it looks mostly stable in the second half. what was running in the first half while the phone was awake/screen on for so long? that's what really drained your battery...

Settings - Privacy
Disable backup data.
Has never worked for me anyways.

Did you try to recallibrate your battery? Eventually somehow your batterystats got crashed?
Do you use UtterChaos Kernel? With some nice settings in SetCPU I managed to increase battery life.
Often when flashing new ROMs I freeze many system apps via Gemini App Manager that are likely to run in the background and I don't use. e.g.
com.osp.app.signin (Samsung-Account)
com.sec.android.app.unifiedinbox (Social-Hub)
com.wssyncmldm (Software Update)
com.android.providers.applications (Search Application Provider)
com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox (Search)
com.sec.android.app.controlpanel (Task-Manager)
com.android.providers.userdictionary (User Dictionary)
com.sec.android.widgetapp.stockclock (Y! Finance Clock)
com.google.android.gm (Google Mail)
com.android.providers.subscribedfeeds
...
Yes, my phone is running fine. ^^

yes i have recallibrate battery
the android system shows 2h 25m cpu usage when i woke up at morning and see that my battery drops at 50 from 70 when i left it at night

Disable 3G if you dont use it.
Turn Of GPS/ Wi-Fi.
If you have a internet pack, Disable Sync to Social netwrok and E-Mail!
Saves battery!
Trust me, after doing the above I am getting a 1 day 17 hours!

@ tarang
I think its something related to themes. As u are expert in themes. So changes in system files to make themes might have caused this problem. I sm not sure. Its just a suggestion.

[FAQ][CM10][Kang] for Bruce2728

FAQ for [ROM][CM10][Kang][Pyramid][RC][4.1.2]
This is a FAQ for users who would like to start (or just have) with Bruce's amazing ROM and run into issues.
The development thread is frequently seeing already-answered questions, frustrating many others
and drastically blowing up the thread.
Thank you Bruce for your great work and allowing us to experience a revitalized Sensation!
Obviously also big THANKS to the whole CM team, whoever you are!
In order to help out those users and lessen Bruce's workload to follow the thread, this should be a community effort,
so please feel free to post any items that need to be added or mistakes were made (I wrote this up from memory).
I'm bad with names, so I apologise beforehand to not plug every username here, thanks to whoever contributed!
If you are new to the rom: please take at least a few minutes to use the SEARCH feature FIRST with corresponding keywords
before posting a question, chances are pretty good that it's been answered already (many times).
Mods: if I missed to follow any guideline here, please let me know and I'll fix asap.
Q: I'm on a different ROM, what should I do?
A: Read the full first post as it already includes hints for installation.
You should then also check to have a current firmware (3.32 at least).
The first post has 2 different download links, one or both of them will have
the current version. If you do not see it in the first link (the >>>I AGREE <<< link),
just think for a second and click the mirror link!
There's also a link to a current gapps package (install from recovery as well).
If you think you need different versions, please search the dev forum first before asking,
there are plenty of tweaked/inverted versions out there.
Q: I'm on a previous build of Bruce's, what should I do?
