Let me start a new thread dedicated to power saving problems of our amazing HTC ONE V device. Let's aggregate all knowledge about this together.
1. CPU Frequency settings.
How did you get these step frequencies? Is there explanation about rational voltage/freq settings, hardware SOC chip presets, or this was taken from mind? Why after 300MHz next freq is 800? where is step of 500MHz ? (for example)
2. do you know that ARM architecture has not only CPU freq/voltage tunings features? there is more then 10 hardware switchable timers and voltage control lines(regulators?) that used to be engaged in common powersaving routins. We have user-tuned CPU freqs, so what about GPU UV/OC? Sound subsystem? Heh, dunno, any clues?
3. as i noticed: fully charged ONE V(latest maxwen CM10 from 28/11 with HELLBOY kernel from 1/12) with screen off after 6 hours discharging did 50% discharge. And battery stats showed that 30% was consumed by phoneapp, and 30% by screen backlight. WAT??
a) screen was OFF almost all time, total time it was ON was less than minute, on a middle level of brightness.
b) I had phone conversation less then 5 minutes.
So, I guess, possible
a) there is something that do high load in phoneapp in background. That's ruined all idea of custom ROM. Possible inappropriate usage GSM tranciever? sound/mic hardware? failures in phoneapp routines with sound rendering?
b) there is incorrect backlight control behaviour. Wrong backlight voltage? Stay electrically enabled backlight/LED powerlines in offscreen? Higher power rates when screen is on? Overhead duty of light/proximity sensor?
and finally what I used to say:
a) on stock SENSE HTC ONE V ROM I had good battery saving results in standby 10% per 3-5 hours.
b) on stock ROM with TITANIUM KISS with OC/UV preset kernel I had better powersaving with 1.5GHz and lionheart/conservative governor 1-3 days of no-charge, even with wifi ON. (so as expected, lol)
c) on latest maxwen CM10 from 28/11 with HELLBOY kernel from 1/12 I had bad results: 50% in 6 hours(as I said earlier, with 5 min phone chat and 1-5 min of screen on, presets are: governor conservative, freq 200-800MHz, UV 700-950mV, wifi and 3g off)
Very possible, there were some optimal hardware(QUALCOMM/PRIMO) oriented powersaving algorithms in stock ROM, that allows to do fine voltage regulators tuning of LED, WIFI, GPU, sound subsystems. Stock kernel provides some PRIMO specific powersave API wich used by stock ROM, and CM10 does'nt know anything about it.
SO, I say CM10 & HELLBOY little bit inconvinient for everyday usage. We need more finetuning options in battery/screen/wifi chapters.
And second part of discussion:
1. Why voltages higher than 1.5GHz have so high voltage setting? Is there any hardware/datasheet explanations or it was just blind guess? What are minimal UV for these freqs?
2. What purpose of frequencies 24-122MHz? could we safely unlock them? Are they really used or just for lulz? Are they powersave effective?
3. Why freq steps are what they are? could we have more custom intermediate steps by kernel customizing, or they're hardware locked?
4. What is the problem with screen on amination?
5. What source of screen backlight flickering issue? Is HELLBOY flickering dirty hack safe enough?
Also share your UV/OC presets. My are: conservative/interactive/lionheart governor(wich give not much powersaving difference on CM10/HELLBOY as I told), SIO on disk and
24576-368640 700mV
768000 875mV //

1024mgz 4782
1500mgz 5599
2000mhz 6462 // 37.5 fps on knights, 8.1fps(max) on goblin fight scene
Just wanted to throw this mention in, as I'll be detailing more later. I'm implementing this in my own kernel. So I saw a GPU clock value in the kernel the other day. Technically I can create a simple sysfs entry that allows users to select the value just like CPU overclocking. This will also allow lowering the clock when not doing too many GPU intensive things saving battery life. Another thought is changing the under volt into a sysfs entry. Thanks to rohan I have a good commit to play with and port.

Hello,
I'm also using maxwen's CM 10 release, bit I don't have any experience like that. On 1ghz, frequent sync on wifi the night consumed like 10% of battery. As far as I know undervolting can be more battery consuming than original voltage because CPU have to do the same process anyway. So if you have changed Vs it can be an issue.
Currently I'm on 245mhz-1024 MHz Ondemand governor and 1000-1200mV voltage.

