THIS IS AN UNSUPPORTED EXPERIMENTAL BETA APPLICATION, BUGGY, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. PLEASE READ THE ENTIRE POST BEFORE USING.
About
SuperPower attempts to save battery power by controlling various power hungry components and features of the device. Its features include managment of the cellular data connection, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, CPU speed and 2G/3G band. It does all this automagically based on the options you configure.
There are more battery saver apps out there, but none that work the way I want them to. It is however meant to work relatively simply. If you want uber-fine-grained control use one or a combination of the other applications available.
SuperPower also serves as somewhat of an Android port of WMLongLife.
BETA, Development & Testing
This application is in beta stage and far from finished. There will be bugs, and the list of things that still need to added, changed, refactored, streamlineed, etc is long.
Primary testing and development is done on a Galaxy S (unbranded, EU, I9000) device, but I also run tests on a G1 and a Hero. Other users have reported it (mostly) works on the Droid, Milestone, Nexus, Desire, Pulse, EVO.
Android version
SuperPower requires Android 1.6 or newer. Some features require newer versions, and some features have a different code path on different Android versions.
For example, Bluetooth features require Android 2.0, while the download speed tracker (to not disable data while downloading) requires Android 2.2. Features are automatically disabled if they are not available for your Android version.
Main features
Control over
- Cellular data
- Wi-Fi
- WiMAX * Android 2.2+ *
- Bluetooth * Android 2.0+ *
- CPU speed * ROOT *
- Bands (2G/3G) * ROOT *
- GPS * ROOT, PATCH, Android 2.2+ *
- Auto-Sync
- Background data * ROOT, PATCH, Android 2.2+ *
Automatic management of the above based on
- Screen state
- Wi-Fi network connection state
- WiMAX network connection state
- Lock screen visibility state
- Download speed
- Foreground application
- Tethering state
- Sleep mode
- Low battery state
- Charging state
Other
- Schedule data connection to be available at certain times
- Schedule night mode
- Informative toasts in response to user actions
- Status bar notifications about the current state, which you can tap to change
- Provides handy shortcuts you can add to the home screen for easy access of a number of functions
Additional features
- Enable/disable data is non-persistent. APNs are not modified! This is no longer true on Gingerbread (2.3) and newer due to changes in Android security. Here either data is disabled entirely (Settings -> Wireless and network -> Mobile networks -> Use packet data, or APNs are modified (Access Point Names in the same menu).
- 2G/3G switching is supported in two different ways: RIL injection (highly experimental, any ROM, possible side effects) and Sidekick (AOSP ROMs signed with platform test keys, or using patching)
- Completely event based, no polling, ever.
Future features
I have a LOT of them already in my to-do list. However, if you have any ideas feel free to post them. To name a few that are already on my list: configuration wizard, widget, GPS control, mapper, signal-strength based 2G/3G. Of course improvement to current features, fixing bugs, etc are also on my (perpetual?) to-do list.

