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!

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.
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.

Ah I forgot about Doze. First device that has it. (Or at least now it works) My old LG V10 was 6.0.1, but for some reason Doze never worked.

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.
Hi Z2 plus users.
After lot of analysis and research, I finally ordered Lenovo Z2 plus today. Got a great deal.
8k INR / approx 125 USD
I have the option of getting Redmi Note 4 as well at approx 150 USD / 10k
I have gone through lot of videos on youtube with different custom rom reviews of Z2 plus, pros, cons etc.
My main concerns are:
- Battery Life
- Heating issue
- Overall usability without digging into custom rom installations and updates very frequently. I will install custom rom but would like to use it as daily driver for few months at least before I look for new updates etc. (Time is the issue - Don't get much of it these days to do all the research and experiments )
With custom roms like AICP, Jaguar - how is the battery life in terms of SOT?
How is the heating issue with custom roms which this phone is infamous for?
I saw a review from Indian tech reviewer on youtube suggesting Jaguar R14 is very stable and good rom for this. But I see some complains and users posting different issues in Jaguar rom thread.
Kindly suggest, if it will be good to go for this phone now (after 1.5 yrs of it's launch)?
Can I expect to use it as daily driver without any significant issues for next 2-3 years with custom roms?
At present which custom rom will you suggest with regards to Battery life and heating issue resolution?
some inputs here will he really helpful

I do not have the device yet and that is my dilemma whether to accept it or return it.
Does these roms also have overheating issues?
How is the battery life on these?
CitrusCAF 3.5 by miju12 seems very stable(dont flash custom kernel unless you know what you are doing) and have favourable review from the users.
and Lenovo z2 is better choice anyway
looks okay
Got mine today as well. Same deal as the OP (around $120). First thing done was an upgrade to Nougat. Sept 2016 manufacturing and there was still 30% charge left . Device did heat up during upgrade as it was on charge. Haven't observed any major heating since. I have upgraded (or downgraded) from a oneplus 2 so my criteria of heating may be somewhat biased. A 5 inch display does seem smallish though.
Geekbench 4 was 1720, 3999 which is par for SD820. So no throttling etc.
Just wondering what is so broken about stock ROM ? What's not going well with everyone on ZUI ? I did tweak the DPI to my liking - other than that ROM feels pretty much stockish android. I mean I have heard so much hate about stock ROM for this device?
Edited - Ok I am starting to see oddities. 1. Double notifications (any fixes?)
And the usual follow up questions -
- Does the U touch specialization / gestures (swiping etc) work on the custom roms for this device ? Edited - Yes I guess.
- Would unlocking bootloader reset the device ? If yes, might as well do it before setting up apps etc. Edited - Yes it would like any other device.

I have been using Rooted ZUI (I believe that’s what the stock rom is called) for a few weeks now (Xposed now, but that’s been just a few days). At first I thought I would keep it stock rooted and get all the things I need with Xposed, but the Notification drawer and Lock screen is getting on my nerves. All notifications are ICS Style, i.e. they are not expandable and they have no quick action (except USB connection to PC which lets u choose cam/file mode). Lock screen has this weird image in the middle which just sits there doing nothing. Notifications doesn't get displayed in lockscreen (weirdly I am getting 1 calendar notification there, but nothing else). I tried enabling lockscreen notification for a lot of apps, but it seems to just allow calendar and nothing else.
The U-touch is awesome BTW, but wont let me start Google Assistant voice through it (I like being able to set alarms through it)

crDroid [AlexKarimov]
PROs:
1 - Fast: Very responsive and loads quick. Example: stock used to delay when using google maps at all the wrong times. This ROM is lightning quick and I never miss a turn or exit.
2 - Stable: I've had only one or two random reboots but it's very rare.
3 - Customization: There is a high level of customization in this ROM. A LOT of options. At this point, I can't even tell you what I'm missing.
Bonus: Stock launcher is very nice. I usually upgrade to Nova for one reason or another but this has almost all the same features as Nova.
CONs:
1 - Data speed: I hesitate to put this here because I'm not sure if it's my ROM or incorrect APN settings(I don't remember stock so I've had to experiment). I've played around with different APNs and found one that works really good but data speed still seems a little slower than stock but only on Play Store for some reason.

General Impression: I love this ROM! It has just about everything I want(minus a few tweaks that are in AEX) but any drawbacks I've found are very minimal compared with the benefits.
Thank you for this comparison. I've recently purchased a second xz1c and just loaded AEX on it, so I'll give some impressions in a few weeks on that.