A: just install the current build over it, you do not need to manually wipe dalvik/cache as the install does it already.
Q: Do I need a different kernel or can I switch to a different kernel?
A: Bruce included his own tweaked kernel. Other kernels (like tamcore) may also work,
but also may break things that Bruce had explicitly built in.
I haven't yet seen clear evidence that switching to another kernel offers anything, so
my personal opinion is: don't mess with it, just because you read about some fancy
tweak in another rom's thread.
Q: My data icon keeps flickering/bad connections?
A: this is a often discussed issue with unclear cause (as of now) and happened not only
to TMO users in the US, but also in other countries.
Yesterday it was reported, that getting a new SIM card fixed this issue (at least for
several months for another user).
Please search the thread also for more details/investigations by SkipJacks.
Q: There are graphical issues with Chrome?
A: This has been a known issue for weeks and still needs fixing (either Chrome gets fixed or new display drivers are released).
Q: Where can I find the option to dis-/enable the screen off CRT animation?
A: Settings -> Developer options: set "Window animation scale" to "0.5" or "off"
Q: Is it possible to have Sense widgets?
A: No, not the same Sense ones (this is a different software base). Check Play Store for widgets.
Q: How do I enable/disable Sweep2Wake?
This is disabled by default. To change this, it requires a mounted /system partition.
Use a root-enabled file explorer like the free "ES File Explorer", which has extra root
options to auto-mount it in read/write-mode (thus enable that option).
Then go edit this file as text:
Code:
/system/etc/init.d/89bruce
In it are separate sections for sweep2wake, tun and badass governor, like
Code:
SWEEP2WAKE=0
Change the value 0 to one of the values described right there in the file, read carefully!
Some changed settings can be activated by executing it in a terminal.
If unsure how to do that, do a manual reboot.
Q: The default badass governor behaves differently (or you experience lag)?
Proceed as with above answer, but this time change this line:
Code:
BADASS=2
The default is fairly well for battery, but set value to 1 to activate higher max. frequency.
Q: The camera does not have previous picture sizes, like 16:9?
Oct 25 build has the camera options now also list "8 16:9", "8 5:3" etc.
Q: My facebook app displays wrong/huge fonts?
A: Reported and confirmed by many to be a FB app issue after last weeks FB updates.
Q: My facebook app does not sync?
Syncing was removed by FB some while ago, but can be done by other apps (HaxSync?)
Q: Wifi hotspot does not work?
A: this is currently reported to be broken (Oct 25), but Bruce will certainly take care of it
when he has the time. Please do not report this repeatedly or ask him daily, also
follow the release notes.
Q: Call volume or headphone volume is out of whack?
A1: at least once after rom install, use volume rockers to set max volume and then
back down to normal level.
A2: Settings -> Sound -> uncheck "Safe headset volume"
Q: Can I install BeatsAudio?
A: with some extra package installed, probably (needs an extra sense framework),
search the dev forum for it.
but it might interfere with the built-in "DSP Manager" and cause other issues.
Please reply for answers to add... and hit Thanks if this helped you.
See next posts for more...!
Cheers
Tobias

