[Guide] Tips on saving battery + smooth + faster ROM

Announcement
If you have any suggestions/settings which you are using to improve overall rom performance/battery saving technique then do share them in a comment. I will have a look on those and if I found them useful then will include in the OP and give you the credits as well.
Here are few condition before you post..
1. You should not copy it from anywhere
2. If you are copying then provide the details from where you are copying those
So, lets come together and make this the best thread ever so can be used on any rom.

After being on custom roms around 2 years and flashing of roms more than hundreds of time I am sharing my experience on saving battery / smoothness / faster rom so if you dont agree or have any issue give me a PM and if I like your suggestion then will include in the OP with proper credits.
These are not all founded by me I have got the base from Jarmezrocks (A big thanks to him).
Recommended applications:
* Autostarts - this application is a paid app and worth it's weight in gold
* Juice defender - this app is one of the best on the market (I dont use it but have heard that its good by user so it is included)
* Titanium backup - (I would suugest to buy the pro version for the batch opperation and few more options)
Which roms I use?
1. Remic-JB
2. X-Bean
3. Mackay Rom
Which kernels? anyone of semaphore/devil/mackay i keep moving in between them.
Steps for flashing a a new rom / update of the rom you are using:
1. take full backup using TB by selecting 'backup all user app + system data
2. Reboot phone in recovery
3. wipe user data / factory reset
4. wipe cache partition
5. wipe dalvik cache
6. format system under mounts and storage
7. flash the rom and gapps (if dev has ask to flash gapps seprately)
8. reboot and loged in use your login credentials
9. let the phone settle down for around 10-15 mins
10. Load titanium and go to menu -> batch -> restore -> Restore all apps with data -> Run
11. Inside this sub menu click on 'deselect all'
12. Check the toggle 'data only' (this is the restore for system apps that you use and have stored settings or info i.e. Mms and settings and what ever)*note these apps will be marked with green text in the list or maybe red....try not to restore data for apps marked with red text unless you are absolutely certain that your settings are necessary. (*try not to restore your user accounts this way, sign into your Google account is best practice*to backup contacts and sms/mms use TB)
13. click the top button 'Run the batch operation'
14. Once completed return to the same menu again -> batch -> restore -> Restore user apps with data -> Run
15. Inside this sub menu click on 'deselect all'
16. Check the toggle 'App+Data' (you should do this for user apps only; try to restore data for only those apps for whome you need the data back like games, dont do for facebook, and such apps if you can avoid).
17. click the top button 'Run the batch operation'
18. Reboot into recovery and then delete dalvik and wipe caches and reset permissions
This way will gives you a fresh rom always to use with no traces of issue from previous.
Warning:- I use the above steps and will help you to my extent if you falls in any issue however I am not responsible if you burn/broken your device.
Modems
Choosing the correct modem.bin file to flash that is relevant to your device, your service provider and your region can have a huge impact on performance. And even if it doesn't you can make it have a huge impact on performance!
A great choice of modem could enable any user to reduce their wifi.supplicant_scan_interval from one value to an even lower rate. NOTE: The larger the number the better! (you can get all the modems from here).
The longer the period of time between subsequent wifi scans the less amount of battery you are going to use..
Note also that adjusting this value could improve or worsen your wifi signal and maintained strength and connection. Do so wisely.
Likewise that if you have great battery consumption yet you have faulty connection (if any?) then this can be remedied by either adjusting the scan rate (scan interval) to combat the issue. Compensating too much in either direction (for connectivity or for battery performance) may flag a need to change modems to something more suitable? View here for detailed example
....still incomplete and lots more to come...wait....

Apps you can use to save battery
Here I am going to provide few names of those apps which can help you increase your battery life.​
Autostarts -
This app will help you to disable few apps which auto start on any event. e.g. why Facebook messenger needs to run when I receive any sms and it is getting start and using our battery so disabling this and others will surely save battery.
WARNING:- The only way you could end up in a bootloop is because you disabled a needed system app. Now I didn't know a lot about Android when I first started using that app, but it doesn't take a brain surgeon to work it out....like what to disable and what not to disable. Read carefully into all System services, what they are used for and how they interact with the rest of the system BEFORE you just disable them.

will keep one more for me

Is there any way to install all apps from titanium backup without having to press install for each apps seperately.. i mean some kind of batch process which will asks for only once..

NVM

no warez on xda....I would advice you to change you comment
thats nice....if you want batch processing in TB then go and buy it.

i wouldnt recommend using the autostarts app, i just installed it and killed some apps and now i got stuck in a boot loop and couldnt get onto recovery, had to go back to stock and work my way back to JB through GB ICS then JB :\

Backup with TB or in Recovery ?

in recovery you take whole roms backup which can useto revert to old state if required however I have never taken that....and TB for all apps and their data.
also if you taken backup in recovery then you cant use that to restore the apps on new rom

I tried all of these ROMs and also CM10 has a good battery life, isn't it?

These apps work. Autostarts ALWAYS works for saving the most for battery. Take a look at how often google gets us to fire up Google Maps. For rediculous things like sending an SMS? What for?
Thats all wasted resources on an SGS1 (especially)
The only way you could end up in a bootloop is because you disabled a needed system app. Now I didn't know a lot about Android when I first started using that app, but it doesn't take a brain surgeon to work it out....like what to disable and what not to disable. I am not saying you're stupid, or anything...I am just heeding warning that pressing the wrong button could be disastrous if you are not paying attention. Read carefully into all System services, what they are used for and how they interact with the rest of the system BEFORE you just disable them.

Should we post screen shots for the man erpurohit?
We are dealing with "smart" phones here, they are like little computers....and we are packing in a whole heap of functionality into these little things so of course they are going to use a heap more juice when we are making use of this functionality; and more so if you are using a LOT of the functionality.
Here is a screen from my old SGS1 http://sdrv.ms/SfN2rV (notice connectivity isn't on the whole time. I was letting the applications Juice defender control when my phone could connect.
I used apps like NoBars. (Free from the market) so when my phone had no signal it would not sit there searching and searching trying to connect. NoBars lets the phone check for connection at a given set period of time after having no connection for a specified time...say your out in the wilderness or remote areas with patchy signal or none...then your phone will last longer.
Lastly I cannot recommend it enough....V6 supercharger scripting by Recognised Developer zeppelinrox. This has by far improved my device running with battery. Why? Cause instead of running my phone O/C'd and on demand or performance "type" governors etc....I do the oppisite. I run the most conservative clocking and undervolting as I possibly can without strangling my device to death; THEN I let the V6supercharger scripting bring the performance of the device up to normal specs (as if the phone was stock standard - maybe leaning a bit more towards the snappier side of that scale I might add ). Sure, my phone won't get crazy benchmarks or scores, but it can last a whole day without needing a charger LOL. I mean these ARE actually phones first and foremost and I am not sure about you guys but I need to be contactable sometimes (people with ORD are an exception).
V6supercharger scripts ARE however a little bit tedious and involved to set up but they ARE worthwhile. It will change your device from a slug to a bullet
To get a good understanding of Governors and I/O schedulers check out the thread (appropriately named) by recognized contributor Simba501. Bare in mind the information in that thread is slightly dated now, and there have been some more governors and additions since then, so if you are unsure...do some research.
Make sure you have all of these settings backed up. Hence why Titanium is worth its weight in Gold. Big thanks to keramidas for that app hotlink to latest apk here (free)

i don't have wifi.supplicant_scan_interval in build.prop..i use remics-jb

stop data connection if thereas no need might help saving battery

Advanced Wi-Fi:
disable network notification
Keep Wi-Fi on -> Always
Disable Maps latitude - Log off

