Easy import DS-backup.txt for use with the app Disable Services

[Nexus 6  General] olegausa:
Are location services working with this DS-backup?
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
Stop being lazy and go through the damn list yourself so you can disable services yourself.
[Nexus 6  General] GregNexus:
If i restore the txt file in disable service, nothing happens:confused:

How do i restore it, that play services will get unchecked boxes?

And why i see less services than with 3C Toolbox?
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
The DS-backup.txt can't be used to switch services ON. Restore will only switch off the services that are written in the backup.

To switch services on you need to do it manually. In DS app look for the red numbers.

3C toolbox has the option to show all the services. DS has two tabs Third party and System.
[Nexus 6  General] GregNexus:
Yeah, with unchecked i mean turn off:p but even after i restore a txt that has been posted here, the services wont turn off...

Yes, so 3C Toolbox is better, because i can disable more regarding one service?
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
Yes, I have started with 3C Toolbox.

But DS has the charm of simplicity and this app has a backup/restore option.

With DS I made several backups, by renaming the standard name of the backup-file.

For example I compared the backup of Starcms with my own backup to see the differences.

EDIT

An option -> enable all services would be nice.
[Nexus 6  General] Nickchapstick:
I've read several pages and haven't found an answer but... Have you seen any noticeable batter savings?
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
big improvement. for example, i get 5-6 hrs SOT and close to 4 days of standby.
[Nexus 6  General] Nickchapstick:
That's really awesome that you have improved your battery life this way. Are you on the stock rom?
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
Yes, but I also use greenify and disabled a bunch of google apps.
[Nexus 6  General] Nickchapstick:
I assumed that much. Greenify helps a lot if you can use it correctly.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
Yes it does
[Nexus 6  General] cornelito:
Can u please share list of the apps you have greenified ? Do you use Greenify with Xposed module or stand alone?
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
no xposed. this thread is specifically for "google play services" so i will not continue conversation about greenify. but ill tell you this, i greenified everything non-essential. you can use google to figure out what is and what is not.
[Nexus 6  General] nick_white:
There is a service that after I disable, after a couple o minutes (I don't know what triggers it), it's back on again, and running.

It's ProxyGTalkService from Google Play Services.

Anyone else noticed this (and possibly a solution)?
[Nexus 6  General] rafael667:
I've disabled some things in the google play services and sometimes i have the wifi icon grey (i have internet but i don't get notifications from the apps).

i don't know which service is interfering with that. it's random grey/blue.

Hmm something that is used here has broken location for me as Google Maps and my favourite app CityMapper fails to find my location anymore.

Has anyone any suggestions? High Google services drain has been annoying me and I love the idea of stopping so many, but CityMapper is crucial to me!

I tried using Catlog to establish what the errors were and enabled an couple of services it stated it failed to find. Initially upon loading the app GPS wouldn't even start however I managed to get that fixed, but it still does not find my location....

Edit: I went through and managed to locate (no pun intended.... ;) ) the services which was preventing location being found:

com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.location.internal.GoogleLocationManagerService

com.google.android.gms/com.google.android.location.internal.server.GoogleLocationService

So just as an overview the Backup text used works great for me but in order for CityMapper and Maps to work I needed to re-enable the above services.

Now I'm curious to see the battery improvements!

Many thanks all, great thread :)
[Nexus 6  General] tatootie67:
Guys, fyi, 7.5.66 has been out for a few days and it has solved all my issues. I'm not even having to disable anything anymore
[Nexus 6  General] cd993:
Ahh this is annoying me now.

I do all the disabling with the Backup text using DisableService, charge to 100% and leave it be for an and half or so to discover that Google services have drained 7% of my battery, in such a short time being idle even with 116 services disabled!?

A ) I have just flashed latest Zero Gapps which has Google services 7.5.68 so let's see if this helps

B ) is it crucial that I use 3C Toolbox to disable the other things like activities too, if so can someone please advise how to as as silly as this may seem I couldn't locate how to disable services etc with that app
[Nexus 6  General] cd993:
Hmm seems the following thing is going crazy since disabling *sync*/com.google.android.gms.kids.common.sync/

I've just re-enabled the "kids" services, not sure if that was in the Backup text or if I did that additionally. I'll keep you all posted.

Edit: OK so following me installing Disable Service on my girlfriends Samsung S5 and checking to see if I had then caused battery drain on hers, I saw that Google Services weren't even present in the battery history. I haven't updated hers in a while and so I decided to use the gapps (Slim_zero_gapps.BETA.5.1.x.build.0.x-20150425) that is installed and to my relief I no longer have any Google Services battery drain.

A classic example of how the latest isn't always the greatest.

