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

Thank you for your answer,
i read something about that app and i'm not so confident in spending more
if i really have to spend more money i'd like to use them on apps more famous like greenify and amplify but still i don't know if it's really worth it cause of lollipop 5.1.1 and also about using stock rom or custom roms

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.

"Democracy and voting are best in TV"
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?
Thank you

I'm using OPG Pro and Greenify pro...
I started with both "free versions" and then I decided, as they did together excellent job, to buy them...

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!

I'll try something this week and i'll update with new stats!

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.

In your opinion, what are some of the best root applications for the OP3?

Just got this phone, rooted it with Magisk and installed Paranoid OS. Any good root apps to improve my experience? Or any tips & tricks for Paranoid OS?

I always install adaway and iYTBP module, the last allows background YouTube playback.

To be honest if you need a list like this then you most likely dont need root at all. Nothing personal but not everyone needs root nor should everyone have it. Not with the security concerns that come along with root.

The only reason I wanted to root was for better battery life, so I just wanted Magisk so I could get Greenify. I wanted to install XPOSED to get Adaway, but I found out that XPOSED breaks SafetyNet and there is no way to fix it currently, since XPOSED modifies system.

Root will not help battery life. Greenify is useless now as android puts the device right into doze the min the screen goes off. You dont need xposed to get adaway. You can use the standard apk for it. I use magisk but dont use a single modual at all as there really isnt one that is worth it to me. Xposed will always effect safety net. If you need to pass safety net then you are just better off staying stock.

Doze was very basic back on 6.x To be honest I personally remove it from activating on my device. If I want a device to stop getting notifications then I will close it out. I hear it works great for those that use it, I just dont so I remove it all together.

On a side note, are there anyways besides Doze to improve battery life? Do other ROMs besides Paranoid offer better battery life, or is it just marginally better? I am a fairly light user, Reddit, E-Mail, SMS, Calls, etc.

Roms make very little difference when it comes to battery. Most battery drain comes from apps like facebook and their apps, or other badly coded apps. Then there is also signal strength that effects things alot. I have one spot in my house that has weak signal and if I leave it there the battery will be dead in a few hours. I cant say anything as far as PA goes. I havce avoided using their roms for years due to the bugs they add to the device.

The only reason I use PA is because of the dark theme that I can apply easily. With Lineage 15.0 or 14.1, could I do the same? Or would I have to install something for it? Also, yeah in my room I am getting fairly bad signal. What ROM do you use out of curiosity?

I dont use LOS either. Due to the issues that have been there for years without any real fixes. They had a chance to fix them when CM went under but it was too much work for them.
I only use roms based on AOSP. Roms like Slim roms and my main rom is Dirty unicorns (not on XDA)
If you have bad signal then there is nothing you can do that will help battery life.

My favorite root app these days is Battery Charge Limit, next to AdAway.

If I may ask, why do you use Dirty Unicorns? What made you chose it over the others? Just personal preference?

I have many reasons. Ill name a few. It is built off of AOSP unlike others that use CM/Los as a base. So less issues. Smartbar is one of the biggest options I use it for. The devs are a big part of it. Most know what they are doing and are open to helping as long as you show you put in your own work first before coming to them. They also dont asdd features just to add them because people want them.

Giving my Z2 to Mom, How to make it fool proof? Suggest ROM and Apps Details inside

The requirements are simple – everything should just work fine. Requirements include games like Subway Surfers and such, browsing the web, YouTube and working camera. For me I am getting a Mi A1 or Redmi Note 5 Pro (I don’t like MIUI though but for the price I can compromise and it seems the best choice, there are no other options at that price, please suggest if you have other device in mind. Also in future I can Install ROMs on Note 5 Pro also, so yeah).
Below are my few ideas:
Stock ZUI EN 2.0.133 ST because it is more stable than Nougat variant. With ZUI I am planning on installing the Material Notification Shade app to fix the disappearing notifications icons issue but in my testing I found it to be using almost 50% of the battery, therefore I am scrapping ZUI idea. Also ZUI feels a bit cluttered too. If the notification shade app can be made to consume less battery then I will go with it though. I know ZUI with Oreo is around the corner but it's ZUI after all.
I am currently using AEX 5.2. It is quite stable but has good overnight battery drain, like ~15% sometimes. Yesterday I slept at 3 am with 82% and woke up with 68% battery at 10 am. Also there is the camera problem. I have been using the Modded GCAM and it is GREAT! Only problem is the videos, unusable slow motion and normal videos come dark and they are unusable as well. BUT for videos I use OnePlus’ camera app and it is good but I can’t see mom using camera without getting confused So I am ready to forgo the camera2api magic and install a non-frills camera.
So for Camera please suggest an all-rounder workable camera application that I can install in the system or as priv-app and also any suggestion for the battery drain.
I am looking at some other ROMs as well. I want to test some ROMs that just work. I have been hearing about ViperOS and H2OS for some time that they are great. I just need a ROM that will work, no bells and whistles needed. So please Suggest some ROMs.
If you have any other suggestion then please let me know.

