Hello All,
Does anybody know of any software that will automatically configure your settings to save battery life?
Specifically, I'm looking for a program that has various "profiles" - low power usage, high performance, etc., that I can easily switch between based on what I'm doing with the HD or how much power I have left.
Does anyone know of any such programs?

Is there anyway to enable/disable GPU rendering only on a certain apps?
A lot of apps benefit from enabling this feature. For example, scrolling is significantly smoother in the facebook app with force GPU rendering enabled. But at the same time, many apps that I use won't launch with it enable (e.g. Tiny Tower, which I play all the time...)
Rather than having to go into settings and switch it on/off between apps, is it possible to have a app or be a feature of a custom rom to specific which app to launch with force GPU rendering?
from my understanding this is not possible.
one could write some scripts to add this functionality and use them in a custom rom, but not sure if its an easy task.
There's much to be said on the internet about screen lag. I realize the most effective combative actions that affect this negative behavior require a combination of settings. Since most of us have wildly various tweaks, settings and requirements for our phones, posing a "how do I get rid of screen lag" question borders on the ridiculous. That said, what has the greatest positive effect on screen lag for your system? Oh, and details on you're settings of course
1. CPU tweaks
2. SysCtl tweaks
3. Build prop tweaks
4. OOM tweaks
5. Minimizing widgets (giving up lol)

Rom Modules - Tweaks to your rom. Works for both stock and modded roms.
If there's undervolt module for your rom, use it.

Extras
Use less UI-replace apps like CallerID, WidgetLocker, GO Locker etc.
Background and Running Apps
Use task killer ONLY for apps/games u wont use for the next few hours.
Dont leave task killer in the notification bar, kill it together.

(!) Watch what you kill
[APP] Titanium Backup's Freezing function (PAID VERSION)

Google Search (affects Market)
Google Talk
FOTAkill
Pico TTS (Speech to text wont work)
TTS Service (Speech to text wont work)

(!) Don't freeze apps like Sync, Settings, Package Installer, Messaging and some obviously important apps.
[APP] Autostarts
-Managing apps running automatically in most situations.
-e.g: during startup, after startup, widgets updating...
CyanogenMod Settings (Only available in Cyanogenmod Settings)
-Render Effect - N1 Calibrated
-Overscroll Effect - Disable
(CM Settings > Interface)

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

Lol I wasn't talking about Max... if u keep it just like that it goes even longer... I was talking about average usage and average usage according to me is
1- 24/7 online on fb
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.
[Q] Force GPU rendering on 2D operations (on some ROMS) & live wallpaper drain change
Greetings, Could not post this in its relevant thread as I'm a new member.
After trying Criskelo ROM v17 I have noticed that the drain of live wallpaper which was nonexistent under the battery in settings, is now visible at a quite high percentage ( not visible to 4-5%).
I'm wondering if this could be due to the "Force GPU rendering on 2D operations" property of the ROM.
If forced gpu rendering could be the cause for the additional drain from live wallpapers, I'll search for a way to make it not forced, I guess

Did check that but its turned off (maybe it's turned on in some other way). What could be so different in a stock based ROM as to change live wallpaper battery drain behaviour so much?

I don't really know but I do have a slightly better battery life when I have Force GPU Rendering on.
