[Q] best app for saving battery (root & non root)

Best app for saving battery is greenify so far

Is Xposed working?

Has anybody tried installing the Xposed module? There's a few modules I would like to use, like Greenify, but was wondering if it is safe to install.
What is the advantage to greenify on a non-battery operated device? If you're worried about power consumption, just limit the # of background processes via the developer menu.
There's apps running in the background that I rarely use, so I don't want them running all the time. I also use youtube adaway to get rid of the ads, App Settings to set the DPI of certain apps.

Nexus 6P Utility Apps?

I just received my Nexus 6P and absolutely love it.
I am wondering if any of you have had good experiences with any utility/tool apps for this device. Apps such as Greenify, CM Cleaner, etc. are a couple I've heard of and was curious if these are helpful or not.
Thanks!
I don't use any utility apps so my response is probably not what you're looking for. There's not really a need for Greenify anymore since Marshmallow introduced Doze unless you want Aggressive Doze mode found in Greenify -- which is again unnecessary if you're using Android N Developer Preview which features an aggressive Doze mode.
Not sure too much on CM Cleaner, but if I had to use one I'd probably use CCleaner since I use it frequently on the PC and it works really well. If you choose to not use a cleaner, someone on here or Reddit reported clearing your cache every-so-often from Settings > Storage & USB > Cached data is useful and may even improve battery life.
Synapse - for use with AK kernel.
Naptime and Servicely by Franco are both nice apps.
Recently by chainfire helps keep recent apps section from being over crowded and adds some extra features.
Then you have the more common stuff you likely already use like "better battery stats", "adaway", " afwall+",.... Not sure about greenify on Marshmallow, I believe the Doze feature built into android does something similar to all apps, but do not quote me on that as I don't really know how how they work, just greenify put apps to sleep and then google calls it doze which is just another word for sleep.
+1 to the not necessary argument.
Get viper4android to improve your audio. Ex Kernel Manager is also pretty awesome. Otherwise explore and see what fits your needs!

You definitely don't need anything like CM Cleaner, those things are total rubbish, they use more resources than they claim to save. Doze is pretty good at getting the device to sleep when it isn't in use, but some people still use Greenify. I use BetterBatteryStats to monitor to power consumption, f.lux to automatically adjust screen temp at night, Faster GPS to aid in getting a quick GPS lock, and Flashfire for flashing certain things when I absolutely need to on the go.
I use All in One Toolbox to control the myriad of aggressive apps that feel they should launch/run everything i start my phone.
Thanks for the replies guys!
I plan on rooting the 6P today, and I have had experience with such apps as SetCPU, Rom Toolbox, etc. But that has probably been about 2 years ago.
What are the go-to root apps for stock android (not sure I'm ready for ROMs yet)?
1. Flashfire, very powerful tool for flashing things (especially useful for taking OTAs when rooted).
2. Ampere Measures current going in while charging, (pretty useful when my fast charger broke).
3. Naptime , improves standby time immensely (Doze on screen off).
4. Faster GPS, much faster GPS lock as I dont really like leaving location on all the time.
5. BetterBatteryStats, huge info on power consumption.
6. F.lux, (Changes colour temperature based on location and sunsets, warmer colours after sunset, less obtrusive to the eyes.
7. Adaway, gets rid of ads ... yay
8. Viper4Android, best EQ and FX processor available.

Killing wakelocks on Android 7.1.1

How do I go about doing this? I see many apps with unnecessary wakelocks. I would use amplify but I'm on 7.1.1. Any alternatives?

In your experience, do you think that a package disabler is necessary?

Do you think a package disabler app is necessary?
Do you think a package disabler app does more good or more harm in battery life?
Necessary? No
Package disabler is just a tool. Whether it does harm or good depend on how user use it.
If you randomly disable something you don't know or you blindly use the "disable all bloatware" option in some package disabler, it's likely do more harm than good.

i've manadged to get another 2 hours SoT by themeing my device to be AMOLED friendly with a black theme,wallpapers and black themed apps (facebook,twitter etc) typically getting 6+ hours SoT and the overall battery lasting well over a full day.
while this is possbile i do not think it is necessary to mess around with package disablers
Do you use package disablers or have anything disabled tthrough stock? Bloatware?
Id say in terms of battery life yes you absolutely need it bc it prevents a bunch of apps from running in the background that you don't need.

No but I do use greenify on a few apps (no system apps though)
I have read it gives you less cpu usage because you disabled it and it can cause wakelocks because things that do use those packages still try to use them.
But what's the point in disabling things when it seems things I went and disabled show up as included packages in Gsam when I go to see what all is running in Android System when I disabled a lot of those packages?

Which I do see proof of in GSAM
