Google play services

I always see Google play services running in the background and associating with various applications. After doing a search, looks like there are ways to reduce it's activity and improve battery life.
My question is this, has anyone done anything to Google play service to improve battery life on the G3? If so, what have you done and how has it affected the battery performance?

The best solution if you're willing to lose gcm notifications (notifications for google stuff) and everything google, including the playstore & auto app updates. is to simply freeze the entire google framework, and unfreeze the framework when you need access to the playstore.
But if you're one of those kinda ppl that's always looking at & downloading new apps and in constant need of the playstore or you use hangouts ect you might wanna check into an app for disabling google framework individual services you don't use (disable service is a good app for this). This is a far less effective approach then the first option in terms of battery life but you won't lose everything google including the playstore. if you don't use the first option and your into debloating this takes debloating to the next level.
I use the first option myself, after my phone is setup properly do i rarely ever need to use the playstore which is only a reboot away.
The battery savings on each device varies depending how your phone currently behaves, for example when my phone was wacked out too many apps and services and stuff i didn't notice too much battery savings, but after flashing to a fresh stock firmware (factory reset didn't help) then when my phone was working good again i then did a quick before and after, while trying the first option again it was a noticable difference, i haven't tested properly to tell you a % but it's noticable.
EDIT: Here, take a look at this, it's a 100% win whichever option you choose...

I found the absolute best solution for this problem. It allows you to retain all functionality of your phone and still get incredible battery life. Check out my thread about it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-...-services-google-search-t2885111#post55617005

Regarding Moto G's battery life and saving tips

My previously phone was just a low budget Xperia X8 but I was used to only have to charge it each 2/3 days with normal usage.
So, after buying the Moto G 2nd Gen and having to charge it twice a day in the first days of usage (heavy usage I must say), I started to try to find ways how I could optimize the battery of my new phone.
I started reading about how what changed with newer versions of Android, the issues lollipop has and the impact services and apps have on the battery life in current versions of Android with the technologies our phone has.
I started looking into tasker and many other apps, and thinking in rooting my phone to have even more control over the battery usage, but even without rooting, I manage to make it last 3 days with normal usage (more than 7 hours on screen time heavy usage).
At that time I was like "Great! Now I only have to charge it once every 3 days just like my old Xperia X8". But then it came to me, my smartphone wasn't actually that smart after all the tweaks I had to make to save its battery.
At that point I started to do lots of tests to check what's really draining the battery and after all those tests now I have a battery that lasts 2/3 days with normal usage while having a true smartphone!
This is what you should do:
Note: I have the model XT1068 and I'm using two sim cards with it, and you'll need the app tasker for a crucial step but you will NOT need root.
_______________________________________________________________________
WHAT YOU SHOULD DISABLE:​
- Disable "Ok Google" detection -> big battery drainer
- Disable the following apps:
Assist
Motorola Alert
Motorola Contextual Services
Motorola Migration
Motorola One Time Init
Motorola Notification
HP print service (you already have google cloud print service)
Motorola Init Services
Help
Motorola One Time Init
You should also disable all the google apps you don't want to use.
- Disable Wifi always on network search
- Disable Wifi every time you are not using it
- Disable Auto-Sync (you'll have auto-sync back in a more smart and efficient way using tasker)
- Disable Ambient Notifications (you already have the notification led to warn you about incoming notifications)
- Disable Audio Effects
- Temporarily enable auto-sync so you could manually disable all the apps you don't need to be synced (ex.: Google Plus, Drive, etc). Disable auto-sync after you are done with the changes.
- Disable all those reports being automatically sent (sorry developers, but that really adds up to the battery usage with multiple apps doing it)
_______________________________________________________________________
WHAT YOU SHOULD ENABLE TO KEEP YOUR PHONE SMART
(Unless you don't ever use it)​
- Enable Bluetooth (Bluetooth 4.0 consumes nearly 0 battery while not paired to a device, even paired it consumes little power with newer devices)
- Enable Mobile Data
- Enable location in high precision mode (it will activate GPS when an app needs it)
- Enable Auto- Brightness (adjust the brightness slider to 60% or less after that, the lower the better)
- Enable notification light
_______________________________________________________________________
SETTINGS AND TIPS​
- If you don't have a really strong 3g sinal switch to 2g mode
- Set the screen to go off after 30 second or 1 minute
- Use a magnetic flip cover so it automatically awakes your device and also automatically makes the screen go off when you close it
- Do not use apps known for their heavy impact on battery !VERY IMPORTANT! ( Use Chrome to access facebook, don't let your online messaging apps be always on, etc.)
- Don't use wifi with a bad signal, well, better said don't use any network with a low signal or else your battery will drain fast. Enable Air plain mode if your network signal is really low.
- Keep your internal storage with >600MB of free storage
- Use only simple methods of unlocking your phone (Don't use anything that uses location services, camera, microphone, etc.)
- Do not let apps being always on using network services like GPS (adjust the app setting so it only uses when you use the app)
- Get rid of any app you installed but don't need
_______________________________________________________________________
Tasker: Making your phone more efficient​
- Create a profile that goes on while you have AC power connected and when it goes on it enables Wi-fi and Auto-Sync, when it goes off it disables those features.
- Create another profile that repeats from the time you wake up until the average time you go to bed, and make it repeat every 2 or more hours (depends on your sync needs). What it should do is enable auto.sync, wait 3 minutes, then disable auto-sync
_______________________________________________________________________
Congratulations now you have a true smartphone with a good battery life!

