Lets Start with a few basic settings.
Display​Display brightness is an important factor in battery life.The more brighter the screen is,the more juice it drains.So keep the brightness under control.Using automated brightness is not adviceable.Try manually adjusting the screen brightness.Using dark wallpapers(on AMOLED display) can help you save some bit of juice.
Cell Network​This is simple stuff,but results in noticeable improvement in battery life.Toggle LTE/3G to 2G while not in use.(While on WiFi).You can use Smart Network to switch between networks.
For devices that support Fast Dormancy(Read Here) can disable it to save some juice on 3G.(Link to disable Fast Dormancy for Xperia Devices)
Wifi​Even if your wifi is off,the phone searches for signal.To switch off this feature,go to Settings > Wifi > Options(Top right corner) > Advanced >Scanning always available(Off).
Location​Another juice sucker in Android-Location Services.You can turn it off while not in use.That saves a lot off juice.You can also set the location to 'Device Only" in settings.
Navigate to Settings->Location->Menu->Scanning->Turn off "Wi-Fi Scanning" and "Bluetooth Scanning"
These are the basic stuffs one must look into before complaining about their battery.
Is your battery gauge lying to you?:Take a look at this link.This thread explains why you get sudden drain after waking up from sleep.Many people should've noticed that the battery drains faster after keeping the phone idle for some time.It is very informative and is worth a read.

Xposed Framework​Xposed Framework is essential as it is required fo proper working of Greenify,Amplify and PowerNap.If you're running android 4.0.3+ you'll be able to run Xposed Framework on your device.It has an initial Lollipop support.Xposed Installer is required for functioning of the apps mentioned in the guide.
Downloads:
Xposed Installer 4.0-4.4.x
Xposed Framework 5.0.x-6.0.x
Xposed 5.1.x-6.0.x(TouchWiz)
Find the support for the framework in Xposed for Lollipop and Xposed for MarshMallow threads.
Greenify​Thanks to @oasisfeng for such an awesome app.The latest 2.9.2beta update brings the feature to disable the motion scanning in doze.
You can use Greenify to hibernate apps that are not in use.You can use Donation Package of Greenify which includes lots of features.Once you have a Donation Package with you,you need to activate the Greenify Xposed Module in Xposed.Once done,enable the Boost mode and Experimental Features.See attached screenshots.

Greenify the apps that eatup battery by running in background(Refer BBS)
Below are some of the major drainers:
Browser
Facebook
Facebook Messenger
Google+
Hangouts
Hike
Instagram
Maps
UC Browser
Marshmallow Settings
@oasisfeng introduced a new feature in Greenify 2.9 beta 1 which disables the "Motion Sensing" of doze.This can be achieved by turning ON the "Aggressive Doze" in Greenify settings.Unlike the default behaviour of doze,the device won't be kicked out of doze when a motion is detected.This helps in complete utilization of "doze".All you have to do is to enable the "Aggressive Doze" option in Greenify settings.See the attached screenshots.
Apps to be whitelisted in doze are being tested.You can also contribute in testing

There's no need to hibernate all the apps.Do not Greenify Dialer or Messaging apps

Amplify​Amplify is a genius in handling wakelocks and alarms.It is also capable of blocking services.Amplify is the best battery saver I've come across.It is a must have app for all droids running Xposed.
You'll need a donation package to block wakelocks and alarms.

Power Nap​Power Nap for Xposed is the SONY's stamina mod for non-Sony devices.When your screen is off, Power Nap maximizes your device's deep sleep time by stopping services, alarms and wakelocks from waking the device when the screen is off.You can get notification from the apps you've whitelisted.
NOTE:In order to download the app you need to join the alpha testers community in Google+ here and opt to become a tester.Then you'll be able to download and run the module
NB:XDA Thread for PowerNap is closed down due to lack of activity from the developer.
Set the Endurance Mode to Always ON.
You can use Power Nap along with Greenify and Amplify for a better sleep time.You have whitelist both Greenify and Amplify for proper working of both the modules.
If you need certain apps to run in background while screen off(eg:Instant Messengers),you have to whitelist them in Power Nap.
List of apps to be whitelisted:
Amplify
AndroidSystem
BetterBatteryStats
Cyanogenmod System
GooglePlayServices
Google Services Framework
Google Account Manager
Greenify
Greenify Donation Package
Trebuchet

