I am reluctant to switch over because I can't leave xposed. Is nougat faster or better than marshmallow by a significant margin?
Thanks for the input.
No
No it's actually worse especially battery life
Yes
For me N is better than MM, more fluid and battery is amazing.
So, here's the deal with the update. It's good, and offers much more enhancements than I thought. Notice I used the word "enhancements." The features are essentially the same in Nougat, but nearly everything works better (e.g. super quick unlock (fingerprint or not), ), no more annoying volume warning (finally!), ultra power saving mode has more compatibility and color, multitasking, notifications, camera smoothness, edge features, android stability). Initially, I was quite mad at Samsung for enforcing a change from QHD to FHD resolution, but it appears that the performance enhancements are worth it. It makes up for the Snapdragons lackluster performance on this device. I believe battery-life is slightly worse so far, but it might be because I'm using my device more. Is it faster? Yes, but a reboot is needed more often than before as well. Marshmallow felt slightly more smooth than this though. Still, the coolest thing about this update is it makes you feel like you got a new device for the few minutes.
People edge is ugly on nougat...
Really worse than mm
I'm loving it. Fast, better interface, better notifications, battery life seems better (Exynos)...the only thing I notice is that memory management seems more aggressive. I wouldn't change back. Not rooted, not using Xposed (if I was, then Nougat would not make sense yet)
Loving it so far, battery life has been better than ever before for me, love the interface the new performance mode selections, the power saving and especially changing the resolution it's great.
I like Nougat more then MM, but battery life on Nougat is worse for me then on MM....
i do not know battery life in mm. but battery life in nougat is pretty good.
Love N over MM. Battery life is better for me. Also ui is much nicer.

... which apparently was one of the main 'selling points'.
Go figure.
I am in no rush to change from MM. 8 hour SOT average and I don't want to mess that up!!
The thing i love the most is the new UI.. And offcourse the batterylife is way better then mm

I don't like the light scheme. Possibly a contributor to reduced battery life. A dark scheme will help further.

After updating to 2.1, almost everything is fine including general speed, screen responsiveness etc. But the battery life seemed not to be improved in comparison to 1.6. So I am thinking of rooting the phone. Can someone tell me if rooting truly impacts the battery life positively? Thanks.
Just rooting the phone in general wont increase any battery life....but its what your gonna do afterwards that can. I myself rooted my phone and removed ALOT of apps preinstalled eg:timescape, face recognition and a whole bunch of others and have noticed a HUGE impact in overall speed performance....I mean you wouldn't believe how much difference after removing everything. So, I have yet to see my battery life after doing this since it was just last night I did a bunch of stuff to my phone. But, I would assume Ill get better battery life with like practically nothing running in my background.

hello,
i've seen this video about comparison of battery life test between KK and LP for the lg G2,
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KV_3XWEzfic
as i saw, there is a big difference between KK & LP, is that really true ? because as i've seen on some articles, people complaint about battery life drain on LP
so what's your result after using LP on G2, does the battery drain faster ? or it really long lasts as the video shown ?!

My dude, that hype about lollipop having bad battery life is true, but partially. The thing is, I call them "stupid" users who update their android without wiping and then have problems and complain, shout and all the stuff blaming LG for that. You will get the same battery life you get with kitkat IF you clean flash! Factory reset/wipe and then flash it for fresh start and the battery life will be as good, if not better, because I think lollipop manages GPU better so when watching youtube, you get even less battery drain compared to kitkat. I'm not sure tho, but you can not be worried about the battery life on lollipop!
There was definitely a big battery life drop between stock KK and stock/AOSP LP.
I installed and paid for the full version of servicely - which displays which apps are waking up your wakelock and lets you disable them when the display is off.
I want to hear the experiences you guys have with emui vs cm13.
At some points i always wonder if i should flash back to emui because of a few bugs and problems so i wanna hear a few experiences to see what you guys think about it.
- generally speaking i would love to hear what you like in comparision to the other
- how's your battery life, usage experience, how you think about the current bugs, etc.
- are you thinking to change rom to emui or to cm13 and why?
cm gives a more stock experience compared to emui, better battery life. unless youre going to update to emui 5, cm is better

With papsi ROM everything is fine by battery life is miserable with an outdoor brightness and mobile data on (only few hours).
Speedo; very descent battery life , zooming is fine but video recording is not, still buggy and finger print not working
Till now I think the best available firmware is stock but if speedo_thc managed to get his ROM as functioning as papsi's he will be the best daily driver for me.

