I think that for better battery savings more than one app should be installed.
Greenify. Reducing wakelocks and keeping CPU usage as low as possible + longer standby sessions = win.
Greenify n Qualcomm Battery Guru... Greenify made a big difference.. QBG seems like a normal battery saver app..
But, for example : Freezing apps with Titanium is better than hibernating the apps with Greenify ? Does Greenify do the job 100 % ? I mean freezing must have up's and down's ofcourse, but when you want to open an app from a frozen state, it will open normally without any bugs ? I agree that Greenify it's the best out there ,but what I'm trying to say/ask is if it is ok to froze an app.

You would freeze system apps that you don't need. While use greenify to hibernate apps that you do you but don't need running when the screen is off. Such as Facebook or maps.
If greenify doesn't let you hibernate apps cause they are system apps, use titanium backup to convert them to user apps. Or delete the app, eg facebook or maps and then reinstall it from the market

I have this option in Titanium : Integrate updates of system apps into ROM. Is that option the right option to integrate those apps into ROM? Or that option integrates only the apps updates? Well, I just found out, don't do it, don't integrate, it will mess up your phone. Apps will start disappear from where you put them, and so on, it sucks big time.

I am running the paid version of titanium backup not sure if that makes a different. But if you select an app there is an option to "covert to system app" or "concert to user app" but obviously you should only do it for apps that you understand.
Your easiest solution is to reflash or install your rom but without clearing or wiping your user data, so just system files are replaced. Or use a backup of you have one

I think this should be on Q&A, not sure.
Anyway, try Autostarts from Play Store.
You must search here:

Autostarts
Autostarts, it's a paid app in the play store. Amazing app! After a flash its my first app downloaded right after titanium backup
I also use Autostart, it is a great way to stop apps from auto-running in the background!
But wich Autostart ? On Google Playstore we have two apk: One from Michael Elsdörfer, and other from Cyberhorse.
Wich is right ?

i recommand using app called "fast reboot" its not auto but its a 1 click thing
also u can use the go launcher task manager
it has n auto stop option and also the one click thing that stops all running apps.
its great and im using it
no u dont need go launcher 2 run it
in my opinion u must not force close apps as it restarts and drain more battery.
android manages the background apps very efficiently

Brother if you have 80+ apps on your phone,its the apps taking up all the ram,not the rom,you need to delete the ram hogs from your phone and then you will see more ram,i promise.

Im not sure what apps you have on your phone,but when you install an app,when your at the install menu,where it says install/cancel,look at the screen and it shows what kind of access the app needs,trust me,probably 90% of the apps you have on your phone needs internet access to update,get info about you for things like facebook or something and other things,so their constantly running in the background,get you a task manager and it will show all the apps that are running on your phone at the same time.

Also get you an app such as gemini that allows you to change how and when your apps launch. Just make sure you have a nand before making changes. Most apps auto launch at boot then if you kill them with a task killer they just open back up within a few moments.

I discovered this gem of an app a couple months ago thanks to an article on Lifehacker. Lifehacker's app recommendations can be hit or miss, so I took this with a grain of salt. But after trying it for a couple months, I couldn't be happier with the results and it's become one of my absolute favorite apps. I've noticed a few of you mentioning it in various forums as well, so apparently word has gotten around! But to those of you who have yet to try Greenify, I would highly recommend it. Basically it "auto-hibernates apps". So, for instance, if you have the Facebook app, but don't necessarily care to have it running in the background eating valuable battery life, Greenify will hibernate that app for you. It's very simple to set up and it has definitely extended my battery life after adding around 7-8 apps to my hibernate list. I'm attaching the Lifehacker article and Google Play links below.

basically, go into "manage apps" -> "running apps" and determine which apps are running that you really do NOT NEED to be running all the time. for me, it was facebook, scramble with friends, beat the streak, play music, and a few others. I then open the greenify app, and selected just those apps. then, greenify will hibernate them so that they are not running in the background. only downside is that I do not get notifications for those apps (which is fine by me). however, I can still access them just fine and they launch very quickly/smoothly as if they were not hibernating.
How did you Greenify Play Music? I don't see it on the list. Is that considered a system app?

Can anybody help me out by explaining (or linking to me an article that explains) how Greenify actually works its magic? Does it just run a service in the background that is constantly monitors active processes that have been "Greenified" and forces these processes to go into "Hibernate" mode when the screen is off, and prevents any partial wakes?
Thanks guys.
Before greenify I would unplug my phone at 930 pm and wake up at 5 am and the battery would be at 78%, with greenify doing the same method I only drop to 88%!

Disabling stuff too.

Also upgrade Google Maps back to 6.14.4 is a huge one on my phone. Not so much on the tablet but I may use it in the car more. Will need My Maps for travel.

How will you use google map/navigator on the tablet? Is your table with 4G? As far as I know google map requires network access.
I am using CoPilot for navigating in the car. It uses downloaded maps.
With my phone I have been using google navigation but I did not like it too much. It is too insistent with its idea of where to go. It will only
recalculate the route after many miles passed its suggested direction. I had this issue in highway, it may be different in city navigation.
I rooted my S 8.4 wifi (T700) and cleaned bloatware.. now I would like to install twrp or cwm.. to make a backup and play deeper with the toy..
Has anyone done it already? Any different from other androids?
Thx.
@Peter234: Probably tethering. I have zero problems using my Note 3 as a hotspot. I also think that Google Maps will let you 'cache' a route as well; IIRC it's one of the Labs features.

Debloating doubles your battery life, and the device will always respond much faster because those running system apps eat up a lot of RAM and CPU power. After I did a massive debloat, the lag and stuttering pretty much went away.
You can also install root apps, which can speed up your RAM, prolong battery life, and improve performance. My favorites are Greenify, SD Booster, and Autokiller.
http://www.phonearena.com/news/Got-ROOT-Here-are-the-root-Android-apps-you-must-try_id46065
De bloating does not double your battery life not even nearly double. Also 80% free RAM is no quicker than 20% free RAM. Sure, improvements can be had but let's keep things in the realm of reality here.
