I'd check out Greenify, it has root and nonroot modes. I've found it to greatly increase my deep sleep when used religiously even without root
But isn't Greenify outdated or they still update it?
Another thing I'm thinking: I'm interested in running some adb shell command every few minutes or hours to change the WhatsApp standby bucket from active to working_set that seems to reduce a lot of wakelocks.
Currently my standby (after tweaking for days) is not that bad. Like 0.4% per hour at night using wifi when I go to sleep.
WhatsApp despite of the restrictions I added is still the app with most partial wakelocks.
Looks like it hasn't had updates since 2019, but if it ain't broke why fix it?
Yeah I agree with that.
But generally apps that do something more advanced get outdated every year with new android versions with different permissions and API. This is why I was asking.
But I guess this app has nothing that got impacted.
