Hi ,
currently I'm running CodenameAndroid 3.3.0 on my Nexus S and everything runs smooth and works perfectly well for me, no doubts. But somehow I constantly get the feeling that the newer our operating system gets our batteries drain faster. Either this or my battery just gets old. However I'm searching for a Rom that has battery saving in main purpose. I dont care about playing games, the operating system or showing off how great my phone is. For this I have my Tablet The best solution for me would be a rom which is very low in batterydrain but as smooth as jellybean (maybe just port the transitions over). I know it might be hard to find something like this but is there any rom which matches my perception? Also a nice look would be cool, too ^^
I'm waiting for your responses!
I think you're looking for SlimBean. I'm on CNA too, the batter life is pretty bad
I tried SlimBean because I used SlimICS before but I miss too many features to change it back. Isn't there something else? Or which OS has the best batterylife in general?
i think gingerbread still has the best battery life.
androxide got me over 4hrs of screen time and a days usage with matrix
the new miui jb is also almost the same
IMO.....ICS's best battery life is on Kangy Ultra Ex 1.3 by DaXmax.
Just as long as u don't use Google talk since that's the ROMs only hiccup.
Then again like most will say.... its all depending on the user so hopefully it will help if u try.
I'm currently using the same developers JB ROM called paranoid Android..... so far it great but again I don't use all the newest features to much yet. I'm working myself slowing into the stuff.
Good luck

There is no ROM with super battery life, some better and some worst, very similar.
Most u can get from nexus s is +4hrs screen on.
And i don't care about those pathetic screen shots with +7hrs of screen on.
Fire up 3g/H stock browser, maps, music etc and we'll find out how good ur battery life is.
MIUI get's me aprox 4 hours and 50 minutes of on screen time. Lots of game playing, instant messaging, syncing, music, and social media (Instagram, twitter, tumblr.) And about 9 hours + when it get's to about 14%
EDIT: This is when using WIFI, not my 3G.

This question will produce every combo under the sun...but in the end no Real answer. Every phone/battery is different and how the person uses their phone. Apps installed, how much you use said apps, are the ram hogs, 2g, 3g, I could go on forever...just like this thread will if not eventually ignored or closed.
Closed, there is no answer to this question, the majority of battery drain will be the screen (depending on brightness) and whatever app you have installed and use.
Generally it's a matter of finding out what works for you.
Rooted or not, does it worth it?? I searched a lot the forums and ive seen a lot of posts underestimate the MM, for being unstable or not compatable with a lot of apps(e.g. recovery,ds4 controllers etc).
For me that i want mostly emulation,gaming,multirom and stuff like that should i stay in stock(rooted) 5.1.1?
Also an extra question: nvidia excusive games can be played without the official nvidia controller?can i use ds4?
Thanks in advance everyone!! This tablet rocks!!
ok i will ask it more simply.. is there a reason NOT to update k1 to 6.0??
Also does multirom work with MM??
If you end up having the battery drain issue
, like myself, its better not to upgrade

I got my K1 last week and immediately updated to marshmallow and it ran ok. I can't say anything about the battery life pre and post ipdate buy I will day that the battery doesn't last as long add I thought it would.
As for your question about controller compatibility: You can use third party controllers with Shield exclusive games. I've tested this myself with my Moga and Half-Life 2

i think i will stay to 5.1.1 for now. im getting the beauty tomorrow!!!
about the controllers: do you change the inputs in game in general??
Just got my shield K1 this morning, updated to 6.0 straight away, if you're used to marshmallow u cant go back, also battery life with doze should be better than LP, as a side not flashed TWRP experimental, made a Stock Backup to Micro SD, flash root installed layers and xposed it all works flawlessly just like my nexus 7 2013 =)
Doze won't help with battery life while using the device.
@x-nivek: I didn't have to do anything beyond pairing the controller to the device for Half-Life 2 to recognize it.

Nothing short of a bigger battery will help with battery life while using the device. But standby time will be quite a bit better.
I upgraded mine straight away and everything's working fine .
Not noticed it having bad battery drain
There is an intermittent battery drain issue on Marshmallow for some users as reported in the Geforce forums. If you notice your battery draining very quickly you can determine if you have the issue by looking at your battery usage. If you see a program called "Miscellaneous" draining most of your battery then you have this problem. You can further verify by using CPU-Z and checking to see if your cores are showing 100% utilization even when the system is idling. There appears to be an issue with the log daemon in 6.0. Nvidia claims to be working on releasing a 6.0.1 ROM that fixes the issue.
I personally haven't had any issues with the battery on 5.1.1 on my LTE version. I think Marshmallow is more suited for smartphones since we're using it more often, when it comes to doze. I don't know many people who've actually used Now on Tap including myself on the Nexus 5. I think the biggest feature is the integrated storage. Other than that..meh..
I use cooltool to see what processes are using the most cpu in realtime as an overlay on my statusbar. Helps to know what's really stressing your cpu when using it.
completely no worth, support sdcard 128gb like internal now I can install many apps and put in a lot movies
battery issue come for weeks but if you let it on heavy duty and let juice run out. leave it full charge over night then battery will be better.