I think I didn't forget about anything, but if I did I will edit this post.

Actually, disable any unused or unwanted app and install Greenify to force quit the rest of these apps you can't disable.

For Greenify to work as intended you need to have root access on your device. For those with root access Greenify can be a great way to freeze apps you really need but are programmed to be always running in the background. Without root access Greenify to work automatically consumes a lot of battery because it needs to turn on your screen while the device is asleep.
I decided to not talk about root methods to keep this guide accessible to everyone

It's not a duplicate thread. In your guide the goal is to have the best battery life possible but for that it compromises a lot of the features that makes the phone smart, it compromises convenience of use for every 0.01% of battery life possible.
I read it and it's a well written guide but with a very different goal. The goal of this guide is to have a good battery life while having most of the smart features available.

Sorry, you have too much conflicting info in this guide. Having auto brightness enabled certainly doesn't make it a smart phone and definitely not set at 60%. Suggesting having data always on isn't always a good move, especially for those with limited data.

Auto = automatically, that's a smart feature, it adjusts the brightness of the screen automatically. Nowadays, the way it is programmed makes it way more battery efficient than before. Adjusting it at a maximum of 60% is just a guideline, but 60% auto brightness is not 60% brightness., the value is just a guideline for the auto brightness algorithm.
About the data always on, having data on doesn't require that much extra power, it only drains more power IF some application requests data. While not the most efficient solution, in Android Lollipop there's no better way to keep feature like auto.sync on without having the data always on, unless you have root access. If you have root access you can set up tasker to automatically enable and disable mobile data when the phone tries to auto.sync and/or when the screen is on.
As I said previously, this is a guide for everyone, no root access required, and the goal is to have the phone with as many smart features on as possible while retaining a good enough battery life. You can have all those features on and still have a good battery life, is it worth to disable most of the features of our phones just to gain a little extra battery life? I mean, if you really want to make your phone's battery last weeks just turn it off ^^'. Now seriously, I have auto-sync for all the features I need, I have location services apps all running fine, I can pair my Bluetooth devices just by turning them on, I can simply open the gps app in my car and it will get signal without me doing anything else, I can take a picture and immediately send to someone over the internet without having to do anything else, and many many other features I have that I wouldn't if I just turned everything off to get a little extra battery. Not worth for me, I want a smartphone, I want to take it out of my pocket and having it ready to use.
Follow this guide and check the difference in battery life it makes, than tell me if it is not worth. Well, for certain profiles I can see it not being worth, I mean if you use your phone primarily for gaming or if you don't use almost any of the feature a smartphone has, I can totally see the point in having them turned off.
Edit: Forgot to talk about the limited data plans. I have a very limited data plan, 500MB per month but communication apps don't have a limit on my data plan (facebook, skype, what's app, snapshot, etc). I never used the 500MB of the mobile data, when wi fi is available I use it and only transfer large files over wifi, so as you can see even 500MB is enough to browse the web and sync my services. If you don't have a data plan or yours not enough for you then you have to choices: 1- Get a data plan suitable for your needs; 2- Disable Mobile Data. Back to the guide, there's people too with limited data plans in their home connections, using wifi, should I tell everyone to have wi fi always turned off because of those people?
If your data plan has limitations, that's something you have to take in mind but has nothing to do with the phone itself. If I have no money for a vehicle, I have to travel by foot, should I tell everyone to travel by foot? I hope you get my point and sorry for the wall of text.

