Getting BatteryFu features (radios polling and more battery savings)
BatteryFu is a battery saving libre Android app : https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.tobykurien.batteryfu/
It allows to :
- turn data (WiFi or mobile-data) (and/or bluetooth) on 2 minutes every 15 minutes (for instance) as those radios are off the rest of the time, it saves battery
- turn on data (WiFi or mobile) when screen is unlock (as you're in command to do something)
- turn off radios during night (when you sleep)
- turn on data when plugged
- shows two big switches : data always on, and airplane mode (data always off) (with a 3rd which is : back to normal polling behavior)
I imagine that using Anbox for this would not actually save battery.
Maybe tlp (see #411 (closed)) would be able to do the same, adding specific configuration rules.
Maybe we could start by making just a user interface to configure some crons…
What would be acceptable to make a daemon handling the 2nd point (turn on data when screen is unlock) ? (Python ? Haskell ?)

I personally think the DE's should handle this and make it fully configurable. E.g. Plasma Mobile could do it through Powerdevil in combination with plasma-nm, and have a KCM for it. I'm sure GNOME has some similar stack that can handle it.

I'm aiming to use XFCE4, as both Plasma Mobile and Phosh are very slow with the Pinephone. So I would prefer something DE agnostic, like the CoreApps or RedShift.
