Has anyone used this [AKT] Advanced Kernel Tweaks with their LG V20?
If so, how good is it?
If so, what device did you choose in installing it (as it doesn't appear to have v20 as an option)?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3/how-to/advanced-interactive-governor-tweaks-t3476589
Just install akt apk and select sd820.

Just an FYI the akt tweaks only work on nougat. Development ended quite awhile ago. My understanding the devs moved onto oreo and developed some tweaks search xda for something called helix engine I believe

I tried AKT on Classic rom with BTTF kernel on Ls997 and had no luck. Not sure if it was rom or kernel or what. Seemed to cut battery time in half instead of doubling. AKT would be sweet if I could get it to work right. Kernel already has no touchboost imbedded I guess btw.

Go figure...the first selection lol. I will test over a few days and see what comes about and then Ill post results.
Just a quick update so far... I am currently in midst of testing the Xana Extreme again because on my cell I was experiencing no lag or if any very slim and wanted to real test as I got it working properly via app version. The Zanah didnt seem to cause any issues as it also did increase a few hours of battery life. So far however with the Xana extreme I am currently on 26 hours since full charge and no plug since at 56% battery left. I know it is about SOT, but total life is just as important. No restarts as that kills the test. Im happy and impressed so far. Will post more after battery nears death
Here of some pics of current test so far...

What settings?
What's been your results?
Thank you for sharing this.
Here is the final result...even though not showing much as for screen as I did not use too much, but overall battery is epyk . Still showed main results luckily after a reboot because it died before I could get a "before death screenshot".
Thanks for these... Is everyone using mk2000 kernel, or is there a better battery life friendly one (for US996)?

I'm currently on aokp rom so haven't tried this. I would suppose it should work with op3
Here is a shot of my initial rundown of a new 4100 mAh Li polymer battery that's the same size as the stock one (mentioned in the Accessories section and the V20 Subreddit), getting past 10 hours of screen-on time. You can ignore the averages section of the screenshot as it's the first run.
Setup: LS997, ClassicROM ZV7 | mk2000 BTTF kernel | AKT 1.6, OnePlus3/SD820, Project Zhana Battery profile
I also turn on aggressive doze when idling overnight using Naptime, dim the display down after sunset using CF.lumen, and auto-brightness is on.
So I decided to switch up atm because I wanted my GPU to not be bogged down at all. I checked the Xana battery in the balanced area and was fairly impressed. For absolute no bog down and fully clocked GPU/CPU for full performance and good battery I recommend this. Sure the results seem less, but my battery has also had hundreds of restarts and charges since I got it and who knows how many before hand. A brand new would show better. I also have a dynamic wallpaper and am running Dolby and Viper as well. Same kernel. Same rom. Same phone.
Also the pic shows 15% because phone died before I could get proper screenshot, the 95% is the key and results are still accurate.
This is my final post as to testing for this thread.

Mysticblaze,
I wanted to bring the conversation from "[Discussion] Improving efficiency and battery life of the V20." back to here since we started to get into some talk about this AKT.
There, you said, "I can get around 10hrs sot (depending) using Xana extreme battery. That's the one I'm currently on.
Have a 4200 mAh battery (reg size)"
1st - what ROM and kernel are you using with that?
2nd - is the battery 4200 or 3200 (mine's a 3200)?
3rd - any other settings I need to know about to pull 10 hours SOT?
Thank you so much!

Yes, 4200. It's a Shemnz. Got from eBay. Rom is Classic for ls997. Kernel is latest 7.0 mk2000. Hard to say on other settings. My test tho was an up to.
I left screen always on with a live wallpaper running with a covered proximity sensor for lowest Auto. Got about 10 and a half.

Hey folks,
I am giving two kernels out to test. Don't worry, both are quite stable. However, I am looking at some different settings to see which gives better battery life. So, in an effort to avoid any "placebo effect" results, I am not saying which settings these are just yet.
What I am looking for, if you folks could be so kind as to check:
Battery life between the two.
Performance between the two.
Neither of these kernels are overclocked.
Please test using the same governor between both, preferably Ondemand.
Thanks!!!