Hi. I also used CM-based ROMs and had troubles with phone sleep. With that ROMs phone not sleeping 1/3 of all time, when with Sense-based it sleep almost all time in same conditions.
It is known that JB is eating a whole lot of battery than ICS. So stop complaining about battery life. The life of battery also consists on how the user handles his phone. It is not my fault as a developer if you have an app (i.e Whatsapp) that eats cpu cycles 22hours per day and your battery drops very heavy.
Also, thread was reported as its place is in the [GENERAL] section

hm, it's bad news. Increasing battery usage for JB - great success for Android, huh? =)
I feel sense that there is a pit. For example Google Assistant(google now?) runs every time in background, and tries update all it's data about weather,traffic, map location, nearest places, etc. so today I switched this Assistant off. Also I use CM weather widget with 1 hour update, but for today experiment I switched off 3g/wifi/gps/sync funcs, so, Also I switched off auto backlight and set it to minimal. let's see what changed. I rebooted phone, and I will write here the results of consumtion. I think we should definetly investigate this powerleak issue.
I had stock ROM for 6 months and got the experience what apps I run, how long and how much battery consumes all basic operations. I know I cant complain on battery while playing game, or watching movie, or gtalk chatting. I feel the difference =)
(how to move thread to general forum?)
Can't really say a thing. I have -50mV UV on all freqs and up to 1.5GHz but the phone is rock stable even in 2GHz. I use smartrass v2 and cfq, is is max's famous cm10 up to date and hellboy 12/01 kernel, WiFi and sync on all the time, phoning for 1-2hrs per day and 3G on for radio and browsing for 2-3hrs per day, and has 2days of battery life, and I still have almost 10% when I arrive home. So battery is rather good for me.
Also I just want to say, that oc/UV setting can vary from the quality of the chips inside your phone. I installed cm10 on another hov just 1 week ago, and it can't work above 1.5GHz, while my phone can work flawlessly even at 2ghz uvd (but it eats battery and heats so I stay with 1.5 which is optimal in my opinion). So to say again UV and oc are highly a function of the quality of the chips inside of the current phone.
Sent from my hTC One V running the latest CM10 available
me again reporting in.
so, it is past about 11 hours from last charge.
I set interactive governor, 240-1500MHz, no UV, disabled Google Assistant, sync, gps, wifi,3g, removed all widgets, set minimal backlight.
Total: spoke about 15 minutes, screen was ON not more then 10 minutes, 2 minutes of 3g, no any other apps and gaems was run.
So I have now 69% wich is good result. When I has phone conversation percentage was decreased about 1% per 2 minutes, it scared me! =)
Also battery stats shows consumption: phoneapp 44%, screen 24%, network 12%, standby, 11%
AND I noticed, that battery chart shows some wakeup activity(blue stripes) every 3 minutes. What it could be? is it critical?
Resume: result is good, settings with no UV & <1500MHz show no powesave degradation in compare with stock freq 1000MHz.
From now I enabled sync, gps, add stock CM weather widget(all news disabled), and let see what may be changed.
About my battery consumption. Latest Cm10. Latest kernel. Charge was 100%, 1Ghz frequency. Played about 1 hour in Drag Racing with minimum light. No gps, no wi-fi,no bt emabled. So, after playing,it was about 50-55%. Hmm...Don't think it's valid consumption.
There's another thing that gives me no peace. I see my phone spent a lot of time in active mode, but no display enabled or any 'heavy' apps opened. How it is can be?