I found these setting for juice defender and i tested them 1 week and all seems preety good so i thinked to post them here
Under ABOUT tab -
---------------------------------------------------------
:Backup/Restore:Remember this feature is available and based on user preference. When you see a noticeable difference in battery life. Save your settings!
:Screen: (Enable) Enable after unlock is one of the most crucial settings on this app. What this does is reconnects your phone with a network after waking up. Also this is a default setting.
:Use APN method: (Skip, recommended) this setting is determined by your phones ability to establish a connection under mobile data control. I would suggest skipping this until you see what effects your phone goes through by default.
Under STATUS tab -
---------------------------------------------------------
{Controls} Data, Wifi (Preferred, Auto disable), Autosync (Ping)
{Schedules} Schedule 30 min. Night (time frame based on user)
{Triggers} Battery 5%, Screen, Traffic 10kb/15s, 15s min
{Location} WiFi (your wifi and all other wifi locations your phone trains to remember) * Will explain later.
rofile: Each preset could result differences in overall performance. For this setup we want to use ADVANCED. Note that even the CUSTOM preset does not give you as much tweak possibilities as ADVANCED.
:Notifications: (User preference) Not much battery consumption other more memory usage if set to Graphical, overall no difference. The notifications appear under your phones status bar.
:Activity Log: based on user preference, overall no difference. Its a good tool for viewing all phones battery activity in detail.
Under CONTROLS tab -
---------------------------------------------------------
:Mobile Data: (Enable) This setting is pretty obvious. Note this setting will be affecting most importantly with the DATA Toggle widget which comes with Juice Defender * Will explain later.
:Tablet Mode: (Skip, recommended) (1)(2)
:WiFi: (Enable) This setting is pretty obvious, but also based on (User preference). Like the Mobile Data setting above this also is connected to your phones setting. Note this setting is most important and effective with your stock Power Control widget.
ptions: (WiFi preferred) Both sub-options work alike but for most effectiveness with Juice Defender choose WiFi pref. because this setting works together with your Location presets. * Will explain later
:AutoSync: (Ping) This setting is a bit confusing. If "ENABLED" it will allow all apps to sync in the background over any data source that is connected. Which will use more power overall. You have the option to disable. But with Ping this will allow only your google account to synced, which is most important. Ping reduces overall data and power usage. * Will explain later.
:Keep Enabled: (Skip, recommended) This quite possibly one of the most important settings. What this does is keep either the option of data or wifi to always be enabled even when the phone is idle. This setting is crucial. For the ideal settings make sure that neither options are selected, (not highlighted) If either is selected, that option will always be active in result drain your power even when phone is idle and not in use. Its best to skip. * Will explain later. (2)
:Bluetooth: (Skip, recommended) (1)(2)(3)
;Disable Timeout to Force Reconnect: (Skipped if Bluetooth is disabled) (2)
:Timeout: (Skip, recommended) (1)(2)(3)
:Keyguard and Home WiFi network: (Skipped if Timeout is disabled) (2)
:Brightness: (Skip, recommended) (1)(2)(3)
:Levels to Night tint: (Skipped if Brightness is disabled) (2)
Under SCHEDULES tab -
---------------------------------------------------------
[Important] - These SCHEDULES settings are partly connected to Keep Enabled settings under the CONTROLS tab.
:Schedule: (Enabled) This will allow you system to conduct periodic data syncs. Depending on the sub-options below. Wether WiFi or Data is active. This applies to that preset.
:Frequency: (User preference) This has 5 options. The longer the interval the less battery consumption overall. In short, this setting is only effective if either (Keep Enabled) options are active. (2)
;Duration: (User preference) This has 5 options. The longer the interval the less battery consumption overall. In short, this setting is only effective if either (Keep Enabled) options are active. (2).
[Please Note] - By default the frequencies are matched ideally to a specific duration. In theory the longer your system waits to update/sync the more data will be needed to be downloaded. So it might take longer.
:Controls: (Default) also a (User preference) option. Selecting custom allows you to either choose Data or WiFi to be used for scheduled triggers. Default = autosync = autoconnect. Which toggles each interface depending on which is being used the time if not disabled.
:Night: (Enabled) This is one of the most important settings in all of Juice Defender. This allows you set a specific time based on User preference to automatically disable both Data and WiFi during Night set times. This is where your battery will save the most power. You do not need incoming Data from either source when your sleeping.
:Start/End: (User preference) You should you set it to the times you usually sleep. Mine is set from 2:30am to 10:30am.
:Adaptive Start/End: (Skip, recommended) (1)(2)(3)
ptions: (User preference) Here you can choose what your phone does when in night mode. Pretty straight forward. (2)(3)
eak: (Skip, recommended) (User preference) (2)(3) This feature allows you set a specific time in which your phone will not disconnect from either source. Example if your a business type who needs to receive emails constantly. This setting will affect your battery greatly. Suggest skipping.
:Start/End to Controls: (Skipped if Peak is disabled)(2)
To keep it short;
:Weekend: (and all sub-options) (Skip, recommended) (User preference) (2)(3) This works like Peak but is used for specific days and times. To much micro-management. Very unnecessary.
Under TRIGGERS tab -
---------------------------------------------------------
[Important] - These TRIGGERS settings are connected to SCHEDULES settings under the SCHEDULES tab.
:Battery: (Enabled) This option is basically a lifeline. It will allow the following sub-options to be active. This will help your battery save its last bit of energy by disabling all incoming data and sources when triggered by the threshold below.
:Battery Threshold: (User preference) 5 options. The first 2 are most important. My setting is at 5%.
:Charger: (Skip, recommended) (User preference) This setting will allows connections to be made when connected to either USB or AC. Note, is disabled your battery will charge faster. (2)(3)
:Screen: (Enabled) This option will automatically connect to any Data source when your screen is on. When your actually using your phone. This setting is crucial to Keep Enabled. * Will explain later.
ption: (Skip, recommended) (User preference) Self explanatory (ignore on low battery) this option is pointless. It contradicts the entire battery threshold preset.
:Controls: (Default) Also a pointless option. This settings works exactly the same as the Autosync setting under the CONTROLS tab. It actually contradicts the Autosync. What it does is determines which data source will be connected based on preference. But with Ping selected. That alone takes care of that. (2)
:Traffic: (Enabled) Allows connections to remain connected when data is being transferred especially if phone is idle or enters Night mode. Then disables after.
:Traffic Threshold: (Skip, recommended) By default Enabling Traffic will automatically select a preset. This is also based on phones performance when it comes to receiving Data. This is also pretty confusing. (2)
:Apps: (Disabled) (Skip, recommended) (User preference) For best results its best to leaves Disabled. To much micro-management. Very unnecessary. (2)(3)
:Configure and Controls: (Skipped if Apps is Disabled) (2)
:Location: (Enabled) One of the best features on Juice Defender. After connecting to a preferred WiFi location. Juice Defender will train the system to remember the location allowing it to automatically connect when within range of the radius. This feature is connected to the majority of presets. Its the best feature hands down in Juice Defender (2)(3)
(1) This is also a beta feature which isn't fully tested. Could cause problems.
(2) Read the setting description for more info.
(3) Disabled by default.
As i said I would explain.
Juice Defender isn't complicated. For best results its best to use the widgets which come with the app, and place them on your home screen. Also use your Power Control widget to work hand in hand with Juice Defender.
The Run Down. Your phone is constantly connected to a data connection of some sort, whether its wifi or data over 3g or 4g depending on your phone. The reality is. This isn't always needed. And is the main cause of your phone to be dead by the end of the day. So I'm going to tell you how to manage your phone to get the best results.
The Process. Assuming you took into consideration my settings. Its best to make sure your Juice Defender is restarted. Simply click the back button on the app, then swipe down the status bar and watch it restart. After charge your phone. Give it a few hours even after it says 100% what this does is gives Juice Defender to get your battery calibrated and under control. Now. Your widgets. The key widget is your data toggle on/off. Simply turn it off. You don't need data 24/7. This alone will boost the life of your battery. Whenever you need to use the internet, send an email or stream music... Simply turn it on. Its that simple. Whenever your done turn it off. As i mentioned. Ping and Location are the very important. With Ping and Location enabled your phone will simply connect to your WiFi within range. Along with the screen setting. All connections are disabled when phone is idle. Once unlocked thanks to Ping it simply reconnects. Which why i explained that most settings are mangled together. Pretty straightforward. With the settings i provided and the simple instructions as to how to use it. Your phone with easily make its way up the x2.0 and up multiplier. Remember your Juice Defender needs time to get to know your battery. So don't expect it to reach the x2.0 multiplier over night.