PART 2:
Q: Better Battery Stats (or other battery app) is showing hours of Alarm Manager Wakelocks attributed to Google Services, what do I do?
A1: please read SkipJacks' post (page 1460!) about an investigation we did the last couple of days about it, excerpt:
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We used System Tuner Pro to disable some of the start up items in the Google Services Framework.
Additionally we froze GTalk and Gnow (Google Search). And no, you can't just freeze those two apps.
The GSF will still create wakelocks when trying to activate them. So you have to modify the GSF as well.
These are the things that I disabled in the GSF using System Tuner Pro (other apps may work as,
such as ROM Toolbox Pro etc., all available in the market).
gtalkservice.diagnostits.gtalkdiagnostics
update.systemupdateactivity
gtalkservice.connection autherrordialog
talk.talkprovider
settings.googlesettingsprovider
gservices.gservicesprovider$override reciever
checkin.checinservices$reciever
checkin.checkinservices$triggerreciever
checkein.eventlogservices$receiver
gtalkservice.diagnostics.gtalkdiagnosticsbroadcast reciever
gtalkservice.serviceautostarter
gtalkservices.datamessagereciever
gtalkservice.sendxmppreciever
gtalkservices.packageinstalledreciever
gtalkservice.xmppendpointreciever
loginservice.serviceswatcher (You might try reactivating this one to see what happens)
usagestates.statsuploadservice$reciever
checkin.evenlogservice
gtalkservice.service.stalkservice
gtalkservice.pushmessagingregistar
You can freeze the GSF entirely with 1 easy step and that will also kill the wakelocks. But the Play Store becomes another casualty if you do that. Disabling the events above will stop the Google Services wakelocks dead in their tracks, and allow the Play Store to continue working. (Though I haven't tried purchasing a paid app yet)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This is based on current 4.1.2 gapps, but may well be valid for previous builds.
A2: In general, unless utterly needed, disable any "sync" settings in individual apps, such as Calendar, Settings -> Google account etc. and don't forget to switch off BT and/or GPS when you don't need it.
Q: My mobile data icon blinks on and off, what do I do?!
T Mobile USA users may experience issues with mobile data going on and off in about 1 second intervals. The "H" will just blink continuously. The problem is how the AOSP framework interacts with the T Mobile USA data network. It is intermitent, and usually cures itself within an hour or two. This will occur in ALL AOSP ICS and JB roms for the Sensation. (CM9, CM10 Variants, AOKP, etc)
While a cure is constantly being researched, nothing final is upon us as of yet. The best thing you can do is turn data off and leave it off for an hour or two and see if it works later. If you must try to fix it right now there are a few things that may help, but understand they are temporary fixes.
Sending yourself a text message.
Calling to your phone.
Making a call from your phone.
Going into airplane mode for a minute then back to normal.
Sometimes these tricks work because they either force the network to either re-register or authenticate your phone. Sometimes they don't work.
If you absolutely positive must have data working right now, flash a Sense or Desensed ROM. This problem does not exist in Sense ROMs.
See this thread for more details about what does and doesn't help.
Q: I have no or issues with WiFi?
A: Read here.
-- BIG thanks to Skipjacks for the above (and me a little )
Q: The dialer/phone or gallery app does not show?
A: Having installed other tweaks or (inverted) gapps may have caused this. Try reverting any changes made.
If this persists, a fresh, clean install should be fixing it in any case.
Q: GPS is not working correctly?
A1: suggested apps to try out: "Faster Fix", "GPS Status" or simialr in market
A2: Settings -> Location access -> GPS source.. there check "Use internal GPS"
A3: "go outside!" (thanks Catnap, that made me laugh!)
-- Thanks to Catnap and darkbasic4
Q: I have a problem with feature X! Is this ROM broken?
A: Can you reproduce the problem after a full wipe, install the ROM (& gapps)? If not, it's not the ROM.
-- Thanks to Konstigt
Q: What to do about slow SD card transfer speeds?
A1: A solution I would recommend: MultiMount SD Card app
A2: Mount USB from within 4ext and transfer's should be at full speed
-- Thanks to MAMeingast and corumuk
Q.: Where did my video/picture/ringtone/music files go? They are on the SDcard but I can't see them in Apollo, the Gallery, etc.
A: Apps will not scan folders for media if they have a hidden file called .nomedia (with the dot in front!) in them.
Certain root apps have been known to put such a file in the main folder of the SD card itself, causing all photos, etc., to vanish. To fix, use a file manager like ES and enable View Hidden Files in the settings. Check the main folder of your SDcard (and others, if you like) and delete .nomedia wherever you want to be able to see media - especially the root directory of the SDcard. Then - and this is important - turn the phone OFF and reboot it (Restart may not be enough). This forces Android to rescan the card and your media will reappear.
-- Thanks to dkephart
Q: I have terrible battery life. After some browsing, phone calls etc. my battery is down from 100% to 50% in just one hour.
A: Do this battery test, charge to 100%. Set display brightness to 100%. Set timeout to 30 minutes. Disable WiFi, Bluetooth, Sync, GPS. Unplug the charger and just leave the phone at the home screen. Touch it after 30 minutes and let it sit for another 30 minutes. If you battery is below <insert a normal batterys percentage here> you might consider a new battery. So it's not the ROM!
(I don't know what actual value is supposed to be there, yikes...)
-- Thanks to Konstigt
Q: What kernel should I install?
A: The rom comes with it's own tweaked kernel (3.0.48 as of Oct 25).
You should not install other kernels, that are not explicitly made for Jelly Bean! The rom's libraries (a higher layer than the kernel) depend mostly on having functions and versions to be on the same "level" and could cause FCs/reboots if something is out of sync.
The Linux kernel contains drivers for: Display, Keypad, Camera, Wifi, Flash Memory, Audio, Power Mgmt etc. and as such it is specific to your phone model (different hardware likes chipsets, display etc.).
The kernel is under constant development, so mostly it's about fixing things, but in rare events there may be an issue introduced with it.
If that happens to you, you could either wait for one of the next frequently updated builds or revert to a previous build if need be.