I did use 4.6 way back and here is what i found if i recall:
In notification shade when you swipe the notification it stutters.
I don't remember about the heating issue though.
It was stuttery in general now that i remember, i had to flash Heliox Kernel for the heating issue and there was no improvement in the performance.
4.4 was quite good if i remember it correctly.
Anyways thanks i think i might revisit this ROM

I have to say, just ask your mum about her preferences of what she likes to use out of the phone.
And install barebone AOSP-ish rom with adblock/popup block/youtube ad-block on it. Then get her apps installed and she'll be happy. No complexities whatsoever.
Our elders aren't picky as us , my mum is using an LG G3 and its been on fulmics rom from day one, and it works perfect for her because all she does is follow up daily news, youtube, browse some internet, watch some episodes and thats it.
Also a 5.5" or 6" screen is ideal for our elders because of good visiblity of text etc.

For stuttering issue, use HelioX kernel. You'll get the best performance+battery efficiency out of AEX 4.6.
If you want good camera, flash this camera oss.zip from here and use Pixel Camera mod by Arnova. Then you're good to go.

I'm using the rom as it is, with its own kernel (it's heliox btw). The rest is up to you, I'm using gapps pico, magisk just to have root and remove ads with adaway and gcam mod

just use viper os 3.1.1 with heliox 10/15 ..

Nitrogen OS Would be the Best! But there isn't any solution to Dark Videos as yet. Still you can use Proshot or Footej Camera for the Job.

Lag on any ROM

Hello, I've been experiencing lots of lag with both OxygenOS (and OOS ROMs) and custom ROMS.
I honestly don't know what's causing it, this is what I have installed that could ruin my performance:
So I made a list of all the apps I have installed, so you could help me figure out what's causing it.
Here's the list.

Don't use xposed or pirated apps.

I usually buy everything I have and I use Lucky Patcher only for apps with intrusive nonremovable ads
And I'm pretty sure Xposed is not the problem as I'm not tweaking Android's UI in any way.

Try without greenify.
Use background restrictor from XDA labs instead.
I would also remove xposed. Xposed causes a lot of errors. This device does not lagg. On OOS with stock kernel. U cannot make it lag unless ur making it lag. Like messing around with the kernel etc. Custom ROMs are even smoother with flash kernel

Uninstalled greenify and installed backgroundrestrictor, I got a nice performance boost.
But I really need Xposed for XInsta so I'm gonna keep it unless I find an alternative.
Or can I just disable Lucky Patcher within Xposed and just keep the normal version, will it impact the system performance-wise?

If u can. Remove lucky patcher or at least from xposed.
If u need ad blocker. Use ad away. 0 performance impact.

I stopped using Lucky Patcher 2 years ago, when the official Xposed was released for every phone. Lucky Patcher itself contains many mods and tweaks, may conflict with user apps and system apps so Im sure it's no go for me.

I played around with the toggles (keep legit licenses, etc.) and found a happy spot, that's why I kept it.

I have this issue too. Doesnt matter what rom I try, I've tried 90% of them. Even on a clean flash, with just a few google apps, like on G+ it laggs like heck scrolling through the posts. Some roms are slightly better than others, also when trying custom kernels, if I install kernel auditor and just make 1 change, doesnt matter what, its like input boost gets enabled for all cpu's and they all jump to 1800mhz when i touch the screen. only way to get it to stop is to change the governor to conservative. It just seems like this phone is laggy by nature. lol that sounded funny.

Weak Battery Life after installing 3rd party roms

I tried and installed AOSP, EU, Abhix and many port roms. In the end my battery life has fallen by half. My Redmi Note 5 Pro gives me only 4 hours of screen time. I have turned back to Stock MIUI 11.0.3 Global but no chance, still weak battery life. Is there any solution to this ?

Any idea ?

Unfortunately i haven"t updated my phone for almost 2 years and i"m currently using a AOSP rom, so i can"t check the firmware version im using :/
And how long have you been testing the roms ? Phone needs some time to settle down and optimise battery life

And how long have you been testing the roms ? Phone needs some time to settle down and optimise battery life

3 months I guess. How is AOSP rom ? How much screen time does it give ?

Three months for how many roms exacly ? Mebay too little time per rom has passed.
Have you performed a clean installs (wiping data) or dirty flashed rom over a rom ?
Im currently using ancient build of ArrowOS 11. The only things that i found not to work are WI-FI display and 1/8x slow-motion mode in Gcam (I don"t thing this one is ROM related).
Today i"ve scored most of the SOT using Total Commander (tidying up tons of old files) and scored 5h 35min of SOT.

The application called Naptime-battery saver (requires root) solved the problem to some extend. Now It does not drain the battery that much. I recommend it. But I need a real solution.

So the problem was in standby drain ?
From brief examination of google play decription - naptime forces doze mode to kick in faster. So there had to be and app/service running in the backgroud which was preventing the phone from entering doze mode.
You should try to find out which app was responsible for this.
Mebay google play services/playstore update ? I think google play icon has been changed today, so there must have been an update.
Naptime can be used without root as well, however some permissions using ADB have to be granted to make it work

It's beyond standby drain. It has only solved standby drain. When I wake up the screen, battery drain goes on. It's not about playstore, the problem has started since I installed custom rom. The mistery is why It cannot save the day although I reinstall the stock rom ? Ridiculous.

Pixelexperience is the solution. Battery life is much better than any other custom rom.