General: Will this prolong battery life ?
Quite probably, yes, significantly! BUT, there is never a guarantee. It all depends on how you use your device, the current conditions, and how you configure SuperPower. Some options in general save a lot of battery, but may be too inconvenient for you to use (specifically 2G/3G switching), and if you still want to use them, some playing with the various options may be needed to get it to work with the least amount of inconvenience to your usage pattern.
If you are a very heavy user, no amount of software is going to help you (much). You need a bigger battery (or a spare). If all you use your device for is streaming YouTube, chances are battery life improvements you will see are little to none.
CPU scaling may have less effect than expected. The amount of battery it saves has differed wildly between tests on different devices.
Using Wi-Fi may use significantly less power than using 2G/3G. Or, 2G/3G may use significantly less power than using Wi-Fi. It depends on the situation, the signal strength of both cellular and Wi-Fi, the transfer speed, etc.
Using 2G instead of 3G will generally speaking use less battery for most users, but this is not a given. It depends on the situation.
All in all however, the default SuperPower configuration will provide you with a setup that will save a lot of battery for the average user, with little to no inconvenience to the user.
General: I want feature X, but it isn't included
Feel free to request the feature in this thread, even if this feature is already listed in these posts that it will be implemented sooner or later. If feature X is posted about 10 times, and feature Y only 3 times, that may have an effect on the priority of implementation.
General: I expected X to happen, but Y happened
Please go through the entire configuration to make sure you haven't configured anything that causes this behaviour Y before posting here. Also read through this FAQ and the known issues. It is of course possible you have found an undocumented bug, if so please report it here (see "I found a bug")
General: I found a bug
If you post it here, perhaps we can do something about it. But first, please check your configuration first to make sure it is unexpected behaviour. When posting about a bug, always include the relevant SuperPower configuration options, exactly which device you are using, which ROM, etc. More information is usually better !
Data connections: The connection state changed, but didn't change back when I expected it to
In the default configuration, SuperPower will "upgrade" connection states as soon as possible, but general only "downgrade" them when you aren't looking.
For example, turning on data will be done as soon as you need it; while turning off data will generally be done only a while after the screen goes off. The same goes for for example 2G/3G. Switching to 3G will happen as soon as possible, switching to 2G will not be done immediately.
This does all depend on your SuperPower configuration, though!
System popups: The PIN screen pops up sometimes
On some devices certain actions can cause the PIN screen to popup when for example bandswitching or coming out of airplane mode.
If you enter your PIN code in the SuperPower configuration and you have such a device, SuperPower will attempt to automatically enter the PIN code for you - IF it understands it was one of SuperPower's actions that caused the PIN popup. An overlay screen will be presented to you while the PIN is entered and the SIM unlocked.
This is however an experimental feature, may not work 100% of the time, and can cause some inconvenience. If you find this highly annoying, but you do want to use the features SuperPower provides that may cause this behaviour, you can disable the PIN screen altogether in the device's settings application.
System popups: The lock screen pops up sometimes
Like the PIN screen, on some devices certain actions can cause the lock screen to popup. SuperPower actively counters this behaviour while it is performing actions. Should it still happen, please report it (and the exact situation that caused it), specific code that prevents this behaviour may need to be added to code in additional places.
2G/3G: A band switch is being performed even though I'm already in the mode it is switching to
It is not always possible to detect the current 2G/3G state. In that case, SuperPower will treat the current mode as undefined, and any trigger that will cause either 2G or 3G mode will result in a band switch being performed, regardless of what the current actual state may be. This is also a reason to not use the device's settings app (or any other app) to switch between 2G/3G when SuperPower is also using 2G/3G functionality. Always use SuperPower (and only SuperPower) to perform the band switch!
2G/3G: What is the difference between the RIL injection and the Sidekick method ?
RIL injection is as hackery as hacks come, and is currently only available for GSM devices. It completely circumvents most of Android and tries to force commands to be sent to the radio.
Sidekick on the other hand will use the same method as the device's settings screen to trigger a band switch, and is therefor both safer and faster to use. It does unfortunately require a compatible ROM. Carrier / manufaturer ROMs are usually not compatible, and not all custom ROMs are compatible either. Sidekick is available both on GSM as well as CDMA devices.