It's really OK, when you playing any game. backlight consume about 50-80% overall. not even CPU, wich do ULV magic. Keeping bluetooth ON is not a good idea too.
And finally I recommend you to read about measure experiment, which shows now much AMOLED display may consume battery. It's about ~20-50 mAH when screen is off, and ~250 mAH when screen is ON.(and it's only screen, we do not count CPU and peripherials, I may say NEON PRIMO consume 50-120 mAH on 100% load, much less then stupid screen, which technically has no backlight, cause it has AMOLED self-lighti pixels). it's serious business. You can calculate how long your smart would live with screen is ON, for example with 1300 mAH batt.volume.
read this. this post about comparsion of screen consumption with dark and light themes, is difference is noticable, and experiment shows measures, wich differs in twice.
use google translate and read this URL habrahabr.ru/post/161559/
I translated important table for your convinence: rghost.ru/42073682/image.png
(светлая схема == light theme , темная схема == dark theme )
and me again reporting in.
After 7 hours past since my last post, I got 30% only (when it was 69% I enabled sync, gps, add stock CM weather widget(all news disabled)). Screen was on not more then 5 min, 3 min phone conversation, no weather updates. It is good result, because it close to default environment.
so I can definetly say that my problem was in Google Assistant and 3G ON.
resume:
1. With disabled Google assistant , and 3G by battery consumption become close to stock behaviour,
2. except this, I've noticed that phoneapp consumes 1% per 2-3min
3. backlight even on minimal brightness consumes noticable energy volumes, more than we can expect.
4. default environment (with ON sync,gps, weather widget, dynamic brightness, no UV, OC to 1500MHz, off 3G, off wifi) shows good result. Device can live 1-1.5 days in moderate using, rare calls and no run apps/play gaems. (blame yourself when your game eats all battery during 4 hours)
In my other experiments
1. I will compare difference between UV and-non-UV modes.
2. What is more energy effective UnderClocking (max freq set to 300-700MHZ), or OverClocking(max set to 1200-1700MHz)
3. esimate consumption of stock music player and SPIRIT FM app on CM10
I will summarize stats of device in everyday usage, based on my feelings and experience. stay tuned. share your UV presets and cool stories.

Overclocked to 1.8GHz, I didn't touch the voltage or anything and it's stable.
2.0 = crashed on stability test
1.9 = Throttle issue
1.8 = So far stable.

No need to freeze. It's easy to disable - Run Google Search, press MENU - SETTINGS - ASSISTANT - choose disable(or do not show/ not update). thats all. From now all data of Google Now is not updating. Nevertheless you may use Google Voice and other.
With smartassV2 cpu govenor and disabled google assistant I've got pretty nice battery life on default 1024 MHz. Display brightness is on 25% most of the time (non auto). :good:
CM10-20121208, Hellboy-20121201
I'm using miui v2.8.10, titanium kiss, smartass v2, 245-1024Mhz, backlight at minimum, all animations are on, I'm not experiencing quick battery drain(charge it once per several days), but I'm using phone only for calls and surfing(mostly WiFi) from time to time.
yesterday I did a video record of 720p for 35 minutes of night street.(latest CM10 & hellboy) It consumes battery from 95 to 54%. All time screen was ON, and statistics showed 60% of time screen eats. No good, I think.
I'd like to move to an stock RUU and then I'll tell you what difference I feel.

Currently I am using this RomHere
(I was forced to because when I flashed an update to the Superuser app, it worked fine, but when I turned it off for the night, the phone wouldn't get past the 'HTC' startup screen, and trying to factory reset/ flash an RUU didn't work)
When I was using stock Froyo, the battery life was moderate. It *normally* used to go down around 1% every 2 hours or so in idle. Since I've flashed this new rom, it seems to go down 1% every 30 minutes instead, Even with the screen off and the phone fully off, the battery drains horribly quickly.
Any solutions?
That is the rome, dude. Sense2.1+3.0 drains more battery than stock froyo. That's the price. And 2%/h is not bad for sense roms.

It's that bad? Is it the whole of Sense which drains it, or more specific apps/widgets?

No, imho it's not.
Sense and the inherent runnig apps/widgets.
But with setcpu and a screen off profile (245 min 245 max @ondemand governor) you can really improve your battery standby power. You can download this paid app here for free, because you are an xda user:

Out of interest, does it damage the phone if it's underclocked? I'm just worried that I'll burn the CPU out f it is underclocked and clocked back to stock if I frequently turn the screen for mundane tasks like checking the time.
I recently flashed to that ROM too - and I agree, battery power seems to be draining slightly more quickly than what it was originally (it could be because I'm playing around with settings and exploring new features). But probably not so much more that I'd be worried... left it charging overnight, and seems like I will be able to get a full day of normal use out of it (currently ~65% left and ~3hrs till i get back home).
Maybe double check your sync settings? possibly they've reverted back to sync-ing more often?
Otherwise, I guess you can go for a lighter ROM (i believe cyanogenmod will use less battery since it doesn't have Sense UI).
Actually, the battery does go down faster on InsertCoin 1.0.8 if you use all the Sense 3.0 goodies for example the weather lock screens, weather widgets, and the windmill-thing live wallpaper, which also changes its apperance with the weather.
Those literally suck the battery out, 40% only in 3-4 hours.
I have tried to deactivate those and the battery live is back to normal.
...the only problem is...those goodies will make your Desire super duper beautiful...it was for me a very hard choice to turn those off

