[TUT]How to boost your battery life a great deal - HTC One X

3 days ago I flashed Android Revolution HD v33.1, the battery consumption of Android 4.2.2 really shocked me! What do you think if you turn on WiFi, watch the websites for just 15 minutes and it costs you nearly 20% battery?
Here I find some methods to fix the problem and boost battery life time a great deal!
What you need are
1. root your htc one x, and
2. an app called: root explorer
If you just use your htc one x for website watching, calling, messaging, and not for gaming, then my method will fit you well.
Now we start!
1. Most importantly, restrict the number of cores of your Nvidia Tegra 3 used.
Use your root explorer go to the folder: sys/kernel/debug/tegra_hotplug/, mount as r/w, find and long press the file: max_cpus, choose: Open in Text Editor.
There you can set the core number used by you CPU at most. Default value is 4, here you can set it to 1 or 2. The less, the longer battery life. I set it to 1 and experience no lags in device performance. Min_cpus is 0 by default mean it uses only the assistant 500MHz CPU core and no main 1.5GHz cores when sleeping.
2. Turn on power saver in settings/Power/. It will conserve CPU usage,reduce screen brightness, turn off vibration feedback, and put your device to sleep when screen is off.
3. Go to Settings/Developer options/Advanced/, turn off animation. and
4. set background process limit to at most 2 processes (or 1, 3, on your demand. The less, the longer battery life). Setting it to 2 guarantees that you can switch between 2 apps your use simultaneously, and have a chance for the app you switch to the background not be killed by background process started by android OS.
After the above all being done, you can enjoy your happy times with a very long battery life!
The attached picture shows the battery history. You can see that nearly 90 minutes websites watching with Wi-Fi on only cost you 20% battery. Is that amazing?
Attention: You should set CPU cores and background process limit again after reboot.

limit the cpu to only use 2 cores won't help that much and also can even take more battery juice then with 4 cores...but it's up to you if you want to use that...

I had on viper 4.0.7 with lyapotas kernel...but doesn't remember which it was around 6 hours onscreen with gaming and whatsapp etc...on WiFi as well as mobile network....but now I can't reach it anymore will try soon maximusHD again...using Noe sense 5 based miui with lyapota #23 LM and will see how it performs
Gesendet von meinem HTC One X mit Tapatalk

My best result is lonelyX ROM and lyapota #23 4:20h talk time, 2h screen ON and mobile data 44h with used browser a lot.

These are just once in a lifetime chance when you happen to stumble across miraculous results. Nowadays I can still get the same standby time for only 2.5hrs of screen on time

cm11 stock kernel ... regular use (sms / call / some mail check / some facebook check)
the trick ? easy ... only connect services (net / wifi / gps / bt) whey you need them .. i have always everything off

I prefer to leave my mobile data on whenever I go since I use whatsapp alot...
A bit off topic, has anyone give the CM11 M5 releases a go? If so, how is the battery life?

Hey Bobbi,
Those are some mighty statistics!!!!!
WOuld like to try this out.
Stock Rom = JB, Sense 5?
And then you've flashed the above mentioned kernel on it.
Could you please redirect me to the kernel download. Wasn't able to find it
Thanks