I would love to help test, but I'd like to know if you have any good criteria for the testing. It's really hard to test something without any guidelines as maybe you end up using the phone more on one, or downloading or whatever, and both seem like 'moderate usage', but in reality they are quite different.
As a matter of fact, I'm having a hard time verifying the current draw on my phone, and knowing what is good or not good, in general.
Just use your phone as you normally would, for both.

How can you really tell how much better the battery life is in such a short amount of time to test?
This reminds me of a test that kmobs did back in the day for kernels on the nexus. Turned out that heavily undervolting the kernel has a negative impact on battery life. Where's jlevy at. I know he remembers.

Lol, that was quick. I'm thinking he wants testing to go a little more than 30 minutes with each.
I'll test out A for 12 hours and B for 12 hours, if you think that's suffiecent. That should get me through a full charge on each.
Should be sufficient.

Do i have to clear battery data everytime i switch kernels?
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Ok guys. I have to admit, I was about to give up on CM7 due to battery issues and what seemed to be memory leaks progressively making my phone lag more and more throughout the day. I have found something some of you may not be aware of and I wanted to share this amazingly helpful kernel with you.
Using x99, Scary, and stock kernels regardless of governor I seemed to maybe get 8 hours of battery life with moderate to heavy use. I am proud to say, using bcnice20's kernel I have had my phone on for 9 hours with 60% battery life today. This is incredible, even with lighter use on the other kernels I had NOWHERE near this amount of battery left.
Most of you may not have seen this kernel because it isn't posted. (as far as im aware) Let me help you out. First, go into your Market and download Kernel Manager. There is a lite version in there that is free. If you have an extra buck or two donate to the developer for making a neat app where you can download kernels in a convenient place by downloading the pro version.
What you will be downloading is called bcblend SIO tinyRCU kernel. I have not tried VR tinyRCU kernel yet. Not sure what the differences are, if someone could elaborate that'd be appreciated.
Regardless, I find the sweet spot for this to be at 245MHz min and 1GHz max on Interactive governor to work really well. The phone does not seem to get laggier throughout the day and consistently performs well, snappy, and just way better than the other kernels. (No offense to x99 and Scary, I appreciate all you've done!)
Give it a try and let me know if you all have similar results! I have heard that AOSP gets less battery than Sense ROMs from people on this very forum, and this may be the kernel to put that little debate to rest.
Oh, and be sure you have the latest CM7. I am on 7.0.2.1 trying this out.
Thanks ima try this out

Since CM7 lets you change governors right in its settings I uninstalled SetCPU for now, in theory I would think it would cause more battery drain but I don't know for sure. But yes I just changed it right in CM7. I changed the governor to interactive and set the max cpu frequency to 1036MHz.
Gonna try this out. I love CM7 but the battery is killing me. I pray this works.
Android system & cell standby seem to be the battery use culprit. I will give this a try though but don't really think its in the kernel. Ill report back...

This kernel seems to be really good about not sucking the battery while on standby for me, that seems to be the crown jewel of it all. Right Now I am at 14 hours off the charger with 29% left.. remember I was lucky to get 8 hours most days before using this kernel.
This is off-topic, but along the same lines: which kernels gave the best battery life for Sense?

Honestly I didn't get much difference between x99 and bcnice20's 1.5GHz kernel so either of those two. Scarykernel SUV works well on Sense if your phone can boot it too.

It seems to be true. I'm def getting better battery life. I also calibrated my battery but I've done that before without any major change. So far I have 5 hours of quite a bit of use and I'm at 71% I would normally be around 55-60% by now. I wonder what the main difference is with the kernel...