Dunno about that but nothing bad has happened by me and I have been using setcpu for more than 8 months.
I use set cpu to speed up my Desire a bit, I set it to 128 - 1136 with smartass governor. (carefull by setting higher frequencies)
tips for battery saving:
- turn off sense sync and any unwanted syncs
- reduce sync intervals.
- turn off automatic brightness control, and set it as low as possible but keeping it still visible.
- use smartass or interactive govenor on setcpu.
- turn the internet connection off if you are on low signal strength.

Yeah, the more animation, the more battery use. I think the only one I use now is the weather widget... though I actually prefer the old sense 'simple' animation, not a fan of the sense 3.0 videos... got to find a way to revert to the old one! (using clock lock screen.... prob chews up bit more battery than plain wallpaper, but oh so pretty!)
Hello
Does anybody use set cpu with HTC Desire ?
I would like to know wich settings work the best for you. I am trying to get the best compromise between battery life and performance.
Thanks
128MHz - 998MHz ondemand. I get more than enough life out of it. I found that if your using AOSP and not really doing much on it like just texting or calling people, capping the max to about 600MHz or 500MHz if you want, works a dream and you get even longer out of it.
Smartass is better or worse ?
I do not see any real difference between smartass and interactive in term of battery live and performance.
On demand seems to drain slightly faster than smartass.
I set my Desire to 384-1136 with interactive govenor.
I charge it once i a day each time before I go to bed anyways (sleeping time usually23.00 - 05.00), so further battery saving is not necessary to me
Edit...my normal usages are:
Syncs (no auto sync by opening):
Friendstream 4 hrs
News 4 hrs
Weather 6 Hrs
push Yahoomail
push Googlemail
push Whatsapp
push EBuddy
Active background :
Lookout antivirus
No app killer used
Phone calls : about 1-2 hrs each day
Music listening mit DSP add-on : 4 hours
Fruit ninja (man! this is addictive!) : 1 hrs
Browsing (Dolphin HD + Android market) : 2 hrs
welll....every time I charge my battery it is about 15-25% left till out of juice...if I use my phone more than those, I have to charge it earlier (more than once a day)
245 - 985 MHz Conservative give mere 36 hours power and running smooth.

For me the battery has never lasted more than a day... Even on my un-rooted one...
BTW: Battery live depends on many things
1. Your ROM and kernel
2. Your runnning application, syncs, etc.
3. your usage and settings such as cpu freq, display brightnes, airplane mode, etc.
4. Received signal quality.
5. The condition of the battery...is it top fit for example?
It is difficult to measure the battery live.

I don't like using any of the other governors since I get lag. I hate lag. OnDemand gets rid of the lag for me. I've had it before where I was using smartass and it took ~30 seconds for my screen to turn back on from idle. I wasn't too impressed.
setcpu
thanks meaple for your advice
i think that set cpu is fine on "ondemand" for some roms and for others roms no
set cpu is included on oxygen settings and running well
Cool, I need to download Setcpu
128-998 ondemand
screen off 128-384 ondemand
in call 128-384 ondemand
I get very good battery and performance with theses settings.

80% - 100% - 998mhz
59% - 79% - 600mhz
35% - 58% - 500mhz
Screen Off - 300mhz
Priority was higher for lower battery %
BUT I stopped using it because of the little bugs, like when it changes to 384mhz for no reason after unlocking screen
It also affects the standard script with the rom you install, so you can never uninstall it properlu, you have to do a full wipe install and never install it, until I did that my phone was always a little laggy
I prefer my phone without it Each to their own
@shankly1985 - you didn't noticed wakeup lag with 128 MHz?
I must use 245 - x MHz to properly and fast unlock my phone.
Best Setcpu config for Desire is - no Setcpu at all.

