Custom ROM for improving battery life and phone expérience. - Samsung Galaxy S9 Questions & Answers

Hello all !
I recently buy an samsung galaxy s9, I love it because of his size, today all manufacturers are racing for the biggest screen diagonal, but forget about the people who like compact phones.
the only thing I don't like is that the battery doesn't really last. I use some social networks like instagram or whatsapp to chat and the battery is not consistent enough for me, I think. (I uninstalled the bloatware app and made a maximum of optimization).
So I'm thinking about the solution of installing a custom rom. I'm doing some research and I like the pixel experience or the lineageOS.
The reason of my post is to ask you, you who know much better than me, is it really going to increase the duration of use?
Do you have any advice on this ? I read that you have to calibrate the battery after installing a rom but maybe you have other advice, a rom in particular, settings to do ?
For rooting i find this thread in this forum > https://www.thecustomdroid.com/samsung-galaxy-s9-plus-root/
but i got a SM-G960U1 that is not supported..
Thanks you a lot for all ur answer and information good to know XDA members !

I recommend to install a battery stats app, such as better Battery Stats (BBS), record an idle dump and then post it in the BBS thread (https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/app-2-2-05-oct-v2-4-betterbatterystats.1179809/).
There are experts analyzing your stats and giving advices how to optimize your battery life.
Unfortunately rooting and flashing custom recovery/roms is not possible on devices with locked bootloader ... Like yours. Do you must unlock the bootloader first ... If possible.

Some Doubts about the OneX

Hey there, I have a some questions 4 r I hope I get an answer for:
1-I'm a galaxy S1 user with no lock Bootloader, does it hard to lock and root than flash Rom's as Simmy phones?
2-what's the known problems of this device? Have the new update solve it out?
3-in my S1 ,in a normal day use , I got 23h of battery life (with sync,Bluetooth,...off) what's the result in the OneX ?
4-users said the battery life is massively increased ,by how mush you guess?
5-does the update solve the 23fps issue in video recorded?
6-do u think this device will keep getting updates as mush it can handle it ,or will be abounded due to the company passing through a financial problem,especially when it abound the desire HD ,while it can handle the ICS ,my S1 can
7-I would like to see what have the new update add +pic's.
Thx, sorry for writing in such a miss ,by the way ,how's my English ,I'm really interested in what u think

You can find answers to all your questions by searching this forum. Most of the topics (i.e: how to root, battery life etc.. have their own dedicated threads). But I will give you few simple answers to start you off.
It involves several steps, but they are very easy to follow. Keep in mind : Unlocking the boot loader would most probably void your warranty, and there is NO way to revert it back to the original state without any traces ! (You might be able to root without unlocking the boot loader in the future, but its not possible yet. For more info read up on S-OFF)
There is a known wifi antenna issue with older models, a screen flickering problem (to which there is already a software fix), and multi-tasking issues in HTC’s ROM. Some have also reported overheating under heavy 3D gaming
I too had a S1 previously; in my experience battery life is about the same (perhaps slightly less in One X, but not much). I can comfortably get through the day (16+hrs) which is enough for me.
Massively increased compared to what?
Didn’t check, don’t record videos much
S1 never got an official ICS update from Samsung, if you consider custom ROMs (i.e CM ROMs) then One X has plenty of support in that department. So even if HTC fails to keep up with the updates the community will (however you may not get all the benefits of the phone with 3rd party ROMs, for example camera features or quality)
It didn’t add much visual changes, except the ability to remove a special menu bar that appeared with some older apps, and a quick settings option in the notification area. Again search for more info.
I think the ota and better benchmark of hox put Sammy nervous. I read the full Forum and never see such a movement and problemas, and questions. Htc is doing well so.
My friend, the Forum is full of thread about general info, roms, kernels, mods.
So dont be lazy and read. I spend 3 hours a day reading and learning so you can do the same.
Cheers

[Q] Best rom for daly use

Hey i have just bought my note 2 (n7100)
and i want to know what is the best rom for daily use . I play a lot of big game like N.O.V.A 3 or dead trigger . I listen music a lot to and a good battery life will be very good .
Thanks in advance .

