Hello guys,
I am happy to share some ways to decrease battery drain for which is problem for most poco stock miui non root users:
1- Go to every app you don't want on background (always active) and make it (restricted backgroud activity) through Settings-Manage app-choose your app-battery saver
2- For system app: you can do the same by going Settings-Manage app-choose your app-permissions-information icon-battery-choose first option and then restrict app
3- Network signals some times drains battery alot, you could decrease it by changing network bands by the following:
Go to dialer and write (*#*#4636#*#*)-phone information-set preferred network-choose LTE\CDMA\UMTS auto prl (tested on global rom was good), note that you need to change it again after every reboot
4- Disable adaptive limit battery option through Setting-battery&perfomance
5-Activate force close button through Setting-additional setting-buttons&gestures-close current app and choose shortcut you want, then at any app you should force close when you are finished with it.
6- Go to every MIUI app and disable automatic updates and recommendation receive
7- Disable location when you are finished through Setting-additional settings-privacy-location and also disable wifi scanning after every disable
8- Go to Google app through Settings-Google and disable every activity on it as you can
9- Install Greenify app from store and work with (non root device) and hibernate all apps you don't need as background
10- Disable automatic brightness, and also decrease the brightness as you can to save power
11- Go to settings-additional settings-privacy-special access-Battery optimization and then make all apps (optimized)
12-Go to settings-additional settings-authorization&revocation and then disable all apps except (updater-system app updater-feedback-battery&performance-Xiaomi sim activation-settings)
I hope these steps could help you and I'm waiting your comments for additional ways or correcting anything
Any review or test results ?
Just wondering wtf is even benefit of 4000mah battery if we need to disable every single app to get battery life. It's their optimisation not good with the latest stable build of miui

I think this is from Android system itself due to alot of system app running on backgroud

Its not their thing its an android thing. It gets heavier with every update, and since they (its a good thing gone bad) made a lot of those updates standalone of android version it makes like old tablets unusable over the yeras unlike them ipads.
That being said, the advantage of having 4000mah battery is that you still get through every day and have more than the usual midrange 3000mah phone. I get through any day for weeks now even playing games. The tips in this thread are awesome and apply to any phone.
I might as well advise you to clean your USB type-c port once in a while with toothpick since dusts can cause unnecessary wakelocks to your device

Dust in the port really causes wakelocks. For proof, visit the BBS thread.
next guide will include stop using the phone and turning it off completely
Instead of doing all these, just spend a few bucks and get a powerbank.

Hi magaedy, this list is very useful thank you very much.
Thanks to a RF detector, i found out that my Poco was emitting very often without being sollicited, now I know what to try first.
(In case you are interested in my setup, you can have a look on YouTube searching JaMa6iK4lbM).
Again thanks a lot, this forum is really interesting.

Hi magaedy, no, the Pocophone F1 has nothing special regarding its RF electromagnetic radiation, it is just that I own one and that I can do some tests with it. In terms of SAR (Specific Absorption Rate), the Poco even complies with the FCC threshold which is the most stringent.
As a personal point view, i would just avoid to keep it onto my body when i must upload big files, or onto my head for long phone calls, especially when i'm not sure about the RF coverage (bad coverage implies that the mobile emits at its full power, which is e.g. 2 watts in GSM 900).
Depending on my LED light, now I can tell for sure

I want that suggestion. Gonna try it now
1.Uninstall unused apps
2.Force stop every app
3.turn on airplane mode when u r not use phn.
4.stop few sensor-brightness,gyro,ambient(if there is any software to stop sensor forcefully pls reffer)
5.User suggest BO,i suggest battery optimize must be off
6.use magisk lkt-battery
7.*DONT PLAY PUBG* its a battery hunger demon.

I would also wanted to add some battery saving tips:
1. Stick to only one, either Google or MIUI, cloud sync provider then disable everything you don't need on the other.
2. Go to Settings -> Permissions -> Other permissions -> Permissions (tab) -> Start in Background. Only choose the apps that you wanted permissions to receive notifications or third-party sync apps regularly. Others should be disabled. (IDK if this conflicts with MIUI's battery saver but I did it anyway).
3. Disable Double tap to wake or enable it in combination with pocket mode.
4. Put your phone on your pocket with display facing your leg. Prevents false trigger of FP scanner.
I have another suggestion. If using a custom ROM, don't install GApps. Instead use MicroG . I haven't done a side by side comparison, and I'll admit my usage today has been fairly lite, but so far my battery life is great!
I'm running the latest AOSiP ROM.