Tips to MAXIMIZE the Battery Life of your Xperia Z2

When you talk smartphone, you want consistency, you want reliability, you want good battery life. And considering also that the Xperia Z2 doesn't have a swappable battery, at least not easily, you want your mobile to keep going for as long as possible.
So this thread is to help you optimise the battery life of your Xperia Z2. It's not 'Magic', it's just knowing what drains battery and avoiding it. Simple tips most people know and well, many more should. I will also use the steps from my Initial thread here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2579075 as the steps there are actually helpful to just about any android devices.
Just dat in this thread, i will try to target it at the Xperia Z2 of course.
Xperia Z2 specific tips (Or any other Xperia device)
1. Turn On Stamina Mode: App drawer > Settings > Power Management. Turn it on.
After turning on Stamina mode, remember to add the applications you need active in Standy, these are applications your rely on for notifications, such as Instant messaging apps.
If you do not do this, you will not receive IM messages or email notifications till you turn on your screen.
Example of the apps on my list are: BBM, Email, Gmail, Instagram, Messenger (FB), WhatsApp. So I still get my messages.
2. Turn On Extended Stand By: App drawer > Settings > Power Management > Stamina mode. Then tick Extended Standby.
3. Turn On Extended usage: App drawer > Settings > Power Management > Stamina mode. Then tick Extended Usage. (If you notice lag, turn off this feature) - But this has a HUGE effect on extending battery life. I don't get lags, so i leave it on.
4. Turn On Low Battery mode: App drawer > Settings > Power Management. Turn on Low battery mode. Now select Low Battery mode then Unick Mobile Data Off and WiFi Off, as i'm guessing you would still want to use your internet when ur battery is below 20%.
5. Turn On location Based WiFi: As the name implies, it turns on ur WiFi when u are in a certain location (say home or office). Then turns WiFi off when u out of that location. This feature doesn't work in my situation as I have a mobile pocket router. So I keep it turned off, do the same if you you have one of those too.
6. Turn On Queue background data: App drawer > Settings > Power Management. Tick Queue background data.
As the description below it says, what it does is queue the background data and send out background data at intervals, instead of sending randomly and using more battery.
7. Turning Off X-Reality Engine: This can also help you save some battery, but i guess most people will rather have than on. You can find this here Settings > Display. First thing on the list is X-Reality Engine.
8. Freeze Bloat: Bloatware are apps that could be useful but are not neccesary for the effective running of the phone. The more bloat u have running, the more ram your device uses and in turn, battery. I have made a list of Apps that are 'Safe to Freeze' on the Xperia Z2 itself, as I am not yet rooted at the time of this original post, the list is not yet complete.
But I will add alot more to this list when I root and get the option to freeze even more. You can disable these apps by going into Settings > Apps, then swipe to the 'All' tab. Select the app then hit disable.
Here is the list below.
Safe to Freeze Apps
Account Manager
Black Hole
Bubbles
Drive (I have limited data, i don't use it - I reckon it will drain battery too)

