How to improve s3 battery life after root?

Hi I was told that after you root your phone the battery will improve tremendously but u must do it manually. Any tips, or tricks I should do to improve my battery life and not ruin the phone?

Download Greenify from the Google Play Store.

Rooting won't change anything as far as battery useage, and Greenify is a good simple option. Another is to go through your settings... set display brighness to auto - the screen is the biggest battery killer. Look for other options you don't use and uncheck them. Look at your battery stats and see what is using the most power. If it's an app running in the background, you may be able to kill the task depending on the app.

Remove all stock system apps that you do not use

Battery app

There are many batter app that claims to be able to extend the battery life. Which one do you recommend? Has anybody tried "2 Battery" by Sam Lu. The developer claims that it could extend the battery life by at much as 1.7 times.

It depends on your own usage.
For instance, Greenify is a good once. It has a shortcut to force-stop all apps you add to its list. Which, for people who don't manually do so, can double battery life. If you're a bit OCD like me and do it manually already, it will matter very little.
Also, disabling as much bloatware as possible also helps tremendously.

I have to agree... greenify is great.. dont forget that not only does it stop it.. it prevents it (for the most part and most apps) from loading up again until you manually open it... that is the other benefit.. so stops those apps from causing wakelocks and draining your battery even more.. so by far one of my most recommended apps to have

DU Battery Saver in combination with Deep Sleep Battery Saver.
Buy full versions, set up Smart saver settings requiring root access.
Can't be beat.
Greenify too.

CM12 ROM eats battery

Hey guys
I recently installed CM12 (official version) but i noticed that it eats up alot of battery alot quicker than my stock ROM
i installed better battery stats and started recording stuff but idk how to read the information it provides
can someone help me?
Thanks

You could also try a cpu app such as no frills cpu to set the min and max frequencies.

I don't want to mess with clocks till I have expended all my other options. Do you guys know how to use the information betterbattery stats record?

Set BBS to show stats since Unplugged.
Charge your device so that it is fully charged just before going to bed.
Unplug and let it set idle overnight. This will let you know about background processes consuming battery, as opposed to you actually using the phone and consuming battery.
First thing in the morning open BBS. Click the share icon at the top left of the screen. Select the Text Dumpfile option and then Save. You could then take screenshots of the BBS pages; especially Partial Wakelocks, Other, and Alarms.
There are active threads with participants who are very familiar with interpreting the BBS results obtained.

You could also try dkp kernel. Search the forums here. I've heard you can get better battery life with it on cm12.

What drains battery ?

Is there any good apps that can show you which component/app that drains your battery. Don´t think that the inbuilt in android works that well as you only see system and not the actual componenet.

Battery Stats App

Hey everyone,
I have been having some problems with my battery life being not as great as what it used to be. I know in the past, BetterBatteryStats and GSAM were the go-to apps to use to find what could be using up battery life, but the problem is both of these require the app to be installed under the system.
Anyone know of another app that gives battery stats and works under systemless root in 7.1, or a way to get either of those to work? Thanks!

Anyone?