Does anyone have recommendations on how to go about disabling packages to help with battery life and general minimization of unnecessary things? I'm using Package Disabler Pro for Samsung.
For example: I just searched for "Bixby" and disabled every single package I saw. Is that safe? I'm always worried I'm going to end up having the opposite effect by disabling something I "can't" (shouldn't).
Any other obvious candidates beyond Bixby? Guidelines for how to go about it most effectively/efficiently?
Thanks in advance! It's been a while since I disabled packages this way.

I'm not so sure if this is what you mean:
Considering Samsung bloatware is one of the reasons why I ditched Samsung phones - I had 3 Note 2 and they were my last Samsung phones, until now. I was hoping too that the Samsung bloatware is now minimal. Apparently there's still the Samsung email, Music, Messages, Phone app, etc.
I searched around and found this guide. I dunno if the procedure will work for the N20U5G. I have yet to receive my unit. Until then I can't confirm.
i aim to err on the side of caution when disabling apps. even with that approach i managed to cripple my phone few times. i disabled Samsung device security once, forgot about it, and then spent few days despairing why may i couldn't update apps no more. My suggestion would be to disable app by app and remember what's disabled to undo it if need be. Also research what you want to disable, you can Google it directly from package disabler, and then make a decision.
One more thing disabling apps will not have significant effect on battery life or phone performance. It is more for us to feel in control.
Hi Guys,
Hope you all doing well.
So, I purchased an unlocked Pixel 7 Pro and got it delivered yesterday.
All seems good except camera which is very, very disappointing so far (obviously, the phone has the latest updates)
For example, no matter what picture I take in portrait mode, it takes 1-1.5 minutes (!!) to process it to add the blur which is insane as my 2 years old Notes 10 Ultra processes blur in 1-2 seconds. How is this even possible?
Do you guys have the same issue with portrait mode? I want to make sure its not my phone.
Also, I was reading that it is possible to add a blur to unprocessed picture from Google Photos but that option is simply missing from the menu no matter what picture I open.
For instance, Samsung Gallery app does add blur to all these unprocessed pictures so its not the picture itself. Google Photos simply doesn't have that option, its missing.
Google Photos also doesn't have any option to unblur a picture as its also missing. The was apparently one of the "perks" of Pixel 7 Pro but that option is not even there.
Do you guys also experience all this?
If the portrait mode processing is faster for you, can any of you kindly extract your camera and google photo apk and post it here? I will install these instead. Thanks a lot!
Try a factory reset. mine takes 4 seconds tops
Didn't help.
I didn't mention that I am using GrapheneOS.
Tried to flash stock Google image - and Portrait mode processing worked as expected.
I pulled out the original Photo and Google Camera apks from stock Google image, then installed Graphene again and installed these - same results.
It seems there are some additional libraries in stock image that are responsible for processing and they need to be installed in Graphene to make it work as expected? I couldn't identify any though - there was one called Pixel Camera Services that I also installed but still no joy.

GrapheneOS is an OS not a mod, and Google Camera works on it for a few years now - it only requires GSF to run. There are many people on XDA who are using GrapheneOS on Pixel phones so its not a unique thing. I was hoping someone who is on it can advise if they experience the same issues.

I agree, its a way out of Google so yes. I don't use any other Google aps so don't really need them. Such a shame the Cam is not working as expected - I might try GCAM instead.

Honestly, this topic is not about comparing phones - I own both and providing my feedback. Even with stock ROM, Pixel cannot match the capabilities of 2 years old Notes 20 Ultra - for example, Note 20 Ultra has real-time video background blur with different effects whilst Pixel's Cinematic mode doesn't offer many background effects and works much worse. Note 20 Ultra's portrait mode has much more different real-time effects, etc. But as I said this topic is not about comparing but trying to resolve a problem, so its pointless to write comments like this.
I took this one of my daughter just to see and mine did not have that problem. It processed quick quickly

It's pointless to write something is broken, and then ask people if theirs is broken too, while ignoring completely the fact that you're on a CUSTOM ROM while people are clearly saying "It's working" fine, yes, on stock ROM.
I'm not trying to argue now, but it's important to mention such stuff so people can actually "help" in a more "accurate" way instead of just writing "it works fine for me", while they're not using the same ROM as you do.
Peace

The issue you're having is not there in the stock ROM, something you didn't mention in your thread.
But I'll walk away because you're clearly ignoring the fact that you didn't mention here a KEY factor, because it's definitely the issue of your CUSTOM ROM and not stock ROM. So, don't get angry when you get responses like this.

in your experience, is there any benefit to any of the currently available custom roms that would increase performance and battery? I mean something bigger than just customisability and tinkering
I've been debating this too. I haven't rooted a device in 4 years. No real reason to anymore. I'm on the fence because I'm hoping for a true blackout theme and better animation transitions on a custom rom. Haven't pulled the trigger yet.