Medium use.
On my Gingerbreaded Evo-Shifted Premium XDA App.
After flashing numerous ICS ROMS lately, I always seemed to have one major complaint. No matter which on I tried my Battery wouldnt seem to last more than 8 hours or so. Well, so far it's gone down only 6% in the last 6 hours with moderate use. here's what I've done (on Doc's Master ICS v5 Final, icyGlitch v14 b5).
***if anyone already has this listed somewhere, I apologize. I tried to find a post telling what to change and i couldnt so this is what i came up with***
1. set min/max cpu to 400/1000
2. use glichassV2 scaling gov
3. ns tools: active scheduler set to fiops
And I must say, Doc's Master V5 has easily got to be the BEST all-round ROM I've tried BY FAR!!! Vibranturk has damn near perfected this stuff.
Don't know if this is going to help, but appreciate you posting it. I have decent life on AOKP Build 26 with icy Glitch v14b5 with CPU set to 100/1300, Glitchassv2, default scheduler, and the 1800mAh battery. But if this helps squeeze a little more out, then all the better. Right now I get about 12 hours with moderate usage.
Sent from my rough sketch of a Vibrant on a brick.
I'm running TeamHacksung's build 16 and the main thing I've done for battery life is to customize the screen brightness levels. I had battery drain issues on it the first time I flashed, but I think it was because something I had done. I odin'd back to stock and reflashed CM7 then the TH 16, everything has been really smooth. I'll have to try out the changes you mention here to see how it goes... I'd love to be able to get the same or better battery life and more performance.

well, i made it to 12 hours. but about a solid hour and a half of that was playing Need for Speed Hot Pursuit so i imagine w/o that i couldve got quite a bit more life out the charge.
I had to turn the deep idle off when it came time to charge or it wouldnt charge correctly. and, for some reason it keeps saying that its 100% charged after just a short time. after a reboot the real percentage shows up.
You guys are on GLITCH kernel im guessing to get Glitchass v2 governor?
I shall try this for Euphoria today.
Can't believe i'm saying this but it truly does work. Usually after school my battery would go to a crawl to about 20% today it stayed up about 50% REALLY fantastic standby life.
Thanks OP
x66, if you want to get even better battery life, go into the display settings, in the Backlight settings, and you should be able to edit the 'Other Levels'... Bring those down a bit if you haven't already and you'll get even better battery life as you won't be using as much juice on your screen. Has worked out really well for me.

Also, since doing this tweak, i got an upload speed boost....i dunno if it's related..

Coming from an LG G2 (long story), battery life is what I miss the most. The nexus 4 has about half the screen on time than my g2 did.
I'm already unlocked and rooted but still stock ROM. Are there any Roms that significantly improve battery life?
I found smart 3G on Cataclysm to be pretty good at saving battery.
ROMs and kernels have little to do with battery. Your usage, signal for mobile data and WiFi, screen brightness, your configuration for location services, gps and the like and your apps determine your battery life.

I'd try Paranoid. I used it for a while after using stock and I found that the battery improved.
roms have absolutely zilch when it comes to battery life. only thing rims can do with battery is reduce it. generally, the more added mods/features a rom has, the worse the battery life. but not always. battery life is determined by hiw you personally use your phone, how you set it uo, what apps you use, and the quality of your phone/data connection. everything else, including kernels, have a very minimum effect on battery.
Well
When I was with Carbon, the play store thing killed my battery to 3hrs on screen time
Switched over to Purity Rom with Hells kernel and I have 5-6 on screen time
WiFi on all the time, no data or GPS or Bluetooth.

set up your CPU and everything else just how the kernel sets it up for you, and you'll get the same battery life. be more active, set things up manually.

can you tell the story please , anyway ROM has weee little to do with battery life , its mostly on how you use it and the kernel you are using as well as sync loops and dodgy leaky apps , my personal setup is rom = paranoid android and kernel = hellsdoctor , using synapse app i switched the maximum clock speed to 1.2 Ghz , and changed the maximum core online to two, gpu is overclocked by default , rest is, location settings are turned off only turned on when required , brightness is set to 50 % , no dodgy apps on the phone , i can squeeze about 5 and half hours sometimes 6 its good enough for this battery size though and hope it works out for you :good:

These all seem to supposedly do the same things for our phones... tweak them for better battery or better gaming or whatever.
Has anyone had good results from any of these for battery life?
I'm going to start testing them myself, but I want to know what results others have gotten.
Thanks!
From my experience, there have definitely been no negative effects from using these types of tweaks. Almost since day one, I've used the older AKT 1.6 (I think you asked about that one last year) and then switched to LKT (picked balanced profile) earlier this year to test. Since I saw absolutely no difference in battery life between those two based on my light to moderate usage, I just kept LKT. I'm not sure what the exact benefits of these tweaks are vs. stock/no tweaks as I've been using them early on, but so far, there's no harm in having one of them installed as they don't interfere with anything I do on my phone (LS997, stock-based Nougat custom ROM, mk2000 kernel).
In case you're wondering about my typical battery life, I go from full to 10–15% in 1.5 to 2 days, averaging over 6 hours screen-on-time on a rotating pair of 4100 mAh Lithium polymer batteries that I had since last December.

