Amplify, Xposed Module to Block Wakelocks/Alarms and Save Battery, Updated for Nougat
Amplify, an Xposed module for blocking wakelocks/alarms to save battery, has received a version bump to 4.0.0, adding Android Nougat and SELinux support.
Before Android 7.0 Nougat was launched, one of the most popular modules for the Xposed Framework was Amplify. Amplify, to put it short, is an Xposed Module which allows users to take full control of wakelocks and alarms on your Android device. Since it's able to control some of the worst system wakelocks, like NlpWakelock and NlpCollectorWakeLock, Amplify has been shown to significantly improve battery life. It, along with GravityBox, was one of the most sorely missed features when users upgraded to Android Nougat and left behind Xposed. Now that the Xposed Framework has been updated with full Android Nougat (7.0/7.1) support, though, Amplify has now followed suit and is compatible with the latest version of Xposed.
Stop Wakelocks with WakeBlock for Android - Amplify Replacement for Rooted Users
WakeBlock for Android helps stop wakelocks on your rooted device to help improve both performance and battery life from badly behaving apps!
Those of you missing Xposed on Nougat (though if you're desperate, I guess there is a kind of working port) may specifically miss the module called Amplify. I purchased the donation version about two years ago, but that wasn't enough to entice me to stay on Marshmallow. Still, I miss it. Amplify let me restrict some annoying wakelocks on my phone. For those of you not too familiar, a wakelock is a process which wakes your phone when the screen is off. This is normally pretty good, as it allows you to receive texts, listen to music, and so on. Apps can (and do frequently) abuse it, though, so Amplify was a popular way to limit what apps could hold wakelocks - improving both performance and battery life.