Battery drain after Installing Redpill Kernel 1.30

I flashed redpill kernel the daybefore and now I feel the battery drain issue has started.. I used my screen for less than 2 hours and 1.5 hours for voice call.. Wifi On all the time... NOW I SEE THAT ANDROID OS HAS TAKEN MOST OF THE BATTERY .. Please check the screenshots and advice me on the same ! My phone is up for almost 17hours now and has 47% battery left...
Then change kernel.
this is XXXDDDAAA
hey bro..i had the same issue with the latest Red Phill kernel ....i thought it was caused by random apps that i installed...so i did a fulll wipe ..with the super wipe script...and formatted and cleared everything on the phone..installed the stock rom 4.1.2 ....SAME BATTERY DRAIN...changed to omega ...same...changed to phoeniX ...same...
so i decided to change the kernel...i tried perseus kernel...and i just can tell you one word : " WOOOOW" !!!
battery is amaizing...get about 10 hours screen on time with internet and screen brightness to 25% .
BTW i undervolt the cpu frequence every step -100mV ....amazing...no lags...no freezes...the GPU same!! undervolt it to -100mV .
i'm over happy with My Note 2 using :
Miui v4 3.2.22 ( Latest v4 rom based on 4.1.1) soo smooth ..smooth like iOS or even more!!
Persues kernel alpha 34 latest!!
i get 20 hours deep sleep 0% battery drain ..( No wifi ...no internet....just 2g network) " btw why should i leave wifi or 3g network when i sleep??? "
try my combination...and you will be more than happy.
HIT THE THANKS BUTTON IF I HELPED YOU!!!!
Wifi definitely.
And don't forget to disable data as it works in background even after wifi is switched on.
this is XXXDDDAAA
thanks for the reply.. but I have a doubt.. you said you changed the freq steps by -100mV .. can you tell me where to find the setting ?? I am using perseus now with stock jellybean 4.1.2 Indian Rom...

Hey bro .. I just noticed that the charging time from 10% to 100 % is taking more than 5 hours on usb.. i checked the current widget and it shows 1700ma.. still taking so much time ?? any idea??
Oki the voltage setting you can see it in the stweaks app...the new one that came with your pwrseus kernel....at the first start...grant it root rights...then scroll down...and you will see for every cpu step ..you will have voltage values.so if you want i can upload a screen shot...that might be the most undervolt able values that are stable
Here are both cpu and gpu voltage values...the cpu speed 200-1600 stock...gpu the same..160-533
And i added a screen shot of the battery usage
I will upload screen shot friday..cuz im busy right now my friend
Btw about the alfa 34..i am truly sorry...i mean the 33 alpha version.

Forget tgat stupid widget...first of all did you increased tge speed of charging units in stweaks?
I dont think so..second...why would you charge over usb? I think your laptop or pc dont have this abilitiy .... dobt waste your time increasing the charge speed over usb...stay close to stock..it is the safest option.

Thanks mate ...
And I surely increased the charging current via USB to 1700mAh... You are saying it is useless ?? Then why did that option got into the kernel setting ???... the stock current that comes is around 450mAh via usb.. I did it coz I dont like to use the charger coz it does not have a socket where I can keep my phone for charging (cable too small ) and I know that the charger is rated 2A.... ie approx 1700mAh current comes through the outlet.... Am I wrong ??? The same thing I did by tweaking the settings via Stweaks ie to 1700mAh which is the max value supported by the kernel....
Please upload your screenshot.. it will be a great help
it works ..but your laptop usb port does not support it...but try it on a 3.0 port...or charge it on the wall. hehe!!!!
the option works 100%...but you have to have an electric source to support that output bro.

Screenshot from Monday AM. Please ignore the mobile network signal bar, every version of Cyanogenmod 10 I've used has the same problem where it stops logging data after about 10 - 15 hours, but my phone does pretty much always have at least 2 bars of signal where I live and work (split about 60/40 between 2G & 3G/HSDPA)
If it helps, here are the cpu states for the last 55 hours useage:

The best battery saving rom is CM9 with the older 2.6.35 kernel. So for example Arcos CM9 RC2 or RC3, the older Slimbeam ROM or this mentioned SmoothieICS. (The other two ones are just modified and themed CM9 RC2 or RC3) For even better results you need an undervolting 2.6.35 Kernel.
My battery for example lasts 3-5 days with CM9 RC2 and Arcos stock kernel. With my personal uv kernel it lasts even more.

