[ROOT]Quick performance and battery life guide.

This is going to be brief for now and I'll update with links later, plus extra tips that can help a lot. Here goes.
I've been modding/tweaking android phones for around a year and had a few devices, plus done other peoples devices
You'll want to make a full backup in cwm before anything.
ALWAYS THOROUGHLY READ THE INSTRUCTIONS, GUIDES AND F.A.Q'S BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANYTHING. DO IT TWICE. IT NEVER HURTS TO EDUCATE YOURSELF BUT IT WILL HURT IF YOU BREAK YOUR DEVICE AND I WILL "LAUGH OUT LOUD" BECAUSE I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE AND YOU HAVE BE ADVISED.
Best performance mod is cross breeder, it's a tad out dated now but still the most stable and battery friendly. Also blocks ads.

A must have root app is greenify, it hibernates apps at your will or when the screen is off without freezing them etc. Basically it prevents apps and games from chewing your battery and keeps your ram nice and free. Don't use other ram apps with this.

DS battery saver works well and actually keeps processes dead while your phone is asleep, keeping your phone in deep sleep. I don't always use this unless I get random battery drains during sleep.

Viper4android (find in xda) is the best android sound mod but still in the works. Its immense and installs drivers that make your audio crispy clear, whilst giving plenty of extra sound features. It can be a ***** to get it working properly though.

Last but not least, Nova launcher is the best and fastest launcher with overall best features.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1389071
I'm gonna update my profile on xda with all the links and from my experience and research these are the overall must haves.
Also if you haven't done already, unlock developer options by going to settings/about, scroll down to build number and keep clicking it until it says you are now a developer. This will unlock tons of developer options such as debugging and onscreen performance stats. Be careful with these and I recommend setting limit background processes to 4 on each boot, and animation scales to 0.5.
Also please note that developers of these mods and apps worked hard and deserve credit where due. Not me, I'm just an eccentric-android-person-thing. These are my opinions and should not be taken as a clear certainty, but moreover: "my favorite android ****".

thanks for sharing this with us.
I've tested the Viper4android App/Mod and it sounds really good with my Earpods
"CrossBreeder" is something I used with my SGS3 and was very happy with. Will try to install it now on my s4 mini.
"Greenify" is a very good App, that I am using for quite a long time now.
Never used "DS battery saver", but as you said you only use it when getting random drains, so I think this isn't necessary for me.
finally I don't think there is a big difference between nova and apex launcher, so I will stick to apex

[Q] Stick to KitKat or move to Lollipop

Hey guys! Got a G3 D855 here, rooted with IOroot and bumped (TWRP installed), Build number: KVT49L / Software version: V10h
Thinking to flash a custom ROM, but I'm so used to Xposed Framework (G3 TweakBox mainly), that I don't know if I'm ready yet to go to a Custom ROM Lollipop... I was thinking either to stay in stable Custom ROM Kitkat, like CM11 and having the Xposed and every feature that I'm used to, or move to a ASOP lollipop ROM or CM12.
What you guys think? Anyone very used to Xposed, moved to Lollipop? Which features are you missing the most?
Or you think, I should do the step towards lollipop and can get the features I was getting from Tweakbox from apps with root acess in the playstore?
Thanks!

Just like you, I was sceptical about switching to Lollipop since I'd lose Xposed. However, after flashing Lollipop I have not regretted it at all; I fell in love with it right away.
The only thing I'm actually missing is G3 Tweaksbox, but I can manage without it for now
Regarding module alternatives, have a look at this outstanding article:

Great help Megaritis! Will flash Lollipop today! Any custom ROM recommendation?

The real problem is autonomy, hard to reach 4h screen on

What do you mean? The battery life is bad on Lollipop compared to KitKat or on Lollipop custom ROM?

Battery is good on both.
Try Lollipop. If you dont like it you can always go back.

Trying to decide now either CM 12 or an ASOP ROM, I heard that are some things that ASOP's just can't fix, like receiving MMS while connected to wi-fi... I head something like this and I wonder which else common problems, have the ASOP's have.. Any1 knows?
Thanks!