Frequently Asked Questions​Search before posting:If you are having any issues after following the GUIDE,use the "Search" function in the thread and see if someone had the issue and is already solved.This saves your time and mine too
1.Reporting Logs
I recommend using BetterBatteryStats to report logs and dumps.Here's how you should report dumps in this thread.I request to follow the exact method so that it is easy for me to debug issues.
Note:Update BBS to latest version from the XDA thread.
Charge your device to 100 and unplug the device from the charger.
Keep WiFi/Mobile Data ON.(Leave the sync settings as per your usage pattern)
Leave it idle for atleast 6 hours(Do not turn on the screen during these period).
Choose "Unplugged" as a start reference and "Screen On" OR "Current" as stop reference(Refer Screenshots)
Pull a TextDump File from BetterBatteryStats.(Refer Screenshots)
You'll find the dump in the root of your SDCard.Post the dump in the thread.
Use
hide[/ hide] tags while posting screenshots.This makes the thread look a bit more clean and easy to read.
Readme for BBS:
*Make sure you have disabled the Enable while Charging option in BBS->Settings->Advanced
Screenshots:
2.What if I don't find all the wakelocks/alarms in Amplify as listed in the OP?
It'll take a day or two for the alarms/wakelocks to populate in Amplify.So report back after a day or so.
As the apps and services running depends on each person's setup you may not find all the wakelocks/alarms listed in the thread.
Known Issues​
Delayed PUSH Notifications:If you encounter any delayed Push Notification from any app after using this thread,try PushNotificationFixer(PNF).If the problem persists,do report in the thread
SystemUpdateService Wakelock:If you are affected by SystemUpdateService wakelock issue.Use my fix here
For more easy fix for the same issue.See here
MobileRadioActive Bug:If AndroidOS the top consumer during idle(as shown in the inbuilt battery stats) and the 'Mobile Radio Active' shows high numbers,you can use this Xposed Module to fix the issue.
Android Marshmallow only
WiFi battery drain reported:High WiFi drain,even while it is turned off in Settings.
Refer:https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=189018

So you're recommending selecting individual services in Servicely - do you know which ones are safe to stop?
Or, in other words, which ones are the biggest causes of wakelocks - I've got a Samsung Lollipop device so I have no Xposed, and therefore no Amplify. I would love to be able to stop the NetworkLocationProvider services.

I'll update the OP later,with the Hit-List in Servicely.

Suscribed, thanks for the thread !

Theres really no need to run Greenify + Amplify + Servicely as well, why use 3 programs which all have parts that do what the other 2 do? To me thats madness, your actually adding cycles and memory use and raising the possibility of less battery time by doing so.
I run Amplify and Servicely, but i use AutoStarts to tweak things before i even touch Amplify or Servicely...if it doesnt run at startup or triggered by an intent, then theres no need to touch it with Amplify or Servicely. I only use Amplify and Servicely to handle the apps that i run manually or have to have their intents left alone for interactivity with other apps.
Just the way i do it. I got rid of Greenify weeks ago as it became obvious it was no longer necessary with Amplify & Servicely running.

In the case of Servicely,the GCM push is a hit or miss.Blocking the apps having GCM push may stop the push notifications.So can't rely completely on Servicely.With Servicely we can't block alarms or Wakelocks.Its required that we use Amplify for that.
I won't recommend to remove Greenify.I've asked in the thread to Greenify only the apps having GCM push.This keeps the Push Messaging alive.
The fact is that Servicely runs a small service in background.It doesn't even show up in battery stats.So no need to worry about battery loss.
And using Greenify+Servicely is because of the fact that Greenify doesn't actually stops the service.It hibernates the apps.That's why I've asked to Hit-List the apps that you don't want to run without starting it manually.
So that's my point.

