At first I will say that at first I wanted to do a quick reply, but as the ideas came to my mind i started thinking about full topic xD
The topic was created to give devs ideas for some smaller tweaks/upgrades/features. I made this topic after I saw that the topic where dev asked what do you want for new rom, peoples only idea was "MIUI". I was little bit disappointed by that.
As I have many ideas I will sort them in groups.
General use tweaks and functions:
- A player in lock screen (only visible when playing music)
- Changing songs by long press volume button (Old SE function implemented in very old phones ages ago)
- Auto air plane mode on selected by user hours (I mean turning off gsm/3g at night)
- Turning the led for buttons in pre-defined light conditions. (For example: in direct sunlight the buttons are very visible and i don't think that anyone has got problem in finding them. They are wasting battery at that time and no one can even see them. But at night it might be helpful for some users)
- Motion-blured launcher (and if it is possible - other apps also)
- Any wifi signal tweak is great also
- I use default x10 launcher because I love the music widget and timescape. Rest is only a bonus. I really don't like that we don't have feature that our x8 friends has got by default - up/down gesture that enables app drawer and goes back.
- Equalizer in default music app
- Faster wifi connecting (huh I know that we have a really bad wifi controller but any tweak here would be great)
- Using some other keyboard than default one
- Already updated versions of programs on roms (like latests maps instead of older ones - I know that you want to make your roms ultra light weight but it would save some time for users, and we really don't look so much if the file size of our room is 3 or 4 mb bigger)(of course you should make rom as lightweight as possible )
- Panorama app by default would be ok
- AdBlock (these is also a battery tweak - reduces the number of connections)
- By default power save widget doesn't work, why is it still implemented?
- Making more free ram by disabling setup wizard service (does anyone need it??)
- XDA app should be in ROM by default (with option to remove it of course)
- Increased call volume
- Some audio quality enchantments using headphones
Picture/camera/video related things:
- Improving bitrate/fps of videos and improving pics (but that isn't anything genius I think)
- 16mln colors (but that is also obvious)
- Control of exposure time and ISO [would be soo really great that i would start thinking about donation]
- Something that would look good and be same useful as androids gallery, but would provide normal zoom (I mean full resolution zoom)
- Making photo app start faster
- Auto flash in poor light
- A flash instead of non stop shining (it is also great battery tweak)
- Making RAW (Dreams xD)
- Option to adjust and/or turn off default denoise/sharpen algorithm (sometimes I hate the edges wrrr)
Battery saving:
- As I wrote - turning network at night
- Improving bravia engine to do more - in tv's the back-light is adjusted to the picture it is viewing. If the image that is on our phone is pure black the phone would reduce backlight to minimum. If half of the screen would be gray and the other half also the backlight would be also reduced to minimum but the gray pixels would be shown in the hardware as pure white. For us we would have more battery juice, better blacks and there wouldn't be anything missing from image. It there would be elements that would need 100% white the screen backlight would be also set to 100%. I don't know how hard it is to implement, it could need bootloader unlock but it would be a milestone for our x10, not a simple tweak
- Calibration notification - once 2 months or some pre-defined amount of charging cycles
- Some app that would automatically adjust voltages. It would check every freq with some voltage. If it didn't have restarted it continues making the voltage lower if not it would use higher V
- Enabling lower freq than 128mhz (but not like doomlord's that the voltage was 1000mv and you couldn't change that [Of course it is very good that he proved that it is possible])
- A flash instead of non stop shining (it is also great camera tweak)
- If 3g is enabled in settings, the phone would turn it off if the screen is also off (we don't need 3g when we don't use the phone so lets use edge to save battery and still be able to answer the phone)
- Make media server as individual zip. It uses power (I always have in battery usage that it "ate" about 2% to 5% of battery. Not everybody use it so it might be helpful)
- Adblock - Reduces number of connections (these is also general tweak)
Appearance:
- Making puzzle lock default lock screen
- Making gray battery circle default
- Making colorful/green icons
- Transparent bar of launcher
- Wallpapers specially for our x10 (in few weeks I'll start doing some)
- Replacing the clock on lock screen
- weather on lock screen
Note that Appearance is my own opinion and some people might not like it
I'm not posting some obvious things like bootloader/better multitouch. Every dev knows the basic things to do.
Ok, I think thats enough for now. If you have ANY ideas for our x10 please comment below so I can add them to our list
I know that some of ideas are already implemented in some roms. But they are extremely rare.
If some devs would like to talk about some ideas, they can do that here also.

