Has anyone tried ai.type keyboard?
If so did you experience high Ram usage with high battery consumption compared to the likes of Gboard and Swiftkey?

I'm having quite a bit of problem with my Dopod 900 (HTC Universal). It's performance in terms of battery life is below my expectations (probably due to all the plugins/startups that I have).
I'm thinking of using CPU throttling programs, i.e. XCPUScalar OR Pocket Hack Master. Has anyone had experience using such programs before, and does it really extend battery life significantly?
Also, any comments on which program is better, more stable, etc.?
This morning, as an experiment, I set the memory usage preset to very low in LauncherPro preferences to see if I got any increases in battery life. Has anybody tried this and gotten any noticeable increases without too much sacrifice in performance? I also used SetCPU to under clock the processor down to 400mhz and have noticed HUGE increases while not being too laggy. I am now pushing 24 hours on a single charge which has never happened before with how much I use my phone.
Hi there many of you have thought about battery saving apps.
Do they really work?
Are there some apps that instead of saving battery just drain your battery even more?
Do you know any methods that really save battery?
Just post your oppinions about this subject.

Battery saver apps are useless. just turn of data, sync,WiFi, Bluetooth when not in use. decrease screen brightness and screen timeout to 30 seconds. Use 245-806 with ondemand goveror for better battery.

I've read many people saying that using the ondemand governor wouldnt save that much battery because of the continuous search for cpu activity, actually i'm using performance at 1024 and i also have another profile with 806 performance aswell.
I have to test it better in order to see which governor saves more battery.
I think a good set may useful

I used to use 806 on demand, 1024 ondemand and 1200 ondemand... now I'm using 1024 performance, and I dont see any battery difference.. damn thing still drains.
The battery lasts 4/5 days on idle, what more do you want? It's par for the course.
why do you need the phone to stay on idle? for that you could buy a 10$ one =S

Because it's an indicator of battery performance and proves there's nothing wrong with battery life on Aurora, despite what many believe. Having ~1 day of battery life with heavy usage and 4-5 days (or even more) on idle is on par with the battery specs.

Actually we all know that the battery life in aurora its not full optimized. what i mean is what can we do in order to get the best performance without having to spend so much battery life. maybe its not possible but who knows
Fact: ICS produces more traffic than GB. A lot of apps (like browser) use more memory, so background processes die more quickly. You cannot except to get the same kind of battery performance out of an ICS rom and that's the end of it. This has nothing to do with Aurora.
When I dont need to use the phone I put the governor in powersave with a low Mhz and the battery is more safe with little use.
Phone become a little more slow but work.
When I really need to use the phone I change the governor to Smartessv2
I jus t wondering does undervolt really affect our battery life? How does it work?
When choose to undervolt it affect on performance, isn't it? Slower or stuttering when switch apps? With less energy less performance, does it wrong?
If it is, then how underbolt can improve peeformance better? :confuse

Judging from my experience UV experimentation doesn't affect battery life, and if it does it's definitely by an inappreciable margin. It does substantially reduce heating issues though especially during high-intensity usage (Spotify, GNow, gaming etc). Just don't overdo it or you wind up rebooting repeatedly--"safe" threshold varies by kernel
It also has no effect on performance, it's completely separate from clock speed.
I UV to lower temperature The N4 is very heat sensitive so you'd be wise to UV if possible, the throttle can kick in very quickly on stock, because of the default CPU behavior(mpdecision+ondemand seem to ramp in a ridiculous manner). I am seeing temps in the mid-low 30s thanks to UV and I'm running turbo mode on Faux's kernel.
Please, does turning off power saving decrease the performance of the note 10.1 2014 edition in any way. And also any difference in battery life? Thanks

It will surely affect the performance of the tablet. I'm not sure about the difference in battery life tho because I also turn power saving mode on
Done some quick tests with and with out power savings mode, in short:
Battery life up 20 % better ( really depends on use and settings like screen brightness and so on)
performance impact , well in reality it seems to scale down cpu/ gpu power buy 60 %, but in real life terms the effect is far from that drastic. Most apps run as fin, no real lag increase, games work just fine, even emulator er ok. You do notice a bit of a lag on certain High rez games , with max quality. But so far Still very playable.
tested with
FPSE (PSX emu)
Need for speed
Bards Tale
Youtube app
VLC ( movie app)
Again these are somewhat subjective tests, and lag is somewhat a subjective element. I haven't done benchmarks and such, simply because benchmark rez don't always translate to real world experience