Honor 8 - EMUI 4.1 - Chrome notifications

Hello,
Is anyone on Honor 8 / EMUI 4.1 able to get chrome notifications?
I've been checking Chrome settings and found nothing wrong, expect for the fact I don't seem to be able to add chrome to the list of apps that can ignore battery optimization, since it is not listed. I'm not sure if this is the reason though.
Please share your ideas / suggestions.
RM

It's because Chrome is a system app already so it is by default protected. Except it doesn't even work correctly probably because of their ram management, which kind of make this phone useless for receiving notification for me.
I tried adding Google Clock and S-Health to protected apps and also lock it in the "recent apps" menu, they still get forced close and the alarm didn't ring or it stopped counting steps.
I haven't used EMUI5 yet to know if it's fixed.

Hello!
Solution found! The hint (system app) of the previous post made me try this:
1-Uninstall Chrome (using TiBu - root needed)
2-Reinstall Chrome from Play Store
3-Configure settings to allow notifications from wanted pages
4-Add Chrome to the list of apps that can ignore battery optimizations
So far it is working as expected...
About the other notification issues I've faced before (Google Keep, WhatsApp,...) I've solved it after enabling "keep mobile data on when sleeping", besides adding the app to the ignore battery optimization list, of course.
RM

I have found that same exempt setting as well, unfortunately Chrome isn't in the list so I guess that's why you have to root to remove it first and readd it as third party app for it to show up.
To much effort to just get notification working, a basic feature of all phones and risk losing warranty and Android Pay access.
To make it clear for others:
1. add the app to the Protected apps list (settings - advanced settings - battery manager - protected apps).
2. go to settings - apps - advanced - exempt from battery optimization - select the drop down list and and select "all apps" - find your app and set it to allow.
Huawei programmers must have pride themselves in putting settings inside convoluted maze that's impossible to find.

You might also want to add Settings - Advanced Settings - Battery Manger - Upper right gear - keep mobile data on during sleep.
I second you about this kind of maze that we must run to just have notifications, but, on the other hand I'm kind of OK with it, as soon I can find a way to solve matter!

[APP][4.0+][ROOT optional] SystemPanel2: It does not "BOOST". It does not "CLEAN".

[APP][4.0+][ROOT optional] SystemPanel2: It does not "BOOST". It does not "CLEAN".
SystemPanel is a tool to help manage your device, improve battery life, and keep it running fast by monitoring application activity. SystemPanel v1 has been in development since 2009; this is v2, and is a complete re-imagining of the idea. V2 is beta, under development, and suggestions and bug reports are greatly appreciated!
SystemPanel does NOT "clean" or "boost" your phone. Well, maybe it does, but even having been a full-time independent Android app developer writing system utilities for nearly a decade, I still haven't figured out what those terms mean. It won't magically double your battery life, but SystemPanel gives you the ability to visualize what's consuming resources. It might show you that some game or app is running full-bore long after you think you've stopped playing and turned the screen off. Or it might show you that some tool running in the background to "boost" your phone is actually only boosting your battery gauge toward zero. Or you might find that your phone and its apps are working perfectly, but it can still offer insight into which activities drain your battery most quickly.