General Tips (Adopted from my first thread)
9. Greenify: ROOT ONLY EVERY rooted user must have Greenify! It's a fantastic app! It hibernates apps that you are not using so they never get to use your battery, yet the apps are available whenever you need them. No stress!
Download Greenify here - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oasisfeng.greenify (I bought the paid version as it has more fuctions)
For those who don't know greenify or how to use it, it's simple! Only Greenify those apps you don't rely on for Push Notifications.
For example, don't greenify apps like WhatsApp, Facebook, Viber, Twitter, BBM if you expect to get notifications from them in the background.
Feel free to Greenify other apps like your games, adobe reader, dictionary, and the rest of them as you don't receive notifications from.
Note: If you are a NON ROOT Greenify user, you can still select to greenify apps. Go into Greenify and click the '3 dots' at the bottom right corner of the screen and hit 'Create hibernation shortcut'. This will send a shortcut to your home screen which u can use to close all ur supposedly 'greenified' apps by just touching that button. Do this whenever, especially just before u lock ur device. It's very effective. However, Greenify works best on Rooted devices. It hibernates automatically.
10. Screen/Brightness: As we all know, normally the screen consumes the most power so if you can manage ur screen properly, u can get some extra juice. My advice on brightness is set to Lowest then tick 'Auto', so you won't have to bother about setting screen brightness especially when outdoors. Then you should screen also set timeout to 30s. Try to avoid using live wallpapers as it uses the GPU for the animations.
11. GPS/Maps: Now, GPS is like the Number One drainer of battery and many many people don't know this. Here is what you do, pull down your notification bar with 2 fingers and make sure 'Location' is turned off. Leave turned off 'ALWAYS' unless you need to use GPS.
Maps is also another app that drains battery in the background, I don't use maps at all, so I keep it frozen/disabled all the time.
But if you use maps always and you are ROOTED, my advice is that you open up TitaniumBackup, look for maps on the list of apps, long press it and then convert to User app. Now u can Greenify it and it will still be available whenever you need it.
Note: Latest versions of Titanium Backup doesn't allow you to convert user apps, I can't find it anywhere anyways.. But here is a work-around. Uninstall Maps in Titanium Backup. Then re-install it from Play Store. Now it will install as User app instead of system app and u can freeze it.
12. Google Now / Google+: Google now does drain battery, if you don't use Google Now, turn it off. Go into Google now, enter settings and turn off. I keep my Google now frozen as I never use it anyways. If I ever need to, I will unfreeze it.
Google+ is one app that drains alot of battery, if you do not use it much or don't need it at all, my advice is that you handle it. Greenify it or better still, Get rid of it. However, if you use Google+ always and you are ROOTED, Greenify it just as I said in the step above.
If you successfully handle numbers 11 and 12, you will not have issues with 'Google Services' drain anymore!
13. Sounds/Vibration: Maybe not really a big deal, but those keypad/touch sounds do drain battery. It's fine to leave them on if you 'really' like em, but if you can do without, then do! Especially Haptic Feedback! (Vibrate on touch). Settings > Sound. Now scroll down to System. You will get the option there to turn them off. It's fine to leave Dial pad touch tones and StartUp tone. You don't hear/use then dat often (If that makes any sense to you lol). Also go into ur keyboard settings and turn off any sounds and vibration
14. Reception: Believe it or not, reception is VERY IMPORTANT when it comes to battery life saving. If you have good reception, then it's smooth sailing and good battery, but if your reception isn't good then your phone is always always trying to reconnect your apps and services to the internet, over and over and over again! (especially on mobile data). Trust me, this can take a serious Toll on your battery.
Here is how: Well, since i'm always on WiFi (have a pocket router as i said earlier).. I never need '3G/HSPA' reception active (No 4G here), so I set my phone to GSM/2G Only. Go into Settings > More... > Mobile Networks. then change Network mode to GSM Only). If you use LTE, you can set to either just 3G Only as that should still be more stable than 4G/LTE, you can still set as above too, afterall you won't be needing the LTE connection when on WiFi.
Bottomline, setting phone to 'GSM only' saves you a CHUNK of battery
However, if this sounds too complicated or something, this App makes it simple. (SADLY it is ROOT ONLY) You can set it to switch your phone to GSM Only when on WiFi and then Back to 4G/3G when disconnected from WiFi. Pretty Neat eh?

15. Disable Animation scales: Settings > Developer Options. Then scroll down to 'Drawing' section. And set the following to 'Animation Off'. Window animation scale, Transition animation scale and Animator duration scale. What this does it disable those UI animation helping you save battery, at the same time, making ur phone feel more responsive and fast.
Note: If you can't find 'Developer Options' in your settings menu, Select 'About Phone' instead then scroll down and keep hitting the 'Build number' option as many times till you see message saying 'You are now a developer', now go back and you will find developer options!
16. Sync: Of course disabling Auto Sync will extend your battery time, but then your smartphone might as well not be called a 'smart'phone anymore. So, even if you leave Auto-Sync on, be sure to make sure that your phone Auto Syncs stuffs that you actually want it to, things that you really need! Especially under Google Sync. Open Settings, Scroll down to 'Accounts' area then select Google. After you select Google, now select ur main account there which i guess should normally be the first one. Not sure, I only alays have 1 google account on my phone. After you select it, you will see a list of the items it is actively Syncing. For me here, the most important to me are 'Sync Contacts' and 'Sync Gmail' and those are the only two I leave active. I untick all the rest. You should do this according to what you use, or do it like Stanley! You can apply same to other google accounts you have on ur phone.

I found out that the Whites on the Xperia Z2 is kinda off. Looks 'brownish' if I may. Go into Settings > Display > White balance. Then try R = 5, G = 35, B = 80.

Having said all these, I know some of you will disagree with some things I have written above. But I'm only trying to help Xperia Z2 users get the best out of their Battery.
And hopefully the screenshots below will convince you to try some or all of the tips above. And as I said, I'm not rooted (at the time of this post) so i guess even root is not essential to get the best battery life on the Z2.
I had BBM, WhatsApp, 2 Email clients (Stock and Gmail), Instagram, Messenger (FB). Stock Facebook app drains too much battery! I don't use it.

For some reason, GSam Battery Monitor Pro did not tally with the phones stats exactly. I think it was because I didn't install the Kitkat battery stat thing it asked me to or maybe its because i'm not rooted. Don't know really. Anyways, it's only about 1 or 2 minutes off and still as credible, you get a better idea of how i used my phone.

thanks for sharing and making the list of safe apps to disable. I followed the list and disabled almost all of them and you should include xperia with twitter as well beside the facebook one. Since im not rooted,thats the only thing i do now + stamina mode. Now i will see how it will go with battery saving

Ok i will add to the list as i said. Don't forget to say if it helps you. Cheers!

Thanks for the post. It's nice to see I'm not the only one who's anal about battery life. And I hate all the battery draining bloatware (that's usually switched ON by default as well).
I'll de-bloat some more as soon as there's an exploit that allows me to root without UB.
And I'll have a look into Greenify as well. Is it as good as You claim it to be?
EDIT: It would be nice to know what all those safe-to-remove apps do. What does Xperia Social Engine Sharing do, for instance?

I will look at them, but i guess it has to do with sharing something from an app in ur phone to FB. 'Safe to Freeze' only means freezing it won't disturb ur phone and not that u must freeze them all. I don't use these...

Unless rooted, I don't think greenify helps that much. It doesn't seem to hibernate properly once out the app. Just sits in pending?!

Lol. I get ur confusion. But technically, No. Stamina mode disables internet to stop apps from transferring data. Greenify closes the entire app. Let's say for instance, you sleep off using your phone, maybe with Google Chrome running, stamina mode will only stop google chrome from transferring in the background 'periodically' but Greenify will close Google chrome entirely because it sees that your screen has been turned off for a while which means that you are not using the app. So, it closes it entirely. Saving you even more juice.

I do nothing you are mentioning and getting almost 2 days battery life.