I can do everything you just said on my phone. I haven't sacrificed any smart capabilities, but I also get 3 days usage from my phone In fact, with tasker, I don't have to do any switching on or off. It does it all for me. That's the point of it, and why it is such a good battery saver.

Following your guide you get: No no bluetooth, no network connection during the night, no location services, no auto-brightness, no possibility to download files over wifi while the screen is off, etc. Of course people could read it and chose only what they want, but then they wouldn't be following your guide.
What I suggest in this guide is a very different approach from yours. In this guide, the goal is to have the most features on as possible, while having a good battery life. The goal of your guide is to have the maximum battery life while the phone is on while maintaining basic functionality.
Different approach, different goal, I don't see how this can be seen as a duplicate.
Edit: Oh, and to follow your guide there's the need to have root access.

Why do you need network services when you are asleep? Bluetooth is available whenever you want, just use tasker to automate it. Similarly, use tasker to automate location services. I clearly say in the guide that if you *need* auto brightness you can adjust it to your own specification using gravitybox. Its perfectly easy to download files when the screen is off, just change the the threshold in tasker. Admittedly, I didn't mention that, but If that's the only problem, I can add that into the tutorial
You don't need root access for all of the tutorial. I have a whole section devoted to basic ROM settings, which has everything you have in your op. Plus tasker and greenify sections that don't necessarily need root for everything.
But whatever, you know best.

I don't understand what's your point. You go into another thread (this thread) and start to make comparisons between your guide and this guide. They are two different guides and in no point I refer to your guide. This is just another guide, and the goal of the guide is clearly explained in the OP. This is not a contest to see who's guide is better as far as I know.
And I'll repeat one more time, to make more advanced automation tasks using tasker (like enabling and disabling network access) you need root access, specially in Android Lollipop. You also need root access for greenify and similar apps. This guide is for everyone, no root required for anything. People see it, and follow if they like. After following they check how their phone is performing. If it's performing to their expectations great, if not they will probably check other guides until they find something they like..
About Bluetooth, I suggest you to read first on how Bluetooth 4.0 works first before arguing about it. You can start here, in the good old Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bluetooth_low_energy

I tried this guide and I can confirm that there's is a noticeable increase in battery life. My phone isn't rooted, and all my attempts to keep battery consumption as low as possible in the past resulted in having a phone by far less "smart" than it is now. Many thanks rbmaster .

I really couldn't follow that other guide there were too many applications it was too lengthy, this one really seems to the best, disabled everything I was told + going to download the app tasker.

Task Manager & Memory Apps for Marshmellow

When I updated to Marshmallow I was very disappointed to see their task/memory manager had been dumb down just to take the average memory use of apps. Instead of several versions before showing the running apps in live time.
With that now missing are there any good apps to use with or without root with a good task mananger? Preferably one without a bunch of other junk like clean master and the other apps like that. The one I've found that's the best so far is Task Manager by Hard Infinity.
Thanks in advance!

I should have added a poll from the beginning since I was looking for what most people were using and some possible suggestions. So I have added a poll in hopes to get some responses. Everyone of us has the occasion when an app goes rogue screwing things up, or sucks battery juice to no end, or just freezes up, so it just needs to be shut down. I would love to hear what everyone is using.
NOTICE: I do not condone killing tasks/processes just simply to 'free up' memory. That is the Android System's job, let it do its job.

Check out developer options then Running Services (6th from the top) to see actual live memory usage instead of the averages.
I personally have enjoyed a 'clear all' option in App switching mode from my days of my S4. I use gravity box now and integrated it in my navigation bar to clear and also indicate how much ram is free.
Lastly if you're having issues with any apps stuttering it can help to experiment with background process limit also in developer options, I believe it resets that setting after a restart though.
Hope that helps.

