Battery saving setup??(kernels/ROMs) - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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

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.

Coachella G3 Setup

Hey Guys,
I am going to coachella (camping) this year and want to maximize my battery life to last as long as possible. I will still have an external battery pack for charging but still want to know if you guys have any tips or tricks to maximize battery life.
Right now I am thinking of flashing a custom rom with a minimal Gapps package. Seems like an ideal setup would be a clean rom without any apps besides phone, text, and hangouts for my group messaging needs. Any suggestions on the best rom, kernel, governors, etc that would work best? Any tips would be greatly appreciated! (last year I used no wallpaper for my amoled note 2)
Currently using blisspop on my d850 with the kernel it comes with.

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...
Try and see... It's up to you and your phone, as it may differ from mine... :fingers-crossed:

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!

Thanks all
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.

What do you want tell, please explain here as i have turned off sync and other services and used greenify and other apps but no gain
amplify and powernap also help with battery drain. its all in the OP. if already are using these three then please diregard this post & maybe someone more knowledgeable will chyme in.

@mrrocketdog thanks for helping me out but it didn't solved my issue. Battery drains heavily only on Lollipop & Marshmallow ROMs but quite stable on KitKat (Using Dalvik) & Stock ROM (4.3). Is this due to ART? I read that ART is more stable in terms of battery performance. But if I take it aside, if I not consider "ART" the main issue so what's the issue? There is a bug of "Mobile Radio Active" in Lollipop ROMs but on PAC-Man, This bug is not existing. I have turned of Sync, GPS, Profiles & Without GAPPS & My Apps. My S3 Drains Battery On Usage & Battery Option Gives Me No Information, No Major Cause Of This Battery Drain
i am all out of ideas unless maybe kernel related (?). but thats.really beyond me , so again ; hopefully someone.else will chyme in.

best battery saving\performance config for marshmallow

Hello there, currently i'm using the resurrection remix + nitrogenex kernel, but if i use the phone a bit more often, or playing a game, battery discharge very very quickly.
Have you a similar config, kernel setting suggestions to obtain performance\battery saving like the latest kitkat official rom for our g?
Thanks for your replies
I dont think there is good kerner for marshmallow roms for battery. I have same problem to battery drain to fast for all marshmallow roms.
i am happy with battery life on omnirom!