[GUIDE]How to get the best battery life possible on your Moto G

Hi all,​
Renewable Energy, batteries and efficient electricity is somewhat of a hobby of mine, and Android is another. So, I have combined the two to bring you better battery life. I have achieved 0.0%/h battery drain on idle with my Motorola Moto G 2 XT1068, running AOSP 5.1.1 and I am writing this tutorial to show you how you can potentially do the same on your device, without a significant sacrifice in functionality to your device.
This tutorial can very easily adapted to suit any rooted Lollipop phone with Xposed installed, the only major differences would be in the ‘Amplify’ section and for this you can have a look at this and this for guidelines on wakelocks and alarms for other devices.
First of all, I would to say that following this tutorial does not guarantee you the exact same battery life that I have gained. There are SO many different variables that can effect your battery life including the device you are using, the ROM you have installed, the apps you run and the amount of time you use your screen. Two very useful apps for measuring battery usage are BetterBatteryStats and Wakelock Detector
You should stay away from the so called ‘battery saver’ apps that flood the play store. At best most of them will simply have no effect, at worst they will drain your battery even further. See this for more details.
This tutorial is not just for root users. If you have not achieved root on your device, you can still use the tips in 'basic ROM settings', much of the tasker section (Anything involving secure settings requires root) and some of the greenify features.
For this tutorial you will need 7 apps:
Tasker
Greenify
Amplify
Intelli3G
Secure Settings (Tasker Plugin)
MinMinGuard
Kernel Adiutor
If you are having trouble starting Amplify you may need SELinux Mode Changer set to permissive in order for it to work, although according to the developer, as of v3.0.5 you shouldn’t have any problems.
For all the apps except tasker you will need a rooted device, and you will need the Xposed Framework installed for Greenify, Amplify, Intelli3G & MinMinGuard.
Remember, the steps in this tutorial are just guidelines. If you find that particular parameters aren’t working for you, you can change them.
NB THIS THREAD IS NOT FOR Q&A ON THE SPECIFIC WORKINGS OF THESE APPS. IF YOU ARE HAVING TROUBLE WITH THE APPS THEMSELVES, PLEASE HEAD OVER TO THESE RELAVENT THREADS:
Tasker
Greenify
Amplify
Intelli3G
MinMinGuard​
DISCLAIMER: I do not accept responsibility for any device or application failures resulting from the use of any of these apps​
But before we go into the use of these apps, I'll go through some basic ROM settings and how they may effect your battery life

Basic ROM Settings​
The biggest battery drain on devices are screen on time/brightness, WiFi/Data & GPS. Therefore, it makes most sense to get those basic settings right before you do anything else.
Screen/Display:
Screen brightness is the big killer of batteries. The more light that you send to the screen, the more power you need to use. Simple. On a similar principle, dark themes will use less power than light themes, that is why all the old android themes were black with white writing, to save on battery consumption. It is true that AMOLED screens have the most to gain in savings from using dark themes, but regular screens will also benefit.
There is an xposed module called 'Minimum Brightness' which will allow you to reduce the brightness on your phone to levels below that normally allowed by your ROM. This is very handy, especially if you, like I do, use your phone at night in bed (and don't want to wake your sleeping partner). It has the added bonus of saving battery power by sending less power to the screen. The module can be installed directly from the Xposed Installer. Don't forget to activate the module and reboot. Once you have it installed there won't be any additional app in the drawer, the module just uses the standard brightness slider and alters the applied values.
Believe it or not, but the phone’s auto rotate function can potentially use quite a lot of battery power. Having auto rotate enabled uses about 3-5% CPU power constantly. Contrary to popular belief (mostly bandied about by task killer app devs), high RAM usage has very little impact on battery life, rather it is CPU usage that is the real killer. Do your battery a favour and turn off the auto rotate unless you need it. I have a tasker profile set to only auto rotate my screen when maps is launched.
Turn off Auto Brightness. More often than not, auto brightness overcompensates for the amount of light that is in a room, turning up the brightness more than you actually need, plus it is another sensor that is always running and using up CPU. Set your screen to the lowest setting you feel comfortable with and only turn it up when you go outside.
Alteratively, if you can't live without auto brightness, use gravitybox to change the auto brightness settings to levels that suit you.
I am firmly in the habit of pressing the power button to turn off the screen when I put the phone down, but for those of you who are not, that is why we have screen timeouts. Set it to 2mins, or less if you are comfortable with that.
WiFi/Data/Sync:
By default, even when your WiFi is switched off, your phone scans for WiFi networks in the background. This understandably uses battery power that could be better used elsewhere. To switch off this feature, go to:
Settings > WiFi > Menu (3 dots in upper right corner) > Advanced > Scanning always available > Off
There is another option in this menu also: ‘Keep WiFi on during sleep’. This option doesn’t matter if you are following the Tasker part of this tutorial because later we will be creating a profile which will automatically override this option. If you are not following the Tasker Section however, you could check this box for extra battery savings.
Notifications are something we all take for granted as users of smartphones. But we don’t really need as many of them as we get. Have a think of all the notifications you get and see if you can live without any of them. Every app that is sending you notifications is another background process using up your battery power.
You can also turn off autosync and use tasker to control the phone sync settings instead (see tasker section below)
Settings > Accounts > Menu (3 dots in top right) > Auto Sync: Off
Background data uses up battery life and if you are on a limited data plan, turning off background data for unnecessary apps can help here too. Go to Settings > Mobile Data and select the apps you wish to restrict.
Location:
This is probably the simplest one. Turn it off. You don’t need it on all the time. Turn it on when needed, or create a Tasker profile that will turn it on for you when you launch certain apps.
Bluetooth:
While bluetooth is not quite the battery hog it was a few years ago, it still does use up battery life that could otherwise be saved. Turn it off or set up a tasker profile to intelligently handle the service.
Other Settings:
OK Google/Google Now - The always on microphone and the constant background data sync is a big battery drainer. If you are a user you should decide what is more important to you, better battery life or the convenience of the app.
Motorola Apps - They are also big battery drainers. If they are on your device and you don't use them, freeze them with an app like titanium backup.
Native Phone Battery Saver App - If you are following the rest of this tutorial, turn it off. You’ll no longer need it as you’ll be replacing everything it does with stuff that Tasker can do and it will just be yet another app running in the background that you don’t need.
Smart Unlock/Face Unlock - Yes its cool, but unnecessary. Front camera on to save your poor finger the trouble? What do you think that is doing to your battery life? Switch it off.
Window animations will also drain the battery, you can turn those off by going to Settings > Developer Options and turning off 'Window Animation Scale', 'Transition Animation Scale' and 'Animator Duration Scale'. I tend to leave them on because I like the look of them
Live Wallpaper - Possibly the most pointless thing I have seen on a smartphone. If you are reading this and have a live wallpaper, you should know better. Shame on you.
Vibrations - Turn them off too, every shake uses battery life.
---​
Advanced ROM Settings​
CPU Governor:
Another setting that will effect your battery life is the cpu governor that your ROM uses. You can check out what governor your ROM uses by downloading an app like Kernel Adiutor. Depending on the ROM and Kernel you are using, you will have different options for different governors. Take a look at this guide to help you choose the right governor for you.
CPU Frequency:
The speed that your cpu runs at also has a huge effect on the battery life of your device. I have left my maximum frequency at 1.19ghz, but reduced my minimum frequency from 787mhz down to 300mhz. This was, again, using Kernel Adiutor.
Multi core Power Saving: Enabled
*Notes: You must have root in order to change CPU settings and the Stock kernel has only very limited options to change CPU settings.
Hotplugging:
Intelli_plug is a total replacement for Qualcomm's proprietary mpdecsion.
it hotplugs/unplugs cpu cores based on load demand of the system.
mpdecision is a closed source proprietary solution from Qualcomm and it's not very efficient at hotplugging/unpluggng cpu cores leading to hotter cpu and poorer battery. Intelliplug is a complete OPEN Source solution to mpdecision and it is done in kernel instead of userspace (which it has to poll the kernel in order to make its decisions therefore inherently slower than in kernel solution like intelliplug).
MPDecision: Off
Intelliplug: On
Profile: Conservative
Touch Boost: Off
Hysteresis Value: 8
Threshold Value: 350
Set Maximum Screen Off Freq: 600mhz
GPU:
Max Freq: 450mhz
Governor: simple_ondemand*
Simple GPU Algorithm: enabled
Laziness: 5
Ramp: 4
*Similar to CPU governors, the options may be different for you depending on your ROM/kernel
Other Tips:
The standard Facebook app uses a lot of battery, and has many privacy issues. There is another app called 'Tinfoil for Facebook' that is an amazing alternative, and uses absolutely no battery when its not being used. Only catch is, there's no facility for push notifications. Which is fine by me. I always have them off anyway.
---
OK, now that we have all that covered, lets move on!