Contributed by aVe2000 (thank him if it helped you):
- start Google Search|go to Settings|disable Google now
- use a tool like autostarts*|disable everything with gtalk, youtube, picasa uploader and (g)maps in it's name
(other tools also capable of that: Android/System Tuner, ROM Toolbox etc.)
- go to the sync profiles|disable all you do not really need (e.g. mail: sync manually)
- dont use any live wallpapers
- dont use widgets that automatically update its contents
- go to Settings|Performance|Processor|choose BADASS and then ... change init.d/89bruce file for badass to '3'
- additionally disable News & Weather with the autostarts* tool if not needed
- go to Settings|Backup & reset|Disable backup data
- disable all location based stuff or turn off as soon as no longer needed
- go to Settings|Display and disable automatic light adjustments

Just to be sure: if you have a rom build before Sept 5 you should also upgrade to the current build.

We should ask the moderators to delete the posts between the first post and the second part of your FAQ... I already requested the removal of my post! If we leave it like this, people will often not realize that there is a second part...

Ask bruce to add ur thread in his op.. also u didnt answer how to get rid of "g-locks"

It's definitely there. The camera settings' 2nd options screen does show you the "Picture size" option, right?
Clicking the "right" arrow will list "8 16:9", "8 5:3" and "8" then.

@tobitege.. i had to install the gallery 2 apk for it.. but after that when i reflashed the rom it didnt go away.. i dunno what happened b4.. will have to c in later builds if it persists..
And yes i m totally unable to get the 16:9 ratio 8mp camera shot.. as posted by someone to flash a file for it.. it didnt work at all for me.. i think it was toryheal or something.. but can u make out y it doesnt work for me??
Also about the battery.. i just examined it.. i got from 100 to 30 in 1 hours 15 mins with screen on all the time wifi on all the time.. played medium games like jetpack joyride browsed the web.. then i continued to use it on n till i reached 2 %.. suprisingly i got 2 hours 20 mins of "screen on" with 4 hours on battery..on 25th oct build without solving the g-lock issue.. do u think my battery is gone or is it a good battery outcome??

Yes, first try flashing again without any wiping. If that still won't work, a full wipe/fresh install might be needed.

[Q] Evoking 1.8 GAPPS Google play doesn't exist?

I try to upgrade my custom rom from evoking 1.6 to evoking 1.8. But when I installing gapps, the google play doesn't exsist in app draw.

Don't use Evoking 1.8 it's not stable, wait for Evoking v1.9 will come out on 09/05/2013...
Use Evoking 1.7 for daily use...
And about your problem...
I never flash newer version of same ROM without making full wipe because of issues like that -_-
Something went wrong during upgrade and your system is probably messed up...
Make a clean flash + gapps and everything should be working fine, I know since I tried all Evoking versions after 1.6...
And next time post in thread since there is no discussion thread, your Q will be more likely to be answered there

in mobile data's setting, why the android os need a big backgroud connection? in one week they need more than 500mb. did you know about this issue?

The android os by itself does not need any background data connection for functioning. You must have kept 'auto update' on for apps in the Google play, or used data for upload/download heavy files like video.

Did you checked restore backup from google servers?
If you did, @pmvyas is right and you know where the heavy data usage came from, must be the auto-update or something...
check this month to compare if it will do the same..

