S4 I337 Improved Battery Life on NB1 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General

Hey folks. I wanted to take a quick minute and fill you in on the incredible battery life of my s4.
EDIT: Completely revamped methods to achieve desired results
Apps you will need:
Greenify (Paid)
Tasker (Paid)
Both can be found in the Play Store.
I do not have stats or screens at this time, due to flashing roms, nandroid dumps, etc... so after things settle down I will retest and post my screenshots.
Here are the basics:
#1 Download and install both apps above. Yes, they are not free, but are well worth it, restart after installing Tasker
#2 Open up Greenify (Allow Root access), and select all the apps you wish to allow it to "Hibernate", then hit the ZZzzz button to hibernate them all, to make sure they actually get hibernated.
#3 While still in Greenify, hit your menu button to get into the settings (this is where the paid version comes in handy...), and select 'Enable Experimental Features'. This will allow you to set the app to "Wake Up" tasks and apps for notifications. If you don't need this, then don't worry about it.
#4 Now here's where the fun begins! Open up Tasker (Allow Root access), and import the profiles I have attached. (explanation of what they do below...). Just Unzip it, and Import the profile in the Profile Tab

This makes me a sad panda! Stock NB1 has the crappiest battery life I've seen. I can't use Safestrap because my device has to be encrypted.

I'm on the rooted stock NB1 with SS and was curious how to remove the AT&T bloatware...how would one go about that? Also, can you get rid of the Samsung bloatware too?

Have you tried encrypting it with a custom NB1 rom?
I was in a discussion yesterday about that, and really did not know what the answer was, only because I don't need to do that with my daily driver If I had a spare S4, I would try it out though.
Stock definately has crappy battery life, but there are still things you can use without root that will help. Snapdragon (the processor company for the S4), put out BatteryGuru which from what I've read works pretty well after the 2 day learning period.
You can also go through your settings -> applications and turn off alot of stuff, especially notifications as those tend to put a drain on these.
I just upgraded my device to the latest Deadly Venom, so these numbers I initially posted may change... but somehow I doubt it
Good luck

I've already gone through and turned off as much as I can but unfortunately there's still a lot of bloatware that cannot be disabled. The 4.4.2 root method mentioned in another thread talks about the same downgrade method but ultimately Safestrap has to be used.
I also toggle my data every chance I get and have a wakelock/battery app running. My S1 and S2 were so easy to mod but ever since the decision was made to lock the boot loader on the S4, things have gone to crap for this phone.

Hey, if it's possible the KT kernel would help out. I know this isn't the best place to ask, but if you can then that would make nb1 better.

My question is, silly me, WHY root? I ask because I rooted an HD2 previously and a Nook Color but in those cases I was gaining functinality I did not have. In the case of the HD2 it was a disaster, which is why I'm now on the Galaxy.
Why root GalaxyS 4g? For the Voodoo Control Plus app if nothing else. My phone sounds unbelievable now. Great app for a noobie like me. Just download from the market.

There are many reasons to root this device.
you can remove all the crap apps that T-mobile put on the phone. (all it does is slow it down)
Load custom ROM's
Install apps that require root access.
Change the look of the phone by theme mods
OverClock the device to make it run faster. (requires custom kernel)
undervolt the device to make it more efficient on the battery. (requires custom kernel)
Make back-up of the phone incase anything goes wrong.
there are other reasons I am sure, but these are some of the main reasons for me.
The reason I rooted my phone was to do a fota fix, now I have 400 mbs of space to download apps, I also got an ad blocker

[MOD - 6/27] Multitasking Mod *v2* - Improve Multitasking Performance

It should improve multitasking performance on any 1.88 Based ROM. It would prolly work on just about any ROM base but TBH but I have only tried it on the 1.88 base.
Version 2 - 6/27/2012
This new version incorporates the values suggested by Calkulin.
You do not need to revert with undo.zip first. You can just flash this over.
Although I have not had time to test this mod in depth I believe it will outperform V1 now knowing what Calkulin has taught!