Sure. Just drop me your e-mail via PM and I will compile one with stock voltages you then can adjust with incredicontrol to your needs. It´s because my kernel is preset to extreme undervolting voltages and that might be to much undervolting for your cpu.
Btw Arcos kernel has also deep sleep implemented and all custom kernels are basing on arcos kernel, so not only SmoothieICS is going into deepsleep but all custom roms are doing it as well.

your awake time to screen on ratio suggests to me that your battery life could be far better than it currently is! download WLD or wakelock detector and see what is keeping your phone awake so frequently =). Then u can get greenify to hibernate the app when u r not actually using it =D

Unfortunately the two main culprits are K9 email and ebay, both of which are pretty important for me to have running and not in a hibernated state.
However, from the last charge on my phone I have got 2 days, 4 hours, 29 mins with 12% battery remaining - so could be worse I suppose
Thanks for the suggestion though :good:

Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda premium
I confirm, wi-fi isn't working. Also, no synapse (and no support of it if installed from google store), no new governors, no zram in standard performance setting. And with this kernel there's only 721 MB of RAM instead of 722 MB RAM in stock! Where's my precious 1 MB of RAM? Is it gone forever? No way! I'll restore you from recovery, my dear, come to papa!
But it's booting and seems stable. A good work anyway, thanks bubor!

I dont know what with wifi, try to disable wifi from rom before updating.
My i927 has many issue, but wifi stable with this kernel
Factory reset, install cm-11-20140315-UNOFFICIAL-i927.zip, gk-1.2, and wifi work.

Ok, wi-fi works, camera works, OC to 1.2 Ghz works, I see new governors (testing Intellidemand at the moment, people say it should be less battery consuming than interactive), the only thing else I wish from kernel is a bit more RAM (819 MB in LiteKernel was great, but it caused camera to bug and wake lag, maybe there is a compromise?). Thanks to bubor once again!
Fast Charge support
Any chance you can add a patch to the kernel? This would add Fast Charge support.
This patch is for another device but it looks clean enough that it can be applied to ours without much work.
https://github.com/bruce2728/android_kernel_htc_pyramid/pull/1.patch
There was fast charge on LiteKernel, but it was removed for some reason. Maybe it was unstable.
Btw, I just restored an old backup of CM 10.1.3 (it's 4.2.2 ROM), flashed LiteKernel and... Asphalt 8 is working! Hey, I tried everything for couple of days to make it run on different ROMs, with different caches and apks, and the only thing that game needs is a bit more RAM? What a crap...
Is there also a chance of increasing RAM on grakernel? Sorry for my humble asking, I'm just a fan of Asphalt series, from the first game back on Symbian... I know you're doing dev work in leisure time and I'm Ukrainian with 130$ monthly salary, so can't even donate, but I very appreciate all your work here.

better use zram. Litekernel simply decreases reserved ram. Its very easy to implement to this kernel, but I think there is reason to reserve 280M memory.

But not for me. The only way I managed to launch Asphalt 8 is that 4.2.2 android with LiteKernel. When I flashed back "stock" kernel from kick buttowski, Asphalt said me: no more! I even tried to manually close every service and program and turned on zRAM yesterday. Still crashes on launch and even doesn't show me an error message.

@Makshow search Google like this asphalt 1.3.0l download the apk in first or second link.....its working for me.....by the way which rom are u using... It is working in both bobor's and mine...
sent from crdroid kitkat
Interactive governor works as it should, smooth and stable, there was no new issues, the kernel is solid when used from the box. The only thing is the need to change CPU max clock from 1320 (default) to 1000 Mhz (this should be default I think).
But I caught wi-fi bug again - I turned it off, used my phone for a some time, and after that it doesn't turn on until reboot. Still I can't find what causes this problem. May be it's somehow related to deep sleep, because I never encountered this when the phone is on charge (the phone never goes to deep sleep on charge).
And thank you bubor and grtsarav for your help! I managed to launch that Asphalt 8! Maybe I'm just unlucky, but I downloaded apk again (not the latest 13081 version, but previous 13051), downloaded cache for third time and it launched even without ramhack. It seems that latest version of Asphalt 8 on google store is simply broken on our device.