Thanks for review! Together we can bring up neat comparision of xz1 FW's!
Stock fw
pro:
Good battery life and has ultra stamina mode. Also Sony stock apps and audio tuning if you are into that kind of stuff. With combining firmware bits you can get volte and fingerprint working in US T-mobile.
con:
September 2019 is the last security patch, since then multiple vulnerabilities have been found including bluetooth "Bluefrag" vulnerability.
Lineage OS 17
Overall very clean and snappy rom. It's currently my daily driver.
Pro:
-Android 10.0 and everything that comes with it:
Built in gesture navigation
Re-worked permission management
New launcher/recents menu
-average battery life
-stock camera
-passes safetynet check
-trebuchet launcher with app lock functionality
-very stable, so far I have had no random reboots or anything of the sort.
Con:(not a lot)
-does not have picture preview after picture was taken on back camera in stock cam
-stock cam cannot save to sd card
Thanks for sharing your findings! Would you recommend LOS 16 or 17 over stock fw? How stable is it and how's the battery life? I have stock oreo and don't want to update due to the complaints. I've experienced some lag and restarts lately but I wonder if the long process of unlocking bl and flashing custom fw is worth it.

Using LOS 16.0 for 2 weeks with 47.2.A.11.228 stock firmware. Working perfectly and no problems with any app (no GAPPS installed and only using openSource apks such as: Signal, Telegram, K-9, QKSMS, OsmAnd, etc...)
Battery life, better than with stock Android 8.0 ( i never used Android 9 from Sony, just when i updated firmware to reboot and install LineageOS )
Since i'm working from home, is true that my XZ1C uses wifi all the time, but anyways, 3 days of battery is awesome

I've been using Lineage OS 17 by modpunk for the last three weeks and it's been very reliable. I have nano Gapps installed and get about 7% of battery used per hour with the screen on, and about 0.4% of battery drained per hour in stand by mode as reported by Franco Kernel Manager. Battery life for me is a bit worse than stock as there is no fine control over battery modes such as with stamina mode. I can get two days battery life with about 5 hours of screen on time, though I limit my charging to between 85%-15% which makes it a bit shorter.
I like the android 10 gestures as it frees up more space on the screen and I also like the new permission management for location. And I can't live without adaway which requires root.
I personally am happy with unlocking the boot loader and there is no significant difference besides when initially turning on the phone it shows a boot loader unblocked message. And the newer security patches are worth it in my opinion.
There is a easy to follow PDF guide that can explains all of the steps in the thread about DRM Key backups. https://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-xz1-compact/development/devonly-exploits-temp-root-to-backup-t3795510
I'll link it here if I find it.
But I wouldn't recommend it if you are planning on selling your phone in the near future.
Edit:
Found the PDF https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78255334&postcount=382
Make sure to read all instructions thoroughly and donate to developers if possible.
Hope this all helped.
I tried and installed AOSP, EU, Abhix and many port roms. In the end my battery life has fallen by half. My Redmi Note 5 Pro gives me only 4 hours of screen time. I have turned back to Stock MIUI 11.0.3 Global but no chance, still weak battery life. Is there any solution to this ?
Any idea ?

Unfortunately i haven"t updated my phone for almost 2 years and i"m currently using a AOSP rom, so i can"t check the firmware version im using :/
And how long have you been testing the roms ? Phone needs some time to settle down and optimise battery life

3 months I guess. How is AOSP rom ? How much screen time does it give ?
Three months for how many roms exacly ? Mebay too little time per rom has passed.
Have you performed a clean installs (wiping data) or dirty flashed rom over a rom ?
Im currently using ancient build of ArrowOS 11. The only things that i found not to work are WI-FI display and 1/8x slow-motion mode in Gcam (I don"t thing this one is ROM related).
Today i"ve scored most of the SOT using Total Commander (tidying up tons of old files) and scored 5h 35min of SOT.

The application called Naptime-battery saver (requires root) solved the problem to some extend. Now It does not drain the battery that much. I recommend it. But I need a real solution.
So the problem was in standby drain ?
From brief examination of google play decription - naptime forces doze mode to kick in faster. So there had to be and app/service running in the backgroud which was preventing the phone from entering doze mode.
You should try to find out which app was responsible for this.
Mebay google play services/playstore update ? I think google play icon has been changed today, so there must have been an update.
Naptime can be used without root as well, however some permissions using ADB have to be granted to make it work

It's beyond standby drain. It has only solved standby drain. When I wake up the screen, battery drain goes on. It's not about playstore, the problem has started since I installed custom rom. The mistery is why It cannot save the day although I reinstall the stock rom ? Ridiculous.
Pixelexperience is the solution. Battery life is much better than any other custom rom.
