Has anyone noticed significant battery drain with Tweaksbox installed? My battery performance has dropped drastically, and disabling the Xposed module gives me my usual battery life.
Still a shame, and not able to post to the main development thread.
I've heard that it was Xposed itself that caused massive battery drain. I have both Xposed and G4 tweaksbox, but even before I had the G4 tweaksbox module my battery was horrible.
I have to admit, I run exposed with snapprefs (for saving those naughty Snapchats) and G4 Tweaksbox and I have fairly awful battery drain, noticeably more so than without Xposed.

Hello,
I posted this on reddit as well, but was hoping to get y'alls opinion as well. I've had my LGG3 since launch in the US (one week). Yesterday for some reason the battery just decided to not hold a charge. I get 3 hours in standby mode where before it was going much longer.
I have the T-Mobile, rooted with purple drake, running xposed with G3 Tweaks and Gravitybox. I bought the Quick Circle case so I could use the QI charger that I have for my nexus 5.
I'm not sure what could have caused the degredation of my battery life. Here is what my predicted battery life looks like after letting it fully discharge and then charge up to 100% (Attached a screenshot)
I installed a wakelock viewer and saw that the Carrier IQ was killing it, so I used titanium backup to freeze it. That still doesn't seem to help.
So do I have a bum battery? What would cause it to go bad after one week use?
Install better battery stats and post on that forum, someone will definitely help you out. I'm not that experienced but don't mind having a look.

I recently updated to v10j in my F460S and my battery life has been terrible. I use a wake lock detector and there's nothing abnormal waking my phone. I also use Greenify via Xposed to hibernate apps. My phone vote gets at best 2 hours of SOT compared to the 5+ I would normally get. If anyone has the tot and DLL or kdz for the F460S for v10j I'll do a re-flash but for now I'm not sure what to do. I also tried turning battery saver on all day but ironically that kills my battery faster. I have the tot and dll for v10i but u don't want to flash back to that unless there's no fix for this.

On D855, running v10J. Disabled all LG stuff and right now, with 4G enabled and sync on, i am on 38% after 32 hours with 100% brightness and 2 hours and 15 minutes screen on time.
My typical useage is a bit higher, but i love the battery! Great stuff with a 1440P screen!

Normally mine is around there as well. I am also rooted, debloated, running Xposed but that doesn't solve my problem. I might just do a full reflash when I get time if there isn't a way to fix this. I'm at 1h45min SOT and my battery is at 30% after 8 hours. The strange thing is there is nothing out of the ordinary in the battery stats or any wakelocks as I started earlier.
I have a rooted, TWRP flashed, ATT D850 LG G3. My battery life has been really awful lately as seen and has a steep downhill pattern. Cant provide screenshot due to being a new user but it goes down at about a rate of 25% an hour. Not really sure how I can fix this . I have wifi on, brightness at 50% and location/sync off. GSAM also says Kernel OS is using over 50% of my battery. I have previously flashed tweaks such as Sharpening Mod, Thermal Mod, Spiderio Interactive Battery (cant remove), and G3 Speed but almost positive I have fully removed them. Im not sure if there is a way to check if I did (tell me if there is).
I'm new to my Pixel 2 XL and have the 8.1 update and am seeing horrible battery life. Noticed others in here also experiencing this and wondered if any of you have some recommended settings for EX Kernel that can improve battery life? I only use the phone for notes, camera, calls, messages, etc... Daily use type of stuff. I don't play any games on my phone other than Hearthstone and it doesn't require much to be smooth and I watch some YouTube here and there but it also doesn't require much so anything I can do to get those 6 hour SoTs everyone raves about with this phone.
Standby is great, in use is just embarrassing.
Mine is opposite. It easy to get 6 or more hours SOT using the phone but the thing drops like 10% battery overnight even with battery and data saver on.

Well that's not good. I would much rather deal with on drain than stand-by.

A kernel will not stop a badly behaving app from drawing too much power, or not dozing when it is supposed to. You would be better served in using a battery drain app to find your wakelock/bad actors and deal with them. Beyond the information you can get from the improved Google battery applet, GSam and BBS are two apps that can help pinpoint the application or service causing excessive battery drain. It is not the kernel, and as flar2 states, the new chips are so efficient with power there is almost no room for improvement battery-wise. Most people leave it on the default settings, and use it for extra features and customization.

I agree 100%, I just thought some settings adjustments with the kernel could do some good and maybe someone might have some ideas on what would help the in-use battery consumption. I'm currently clean flashed with only Google APPs and Nova Launcher installed along with EX Kernel and Magisk no modules. Battery drain only shows android system... Not a lot to tell me what it really is. Will try the apps you suggest
When I got my Note 10+ 5G, all they had in stock was the Aura Glow which I wasn't very keen on, but they said to take it and try it out and then get it exchanged if I wanted later.
The battery life was amazing on it where I got around 10h sot. Since I've swapped it for a black one, the battery life has been absolutely terrible. Exact same setup, same apps and same version of Android. Most I get now is around 6h sot and the standby drain is very high without a specific app causing it.
Does anyone have any idea why this might be? Defective battery, something in the background causing the drain that I can't see, or perhaps different tolerances in the cpu or other components they use which just makes this particular phone heavier on battery drain?
I would love to find a solution for this as I know how good the battery can be.