Tasker​
I shall go through battery saving techniques using Tasker first, because it is a straightforward install via the Play store and does not require the Xposed Framework. For this section of the guide all steps are the same whether you are running KItKat or Lollpop.
Tasker is an awesome app and hugely useful for many things within android. The basic principle is that it will automate many tasks for you based around parameters that you set, such as time, phone state, applications launched etc.
Once you have Tasker installed, you should head back to the play store and install ‘Secure Settings’, which is an extra plugin and adds even more functionality to Tasker. Then you need to head to Settings > Security > Device Administrators and ensure the Tasker box is checked.
Now you can open the Tasker app and you shall see this screen:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
For the purposes of this tutorial we shall just be using the ‘Profiles’ and ‘Tasks’ tabs. The Task is what you want to happen, and the Profile is when you want it to happen.
We shall start by creating a task to set the phone to go automatically into airplane mode at night. This is a great battery saver if, like me, you don’t turn off your phone at night. I shall go through this task in detail so you get a feel for the UI. Then I’ll type the same tutorial out in shorthand. All the rest of the profiles will be done in this way.
Airplane Mode At Night:
1In the profiles tab, hit + at the bottom of the screen.
2Enter new profile name. I called this one ‘Airplane Mode At Night’ *
* If Tasker does not automatically ask you to name your profile directly after hitting '+', on the profiles screen, hit the menu button (3 dots in top right) and select Preferences > Main Screen > Check the box that says 'Ask for new profile name'. That will fix it so that the order in this tutorial is correct.
3Select ‘Time’
4Choose the time you wish airplane mode to start in the ‘from’ section, and choose the time you wish airplane mode to finish in the ‘to’ section. Leave the ‘repeat’ checkbox blank.
5To save, you must press the Tasker icon in the top left of the screen. This will bring you back to the main screen with a popup menu.
6Select ‘New Task’ and call the task ‘Airplane Mode On’
7This will bring you to another new screen, once again, click the + at the bottom of the screen.
8A new menu will pop up, ‘Select Action Category’. Go ahead and press ‘Plugin’ > ‘Secure Settings’.
9 You will now be in the ‘Action Edit’ Screen. This allows you to set parameters for this particular Action. Click the Pencil icon beside ‘Configuration’. This will open up the secure settings screen.
10Under ‘Root Actions’ Click ‘Airplane Mode’ and select ‘On’. Then save. You will automatically be taken back to the ‘Action Edit’ screen. Save this task as you did before, by clicking the Tasker icon on the top left of the screen.
11Now, you are almost done. But first, you need to create an exit task for the profile. That way Tasker knows to revert back to normal mode at the exit time.
12Under the Profiles Tab find your profile and click it once to expand it out. Long press on the ‘Airplane Mode On’ task and then choose ‘Add Exit Task’. Call your exit task ‘Airplane Mode Off’
13Now you are going to go through steps 7 to 10 again, but instead of selecting Airplane Mode ‘on’, you are going to select ‘off’. When you are finished, save your exit task. That’s it! You have created your first Tasker Profile. You can toggle this profile on/off from the profiles tab, so if there’s a particular night you might be expecting a call you can turn it off.
Shorthand:
Profile: Airplane Mode Off At Night
Time: 0000 to 0800
Task:Airplane Mode On:
A1 (Action 1): Plugin > Secure Settings > Root Actions > Airplane Mode > On
Exit:Airplane Mode Off:
A1: Plugin > Secure Settings > Root Actions > Airplane Mode > Off
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
WiFi Off At Night:
Now for the next Battery Saver Tasker Profile, WiFi Off At Night. Before Tasker I often would forget to turn off my WiFi before I went to sleep, and if I was somewhere without my charger this could be a real battery drain for me overnight.
Profile:WiFi Off At Night
Time: 0000 to 0800
Application: (Invert) Moon Reader, Yatse
Task:WiFi Off:
A1: Net > WiFi > Set: Off
Exit:WiFi On:
A1: Net > WiFi > Set: On
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
On that profile I added an extra qualifier, to do this create ‘Time’ first and save it. Then create your task, the same as you did on the previous tutorial. Once your task is created and saved, you can go back and long press on time in the profile and click ‘Add’. It is inverted because I am telling Tasker that as long as the time is between 0000 and 0800 and these applications are NOT running, it is ok to turn off the WiFi. You can configure these apps whatever way you like, this is just what suits me, because I might often be using my phone as an XBMC remote after midnight and I need my WiFi connection for that. Alternatively I might be reading, in which case Moon Reader syncs my page position to Google Drive so all my devices have the same location for whatever book I am reading.
Screen Off With Periodic Data/WiFi:
This profile saves a lot of battery by only having data, WiFi and sync switched on when you need it, i.e. When the screen is on. If the screen is off it will automatically turn off connectivity, but will still periodically re-enable it for background notifications such as email and Viber etc.
This is quite a complicated one to roll into one single profile, so, to make it easier I have split it into five separate profiles. Other people may suggest other ways of doing this, feel free to do so. (If a better way is suggested that is just as easy for noobs I’ll change this post to include it and give the poster credit).
Profile 1: Screen Unlocked/Data On
Event > Display > Display Unlocked
Time: 0801 to 2359
Taskata On:
A1: Plugin > Secure Settings > Actions > Run Command > 'svc data enable' (Root: Yes)
---
Profile 2:Screen Unlocked/WiFi On
Event > Display > Display Unlocked
Time: 0801 to 2359
Task:WiFi On*
---
Profile 3:Screen Off/Data Off
State > Display > Display State > Is: Off
Time: 0801 to 2359
Taskata On:
A1: Plugin > Secure Settings > Actions > Run Command > 'svc data disable' (Root: Yes)
---
Profile 4:Screen Off/WiFi Off
State > Display > Display State > Is: Off
Time: 0801 to 2359
Task:WiFi Off*
---
Profile: Ping Net On
State > Display > Display State > Is: Off
Time: 0801 to 2359 & REPEAT EVERY 29mins**
Task: Ping Net On
A1: Net > Auto Sync > On
A2: Net > WiFi > Set: On
A3: Task > Wait > 30 Seconds
A4: Net > WiFi > Set: Off
A5: Plugin > Secure Settings > Actions > Run Command > 'svc data enable' (Root: Yes)
A6: Task > Wait > 30 Seconds
A7: Plugin > Secure Settings > Actions > Run Command > 'svc data disable' (Root: Yes)
A8: Net > Auto Sync > Off
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This last profile has many actions in it. You can test out more complicated profiles by pressing the play button in the bottom left of the screen. I have set this up so that it will turn on WiFi first and sync my notifications (Viber, Email etc) for 30 seconds, then if I am out and about and there is no WiFi it will also turn on mobile data for 30 seconds.
* Use the same task that you created earlier to save on doubling up on tasks
** You can set this to repeat however often you like, but bear in mind that the shorter the repeat interval, the less effective it will be at saving battery life.

