AutoCon : A Smart connection manager which saves battery and reduces data usages
**** I am not actively developing this further ****
AutoCon will turn off the connections when screen goes off and turn them back on when screen turns on - Saves battery by turning off connections when you don't need them, Saves data usages. You can still be connected to internet by activating networks periodically when screen remains off!
AutoCon helps user to control the connections like Data, WiFi, Bluetooth and Auto Sync with the activities of screen. This will prevent the unwanted usages of the network connections which leads to improve battery life! It can also kill or Hibernate apps when screen turns off.
-----------------------------------------------------------
Basic Principle :
It has been observed that the internet connections (WiFi and Data) are one of the primary reasons of battery drain. Also they consume battery when user don't need them. Typically users keep the mobile always connected to internet but majority of users don't require the always-on connection, but its sufficient for them to connect to internet when required.
Its painful for user to turn on the connection when needed and turn it off when done. Here comes AutoCon.
AutoCon will turn off the connections when screen goes off and turn them back on when screen turns on!
Also for countries like India where mobile data plans are still expensive, AutoCon will prevent the exes usages of mobile data by disabling it when its not required.

Explanations of Permissions:
Device & app history (retrieve running apps)
- User for white-list application feature (to determine foreground running app in case user wants AutoCon not to close connection when a particular app is running)
Wi-Fi, Network and Bluetooth information
- Required as basic functionality of AutoCon to enable/disable WiFi, Data and Bluetooth
Root Access (Optional)
- Required for app Hibernate feature
Run at startup