Version 1
I simply removed these lines from the sh script. Nothing else was touched. The red line is for our device.
Code:
echo "0,2,4,7,9,12" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/adj
case "$hardware" in "elite")
[B][I][COLOR="Red"]echo "7746,9720,11694,13742,15715,24709" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree[/COLOR][/I][/B]
;;
esac
case "$hardware" in "ville")
echo "7946,9953,11960,14008,16015,25108" > /sys/module/lowmemorykiller/parameters/minfree
;;
esac
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I have also included an "Undo" zip to replace the .sh file with an original untouched file straight from the stock ROM. You may want to back yours up manually. The file is located in /system/etc/.
You may want to check with your favorite ROM Dev to ensure this mod will not over write any tweaks they have placed in the ROM. This will work on any CleanROM 3.x version.
Needless to say this mod will not make your phone handle 1,000 apps simultaneously but it will allow Android to handle the memory as it would on any other phone without any modifications from HTC.
Hit Thanks!

You might want to hold on that. The mod improves the multitasking functionality by a bit, but not significantly.
Previously, before this mod, only the last used app will be cached in memory at most. With this mod, I can cache more apps in memory (depends on the apps opened and cached). So far, once the app is 4th place and beyond, the memory is immediately cleared. I'm using it with Kobra rom, but I look forward to Scott's new update to see if multitasking will be improved significantly. I'll be testing it more in the afternoon when I have more time.
Still very useful if you're flipping back and forth between 2 apps and a big thanks like Scott for making for making this mod.
I can cache more then that,
Edit I opened a lot of apps and most of them can be cached, the only apps that didn't stay in memory were Facebook and Instagram and that's only because they were coded that way(I think)
Facebook is different because if I cache on news feed it'll redraw but when viewing a picture it'll remain frozen in time.
This mod is fo weal fo weal

My record was 5, 6 if you count lbe privacy guard.
System panel, Netflix, Facebook, Twitter, and of course.. xda premium
Edit: sorry to keep spamming your thread Scott but I just wanted to say that this mod plus cleanRom dev edition.. is pure win. All the function I really want from sense and not a lick more (maybe that's why my apps cache lol). Plus I don't have to add all my usual favorite tweaks (gradient, themes, etc) all I add to this is the hd YouTube and a little tinkering with cpueditor and I'm cooking bacon.

I ll give it a try! Thanks
Thank you Scott, will try this with CleanROM tonight!
Thanks for the mod! I actually edited the sh file on cleanrom 2.6 se and it's working great (didn't want to flash your zip in case the script file from 1.88 is different than the one in 1.85).
Multitasking is noticeably better.
Interested to hear from more people on how well the phone runs with this. I was under the impression that sense is a resource hog and robs ram to run smooth. Allocating more to apps, affected at all ?

I haven't noticed any difference at all in the Modaco ROM. I'll probably jump back to CleanROM when 3.1 is out to compare.
I'm able so far to cache 4 and then the 5th gets cleared.

ok so this works awesome
multitasking is actually useful now
even if it's only 3 or 4 apps, that makes a world of difference from how it was

[Q] Touchwiz Vs Stock

So I have been on Touchwiz 4.1.2 (AxisM RLS 21) for a long time and when the GEL laucher apk came out I installed it on my phone and I fell in love with it as soon as I got it and that got me wondering..."What features of Touchwiz do I actually use?" If I dont use any features of Touchwiz then I want to flash a 4.4 ROM (most likely Cyanogen Mod) on my S3. So my question to you is What features are specific to Touchwiz (4.1.2) that arent in Stock (4.4) or on Cyanogen Mod?

not just that but knox is like a sandboxed environment essentially separating 2 parts of your phone
for like example 1 work and 1 for development if one of them gets compromised it wont affect the other and you can manage things like remote wipe etc

You lose all of the Samsung branded apps, Kies, and the questionable smart stay function. In return, you get complete control of your device. I have tried a few times to go back to a TW rom in the last year (when CM development slows down and I get bored), but it always feels like going back to kindergarten...
I am on sspencer10's 4.4 build and love it. I even am using the new ART and enjoying the best battery life and smooth function that I have ever had. A few CM options have yet to be thrown in, but these guys are moving fast, and this is my daily driver since last week.