Yeah, I know that, they don't have to do all of these, they will have ability to choose what is easiest for them.
Whats that i hear you say?
XDA has a search function?
an you found what thread?
THIS one?
Wow thats awesome
Hey guys,
Now that most of you guys have probably flashed-up Lollipop on your Moto G (2nd Gen)s, I have taken the liberty to put together a guide to increase your Battery Life and Performance of your Devices.
As of now, this guide is NON-ROOT based. (Rooting is still unstable, Bootloops : Yuck!). And, I'm a big fan of the KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid) concept so thats how this is gonna go:
BASICS:
1. Use the Toggles!
Now that Lollipop has provided even easier access to a wide variety of Toggles, its only fair that we use them. So toggle off whenever you're not using WiFi, Bluetooth, Location etc..
Swipe Down with 2 fingers and see for yourself!
2. Mobile Data
Again.. Use the toggle in the Notification Centre to toggle on and toggle off when not in use.
Use 2G instead of 3G if you're only IM-ing (WhatsApp,Hike,Hangouts etc..). To switch the Cellular Data type, Tap and hold the Data toggle in NC to open the Cellular Network page, on the top right corner, tap the 3 dots and select Mobile Networks. Here use the Preferred Network Type to switch between 3G and 2G.
3. Battery Saver
Believe it or not, Battery Saver is not just a name-sake feature anymore like in KitKat, It actually works this time in Lollipop. Keep the Auto-Enable for Battery Saver ON at 15%.
You can access the Battery Saver by using the 2 finger swipe down from top, tap and hold the Battery Percent in the NC to open the Battery Settings page. Now tap the 3 dots and select Battery Saver.
When going on a trip or drive, turn on the Battery Saver while Driving (Unless you're expecting some notifications) and disable them when you reach your destination. Its so easy to disable as it displays a persistant notification in the NC and the Lockscreen when it is active. Just swipe down on the Notification and tap on Turn Off Battery Saver to disable it.
4. Use WiFi whenever possible
Wifi uses less battery power than 3G.
A power consumption chart in Decreasing order of Battery Consumption is:
3G>2G>Wifi
So choose wisely.
5. Auto-Brightness - DO NOT USE!!
Screen brightness is always one of the biggest battery drains on your device. And although auto brightness sounds like a saviour, IT IS NOT! It uses more processing power to keep track of the ambient lighting to auto adjust the brightness which defeats the overall purpose.
6. Disabling Apps
Apps can run in the background without you even knowing, hogging up memory and battery. Disabling the ones you dont need can help big time.
Go to Settings> Apps and slide all the way to the left to the All category, select the unwanted app and hit Disable. You can re-enable these apps anytime also. My suggestions would be to disable the Moto apps - Assist, Migrate, and Help, and also any of the Google apps you dont use such as Magazines, Newsstand, Movies, etc.
PRO-TIP: If you're willing to endure the 10 minute boot after rooting for once, then root your device using the latest SuperSU, Install any Root App Uninstaller and Uninstall the Un-Neccesary apps. You can then do a Full UnRoot from the SuperSU app and reboot. Voila.. Back to Normal and no more unnecessary app (I dont like to call Moto Apps as BloatWare cause these apps actually provide some usable functionality!)
7. Customizing with Efficiency in Mind
Use launchers like Google Launcher, Nova, Apex and GEL. These launchers are light weight and do not use much processing power.
Heavier launchers such as Go Launcher, Themer, Next Launcher 3D use a lot more RAM and can slow down your phone + drain battery.
8. Google Now
Nothing much to say here... If you dont use it, TURN IT OFF!!
9. Google Sync
Check your sync settings to make sure you're not syncing stuff you dont need. Go to settings>Accounts and tap Google, then tap your account name. Uncheck any of the services you dont use, for example Books, or Photos, or Google+. Do the same for anything else in you Accounts section.
10. Location
Again, turn On when in use and turn Off when not in Use. Use the toggle in NC!! Go to Settings>Location>Mode and make sure its on Battery Saving if you're insistent on keeping it ON.
Turn off Location Reporting in Facebook AND Facebook Messenger. In fact if you don't absolutely need it, delete the Facebook Messenger app altogether. The Facebook app will still give you your message notifications just fine without it.
11. RAM cleaner/ Booster Apps
These DO NOT WORK! They clean the RAM and drink it up again. And if they have those floating buttons, they are Worse!!
So thats most of it.. I'll keep updating this post with ROOT-based tips once a Stable Root is available for Lollipop.
Shoot back with comments and suggestions (and Criticism as well!)
Cheers

