Battery life on MIUI - Post your experience

I am getting about 3 - 4 days of average usage out of a 100 % charge, running MIUI 1.8.19. I will continue to update this thread with confirmed findings of MIUI users posted here. Other than that, happy flashing!
People experiencing battery drain issues please post the following:
Your running kernel ([email protected] if you didn't flash anything on top)
CPU spy screenshot of a drain (from 100 % to like 20%, you can get CPU spy from market)
Screenshot of stats from the battery monitor in settings
Did you perform a battery recalibration after flash? (Charging the phone to 100 % in off mode, then boot)
My recommendations on increasing battery life:
Keep data on off whenever you don't use it. WiFi does not seem to have battery drain issues, use that instead if you are at home.
Disable albumart and lyrics download in music player, when you dont use it.
The media server can go crazy on battery drain - Even if you don't listen that much to music.
Use another launcher than the standard one. Sometimes in rare occations (happened for me twice though) the launcher keeps the phone out of deep sleep. I have had good results with Go Launcher.

Easy Alternative,
Download Battery Calibration from the market (Free) and install
Do a continuous charge the phone from AC charger recommended instead PC USB to 100% while its on
Follow instruction of the application and rate it well before uninstalling (the app creator made our life easy for free)

You are in the wrong forum, this is the SGSII forum.
But to help you anyway: Using 2G instead of 3G helps alot on the SGS1.

Google fit app on L is draining machine.

Look at this.

I highly recommend you guys to disable it if you want your battery to be better ?

How was your actual battery life with it on? I've been running Fit on my phone since the first Nexus 6 port was available. While it does hold a wakelock the hit to battery wasn't all that bad considering what the app does. I average maybe 30 minutes or less SOT time with the app turned on from 630 am to 1030 pm. I was impressed as I thought I'd be recharging shortly after lunch.

Will it still drain if I don't use it but have it installed. Somehow I see notifications on my moto 360 from fit.

Use Greenify Dude !!!

It working without notification in backgriund. I belive only solution , if You don´t want to use it, is to freeze or uninstall this wih TiBu.
EDIT: looks like it is possible to disable Fit ( maybe ), under settings> Google Fit Data>and turn off Activity detection. I belive then it wont work ay more.
EDIT: nope...still working

Guys, it's not affecting battery. Don't constantly look for issues. I use Google Fit (cause I have a Moto 360) and it doesn't affect normal usage so therefore it's not an issue. If it WAS an issue it'd show in the battery graph and you'd kill your battery in a couple of hours - THAT would be an issue!

Yeah me too. I don't see any difference with or without Fit.

There is not going to be any noticable drain because the app is using the low power core. It's the same core that was supposed to give us always listening Google Now when the phone launched but Google gimped us because of patent bs.

Uh, maybe. I don't know. Maybe because we have pedometer sensor built in so its not draining battery..

"Miscellaneous" battery drain

My phone is going through some weird battery issue. It's draining faster than it should. The biggest drain is the miscellaneous. It doesn't show what it is at all. As shown below, the phone should have lost just over 1000 mAh but in reality drained over 2700 mAh.

Any ideas what this could be or how to correct it?

Mine is doing the same, with Miscellaneous being at the top...not sure what is causing the issue. Are you rooted using the system-less method by chance?

No. I did adb pull and push my build.prop to change it to userdebug tho to enable multi window mode. I'm thinking I'm going to reflash the image when I get home to see if there's that has anything to do with it. Although, reflashing may correct an altogether different issue and I won't find the cause.

Hmm, I also did a build.prop edit - I may revert back to the stock one and see if that helps.
Edit: After changing the build.prop back to user (from userdebug) I can confirm that Miscellaneous is no longer displayed in the battery stats. Must be a developer feature to measure expected vs actual battery drain is my guess.

Hmm, but I wonder if the drain I'm experiencing will be any different. But as bugging as the multi window is I'm going to switch back until it gets fleshed out a bit more.

Actually it is a feature to make the total battery drain to match actual battery loss percentage. Has anyone noticed that after lollipop battery loss percentage was reset from base 100 to actual battery %. But the number never added up to the actual battery loss. Now after enabling userdebug it adds up. Wow. And fast discharging is a placebo effect.

Miscellaneous is from userdebug change in build.prop. its all normal stuff that you usually don't see cause it's normally hidden.

Some new finding on app behavior after the 146MB update.

The battery improvement is significant for sure after the update, I also found that using samsung package disabler to freeze some of the app is not causing the battery drain any more. (My personal experience before the update was disabling app using package disabler actually causing some of the battery drain). I will attach the one I disabled right now. So far there doesn't seem to be any effect on battery life. I didn't disable the knox or samsung pay function as I use them quite often. I'm also try to be less aggressive with the app I disable. App that could making the communication in the background I try to avoid disabling them.
Also, I found greenify's aggressive doze function seems to working for me. At least, help extend battery a little bit when not in use. I only open the aggressive doze function and never force it to hibernate app. I also exclude many of my frequently used app from hibernation list.
The apps I have freezed using package disabler

I will upload some result tonight.
Hope I can hear more tips from other users. I keep getting about 60% or more left after the update with about 2 hour of sot when I go to sleep compare to maybe 30% to 40% left before the update. I don't use dark theme as I like lighter color. Also, I use chrome browser and listen to a lot of pod cast when I'm drove home. I also try to close the screen when using GPS to save power but my location is always set at high accuracy, I tried GPS only mode but don't think that effect battery life of the phone. I want to use the phone as normal as possible. Different people have different usage, If you using GPS all the time and turn off the screen while using it. The screen on time probably pretty low but still have high battery usage. Therefore, I believe SOT to be highly subjective.
I also read that the best way to protect battery is not let it fall below 40% or 50%. So after some more testing, if I found the battery report seems to be stable after this update. I will just using wireless charger to top it off during work time.

User Review
That really helped my performance on the mobile and my battery , I tested for 1 week and felt a great improvement

trash, just messes up your filesystem and services for 0.5% extra battery (maybe). I read its thread it makes more damage than benefit.
1. fstrim worths nothing on ufs
2. google service - I trust in google they will fix any issues (btw I haven't)
3. zipalign for what +10mb?
4. "...by optimizating the DNS server..." what?
5. faster boot with disabled boot anim... ??? once a week, I really don't care the boot takes for 14 secs or 12 secs