I'm new to all this myself, but from what I have been able to learn most ROMs will give battery life and performance improvement. As far as gaming specific ROMs, I am not even sure it will make a difference...
People use lots of different ROMs for daily use - usually they will post in the ROM thread saying something like "this is now my daily..." You could try the search term "my daily" and see what pops up?
But if you just want to make sure you're getting best battery life and don't necessarily want the extra features of a ROM, you could always just check that there's nothing putting unnecessary drain on it. Check out these links for tips on optimising your battery:

You can use those battery tips even if you're running a ROM, so I'd say it's worth looking at those first... hope that helps!

ROM's are too subjective to what each individual person likes so you cannot say one ROM is better than the rest. What you think is the best ROM might be someone else's worst ROM.

[Q] Longest Battery Life rom

I have been flashing roms on my phones since my very first android phone. Just going to get a dirt-cheap refurbished Xperia S, and I am planning to use this phone when I am in army for my conscription. (Yes, I know it's sad. )
So I heard that the standard Xperia S rom do not have the best battery life for a smartphone, so I would need my Xperia S to do the following:
1. I will be shutting off my phone during my training. Will only be using it at about night time (about an hour or 2 at the most.). But I may forget to turn it off. So I hope to have a good standby time.
2. Hopefully by switching on and off, I can last for about 2 weeks in a single charge (sounds like a hard task for a smartphone.)
3. I don't mind under-clocking and under-volting the phone to further stretch my battery life. But it still must be stable and generally smooth (gaming performance can be compromised.)
4. Obviously, with my cellular radio, WiFi, and all other stuff intact (don't mind if my camera is dropped to 720p though.)
So tl;dr, I need a good Xperia S rom/kernel that is able to last through my grueling schedule. Hope that I can obtain some useful advices. Thanks a lot. :laugh:
As per XDA rule, do not ask questions about which ROM is best or Best ROM for Battery life. Otherwise MODs will close such threads without any further delay.
And As ApriliaM3 mentioned also -
Read rather than post, that's my tip... There's no such thing as a best or smoothest ROM. Check the responses here but also check the OP of the different ROMs, decide on 2 or 3 and try them for yourself. It's certainly not something that you need to create a new thread to accomplish.

I am not asking for the best. I just need some roms that are targeted to have a better battery life than stock rom. Because there are so many roms, that I have no idea which one have battery life as their main objective.

Is this phone worth buying?

Hello everyone, I am planning to buy this phone, is it still worth buying after 1 year of its launch? I did some research and found very bad reviews about this phone everywhere, many guys claimed that there are bugs in the os and can be solved using a custom rom, is it usable with a custom rom? hows the battery life on a custom rom? I want a good screen on time since my usage is heavy, not into gaming, just calls, whatsapp and streaming...
other choice is redmi 4 3gb ram version mainly because of its 4100mAh battery, please guide me.
Thanks

?,if you plan to use custom rom,it is not a bad choice.
i mean flashing other roms can solve most bugs.
but ......because you have no high request(no gaming),device performance is wasted.and the screen is not good,enen some bad.
others are ok
So the bugs are only software related? Or are there any related to hardware too? How's the battery life on custom ROMs? Currently using Moto G3 and most of the custom ROMs provide less screen on time.
No it is not worth to buy it - please don't buy it.

The main reason is because we have more than enough people in this forum who cannot use the search function or simply look in some threads.
Second reason is because it looks like you are searching only for the "very bad" reviews about this phone. If you don't want to buy it, don't do it.
Third reason is because it looks like your thinking that only the zui firmware got some simple bugs. The other companys with their phones don't (Lol).
Please don't ask again for battery life on roms, there are so many reports of this kind of question. Go in the rom threads and search for it.
And sure your other choice would had a better battery life than the zuk. Bigger battery and sd 625 is more energy efficent but less performance in games..

Best battery life rom / mod / apks for Oneplus 3T?

Hi guys!
Thought the topic may serve someone when googled someday so I thought about "diverging" from standard Q&A noob thread.
Basically I recently switched from 3T but thought it'll be nice to have it as an additional "standby" device (think of it as spam-device). I'll replace battery (3 years of service is pretty long) and then I am thinking what ROMs / MODs or APPS would be best to prioritize battery life. I was initially thinking about obvious: installing fresh rom then there's Franco Kernel (which I can underclock in it's dedicated app), keeping screen low, disabling GPS and other services that drain battery etc.
But maybe there's something better? I remember for galaxy s6 there was this "extra simple" mode that made phone last days but could be disabled if needed, maybe there's something that you can recommend?
Have an awesome one!

Some A11 roms are bringing extreme battery saver. That should help a lot (the rom that im using now has it - octavios).
