Hello, I've been using this app for months and recently there was an update saying that now there is an option to ignore focused apps. My question is: what does the app understand as focused app?

For example, let's say I'm using F-droid (which I've selected in Battery Tool) and check for updates and, in the meanwhile, I turn off the screen. I understand that if I was in the app before turning the screen off, it will be treated as focused (and hence not killed). But, if I check for updates and then leave the app and turn off the screen, would it still be treated as focused?
Note that the app is still running and there is a notification that says that it is currently checking for updates.

I've been thinking about this for a long time before this option was released as I'm afraid that if an app is currently being updated from an app store, the store gets killed and thus the app is not updated.

Thank you for creating the app, it is really awesome!

Could you please take a look? Thanks!

DESCRIPTION:

When activating "ignore music apps" it asks to enable the "notifications permission", I grant the permissions, and the option is not enabled.

It also happens that, when I restart the phone, and open Battery Tool, when I enable the "ignore music apps" option, it is enabled without problems, but the next reboot happens again the same error mentioned initially.

So in conclusion, this bug happens to me every reboot.

SCREENSHOTS:

->I want to enable "ignore music apps", and I get the box to give you permission for notifications.

->I give permission for notifications

->Despite giving permissions, the option is not activated.

->After rebooting the phone, I go to the option, and if it can be activated, but in the next reboot the bug occurs again and the cycle repeats.

Description
Hello, I've been using this app for months and it has always worked fine. However, I noticed some time ago that it was not auto stopping in background. I don't know what could've caused it.

I've tried with every version in F-droid, but none worked. Stopping manually in the app does work.

Steps I did:

1. Install the app
2. Grant root permissions
3. Disabled the notification from Android settings
4. Set Auto stop timeout to 15 seconds
5. Selected apps
6. The app confirms that some apps will get stopped soon.
7. Turn off screen for +20 seconds
8. Turn on screen. The app still says they will get stopped soon

Additional information

• Android version: 12L
• Battery Tool version: 1.2.0
• Installation source: F-Droid
• Magisk: 25201 Canary (maybe the magisk version is the cause?)

When the app was working I would usually get a toast from Magisk saying the app was granted superuser rights when it killed any app in the background. I don't seem to receive these now.

May I suggest to use a translation platform as Weblate to handle the translations? Weblate is open source and as such supports open source projects by allowing them to use the service free of charge. Many great open source projects are already there.

This will greatly improve the experience of translators.

P.S.
It is as easy as git pull and git push to receive and send translations to Weblate.

Option to not stop an app if media is playing

Add an option switch to the settings page, named "Ignore if media is playing" or similarly, which determines whether the apps added to stop list will be stopped automatically according to other rules (say, automatically stop after screen turns off) when that app is playing media.

I use Android 11 GSI with SuperUser. App is crashing, can't open at all. Granted root permission.
Installed app via F-Droid.

Hi,

If possible, I would like to translate the app into Turkish language.

I have included a calling app (Facebook Messenger) to be managed by BatteryTool.
When I call, and I place the earpiece on my ear, the proximity sensor turns off the screen. BatteryTool thinks that it has to shut down Messenger because the screen was turned off.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would love to see a Allowlist Mode which dozes every app except explicitly allowed ones. Also great with #8 too.

Im pleased to see that the development continued after a while, i used to like this app
Any way to release beta builds once every month to test the new changes ? They sound interesting :D

I doesn't seem as any of the features requires internet access to work.

How is this app compared to greenify?

Describe the solution you'd like

Media players aren't the only apps that use notifications as a way to continue running a task in the background. Termux is an example if this. Greenify uses the notification access permission to ensure it doesn't accidentally interrupt these kinds of apps. Battery Tool should do the same, but currently, it will instead close these kinds of apps no matter what they're doing.

I am trying the app on arrow OS android 11 but as per the title in the user app list no app is shown. I have magisk 21.2 and the app has already been allowed to be rooted.

It'd be very handy if the app could refrain from killing apps that are actively playing audio.

Description
The app insists on root rights but there is no way to grant them.
The about: box states: no permissions asked.
My device; LG Q7

Hello, would it be possible to set BattetyTool as an device administrator? In the android 13 notification center it's showing the current running apps in the background. AfWall+ is administrator and can't be stopped, but battery tool can.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be handy to have the ability to mark apps to be stopped, even if the auto-detection determines there isn't a need at the time. For instance, personal preference with a social media app.

Maybe you can add Shizuku support.

Description
Foreground apps are still being closed - for example, if I open Neo Store, keep it onscreen, and shut off the screen, once I turn the screen back on, Neo Store has been closed. The focused app option is on, and my close delay set to 0 seconds (closed instantly). Please let me know if you need me to gather more detailed info.

Additional information

• Device: Google Pixel 5a/barbet
• Android version: 12.1/LineageOS 19.1
• Battery Tool version: 1.2.0
• Installation source: F-Droid

Describe the solution you'd like

I hope to have a switch to enable/disable automatic addition of newly installed apps to stop list. If the switch is on, when a new app is installed, it will be automatically added to the stop list and the user can remove it from the list on demand.
