I have had my phone for just over a week.
I have no complaints. I just need more time to get used to the different UI after my HTC Vivid.
Battery life is great, I can get around two days with moderate use and about 3 hours screen on time.
I don't notice any lag or overheating. I have not yet inserted an SD card and not sure I am going to need with all the available space.
I have not rooted yet, everything is stock except that I loaded ART yesterday to give that a try.
Those of you have rooted/de-bloated after using the phone for some time (not those who rooted before leaving the store!) how much real difference did you notice in performance before and after?
Not sure it makes a difference as far as speed. My reasoning, I don't use those apps so why keep them. Also I don't want spy software on my phone with carrier iq.
yea also get Greenify. it will give you more control over what and when do your apps get to run. You will save more battery and free up more ram.

Debloating and using greenify helps my battery a good amount.

Yes indeed. About an hour to an hour and a half more. That's what i'm seeing at any rate. 45 hours between charges @ 5 hours of screen time.
There are many tweaks that I routinely apply to my phone that requires root or root apps. I feel limited without them
Anyone know how to hibernate Facebook on the g3. It's considered a system level app

It is in the greenify donation package if you also use xposed framework.

or...
you could uninstall it with root uninstaller, reinstall from the play store then it shouldn't be considered a system ap.

Same as the post above this one, except I used titanium backup.

I agree. I should have saved some of my battery stats prior to rooting, de-bloating, and installing greenify, but I can say with certainty that my battery performance has improved noticeably.

In addition to battery life, I've also noticed a slight improvement in performance due to the bloatware not running in the background.

Thanks all.
I will probably get to it soon. I just want to make sure I can follow how to get everything back to stock should the need arise.
I switched to ART a few days ago. Yesterday I got 40 hours with an estimated 8 hours left with the battery on 42% and SOT of 3h37m.
Today I was on wifi surfing from early plus some longer phone calls. Currently on 9h usage with 36h estimated left and SOT of 2h25m.
So things can only get better if I debloat.
You can disable all the preloaded apps without rooting. I seriously doubt rooting and deleting the apks is going to do anything besides free up space.

you couldn't be more wrong... for one thing, getting rid of the carrierIQ crap requires root and it alone makes a world of difference. some of the things eating up resources can't simply be "disabled" in the Application Manager.
Hi everybody !
I'm new on this forum, so please tell me if I do something wrong.
Since approximately one month I have problems with my Nexus 5's battery, and a poor screen-on time (+/- 45 min).
I run stock Lollipop 5.0, with ElementalX r70 kernel, and I have the MultiRom mod installed, which I use sometimes to try different ROMs.
I didn't notice differences between stock and custom ROMs, but I didn't try for a long time.
May someone be able to help me ?
My Nexus 5 is one year old, I hope I won't be obliged to change the battery.
Thank you.
The first way you need to do is checking your wakelock in detail by using some apps like GSam Battery Monitor, or Better Battery Stat, you can find them both in Play Store.
See the sticky, first four posts plus last few pages.

Hello,
I flashed Slimsaber rom a couple days to try and enjoy Lolipop (battery life was horrible for me on stock cm 12.1).
All in all, it's a great tool and I get good battery life.
However I noted that overnight there is this unknown (to me) am that eats my battery while the phone is not in use.
Couldn't find info on it, I'm guessing dire the it's name that made it quite a pain to research.
Any clue, help appreciated.
Screens attached
Edit: apparently can't add images, so in a bind here
App info :
Cancel
cyanogenmod.platform
/system/framework/org.cyanogenmod.platform-res.apk
version 5.1.1-4d2f613529
on a full cycle it uses up to 30% of the battery, more than the screen.

Hi XDA
Recently got CM 13 on the G2 and I'm happy with it.
I know there's been updates regarding app hibernation and general battery optimization in Marshmallow so I was wondering if it made sense to use the usual Greenify to hibernate apps, Amplify to reduce wakelock frequency and Recently to reduce recent menu clutter.
Thanks in advance.

i would run it a bit and get an idea of your battery life compared to what it was. my phone came with m, si i cant compare, but my battery seems quite good.
a good question would be what besides doze did they add, and what of these was cm able to merge.
as far as doze, that only works when the phone sits in the same place for extended periods, like at night when your sleeping. thats what i was told anyways.
You are right !! Doze works only when the phone sits idle at one place. Hence greenify is still one popular app to have in our phones.
I think it does.
For example if you have low RAM and many apps you can avoid a lot of lag.
I use greenify on CM13 in my Nexus 7.
Hey guys, sup?
So, Today I updated my Galaxy J7 SM-J700M and the device looks good on marshmallow, runs smoothly (some apps take more time to load like settings, phone, mesages), but my battery is draining incredibly faster. In Lollipop, I made 20 hours per charge, using moderated, 14-16h in hard use. Now in Marshmallow update, in 2 hours my battery drain over 40%.
Anyone have the same issue? Any sugestion to solve this? I am disappointed with this update...
Welcome to the club ???
