[GUIDE] Stop Google Play Services Wakelocks (AppMeasurement, net_scheduler, etc.)

[dead0]

this is my final init.d script for play services v14.3.66. ive only been testing it on havoc os pie but should work the same on oreo & nougat builds. the apps section can be deleted if not required along with a reduction in the delay if you wish

First of all I have to say thank you for publishing your disable script. Let me telling you some thoughts to it. I think it should be put into init d or service.d folder and runs every time system is booting. To avoid that Google overrules your settings you put a delay of 5 minutes before disabling the components. That means that the full completion of boot process in all run levels is also delayed. I am not a friend of such a technologies. I think it is better to put the process in the background (sh -nohup ..).
Second point. There are round about 500 components you want to disable every reboot. But for the most of it, it is sufficient to disable it once. Only single components will enabled again by Google.
Third point. Your script, of cause, has to adopted for each need. For example not everybody has fb installed. I have made a control script to check which components are still enabled or not existing (related to play services v14.3.66), i will it append below. Approx. 10% are effected. My be you have a short look to it. I guess there are also careless mistakes like pm enable instead of pm disable.

Nevertheless a great thank for a very good approach.

thanks for that. ive made some edits and will reupload. ive been using this script for a good few years and editing when necessary so some lines will be for older versions. ive kept one activity as enabled due to for some unknown reasons, the google account setting option not showing if not enabled. the delay is there more for my personal use as i include the init.d script as part of my rom install so it gives me time to set up my google account as sometimes if the delay is too less, playstore will sometimes show device as not certified. the delay along with the additional apps can be removed by the user.

Any downsides on using this? Btw, thank you very much

Other than not required on most devices with a current Play Services build and likely to cause side-effects such as missed notifications, high CPU use on wake and a few other gems ... none whatsoever.

How to use this? Just copy and paste to init.d?

I got problem with safety net cause this, can u rebuild and dont touch related safety net?

There are different possibilities to run the script.

Dead0 solution is able to run in the init.d folder:
#!/system/bin/sh
sleep 120 <---------
################################
# Google Play Services v14.3.66
#

That is not my solution. I let the app Tasker do the job. It starts 5 minutes after systemstart.
But equal which solution you prefer, you have to adapt the script to your personal needs, depending on your system (apps) and the installed Google playservices version. Then you have to differentiate between services, broadcast receiver which where enabled again by Google after system starts. All other you can run once.
In my opinion it is very dangerous to disable such a great amount of services and broadcast receiver. You will run into problems long time after you had run the script, for example when Google force an update of their playservices. In the OP are mentioned these services and broadcast receiver, which could be disabled without greater side effects. For me it works with the names:
Measurement
Analytics
Campaign
Wearable
Fit
proximity
kids
Reporting
Reporter
Systemupdate

With no guarantee.
Good luck.

Google is your friend (in this case). You find the app in alternative app stores (for example aptoide).

I was thinking of the same, in the script there are too many services disabled. By the way do you still recommend to use myandroidtools app?

What about firebase? I miss it on your list For me Myandroidtools pro is working very well. Some guys are also using SD maid pro. This tool is specialised for boot complete receiver. In the settings dialogue you can change a filter list, so that all services and broadcastreceiver can be disabled. But I have no experience with this app. I think it's a good alternative if you have already installed SD maid.
And the primary function of SD maid (system- and appcleaning) is absolute great.
You mentioned firebase services and broadcast receiver. In my opinion this depends on each app. Some apps have to gather informations from there firebase platform. So they will not work, if you disable the related service or broadcast receiver. You have to play with it.

Is it harmful to disable all receiver's in SD maid?
Actually i wanna disable all of it including"find device" because of GMS Doze i have to disable it after every reboot.
I did disabled every location receiver in SD maid.

I'm not able to say whether it is harmful or harmless. It depends on your device and on your apps. For example in my calendar app I'm not able to disable the location related services, because to each calendar date, you are able to define a location and this was validated by the location service. Maybe you have other apps and it's absolutely no problem for you, but you have to check this on your device. My advice is to make a backup, either Nandroid or myAndroidtools is also able to backup Services, Broadcast Receiver
Activities and Content Provider. If you run in troubles, you can restore the old settings again.

Good luck

Hm, MyAndroidTools isn't available on the Play Store anymore. Does anyone know a reason for this?