I installed Lollipop as soon as I got the OTA. 2 days later I am very displeased. I expected some inconvenience but it is a lot worse than I expected.
1st - The autonomy is really affected. I can't give any number because my kitkat + SETCPU profiles were tweaked a lot and provided me a big autonomy, way higher than stock kitkat.
2nd- The atrocious new sound profiles that got me late at work and that many people are complaining about. Do not disturb is nothing like the quiet mode we all loved.
I'll try and draw a tree showing how it works
so you got 3 sounds profiles you can cycle through from the notification quickaccess.
--Sound
--Vibrate Only
--Do Not Disturb (which is supposed to replace the quiet mode but failing hard)
In DnD :
//Calls and Notifications
----All
----Priority Only (see below)
----None
//Piority ("Allow certain features to interrupt when Priority Only. Alarms always have priority) That makes you think you just have to set DnD as Priority only and remove everything from priority so only the alarms would ring out.......
That sounds lovely except every single time you get out of DnD it resets the Calls And Notifications setting to all and when you'll reenable DnD it will go to None and shuts down everything.
So, in order to have the same behavior as the quiet mode in kitkat you have to do the following :
Notification bar > Settings > Sound > Do Not Disturb > Calls and Notifications > Priority Only.
This EVERY SINGLE night as you'll remove DnD every morning of course.
Not to mention that the alarm will ring but not wake screen so you got unlock your lockscreen and then turn off your alarm.
I think I should whine though, this mess preventing me from sleeping I have no use for alarms anymore, like Lollipop devs I guess.
It is a mess at the moment so don't bother, the issues exceeds by far the benefits.

The best thing to do would be : Do a nandroid back up of your existing KK ROM then flash AOSP>CM12 and see which one you like. Everybody have their own priorities and you be the judge of your own likes/dislikes. I have tried both AOSP and CM 12 but returned to stable KK V10N. I have a small kid and I have to have a nice camera app and I was not convinced with the AOSP/CM 12 camera apps. Stock Camera app has to do with the OEM framework and can't be replicated in AOSP/CM 12 ROMs. Secondly (it may sound shallow), I could not stand the big navigation bar. You can use tweaks to make it smaller but the navigation bar buttons does not change in proportionate to the size of navigation bar. SImply put, they look ugly. I personally did not find any speed d or battery life difference. Giving up Xposed and aforementioned features were not worth the trade off for ME. Again, this is what I experienced, your experience may be totally different than mine and that's all right

Looking for ROM Recommendations based on my use profile.

Hey All!
So my Nexus 4 took a big spill the other day that put it out of commission and i had to go to T-Mobile to get another phone. Last month i looked into the phones that were on the market (because my friend lost hers and i was helping her pick out a phone) and the choices we came down to were Nexus 6, Galaxy S5, and LG G3. Well She ended up finding her old phone but from that research i knew which one i wanted to get. I really like the nexus series but 6 inches is a deal-breaker for me, my biggest complaint about this LG G3 is that its too big...
In any case, i have had the phone for about one day but i can't stand the LG ROM on it. It feels slow (even with 3GB of RAM in this thing!) and I really don't like all the bloat ware the Tmobile put on my phone.
I like the stock android experience and want to find one that comes pretty close to it (although extra features are always a plus). Here is what I prioritize in my phone (starting with highest priority and going down:
-Stable, First and foremost i cannot stand a crash, i hate hate hate it. I need the ROM to work just as well (if not better) than the stock android ROMs on the nexus line
-Working Hardware, i take a bunch of pictures and am constantly using mobile data (4G LTE) so i need all these to work well
-Battery Life, I play games a lot on my phone during the day when waiting around for the bus or whatever, i like to have my battery last as long as possible so i don't need to break out a portable charger.
-Responsive, i don't need to have a ton of crazy amazing features, but i do want it to be responsive, nothing peeves me more than having input lag when texting someone.
-Customizability, i really do enjoy the fact that i can change the home buttons on that appear on the bottom of the screen on the LG G3 ROM, its a nice touch to be able to tap a button to get your notifications to pull down (especially on such a large phone), so customizability of small features like that go along way with me, small things like being able to see the day next to time i really love.
-Lastly i like to have my phone flat on my desk a lot and with the button on the back the best way to turn it on is the double tap, so if possible (but not necessary) i would like to retain that feature.
Some ROMs i have been looking at and read reviews but cant really decide which to try are Cyanogen Mod 12, Illusion, and PurpleDrake.
Based on my user profile (what is most important to me) which ROMs (can be one of the ones i listed or whatever one you think works best) would you recommend.
Also is flashing a custom kernel very popular on the LG G3? I know it was on the nexus 4 but is it also beneficial on this device?
Last, is there a good instruction on xda for rooting and unlocking the bootloader (and possibly flashing a custom recovery) for the LG G3 D851 (The specific one i have)?

Your best bet is to get a stock-based ROM then install Xposed + some modules to customize it to your liking. A really good stock ROM is CloudyG3. It will give you all the stock features like IR remote, good camera app, double tap to wake, WiFi calling etc. I recommend getting a 3rd party launcher that allows you to set gestures. I use Nova Launcher and have "swipe down" open up the notification drawer. CM12 and other AOSP-based ROMs are probably smoother and faster but they will be more prone to crashing and lack stock features (though double tap to wake is in all).

Thanks so much for your input! What is xposed? Is is an app that you install after flashing the ROM or is it something like GAPPS which your flash during installation of your ROM? Where can i find more information on what Xposed is and how it provides features?
Why do you say that my best bet is a stock-based ROM over an AOSP one?