Greenify​
Greenify is a very useful app and a great battery saver. Basically what it does is hibernate any apps you are not using, while still maintaining full functionality of your device. What is the difference between this and other task killers you might ask? Well, lifehacker describes this perfectly:
It's important to note that Greenify is not a task killer (which you shouldn't use anyway), and it doesn't "freeze" apps. The apps that Greenify hibernates are still usable if you want to switch to them, and you can still pass data to them as though they were running. When you switch back to them, it's like you never left. Greenify just keeps those apps from launching new background processes (a problem with task killers) and you don't have to unfreeze or thaw an app to use it when you want to (a problem with "frozen apps").
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
To get full functionality of the Greenify app you will need to have the newest version 2.6.1 (at time of writing) from the play store, with donation package installed as well as the Xposed framework installed. Once you install the app from the play store don’t forget to enable it in Xposed and reboot before you try to use it. You can use this app without Xposed and the Donation Package, but you will only have very limited functionality.
Once you have the app open for the first time you should click the three dots on the upper right corner and select Experimental Features. Go ahead and click all of the checkboxes in here.
Now you want to leave the app and in your app drawer select Settings > Apps > Running. Note the apps that are using the most RAM on your device.
The trick with Greenify is NOT to ‘Greenify’ any apps that you want to receive notifications for, like Viber etc. (As of the latest release you can check a box in ‘Experimental Features’ which will allow phone calls and SMS/MMS messages through, so it is now safe to Greenify the Dialler and Messager apps)
To Greenify your apps, simply click on the + in the top right of the screen. This will open the ‘App Analyzer’ Click the 3 dots at the top right again and select ‘show all’, then go to the bottom of the page and click ‘Show more apps’. You now have a full list of all the applications and processes on the system. You can multi select apps in this app, simply work your way down the list clicking the apps you want to Greenify. The apps I have Greenified on my device are as follows, yours will obviously be different. I do not have gapps installed on my device and avoid Google apps and services as much as I can:

*WhatsApp is safe to greenify, and you'll still receive messages when your phone syncs according to your tasker settings, but Viber cannot be greeified as you will not receive messages when the app is in hibernation.
I could have Greenified the Motorola Services that are packaged as system apps too, but I have no need as I have used Titanium Backup to freeze them. If you do not need Facebook/G+/Twitter notifications you could Greenify these too. I haven’t got them on my list because I don’t have Twitter/FB/G+ accounts!
You can also create a tasker profile to automatically greenify apps when you switch the screen off and/or at certain time intervals if you prefer.
Profile: Screen off/Hibernate apps
State: Display > Screen Off
Task: Hibernate Apps:
A1: Plugin > Greenify > Hibernate Now > Configuration > All Greenified Apps

Amplify
Amplify is an amazing app. It controls how often apps and services can wake up your device and how long they will stay awake for. You will need the Xposed Framework installed and if you are on Lollipop and having any trouble you will need SELinux Mode Changer set to Permissive in order for it to work, although according to the developer, as of v3.0.5 you shouldn’t have any problems. You may also need to do a soft reboot from within the Xposed Installer if Amplify does not start.
Once again, to unleash full control of this app, you must donate to the developer. The donate buttons can be found at the bottom of the homescreen. Once you have donated, reboot your phone and you will be able to configure all of your alarms and wakelocks. There is a list of safe wakelocks, alarms and recommended times available on this database that is regularly maintained here
To configure your individual wakelocks and alarms, click the Amplify icon in the top left of the screen.
Select Wakelocks and you will get a full list of all wakelocks that are currently on your device. Click an individual wakelock to configure it:
My setup for my Moto G XT1068 is as follows:
(The numbers here refer to how many seconds interval amplify allows the process to perform a wakelock, not the amount of wakelocks)
Wakelocks:
LocationManagerService - (2400)
Network Stats - (2400)
CheckinService - (2400)
GpsLocationProvider - (600)

com.google.android.gms./com.google.android.location.internal.AnalyticsSampler - (1200)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Please note, I haven't got gapps installed on my phone so there are several other wakelocks and alarms that are safe to modify on our devices that are gapps related. Please see this post by @matzeko for extra Moto G 2014 wakelocks and alarms that you can use on your device.
WARNING: Modifying Wakelocks and Alarms can potentially cause apps to stop working and in some cases your device may even fail to boot. In such an instance you will need to disable the module at boot. To do this you have to repeatedly tap one of the hardware buttons (Power, Volume, or Home) on your device during startup. During boot, your device will vibrate twice when it detects the first key press. You'll then have five seconds to press that same button four more times, with each keystroke producing a short single vibration. After ending with a long vibration, your device will disable and prevent most of Xposed's actions, allowing you to go back to Amplify settings and fix whatever it was that you broke.
For more information on Amplify , and for detailed questions about the running of the app, please head over to the Original Amplify Thread

Intelli3G​
Intelli3G was designed to save battery by intelligently switching your phone between 2G and 3G depending on the parameters that you set. 2G is a far less power hungry network type (You may have seen the difference in battery life in manufacturers specifications between 3G and 2G talktime). It will not change the network type if you are in the middle of a call. (If it did your call would drop). You can install Intelli3G via the play store, just remember to activate the module and reboot after installation.
FIRST ENSURE THAT YOUR CARRIER SUPPORTS 2G NETWORKS​
Play around with the settings for yourself and see what way you like it to be set up.
I have mine set up as follows:
- Toggle to ‘Slow Network’
- Power Saving Network Mode: (GSM only)
- Fast Network Mode: (WCDMA Preferred)
- Service - (On)
- Power Saving Network Options:
- Screen Off - (Yes)
- Delay - (0)
- Don’t Interrupt Downloads - (No)
- Don’t Switch On Good Network - (No)
- WiFi Connected - (Yes)
- Data Disabled - (Yes)
- Fast Network Options:
- Screen On - (No)
- Screen Unlock - (No)
- App Launch - (Yes)
- Select any apps that need a faster connection (IM apps generally don’t, unless you also use them for VOIP)
- Charger Connected - (Yes)
- WiFi Disconnected - (No)
- Data Enabled - (No)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So basically, the only time the 3G network is being used is when I have no WiFi access, the screen is on, and particular apps (for me it is Opera Browser, Flipboard, VOIP calling, Play Store, K9 Mail) are open. At all other times the phone is using the 2G network and saving a LOT of battery life. If there are other apps that you use that you need a faster Internet speed for, you should add these to your list too.