@pmvyas no, I never activate auto update to each apps, and OTA app in my device already disabled. But when I go to setting - data usage, there an item android os in the top of the list with big number of data

Strange. Do you sync with drop box or any other cloud services? Or tried to update rom OTA ? Re-check google sync or auto update of apps in g play. Can't think of anything else at the moment.

google sync? need big connection sync?

No. Just trying to eliminate causes of background data usage.
Sent from my LG-P500

Can you write names of all downloaded apps?
(We can tell you then where and what to check..)
Sent from my LG-P500 using xda premium

There is only one item in the top of data usage list
Android OS -------- 530Mb
Plume ---------------- 14Mb
etc.

there is an problem with os data usage if you did a factory reset or reseting something, anything saved on google server when you log in will be restored, but that is an 1 day usage at the moment when you log into google, by default, when you had buyed this phone and turn it on first time it was set to backup data to google, so maybe this might be the problem
another problem is if you do alot of thettering, it will increase data usage
some carriers have 3g throttle, mobile data have increased usage, because carriers earn alot from increasing data usage, they benefit, we loose
now some questions:
- do you have battery drain ?
- do you have alot of wakeloks ?
- dou you close from app setings your browser or email app and not letting them run in backround ?
googleling a little I found that this is an ICS problem related to Google backup setting turned on eating alot of data, goto settings, scroll down to backup and reset, uncheck everything
goto settings and check updates only over wi-fi, do not leave mobile data turned on allways, only when is needed, limit it in data usage settings, restrict the background data, restrict some things in account syncing, adds eat alot data(try to install an app for bloking them)
there are many possibilitis, experiment them and give a feedback
OR THE BEST THING IS TO WAIT FOR EVOKING 1.9, JB doesn't have any issues about data drain

there is an problem with os data usage if you did a factory reset or reseting something, anything saved on google server when you log in will be restored, but that is an 1 day usage at the moment when you log into google, by default, when you had buyed this phone and turn it on first time it was set to backup data to google, so maybe this might be the problem
another problem is if you do alot of thettering, it will increase data usage
some carriers have 3g throttle, mobile data have increased usage, because carriers earn alot from increasing data usage, they benefit, we loose
now some questions:
- do you have battery drain ?
- do you have alot of wakeloks ?
- dou you close from app setings your browser or email app and not letting them run in backround ?

thanks for your information bro.
my battery life is about 11-14 hours for normal usage.
I do uncheck all app that running in background including auto-syinc, auto-backup, apps notifications, emails etc.
oh I forget, in the data usage lists, there are two items with big data usage. android os and thettering. they running separately.
I confused with evoking 1.6 and now I flashed my HH to another cust rom while waiting for evoking 1.9 launch. I hope it better than previouse version

Don't use Evoking 1.8 it's not stable

Use Evoking 1.7 for daily use...
And about your problem...
I never flash newer version of same ROM without making full wipe because of issues like that -_-
Something went wrong during upgrade and your system is probably messed up...
Make a clean flash + gapps and everything should be working fine, I know since I tried all Evoking versions after 1.6...
And next time post in thread since there is no discussion thread, your Q will be more likely to be answered there

To my shocking surprise and astonishment, your saying not to use EvoKing 1.8. Well, I just flashed it and I sure would like to know what is unstable about it. Seems fine to me, although I cannot access some settings, and I have to reboot after I install some apps. I'm using SuperCharger & DATA to SD EXT and I was considering using KickAss Kernel.
Seems very stable to me, but it is a fresh install!!!

