Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

WakeBlock is an app that, through a system modification, allows users to block or limit any system wakelock, without the need of any kind of framework. This modification can be applied systemless-ly with Magisk, by creating the Magisk Module from inside the app. The app is currently in beta stage, so is missing many features we plan to implement in future releases.

WakeBlock APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the WakeBlock APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store rates this file Trusted. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is 4859f3f0d7b7f9ec679226cd79282032.