What roms are you referring to?
It has been scientifically proven that running custom kernels and/or roms helps to minimize E.D.
Mainly battery life. I have to charge my phone once every 1-1.5 weeks or so, vs every or every other day like most people.
*Keeping the screen brightness only as bright as you need it (i.e. not ecessively set or maxxed out--I keep mine around 1/4 maybe touch more, on the brightness slider.

Literally any?
GrapheneOS gets rid of all Google Services, thus (and overall) it's a lot more privacy-focused.
Performance isn't a huge issue on Pixel devices (imo), because the ROM they come with isn't super bloated, but you can always just use LineageOS, or any other barebones ROM if you don't need any fancy features, only sleek (slick?) performance.
I have always been a fan of ResurrectionRemix/crDroid, which are filled with TONS of features. Sure, depending on who you are, you might not care for most/some of them (double tapping on statusbar to lock the screen, changing the animation of quick settings tiles when you tap on them, blinking the flashlight when you receive a call, and many, many other small things).
Nowadays, even ROMs like this aren't hogging up your performance or ruin your battery life.
Besides flashing custom ROMs, rooting is still useful for me.
Yeah, getting SafetyNet to pass can be a bit of a hassle, but in exchange I get to use ACC to prolong my battery's health, I can get rid of the navbar pill, and I can use an lsposed module to disable secure flag in my transportation app, so I can take a screenshot of my ticket (should the inspector come when there's no cellular connection (and the app doesn't properly cache the ticket, because of great programming )).
None of these are deal-breakers, but as long as there's still an option for doing these, I wouldn't want to miss out.

Battery life and performance is pretty good as is. The stock rom on Pixels isn't super bloated, so it's not like it has much of an effect on battery or the performance of your phone. With the stock kernel I lost about 0.6% of battery every hour overnight, with MVK kernel that number got reduced to about 0.4%. Does it make a difference? Not at all.
I guess you could root and use a kernel manager to downclock the CPU to gain some extra SoT, but that's about it. If you're not much of a tinkerer, and content with your current setup, there's no real reason to switch to something else.

Not really. I have no friends. <s>
I'll use it outside/on road but even then, phone conversations and internet browsing is not very much. Here and there, etc. Mostly texts or instant msgs.But calls here and there. I have it set to charge max 75% and will recharge when it gets to around 20%. Running LineageOS w/ the kernel it comes with it. Nothing fancy. I don't use any social media app (or social media or that matter), so I don't have to worry about that stuff draining the battery. WiFI and/or VPN will so I tend to keep them turned off until I need them. If I used phone more regularly, I could see myself having to recharge it maybe every 3-4 days maybe, I dunno.
Battery life can actually be worse on custom ROMs that do not have Google Play Services. When an app uses Play Svcs to handle push notifications, things like notification pushes get are managed and batched together by Play Services. If a phone does not have Play Svcs, apps that use cloud notifications may have to register their own persistent polling services which can chew up battery. And then you have to disable battery optimization for that app so it doesn't get dozed.
I've at least heard anecdotal evidence that battery life suffers on GrapheneOS because of this. Say, if you have an email client and messaging apps that require a persistent polling service to look for new messages.
Nowadays when I look up reasons to use ROMs or root, I get annoyed when articles list modules or features that serve to fix the issues that the act of making these changes cause (eg- hide root from other apps, force apps to doze, magisk bootloop saver, etc). I mean now you're spending the time managing the problem you've created for yourself. It's silly. Unless there are practical reasons to customize, I see no compelling reason to do so.