Hello,so what kernel you like to combine with PA? -Nexus 4
I've tryed few
Franco r203-i think is has a battery drain problem /no update till now...
Trinity-no gama controll(and that is pretty annoying for me)
faux-idk why i just dont like that kernel
matrix-ok battery but low fps in gaming(maybe im doing something wrong?)
hellscore-hmm idk how its now ....
I would love to try ElementalX but its only for N5
The "wish list"
-over 4 SOT in wi-fi(3g,bluetooth,nfc,data,gps-all OFF ,dont need them)
-has customizable color-gama
-low consumption over night
-NO low fps in games like Asphalt 8(can change pref with Per-App modes if need [low on daily apps and custom profiles for games])
Thats all
What do you recomand?A few pros/cons on the kernel.
Try hellscore b43
http://d-h.st/users/hellsgod/?fld_id=27672#files
hells-Core-b43-kk-t2.zip. Flash this file. Enjoy!
This kernel gives better battery life for any ROM. 100% results.
After a day of testing more kernel
My favorite for now are:
Trinity- 4cores on all time and combined with tkt for gamma
Hellscore b43 -its very cool ,i'm very curious how will perform over night the b44 version because the low frequency
This 2 i love the most
For what it's worth, I have no exceptional battery drain using Franco Kernel. I lose ~1% per hour with the screen off, and <0.5% per hour with the screen and radios off, which is as good as it get for this device, in my experience.
With normal usage and without disabling Location Services or radios, I tend to get 5 hours of screen-on-time; sometimes more.
So till now trinity and hellscore in 5% drain i get over 15 min of youtube playback but on franco r203 in 5% i get like 8-9
Edit:I've changed from 1,5 to 1 and now it's battery drain is much better ,like the other 2.
Lupus kernel. I was using the awful one that came with FreeXperia but that was crashing 20 times a day. Finally found Lupus and it hasn't crashed since. Battery lasts at least four times longer too which I didn't think was possible, and I haven't seen since using the stock ROM.
(Android has crashed once but that's because it's Android)

I think this should've been posted in AT&T Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting.
Any-who, I can't even get 3 hrs of SOT but battery can easily last ~30hrs of deep-sleep/light usage. I'd love to know a fix T.T
The most I've gotten was 4 hrs SOT using the S3Rx ROM a long time ago.
Flashed the 5.1.1 OctOs-OctL M4 rom with latest regular DKP kernel and pico GApps, and got the black-out theme from playstore: Intellidemand governer and zen schedueler; read ahead set to 1024 for internal and external; westwood tcp congestion, undervolted -100mv across the board, simple GPU algorithm from faux, gpu voltage intact, underclocked to max freq 1242mhz. ~10% battery for every ~40-ish minutes of youtube. adaptive brightness; stock battery, NJ2 modem. Not too shabby, eh?

Whoa! Thanks for sharing your settings. I'm on OctOs too!
@canodroid15, have you been able to get results like this? I know you also tweak your kernel a bit on OctOs.
Some stuff I missed in the first post: GPU gov is "simple," along with faux's simple algorithm, KSM(?) Is disabled (the option where it takes less CPU, not sure if that was enable or disable) GPU clock is 480, read ahead was actually 2048 for ext and int. Screen timeout is 30 seconds, live display is set to automatic. Results: (lots of WiFi, YouTube, and general browsing/messaging. Little to no data/GPS usage, sync is off, greenify stuff)
By this day I'm able to acquire such sot on Mokee rom. It's quite fast. But unstable. Self reboots on typing and calls.
Is OctOs rly stable to be daily driver?

OctOs is good for a daily driver, but I heard that bluetooth is no good on M4. You have to update to the latest weekly of OctOS to fix that. I think the weeklies are stable in that regard. I've been playing around with the CyanogenMod With a Twist by matrixzone; using the deathly kernel. Getting really good results with that too. Some more tweaking, and I'm confident that I'll hit the 4 hrs of SOT.

Yes, the latest weeklies are extremely stable and much preferred over the M4 release.

Yay. I'm enjoying it right now. But I've found a bit of bug for me. I'm unable to switch network operator. It just gives me an error. I need it to use 3g cos my operator uses roaming with other one for 3g... Yay, it's Ukraine Bros.