From my experience, there have definitely been no negative effects from using these types of tweaks. Almost since day one, I've used the older AKT 1.6 (I think you asked about that one last year) and then switched to LKT (picked balanced profile) earlier this year to test.

Thank you.
Is there a particular app I can run for 5-10 minutes to "run" the phone a bit to them check Accubattery to see how much it's draining?
I would like something or some ideas so I can test each of these under similar situations and have a good comparison.

That would be difficult to pull off since app usage varies so much by user, and you probably won't see much happening in such a short period. The most common thing to do is use any battery monitoring app such as GSam Battery Monitor or BetterBatteryStats that shows details of how much battery each app drains and use your phone normally for at least a full day to see if there is any significant drain by any app during the period. You can find brief descriptions of those battery monitoring apps over here.

Valid point about the short period of time testing.
Here's my perceived dilemma:
Let's say I test the "l speed" for 1 day -- and play games for 1 hour and get 2 hours of phone calls.
Then I test the "LKT" for 1 day -- and play games for 45 minutes and get 1 hour of phone calls.
How can I tell which one is working best for battery life since the phone was used more on the 1 day than the other?

That's where longer testing periods would be more helpful to cover any differences/inconsistencies. Ideally, you'd want to give it at least a week to get a good sense of any battery life benefits/drawbacks vs. no tweak installed.

NFS-Injector - https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-nfs-injectorv1-t3857231
These all seem to supposedly do the same things for our phones... tweak them for better battery or better gaming or whatever.
Has anyone had good results from any of these for battery life?
I'm going to start testing them myself, but I want to know what results others have gotten.
Thanks!

You can choose Extended battery, I am currently using one 10500 mah battery. Battery life is mindblowing. I lasted more than 1 whole day with heaviest usage ( 7 hours Video Playback, Calls, Hotspot for 5 hours, etc) and still got 40% left on the battery. Yea its kinda bulky but you have to sacrifice something.

That's not a bad idea. For now, though, I'll hold off on adding the bulk to the phone and keep tweaking. But it's something to keep in mind. Thanks!
In my testing, LKT can have thermal and ram issues, FDE can have thermal issues (both with battery above 115 degrees Fahrenheit.) FDE can have root ability issues as for editing files with root exploring app. Injector can have same issues, but not as bad. AKT still holds the crown in my book.

My main issue with AKT is that it seems outdated. It's no longer updated. Many have said that it won't work right with Oreo (which I'm on). I don't know.
Are you on Oreo?
This is some good information. Thanks!

No, I can't Stock Oreo. Can't root past ZV7. I have a Ls997 (Sprint).
Well If you still want full root ability, then possibly LKT, maybe injector. Lspeed I have no issue with either. Lspeed can be used with AKT, LKT, FDE, Injector, but don't set same settings as others apply or it CAN have bad results. With Lspeed it seems a lil more aggressive as to acting and you can feel a difference with lag/performance/see battery changes with Accu pretty quickly after restarting with after changes.
As for out-dated, AKT may be old, but it sufficiently works. The app is best. Kinda like our phones, maybe kinda out date, but blows most of/if not - any other away with it's abilities. To be honest, most kernel mods might be based if of AKT imo. There is a way to edit post appied AKT profiles for further customised settings that will stick as AKT fully boots after restarting that I found also.
You can edit the post applied AKT selected profile that you want to always work automatically after AKT fully boots (Superuser boot) by going to... Root/storage/0 (or local, whatever your internal storage is)/AKT/AKT. Edit the AKT file in the AKT folder with text editor, save, delete backup file, reboot. Copy and paste a backup somewhere else to use as needed in future. Found this ability after many, countless wonders if able. Yes, yes it is .