If your ROM is Sidekick compatible, Sidekick will always be used instead of RIL injection.
Both methods have not been extensively tested on a wide range of devices yet. So neither method may be compatible with your device. Please post here if neither method works on your device.
2G/3G: Even though I have root, the 2G/3G switching options are disabled (CDMA)
RIL injection is currently only supported on GSM devices. Only the Sidekick method supports CDMA at the moment.
2G/3G: Band switching takes too long, is this a bug ? Can it be improved ?
Band switching will take time, and inconvenience you. There is no way around this. The phone has to drop the network connection and completely reconnect to the tower.
However, in some cases it does take longer than in other cases. The Sidekick method provides the fastest band switching available, but is not compatible with many ROMs. If your ROM is compatible, though, Sidekick will be installed and used automatically instead of RIL injection.
When the RIL injection method is used (which will probably be for most users), band switching speed depends heavily on the device. Some devices are fairly quick with RIL injections, others are slow. If you have a device that requires your PIN code for operations such as band switching and coming out of airplane mode, band switching will also take significantly longer.
Depending on all these factors, band switching can take anywhere between 10 seconds and a minute. Band switching will usually save a lot of power, but you have to consider wether the extra battery life is worth the inconvenience.
2G/3G: I'm in 2G mode but my device switched back to 3G
Some devices are known to do this. If it happens to you, please post about it. An attempt a viable workaround is on the to-do list.
CPU: The device never wakes from sleep
Not all devices work perfectly with CPU scaling. If this happens, reboot your phone, go into SuperPower configuration, and switch the "ondemand" setting under "Root features". If that doesn't work, you'll just have to disable CPU scaling.
CPU: Using tool X shows me that CPU speed is never changed
The CPU speed cannot be easily changed on all devices. Some devices/firmwares are "perflocked". Disabling perflock is beyond the scope of SuperPower, and thus SuperPower will make no attempt to disable it. There are tools out there that can disable perflock on many devices that have it, for example, check out SetCPU.
Known issues
- IMPORTANT BUG - WARNING In various Android 2.1 (Eclair) builds there is a bug with push email. In case there is no data connection available, the background email service will go absolutely insane. It will use quite some CPU power constantly, and it will not let the device go to sleep - ever! I do not know if this bug existed before 2.1, and I have not seen the issue on 2.2 ROMs. If you are suffering from this, or suspect you are suffering from this, disable all the options in SuperPower to disable the cellular data connection.
- SuperUser: SuperPower does use a lot of root commands if you have root. You might want to configure SuperUser to not show toast notifications for every single request.
- State: Current state detection is not perfect yet and needs some improvements. I would advise trying to limit changing options in the application to times when Wi-Fi is off and you are in 3G mode as much as possible, just to be sure.
- Wi-Fi: Occasionally Wi-Fi and cellular data states will conflict, causing cellular data to be set to active when Wi-Fi is on. Happens sporadically.
- CPU Scaling: On the I9000 and family, you should (in my experience) enable the "ondemand" option if you are using CPU scaling. If you don't, and the device is in "suspend" mode, an incoming phonecall may crash the device.
- CPU Scaling: SuperPower makes no attempt to detect or disable perflock. If you have a perflocked device, you need to use SetCPU (or some other tool) to disable perflock on boot.
- CPU Scaling: SuperPower attempts to detect the possible CPU speed settings, and will choose the nearest value below half the maximum CPU speed as "low speed" frequency. The actual number chosen is stated in the description of the relevant option.
- CPU Scaling: I know some overclocked ROMs require the device to always be at this overclocked speed to prevent the device crashing during sleep. If you are using an overclocked ROM and encounter the "sleep of death", disable CPU Scaling.
- Roaming: SuperPower has not been tested while roaming at all. I suspect - but am by no means sure - there may be issues regarding the cellular data connection while roaming and you have set the device to disallow data entirely (while roaming). Let me know if you encounter any that seem directly related to roaming.
- Application specific: Applicatoin specific settings do not go into effect if the app is reached through the back-button, only if started through the launcher (or by some other app)
- Lock screen: Even if the "dont do ... while lockscreen visible" options are enabled, these actions may still happen if triggered by an application specific options
- 2G/3G: On some devices the device itself will automatically switch back to 3G, it will not stay in 2G for very long