Didn't know about the dev options. The default task manager is really disappointing, couldn't figure out why my RAM was always at 80%. I figure that's no issue, but I like to be aware. Really miss the battery life in my Xperia Z3 and was hoping this would compare with the large battery and doze, but couldn't find the background processes that could be possibly draining my battery.

OnePlus 3T Optimization

I'm posting this based on a number of requests from other users; regarding optimization of the OnePlus 3T. In general I feel like this phone is already very good. Has great performance and a solid battery. The one issue I suffered was the "Mobile Radio Active" bug. I will explain more about it in this guide.
NOTE - This guide isn't finished yet. I'll try my best to get to it when I get a chance, but for the time being I will share with you all what I have documented so far. Some of my content was referenced from other online sources, so I want to be sure that I state that.
If you have any questions, suggestion, or are interested in adding to this, please let me know.
Before we begin, I’ll start out by listing my configured device. My configuration may be different than yours due to the rom. If you use a custom rom, you need to be careful with some of the options.
That being said…
I am using the 64Gb OnePlus 3T. My bootloader is unlocked, my device is rooted using SuperSU v 2.79 and I use the custom recovery “TWRP 3.0.4-1”
The applications I use:

Some of these are personal preference so you don’t need them if you don’t want to.
NOTE – Also, I am on Stock OOS 3.5.4. The reason for this is because I was experiencing battery drain due to a bug known as “Mobile Radio Active”. This is a bug that affects users even with the new OS, and unfortunately I don’t think it has been fixed even with Nougats new doze feature. Basically even though doze is enable, your radio still draws battery in the background even though it’s not in use. Xposed has a plugin to fix this issue; however since Xposed isn’t available for Nougat this is why I am still on Marshmallow.
You can read more about the bug here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/xposed-mobileradioactivefix-t3189393
And the fix is here:
http://repo.xposed.info/module/com.pyler.mobileradioactivefix
This is a fairly in-depth tut, so I’ll try to go through this as quickly and painlessly as I can. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

Power Nap for Xposed is the SONY's stamina mod for non-Sony devices. When your screen is off, Power Nap maximizes your device's deep sleep time by stopping services, alarms and wakelocks from waking the device when the screen is off. You can get notification from the apps you've whitelisted.
Set the Endurance Mode to Always ON.
You can use Power Nap along with Greenify and Amplify for a better sleep time. You have to whitelist both Greenify and Amplifyfor proper working of both the modules.
If you use IMs and need Push Notifications,you have to whitelist those apps along with Greenify and Amplify.
See My list Of whitelisted apps.(Varies according to users):
• AndroidSystem
• Greenify
• Amplify
• Xposed
• Clock
• ForceDoze
• LeanDroid
• L-Speed
• Powernap
• Naptime

Greenify and L-Speed in 2K17. haHAA

Ignore the idiot above i have proven greenify makes a difference because doze on the go is a thing. Why are you using 3 doze apps that essentially do the same thing, just use one.
Also get rid of L-speed its a pile of crap flash franco kernal and use the battery profile or flash elemental x and use AKT.
Regarding that bug can't you just disable synch on everything that's what i did on everything except gmail and calander and i have no issue

@EuEra
Yeah regarding the doze, I was trying to figure out which one worked best for me. I'm still trying to figure out which one does the best job.
Which doze app do you recommend? Also thanks for your suggestion of the kernel. I can give them a try and see which one suits me. Do you have a preference between the 2 you mentioned?
One of the doze apps that I use actually does a good job of stopping all sync's like you mentioned, but I have to look back at it and try to figure out which option would work best for me. I appreciate the input though. As I mentioned if I get some more time I'll try to investigate this a little further and update it.
Also, are you running Marshmallow or Nougat? If nougat, which firmware are you on?
@xpissio - Lspeed might be unneeded, but you don't have to come off negative. You laugh about it, and maybe it's unnecessary for the OP3T, but I will tell you when I had the S7 it was a VERY much needed app due to the lag of Touchwiz and Samsungs overbloated crap on the device. In that regard, I do find the application useful, and maybe some other will too.
As for Greenify, I do believe that's a solid app and it DOES indeed help all phones regardless of how good your battery and performance is.