Bug confirmed!
You might want to report that to the devs at OctOS. Anyone else got some crafty stuff for SOT? Here's what I got so far:
ROM: matrixzone's CM OS with a twist (7/21)
GApps: PA modular Pico universal
Kernel Auditor settings:
CPU:
max clock @1242mhz
Interactive gov
Multi-core power saving set to aggressive
-75Mv across the board for voltage
Disable MPDecision and enable Intelliplug with Eco Performance profile
486 max freq for screen off
I/O:
Tripndroid schedueler
int read ahead set to 2048
ext read ahead 1024, and bfq sched
Misc:
Disable KSM (optional)
Westwood tcp congestion.
As always, disable sound and vibrations on touches, adaptive brightness, Greenify with root. Oh, and chummy dev team's Black-out theme
I'm playing with dkp kernel, and such pretty stuff..
I'll attach screenshot to this post after uni. There are will be different settings than previous in this thread.
So here is result of heavy use when 50%+ of brightness when playing MMO and mostly surfing via chrome. OctOs last nightly. With last dkp. From 04.10
Min mhz 54, max 1026.
Multicore PS aggressive.
Freelunch gov.
Undervolting - 25 each freq.
GPU to 300 mhz with simple algorithm by faux.
Laziness to 1.
Ramp threshold to 8.
All other is like listed some posts before mine.
I think you can get up to 5 hrs with moderate use. I'll try tomorrow.
@SirLaughsalot, thanks for sharing your settings!
CAUTION: Excessive moisture may develope in your pants. Keep the tissues handy.
Crazy sh** coming soon. Stay tuned peeps
EDIT: Hold on to your butts people. This one's gonna take a while .
FIRST AND FOREMOST: THE RESULTS
Everything about my phone's hardware is stock, other than protective casing. Stock 2100mAh battery. It went through two full charge cycles before this, and charging was done %0 to %100 when the phone was turned off. Everything you see below is real. I sh** you not. No point in making stuff up. An important thing to note is that these settings are not keeping gamers in mind. Simple users who are willing to sacrifice 720p video streaming (videos are laggy @720p. Happens to me on every LP rom.) will find these settings useful.
1. Scenario one: Normal college day. Phone taken off charge at 7:30 am. Full brightness til ~5pm. Battery lasted well over 12 hours. Battery finally ran out because I forcefully drained it by watching a few episodes of a show via firefox. At standby, I am very confident in it lasting well over a day or two.
2. Scenario two: Non-stop screen-on the moment I took the phone off charge. Started a youtube video (all cutscenes from the game Asura's Wrath; ~5 hrs long @480p) using youtube app, volume with speakers, lowest brightness the whole time. Mt. Everest was toppled by my crotch after I saw these results.
Yep. 7 hrs of screen on time. Again, I'm not here to troll. I have better things to do (like tweaking my phone ).
Here are the long awaited settings (first system settings, then Kernel Auditor):
THE ROM/GAPPS:
ROM: Latest BrokenOS (v3.9) taken from their G+ page.
GApps: tk modular PICO universal
Flashing method: Latest TWRP, first wiped everything in advanced wipe options except for ext sd and usb-otg. Then I formatted data, and hit factory reset. After that, I rebooted the recovery via reboot options in twrp, and selected the flashing order as follows (flashing from ext SD card, btw): ROM, GApps, SuperSU. Reboot once done.
SYSTEM SETTINGS
.25x animation speed in dev options, "faster than light" animations speed in Nova launcher settings.
Sync is off, mobile data is off unless necessary; same goes for WiFi.
Applied "Pitch Black Free" layers via built-in Layers Manager.
Adaptive screen brightness, Livedisplay set to automatic, Screen time-out set to 30 seconds. Daydream is set to off. Ambient display is off.
Hardware buttons backlight set to 1 second timeout. Disabled on screen nav-bar by going into settings>broken pieces>navigation>0dp nav bar height. Disabled Broken recents menu (using stock recents menu for convenience).
Disabled NFC, Hotspot search, and Location.
Dark material keyboard found in settings>language and input>android keyboard (AOSP)>appearance and layouts
Backup and reset is off.
Vibrate on touch disabled for the keyboard.
Dial pad tones, Screen locking Sounds, Touch Sounds, Vibrate on Touch are all diabled under "other sounds" found in settings>Sound and Notification.
Adaway is installed and running
Greenify installed and running. Do NOT greenify AdAway and Pitch Black. Wakelock detector should be left alone too, if you have that installed as well
Brightness usually kept at minimum via quick settings slider bar.
Uninstalled Amaze, Browser, and Email via built in system app uninstall tool. Replaced them with inbox, firefox, and ES File explorer. This is a personal preference, and not really necessary.
Kernel Auditor Settings:
CPU:
Frequencies: 1134 max, 384 min.
Governor: darkness
leave everything else stock.
CPU Voltage
MAY NOT WORK ON EVERY PHONE. Proceed at your own risk. Be sure APPLY ON BOOT is DISABLED