14.10.2010 - v0.50 BETA - Initial release
Tested on the Moto Droid running CM6, works well tested some features
Thank you. Will also test your application.
Interesting for me is the function, turning of data connection when wifi is active because this month, I've only gprs speed.
My Galaxy S downloaded Asphalt through the Data Connection although wifi was available...and I did this 2 times -_-
One "error", maybe missconfigured: If the screen is off, and I turn it back on I've no network.
Even the network from my provider was not active. So there is no phone connection nor receiving sms possible.
When I turn the screen back on, it rapidly connects to my provider.
Maybe you can give me a hint what I missconfigured
great app, it is working very well for me. Turns off data connection when screen is off and turns on every 15 minutes for 2 minutes to allow autosync. Exactly what I need for power saving since with 2g only and no active auto-sync I am saving a LOT of power.
Works Excellently
Nice App on 2.2 JPM THX mate
will test it and report back to you
for now; THANKS

When you mean the network is not "active", do you have a "white circle with a line through it" icon ?
Do you have 2G/3G switching enabled ? The above is exactly what would happen if:
- You have enabled switch to 2G when screen goes off, and you turn on the device while the device is switching to 2G
- You have enabled switch to 3G when screen goes on
In both cases it is a temporary situation that takes about 10 seconds to resolve. Unfortunately switching between 2G and 3G takes time.
Thanks Chainfire. I will try this app and I’ll let you know if I find any bug or I got any suggest.
I really like the option to disable data when the screen is turned off, it’s very good for those who sometimes forget to deactivate 3G when. The only bad pint that I can see to this particular feature is that I could stop downloads of big files unless you have the screen always turned on. By the way I still really like that feature.