MinMinGuard​
I'm tagging this section on to the end because I have no more reserved posts
I have added an ad blocker to this tutorial because of an article I read in Forbes:
"Apps powered by advertisements can eat up as much as 33% more energy than those without while draining significant amounts of a phone’s central processing unit and network data, according to a new study from the University of Southern California and Rochester Institute of Technology. The drain from the ads also contributes to higher costs for phone users with limited data plans, as well as key drops in average app rating scores for developers."
MinMinGuard is the best Ad Blocker that I have come across BY FAR, you just have to remember to manually configure the settings for any new app you install. It couldn't be easier, install MinMinGuard via the Xposed Installer, reboot the phone, then from within the select the apps that you want MinMinGuard to monitor and block ads on. And it just works. There is no grey empty space where the ad should have been, MinMinGuard compensates for this (see the original app thread linked in the OP).
---
So, there is my tutorial for achieving maximum battery life out of your device, WITHOUT using any of the useless 'battery saving task killer' apps from the play store.

good thread
Good Thread, I will test later. but I have no root.
But I have a doubt: Google Now consumes a lot of battery? The microphone is on the whole day, I believe that it costs a lot of battery.
Anyone have test disable it?

A well written and excellent guide for battery-saving. Knew many facts mentioned above but learned a lot more too. Thank you!

Google now probably would consume quite a bit of battery. I don't use it myself, and don't have gapps flashed on my device, just the playstore, so I don't have any way of testing. To be honest the idea of google potentially being able to listen in on everything I say terrifies me If you wanted to check how much battery it would use BetterBatteryStats would give you an accurate percentage. However, all of the above methods will still improve your battery life even if you did have google now enabled

Thanks for your guide, will try it later.
As I have already experimented with amplify, I have some questions:
- Do you get push messages, e.g whatsapp, in realtime to your device while in deepsleep?
- Does a-gps still work for you or does it take a long time until you get a gps fix?

Click to expand...

Because of my tasker settings (as described in the OP) I have my phone set to background sync every half hour, so because of this I get Whatsapp/Viber messages on the half hour (unless my screen is unlocked, in which case I'll get them in real-time). As stated in the OP, if this sync interval doesn't suit you, you can shorten it, but it will effect your battery savings
When I open an app that needs GPS fix, like Maps or Zombies Run I get a GPS fix usually within 4-5 seconds. (I also have a tasker profile to turn on GPS whenever either of these apps turn on)

Thanks for this brilliant guide, agreed it should be made a sticky.
(Slightly off-topic, but for anyone who doesn't have Tasker and now wants to buy it you can get it for free. Pay for it with PayPal before the end of March and you will get the cost refunded. May be UK only, see PP for details)

Changing RILJ doesnt broke anything? I mean, if it has so many wakes, maybe its important to be always on. Could you explain it?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Everything is working fine. RILJ actually has over 9000 wakelocks on my system, it is high because I have blocked Dialler Location permissions in AppOps. It cannot get a lock on my location, hence the higher wakelocks. Amplify is helping to keep it in check. The number after each wakelock in the OP referrs to the number of seconds interval I have set for Amplify to allow the process, not how many wakelocks there are.

Hi guys,
I have added another section to the tutorial. This part is about basic ROM settings and how they effect your battery life. You can see it in post #2 Screenshots will follow

Yes, it does, but you can also do that manually in Developer Options by turning off 'Window Animation Scale', 'Transition Animation Scale' and 'Animator Duration Scale'. I had forgotten about that because I like to keep the animations on.
EDIT: Added to OP

The highlight of this thread is the way he explained Tasker and Secure Settings profiles.Most of them around here are confused with it.

Saw a post about change the scale view Standard to Zoom would help to get battery life, Is that Correct ?

9: how to switch off auto sync ?

just go to settings => accounts management => click onn your gmail or another account you will see the option to turn off the sync

[Fix/Tips] Battery drain and performance problems fix

Hello guys, I want to try to help everyone who has problems with battery life and performance.
First of all, I want to say that you shouldnt have any problems if you use your device in a normal way(calling ,social networking apps, playing light games etc)
A SOT of around 6-7h on mobile network or a SOT of 7-8h on WiFi is really good and in my opinion normal and you shouldnt need to worry about. Over night while you are sleeping (8h for example) your battery shouldnt drain more than 3-5%.
If you have much less SOT or much more battery drain over night, you should read the following steps and try them.
(I can tell you that my OP3/3t never drains more than 3-4% over night and I have no problem getting 6h SOT on mobile network or 6-7h or even more on WiFi use only. I have to say I dont use Facebook or twitter for example, but I have my Bluetooth always turned on because i use a mi band )
Please try the following steps and tell me if it did help you. (Please choose one option in the pool)
1. Activate doze mode and aggressive doze mode in developer options and change the animation scale
- Go into settings -> developer options -> Doze mode -> activate it
- Go into Settings ->Battery ->3 Dots Menu ->Agressive doze & app hibernation ->Tap the slider and activate for apps
- Go into settings -> developer Options -> Window Animation scale/Transitions Animation scale/Animator duration scale -> set them to .5x or even off
2. Install Greenify from Google Play Store and activate it
Activate it for every app you can, except for apps with a little blue cloud as they need to work in background to sync data. (WhatsApp for example)
3. Wipe cache after every update and from time to time (I recommend once a week)
Turn off your phone -> hold power button and volume down button -> release the power when your phone turns on -> select english by pressing the volume down button and then the power button -> go to wipe cache and data -> select cache (and nothing else!) and press the power button -> reboot now
4. Turn off potential power hogs you dont necessarily need
- For example turn off Bluetooth, GPS Location and Location history, Mobile Data if not in use, WiFi if not in use and NFC -> you can find them in settings under their name
- Also turn off things like gestures in settings: Go into settings -> Gestures -> turn them off
5. Use pocket mode
Settings -> Advanced -> Pocket Mode
6. Turn off Android Device Manager and Google Now Cards
- Settings -> Security & Fingerprint -> Device Administrators -> Android Device-Manager -> turn it off
- Open your Google App -> Settings -> Your Feed -> Turn off Feed
7. Configure your WiFi
- Settings -> Wifi -> tap the gear symbol -> turn off "Scanning always available"
- You can also turn off "Keep wifi on during sleep" but i dont recommend it as apps like WhatsApp will only receive messages when you turn your screen back on!
8. Use adaptive brightness
Use the little "A" in the dropdown settings menu next to your screen brigthness bar
9. Use a Browser that is developed for Snapdragon devices
I recommend using Gello Mod or TugaBrowser as they are developed especaily for using with a device with a snapdragon CPU to save battery -> just search for them in Google
10. Disable permissions of apps
Try disabling permissions of apps if possible. This should prevent apps from using your internet connection and staying in background keeping your CPU awake. Please be aware that some specific apps need some specific rights to work properly. Use the try and error method here.
11. If u have custom recovery installed you can use custom kernels such as ex kernel , blu spark etc for better battery and performance.