Personally i prefer elemental x with the AKT tweaks you get a lot of control over what specifically you want for example i use the extreme battery saving profile (there are about 6 different profiles each for performance, balanced and battery) just search oneplus 3 akt in google. A lot of people love franco kernal as well it has 1 profile for each he has an app to go with it a free one and a paid one with more features.
I only use naptime, i am on the latest nougat 7.1.1 OOS 4.1.1 obviously i don't have exposed or i would use power nap as well. I think it's worth backing up and trying the latest OOS unless you really need xposed or something.
What battery time are you getting? On average i get 2.5-3 days with 6-8 hours screen time.

I get what you're getting now in terms of battery life, but when I went to nougat, I was lucky to get a day out of my battery. I don't even use it that often. I mean I use facebook once or twice a day for maybe 15 mins, I don't play games, I use hangouts as my messenger, but most of the time I message from my computer as it is. Honestly I was shocked when I barely had a day out of the phone because when I went to the battery stats it only had about6 apps listed there and they were all system apps. Then when I went to "Cell Standby" option I could see the Mobile Radio active was consuming the 2nd most amount of battery despite screen being off and device being idle.
Anyway, thanks for your input. I went ahead and tried the franco kernel atm on my current MM rom, but I will consider giving Nougat another shot. Thanks for your feedback!

OnePlus 3T with Resurrection Remix Nougat (Official)
Normal use: 1,5-2 days (Selected sync on, dual-sim, Data always on, Auto-brightness) - Phone calls, Messaging, Messanger, bit of Facebook and Insta or YouTube.
SOT ~ 7-9hrs (best results were about <11hrs, but in my opinion it's not something that you can get while normally using your phone).
My suggestions:
- turn off selected syncs, that you don't necessary need (in my case Google Docs, Photos etc.)
- Ambient Display
- Low on gestures
- Dark themes in custom roms or Dark Mode in OOS
- Animations in 0.5x or nothing
- Don't kill apps in recents, let it work by itself
- Turn off auto update apps or notify about updates
- Low on widgets
- Turn off background data in Facebook/Instagram and all unnecessary apps
- Turn off vibrations, if it's not that important to you
- Get rid of Google App and Google Now if you're not using it
- Block location authorizations as often as you can
- Use dark wallpapers

Dzieki Potr!

Jesus, 9 Apps, Xposed, And a page long list of blocking stuff? And in the end you randomly stop getting notifications (my experience with greenify)?
On my Note 4 i did similar things to get through the day (2 hours SoT) but the 3T is really great in that regarde.
I'm on stock OB4, Franco Kernel without battery tweaks. No aggressive doze, or any battery saving options and i get over 3 days of standby with 6 hours SoT. This includes BT Streaming which drains without the screen being on.
I really see no need for any restrictions on this phone. Except when you install Facebook. Which you should never do. It's a well known fact that facebook drains your battery like crazy. Even if you never actively open it throughout the day.

about L Speed: It depends on the phone and on the usage. On my Galaxy S5 and My Oneplus X I can get like 30% more SOT with a little bit more performance. My 3T I can user three days and I have a 6h SOT. With L-Speed 6.5 - 7h. But it doesn't make the screen on time better for me, rather the screen off. I have with L-Speed 0.2% battery drain in a hour with the screen off, compared to 0.7-0.9% without.
My advice: Try it out and give the amazing dev a feedback. He's very friendly and he helps if you have a bad result.
If you have lower performance or more battery drain with L-Speed and you don't wanna give feedback, just uninstall it and reboot -> all changes are back to stock

Thanks all! The feedback is all good. The problem with phones is everyones experience is going to be a little different. I agree facebook/messenger drains battery, but there are other apps as well that do the same... playstore, google now, etc... I like googlenow because of the updates I get for weather, sports things like that. However it does use up battery and resources in the background even when it's not in use. Facebook; same thing. I like staying in touch with friends and family. If there was a less resource hog version of these apps I'd definitely consider without it limiting my options. The utilities I posted are just some of my preferences, but I'm always open to hear suggestions and others' recommendations.
I agree with the battery life, in general I'd say it's very good, but from my experiences in the past I just had bad luck I suppose with the "mobile radio active" bug; as I have explained above. It's really a hit or miss sort of thing. I've done clean installs, full wipes, etc and it seems to still be hit or miss for me. At first I had several days and then after about a week or 2, I noticed the battery life dropped significantly. That's when I used these utilities to help out with the life of the battery and for me it made a difference.
I actually REALLY like nougat, but I also use a few plugins I really like that require Xposed framework, which obviously isn't supported in nougat yet. I've been busier than normal last several weeks, but if I get a chance to backup everything I might consider doing another clean install of nougat and see how things go.