Extreme battery tweaks

I just sharing my setup for getting maximum from my one plus 6 battery without compromising performance and notification acess.
AFTER FULL TESTING I CAN SUERLY SAY EVERYTHING IS PERFECT I AM FRUSTRATED USER AFTER BUYING ONE PLUS 6 I NEVER GOT FULL DAY BATTERY PHONE DIES IN 10 HR AND 4 TO 5HR SOT.
MY SCREENSHOT SHOWING EVERYTHING NO FAKE NOTHING.
Video guide:
https://youtu.be/BKcZPNqahS0
REQUIREMENT :
1)Rooted
2)TWRP installed
3)Magisk installed
1) Flash magisk based extreme battery friendly ROM:
After installing xxx nolimits ROM finally i come to conclusion that this ROM is combination of performance and battery tweaks which does the 40% job done in our battery saving target
Now this rom is magisk based u have to download and flash magisk based rom zip from following thread if u want to change aspects for what to install what not to be download xxx no limits profile and edit it using filexplorer put it at root of sd card before flashing ROM.
DOWNLOAD LINK:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...xxx-nolimits-1-0-speed-ram-optimized-t3799167
This rom comes with all tweaks to save battery default which includes.
>battery savings build prop properties
>disabling playstore wake locks
>debolting(IF U WANT TO DELBOLT U R OOS ROM AT EXTREME LEVEL U HAVE TO CHANGE xxx no limits profile app that u want to remove just enable debolting by typing 1) NOTE: I AM NOT USING ANY DEBOLTING OF APPS
2)Franco kernel :
Suerly this kernel is god of battery savings kernels and its now available for one Plus 6
Combination of this kernel with NO LIMITS rom is just awesome.
Just flash this kernel in recovery after flashing xxx no limits rom
After reboot go to
> franko kernel updater app > Settings > performance profile > select power saving profile
U can also use balanced profile

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...app&pcampaignid=APPU_1_vB4qW9_eKszlvgT0n5D4Dw
3)BLACKING OUT ROM:
So our phone got amoled screen so we can use this panel to maximize u r battery as per one survey amoled screen with maximum blacked out screen helps SOT to increase up to 2-3 hr and i tested it.
>Use best theme with total backed out link of
Swift black theme given in video description
Or u can download it from play store
OR U CAN USE OZONE SUBTRATUM THEMES WHICH COMES WITH XXX NO LIMITS ROM
>Install theme via subtratum and subtratum app is already available in no limits ROM.
4)ENABLE DOZE MODE FOR GOOGLE PLAY SERVICE :
First u have to check weather u r play services is using doze mode or not
Go to settings >battery> search for play services>see at bottom if its showing using battery optimization then. No need to follow this step
Other wise use this magisk module
Download:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1TUkuYZB8XOahwJI4SAeqqhVCS46tjiQe/view?usp=drivesdk
Download module>go to magisk app> go to modules in left tab> click + icon at bottom then select file u have downloaded
It will get flashed automatically in magisk app then reboot.
5)USE greenify :
Download and enable greenify for most of apps that u don't use except apps like whatsapp, instagram as we need these apps regularly in touch.
(follow video steps in settings)
https://greenify.en.uptodown.com/android
6)MINOR setup :
> WIFI:
Go to settings > wifi> wifi preferences>advanced>Disable always on wifi scanning and disable keep wifi on during sleep
> Disable all vibrations
>Disable autobrrightness mode.
>disable sceen auto rotate mode from Settings
>Disable ambient display
Thats it after all u will get all U r performance without compromising U r battery and notifications.
I will post results with screenshot sooon.....

what repercussions could it have to doze play services? missing notifications or anything?

Yes. You'll have to open each app to start the sync.
Only reason why I haven't kicked play sevices from my device. Some apps even use their own notification system but many rely on these services and that is a PIA.

Thanks but might as well put the phone in the drawer and don't use it.

I'm not sure about this setup. Way to many compromises.
From my experience when you get strong cellular signal and will remove all unnecessary activities, it enough to increase battery performance.

I'm getting better battery then the OP showed in photos. I only turn off all the Google account syncing and just sync contacts and calendar when I make changes. Restrict background data on apps that don't need it. I allow messaging apps, email and anything I need the download in the background like my browser. I'm getting 9 hours sot with 40 hours off charge with combined drain of 1.9%-3.4%. and I'm not neutering my phone like that.

