About [root]Doze Now (Beta)
*This app requires the Device Admin privilege. This privilege is only used to lock your device(turn off the screen). Deactivate Device Admin in order to uninstall.
Doze is a battery saving feature introduced in Android 6.0. However, you'll need to wait a long time after screen is turned off to get in. It also requires a significant motion sensor which some old devices don't have.
This app is the solution.
Features:
Enable Doze mode if it is previously disabled.
(Force) Enter Doze with a simple tap.
Create a shortcut on your homescreen for one-tap Doze.
**NOTE** In this version you'll have to manually enable it's Device Administrator privilege. This privilege is only used to turn your screen off. You'll also get 'Unfortunately, Doze Now has stopped.' when you grant this privilege. It won't affect the feature and all these problems will be fixed soon.
*NOTE2* In Doze mode, your apps like instant messaging(IM) apps will stop working if they are not using Google Cloud Messaging(GCM). Good news is, most IM apps use GCM. But there are still apps that use their own service. This is low in performance and draining battery. Their services will be killed by Doze. If you rely on them, ask the developer to use GCM. Alarm Clock apps should work well (the system will exit Doze before alarm fires), but if they don't, I am not responsible for that.
*NOTE3* Though this version has been tested, there are still possibilities of bugs. Report them to the developer via E-mail. Also, tell me if your battery life is getting better or worse with this app. Thanks.

If would be even greater if this could some how be linked to the power button, so when the power button to turn off the screen is pressed the phone goes into doze mode. Or has the option... there is an app called forcedoze that claims to do this... but it doesn't as far as I can tell because it does not ask me for root access.