I guess you have something planned like a watchdog to see if there is any data transfer before stopping the connection. If thats the case I think it might be not so easy as some apps could be connected to the internet with very small data transfer. However, you are the expert on this.
I just tested in my SSGS with froyo 2.2 (JPM). I'm just using default options (disconnect data when the screen is turned off) and I have realised that when the data gets disconnected the phone makes a small vibration. It would be cool if we can avoid the vibration as it also spends some battery

Likely it will be related to the download speed itself, not sure yet though.

As stated in the first post the vibration is a debug option. It will be removed / turned off in a later version. Remember this is beta

I activated both options.
Ok, if this is intended behaviour and just happens if I switch the screen back on, than it's fine.

Note that if you turn off the "Automatic switch to 3G" option, SuperPower will switch to 3G when you start any of the programs selected in the "Applications requiring 3G" instead of every time you turn on your screen.
Wow this is great! I'll download and try when I upgrade to JPM this weekend! Nice to see a great Dev working on the SGS!
Nice app mate thanks, look forward to more development. And damn you have TONS of phones, mind giving us a HD2? haha.
Bug Report!
Bug Report!
Force closed on I9000M on when switching back from another app back to SP
reloaded SP and it went in properly
I9000M became unresponsive after enabling 2G/3G option
Force closed again...
still hung, can't do much with SP, need to uninstall to return SGS back to normal
no option to uninstall, it does not appear on Titanium backup or any apk manager

I was always looking for a single place to control all power hungry devices on my Android device, something like standard "Power Control" widget, but with extra capabilities. I was looking for ways to control mobile data and phone radio, in particular. Many devs have released apps that are capable of controlling these functions, but so far I have not found an open source all-in-one widget. Then I decided to step in and enhance the excellent configuration controller widget -- Dazzle.
New features:
Quick mobile data control (no persistent storage!)
Phone radio power on/off
GPS on/off with indicator.
Known issues:
Mobile data icon
System mobile data settings are not changed, the radio mobile data state is just turned on or off. If you toggle the radio state or reboot the phone the mobile data will be turned on automatically.
Mobile data indicator has no "transition" state yet.
Sometimes mobile data switch do nothing, e.g. when you have Wi-Fi on. It's by design, we just need a better indication for such state.
Possible enhancements, if people are interested: persistent mobile data state, remember the chosen state and restore it after reboot or radio power toggle.
Unfortunately Ian has no time to integrate the change right now, so I am releasing this beta version to gather some feedback. Since I have no intention to actually fork the project, eventually all functionality will be integrated in the Dazzle project. Let me know if you would like to preview the source code.
Hello everyone!
I was searching for a connectivity (3G/Wifi) manager that will allow to save some juice without sacrificing my habits.
I couldn't find something that fulfilled exactly my needs so as a curious IT engineer I decided to develop my first android application.
CleverConnectivity is an application that helps you to manage your data and wifi connection in order to save battery.
NO ROOT IS NEEDED.
How does CleverConnectivity work?
This application will automatically turn on and off connectivity (data/wifi/sync) while screen is OFF.
For example if the user chooses below configuration:
Time On: 2min
Time On Next Check: 1min
Time Off: 10m
Usage check Interval: 3s
Once the screen is OFF, CleverConnectivity will keep connectivity alive for 2min. Then it will check if data is used during a period of 3s.
If data is used, connectivity will be kept for 1 minute (Time On Next Check).
If data is NOT used, connectivity will be desactivated for 10min. After this, the connectivity will be re-activated and Time On will kick in.
Once screen is ON, connectivity will be automatically re-enabled.