Yeah good point here my result with a good signal and actually no tweak just flashed elementalx kernel or flash kernel ...
Edit : I actually did only the stune tweak !

This is just from today and my averages. Off charge around 8am and it's 1:26pm now

In 8 hr of SOT i continously used my phone mainly i edited my youtube video for complete 2hr using KINEMASTER this apps is major battery sucking app. I made the video uploaded to youtube, used wifi whole the day, using two whatsapp parellel apps syncronizing for each and every second as lots of messages. I never restricting baground process for any app, and not disabling sync of google account. Used camera lots a time, etc
I just installed the ROM and and kerbel from thread and blacked out my theme nothing else, extra tweaks given for major impact.
So its the matter of use what u r using and how u using , if u uses phone mainly for Gaming and heavy tasks then no tweak can work then how can u say u r better.

Your right, it is how you use your phone, but if I use my phone continuously, I have gotten over 13 hours. And WiFi is cheating on battery as it consumes less battery then LTE data signal, I'm never on WiFi... 100% always on data. I usually have 2+ hours of calls, YouTube throughout the day, Whatsapp with Photos and voice along with video, 30-50 emails a day with replies about 2 hours of web surfing. This is a typical day of work as 80% of that is for work. So not a gamer but I am a pretty heavy user throughout the day.
And you talk about Extreme Battery Tweaks and you don't do the simplest things like restrict background data on apps that have no need or business constantly syncing with nothing to sync? Seems odd.
Again based on your photo of usage... that shows significantly less use then what I do and still get more battery without Neutering my phone. You have nothing but your screen on, it's all phone idle and Android OS and Android system and cell standby all higher then any app or anything else. If mine looked like that I'd have 12 hours sot or more.
Oh and this was a light day as I was already heading home at 1:30pm today. I was more showing you my averages.

This is truly true. I also found out, that it makes a difference between watching a black screen and performing heavy tasks. Until now I was not totally sure, but you convinced me in this point. Thanks a lot.
Also thank you for your valuable contribution to this forum. I refer to #1:
Since you obviously know a lot about different tweaks of different roms and how they exactly work, could you perhaps elaborate on that? I would like to know how exactly the battery saving tweaks work, especially when compared to them of other roms. Also, how exactly the franco kernel performs so battery friendly compared to other kernels. For example, which settings do you apply (except “powersaving-mode”) and which tweaks of this kernel are responsible for this behavior compared to other kernels. Furthermore, why a franken-, flash- or other kernel are not battery-saving to the same extent.
As far as I understand, the combination xXx No Limits and Franco is the only correct one, if I understood #1 correctly (concerning battery life of course). This suggests that you also know other combinations. Please substantiate your claim and go deeper in your explanations to understand your modest determination correctly, as you really seem to know much about this topic.
Thank you again for sharing your expertise with us.

hi, I have rooted my oneplus 6 running on OOS 5.1.9. I have flashed the franco kernel. After installing the franco kernel updater its showing that my device is not supported. Also it doesnt show any performance profile in the menu. Cant you please help me in this regard? here are the screenshots:

Not that I've ever seen or heard of. It only takes about 5 in to go through them and set it up.

Guys i switched to liquid remix rom and its insanely battery friendly rom, give that rom a try along with tweaks.
Definitely mind blowing

I did not use any of this and I still can get 6.5hrs of SOT, without compromising anything,(not even using black theme).