I hope my experience helps out someone if needed.

Ok i see that many people don't know what to disable-reenable..

Simply download and install ''greenify pro'', and put google play into hibernation, check box: ''wake-up tracker & cut off'' , when you start some game or app that need ''google play service'', you should see full path and receiver(with name), this is what wake up your 'gogle play service' , so you can now cut off path(receiver), in that way, you should know what receiver is disabled, and what app is affected by that..

Now , if you want to reenable receiver again, you can do that with one click, or one by one receiver, or all receivers at once..

What i do: i put google play into hibernation, start some game, and then i check what receiver wake up 'google play service', then i ''cut off that path'' .. then i run another app (one by one), do the same..

When i finished: google play store' works, apps works, but i don't have ''google play service'' in background, except for some app - i leave receiver for some like 'google maps'..

ABOUT RAM: i didn't see any improvment on my system(512mb ram), by doing this.. So i suggest that people should leave ''google play service'' alone, unless they have realy huge problem with that app...

[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
With the way things are being bundled together with google lately soon you wont be able to disable any of their services without it messing with the whole system.

Not to mention doing this on a n6 is really kinda useless as the battery lasts a full day with a good amount of use.
[Nexus 6  General] nick_white:
Right, but, as with services, you have to be careful which ones you disable.

I would say it's more important to disable broadcast receivers because they're the ones (among other things) that start the services. For example, when you turn bluetooth on, a wearable receiver is fired that starts a service that looks for wearable devices. If you disable that receiver, even though the service is not disabled, it will not do any "harm" (except, of course, if there is another path from where it starts).

Even so, there is still hope for disabling specialized things like wearables, fitness, cast, games etc.

Due to the async nature of Android, as long as the components are separated and well named, and there isn't sloppy async programming (like waiting in loops etc.), we should still be able to identify and disable what we don't use.
[Nexus 6  General] dansupertramp:
I've read all posts in this thread and, since nobody answered some questions, here we go: I use WhatsApp and Cerberus, and both apps weren't working very well after disabling all those Google Play Services, but I've found a fix:

To reenable connectivity in Cerberus: Don't disable gcm.GcmService

To reenable push notifications in WhatsApp: Don't disable common.stats.GmsCoreStatsService (apparently it also reenables subscribedfeeds.SyncService as well)

Now my phone is working like a charm. Sometimes it keeps the RAM usage as low as 310 Mb.
[Nexus 6  General] zelendel:
Dont worry about ram usage. Un-used ram is wasted in Android.

I know, but the most important fact is that the apps are working well again
[Nexus 6  General] nilanko:
I have gone through a few posts and have noticed that people are shouting everywhere that this broke, that broke. So it's not safe to follow the guide, right?
[Nexus 6  General] NLBeev:
You can use the app Disable Services and give it a Try.

You may disable at first the services you don't use. Like wearables, game etc..
[Nexus 6  General] nick_white:
As a simplistic answer, no, it's not really safe.

There is no way to have a one-size-fits-all guide because everybody uses different apps, which use different services. It's mostly trial & error with a good deal of educated guessing.

The fact that they (apps & services) are frequently updated makes it even more harder.

there's no way sofascore is working with these services disabled,

i.e. 1) it's impossible to login (in order to keep your data synced across devices),

but I managed to fix that after narrowing, I found that SignInService, SignInBrokerService, CredentialsManager and another one,

Credentials something, I don't remember, should be enabled

but

2) the one I couldn't fix was getting notifications from it,

I even tried a set each time and rebooting, but didn't work,

only resetting google play services to it's previous state worked!

However, I think I'm getting more battery drain now,

but it seems so difficult and hard to troubleshoot issues with disabled google play services,

so I guess I'll leave it alone, except if someone is available to help

I started going through the list posted above, disabling these services.

Almost immediately I started getting gapps crashes. Every 15-20 seconds, a pop up would state gapps has stopped responding.

Also, opening the Google Music app, I would get a notification saying "Google Play Services is not compatible with your device".

Rebooting did not help.

Started to re-enable all the services again. But even after rebooting once all services were re-enabled, I would still get the same crashes and Play Services errors.

Ended up having to reflash everything.
[Nexus 6  General] Peylix:
And this is why you do not mess with these services.

Warnings were issued earlier.
[Nexus 6  General] stas333:
should have tried enabling all services, rebooting, going into all apps and clearing data for the google play services. maybe even uninstalling all updates before reflashing the device. When i disable service and it gives me errors, it is solved by re enabling them again.

messing with those can cause issues, but if one follows the list above and has some common sense, then there wont be problems. For example, if one plays games on their phone and backs them up to google play, then maybe it is not a good idea to disable game services.
