Adrenaline ROM 2nd Edition [BATTERY MAXED OUT WITHOUT LOSING PERFORMANCE]

First hope all the Devs dont get me wrong.. im just giving some usefull tips over here in way to make everyone happy and share my achievments
You may not belive me but it worths a shot to try it i guess, since i say im able to have my GIO running over one day and half using it a lot and by that i mean:
- around 1,000 text messages (here in portugal text messages are free for same operators)
- 1-2hrs of total voice calls
- 3g always on with syncs every hour
- Wi-Fi turned on around 4hours
- Radio and music playing around 1h
- besides some games, facebook,email...etc...etc.. apps used
So think about it... i've just realized a lot of ppl in here have some problems with battery in GIO, so im not advertising im just helping everyone!!!
So what would you need?
-Samsung GIO
-Adrenaline ROM 2nd Edition
-Internet connection
-and the most important part... patience!!
So lets take this in simple steps...
Get Adrenaline ROM 2nd Edition and then is where the tricks begin...
you'll have A2SDGUI app open it:
Just activate Apps are on SD!
Zipalign on Boot is on
then on Dalvik tab:
Dalvik Cache on SD-EXT
Dalvik JIT is on!
then Move and Rebuld!
(ths step is important cause in my point of view is what it makes the rom faster after the next steps, this way you'll improve your RAM free space what is a must have eheheh)
After that phone will restart just wait and enter A2SDGUI again but now on LowMemory tab:
Select Ultimate low memory settings and CHANGE!
(no probs found with multi tasking with that config over here... but you may lower it if you find troubles)
then A2SDGUI is done
Now... i use SetCpu because of the Profiles setting if you dont have it use NoFrills CPU and skip the profiles part
Max 480000
Min 245760
Conservative
*Set on boot
Profiles part:
*Enable
1st: Screen Off
Priority 100
Max 245
Min 245
Conservative
2nd: Battery < 30%
Priority 50
Max 320
Min 245
Conservative
Ok guys that's it you've finaly made the hardest part... you can always try to edit this configs at your own desire but this is the way i found it way smooth and with good battery! Just meant to share it!
The one and the last part is a "add on" im still testing...
an app called Battery Calibration, that basicly does the same as "Wipe battery Stats" but you avoid the entering recovery part
plus im doing it weekly every fridays and just do half of the calbration process...
Let me describe it:
Friday morning when its 100% go to app to clean battery stats... and just let it go till 0% battery when its completely dead normaly at sunday while having dinner
Hope you guys liked it and appreciate my explanations... if i made some ILLEGAL thing dont censure me just warn me and if you dont like my post dont complain or insult...
AS I SAID IM JUST TRYING TO HELP EVERYONE ;D
... besides for more explanations or doubts just ask
And dont forget to hit Thanks if this helped you for sure
Now is up to you guys to try it or not, as i said no differences in performance but big ones in battery

Mine doesnt really look like a tutorial..
i made it rushing (unfortunly) i dont even know if it works for everyone since depending on ppl use of phone diferent settings must be applied
and besides that topic is from Ace, but doesnt differ too much from mine so thats nce to see
besides he talks in undervolting and havent see any values for it but is something im going to try it soon on GIO and check the results...
Just to add some more info on my post battery last for 2 days now the battery calibration is maybe working for sure lol
if anyone has tried my methods please post feedback
just to make it clear i wont modify anyones ROM just trying configs to boost battery

No wonder you are doubling the battery life, you're clocking it to half the speed!
Doesn't it affect performance though?

thanks for trying to help people.....That part i appreciate.
underclocking the phone will be good for only those that rarely use their phone for anything other than phone calls/texts....but for using browser, games etc...it will be terribly rough....
why is battery life such a concern? it doesn't matter to me if i plug it in beside my bed each night if i have to.
to each their own though
but the main things that affect battery is not the cpu speed....its the use of internet (mobile net or wifi) along with the things that occur in the background such as email and messenger app syncs that use internet.
edit: i reread this part again:

Well I find your advice good, but I clock it at 673 MHz max, it's smoother and I can do absolutely everything. But all in all, great

Battery problems

I flashed the honeycomb battery icon. I have another app that I've been using (Android booster) that is a task killer. it shows my battery life, it was right on before the new icon but now they don't match up the widget says I have 10% more life in my battery then my battery icon on my status bar. Is there any way to fix this problem? or should I just deal with it
Thank you in advance