I was going to add that but then held back as the true potential of greenify could be better achieved with root. I'll surely add this when I update this guide with Root based methods.
Bro are you using titan rom(5.0.2) or are you on 5.0.1
Also the reason I'm on kitkat is xposed
and lastly can you change the dpi manually(I'm loving 240) and reduce the minimum brightness to 1 instead of 10(I read manga before I go to sleep)
Edit: happy new year bro

I checked out the Titan Prime 1.2 but now am on 5.0.1. I'm waiting for a more stable and feature rich version of the Titan Prime.
Motorolla says 3g consumes less power you say 3g consumes more power, who is right?
By the way thank you, this point was also in my mind regarding auto brightness I was already against the point of auto brightness, because I really don't like high brightness so I've set it on a constant percentage.

Like he said 3g>2g>wifi do your test charge your phone to 100% and use 3g see how much screen on time you get to 98% then do it with wifi :thumbup:
Sent from my XT1063 using XDA Free mobile app
Just my 2 cents : Google Now Launcher drains a lot of battery irrespective of the fact Google Now is installed/disabled
This is for CM 11S 4.4.4 Kitkat version - no need to do this on COS 13.1 6.0.1...
Short story on why I need it:
Coming from the SGS4, I got used to my habits and the functionality of the led notification that is being able to continue pulsating, even if my screen was on or I was using my phone.
The necessity derives from the fact I sometimes use my phone in silent mode and while messaging in one app, I receive notifications in another. Without pulsating led notification, I would need to finish w/e I was doing and see the notification above the app icon that received notification. Also cause I have set personalized led colors based on my contacts too, aside per app so it's rather useful to know the person A sent me whatsapp message and not person B etc...
Other times, I would just need it so it stays there for, let's say 5 minutes. Other times, I was simply asking - WTH, if it can work for the battery (without pulsating when charging), why it can not work for whatever app I need it to work?
Seen the One+1 std. functionality is not doing that, aside battery charging, but with fixed light... I searched a bit and found a workaround. Maybe there is a small tiny bit of impact on the the battery, but I could care less.
Disclaimer:
I can not be held responsible in any way for your actions in setting your phone. If you chose to follow this guide, it's your responsibility of what you're doing and of what might happen to your phone.
Requisites:
So to make the notification led working even your screen is lit, and so to continue pulsating when you turn on your screen (within the set timespan) you will need:
1. A rooted One+1 phone
2. CM11S 4.4.4 ANdroid version - xposed is working as it should, is stable and without glitches.
3. xPosed framework - lastest official and stable version (for the moment, consider KK stable ver.) - Be sure to make a system wide nandroid backup before installing xPosed framework.
4. XLED module - download from the modules repository inside xPosed app.
5. Lightflow (maybe other similar apps can fit all the the same, but I use Lightflow) - download from the Play Store, Pro version can set vast majority of apps that has and supports notifications.
Howto:
Assuming you know how to root your phone and what xPosed is and how to manage it (if not, do read some in the dedicated sections or use google)...
1. Install the xLed module, activate it in the xPosed Install app and reboot your phone.
2. Install Lightflow, open it and go to Device Settings and Root, set it up to work in the root mode only, no other settings are needed. Set your per app or per contact notifications as you're pleased.
3. Open the XLED app, check Enable XLED and Screen on LED and close it.
4. Go to your phone settings and turn off battery notification light, turn off custom values under Notification light while leaving the checkmark on Notification light option.
5. Test your notification pulsating from Lightflow app or wait to receive some notification or put your phone on the charger.
Enjoy. :victory:
Note:
I have not touched any other XLED options or set other functionality but what I already wrote, seen how both Lightflow and XLED have some similarities in what they do - I don't want them conflicting by setting the same stuff twice. You are free to try this all out even without Lightflow by setting the XLED only, but my goal was to make custom Lighflow notifications to stick while the screen is lit as I use Lightflow. I achived that and that's how far it goes for me.
Proof:
Sorry for the crappy quality and the pause followed by the cut, my net was lazy...
Coming from a Droid Turbo, Moto's AOD was awesome. Always showed me the time and icons for any notifications - if I wanted more info, I tapthe notification and get a peek (still on AOD) at the info, then could open my phone directly to that app by dragging up.
In contrast, I find Samsung's AOD fairly useless - even the time is often NOT on or bright enough when I really need it. And if you choose the AOD with notifications, they only work for a couple of stock Samsung apps if you happen to use those apps.
Has Samsung opened up the AOD API to third parties to create their own AOD apps? If so, anybody know of any good ones? Or perhaps turn Samsung AOD off and a third party Android app can emulate it? Right now, as is, the Samsung one seems pretty useless to me. And the 3rd party themes they offer for AOD don't change or add to the functionality - just allow optional looks of the same basic function.
Check out these:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.greatbytes.activenotifications&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.achep.acdisplay&hl=en
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.anandbibek.notifyfree&hl=en
The last one seems to me to be the most effective.
Edit: You'll want to turn AOD off to use these.
The stock Samsung AOD enables some more optimizations for the display controller, including reducing the number of colours and the refresh rate.
How do I know whether those apps do the same? Is it known how to access the display controller this way, is there an API for that? How could I write an app that uses this?