After months of fearing the rooting process, I pulled the trigger last night and rooted my phone for the first time. I flashed a rom (Liquid Smooth to be specific) and I'm loving it. You should definitely get off of TouchWiz as you'll never want to go back!

I saw the OP and I saw that the changelog hasnt been updated in a while. If you dont mind can you tell me what are the bugs and whatnot on it?
The OP in that thread is current. He just does not build everyday because CM does not do a lot daily. Others are cherry picking a lot to add features; they also revert a lot of stuff they cannot get to work. Right now, the camera is not ultra reliable, but everything else is great right now. I use nova, tibu, ROM manager, es file explorer, etc. for utility. 200 or so other apps are stable as well.

Please see attached images from my Huawei 5Mp camera (resized for upload to XDA) ... firstly stock Camera app v2.0.002, then secondly Lenovo SnapIt v3.5.6. Both images are 2592x1944px but original stock Camera photo is 850Kb whereas original SnapIt photo is 2.18Mb. For all the difference I can (not) see, I think I'll just stick with the stock Camera app (its a lot less confusing
Look at the center building and you can see the different. Snapit Look better.
They look the same to me too.

[DISCUSSION] Clean Master

I was wondering if people have proof that Clean Master is making your device cleaner and faster?
Is it not an app that just steal personal data or is it really working.
I have rooted and rommed devices so I install scripts to make my devices faster.
Are there other people that are using this?

Some people swear by Clean Master....other people swear at it . It certainly removes things but whether or not this improves your device performance probably depends a lot on your device and how you use it.
The introduction of CM Security certainly changed the way a lot of people view Clean Master, because now Clean Master asks you to install CM Security and vice versa...which is kind of spammy. I know that they collect data off the devices but they claim that it is kept private and never sold to 3rd parties...
I don't feel that I need the Clean Master regularly and therefore I install it from time to time. It's a convenient tool for applications backup, checking the system on viruses and removing remains of uninstalled apps. It could release some ram too, but that effect is temporally and not really needed considering the way the Android functions.

I agree, but the virus stuff is totally fake .
They are just scanning their blacklist of apps that don't suite with their company.
Some apps that are high known banned apps that we can recognize self without scanners.
Apps that offering a function to free up ram memory are also not essential because since 4.0+ is that possible in Android built in system.
( some devices with earlier android versions also )
The only two functions that let me consider installing the app are:
Backup apps without manual actions ( root required )
And clean up junk files

How true. Even viruses are not much a concern since they are rare on Android and other vulnerabilities such exploits and security flaws are not covered by antivirus tools. Fortunately they are remedied by Google from time to time. Removing junk files and apps backup is what the Clean Master is good at.

Exactly maybe they should make an app that is called "Working Master"
With the following functions:
- Clean junk files
- Disk analyzer
- Wipe call and sms data
- Wipe cache
- Battery Stats
- Proxy enabler for better and secure browsing
- Backup apps and restore them
- Benchmark tool
And the most important thing ! ; the beautiful user interface of Clean Master

Totally agree. It would be nice to have it. Perhaps proxy could be replaced with enough capable and fast VPN though.:good:

I like the user interface of clean master really much
I like Clean Master and keep it on my Device all the time. It's a very good android tool and very essential (did I go a little overboard on that? xD)

I've tried Clean Master, and have seen no noticeable difference.
Everything this is the same, I honestly think the only good ram cleaning application is the old school "CacheMate"

I have been using cleanmaster for a while. Perfect at cleaning hidden junk but it affects my ram negatively. It is such a memory hog. As for the game booster it cleans up the ram but doesn't maintain it... Background apps autostart and ram is full again. Just useless