1st off, I'd recommend dumping any "task killer" as the GN2 has this functionality built in, especially since we're talking about battery performance...
2nd, I'd concentrate more on wakelock settings, and if I had to download any app it would be those that helped manage this. This way you can force everything to sleep when your not using your phone...
Also, depending on the governor, you may need to adjust your phones clock throttling upon waking/using the device, custom may be your best bet, but there might be a "built-in" profile that works perfectly for your particular individual usage

For some reason, I seem to only be able to manage about 5 hours of screen time. I've heard of people getting 6-8 hours.
I'm using this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2150145 but for some reason, that thread isn't very alive..
I tried the jedi ROM, but I just can't stand it when developers change little things about the UI. Is 5 hours normal for a ROM that's mostly stock? I'm using the UNEAK kernel.

[APP] Deep Sleep Battery Saver

Hello folks,
I came across this app which basically forces your phone into deep sleep mode when not in use( screen off). It turns data, wifi off etc. And wakes phone on in every half hour or other intervals you choose to check email etc. It does not do much when you are using the phone but saves a lot of battery when the phone is not being used.
I am using CM10 alpha 6 and it works great for the time being. I highly recommend it for people having battery issues.
If you want to try go to google play and search for "deep sleep battery saver".
My first impressions are really good.Just wanted to share...
Edit: Here is the link for play store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.batrsaver
Here is the link for the xda-version thread where you can get .apk

as your recommended, we would appreciate if you include a playstore-link of the application
so we can download the right apps directed form your link easier,
and most users here use their mobile or tapatalk to access the xda forums
thank you

Link is added on the first post.
Apparently there is also free xda version of the app which includes paid options. There is a thread created by the developer on xda but since I am on my phone right now, I cant find the link. But a google search will lead you there.
EDIT: Link for xda version is also added for your convenience.

That is the point. It just wakes every once in a while (30, 45, 60 minutes etc. you define) and get all sorts of notifications etc. There will be delays for notifications. It is a price to pay for a dramatic increase in battery life. If you want to be notified immediately for a facebook, twitter etc., then this is not for you.
Now I can get around 30 hours of battery life easily. Before my battery used to die in about 17 hours or so. So the choice is up to you..

You should kindly let us know which "other battery saver" app you are talking about... As we are looking for the best to get the longest the battery life.

this's my first app i use. since the update cutting their feature and design have changed. i dont like it
2x battery
Simple and little ram memory usage means save battery and performace too
battery saver DU - battery booster
80% have same interface between booster and saver DU. but i prefer saver DU cz have more feature
Deep slep battery
i have try this app for several day, and it not so much saving battery than other
thats it, hope it will help you

Tweaks for saving battery without compromising on performance

Battery is one of the things that's critical for your mobile's day to day use.
I have done my research on the things that has impact on mobile phone's battery life and I am going to jot down the stuff that can clearly save your battery.
1. Changing your scheduler.
By default Android devices comes with CFQ(COMPLETELY FAIR SCHEDULER) which is the worst, So please change it to SIO(SIMPLE I/O) scheduler, This scheduler has been voted as most stable and better for battery. It even solves the heating up issues.
NOTE: DON'T NEED TO OVERCLOCK OR UNDERCLOCK your device if your planning to use your device on a long term basis, Changing the scheduler will do fine
2: Install wake-lock detector
The wake-lock detector requires root, It gives you the idea of what rogue apps makes your device stay awake, Staying awake drains a lot of battery, Best thing to do is to uninstall the rogue apps.
3: Do not install Battery saving apps
Let it be any application, They claim they save your battery by monitoring the unnecessary background apps and closing them. They don't let the device to sleep, Let it be juice defender or you name it. Do not do that.
4: Install push notification fixer
Complaints about push notifications are solved by this APP, It resets your ping time, So that you don't spend unnecessary juice trying to connect to the server.
5: Disable google now
There are better apps which can tell you weather reports, If you feel like you are depending upon google now, Just disable "LOCATION HISTORY" and "LOCATION REPORTING".
6: Wiping cache and Dalvik cache
If you have restored apps using a back-up tool such as Titanium backup please make sure you wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache once you are done restoring, It just optimizes your apps.
7: FACEBOOK MESSENGER AND VIBER wakelocks
As useful as they are they cause so many wakelocks, Use default facebook app for messaging and VIBER app can be greenifed using GREENIFY. Whenever you need it you can use them, Once u open the app u can get the missed call info as well, So if your real hungry for battery do this.
8: USING GREENIFY
Frustrated about apps causing wakelocks, Install GREENIFY and forget it. The app will be available whenever u need them , But it won't run on the background thus saving battery.
9: Do not manually close APPS
Android has got it's own task manager which does a pretty good job, Each time you close and open an app each requires more juice, So let android handle with the task and stay relaxed
10: Turn your sync off
With push notifications on, You will get your twitter updates and hotmail without sync, The only app that requires sync is GMAIL, which you can do it manually
I am posting my screenshot as proof.