Basically, Xposed is a framework that allows you to install/remove codes (modules) on-the-fly. Easy to install. More info here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/xposed-faq-issues-t2735540
Stock-based over AOSP because of your preferences lol. They're generally more stable and let you take advantage of ALL of the G3's hardware.

Do you know any specific problems that AOSP have with the G3 hardware over the Stock? I am really looking to get rid of bloatware and increase responsiveness and battery life. I just get this weird feeling like the stock ROM is slooooooow.
Also does the Xposed framework load down the phone at all? I feel with each module i install it would get progressively slower with all the stuff running in the background. Doesnt seem very lightweight after having the cloudyG3 installed i should have a ton of features (since its stock and not AOSP). seems like it would lag down it even more.
I'm just looking for a stable ROM with a decent set of features (i don't need anything too crazy) that is responsive (i feel with 3GB of RAM i shouldnt have to deal with lag anymore) and has a decent battery life (3000mAh is a lot, even with the large screen). What can you guys recommend based on that simply details?

Advices for battery life

Hi everyone,
I would like to ask some advices for the z1 compact battery life.
I actually have a stock rom with not a bad battery life but, you know, i'd like to have more if i can.
So i red some threads and i installed some apps for battery life.
I actually have installed hibernation manager and rooter booster.
The first one is an application that is activated when the screen is locked, the other, since it doesn't say this, is always activated i guess. (at least, it's what i thought, and i still don't exactly know)
So my question is this...
For a nice battery life:
1. shall i first stay on stock rom or custom rom?
2. which and HOW MANY apps should i use? (i also red about greenify and amplify but since i have the 5.1.1 version of lollipop and i red that amplify and greenify doesn't know all the wakelocks and services.. I mean i red that you should try yourself for all of those services to block since they don't have an explanation for that and so i took these other 2 apps)
The stock rom that i actually have i downloaded it from this forum and doesn't have full gapps i think which is good for me, i don't really need them but what i mean is that it's not the original rom.
Thank you for your attention

You don't need to buy pro version... Basic version is free and it gives you AI mode. Just install it and give it a try. Then, if you'll see improvement, you will decide...
Greenify is also free for basic work.

Oh, nice.
But shall i use only that app or i can use more ?
I mean more apps might go in conflict in my opinion so i don't know if i shall use my apps in pro version as well.
Also i'd like to know if OPG app is active while screen is active (so when i'm using the phone) and / or when the screen is disabled (again because of my app that works only when the screen if off.)
I have activated stamina mode and energy saving from sony and i know they're helpful but do they "fight" with other apps that are supposed to save some battery?
Thank you

Your concern is correct.
IMAO there should not be more than one main manager, otherwise they will fight with each other.

What do you exactly mean?
I should use just stamina mode, stamina mode and just a battery saver app like let's say amplify, or just amplify? Is that what you meant? :S

Some few tips for best battery life. There are better t threads you can find more information from, so:
- Use direct AC charge instead of USB whenever possible
- Always make sure your network (2G/3G/4G) wherever you are is strong. Weak signal will kill your battery very fast. Biggest battery drain imo on top of using mobile data on lollipop.
- Switch network to 2G when on wifi
- Toggle GPS, Data, WiFi off if not in use (I use Tasker to automate this mostly)
- Greenify + amplify
- get a custom kernel and tweak device parameters for optimum battery savings. A good deep sleep should give you less drain when screen is off.
So basically it's more to do with managing your device as well as usage.
Am on z1c stock 5.1.1 with advanced kernel v16.

I was thinking about using a custom rom like mx rom v8 or dstriker rom which are both indicated for battery life ( i also read that people are pretty happy with their battery life with both roms) and using one of this rom i thought i could use at least amplify ( maybe greenify too but not so sure) and stamina mode and energy saver both from sony. Would that be good or there are too many battery saver apps?

Both those roms have been rated to be more battery friendly. I have not used any of them as I prefer stock. However, you can't go wrong with both amplify & greenify. Greenify is just simply a must for any rooted Android user.
You can also use BBS app to check wakelocks & alarms that drain your battery. That way you'll know exactly what is eating your battery!

Hey guys,
i read again some threads and i came out with these conclusions..
1. Maybe the BEST battery life (at least based on comments is the munjeni's kk .108 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...-108latest-t2862578/post55138305#post55138305) but i don't like kk that much... i was hoping on lp
2. I saw also the DstrikerZ1 Kai ROM SP001 -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/son...velopment/rom-dstrikerz1-kai-rom-4-5-t2980761 which should be good for battery life and i thought i could use stamina mode and amplify as well but i don't which kernel should i use for this rom (help me out please )
Since i like lollipop more than kitkat shall i try dstriker rom with a custom kernel (don't know which one though, don't have any idea) and i'd like to ask if someone notice a much difference beetwen these 2 roms.
Thank you all!