}
Details of features:
- Configuration of ON-OFF cycle (Time On, Time Off, Usage Interval Period)
- Disable/Enable connectivity (Wifi/Data/Sync)
- Enable/disable management of Data/Wifi/Sync connectivity
- Sleep Hours: During these hours, all connectivity will desactivated one screen is OFF
- Possibility to turn off bluetooth during sleep hours
- Auto Wifi-Off: Wifi will be disabled after after a defined period if screen is OFF and no known networks are available
- Auto Wifi-On: Wifi will be enabled once a known network is availaible
- Check Wifi internet connection: Will check if the wifi is able to connect to the internet before connecting to it
- Possibility to read logs generated by the app
- Possibility to deactivate the app while the phone is plugged. The ON-OFF cycle will resume once the phone is unplugged.
- "Screen On Connectivity Delay" which delays the moment where connectivites are re-enabled when screen is turned on
- Possibility to manage connectivity per app
- Shortcut can be created to enable/disable CConnectivity
- Possibility to turn on/off permanent notification
- Switch 2G/3G (for cyanogenmod based roms only)
How does this CleverConnectivity is different from its concurrents:
- You can turn on/off connectivity (wifi/data/sync) everywhere in the system (settings, toggles on notification bar...) and will be taken into consideration by CleverConnectivity
- CleverConnectivity can check data usage before disable it. Therefore your downloads/streaming won't be stopped
- It's very lightweight and efficient. You just have to install it and configure it and then forget it. It will do it work silently and efficiently.
- It's free! It contains all features of the paid version. The only difference is the presence of ads. If you want to support me, then you can buy the no ads version.

GOoD App
Giving this a try to see if it gets even more life out of my nexus 4. Thanks and good work! I'll drop a review on the Play Store after some evaluation time.
I thought this is the app that I've been looking for.
I'll try your app, and I'll buy the paid version to support you if this app exactly the same what I searching for.:thumbup:
Thanks.

Could this be the solution to the Achilles' heel of Wi-Fi calling? Going out of hotspot range drops the call... would this app allow a soft handover to 3G? The carriers will LOVE you...
Can one just use the connectivity timer On/Off settings (for turning data and wifi off during the night) and ignore all the other settings? Not checking them? If so, what would one put in the "time on", "time off" and "usage check interval" fields? Thanks
I dunno who wrote the description on the XDA front page, but from what I see the functionality of this app is not exactly what's indicated there imho.
Ask any smartphone or tablet user how would their life be without Internet access, and the answer would certainly not be a happy one in most cases. We use these devices to stay connected to the rest of the world using WiFi wherever and cellular data. However, switching between these two can become a hassle, especially if you are frequently moving around between WiFi coverage areas and areas where you must switch to your data connection. Frustrated with this issue, XDA Forum Member gyagapen decided to build his first Android app to address this problem, and shared the fruit of his labor with us in form of CleverConnectivity.
The app intelligently manages switching between both your WiFi and 3G data connections as you move about, but that’s not all. The killer feature of the app is that it also makes sure your ongoing downloads and media streams aren’t interrupted due to the switching! And guess what? This is only the start of the list of features boasted by the app.
The app is available as both a fully functional but ad-supported free version, and an ad-free paid version. You can find more details, the complete feature list, and the Play Store links in the forum thread.

What?
I see it say 3g,but does it work on 4g as well?
Testing it on my Note. Sounds like a very useful app.
The paid app version is down. It's not that the URL is bad, it looks like it has been pulled from the server. I clicked the link from the play store on the free app version and got the same thing

If you don't want the app to check data usage before turning off connectivity, just input 0 to the usage check interval.
If you want to keep Wi-Fi and data off during the night, you can check only the sleep hours checkbox and leave all the others checkbox unchecked. It should work. The timers values are only use for Wi-Fi manager and data manager, so you can input any values if you don't use them.

My app only disable wifi if your are away from known networks for too long (Auto-Wifi Off), but it won't reconnect when you are back to wifi coverage (I think checking this will consume too much battery).
However, all the part about checking data usage is exact.

It should also work with 4g, but as I don't have a 4g capable phone I can't test, please report here if you have any issue.
Hi,
Your application seems to be nice!
I've installed it on my Galaxy Ace 2 without problem to see more about it.
I've a couple of question:
1 Have you an idea of the battery consumption gain with this application ?
2 There is in the application a log running continuously. Is it for debugging purpose ? is it possible to disable it ?
Thanks for your efforts
Best regards
A quick question,
My phone is quite data-active in the background. Many times I need to keep data on for incoming email or some syncing such as a few songs from my Subsonic server. Is there a function to switch 3G/2G instead of turning it off?

