 and see if they have any adverse effects on YOU. I capped YOU because your rig won't match mine or [MENTION=2688060]1ceb0x[/MENTION]'s or [MENTION=394893]mistera[/MENTION]c's or [MENTION=5372360]magnamentis[/MENTION]' or [MENTION=526666]cryptyk[/MENTION]'s and what works for each of us, may not inherently work for you.

Yes they are generally safe to Unbounce, but that is in general terms. If you Unbounce 30 different things all at once and your phone doesn't get nofitifications or you have a persistent wakelock that won't let your CPU sleep, how would you know which one of the 30 is the culprit? Generally with something like CPUspy, wakelock detector, BBS and some time, you can test these individual Wakelocks in a few hours or a day or so each.

Also, check the spreadsheet in the OP for more reference to what the Wakelocks, Alarms and Services do and the safety in Unbouncing them.

Edit: Ninja'd by [MENTION=5656837]Reinkaos[/MENTION] with the link to the G.doc
[Xposed Framework Modules] Vel-San:
Thanks for the info !

Will do and I'll try to report it 2moro
[Xposed Framework Modules] CHEF-KOCH:
Well I know about the MinMinGuard thing, I wouldn't say it's dead because the developer got ethical problems with it, the source is still there and I was already able to manage some changes. No I don't like AdAway for several reasons, to much ram usage, battery drain and it not replace ads boxes in game,.. But that's now matter of taste and off-topic.

My intent was to give people the info that this app comes with ads, there was no info given about that fact. Now I got the answer from the dev, I think there should be a discussion about it because the source is open and to get donate's seems okay, but hiding infos not, not everyone is an expert and I like as less ads as possible, for security, performance and other reasons. So my guess is that we may (or only donate users) get an version without anything, and maybe it would be possible to get an binarie downloadable directly via github and/or F-Droid. If anyone like to donate, fine. But imho source project should not bundle ads (imho). I respect the hard work behind it, but as I said everyone can make a donate or not.
[Xposed Framework Modules] cryptyk:
You have the right idea :)

I just need that log that was running during a time when your device rebooted randomly.
[Xposed Framework Modules] picklu:
i tamed only few according to google sheet... even though I miss the eBay notification but gmail / inbox notification are normal. I use Greenify pro version from the beginning and after using Amplify pro version having this issue. Can anyone tell me what to do get the eBay notification!

Tamed wakelocks and alarms are here:
[Xposed Framework Modules] cryptyk:
Man - I don't know how to say this so you'll hear it. Here are a couple of things you're simply wrong about:

1) There are NO ads in Amplify. There are no ads in the free version and no ads in the donate version. Period. None.

Please stop telling people there are ads unless you have something to back it up with. I've offered a reward of $100 for someone who can find ad code in Amplify. It doesn't exist.

2) As Mike B. pointed out, MinMinGuard issues false positives. In this case, the Google In-App Purchase code requires that Amplify includes the Google Play Services library. You can see that in the Amplify source code, here on line 44. When that library is included, MinMinGuard thinks it's AdMob. That's a problem with MinMinGuard and if you're picking up that source code, I would encourage you to fix it. Not every app that includes Google Play Services does so for Ads.

3) If you want a version without the IAP library included, you can go fork the code and build one. That's the beauty of open source - you don't have to tell me what you want the app to do; you can go build it yourself.

4) Lastly, you CAN get the binaries off Github. Or you can get them from the OP. Or you can get them from Xposed Repo. Or you can build them yourself. Or you can get them from the Play Store. Or you can download them from pirate sites on the web (though I don't recommend that because they usually bundle adware in the apk).

Sorry to be a bit harsh, but please do a bit of research before you come in here making accusations.

Thanks,

Ryan
[Xposed Framework Modules] Mike B.:
Oh how often we wish we could tell an insistent member to go fork (it) himself! :D

At least it's a nice break from the countless "which wakelocks should I unbounce?" questions

Sorry, I couldn't resist! ;)
[Xposed Framework Modules] cAase:
Been hanging here for a couple of years just observing without commenting much. But I must say I've never seen such a helpful and nice developer as [MENTION=526666]cryptyk[/MENTION]. The app works fantastic btw.