My previous device was a Moto X and like you I miss some Moto AOD features too.
Anyway, there are ways to tweak a bit Samsung AOD , check this thread: Mod for Always ON Display to Double tap to Unlock possible?? (Nougat)
Android P in depth review (updating...)
Hi XDA, this is my opinion on the freshest dev preview of android P
Appearance
The appearance looks smoother and polished. The notifications have rounded corners and the Heads Up notifications appear like they are actually coming from the status bar instead of a rectangle taking up the screen. This is looking more and more similar to IOS, but android's customizability takes the lead. The new settings app looks a lot like the touchwiz settings because of the color coded icons. The clock has shifted to the left because P is made to support "notch" devices (i'll explain why Google is working hard for this feature later). The settings menu is organized more like touchwiz with the colored icons and that is a plus in my book. Overall, I believe this OS has achieved a greater standard when it comes to appearance.
New Features
Since this is only DP1, we are not seeing many new features, but I have seen the screenshot editor, different volume controls, the new settings app, etc. The screenshot editor is a much needed tool for me because I use social media and need to crop my screenshots, now this function can help me do just that. The volume defaults to media rather than ringer. The ring has 3 options, silent, vibrate, or ring. I believe this to be a better standard because I am always adjusting the media volume, but never the ring volume. This switch has kept the average consumer in mind. The new settings app has many battery tweaks! First off, there is a new power saving mode that doesn't tint your nav bar and status bar an ugly red color. This time, the battery saver works by limiting background power usage on applications and has a greater improvement on SOT. On DP2 at Google I/O, there will probably be more features to look for.
SOT/Battery life
The SOT has increased from 6 hrs on DU to 10 hrs on P. This is because P limits the background camera and microphone usage for apps such as Snapchat, Facebook, Twitter, etc. The new battery saver feature can be turned on at any time and increases the SOT even more! I use the kirisakura harmony kernel for P and it is as good as the stock kernel, with better audio quality.
Tweaks, root, what else?
TWRP 3.2.1-2 works, but the password decryption is still faulty. It still registers what lock setting you're using. Magisk v16.1 has been released on the beta thread and magisk manager is bundled in (it is working and registering this time). Some magisk modules are not working because of P, but that should all be fixed in a few days. The only CK i've seen is Kirisakura harmony.
Overall...
Android P is a great OS for people that like new features and is relatively stable for a new OS. There are some api compatibility notifications, but that is because app devs haven't upgraded to the new api. I will be using this as my DD until official P comes out.
Thanks.
Bugs? Battery life? What apps don't work?