Or you can just go to app optimization and change chrome to "let nvidia optimize" and then coldboot linux

So I have an LG G4 running Octos-M with Xposed and a handful of modules. Recently my phone has been getting very hot doing mundane tasks. For example, while streaming YouTube videos at 480p it will sometimes, not all the time for some reason but usually, slowly get hotter and hotter. I don't know where it would cap out because I've never let it get past 53C, and usually stop using it at about 46.
It does it in Snapchat basically all the time and in games like Marvel Puzzle Quest a little less than half the time. It can't be good for the phone and it slows way down when it gets too hot.
Doing some looking into it I believe it is a GPU issue. When watching videos the GPU usage spikes to 70-100%. The high usage seems to cause the heat. The CPU usage rarely steps above 40-50% but I don't know of it's related or not. The GPU is just a hunch.
Does anyone have any suggestions? It's getting to the point where the phone is unusable due to heat so I'd like to resolve, or at least mitigate, the issue.

Use the KA mod(Kernel Auditor) that is built into the Tentacles app in your app drawer, if you don't see the Tentacles app in app drawer then just go to system settings>about phone>Build date and tap the build date once and you'll have the Tentacles app. Use KA to lower the CPU/GPU settings to reduce the power consumption. If your OctOS doesn't come prepackaged with the Kraken kernel built in then consider configuring some KA settings on the stock OctOS kernel then try flashing the Kraken kernel if one exists for your device, then configure KA settings with that kernel and compare results, use the kernel and settings that give you the best results.

Hello everyone
A few hours ago, Firmware Finder received .150 firmware update for C185 models. I personally downloaded it even though there was no change log and updated using Hurupdater. I had noticed no changes at a first glance but then i moved to settings to confirm that the phone had updated. It said GPU Turbo below my version number. I decided to check out a graphically intensive game I play called 'Honkai Impact 3rd' on max graphics and 60fps which would heat down the phone within a few missions and there would also be quite a few stutters when alot of special effects would be going on at the same time before. I can confirm that since the update that the stutters have been reduced but most importantly, the phone hasn't been heating up as much in game after an hour of playtime. Battery life has been noticeably better too as there is less drain for sure. This is just my experience, can't wait for everyone else to get it as well, so I can know what is happening (whether GPU Turbo is actually on or not). For now though, I'll be testing more games to see how the phone is doing but I'm liking this so far.
very good news
In China, there have been a lot reports of the phone getting even hotter, the battery draining faster and the camera being more sensitive to flaring (esp. in night mode). I'm curious if people here will confirm or if these bugs have been fixed in the meantime. Personally, I think I won't update to .150 when it's out, better to wait a few weeks =)
Better battery drain during gaming or even in general use?

From my experience (which is less than a full day) the phone doesn't get as hot as it normally did before the update unless I play extensively for about an hour straight. Any less and I've been seeing good heat management so far. Of course I'm still in the early stages of testing and cannot comment further until 3-4 days of testing.

So battery life definitely seems better when i was playing my regular games., I'll need some time before I can comment on regular use. I'll try updating the thread after a few days of testing.
Interesting news! Any antutu or other benchmark result?
Still waiting 130 update for C432 model of p20 pro.
Funny how some areas gets updates so much faster although same phone model.
What about normal apps specially Google photos. Is it any smoother with no lag or stutters ??
Hi, please check the slo-mo 960fps recording.... Any improvements in the alleged artifacts during 32x slow videos? Huawei is using framerate interpolation for it which throws in visible artifacts during close up slow motion...