I'm also impressed by the social engagement from him. Really great!

[Xposed Framework Modules] Pkt_Lnt:
Wow, that is ugly. Implying that the dev is not telling the truth about ads and calling him out in public, in his own thread.

I'd find the proof and get that $100 reward or crawl in a hole, disappear, and stop spreading your own paranoid untruths. Your credibility is in question here now.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Zordak7:
Ok, I've made some corrections in the spanish translation, are they saved automatically?

Saludos!
[Xposed Framework Modules] CHEF-KOCH:
1) The paid versions do not need iap or any google libs if it would come as an seperat "paid" app. Please stop lying, there is the google api which provide ads ability, for me this is a part of ads. I asked that we may become an paid only vetsion without anything, naked.

2) MinMinGuard does not generate false positives, it's not an av. It shows only which libs are provided. So there is nothing wrong with it. I agree not all is evil but without proof it's difficult to say because market version can be different if there is only one version for all, that's why iap isn't good.

3) Nobody said other things.

4) Now you said twice that I/we can compile it myselfe/ourselves, also nothing wrong with it, but the binarie provided from github isn't unlocked, so again the hashes are diffetent.

It's easy to say there is no communication to ads server if we can't prove against the binaries. I give up now, it's no reason to be rude here or saying I should do some research even I starred and watched this project as one of the first. You don't want it? Okay, I understand but be friendly, there is a ad lib, no matter if minminguard detect it, I don't know if the provided binaries are the same and you say I should blindly trust it.

I do this now myself if anyone like an version without anything, pm me and I send the source and compiled binarie. Anyway thanks for the time.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Celestial Fury:
There is no lying as he is referring to the only one version that comes with this Google Play Services library that is apparently required to be included by Google as part of Google's In-App Purchase code. There is no donate version but only in-app purchase to unlock functionality in the only one version. Creating a new paid version when there is already an in-app purchase system in place and already in use creates fragmentation of procedures, unnecessary work, and lots of future queries.
[Xposed Framework Modules] CHEF-KOCH:
Yes, it's only there if the app supports iap feature, that's the reason I asked for a paid only version. I agree it's unnessary work, better would to accept bitcoins, paypal and code only one version without everything. Or if he really want's Play Store there are several open api implementations to not use google ones the benefit would also be that there could be an mirror on F-Droid (since F-Droid don't like the google crap api's).

But seems you get me wrong, I not wanted to blame anyone, just informed people and asked for exactly (same hash as from the code) mirror on maybe non google sites. But okay, as I said I give up on it, the answer was more or less no.

[Xposed Framework Modules] 1ceb0x:
There is a friggin big difference between having some code to enable in app purchases (which is spotted as Ads by another app) and having ADS in this module in the first place. [MENTION=4415879]CHEF-KOCH[/MENTION] did you ever encountered ads in pro or free version of this module? I haven't. And i was one of the very first users to try it out. Please stop with this paranoia. You want MinMinGuard to not recognize the app as having ads? Build one yourself without the IAP source code from Google. If you are so paranoia about it, might as well stop using this app and let us discover these "ads" by ourselves.
[Xposed Framework Modules] tangcla:
Question - not sure if I've done something in Amplify or whether Facebook made a change - but when I read messages in Facebook Messenger, they don't show as being read when I view it in Facebook on a computer.

Has anyone else experienced something similar?
[Xposed Framework Modules] CHEF-KOCH:
You speaking about visible ads, I speak about the api (which I hate). To answer, there are no boxes or other visible ads, correct. But that doesn't have to do that iap may could be a security problem, generate more traffic which could also reduce the battery. It's not paranoia, just ask yourself why an open source project not use alternatives?! I edited my post to give one example for lazy people. As I said I remove it myself now and everyone can ask me for a mirror, I not publish or fork it, because I respect the original work. My last post here, thanks anyway.
[Xposed Framework Modules] Celestial Fury:
That just means FB on your mobile and computer have yet to sync (is autosync for FB on?). If you've limited an alarm or wakelock related to syncing then, yes - they will differ.