[GUIDE] Ways to decrease battery drain for poco

Hello guys,
I am happy to share some ways to decrease battery drain for which is problem for most poco stock miui non root users:
1- Go to every app you don't want on background (always active) and make it (restricted backgroud activity) through Settings-Manage app-choose your app-battery saver
2- For system app: you can do the same by going Settings-Manage app-choose your app-permissions-information icon-battery-choose first option and then restrict app
3- Network signals some times drains battery alot, you could decrease it by changing network bands by the following:
Go to dialer and write (*#*#4636#*#*)-phone information-set preferred network-choose LTE\CDMA\UMTS auto prl (tested on global rom was good), note that you need to change it again after every reboot
4- Disable adaptive limit battery option through Setting-battery&perfomance
5-Activate force close button through Setting-additional setting-buttons&gestures-close current app and choose shortcut you want, then at any app you should force close when you are finished with it.
6- Go to every MIUI app and disable automatic updates and recommendation receive
7- Disable location when you are finished through Setting-additional settings-privacy-location and also disable wifi scanning after every disable
8- Go to Google app through Settings-Google and disable every activity on it as you can
9- Install Greenify app from store and work with (non root device) and hibernate all apps you don't need as background
10- Disable automatic brightness, and also decrease the brightness as you can to save power
11- Go to settings-additional settings-privacy-special access-Battery optimization and then make all apps (optimized)
12-Go to settings-additional settings-authorization&revocation and then disable all apps except (updater-system app updater-feedback-battery&performance-Xiaomi sim activation-settings)
I hope these steps could help you and I'm waiting your comments for additional ways or correcting anything

Any review or test results ?

Just wondering wtf is even benefit of 4000mah battery if we need to disable every single app to get battery life. It's their optimisation not good with the latest stable build of miui

Its not their thing its an android thing. It gets heavier with every update, and since they (its a good thing gone bad) made a lot of those updates standalone of android version it makes like old tablets unusable over the yeras unlike them ipads.
That being said, the advantage of having 4000mah battery is that you still get through every day and have more than the usual midrange 3000mah phone. I get through any day for weeks now even playing games. The tips in this thread are awesome and apply to any phone.

I might as well advise you to clean your USB type-c port once in a while with toothpick since dusts can cause unnecessary wakelocks to your device

Dust in the port really causes wakelocks. For proof, visit the BBS thread.

Instead of doing all these, just spend a few bucks and get a powerbank.

Hi magaedy, this list is very useful thank you very much.
Thanks to a RF detector, i found out that my Poco was emitting very often without being sollicited, now I know what to try first.
(In case you are interested in my setup, you can have a look on YouTube searching JaMa6iK4lbM).
Again thanks a lot, this forum is really interesting.

Hi magaedy, no, the Pocophone F1 has nothing special regarding its RF electromagnetic radiation, it is just that I own one and that I can do some tests with it. In terms of SAR (Specific Absorption Rate), the Poco even complies with the FCC threshold which is the most stringent.
As a personal point view, i would just avoid to keep it onto my body when i must upload big files, or onto my head for long phone calls, especially when i'm not sure about the RF coverage (bad coverage implies that the mobile emits at its full power, which is e.g. 2 watts in GSM 900).
Depending on my LED light, now I can tell for sure
Rgds,

1.Uninstall unused apps
2.Force stop every app
3.turn on airplane mode when u r not use phn.
4.stop few sensor-brightness,gyro,ambient(if there is any software to stop sensor forcefully pls reffer)
5.User suggest BO,i suggest battery optimize must be off
6.use magisk lkt-battery
7.*DONT PLAY PUBG* its a battery hunger demon.

I would also wanted to add some battery saving tips:
1. Stick to only one, either Google or MIUI, cloud sync provider then disable everything you don't need on the other.
2. Go to Settings -> Permissions -> Other permissions -> Permissions (tab) -> Start in Background. Only choose the apps that you wanted permissions to receive notifications or third-party sync apps regularly. Others should be disabled. (IDK if this conflicts with MIUI's battery saver but I did it anyway).
3. Disable Double tap to wake or enable it in combination with pocket mode.
4. Put your phone on your pocket with display facing your leg. Prevents false trigger of FP scanner.

I have another suggestion. If using a custom ROM, don't install GApps. Instead use MicroG . I haven't done a side by side comparison, and I'll admit my usage today has been fairly lite, but so far my battery life is great!
I'm running the latest AOSiP ROM.
