Servicely for your apps and services

[franciscofranco]

Remember that time when your device lost 50% of battery life during the night because a gazillion services from careless apps kept keeping your device awake and you have no way to disable them?

Or when Facebook kept waking up your phone for no reason and you find no way to fix it other than uninstalling it?

Servicely to the rescue!

First of all make sure you're ROOTED (it won't work otherwise). You'll be able to select which apps will be put to sleep when the display goes off. Just like magic!

You can also disable/enable permanently any service on your device. It's useful if you have services that tend to auto-restart and keep your device awake, or if you have games sending you never-ending notifications.

This app is somewhat powerful so act responsibly when using it. I'm more than happy to help if you contact me

The apk in the Play Store is free with ads, but I've disabled the ads for the apk below. You can still purchase the key from inside the app which helps me keep producing stuff for you, but you don't have to do so.

You can choose between two "sleep" modes. The soft mode I assume it's probably similar to what Greenify does. The hard mode completely disables the apps you've choosed during screen off, and re-enabled during screen on. This mode removes any shortcuts or widgets from those disabled apps, but this is the most secure way to guarantee those apps won't wake up or do something crazy. That said, you'll be fine with the soft mode.

Looks promising. Might replace greenify this little gem, thank you??

Enabled pro and start on boot but after closing the app an open it again, it shows this.

 

[nldxda]

Should greenify be disabled/uninstlled before using servicely??

 

[wietse1988]

Really like this app! This is like the perfect version of greenify. And probably with more features to come. I was just wondering, is it save to add google play services to list? Or wil I loose allot of functionality with the apps that rely on google play services?

Will this also stop notifications from the app when you have it disabled? Like fb, instagram, xda and twitter?

@franciscofranco

Another possible improvement for your new app:
- With the pro Version there is the option to start the service automatically with the boot. If you boot the device there is no information like "set on boot service has been..." Dont know if you need this message on the boot like in FKU for you new app, but maybe you could make it as an option

and: if you close the app from the task manager, you see the normal action: app is restarting. After the restart the settings/killing apps applies again?


i instantly bought the pro version, before even using it

And if you add a new app to the service, it will be killed after 60 secs? or is first a reboot needed?

And if you kill an app like google keep, can the changes still be synced?

Sorry for the large amount of quetions, i´ve never used apps like this

 

[snapdesign]

wow... really like this... thanks franco

just a request for someone who knows... we can get a list with safe services to kill?

Yeah... does this have the background sync feature which I believe Greenify has??

 

[Aditya Srinidhi]

Gonna try this for a while and replace greenify if it's better
Thanks

So if a service is idle, let's kill it every minute. The service restarts - which would come with a CPU/memory expense greater than if it had remained idle - and repeat this every minute?
This doesn't seem like an informed decision. It could just be a checkbox in an application's settings that would alleviate the service from repeating.
I don't see why you don't educate people on looking at application's checkboxes.

@franciscofranco I'm a fan of your work and this app looks beautiful. However, I have a pretty stupid question. How is this different from a task killer and automated killing? I thought those were bad, but is this different?

 

[deadzombieseverywhere]

Turned it off for Google play music, google keyboard, Google play services, lmt. I ran into issues with app fc here.

turned it on for google play services and no issues so far.

Yeah... does this have the background sync feature which I believe Greenify has??

no if an app is selected, it has nor background sync - tested it with telegram (btw with greenify donation it doesn´t work too...)

will test Servicely for a while and report back. If it does a well job, then goodbye Greenify

 

[mmikeee]

This app keeps closing apps that I'm using. I thought it only closes if the app is in the background? For example, I'm watching a YouTube video and it just closes.

 

[JoeFCaputo113]

Umm, this is essentially a task killer....

 

[dcop7]

I don't understand the difference from a task killer. Task killers drain more battery. If it kills a service, it autorestarts, right? Or it is like greenify, keeps the service from starting?

I've tried this with whatsapp and didn't work. I know that is not suppose to kill services in the background, but what does it is suppose to kill? If it is not in the foreground, it is in the background... For an intense, having facebook installed, there is always a background service, this will never kill it, right?

It would be great if if would work better thank greenify, and stopping services from getting started.

Great work Franco! Testing now

I have Greenify, not sure if I'll use this... but purchased paid pro version to support Franco and his awesome Kernel (and other dev projects).
