Ok, so I got my new N5X 1,5 week ago. Before that I had the Z3 compact. After reading around on xda and reddit I decided to go with the purenexus + elementalx combination. Have been tweaking the kernel with EXKM with both bluejay, ghost pepper etc.
But the problems arise after >20hrs uptime. The lag and stutter gets really bad. Also the battery life starts to get eaten up (2-3hrs SOT with ghost pepper settings). I use messenger, Facebook, snapchat, chrome etc. I know these are memory demanding apps, buy I never experienced stuttering and such battery drain on my previous phone.
BTW, my idle drain is really good. Less than 3% during the night. I use amplify for wakelocks.
Don't know if I should try to change kernel or rom? Or just factory reset it to stock? Even though I love root..
Some suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
Try purenexus with the kernel it comes with. It performs great with good battery life
I personnaly loved root and everything, did try purenexus with elemental x and a few tweak profile too
Result : no better performance, no better battery life, random bugs and hot phone with lags from time to time at the end of the day
I'm back to stock not rooted and I got to say I don't miss anything and the phone flies.
This is my personal experience.
I also recommend purenexus with its built-in kernel and leave kernel related values as they are. You should decript your data partition to get most out your N5X. Encryption is putting a considerable strain on CPU and battery and does not offer much in return (debatable). With Pure Nexus I get outstanding performance, amazing battery life and rock solid stability. Using it since tuesday and not considering any other rom for now. Just decrypt your data partition.

What's the difference in battery life for you? I've never decrypted it, but I'm thinking about it.

With my usage i get about half an hour of SOT more. Im averaging around 6+ hours with 10% left. This is mainly on WI-FI.
Is there a simple way of finding out what prevents Doze from kicking in on an unrooted device, or is it trial and error without root?
I'm on leedroid R60. I'm pleased with the developer for such a great job. I'm looking for a kernel for having a great battery life and tweaking as well. I'd like to reduce the heat when using the phone . Sometimes gets really hot in MM instead of KK that was an ice brick.
Hi
I recently using ressurection remix 5.5.9 lollipop update with xcelerete kernel . I am very satisfied with its hardware performance but the battery backup is not so good.. In standby mode it long lasts about 3-4 days but when heavy using or playing games it decreases abnormally if I play games about 1 hour or 2 it decreases from 100 % to 20% or sometimes 10 %..
How to solve it plzz help me I don't want to go back to stock ROM the battery performance was good on stock ROM..so why not here?? Please help me.....
Thats what you get with custom rom/kernels. The battery life is uneven and is less stable than stock. Some custom kernels overclock the gpu/cpu, so battery life will be even worse. Stock is always the best for stability and battery life is reasonable after some fixing to disable built in adware and stock apps.
In any case the Redmi 1s is bad for any sort of gaming because of the relatively power hungry soc.
So now what to do should I go back to stock miui 9 ?? Because I want good battery backup..!!!
Hello everyone.
I am currently on RR 709 build. I play pubg a lot and it lags and phone heats up while playing pubg only otherwise its temperature is normal in other usage. Suggest me best AOSP kernel which can resolve heating issue as I play and charge at the same time. When it heats up, game starts to lag and phone does not charge.
Thanks
Note: on oneui i could play and charge at the same time with no issues
I've been using this phone for about 4-5 years now and it started off great, but as expected battery life has deteriorated drastically. Been rocking project X for a while now and although it looks really nice, I've been feeling like battery life is A LOT worse than stock rom's. Does anyone have a good rom to share? Doesn't have to be the latest version of android, for now I just want to pass the day without having to charge it like twice/thrice.
-ps I'm kinda broke to afford a new device, so I gotta squeeze as much as I can from this sucker
A new battery costs 10$ on Aliexpress.
I recommend Liquid Remix on android 9 with Extended kernel EAS oldcam. It is very fluid and battery friendly. In the morning I get the same battery level I've had at midnight before bed. In total I get 10-13 hours screen on time with a 90% battery health and no 3D gaming.