I don't know if anyone will agree with me but my battery life is the same or better as stock for me. I had a couple force closes in the first 5 minutes after my first boot but only 2 since then. Snapchat comes up with a toast message occasionally that says something like "API compatibility error" or something, but the app still works. It has a couple hang ups here and there. I honestly feel like it's DP2 or 3 material. Been running for 24 hours, just my experience though.

Also have been running for 24 hours and battery is on par with stock Oreo. Haven't had any issues with apps, I don't use many though. Bluetooth works but it still said I was connected to my head unit after I turned my car off and was in my house, toggle off and on fixed it. Bluetooth icon doesn't show unless it's connected but it seems to be by design. Seems very stable for a dp1 but I think I might flash back to Oreo if root isn't available soon.

Looks like root is available just an issue with the magisk manager right now.

I am currently figuring out a method to get your root apps on P, will be posted soon (along with a few other things
I actually like p alot even though I'm starting to see a hint of iOS
Pros
For me battery is better than Oreo
I like certain aspects of design
Seems more stable
Cons
I hate iOS
Limited root for now

Well you can hate it but iOS is far ahead of android when it comes to the UI.
I personally like the new UI on P.
Bugs so far (fresh image install, 100% unmodified non-rooted) in my few hours of testing. Keep in mind that I paid attention to every little detail:
1. Phone didn't want to wake one time to the point where I thought the phone was off. It took maybe 10-15 seconds of fiddling with the power button to wake it.
- This alone makes me think that an alarm clock could be missed.
2. Randomly goes from silent to ring.
- May be dangerous for some people depending on situation (business meetings, school setting, sleeping).
3. Launcher settings can be seen through the app drawer background.
- Tacky cosmetic mistake.
4. Adaptive brightness appears broken.
I'm sure there are more that I haven't encountered as it was only for a couple of hours. I wouldn't run it as a daily driver if you rely on your phone for things like business, alarm clock, maps, etc.
It's pretty functional for an alpha release but I wouldn't call this stable enough for everyday use unless you're comfortable with the possibility of the phone switching to ring randomly, missing an alarm clock for an important event, or phone not waking to capture a life moment (picture/video).

That's weird I didn't have any of these issues except for the launcher settings icons displaying over the app drawer.
I did however encounter some minor problems:
On the settings icon shortcuts, when I click on "Data usage" I get an error saying "app not installed"
I cannot get the new screenshots editor, when I click on edit right after taking a screenshot it takes mo to the Google photos editor
I have noticed errors related to API compatibility showing on certain apps
Some apps don't seem to work correctly, GSam Battery Monitor for example is showing wrong stats (SOT jumped from 3 to 4h in a couple of minutes)
Other than that everything seems to work in a good and smooth way.
Words with Friends kept FCing
Pros:
1. Beautiful UI
2. Battery life is great (no orange bar for battery saving mode)
3. Notification management! P recognizes the types of notifications you want/ or don't want and gives you a quick option to disable them.
4. No FCs so far (might just be me)
Cons:
1. Launcher settings can be seen through app drawer (dev preview ****)
2. Settings icons are hideous
3. Media volume setting comes up by default when pressing the volume button. (might just be me)
I love so much about P. I can't wait for until it's out of dev preview.

I think I read that now volume keys always default to media volume rather than ring volume. Check one of the feature list posts in xda news to verify.
Review updated, includes more stuff
I've been running Android P for about 3 days now my Pixel XL. I haven't had many issues at all, but my battery seems to drain/die much fast than it did on 8.1.
I may try to re flash P again to see if a fresh install helps in anyway. Especially since everyone seems to be getting much better battery life with P.
I'll update if I see any difference.
So you are getting 10 hours of SoT with this P preview? Seems unreal man!

I'm also getting worse battery life on P, although I did just update from 8.1 with the factory image without wiping. I might just give it a try after wiping but I'd really rather not. I'm using a normal Pixel, non-XL.