Overview
.
The main "overview" screen shows a brief summary of device status. Items on this screen include an overview of the top apps/processes right now, CPU/network usage, and a short history of battery drain rate and resource usage.
Tap any section to see more detail. (The hamburger menu can also be used to switch between screens at any time.)
Live
.
The "Live" screen is divided into two sections, "Running" and "Status". The "Running" screen shows a list of active apps and processes. You can tap on any app to see details about its current activity, history, installation info, etc. Long-press for a quick-access menu.
The "Status" screen shows basic device status information. CPU/Network/Memory consumption data, Wi-Fi/Cellular signal, and device temperatures.
History
.
The "History" section lets you see a week-long history of device activity. You can visually observe app/display activity over time and compare it to battery performance. The plots can be scrolled and pinch-zoomed. Switch from the "Activity" tab to "Top Apps" to see a complete list of what was running during a particular time period. The top 3 apps/processes are always shown on the "Activity" tab as well.
Note: you'll need to let SystemPanel record some history for a day or so before you'll see any meaningful data from this feature.
Analysis
The "Analysis" section is a bit experimental at the moment, it's under heavy development. The idea is to show you a picture of the recent history (last two hours or so) of your device in order to alert you to any recent battery-draining applications. In the Analysis section, SystemPanel itself processes history data and calls attention to problem items. There's more to come here.
Apps
"Apps" shows you installed applications on your device. Root users can disable apps directly here.
You can also "archive" applications to user storage and reinstall older versions (it turns out not all updates are good). Currently this feature is limited to backing up the APK itself, but I hope to improve this.
The "Permissions" section of the apps page shows you apps listed by the permission groups they use. Root users can enable/disable permissions for Android 6+ apps.
App Details
.
.
Clicking on any app or process item (of any SystemPanel screen) takes you to the App details screen. Here you can see details of the app's installation and permissions, its current resource utilization, its resource use over the past week, and its current storage use.
A services tab lists all services provided by the app. Root users can disable individual services. This can be useful for blocking OTAs to customized devices or turning off other undesirable items.
Device
.
The "Device" panel shows system information about your device.
NOTES
Privacy: no information recorded by SystemPanel ever leaves your device. Everything recorded is for *YOUR USE* and is not sent to anyone else, ever.
Root Access: SystemPanel does not require root. On Android Nougat (7.0) and later, root is extremely beneficial as Nougat restricts all access to running process information. SystemPanel wll work on Nougat without root, but its capabilities are limited.
Ads: You can use the app in ad-supported mode for free, and there's a "Plus" key if you want to remove the ads. The ads are Google AdMob "Native" ads. They don't animate or annoy, and are designed to blend into the design of the app (all ad content is however specifically marked as ad content). When the Plus key is installed, the ad engine is not even initialized.
Permission Usage
Close other apps: Used for "end process" feature.
Google Services: Required by in-app-billing/AdMob. Not used elsewhere. App does not depend on Google Play Services.
Internet/Network Access: Required to monitor Wi-Fi state and to show network information in device tab. Also required for AdMob.
Location: used only in "Device" section to show GPS location per user request.
Package Usage Stats: Currently not used, but planned for future update to "Analysis" reporting to indicate whether a particular process was in foreground/background state.
Phone/Read Phone State/Identity: Required to retrieve cell signal data, also used to display telephony information in "Device" section. This is used only to display this information to you.
Prevent device from sleeping: Required for recording history data in the background. (Wakelocks are only taken momentarily).
Retrieve running apps: Used to retrieve some minor detail information about running apps on some devices. This permission has largely been inerted on newer Android devices.
Run at Startup: Required to start history recording service (when enabled).
Storage: Used for app archival and application storage usage analysis.
Root access is used/required for the following operations:
Retrieving any kind of information about running processes on Android 7 (Nougat) and later.
Retrieving information about system processes (i.e. processes which are not Android Apps) on Android 6 (Marshmallow) and later.
Enabling/Disabling packages (non-root users may use "control panel" option to use Android preference panel for this purpose, where permitted by the OS).
Enabling/Disabling services
Killing apps and system processes. Root is not required for normal "End Process" feature to request an Android application to stop. Root is only required to send UNIX TERM/KILL signal.

I'll try it

Hey, I remember using version 1 from way back. Definitely on the OG Droid. I never used it to kill apps, but over clocking was the thing to do back then so there were a lot of things I could keep an eye on with your app. Also, it had nice graphs. I'll give this a whirl.

Saw this app at Android Police before. Great feature set.

Great app! The first one which is able to measure CPU load on N. Would be great to a have a widget or a permanent notification with the most usefull data (cpu load, clock, temp and battery temp)

Wonderful to get this tool back for newer system version.

The original systempanel was one of the first (I think THE FIRST) Android app that I've ever purchased and I've been a user for many years.
Great to see v2 out! SystemPanel has always been a great app to help diagnose problem apps.

Thanks everyone!
BTW just discovered a "brown paper bag bug" that can happen the first time you grant SystemPanel root access. There's a case where SystemPanel will attempt to perform a root operation on the user interface drawing thread (a giant "n00b" mistake in Android development). This can cause the device to freeze for 5-10 seconds if it happens to be the first such operation and hasn't been granted root access before. Thankfully it only happens once and will be corrected in next version.

