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.

Greenify is probably one of the best apps for battery saving. It will get the most of your device and it will surely save you tons of battery life.
Greenify is created by the famous Android developers from “XDA developers”. The developers from this website are one of the best in the world and they received amazing critical acclaim from all around the world.
Back to Greenify. It is an app that has the capability to reduce the battery consumption on any Android device. Most of the manifucturers still haven’t found the correct solution for decreasing the battery consumption, most of their solutions work by automatically turning off Wi-Fi, GPS, reducing the brightness, etc. They don’t have meaningful effect on your device’s battery life.
Any Android device can do self-initiative and automatic checks about anything new in any application, especially when you install new apps or update them.
Facebook, EMail, Twitter, Google+, Whatsapp, Tango have processes that are constantly working in the background. On top of that, there are is also a great amount of software already installed by the manufacturer of the device (bloatware), as well as the provider whose services you use. Most of these applications are constantly open, consuming the phone’s resources (CPU, RAM), spending your 3G/4G internet, and they are biggest culprits for excessive daytime consumption of your battery.
Read More ...Reviewappandroid.com
The Greenify Donation add on is well worth the few dollars it costs as well. If you get the add on then go into the settings, it makes system app hibernation and deep hibernation options available for use. Greenify is the one app that truly saves battery without freezing or disabling the app. There is no performance loss or app failure when putting apps into hibernation. One thing to keep in mind is that it is regularly getting updated to accommodate new devices and Android updates. Always back up your current version because some updates may not auto hibernate as well as the previous version etc.
If you get Greenify and GSam with the paid add on you will be able to greatly reduce wasted battery drain and quickly identify wakelock services

What do you think about "Hibernation Manager "? What is better?
INTRODUCTIONPURIFY is an FREE APP to optimize your Android devices.
It kills battery consuming apps in the background and prevent it from auto-start.
And the notification box helps achieve the massive unwanted messages from different apps.
With ROOT access, it works more smoothly, here you can obtain ROOT access through KingRoot .
What is Purify
Save Battery Power:
First and foremost, Purify helps extend standby time and save your battery power.
Here is a testimony from a friend, "Now with purify app every 1% battery stays for a very good time while using. No battery waste on Standby".
Speed Up your Device:
By killing apps that insist on running in the background, Purify saves RAM for your device to help it run faster than ever!
And for the applications that utilize larger than average amounts of RAM, these too can also run smoothly after purifying mode is implemented.
Archive Notifications:
PURIFY also helps achieve notifications from all apps in one, and classify them for easier reading
Bloatware Remover:
In root environment, Purify is able to remove bloatware which annoy you day and night.
You can find it in Tools menu where at the bottom of home interface.
>>>>>>>>>>Download PURIFY 2.1<<<<<<<<<<
>>>>>>>>>>Install Purify from Google Play<<<<<<<<<<
DETAILS OF PURIFY
What's installed
#PURIFIY
PURIFY can automatically put closed/killed apps into hibernation mode while running in the background. What's more, PURIFY can also archive notifications for you - it will be like having a 24/7 housekeeper for your device. PURIFIY will be installed in your Data/app
What drains your battery?
#apps,apps and apps!
All running apps, all closed/killed apps, ad-supported free apps even multi-tasking will kill your battery.
It is inevitable that running apps will drain your battery. But what about "closed" apps? In Android OS, even if you aren't using an app, it will continue to run in the background, because it is essentially just doing it's job. So, will "closed" apps kill your battery? Of course, they will, because you can not truly kill them.
Additionally, all of the ad-supported/free apps can drain your battery much faster than others. They not only run in the background but also drain the energy from your processor and use your data connection to download and display new advertisements.
Although the ability to run more than one app at a time (multi-tasking) is great, it can really put a strain on your battery life. You may find that some apps seem really tough, always wanting to run, and we call this "auto-start". These apps run all time and have the ability to destroy your battery, your performance, and your Android experience.
So, what you can do to deal with them? Remove them or purify them with PURIFY 1.0 . I really recommend you try our PURIFY solution because you will never have to uninstall your beloved apps such as FaceBook or WHATSAPP. Not only can you keep them but you will be able to transform them into purified or battery-efficient and energy-efficient applications (no more running in background and no more auto-start drain)
#others
Screen, Bluetooth, GPS, Voice Service, NFC, Wi-Fi, Syncing, Widgets. We know you still want to enjoy the modern technology your device has to offer so we did not do anything to control your hardware in this version of PURIFY. But if you want, please tell us, we will develop more functions to save power for you.
Why is my device running slow
We all know that our device has a limited amount of internal storage and RAM - so, the less free space them has the slower it will perform. The most important thing is that if you do have not enough space you cannot run some larger apps. Your phone needs a little breathing room to run smoothly and if you're running low on space, things can slow down.
Apps which we mentioned above (Running in the background and Auto-start) will not only kill your battery but also occupy your RAM space. Multi-tasking several apps makes it easy to switch between different tools, but there can also be an impact on performance.
PURIFY can also help you to speed up your device and only lets apps the apps you wish to run smoothly run while purifying all others apps. You can control your device completely!
How PURIFY works
#Purifying mode
Enable purifying mode will make your device run like a champ and extend standby time significantly. PURIFY will Intelligently recognize which apps should keep running ( like music play, dialer, VPN and so on ) and which one should be purified. Purifying an app means that all functions (service, periodic task, event receiver, alarm, widget update, push message) of this app will become out of service except when you are running this app manually. If PURIFY detects that some useless apps are running in the background she will recycle it from RAM and prevent it from auto-start. Of course, you can also choose manually which ones you want to keep.
#Purify Apps
In this menu, you can manually choose which apps you want to keep and which ones you want to put in purifying mode. You also can choose if you want to auto recycle it or just want to block the auto-start process.
#Purify Notification Bar
In this menu, you can choose to archive notification for specific applications.
#Purify All
When you feel your device slowing down just click the "Purify All" button on the home page of the Purify app. All apps running in the background will be closed.
#Bloatware Remover
In "Bloatware Remover", just choose apps you want to remove and click removing button. Charge in your own device, remove bloatwares you don't like.

