Gotta post this because I didn't think it was possible. So today I disabled google play service and the play store and a few other Google apps with titanium. I was already averaging about 8hrs SOT using helix engine and elemental kernal but then this happened
I've never heard of helix engine. What does it do?
Is it a replacement for Google play services? If not, crippling a smartphone to get good screen on time isn't very productive

Too each its own. You can download apps from several different outlets that are safe. The only apps I had to replace was messenger with textra and gmail with Nine. I exported my contacts from the contacts app as vcf and restored them to my phone memory. I use vance tube which is an upgrade over youtube. When i want to sync my photos I'll enable google service framework to backup photos. Everybody doesn't need a phone to automatically and intrusively do simple task such as sync for them. The phone seems to even run better without those background services running .

Nice. I installed helix. Never heard of it. How did you disable Google play services? Do I need the donate version? Thanks
Can I ask what are your settings for helix and ElementalX?

Here is an explanation of what it does:
Helix Engine is an Accessibility Service which automates dynamic performance profile switching (battery/balanced/performance modes) to provide better efficiency, improve battery consumption and performance depending on your usage.
For premium users, it integrates the use of Machine Learning to automatically adjust each tunable to achieve the desired jank percentage (how smooth or laggy the user wants their apps to run).

Do you need Xposed for microG to work? I've always wanted to try it
I'm curious what, if any, settings you have enabled for ElementalX. I installed it after the November update. I thought that I had pretty decent battery life with only using Helix Engine. Right now I'd imagine it's about the same.
I'm also curious if there are ways to disable some aspects of Google Play Services. I unfortunately still use some Google things due to my school account. I remember in the past threads for better battery life but that seemed like a real hassle.

I was just trying to point out before, using something like a custom rom with microG, or a Google rom debloated and with microG and then a custom kernel, I wasn't really sure if this was going to be much of help, or worth bothering over.

I'm not sure if everybody uses this, but Autostarts is one of my favorite root apps and I recommend it to all of my friends who have rooted. I don't see too many people talking about it anymore so I figured I would remind everyone of this awesome app. It allows you to prevent any apps from running on their own. After using Titanium Backup to debloat my ROM, I then open up Autostarts and run down the list and disable any apps that I don't want to startup without my say so. It does wonders for freeing up RAM. I did this on my Epic 4G Touch and never needed to flash a single custom ROM because I was able to get the stock ROM running flawlessly. It is an invaluable tool to me and I recommend it highly.

no, it will not. more importantly, google maps is a battery hog, and a privacy killer, and it is also unable to be killed. not by gemini app manager, nor in conjunction with autostarts. google maps will report everywhere you go, and there is nothing you can do about it.
if only someone (windows maybe?) would come out with a nifty phone and declare "Hey we won't sell your soul!" i would so be on board. HTC is slowly drowning themselves, so i am finally, after 6 years, ready to move on to a new brand, and wouldn't mind leaving google behind.

Thanks man.:good:
If your interested I managed to disable Maps from always being on the background on my system . What I did? Used Titanium Backup (Pro edition) to convert it to a user app (because it needs to be so, for the next step). After, used a free app called Greenify (you may find it on the Play Store), to "hibernate" Maps at boot time. Result: No more Google Maps on the background . This app is great! You should give it a try. Maybe you may keep your HTC a few more years using it
Unfortunatly trying the same for Google Play messes with its app update functions... that is why I ask.
Hope it helps you on the Maps issue.
Any other ideas anyone?
i use gemini app manager itll stop it all but also remember that certain actions also stop it from updating the market so be careful which autostart functions u stop: although there are more than just at boot for most apps

Mine is already a user app..?
imma reinstall autostarts see if it has stopped working correctly. i know many instances can trigger apps so you can't just disable on startup for it not to run. but i remember disabling maps in like 3-4 places and it stopped starting unless i told it to start.
I have maps disabled completely in both autostarts and Gemini app manager. And maps is still my #1 battery drain. often my phone displays the gps signal when I wake it up, even though I haven't used maps in days.

You may use both in conjunction. Hell, I´m using Autostarts, Autorun Manager (for its simplicity) and Greenify. You just have to know what apps/events are disabled/enabled in them.
Greenify is a little diferent in the way that it hibernats apps when they are not being used/when with the screen off. It works of boot and is really pretty helpfull on those "stubburn" apps that do wish to always remain in the background. With Greenify on they are gone! For good .
Check it on Play Store for more info. Older versions seemed to have some issues with superuser access, with the new one, that seems fixed. It is a great app IMO, saves LOTS of battery and enables a little more ram available for things that do matter (good specially for phones with low RAM memory chips). In the case of your phone you will mainly notice an improvement in battery life, since RAM seems not an issue.
You should try it out

Maps, as you said, has got several instances and events triggered for the most crazy things (at least in my book - since I do not need many of them), and that was why it still kept restarting even after all events disabled (there should be hidden ones related to other apps still operating in a complex interconection). At least that is how I imagine it was working. Greenify manages to hibernate it altogether (Titanium style), with the advantage of being "quicker" "unhibernating" it when needed. No complains for me so far
Glad it helped. It seems an excelent app!
See you:good:
Re: Greenify
Just bought titanium backup pro to use in conjunction with Greenify. $6 to stop maps and facebook from eating half of my battery. Totally worth it IMO.