Thank's Bro

Hi all,
I don't know if it is a good thing or idea i'm doing everything but so far it is working for me and I would like to get your opinion about that method for using less battery, the fact is that I always use my phone on 2G and wifi and GPS is on only when using them but for the apps I always force stop them and they remain stopped unless I open the app once again and I found I gain on my battery usage with my battery lasting for 2 to 3 days depending on the usage (many sms, sometime facebook, viber and whatsapp, messenger) but I force stop when I finish.
Do you think it is a good idea to do like that??

Don't change the kernel.

Kernel is like the heart of the ROM bro, DEVS have taken good time finding out which is best suited for stability and battery life.
I am using SENTINEL ROM and i have the sentinel kernel that comes along with it, I don't want to experiment with it, Coz it just works fine.
The kernel that comes along with your ROM should work fine, In case you want to experiment with other kernels you can do so, But you will have to find the one that best suits your ROM :good:

Everytime you manually close your app, It will take more battery to load up the next time. The default android will watch your usage and kills it accordingly. It is best to leave it to android. Cause everytime you launch a app freshly there is some extra drain. So best to leave it to android.
I used manually clear the apps as well, But now I never do that, Guess what i get better battery :good:

Thanks A Lot
Hi
Thanks a lot for the useful post, i have increased my battery life by almost 70 percent.
My battery never used to last for more than 9 to 10 hours & now it last for almost 20hours, attached my screenshot.

3 days with Zl... is this normal?

Hi everybody
I had bought a Xperia Zl 3 days ago and I love it (I used a Xperia P before) now I have 3 point that I don't like of it
1. Sony UI (is not ugly as hell but it can be better)
2. Battery (it goes very fast for me)
3. Sony update service (they are so slow releasing upgrades)
So, the problem is the second one, is normal this phone eats so much battery?.. But there's something else, the download is not normal for me, the phone when is full charged and I disconnect it begins to down the battery in pair numbers I could say, from 100-98 from 96-94 but really fast, just making calls?
Then, when 60 percent of battery arrives the download begin to slow the speed I mean the battery is during more....?
Is this normal? What do you think? Sorry for my bad English and long text...
Cheers

Welcome.
1. Sony UI:
You can install the launcher / theme of your choice. Many people go (in Google Play) to:
Nova Launcher,
ADW Launcher,
Apex Launcher,
Holo Launcher,
GO Launcher EX,
MiHome,
Regina Launcher,
Smart Launcher,
SPB Launcher,
Next Launcher,
etc,
only to return, months latter, to the original Sony launcher (this is my case).
2. Battery:
Please remember the power management options (stamina, low battery mode), and also turn off GPS, bluetooth and data transfer unless you really need it (Wifi usually consume less power than 3G). If you want more, there are some really good threads in XDA about how your battery could last longer.
3. Update service:
Our system (10.3.1.A.2.67) is now way better than it was when Sony launched it at first. The users that don't have changed anything in the System folder have received updates in an optimal frequency: I bought this mobile less than one year ago and have already received a dozen updates (including some patches in apps).
Congratulations, you have a good mobile.

Root, Greenify and TiBu the bloat - that's the biggest killer of any smartphone, regardless of manufacturer. Granted, Sony is better than most for not including a lot of crap, (I'm looking at you Samsung!), but if you're never going to use the program, why bother having it installed, cached and possibly in memory?
Root your device and TiBu uninstall the apps you don't want. I reduced my usage from 1GB of RAM at idle down to around 400mb mark.
I greenified almost all apps, and now I get roughly 10% drain over night with all features on, WiFi, NFC, Bluetooth and 4G, no Stamina Mode!

thanks to all of you for your answer but i'm using the leaked rom without root? =/... i'm thinking in use cyanogenmod how good or bad run this rom???