papsi's isn't that bad on battery life for me. i get two days usage with constant bt connections and a few messengers push. you will have monitor wakelocks and stuff to optimize as much as possible though.
i am using
- amplify (no donate)
- greenify with xposed + root
but have 3 messengers, email and android wear on push at all times.
Cm notifications fixed emui not
cm's will always break after few months of heavy using, stock wont. sure cm has more customizeable tweaks and in some cases better battery life (never in my cases). evey device i have tried cm it always starts randomly rebooting, lagging and eats battery like hell(hahe had this issue with multiple devices). i prefer stock base and then rethemed to whatever you choose.
Currently, no custom rom is stable enough for daily use. I still love the EMUI camera and the finger print gestures. I will stick with EMUI 4 for now hopefully until custom roms are more stable and fully functional.
I've used papsi's rom for a few weeks as a daily. So far the only downside to me, is the battery life compared to stock emui.
Papsi's cm13 is better than stock EMUI on almost every points except the battery. I'm using his rom since he published it and it's pretty stable but the battery life can be a deal breaker. Some optimization would make the rom great for daily usage.

I agree with you, i would use his rom but the problems with the camera and battery life and the phone getting too hot when playing games or watching videos is what keeps me on EMUI since i never had issues with notifications.
From the official Chinese forum, I found this announcement and this one. More features have been built-in the OS with the AI capability. They are good for phone signal enhancement, momery optimization, performance and such. You can transfer to your language to read them...

Ｉ understand that you don't have the patience to wait to see EMUI 5's battery performance, but it has been pretty impressive to me in terms of learning my usage habit and optimize the battery life to me

LOL! I have been using 5.0 since more than a month now and no "optimisation" has made the battery last as long as on 4.0. Tried controlling wakelocks, alarms etc but all the same.

If it works for you, it doesn't mean I'm impatient to see what's happening. I just gave my point of view and my experience with this phone. I guess that's why we're all here for. But not to judge anyone. Just think twice before you type something about someone. Keep it cool

Sorry, I was not intentional to say that but hoping you got the EMUI 5 sooner than later in the old days. Then when you got it, I saw you switched back to EMUI 4.1 the same day you got EMUI 5. In my case, it took about a week for the phone to learn my use pattern and reduce the battery drain to almost 0% during afternoons and nights when I was not using it intensively. Yeah, keep an eye on the other aspects of features you want from the EMUI system. Have a good day!

A couple of things you may be able to try is to turn off the body sensor permission to Google and to use cellphone network and wifi network to locate your position instead of using GPS signal. The optimization by EMUI really depends on your use pattern in my opinion. If you will need to use the phone a lot, it won't optimize your battery performance noticeably. If you read more on other brand forums where pure Android 7 has been used, you may find people complain about the battery life a lot compared to the Android 6 version. This is just how Android 7 costs.
First of all i never went back to emui 4.1 the same day i got update. Secondly, i never got the emui 5 sooner that everyone else. I just used firmware finder to get my emui 5 update. Thirdly, there was something wrong with the battery so i got a replacement of that phone. Here in emui 5 apps don't go to sleep at screen off they keep waking up. I was talking about battery management to manage some apps aggressively which wake up too much background tasks even when not in use.
So that's the battery management i was talking about Hope you get it.

Have you tried to check the setting options for turning apps off while in sleep mode? I am not sure what the problem is in your case. I don't have many apps waking my phone up on EMUI 5 after some tedious re-enforced training with the phone on what to do using the phone manager app. Maybe you have to turn them off manually if you don't need them initially; otherwise, the phone would think you are ok to let them on. This approach should work for general machine learning algorithms if I am correct. Good luck on that anyways. I am looking forward to seeing more AI features to come as demonstrated in the Magic UI.
As the title says , What rom are you using as your daily driver and why?
I'm with Extended UI since 3 days and its really really good. It's really smooth, i dont have seen any bug, battery life its far better than Miui and its little battery drain.
Ah yes, i cant use fingerprint, dont know why.... I can configure but not unlock...

Extended ui has been really good compared to Stock and EU Miui; battery drain is a lot slower for sure.

Seriously? Either the way reduced battery drain was achieved is impressive or MIUI is not good at managing that even though it kills apps in background according to users... Or both

Here's my daily usage when switching to Extended UI Rom (11 hours and 1 minute on 8% at the present moment)
I just think EU Rom and stock Rom is not optimized right, even without all the bloatware.
I own a Mi Max 3 and the battery drain also happens when switching to Android 10 Stock Miui and EU Rom also so... even though the battery is larger, the drain is more noticable.. even comparing to the 11.18 Xiaomi EU Pie + Ressurected kernel and other custom roms.... So the battery drain problem is not a just a Mi 9T/K20 problem.

I lost 1% (sometime 2%) per hour, compare to Miui it was 2%/30mn...
In usage its the same
Interesting feedbacks. I hope other users would share their experience.
ExtendedUI. It's super stable and quick. Fingerprint reader works well for me on it.
The default one.. I don't feel like flashing and all that Jazz. The stock rom works pretty well, so I may as well leave it alone.
xiaomi.eu - because I like MIUI, but I don't like some of the limitations in the global version