these features can also be found in the custom roms anyway

1st of all thank you for the post and for other people who replied , I think ( hope ! ) That I learned something , and I'll try to implement it.
2nd as you said for Facebook alternative I can recommend "Friendly" or the other option is "Simple" it's a framework app for the Facebook web , try I think you will get it useful and battery friendly

Never liked the Facebook app for Android and never understood the need to make two separate apps. The need for the app then the messenger is totally useless. There are tons of Facebook alternatives, but why download those alternatives when you can view Facebook through mobile browser. You would think that with the billions Facebook makes they'd have a better R&D team working on a better Facebook app without 50 permissions and battery hog.

Why even bother for any apps when you can get notifications of Facebook on chrome

Ho to get your battery life back.

Dear OP2 friends,
HUGE DISCLAIMER:
Below setup works for MY use and needs. If you are like me it will work for you too, if not go find information somewhere else and don't complain "I cannot get the same results" or things like that. It takes common sense and experience to achieve and understand below info. If you don't have common sense, I pity you, if you don't have experience it's OK. If you are polite and follow the XDA rules I don't mind answering your well structured questions, and maybe others don't mind too, there are a lot more experienced people on XDA than me.
If your question is related to any of the apps/threads mentioned below, please go to that (app) thread, that's why I have put the info right there, one click away.
battery life is something we all want to be endless, well we can't have that, but at least we can improve it from a certain point.
This is what I have been doing for the past weeks and the results are incredible, that's why I decided to share them.
First of all sharing this information is ambiguous because it's somewhat device and user dependent especially how people use it and what apps are installed.
I know that but I believe with the right approach you can get the same results as me, hopefully even better, on the OP2 and possibly other device as well.
I have 148 apps installed at the moment and sometimes even more than 200. If you control your apps properly there is no limit to the amount of apps installed related to battery life.
There are numerous threads on improving battery life out there already so please check out those threads first.
Extreme battery threads:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/general/guide-0-0-hour-idle-battery-drain-stock-t2973588
You can also post your BBS logs there, please don't do that in this thread as I will not investigate them.
Most useful info is already out there so I would appreciate it to go look there first before cluttering this thread. If not I will close this thread.
Let's get started:
improving battery life on Android is (unfortunately) always a combination of things, there is no 1-push button (yet).
In this case I use the following:
- privacy guard (baked in almost any Nougat ROM)
- custom kernel (I use Boeffla: original thread here, I use the Linaro version from ZaneZam)
- Greenify (original thread here)
- Wakelock blocker (built in ROM) + WakeBlock app (optional, original thread here)
- Alarm Blocker (built in ROM)
- Doze apps
- BetterBatteryStats (for finding your excessive wakelocks, thread here)
Obviously you have to be rooted to implement all of this.
The ROM of my choice is RR unofficial.
I like it because of the functionality and features but I believe any ROM with the above features should be able to achieve the same results.
Speaking of results, below screenshots are from my last cycle before writing this thread. One charge got me almost through 3 full days (66 hours).
I fully charged in the afternoon, got through the evening and the first night, then got through the full second day and night, then got through another full day and night and charged only again in the next morning.
If your still following, those are 66 hours of straight juice...
EXPLANATION: There is ALWAYS a tradeoff between SOT (screen on time) and how long your battery will last in one cycle. On my below cycle you can see that I have "only" 4 hours of SOT but almost 3 days of battery life. That is light usage.
If I would use my phone more (more SOT) the battery life cycle would have been significantly shorter. If you complain to me that you "only" have 24hrs of battery life but you show me a SOT of 7-8 hours, I would consider that great battery life! It's all relative...
I have never used one battery cycle from 100% to 0% in one go so I don't know the max SOT I would get with my setup. I would guess around 6.5-9 hours depending on the activity (gaming <=> ebook reading, mobile data <=> wifi, ...). It's all relative...
The screenshots in the bottom of the post might bring clarity for you.
See the following posts for more explanation.
Thanks to:
@nicesoni_ash
@Lord Boeffla
@ZaneZam
@oasisfeng @GioBozza @chamonix
@ssrij @The Peterle