Very well said. I've been thinking the same. Google does there optimizations pretty well and they have given even more options to even tinker with a lil more effecient as per your need. There's no need to go out of the way replace the whole rom. even if you do you should have a very good reason and it should have some very noticable difference that can be seen to any one... Though i always have a soft corner for the modding community. Because of their push oems are stepping up their game.
Interesting. I do have Gapps installed and regarding polling the servers, while I myself haven't had battery drain, I can definitely attest to custom roms possibly messing with polling. On my old M8 (which also had Lineage), if the phone was on standby for a long time, I would not get ANY text or IMs unless I turned on the screen, THEN I'd get a bunch of messages. Or even if the phone was on, I would have to send a text message to myself and then I'd get a bunch back from people. So, yes at least on that phone there was serious polling issues I opened myself up with.
Currently I am on the newer phone(s), which I don't experience those issues, but you are absolutely right about them.

I've also experienced that issue on my 3T running.. any custom ROM, basically. I think it's mostly fixed on newer ROMs though. YMMV.

Speak for yourself. I bought pixel for the HARDWARE, and specifically the fact that it isn't crippled (locked) and is properly supported in AOSP. The factory prebuilt software is utter trash with one purpose and one purpose ONLY: To track everything you do.
In order to safely use the hardware, it is NECESSARY to wipe the spyware from it. Either build AOSP from source yourself, or use a security focused distribution like GrapheneOS.

Add possibly Viper4Android on A13 some day and its perfect.
Safetynet / play integrity & hide root is pretty easy on stock, but did you have success on custom Roms?
My banking app doesnt even rely on Safetynet / play integrity and checks for root itself, but shamiko takes care of that, but I suspect it would detect a custom Rom and refuse to work.
An entire Rom would probably much harder to hide than just root.

Sure. Never had issues. Besides adding my banking apps to the DenyList, I also had to hide the Magisk app. What I've found is that some apps may look for the Magisk app being installed on your device (you don't even necessarily need to be rooted, just have Magisk installed).

I really hope someone finds out how to make it work on A13 soon, luckily my music app has an eq so its not like it sounds bad, but what I mostly miss is replay gain ig, when I'm outside music with a wider dynamic range is a bit of a problem, the quieter parts just drown in the outside noise.

yes, mine do, hideMyApplist takes care of that, for some reason when I hide magisk App, it gets picket up by AppListDetector (well not by my banking app at least).
I kinda wanna try a custom ROM but flashing an entire new ROM is a lot scarier than just rooting stock, like some apps might not be working cause they rely on google services etc, maybe when I buy a new phone in a few years and this one doesnt get updates anymore I could try that.

With all the scandals involving big tech all the time, do you really wonder why people distrust google & co?
In the end it's probably never as bad as you fear and never as good as you hope.
A13 has some nice privacy protecting features built in, like Android System Intelligence all happens on device, then again, gboard, google app, etc don't, ig u get a little bit of everything.
You can never be completely private, and for that reason some of my friends say "Well then it doesn't matter anyway, just know everything about me idc" and some others be like "ill just stop using all their services alltogether"
In the end everyone can do what they want cant they?

um, so?
Even if the ROM of your choice doesn't come with GApps preinstalled, you can always just sideload MindTheGapps.
I play this game called Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle, but it runs awfully on my X3 nfc even in 120hz, while I tried playing it on a lower spec phone (the galaxy A22) and it ran smoothly without any lag or frame drops. Recently I tried playing it on a different Poco X3 nfc and it was smooth, too. What could be the problem with my device? My phone is debloated, and is on MIUI 12.5.8 (Global)
Maybe you disabled a needed dependency or parent app/service... be careful what you disable.

So should I just reinstall all the apps I deleted/disabled?

Factory reset if you get desperate.
Otherwise look over what you disabled. Best to leave system apps alone. Best to understand exactly what an app does and its dependencies before you disable it. If you disable dozens at a time it makes troubleshooting much harder.
Target battery hogs, security threats and completely unwanted apps like Device Wellness.

I only uninstalled/disabled the apps found on the debloating safe list as I'm no tech expert. Thay was mainly because the battery life wss short and also because of ads.
Is there any other list that specifies the apps that heavily drain the battery and the security threats?

This app is the only one that I can't enable, whenever I try to enable it, it says "Failure [ADB error]", any idea on how I can solve this problem?
I don't know... what does it do?
A factory reset will work.
Idk lol
You've done enough tbh, thanks for your advice before, cheers.

It's a learning curve. What works for others may not work well for you depending on your needs and configuration. Best to hand optimize... it take time.