For everyone interested to know benchmark results, to my disappointment, results on Antutu, Geekbench and 3d mark remain very similar to those prior to the update. Which is very strange indeed as I'm definitely noticing an improvement in battery life, device heat management and fps slightly whilst gaming. It is possible that im running a test build and have not been running a full taste of Gpu Turbo, and it's also possible that Huawei's claim of 'Gpu Turbo' just means much better device thermal manamagement for more consistent FPS and battery life. Lastly, it is also possible thst Gpu turbo isn't even on since this is a test build and it's just that they've tweaked device performance and improved battery life compared to the previous version I was on (. 130). Thus I cannot judge fully and I'm waiting on an update to prove me wrong. I check firmware finder everyday and love testing new things. Although if what I'm experiencing is actually gpu turbo then I do not mind as at the very least, I see some improvement in battery life.

Scrolling has been super smooth. Google photos has been super snappy. The only app I see causing any scroll lag at this time is Twitter and that I'd blame the app itself rather than Huawei. I think it's definitely more fluid than the previous version of the software I was on but it is not heavily noticeable as both were very smooth for the most part.

I took this opportunity to compare the slow mo performance to my Mom's S9+. I believe the artifacts are still present as I see lines and weird effects popping up randomly which I do not see on the S9+.
Gpu turbo is only for games so you won't notice any improvement other that in gaming, that's why there is an special application tor that "game suite" that you can enable the acceleration.
I'm running b150 for a few days and so far the phone is better from before in term of small tweaks here and there and i noticed the front camera is better now,not perfect but very usable.
The battery has improved a little but but it was very good before too.
I had read that the antutu would be similar to snapdragon 845. I guess it was just a lie.

Oh thanks for the info, I actually didn't notice this and yes I see games running much nicer with the setting turned on. However, they also heat up the phone quicker and drain alot of battery life. Should you choose to turn the option off however, you notice the same games don't drain as much battery life anymore and the phone doesn't heat up as much and the battery life is noticeably better than before the update.

I don't play intensive games just clash royal,i have the acceleration turned off, didn't test much of it but the battery seems better not sure about the heat tho.
This is my battery life this day,all day 4g and most of the time outside.

That's pretty good considering you're gaming. I'm definitely getting atleast 7-8 hours of sot when I'm not going all out and about 5-6 on maxed out heavy gaming for most of the day. Even with the Gaming Optimization turned on the phone doesn't heat up alot as long as you're in a well ventilated environment. Im not much of a heavy gamer myself but definitely see better fps on Csr Racing 2 (used to lag a bit in the garage) and Honkai Impact 3rd with optimization in gaming suite on. Honkai is definitely giving me 60 fps in 90% of the scenarios so the lag is barely noticeable unlike before. As for benchmarks, unfortunately you cannot add benchmark related apps to the game optimize feature so the GPU turbo can't be turned on for them. Strangely enough, every other app (even regular apps) can be optimized.
I personnaly feel this stock rom is worse then previous stock, it's not as fast and verry battery hungry i'm lucky to get 4.5 hrs of SOT. When i open a few apps it grinds to a hold and stopps opening the app all together. I flashed Oreo a few days ago and it's mutch better than the latest stock. I think people want to improve on theire firmware, not go back or down
The general thought I have is that the devices are always better with their launch rom. Every update/upgrade screws something.

Not sure if that applies to every phone but, for this phone it's definitely correct. I was using Pie/Q ROMs for a while and I was happy with them. Until I've downgraded to Oreo. In Oreo the phone is blazing fast and has insane battery life. But some apps don't work properly, especially full-screen apps like Instagram stories or photo viewing in WhatsApp. Other than that, out of all the ROMs I've tried on this phone, stock Oreo (9.6.11.0) was the best in terms of performance and battery. But I remember in my old Sony Xperia Z3 Compact, custom ROMs made the phone a beast. Unfortunately, this phone seems to get worse and worse with every update.

Not all have the same experience, as my Mi A2 Lite was very laggy with Oreo out from the box, even dialer app is very laggy. Until 10.0.3.0 came and it was snappy (not as I wanted to, but at least not as bad as Oreo on my phone). Then the June update came and it was more laggy than Oreo and I called it SD card eater as it also literalky destroyed my 2 SD cards. The jump on custom ROMs did the fix on me and I don't mind the Xiaomeme updates afterwards.
I prefer Pie over Oreo, with every security patches, I feels the phone become more smoother and snappier. I've disabled some system apps that I really don't use too much like Google, chrome and YouTube. Never tested tough with those apps enabled.

With those apps enabled, it never affected with its performance when I was on stock. Its just the June (and I think July) updates were just buggy here.

It does affected the performance, especially when playing games like PUBGM, you'll noticed the difference. Some apps (system nor user apps) do a background check, some of them always on standby state. 4 gb of RAM is large enough for multitasking but Daisy CPU not too high for handling multiple foreground and background activities. Just set your choice through the Developer Option.