Privacy Guard:
*setting things up wrong without thinking straight can delay notifications or not execute certain tasks*
I enable this for all user apps because I don't want any app keeping the system awake. I even have this enabled for some system apps like:
Calendar storage
Google play services
Google play store
Google app
cLock
I mostly disable all locations (if it's not a location dependent app), keep awake, run in background and even start at boot (if the app doesn't need to start on boot) toggles.
Again, use your common sense to figure out if a app needs to run on boot (for example, youtube doesn't need to run on boot, tasker does for starting up along with the system boot).
obviously some system apps need to run in the background for example cLock or calendar storage otherwise your weather and calendar will not update...
You can also configure all the apps on a gradual basis. You let the privacy guard as is on clean install an if you see excessive wakelocks from a certain app, you start blocking it one by one.

Custom kernel:
I use Boeffla config app with always the latest version of his kernel compiled by ZaneZam (Linaro 6 version).
The latest as of the time writing this thread is LOS14.1-beta14 in combination with config app 2.4.34.
I use profile IMPULSE TUNED V3.0, no lags, good performance and crazy battery life.
Screenshots of my minor changes, the rest is identical to the stock IMPULSE TUNED V3.0 profile.

Greenify:
*setting things up wrong without thinking straight can delay notifications or not execute certain tasks*
I Greenify a lot of apps, as much as I can basically, even system apps.
I cannot give too much advice on this part so please go to the Greenify thread to ask related questions. For me it's mostly a hit and miss and right now my config is a big hit.
If you want to know if you can Greenify a particular app you can ask me.
Configuration below in screenshots.

Wakelock Blocker (+ WakeBlock app):
*setting things up wrong without thinking straight can delay notifications or not execute certain tasks*
I personally think this feature is essential in getting good battery life so I'm glad it's integrated in the ROM of my choice (since we don't have xposed yet).
In combination with the WakeBlock app it basically works like Amplify on Xposed, but ROM integrated.
This part is the hardest to explain because it's different for most users. On the screenshots below you can find most of my blocked wakelocks (without losing functionality).
The procedure to block wakelocks is the same as all the other parts explained above and below:
Let your system run for some hours/days (essential!).
After that, trough BBS you can find your excessive wakelocks and through wakelock blocker you can block them completely. If you don't want to completely block the wakelocks you can use the WakeBlock app to put a timer like in Amplify for Xposed, for example I want wakelock x to run every 9999 milliseconds....

Alarm blocker:
*setting things up wrong without thinking straight can delay notifications or not execute certain tasks*
Another essential feature for keeping your device under control.
I block a lot of alarms (without losing functionality) so get ready...

Doze apps:
I use Force Doze from the Playstore to put my device in Doze mode as soon as the screen goes off.
Naptime is an alternative but I find it to generate too many wakelocks (sometimes up to 19 per hour).
I might change this app once in a while if there are better alternatives that come up.
Anyway Force Doze will work for now.

reserved. will add some advices.

Lesser wakelocks means not necessarily lesser drain, good example is definitely the very first lines from this Thread of an old friend from galaxy s3 lte times, he implemented microG on his device and achieved lesser wakelocks but no significant impact on his battery life(see here), what I want to point out is that this equation (more wakelocks - more battery drain) isn't so simple unfortunately, even if true for most of the time, regarding to franco's naptime, I personally made very good experience with this app in combination with his custom kernel, I think especially in this combination it's absolutely recommended..
Furthermore some inspiration about battery life a wonderful guide with plenty of useful information, the absolute majority is generally valid, so don't get confused by the i9305 tag...

Good point Sam, that's why I always say check BBS first if it's actually a wakelock, then treat it properly (disable or time-lapse it).

Overnight drain

does blocking the *alarm* wakelock cause the system to reboot!?
