Lol don't take so much tension of turning on and off things
Just see my signature to actually increase battery life along with performance ... I get an easy 3day battery and goes through 1½ days on a holiday and about 7-8 hours on continuous 2g browsing and 5-6 hours on 3g browsing ... this is wayy beyond of wat the device was said to by Samsung ... and all this with good performance ... see my sign

2- xda
3- any content browsing except videos and songs
4- occational games (2or4 fruit ninja arcade first example)
5. 24/7 wats app
6. Messaging
7. And some messing around with Android stuff on free time
8. Ebooks
This is wat i meant when I said 2 days
Internet is always on ...
I'm happy that u liked my guide

Someone who has the same taste as mine. Id like the stock rom retained plus a custom kernel to save my battery.
2-3 days max would be already enough for me since I dont really play games that much.
Youre a kabayan? Why u not showing up at the filipino thread for SGY?
Thanks bro. Imma try hells fusion.

Battery Accelerated Drainage
Hi,
I have S2 Plus running android 4.2.2. It has a very nice battery life when used for calls and sms.
My problem is that I experience a massive battery drainage even after turning off the WiFi.
It seems that something keeps on and never shuts down.
Does anyone have experience with the cause/resolution for this?
I appreciate your help.
Murad.
Which of these three minfree settings will kill the background apps more quickly and offer better performance and lesser multitasking ability??? I can't seem to understand.
Hi Guys!!!
Please help me editing performance profiles..
Everytime i edit the
1. Power save
2. Balanced
3. Performance
profiles through performance setting above the developer options it gets reset to default. My settings dont save.
Presently im on CM11 RC20...
and i have read about the touch boost(the min and max frequency are same)
so everytime i set max and min value. The min value changes and goes equal to max value.
Can i change this behaviour. Because due to this the frequency getting stick to only max(which i set) and its not going down.
Please help me in editing(min and max values plus governor) these profiles to my choice and save them for permanent.
Thank you in advance.
Just tick the option of 'Set on Boot' and reboot.
Thank you for your reply...
I want to change all the profiles to my choice.
Like i want the below.
1. Balanced profile - from 300mhz to 998mhz governor- ondemand
2. Power Save profile - from 300mhz to 600mhz governor - powersave
3. Performance profile - from 300mhz to 1497mhz governor - ondemand
By setting on boot it is going to default. I want to manual edit them.
First thing some of you might want to do is change the content scaling. Go to settings > display > content scaling. It sizes a bunch of things down so that they aren't so big. With this much screen space it's nice to be able to use it. Another thing that I did was to enable developers options to turn off the animations. Go to settings > about phone > click multiple times on build number and it will enable developer options. Go back > developer options > scroll down to the category drawing and turn all 3 animation scales to off. Hope everyone is enjoying their Note 7 so far.

Thats the first thing I did also but the icons are still so HUGE. I think the only way to fix it is to use nova but I think I will lose some features.
I use Nova Launcher and have for a long time. On my rooted Note 2 i cranked the dpi down in the build.prop. The icons aren't too bad with small scaling.
