I believe with Greenify you can hibernate apps while the screen is on (aka phone is in use), but Power Nap only "hibernates" when the screen is off. So depending on what you use it for, you can either get rid of Greenify or keep it. But even if you use it alongside each other, it shouldn't have any ill effects.

Greenify Hibernates when the screen is off as well. I just want to clarify before I try and I am sure others will ask as well.

Yeah, I'll update my comment to clarify.

Some modules do work over 5.1 with the Xposed SUPER ALPHA, does this one works? if someone tried, plz share with us :good:

I don't see why it wouldn't, but it'd be nice if someone could let me know as well! The methods for power napping apps should still be the same.

Which leads into the next question, can this be safely used alongside Greenify or is it redundant?
when i was on stock sony jb rom i used both stamina mode+greenify ... you have to add greenify to the withelist of stamina mode, otherwise greenify stop working during screen off...
imho stamina mode+greenify it's a great combo

Yes, I've actually had both installed at the same time, although what Greenify does during screen-off is redundant with Power Nap.
i don't think greenify (paid version) it's redundant because actually with greenify i can hibernate apps like whatsapp or gmail without loosing any notification... i think your module (if it works like stamina) can dinamically close/open traffic per specific (whitelisted) apps during screen off even if they are hibernated with greenify...

Yes, that's true about hibernating apps without losing notifications. I'm not sure how Greenify does it, but Power Nap doesn't have the capability to do something like that at the moment. I see an area here where Power Nap and Greenify would conflict - you probably wouldn't get the notification at all until you turn the screen back on.

maybe you have to add to whitelist greenify and every apps you want notifications in your module (as i remember also google play service sync tasks... because notifications use gcm push notification service)

I've tried on 5.1 (CM12.1), it gave me bootloops. Phone is booting up to Starting apps screen but reboots itself.

Darn, that's a shame. I'm surprised since it works on 5.0.2's Xposed, but perhaps something wasn't fully implemented yet. Hopefully it'll work in the future, and if it still doesn't work by the time an official version of Xposed comes out, I'll take a closer look at the problem.

There's also a not-so-super-alpha Xposed for 5.0.2 that works quite well.

That's actually what I'm using right now on my CM12 rom :)

Hmmm... so I wonder what will happen if I'll install it alongside with Greenify...
Or shouldn't I?

Actually, if you do what the quote above says, it might actually work :D Give it a try! I'm hopeful because what he says makes complete sense to me. You just have to make sure to whitelist the app you want notifications from in Power Nap as well.

I was going to say maybe making the tester request auto-approve would be easier, but I already got accepted, so I guess you're on that sh*t :D

Haha, I kind of wish I could now, but I can't make a private community un-private so that approval isn't needed :(

    Introduction

    As the owner of an Xperia Z3, I found myself missing Stamina Mode after flashing a CM12 ROM. None of the battery apps in the Play Store worked the same way - most of the ones I found merely disabled Wi-Fi/data while the screen was off, along with managing auto-sync, but I still wanted whitelisted apps to be able to access the internet.

    I spent a good 12 hours straight working to replicate the basic features of Stamina Mode, and now here we are: Power Nap for Xposed!

    Description

    Compatible with any Android device running 4.1+, with root and Xposed.

    Power Nap for Xposed is the best app for saving battery. When your screen is off, Power Nap maximizes your device's deep sleep time by stopping services, alarms and wakelocks from waking the device when the screen is off. This means you can leave Wi-Fi/data on and still get the notifications from apps you have whitelisted, while all others are unable to wake up your device, leading to an increase in your battery life.

    Power Nap for Xposed also has a Low Battery Mode, where you can selectively functions to save power when battery level is low.

    Power Nap for Xposed is inspired by Sony's Stamina Mode, but accessible for all Android devices 4.1 and higher. This app requires root and Xposed.

    Be sure to whitelist any third-party alarm clock app you are using, or it will be prevented from waking up your device!

    Permissions

    android.permission.INTERNET: this is for Crashlytics only, which will automatically send me stack trace logs if the app crashes due to something non-Xposed related. No other information is being sent.
    android.permission.WRITE_SETTINGS: For Low Battery Mode, to change screen brightness and screen display timeout
    android.permission.READ_SYNC_SETTINGS: For Low Battery Mode, to check if auto-sync is on/off
    android.permission.WRITE_SYNC_SETTINGS: For Low Battery Mode, to turn on/off auto-sync
    android.permission.ACCESS_WIFI_STATE: For Low Battery Mode, to check if Wi-Fi is on/off
    android.permission.CHANGE_WIFI_STATE: For Low Battery Mode, to turn on/off Wi-Fi
    android.permission.ACCESS_NETWORK_STATE: For Low Battery Mode, to check if mobile data is on/off
    android.permission.BLUETOOTH: For Low Battery Mode, to check if Bluetooth is on/off
    android.permission.BLUETOOTH_ADMIN: For Low Battery Mode, to turn on/off Bluetooth
    android.permission.RECEIVE_BOOT_COMPLETED: For Low Battery Mode, to start a service that monitors the current battery level (if LBM is enabled), when the device is finished booting

    Installation Instructions

    To get the app, you can either opt-in for testing on Google Play (and/or join the G+ Alpha testing community if you're interested in helping out by reporting bugs and sharing your experiences), or simply download it directly from the Xposed Module Repository. You may need to change "Versions to be shown" to "Experimental" in the Xposed Installer's Settings to be able to download it using the app.

    The latest APK version is also attached to the "Download" tab of this thread, but you will not receive updates using this method.

    Final Thoughts

    By using Power Nap, you can expect to see as little as 0.2% battery drain per hour (if you don't have many apps whitelisted) during standby. Results may vary by device and depending on which apps have been whitelisted.

    Since it's in Alpha mode, please feel free to leave feedback and report bugs. If you need any clarifications on any aspect of the app, please leave a comment!

    Good news, I've discovered the cause of the bootloop issue and fixed it. Funnily enough, I never ran into the problem because it seems to affect < 6.0 devices only. The fix will be available in the next update, once I sort out a bug with statistics not displaying for some people (again).
