A useful function of PrivacyGuard of CyanogenMod is the ability to block applications that awaken our phone or actions that require costly in terms of battery as the location.
In fact it will be curious (and you will see it yourself) such as facebook has awakened a really huge number of times your phone (for me 826 times to be exact)
- For start go on "Settings" and then "Privacy".
-Once entered, click on the 3 dots vertical and then "Advanced".

- Click on applications that do not interest you and put on "denied" to "Keep awake," "Awaken", "Auto Start" position and if you do not need.
Just keep in mind that disabling these features has the potential to cause problems on the device, especially if you do it to the wrong apps.

Oh really? Can I use this instead of greenify?
In my opinion is even better
Thanks for INFO
Thank you Sir, definitely gonna try that out
For an even better experience, use Xposed and the module Xprivacy. Is actually the better version of this function in cm11.
Though I don't think this is exactly the same as Greenify, cause Greenify hibernates apps and I thought the dev said that's not exactly the same, but not sure.
I'm curios about that, if there is a difference. Also, there are so many apps that use location that i would of thought otherwise. Clock, gallery and contacts for example. Does anybody adjust this large amount of apps?

I only adjust the ones that I installed from playstore (Facebook, Twitter, etc). But I don't have the option, "Denied", only "Ignore". It's normal?

I am on stock cm11s 05Q and can't get this working.
Here's what I did...
I enabled shield next to google play service.
I long pressed and found automatically:
- read contact: always ask
- read calls always ask
- read calendar: always ask
- read sms: always ask
I set all the above manually to off plus:
- wake up: deny
- keep awake: deny
I went back and found the shield icon off

No, i find it a pain to set everything after installs.
Like set everything to not start at boot, run in background etc etc.
Imagine toggling everything for 60-100 apps that too after long pressing>Change toggles >Hit back and repeat.

So I got a text from T-Mobile telling me that I went over my 2GB Data limit for the month. I was really confused because I barely even use 1GB in a whole month. I checked my settings and I saw what I have posted in the pictures. What can I do to stop this? Anyone ever had this happen to them? Any help will be appreciated!

If you have a custom recovery, try yourzgapps.
I think you should have a look at your google+ backup options... It's probably backing up all your pictures.

google + settings, make sure your picture backup is set to wifi only.. each time you flash a new rom check that to ensure it's not hogging your data
To fix the google service data feast without losing battery life or connection to the servers do the following:
1) Download autorun manager.
2) Open it and picked advanced(recommended).
3) In setting check show system entries.
4) Go back to the main screen and on the left top corner pick system apps.
5) find google service framework and expands it.
6) find systemUpdateService$Receiver and uncheck it (should be the last one).
7) You can also uncheck systemUpdateService$SecretCode just in case( I got it disabled).
I check my Google+ settings and everything was checked off. I'm going to download autorun manager and try that. Thanks!

I will provide some method to save battery life to an extent
This method is suitable for most of device running Android 4.0.3 or above
Basic Requirements
Xposed Framework
Amplify
Ad Away
Root.Click to read how to rooo your zenfone 2 http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/general/root-zenfone-2-t3142597/post61523207#post61523207
Greenify
Basic things you must notice before starting
Display
Brightness of your phone is a major factor for the draining of tje battery. The more the Display Brightness is the more the battery used. So i suggest you to switch from auto brightness to manual.
Wifi
Even though the wifi is not in use, your phone searches for available wifi networks available.
You can Switch of this feature by going to Wifi>Options(on the top right corner of your phone)>Advanced>Scanning always available(off).
Location
Turn off the Location Service when not in use.You can also set the location to 'Device Only" in settings.
Thses are the basic things for battery saving.
GREENIFY
For using this you need Xposed .
Download:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Once you have the donation package of greenify with you ,you need to activate the Greenify Xposed Module in Xposed. Then enable boost mode and experimental Features.

Thanks for the effort!
I can't seem to find some of the Amplify items.
I'm guessing that they're app-specific though (ie. the .facebook alarms are only because you have the Facebook app installed)?
And I can't find any of the services in order to disable them, do you know what app they're affiliated with?

Ok, I just received the N910FXXU1COJ3 OTA on my DBT N-910F with all the security updates. Great, but I did notice that the conveniet app manager feature that killed background processes inside Smart Manager is now gone and from the looks of things, there is a new "alternative" ambiguously called App optimization, within the battery section.
Now I for one am getting pretty tired of this inconsistency and constant feature swapping and come here seeking information. Can anyone actually clear things up for me and explain what exactly App optimization means. Will it simply kill the apps background services and if so, why is the minimum timeout 3 days? I also heard that it is more like a disable fuature for the selected apps, meaning no activity whatsoever, like notifications.
Is there any way that i can make use of the convenient "garbage collection" that Smart Manager used to offer, or am I hopelessly stuck dealing with Samsung`s ADD?
Thanks, any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Ok. I have a call recorder. It just happens to stop working after awhile. I went to app optimazation and disabled it. Does that mean now that my Call Recorder app doesn't apply to these rules and should never shut off or stop working if I disabled it for that app. It's so annoying because all of sudden your looking and your call isn't being recorded. I have to open the app...then it works again. Am I using the app optimazation option improperly?
When I bought the pro version; a message appeared explaining to disable app optimazation for the app so it continuously works. Is this right? And I'm just dealing with an app problem or I'm I not using this feature properly. I want my call recorder to always be working. [email protected]

App Optimization is Doze mode, that simple
You have to disable App Optimization for apps that should always run in background or be accessible without opening the app itself like Tesla Unread, Torchie, some reminder apps an some e-mail apps. In my expirience if an app is being optimized it will not show any notifications and such until "acitivized" by opening the app itself.

Apps that I don't need running in background and have used more battery than I think they should when in background are set to "Always power saving". Exaples: 9GAG. Previously I used Greenify for these apps.
Apps that need to stay active at all times are set to "Disable for". Examples: Reminders, Tesla Unread.
Most of other apps are set to "Automatically optimising".

I am checking my claims(on my own phone lol)
Noice I did feel it being faster
got one ui 2.1 update in Pakistan...fingerprint feels hella fast than before....firmware is off course availabile on sam mobile...try it out...definitely u ll feel difference in fingerprint
What i did:
i recorded one finger a bit over 50%, then i use the same finger of the other hand to fill it up to 100%.
This procedure i repeated twice for another two fingers.
It doesn´t make it that faster, but it´s much more comfortable, because i can use 6 instead of 3 fingers.
The problem is that 8 out of 10 times it says "no match".