KK is a big winner in battery life against Lollipop
you can try munjeni s 108 build to compare with any lollipop with any kernel and see for yourself.
i love the looks of lollipop but i always come back in kit kat,have no choice because of battery life and i don t think i miss performance or any important feature from lollipop
BTW i m on kit slim evo 9,great rom also regarding battery life.

Does Xposed slow down the phone is it the combination of certain modules?

Does Xposed slow down the phone or is it the combination of certain modules?
I've been using a T-Mobile H811 since launch and so does my girlfriend. The biggest difference between our two phones is that I've rooted mine as soon as I was able to and also installed Xposed Frameworks along with a few modules. For the most part, I've been pretty happy with the performance of my phone and have been able to shrug off the occasional performance stutter.
Recently, I was playing around with my girlfriend's phone and I noticed that it was a lot smoother than mine. I put our phones side by side and it was plain as day that her phone was a lot smoother when just swiping through panels in the settings menu. After that, I couldn't unsee how slow my phone actually was. Because of this, I concluded that it must be something Xposed related as that's the main difference between our two phones.
So that brings me to my big question: is it the presence of Xposed being installed that may have an adverse affect on a phone performance or is it having certain modules installed that affect the performance? Or maybe, just maybe, it was even the combination of apps that I keep installed that were at fault?
If you have any insight or opinions to share, I'd love to hear it. If you've been forever on Xposed like I have, maybe you don't notice the performance being any better or worse since that's just what you're used to seeing, but if you've use it on and off, maybe you'll have better insight into it?
I recently did a factory reset and opted not to install Xposed. For the couple of days, I think it's safe to say that my phone is running a lot better, but there are definitely a few modules that I miss. Most notably G4 TweaksBox and also Restore Notifications Ticker, though I'm also very fond of Flat Style Colored Bars (but if modules impact performance, I can see how this one might be the culprit.
Thanks!

My guess is that the number of modules and what modules you have would affect performance. In my opinion i think the modules that theme parts of the phone use the most memory. I used to have xposed and the tiny lag never really bothered me at but xposed just isnt for me. Maybe a list of modules you use would make the question a little but easier to answer.

It was explained by rovo89, that if you use modules, which are not updated to the latest xposed, the phone will lag, because of xposed using up the resources and your logcat will be also filled with errors. I think he wrote about this on his GutHub or the XDA thread. That said, I am using only 5 correct modules and the phone is fast as on stock.

theming modules like stana or fsb or others causing lag imo....but others which have single usage arent so power hungry...im not sure about gravitybox style modules...

The modules that I used where Restore Notifications Ticker, Flat Style Color Bars, G4 TweaksBox, SNAPPREFS, Spotify Skip, Pandora Patcher, Swap Volume Keys, and then enabled the Greenify Xposed options. Other than FSCB and the tweaks box, most aren’t changing much, but those are also my two favorite modules and probably do the most heavy lifting. And, like I said, the lag never really bothered me (since it’s what I was used to), but then I used my girlfriend’s phone without Xposed and immediately noticed the difference.

It was explained by rovo89, that if you use modules, which are not updated to the latest xposed, the phone will lag, because of xposed using up the resources and your logcat will be also filled with errors. I think he wrote about this on his GutHub or the XDA thread. That said, I am using only 5 correct modules and the phone is fast as on stock.

Which modules are you using? And how could I read the log to see which, if any, modules are the ones causing issue?

theming modules like stana or fsb or others causing lag imo....but others which have single usage arent so power hungry...im not sure about gravitybox style modules...

I kind of figured that FSCB might be doing resource intensive since it themes on demand based on the app. I really wish the tinted bars were a part of the stock experience… it looks so good.

So you’d all agree that it’s safe to say just having Xposed installed is fine and should prevent no problems and that I should just test the modules individually or together and see how things perform?
Giving up Xposed completely isn’t so bad, but there are a few things I’ll really miss, especially the notifications ticker and being able to hold the recent key to open the last app. I kind of want to ween myself off it, though, knowing that it may not always be an option in the future.

Flat Style Color Bars works better and is more customizable.

My lg g4 bootlooped recently so I sent it in and got another. I also got a Samsung S7. I have not rooted the new G4, but I have rooted and installed XPosed on the S7.
First thing that's immediately noticeable is how fast the stock LG G4 is. The LG G4 slaughters the rooted Xposed S7 in both performance and battery life. The G4 when it was rooted + Xposed was very laggy. This has prompted me to begin looking into the possibility that Xposed kills performance.
I'm only using 3 modules. MinMinGuard, Snapprefs, and YouTube AdAway. I think the issue is with the Xposed framework itself.