Hi,
Thanks for your feedback, please find below answers to your question:
1) I have monitored battery consumption with battery monitor widget.
Here are my results for the night
Here it's for the day
2) I have still some work to do with logs. I will add an option to disable them.
Regards.

Nothing wrong with your app, but the guy who wrote that post certainly has some comprehension problems.
It's written as if your app can handle switching of networks mid downloads. Oh well....
Please take this as (shared) information merely meant to make one think about & eventually consider someone else’s experience, rather than opinionated directions – which is NOT. I, myself see all this as a flexible, changeable, never ending process where further optimizations are definitely probable and possible. While I am definitely willing to share more details if someone’s interested, I will not respond to challenges or confrontations.
On some other thread someone suggested that without a screenshot it doesn't exist, so here you have the proving screenshots. During the first part of the day I've had a light/medium usage (receiving & sending about 10 emails, light online browsing, reading a couple of articles offline, etc). The vertical drop represents a reboot after generating a nandroid backup in TWRP and then the second part of the day was sort of medium/heavy usage with more time online and significant continuous screen-on time. (no 2D/3D games) I went to bed at 11:30PM with still 48% of battery left.
SPECIFIC environment and running parameters:
- Stock JB 4.2.2, rooted, SGH-I337M (Canadian)
- Lots of manually uninstalled/frozen apps/processes (through TB) – details available upon request.
- Under Mobile Networks I force WCDMA only (unless I’m out, downloading larger files - case in which I temporarily switch to WCDMA/LTE/GSM). Reasoning: Despite later networks optimizations, LTE is still a power hog and since it’s only used for data transfer (no voice over LTE yet – called VoLTE), no point in keeping it On permanently especially when 4G (HSDPA) can render up to 15-18Mb/s.
- WiFi On permanently (unless I’m away from “Home” for days - or longer - case in which I eventually consider manually toggling the WiFi). Reasoning: With the idea of automatically turning OFF the WiFi service when not connected and then turning it back ON when close to “Home” or “Work”, I have extensively tested various location based optimizations/monitoring methods (Tasker, Llama, Easy Profiles, Locale). So, it became clear that even when the location was monitored ONLY based on cell networks (by far the most power efficient method), the background monitoring process took (significantly) more power than the WiFi (dormant) services – especially since the recent Google’s API implementation of fused location services (go figure!!!). In other words it’s more power efficient to just leave WiFi services On when going out and about and then coming back to a “Home”/”Work” location where WiFi connection is used – then to use a background location monitoring service to toggle WiFi service On/Off.
- Sync OFF (Reasoning: I simply don’t need it – your case may be different here, no arguments).
- Location services OFF (Reasoning: I use Tasker to automatically turn the GPS On when certain apps are in the foreground and then automatically turn it back Off when the app is closed (no longer in the foreground)). This way I have 100% control over both, determining/monitoring exact location and power consumption.
- Auto Start Manager (from ROM Toolbox Pro) to control the receivers/intents that load (or not) at boot. Reasoning: This method can be used in conjunction with (or instead of) freezing apps in Tasker since some apps may act funny after being frozen/unfrozen (i.e. If TalkBack is once frozen, then you’d most likely get the voice talking back to you (in some native apps) even when TalkBack gets restored to its original state and/or everything else is off, including all the dependent services – quite annoying. Same goes for “Software Update”. I’d rather disable the intent that activates the service at boot (in ROMToolbox), than freeze the service/app (in Tasker) because freezing may render the process unusable even after being restored/unfrozen. There are lots of possibilities here but this takes patience and trial & error.
- Tasker is probably the only one app that makes me never leave Android environment. I use it heavily and the possibilities for optimizations (and amazement) are truly endless. When I mention Time/Location/Position/Variables/Apps optimizations/Sensor-based actions I merely scratch the surface. It takes a little bit of time and dedication to learn the ropes but it’s definitely worth the effort.
- Facebook (Notifications On + auto sync every 1 hr), Google+ (Manual sync - since Sync is Off)
- Aqua Mail Pro (all other email clients like Gmail or stock Email are frozen or uninstalled)
- Boat Browser Pro (all other Internet browsers are frozen or uninstalled)
- Screebl Pro (keep screen on) – rather than Samsung’s Smart Stay (a much better/efficient solution - although it seems to no longer be supported)
- I mostly use the screen on Auto-Brightness but occasionally, in low light conditions (night/indoors) I use LMT Gestures/Tasker with 4 brightness presets (double swipe Up/Down/Right/Left – works wonder, even over a locked screen!!!)
- RoboForm with a decent internal browser and an excellent security, solves the ordeal of remembering (or carrying them insecurely) lots and lots of login/passwords. Just to give you some food for thoughts, I often do online banking transactions on the phone – but only using RoboForm’s internal, secure browser.
I found the S4 much better optimized than any other phone I've had so far, in terms of power consumption when idle (screen off), however the SCREEN and the MEDIA SCANNER (running after every reboot) are the two major (I mean major) consumers that, despite careful optimizations, are still taking most of the battery – and there is not much we can do about it.
BATTERY SAVER 2014
Battery Saver 2014 is an app for saving battery consumption allowing it to extend its life. Increase the battery life is up to twice that of tablet Android Smartphone thanks to the management of the connection to the occurrence of the Auto-off or screen .
In order not to miss any notification it is possible to determine the time at which the connection will automatically be reactivated for a minute to allow the receipt of notifications of various programs without user intervention
can choose to reactivate the connection every 10, 15, 20, 30 minutes or you can choose to disable this feature, useful for example if you leave the phone at night without the battery consumption but that is because of the connection
A screen on the connections are lit
A screen off after a minute the connections are disabled and then be reactivated , a timeout is set in the menu settings
You can also choose the type of connection settings to be excluded if 3g or wifi. In the case of no choice the program will handle them individually, giving priority to wifi when you lock on to the one stored on the device within one minute of screen otherwise you will connect to wifiYou can also choose the type of connection settings to be excluded if 3g or wifi. In the case of no choice the program will handle them individually, giving priority to wifi when you lock on to the one stored on the device within one minute of screen otherwise you will connect to wifi
Operation is simple and does not need to do anything, just download and test it
The application is translated into 8 languages changed the settings :
Italian
English
Deutsch
Français
Español
русский
Român
Japanese
Korean
The application is compatible with versions of Android from 2.1 onwards and display with 3.2 " tablet up to 10", both with stock rom that rom with modified
This application works when the screen is off so that derives the greatest benefit if the phone is not with the screen on constantly
It does not require root permissions
The only permissions that the application uses are those of the management of mobile connection and WIFI