Great app! The first one which is able to measure CPU load on N. Would be great to a have a widget or a permanent notification with the most usefull data (cpu load, clock, temp and battery temp)

Widget, notification, and a persistent-overlay are all on the table...I probably just want to implement all three.

SystemPanel 2.0.b3 (r2041) now available in the beta channel.
"Surprise Her with Improved Android Analytics"
(Moved to production)
Changelog:
Added support for monitoring the active foreground application using an Accessibility service. You'll have to grant SystemPanel's service permission to operate via your accessibility settings for this to work (even if you have root). SystemPanel's settings contain a convenient link to turn this on in the "General" section. It's entirely optional. Currently foreground-process data is used on the analysis and specific-app-history screens, but this will be expanded soon.
Fixed bug where it was difficult to scroll vertically on screens with lists of plots.
Fixed startup bug for root users where some devices would hang for a couple of seconds.
Updated chart legends.
More precision added to use percentages in History/Top-Apps.
App-Info screen now differentiates between supported and required features of apps.
App-Info screen now shows when app was last used (if usage access is enabled). More usage stats features will be added soon.
Fixed bug where disabled services hidden on App-Services screen under Nougat.
Added "Tools" screen to "Device" section. Currently provides shortcuts to accessibility and usage stats preferences (some devices don't have any way to access these). Also allows access to device "Testing" screen (some devices support).
I've resurrected the beta channel for those that want early access to new releases, you can opt-in here: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/nextapp.sp
The product itself is of course beta, but opting into the beta channel will get you new releases earlier. Product will move to the main stable channel shortly thereafter.

Thanks, need to remove this... I think I want to leave the 100% indicator off (it's easily implied and would crowd section label).

SystemPanel 2.0.b4 now available in the beta channel.
This release adds a new major section, "Usage". Usage data shows a history of the apps you've used on your phone. This data can be viewed in aggregate form to see which apps you use most and how often you're using your device.
There's still a long way to go with "Usage". E.g. it needs to be more integrated with the history section, so you can quickly see the effect that usage had on the device (i.e., battery drain). There is currently no "overview" section that takes you to the usage screen, it's accessible from the slide-out panel.
Like history data, usage data is visible for 7 days and data older than 10 days is purged from the database. Like all recorded information, data is never sent from your phone to anyone/anywhere.
"Usage Statistics screen", showing app usage in the last 24 hours.
Usage log screens. The left screen shows a raw log of app usage (in this case with launcher/SystemUI stuff filtered out). The right screen shows apps which ran for more than 10 minutes.
.
The "CPU" indicator below the app title shows the average CPU usage while the app was active. The battery indicator shows the net battery drain (or charge) while the app was active. This battery use is simply the amount the device's battery changed while the app was in the foreground, it does not indicate that the app itself consumed that much battery. This will explained in more detail when a help section is added to this screen.
The usage section works just fine on Android 7 without root. It uses the accessibility service (which must be enabled) to work. Once it's more integrated with the history section, this feature may be useful to non-rooted Android 7 users to determine if an app running in the foreground kept running longer than it was being used.
Changelog:
Added Usage section.
Added workaround for bug when scrolling plots when viewing a specific app (unfixed bug in Android widget library itself).
Removed broken 100% axis marker in history section of overview screen.
Fixed min/max clock frequency data in device section.
This release has been initially uploaded to the beta channel. It will be placed in production soon assuming further testing proceeds well.

No cell signal data
Hello, I'm a big fan of your apps, I've been using FX since 2012 and I was fond of the original system panel. I think the new system panel is just beautiful.
One thing I notice is, I don't seem to be getting any record of cell signal. The LTE bar is always blank and there's nothing in cell signal history. This is on a Verizon Galaxy G7 with Marshmallow.