CPU Hotplug
Disable MPDecision and enable IntelliPlug if it isn't set this way already.
Conservative profile for intelliplug
Max screen off freq set to 486MHz. Leave everything else stock.
GPU
Everything stock because they revert back. If you can change it, then try "simple" governer for GPU.
Schedueler
sio for internal, bfq for ext.
Read-ahead: 1024kb for bot int and ext.
Kernel Samperage Merging
disable KSM (you choice on this one)
Misc Controls
optional: 100% vibration
Dynamic FSync enabled
TCP Congestion: Westwood
Well, There you have it. I hope this helps you lot, @sjamie , @#000000 , @youssefkr . Be sure to hit thanks, and if you can; SAY NO TO WINDOWS: http://www.linuxmint.com/, as well as https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/mint-cinnamon-first Be sure you get the Cinammon edition if your computer can run Windows 7 and above. Second URL follows Cinammon, but the same site has the same guide designed for other distributions as well.
That's all for now folks. Cheers!
Lol Bros. 150mv undervolt... Still no bugs. With awesome OctOs ^^ and dkp kernel
Will try to undervolt more.
And battery lasts more longer and longer
My best battery performance with my 4 years old device and original battery presently on pac rom and dkp 4 Oct kernel
This is my BBS results with 50 MV under volt on board and using greenify with xposed
Total ON time 21 hrs 27 minutes
Screen on time 4 hrs 44 minutes

Whoa! You guys have some amazing battery life. The max I have gotten was about 12 hours of use and 2 hours of screen on time. Of course I dont really mess with the frequency and volts. I just like it stock.
With root we can modify some kernel parameters of a stock or modded kernel. What is the best configuration you have found to improve speed and battery?
I start first.
ROM Genisys 3.4 Marshmellow 6.0
Kernel SuperXe 1.6 (stock cpu freq)
App Kernel Adiutor
CPU Governor (for big and LITTLE cores): interactive
GPU Governor msm-adreno-tz
Adreno idler: on
Scheduler I/O: Zen with 512kB Read-ahead (for internal memory); BFQ with 2048kB Read-ahead (for external SD - 64GB)
TCP congestion: Westwood
Doze settings: GeraldRudi profile
With that settings, apps and games run fast and smooth and I have a great battery life for a day full of work. And yours?
Stock.
Everything runs fast and stable. Battery lasts all day, 4h SoT :good:
I am the battery champion around here - lol
I routinely get 22-30 hours!
running Stock 20B, rooted, unlocked bootloader and a few little tweaks here and there (chase down what apps are running when idle and kill them off if not necessary with Autostarts or similar program and debloat anything your do not need - I use Link2SD and convert system apps to user apps then reboot and uninstall them)
and don't run silly stuff you don't need, such as CPU governor - the one already running on your phone works as well as any, having two just wastes CPU time and confuses things

22 hours SoT indeed is very impressive. 22 hours runtime is nothing special, at all :good:

your comment seems silly, what kind of moron would keep his screen on continuously for 22 or 30 hours?
like when you are talking on the phone, typically don't need the screen on for that! - or using the phone for music, or as a wifi hotspot, etc.
the trick I was trying to convey here is to keep the screen *off* as much as possible, and as few apps and processes running as possible, both background and foreground!
but I certainly didn't mean the phone was idle either, it's always being used :good:

So the result is normal and/or really bad, without stating the SoT.
22/30 hours is nowhere near champion level, at all. Hence my ironic remark.