Nice app. It has really improved battery life significantly. It also helps to declutter the notification area. One suggestion, please fully translate it in English. There are still some Chinese literals.
First I wanna congratulate the developer for this awesome app.
This app is just sick, and really works. Finally a battery saving app that really do work and push the limits of our battery usage.
Basically this powerful app use both greenify and servicely features combined together all in one and more. You get to control everything or u can let the app do it for u.
I installed the app today when I had 65% left on my battery but I'll do a full day usage tomorrow to see how well this app but for now I got to say just wow amazing.
Since lollipop I've never get this battery life.

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 ?

rooted, h955ar rom over h950, removed almost all lg software and greenify only, I have premium, but no xposed.
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.
I use like 150 apps installed in the phone.
Tried pie open beta(and also other custom roms) with kernels and other greenify apps but battery sticks with 5 to 6 screen on time.
I feel grateful if someone can help me getting the backup 7 or 7+.
I hear some guys are getting 8 and plus sot. I don't know how if everyone is using the same phone. I don't use phone for gaming. My usage involves with social media, YouTube, chats and 40 to 60 minutes using maps and gps.
Is it because of number of apps installed?
It's not about apps installed unless they keep the phone awake at all time, wish I don't think they do.
Unfortunately the best thing to do is just stop using social media lol.. Facebook and snapchat atleast.. Those apps are true battery killers.
If you feel like Facebook is really something you NEED in your life then skip the app and use the browser instead.
The other thing is making sure apps that you don't need notifications from is blocked from background usage in Battery, total usage, click the app you know you can block and select background usage, block
Last is managing the brightness, now there are times for full blast on the display and there is times for low light, don't let the screen blast your eyes if it's not needed to.

I agree... Facebook is a Hog. And they push you into using Facebook messenger as well... :-/
I use this... It's a pretty slick front-end for Facebook that uses little of the resources that the app does. It also let's you use messenger without installing it on mobile!

150 apps lol, how can you manage so much, I think just a simple browser can help you get rid of atleast 100 of them. I never understand the need of app which works on a site on a desktop. Just to keep track of your location and what you are searching online, these apps track you and kills your battery. Go smart, use no tracking browser like bromite and live the freedom.
Now for ROM part, I get the best battery with any OOS + elementalX kernel. None of the custom rom are better than OOS and yes don't forget to remove all Google apps and OnePlus apps, they track you.
Also install betterbatterystats to check what is killing your battery, I easily get upto 8 hrs. of sot if no pubg.
