I just got a N7 and I've upgraded to 4.2.2, rooted and installed TWRP. Now I'd like to try to install something to improve the battery life. Is there a zip I can flash via TWRP to do this?
Maybe a kernel but i'm not sure...
lmao.. theres no magic zip file out there that magically improves battery life.
flash a kernel known for having a strong battery life *cough* franco kernel *cough*

There is no such magical .zip. Read the kernel threads, try some for yourself, and pick one that offers the balance of features and battery life you desire. Also, use some common sense when it comes to your own settings.
Use DS Battery Saver, it helps me alot
Just for curiosity, I have a stock nexus and my lasts phones I usually rooted to actualize with new rom, because always them was behind. Our phone is been actualized stock software until now, and I want to know from who rooted their nexus which benefits can u see of root our nexus 4?
P.s: if moderators not see that is a relevant post , can delete, just let know me first.
Thanx

Benefits are the same. After rooting you can install cutom roms. You get better battery life, USB fast charger, App opps, UI customization etc. But you will not get direct updates from Google.
So I just flashed stock image 5.1.1 and my battery life really took a hit. What custom rom has the best battery life these days? I am definitely not a power user, I just want long battery life.

Almost agree except for "After rooting you can install cutom roms". Rooting has nothing to do with custom roms. In order to flash a custom rom you need a custom recovery and an unlocked bootloader
Back to topic, I root my device to get my freedom. There are noumerous apps (wich I use) that require a rooted device. So, for me no root, no joy.
cheers

You can try SimpleAOSP Rom by snakeater. Install Hellscore Kernel or modified Semaphore kernel by Snakeater. Use conservative governer with touch boost to get better battery life.
hey guys, so i have a retgb stock rom for lollipop, how would i go about just flashing the modem from that rom. I want to do this to test a theory i have about the battery drain on marshmallow, to see if its caused by the new modem, any help would be appreciated...
certainly not caused by the modem. Did you clean flash? What did you do to upgrade? etc? have you disabled wifi/bluetooth scanning in the extended location settings, deleted play services data yet?

updated from a stock moto x play single sim, retgb to marshmellow via normal ota, had no root or bootloader unlocked. After the ota i installed twrp and rooted, wiped cache and data, did a factory reset. Then did everything you said above. Then tried with squid kernel, still have massive battery drain about 1 hour sot and barely lasts me 1 day. So yea... i thought it was worth a shot just trying my idea about the modem...

Really strange. Any special apps you use? Whats the app on top of your battery stats?

Mobile standby and phone idle, i have xposed and greenify installed, no speacial apps installed if you dont include kernel adiutor. Im gonna try going back to 5.1.1 stock and try a 6.0 stock rom via twrp, il post the results later.
Frequency stats probably show deep sleep as unused state?

no, deep sleep is being used like 92% of the time
So basically everything is working fine. In some other thread I read xposed seriously cripples battery life. I'm not using it so I can't tell

well im currently going back to stock 5.1.1 for now, im gonna try my therory, then i try with and without xposed, see if it makes a difference
@Benjamin_L well i can safely say that xposed makes no differece that i can see to the battery life so far. After flashing the old stock (5.0, including the modem, through fastboot) then going back to 6.0 by flashing the stock rom by GtrCraft via twrp my battery life seems to have improved quite a bit. So maybe it is the modem after all? Also why did you say it cant be the modem in the first post? just curious...

I ran both modems on 5.1.1 and 6.0 on several roms and stock firmwares and there was no difference, except for rom related things. And I never heard modem influences battery life dramtically if at all. On my old n4 i flashed several basebands and never noticed any difference in battery consumption at all.

How is your battery life under Android Marshmallow 6.0.1?
I updated the new N920CXXU2BPB6 (CAM) and after 2hours and 20mins its down to 77% from full charged (( and also the fast charging is slowly

You had a root b4 M
I'm none root
I think there is issue with the drain, but it's not sammy fault. if you google Android 6.0.1 problem you'll see many nexus users pointing out that their is a battery drain issue, hope sammy can fix it or it won't affect us as much, Android M suppose to kill those issues it seems like Lollipop 5.0 again.
Here are my battery usage. I think thats not good. Lollipop was better.
Sync, Bluetooth, wlan is off. Screen is autobrightness at 100%
Anybdoy a idea?
One day is not enought to say anything about battery life ... maybe after couple of days .
Android os consumes my battery 8%... is this a fee for root my device by samsung??? What the f.... is that?? I cant use my phone without root or custom kernel??? F.... off samsung!!

Thought I'm alone, anyways, the screen on-time is not bad and can go to 6 hours (if used at once), however when the phone is off, the battery drain is huge and doze mode doesn't seem to be working either..
from 2 to 6 am, the phone was on a table and I was asleep and the drains looks to be huge
No problem with drain for me

What your settings? Display brightness? What apps deactivate? Thanks
Stock settings nothing done to the system display brightness on auto but to full brightness nothing deactivated
Guys i think the issue is with root. IF you rooted your phone before, installed customer rom, installed kernel or installed recovery this issue will happen .
Someone on the forum point it to knox fused burn and it can no longer go back to normal.

Rightly said.
If you have tripped Knox while rooting previously, never ever installing a STOCK ROM (May it be lollipop or MM) will fix the battery drain issue since there is some read cycle which the kernel does continuously if the Knox is tripped which can only be overridden with a Custom Kernel.
So, either wait till we get a custom Kernel on MM and root (Ofcourse) or enjoy the new Look n Feel at the cost of battery drain
Btw, I am un-rooted on Stock N9208 (Waiting for MM in my region)

Yeah Man, i was just reading this post before you quoted me
I too am surprised, maybe the UAE room has some Deep Sleep fix in it built?
Can we confirm? :fingers-crossed:

You will never get stock everything deepsleep. So all future updates are null and void for everyone. Unless you get a modified stock kernel to fix the deepsleep. Or a custom kernel. Unrooting doesn't help as Knox ix 0x1
I have a Nexus 6p with 7.1.1 stock and it was only bootloader unlocked. Since it's been a year I was wondering if I should root and flash a custom ROM. The only disappointment I have is the battery life. Other than that everything is good so far.
Please advice.

Smart move to unlock the bootloader first thing. You could just start with a custom kernel like EX Kernel, or Franco. Even using the default settings, battery life was much improved. Custom governor profiles are built-in to EX and will yield even better battery life. Rooting will allow you to install several fantastic apps to help with device management and backups such as AdAway, Solid Explorer, Titanium Backup and FlashFire.
I would since it has sooo many advantages on XDA!

In order to install custom kernel, I need to root first and change the default recovery to custom like TWRP?
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA-Developers mobile app
For the kernel alone you do not need to be rooted, but a custom recovery like TWRP would be required. Suggest you follow the guide here. Should you decide to root, it is just a matter of flashing it with TWRP (like the recovery).