I actually removed the apk's for all of the files noted in your thumbnails with titanium backup. That must have been the difference. So in your case you just froze everything with xposed?

Hi,
I'm considering to get the device soon but one thing that's frightening me is battery life and more precisely SOT :S
I've read that without these mods users gets 4 hours SOT in average.
Knowing that I have an heavy use of my smartphone (BT always on for my smartwatch, often streaming music in 3G/4G on Spotify, Facebook/Messenger sync, internet browsing and games ...) I wonder how much SOT/battery life do you get with these mods ?

Has anyone noticed that when actually using the Google app, it is horrendously slow and laggy? Scrolling is especially bad if you look up an actor or musician...It's really the only app I have noticed this with, and unfortunately its one of the most important.

Google app is essentially a spy app. Everything you do is monitored.. thus it slows down the performance of your device.

With all the work Google put into background battery life in Oreo, are apps like Greenify needed anymore? That was one of the primary reasons to root IMHO. Do we need that?
I'm wondering the same thing.
Oreo caches apps in the back ground.
It works, but I still use Greenify to clean up the apps that I do not want cached.

I personally felt the need for greenify was obsolete since Nougat arrived. Also in my experience I found that using it was detrimental/made no difference to battery life over time.
When I first got my Pixel 2, idle drain seemed high, so I tried Greenify. It seemed to help. I then uninstalled Greenify and there was no difference in battery life. I now believe the initial drain was just part of the phone calibrating itself and Greenify did not really do anything.
For some apps like instagram/facebook you really need greenify to prevent them running in the background.

I use Greenify to control the play store app, services framework, and other system apps that think they need to suck down the battery. I use Google Maps all the time but I don't want it running in the background when I am not using the phone. My phone is not rooted and I plan on keeping it that way for awhile. So far the battery is lasting a long time but I don't use the assistant or any other service that goes beyond making phone calls and texting. Facebook and the others can keep their battery draining apps to themselves.
I swapped out Greenify for Naptime. Naptime makes a difference.

Check again after a few days.... Btfery drain is always worse after a factory reset or on a new phone as Android learns your usage Patterns
I have a 10+ running on Pie.
It took me months to sort out excessive battery usage. If your phone is running warm at idle you need to track down the causes. I use PD MDM package blocker which helps a lot if used wisely. A lot of junk that needs to be disable in settins too. My nominal battery usage screen off, plain jane AOD on is 1% an hour. Surfing the web, watching a vid is about 10% an hour. Your device probably uses more though even when optimized not sure though.
In Samsung Device Care, use factory load if it is the one with 360 degrees on it. Do not update.
•In Device Care punch Optimize for power/screen setting.
•Toggle on fast charging and -nothing- else. (see image)
You can then package block this app.
•This configuration will also keep power management from unwantedly killing apps in use like Poweramp. All other unused apps should go into standby mode when not in use or screen off... without power management options being toggled!
Use no 3rd party power management and for now don't toggle any apps to sleep.
•In Developer options>stand by apps, all buckets should show as active, if not unwanted power management is active.
Let the base Google default settings handle power management. Enabling advanced power management appears to cause conflicts leading to excessive CPU/battery usage.
•Any cloud app will steal power and bandwidth, Google Backup Transport and Goggle Services Framework are prime offenders.
•Disable all carrier, Samsung, Google etc diagnostic feedback as well as carrier updates and Playstore.
Enable as needed.
•Use Samsung Gallaxy Labs Battery Tracker to help track usage.
Framework will still show usage with AOD is active about 1% @ hour when blocked. It should be well below 1% when phone is active.
I've posted more detailed info in the 10+ forum.
Each phone configuration varies so try these suggestions, what works for me may or may not work for you.
Get a package disabler and start locking it down... play with it.

Thanks for link. It's weird though, as the app made by Policedeveloper on the Play Store has the same UI and same name, they also use identical screenshots with an old Samsung phone model! I wonder if they are the same developer or one has copied the other.
I was using the one on the Play Store but it did break after upgrading to Android 10. I am considering buying the app you recommend but don't want to get burned again. I know its not a lot of money but I don't want to be sold a lemon!

Don't know who stole what but know I'll never use anything from Policedeveloper again. Trashware.
Didn't appreciate their lame attitude when I emailed them either.
I've used PD MDM on Kitkat and Pie. Lol, no plans to jam Q into my 10+ though; it's running stable and fast.
I was apprehensive at first too, but they have consistently given me a quality app.
If they say it's compatible you should be good to go.

In Google Play Services>app permissions, disable all to get Google Transport Framework from using excessive battery. Google Transport Framework and Google Transport are package blocked as well. The former is the last step to shut these power sucking background apks down. So far I haven't lost any functionality I use.
Took me a year to track all of these down. Ha!
Should be 94 blocked apks, may have lost some in the confusion of manipulating the list.
Some of the blocked apks I've enabled the widget toogle to turn them off/on like Playstore.
•I'm running a 10+ on Pie... no idea how the Fold on Q will respond to this list but probably similarly.
•This list is customized for my set up and circumstances; each user's needs are different.
Best practice is to formulate your own list... the hard way. That way you'll learn what the apks you're blocking do and how the apks interact/their dependencies.