WHAT IS POWER BATTERY ?
Is an application that has been developed Kisler to improve the battery and in which we can select a number of options available to suit our needs can optimize the duration of battery . The idea of this application has been to combine options that are useful for battery management and in turn be simple to use for everyone .
OPTIONS AND WHAT BRINGS ?
To improve this consumption have a number of options are:
Battery Percentage : This section is intended to determine the percentage of battery from Battery Power shall act performing the operations described below, default is 15 %.
BASIC SETTINGS
Wireless Mode: Selecting this option turns off the wifi if you have it activated before entering in the range of battery action defined in the beginning to Battery Power .
Data Mode : Selecting this option disables the data if activated before entering them in the range of battery action defined in the beginning to Battery Power .
Sync Mode: Selecting this option disables the synchronization should have it checked before entering the battery range of action defined in the beginning to Battery Power .
Bluetooth Mode: Selecting this option disables the bluetooth if you have it activated before entering in the range of battery action defined in the beginning to Battery Power .
mode Location: Selecting this option disables the location should have it checked before entering the battery range of action defined in the beginning to Battery Power .
Silent mode : Selecting this option disables the sound / vibration should have it checked before entering the battery range of action defined in the beginning to Battery Power .
Led Mode: Selecting this option disables the LED notification should have it checked before entering the battery range of action defined in the beginning to Battery Power .
ADVANCED
Mode Range: detects a known and active wifi zone wifi to connect automatically or off when leaving the area. (Discussed in detail below).
CPU Mode: Reduces CPU frequency automatically when entering the range defined in Battery Power Battery .
CPU Maximum Frequency : Defines how often you will use the CPU and the CPU mode , default 540 MHz
OPTIONS SCREEN
Brightness Mode : Reduces brightness automatically when entering the range defined in Battery Power Battery .
Brightness Percentage : Brightness Percentage to be applied in the glow mode , default 0 %.
Dark Mode: Controls the brightness as if it were an automatic but with lower values to making work less and reducing the brightness sensor
Pocket Mode: Turn the screen to remove the phone from his pocket and is optimized to consume less than the native rom
Notification Mode: If a notification arrives for a few seconds to pick up the phone turns on the screen without pressing the (must activate accessibility " settings / accessibility / power battery" )
Notification Time : used in the second mode is defined notification
HOURS SMOOTH
Hours Mode : Turn the hour mode to manage data and wifi connection at a time interval.
Week end mode : Activates the alternate schedule for weekend
Restore Links: Restore connections to turn the screen during the hours so
Disable Sensors: Disables the sensors during the quiet hours
Set time : Set the time and day of the week that will activate the quiet hours
PROFILES
These options are combined with profiles Cyanogenmod . Its operation is as follows:
Battery power gives you the option to choose 2 profiles ( of Cyanogenmod ) for that you must enter the name of the previously created profile in the " Settings / Profiles " on Battery Power (default is "Home" and " street" ) . In each of the profiles you can enter a range of performance Power Battery, for example in the profile " House " 15% if we select the profile " Street " 25% . This is so that the Battery Power switch profiles automatically change its range of action and will know when your battery should act removing the options that you feel is necessary . To enable the use of profiles with Cyanogenmod Power battery is made from the " Profile Mode " option.
If not select any profile or the profile used is not one defined in Power Battery percentage to be used will be the first that we have defined earlier .
DISCLAIMER MODE RANGE
This mode produces no wakelock , battery consumption or anything similar . It is designed to conserve battery power in the event that we get out of range of our wifi preventing the active connection be used and consumed without activating it when we get to a place where there is a known wifi stay.
To do this I have based on location through LAC and Cell ID , or put more colloquially by the position of the antennas.
In the picture above you can see a simple design of antennas and radios. Battery Power antenna detects how you are and if you are in your area or not. To do this the first time I conectéis the wifi zone start checking nearby antennas ( depending on the house may be affected by one or more antennas ) .
Once detected out of the range of action of these antennas ( this may vary ) check the state of wifi is connected and if it will be off. The opposite case is that when entering the range of a registered as a wifi access point antenna, wifi be activated.
In the case we are in the same location, for example our home and want to disable / enable wifi to not have changed position we can do like coming to a new area to choose a new wifi network , since disconnection / automatic connection is made just by changing antenna .
In the event that wifi is turned off before choosing a new wifi network you connect may be due to a crossing of antennas ( due to the change from one to another so quickly disconnection may occur ) and if the problem persists after several attempts the solution may be to move a few steps to avoid this junction or off the range mode temporarily to introduce this new wifi.
Advantages of this: It has no wakelock , maximum energy savings by not using the location network location.
Disadvantages: If you are traveling to a remote area of your home, but that you get that antenna signal , being detected as " known antenna " believes these at home and activate the signal . This drawback will very much depend on where you live each and the number of antennas that affect the area. As a rule in the city or area where a large number of antennas work better this way .
Sounds great, shall test! Sounds smooth without even testing

Hi, are there any bugs?
because I have school tomorrow and I don't want to have bugs. I need the gps. Is it working?
and is there the same bug as in the CM that you can't connect to wifi extender networks or is it all stock based?
Need to download Stock Kernel or no?
Any bugs to look out for?
Cool, it has app ops!

No
its not support xt1033 dual sim its based on (XT1032 Stock 4.4.4 Brasil). so not working on our devices. no signal.
Any chance of a xt1033 compatible?
ART compatible?
Perhaps the DEV will kindly make a version of this ROM based on Stock XT1033 for Dual-SIM people. Having quickly looked: FM Radio should work and Motorola Camera / Gallery are included.
Wow
Waauw, this rom is greaaaat, soo smooth. I flashed the PA mini gapps on it and everything works great.
Thank you so much for this rom. I would like to hit the thanks button 30 times if I could
Sounds nice ROM, i will test
I just tried to install but the file is corrupted by me
I do believe you have to convert your file system type if you're running GPE or custom roms before flashing this one due to being based on stock. Is that right?

Only GPE converts USERDATA partition. If you are running anything else; you can just wipe and flash this.
