DozeOff vs Plug Off Airplane
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
DozeOff
Since Doze was introduced in Android 6.0, it's been a constant source of pain for developers who can't keep background processes running reliably, and users who are constantly missing important notifications because the system automatically decides to kill background services. Some ROMs are worse than others, with MIUI being the worst offender and AOSP being somewhat tolerable. DozeOff automatically disables Doze when the system is booted on your rooted device, simple as that. On Android 12L and newer, DozeOff will also disable Phantom Process Killing. You can also choose keep the CPU and WiFi awake at all times, but this will drain the battery very quickly.
Plug Off Airplane
This is a very simple app that turns off Airplane Mode when the USB cable is plugged in. The idea is to make sure Airplane Mode is turned off at least once a day, in a safe location in terms of metadata: the home. Your telecom already knows your device belongs to its billing address. This makes it easier to use Airplane Mode to disable the cellular radio during the day, when it is not needed.
