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

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.

Isn't everyone. There IS NO BEST! Everyone and their needs and uses of their Phone can vary from one extreme to the other so what one Person might consider as "good battery life" on one ROM another Person may not.
Thats my question 2..I'm ussing the stock 4.0.2.A.0.62..Hope to find and ICS rom where the battery life its the same..
Everything depend what you expect from phone.
I tried few different way to check the battery life and it's look like below.
If I have swith off Data trans., Auto sync, and use wi-fi only if I need, few phone calls and SMS then the battery life is amazing up to 65h. (it was tested on my holiday)
and on the same ICS 4.0.4 Kernel and ROM (I have use DooMLord kernel and jadar13254 Xperia Ice Bean 4.0.4 ROM) if I using normally the phone with full auto sync and data tarns. wi-fi turn on all the time then the battery life decreasing to 10h.
Like you see it's depend how you use your phone and what you want to do with it
Even the best ROM & Kernel does not improve battery life if you use it extensively.
You need to find a medium point i.e. see which ROM you like visually (then you can simply add or remove apps which you need or not, and then adjust itself to the kernel that will be best for this ROM.

You install a different custom ROM exactly the same way you installed your first custom ROM
- Make sure the ROM is compatible with your device
- Nandroid backup
- Remember to full wipe / factory reset within recovery if changing ROMs
- Install ROM.zip....
There are guides everywhere over the internet as to how to do this in case your forgot. Google is still your friend even if you are a teenager
There is no such thing as a battery saving ROM. Battery life is mostly dependent on your individual usage and how you use the device/
Whenever you have battery issues, it always makes sense to use logic first, to try and understand what is using your battery according to the laws of physics. Apps like betterbatterystats or wakelock detector will tell you if you have any bad apps keeping your phone awake.
If there are no suspsicous apps, it's likely that the battery is simply too old and worn if it's the original one (which would be ~4 years old by now). A new battery would be a better option. No amount of changing ROMs or kernels etc will make a difference.

Your home button generally needs to remain in place. Because you need to get home a lot
To turn on the screen, you can find a ROM with trackpad wake, I believe most have this built in, check each ROM thread first post, or search the thread
To turn off the screen, use a widget on the homescreen do the same thing
You can install whatsapp and candy crush on basically any rom...even stock ROM
Hi to all!!!
This theme was discussed a lot on this forum BUT, i have several questions that wasn't directly answered...
I don't have time to test it myself, because i am so busy. I can't spend time on restoring my apps and data if Lolipop sucks (i am heavy user and have lot of apps i use every day) so quick help and comparison from anyone will be helpfull.
1) I am on KitKat .157, and i am having amazing screen on time (after those Samsungs i had, this is great!). Lolipop is more battery hungry, so can anyone compare stock Kitkat with, for example, DstrikerZ1 rom (which was modified for extra battery life).
2) How many screen-on hours did you get with stock-based (or stock) 5.1.1 ROM (and can you post screenshot).
3) Is there any overeating problem with Lolipop, or some performance issues?
4) If i remember later, i will ask...
Thank you very much, in advance

Very happy to find that there're still many of developers out here for the beloved G3.
So are there any recommendations for battery saving kernels and roms?
it would be much obliged if any of your battery saving setup for G3 provided.
I ' ve always loved modding so i tried hundreads of kernel and rom theese years. Stock based, aosp. Lately was thinkhing to put to rest my g3 because battery life , was really really poor whetever i tryed.
But i changed my mind recently, using a stock odex rom made my phone great again.
If u have a d855 try the odex version of this https://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-g3/development/d855-clean-rom-1-0-t3629917
I use Greenify too
Thanks for your reply.How about the screen on time for a single full battery charge? Greenify is must I think. Enabling aggressive Doze and App-standby with GCM on would help
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.

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.