Interactive governor works as it should, smooth and stable, there was no new issues, the kernel is solid when used from the box. The only thing is the need to change CPU max clock from 1320 (default) to 1000 Mhz (this should be default I think).
But I caught wi-fi bug again - I turned it off, used my phone for a some time, and after that it doesn't turn on until reboot. Still I can't find what causes this problem. May be it's somehow related to deep sleep, because I never encountered this when the phone is on charge (the phone never goes to deep sleep on charge).

Best MinFree Settings for every day usage

So i heard that proper Min Free settings can make phones fly. So i wanted ask you guys the best suitable Min Free settings for everyday use. I mean, i use only 2 apps running in the Recent Task Manager so i don't think I'd set the min free such that its for multitasking. I play a few games though

Probably, I am a bit late. Use whatever values that's set in your Rom by default. Adjust only the Empty_app minfree to anything between 140 to 170. this will make your phone very responsive and fast!. Hope I helped you! (although I am very late).

@TiTAN-O-One use minfree manager! or if you can go for a paid one, then use Ram manager pro! select more free memory option in ram manager pro and wait for it to apply, then select custom settings, and adjust only empty_apps setting to 160. Allow it to apply settings, and check start on boot option!
BTW, are you rooted?

Sorry, if you are using CM11 then you don't need any additional software. Go to >About phone>Build Number> tap it 7 or 8 times. Then you will see a performance settings in your settings panel. From there go to memory settings and now adjust only empty_app settings to 160 and select start on boot option! Now reboot you phone. That's all! This will help you play games lagfree, and also allow to work with 3 to 4 apps at a time without killing them. It gives you more free memory to open any resource hungry app immediately! Hope this helps!

The only thing you need to do is back up all the thermal files if you ever want to go back to stock otherwise no just flash my mod
Sorry i meant thermal-engine-8974-default.conf

Yes I'm working on one now a few more tweaks then I want to test it for awhile before I release it
Has your phone given you that waring that its about to shut down because its running too hot? I've only seen it once after some extensive gaming. This mod doesn't remove that safety feature does it?

No I've never gotten that warning and it does not remove the safety feature I only changed the first three bump downs and left the last four bump downs stock so there is no risk involved with this mod
There was an early mod/tweak where users were/are turning ON Thermal Daemon Mitigation and HiTempProp. I have those enabled, does your mod override that, work in conjunction with it? Should they be set back to off? I flashed V2 and it seems to be fine but with those other mods Im not sure which one is taking precedence or if they are compatible.
Congrats on the XDA Bump!

Yes you definitely want to enable or disable how ever you want to look at it just leave as they were as stock thermal daemon mitigation and high temperature Properties as those completely turn off any throttling at all so you run a risk of burning up your phone if you are doing some heavy gaming
This doesn't seem to work at all. Using a cpu control app such as No Frills i can't set the cpu speed at the max 2.5 ghz when the temp reaches ~60°C. I also tried changing the thermal settings with 3c Toolbox, but no luck there either (i did remember to change the permissions). When you change the thermal settings in 3c Toolbox when do they become active? So back to my original question, why can't i set the cpu speed at 2.5 ghz or does that even matter?

The throttling is still the same. I have VS985 and that seems to he the source of all my problems. How would I get this to work on Verizon variant?

I made this mod on the Verizon variant so it should work fine backup your originals flash my mod and wipe the caches and reboot
The only bug is if you change the thermals in an app like 3c toolbox you have to go back into system/etc and change the permissions back to 0777 on thermald.config
What recovery are you using because the one im using can't mount the cache partition

It hasn't been tested with cyangen but I don't see any reason why it shouldn't, if you would like to test it out and let me know it would be greatly appreciated thanks Rob