Thanks and thanks for reporting this...
OEMs have severely failed on implementing Android's APIs for retrieving cell signal data. Some return nothing and others return random nonsense. Samsung is one of the worst offenders. I have a few Samsung test devices (including as-of-yesterday an S7 Edge) and will be trying to correct this. At the absolute minimum, I need to not display the data if it's out of range (some of this is already in place, but doesn't always work). Would prefer to workaround on popular broken devices though (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S/Note stuff).
I'm very happy I picked this S7 up...gorgeous hardware but somewhat ridiculous software (though slowly improving and debloating). I rooted it before even turning wifi on, and noticed some shortcomings when using SystemPanel to help debloat it (e.g. the UI for disabling packages is too slow.) Next version will also be categorizing apps by whether they're user-facing (have a launcher icon) or not. I think this thing came with 330-something system apps,, I've disabled 50+ already. I'll be tempted to get an international S8 as my own phone if I can put Lineage on it.

New feature request
Two, actually
First and foremost, battery usage rate (e.g. %/hr). To me, this is the most useful battery metric, to see in history and correlate with CPU and signal and so on. I'm always squinting at the battery % graph trying to estimate the slope....
Second, how about some info on sensors? Nothing too fancy, a list with current values perhaps?

Need to get the battery rate graph in SP2 (it was in the original). I do want to do a sensor list, undecided if this will be under the "Device" tab or in its own (will have to see how it flushes out). If "Sensors" winds up being its own top-level section, then the "Device->Location" feature will move there as well. I actually am inclined to try to make this section a bit fancy though... should be easy to make it look pretty (and informative) with lots of plots.

Best battery setup

Hey guys! Let's share our ROM + kernel + kernel settings setups over here!

Stable/Open Beta OOS or Omni, Smurf (stock balanced) or Flash kernel for me.

Nice! Any screenshots?

All Kernel customisation are just gimmicks. The main culprit for battery drain is Google Play Services and the background running apps that provide quick notifications as soon as you receive a new message/email. This action takes up too much battery. The top list include WhatsApp, Snapchat, Facebook/Messenger, and other social media apps. The definte solution is 1. Magisk Modules- "Universal GMS Dose" , "Enable Dose for GSM Magisk Module" , "Greenify4Magisk". 2. Install Greenify(add all apps for hibernation).
These two steps will ensure excellent standby time and surely a better battery life that you not only need but you deserve.

Cool. I've flashed all the above mentioned modules. Will now add apps to the Greenify Hibernation list.

I'm running stock rooted, and I get 8 hours of screen time on most days. No custom kernel, I do have location off.

Location on, I use blue mail, WhatsApp and Textra and my battery is great. 9-11 hours sot work ex kernel or stock kernel. The custom ex kernel is for adjusting vibration motor intensity, max sound increases and lowering the min frequency of the little cores from 576mhz to 300mhz, this increases battery life a bit. I also use ex kernel to disable certain wakelocks as well.
Kernels overall really don't offer a ton for battery life increases, maybe 5%

Stock locked bootloader, clean oos 9.0.2 gets me over 5hours of screen usage. And i am using location services and bluetooth always. Since i moves to total stock state this phone is a battery beast.

Mate, what exactly wakelocks you're blocking via ex manager app? I mean which is safe to block?

There are a few already blocked with EX Kernel. the one I block all the time is IPA_WS, the others are preset to blocked. I recommend taking a look and see in the list that have high wake times and block one at a time and see how your phone acts for a day if no issues move on to another. This is of course based on if your phone isn't sleeping. If your phone has a high percentage deep sleep time (mine is always over 93% if im not streaming music with screen off) then you don't need to worry about your wake locks with higher times listed.

Do all notifications still come on time with the modules + greenify?
Back in my G4 days I use to use greenify but thought it's not needed anymore due to the nature of android pie
Edit: forgot to contribute. My current setup includes xXx module + EX kernel. Power efficient workqueues enabled, followed the recommendation for stune, and no other mods or edits after that. Best I've gotten was on a weekend, wifi all day, 8 hours SoT on track for 9 hours. Hardly used snapchat that day which likely attributed to the good times.
On a day to day basis I get less than that since there's moment I use data and I use snap fairly often. I'd say anywhere from 4-6 hours SoT.

Nice! I still get notifications (WhatsApp and Telegram), even after enabling the above mentioned Magisk modules, and Greenifying some apps.

As for both idle battery life and screen on battery life, I'd have one main recommendation:
1) use good well-made apps. i.e. open source apps:
-no data leaks so no idle battery drain,
-Most of the time better quality, lighter (so better performance and take less battery when you use them)
-Design-wise : usually they follow well google guidelines
-better support often as well, developers are closer to the community
2) If the option 1 is not available, use your browser instead of bad apps! Like for your favorite websites (news, bank, forums, etc.), most of them have decent mobile versions available on your browser and so you won't multiply apps on your device, and they won't drain battery for nothing. I've never had issues with idle battery drains for years now simply because I don't use random apps. Only the ones I trust.
So go through your app lists, and think for each one of them, do you actually need it? Wouldn't it be fine to just use the website? Could I use a lighter alternative instead?
3) Here are a few suggestions of lightweight apps you could use instead of the "famous" ones, and that I personally recommend:
-Phonograph instead of Play Music, Spotify. The design is wonderful, it's only a few MB and it's fast as f***. Open source
-Use Kiwi browser instead of chrome: no google bloatware, built-in adblocker, bottom bar, well made dark mode, other useful features, optimized performance. Partially open source
-Delete the facebook app and use your browser instead
-Use QKSMS: just a nice design and open source.
-Adaway if you have magisk: open source adblocker
-Amaze file manager: lightweight, gorgeous design, open source
-Libretorrent if you download torrents, nice design, open source
-Barcode scanner, open source
-MatLog to take logs, nice design, open source
That's pretty much all, you don't need much more apps. Feel free to freeze the Google apps you don't use.
Then it's basic advice: turn off location, bluetooth, wifi when you don't need it, check permissions, turn off always on wifi, wifi to improve location, etc.
Use dark themes when they are available, very useful on our device.

Isn't it important for you to see the incoming message instantly?

Has anyone tried these kernels: CleanSlate and Smurf?
I wanted to know if they both differ in battery life..

This is the 2nd cycle with Smurf kernel.
ROM: Beta 6
Kernel: Smurf latest

How many hours of SOT are you getting now?

Question What is the difference between Battery Optimization and Background Usage Limits in OneUI?

In Samsung OneUI, the battery usage of an app can be controlled from 3 different Settings (which kind of overlap with their functions):
1. App Info page/ Battery
2. Device Care / Battery
3. Ignore Battery Optimization Setting
By default, the battery is set to 'Optimised' for all apps.
On the App Info page, if Battery is set to Unrestricted, the app will not appear in the list of apps under Never Sleeping Apps in Device Care. But, if an app is added to the Never Sleeping Apps list in Device Care, the battery setting remains at 'Optimised' in the App Info page.
It is not clear which option is better for apps that the user wants running all the time. For example, I use Netguard and want it to remain running without being killed. Although I have not seen Netguard getting killed with either option, I'm still not too clear on which is the better option between these two settings.
Likewise, if Battery is set to Restricted on the app info page, the app will not show up in the list of apps under Deep Sleeping Apps in Device Care. But, if an app is added to the Deep Sleeping Apps list in Device Care, the battery setting automatically changes to 'Restricted' in the App Info page.
The problem with adding apps to Deep Sleeping list is that they are delinked from Google Play Store (and probably blocked from setting alarms, accessing System Events, etc. too), and so would not receive any updates until the app is launched again. So Deep Sleeping Apps setting is likely the more aggressive setting to prevent apps from running in the background.
The other problem with Deep Sleeping list is that any app that is removed from it is automatically added to the Never Sleeping list. So one must remove the app from this list too to bring it back to the default setting.
Finally, we have the Ignore Battery Optimization Setting, where an app added to this list will automatically have it's battery setting changed to 'Unrestricted'.
If I have to list them in the order of most aggressive to most privileged, it would be like this:
1. Deep Sleeping Apps
2. Restricted Battery (without adding to Deep Sleeping list)
3. Never Sleeping Apps
4. Unrestricted Battery
5. Ignore Battery Optimization
Hopefully someone can clarify this.

One is Android thing and the other is Samsung way. If you select restrict you won't find it through Samsung own app usage.
You can choose one of them or both. Samsung is easier to manage.
*EDIT* What the, you have over 600 apps ?!?!
