Hello guys,
I am new to android and I would like to root and debloat my note 4. I won't be making some big changes, I've got nova launcher + greenify and it's good enough for me as for customization but I experience a lot bigger battery drain on 5.0.1 than on 4.4.4 so I would like to root my note and check what are the wakelocks, and then if needed delete bloat apps like dropbox, facebook (maybe installing facebook lite?), facebook messenger, ANT radio and such.
My question is if rooting with cf-autoroot is enough to do this thing? Will Titanium backpup help me delete all the bloatware apps? What app will I need to stop baterry-draining wakelocks? And also, is there any way to block all but one apps from background data? Let's say I will turn off data in background and leave it just for whatsapp for notofications? I would like to block some google services also since i never use S voice or google now etc.
I would appreciate any kind of help.

For wakelock finding you can use GSAM battery monitor or BetterBatteryStats (BBS)
Greenify, Disable Service, or Amplify if you use Xposed to improve battery life.
Debloating can be done manually, or with scripts/programs around the forum here.
Or you can just flash SimplRom in and have a debloated rom immediatly
Hope it helps :good:

I wouldn't uninstall My Places as I believe is tied in with system security. Just freeze it, as least then if removing it does cause any problems is an easy fix.

I can't believe this, this is incredibly horrible. I can't even name all of my apps right now because I'm afraid the length of the list is going to kill my battery more. Please someone help with this drain? I have 3 hours on a 61% battery.
Other than my device heating up during full gpu usage during game, I don't have battery/heating issue. My experience since OTA so far is that MM runs cooler and battery life has improved (not significant but in positive gain). Brave frontier game will heat up your device fast.

Xposed v23 arm64 causes massive battery drain like 1% loss every minute, and also heating issues upto 46°C, i used gravity box, snapprefs only, but without them, it was still draining.
I might try the safe mode way to identify the problematic app(s)... when I go on holidays next week.

Just reinstalled xposed yesterday after my upgrade earlier this week. Last night/today my phone suddenly started rebooting itself. Might be related to greenify on my end. Going to uninstall xposed, as I think it might be related.

Greenify's GCM Notification functionality is culprit for the reboots. Unchecked it and there will be no more random reboots

Strange... that's the whole reason to use it. At least it used to be. *sigh*
Am I overdoing it by using all three. My screen time has increased to 5 hours (I'm a heavy user) not rooted. Not sure which one if any is the most effective. I disabled Facebook and replaced it with the chrome shortcut, but I do use messenger I find it very good for chrystal clear phone calls shame I can't shortcut this on chrome. Package disabler seems very good but not sure. Your thoughts

A while ago I was using everything I could to improve battery life. Greenify, Amplify, Package Disabler, freezing/deleting system apps, 2g only, no auto brightness and so on.
Now I do not even install xposed. I just let the phone run as it is. Remember to keep your signal strength strong and greenify apps that you're not using. That's all.
Which apps should I use? I have a rooted system
using huawei setting is a good way, Greenify, with root give good result. I've try xposed framework tip's but, for me , maybe you can adjust/set the way your battery is working but just install xposed give a huge drain battery. I've test V84, V85 and V86 and with just framework manager with no modules I had 20 or 30 % lost in the night VS maybe 6-8 % without.
Excuse my poor English
Personnaly i use Naptime to hibernate the phone when it is not used, and the Amplify Xposed module to kill wakelocks, then increase stand-by battery life.
For me, the best " battery saving mode " was the "stamina" mode on sony device. I saw there is a plan to port this mode ( stamina ) on any android device, using xposed module --> http://repo.xposed.info/module/net.jzhang.powernap
For me, battery is ok without framework, but if you want take a look...
But I repeat, using Huawei setting is a good way : phone manager ( ? in french it's gestionnaire de téléphone ) explore menu, and setting / app/advanced setting / ignore battery optimisation ( ?)
I personally use Xposed with greenfy module, and L Speed app (From Play Store).
I can use the phone the whole day without recharging it.
I can recommend you also Amplify module ?

I dont understand how greenify works. So if I greenify whatsapp for example do I still get messages on time?
Which apps should I greenify? Could someone write a list with some apps? Thx

Greenify keeps turning off the apps. This is how it works.
That means you won't get messages, as long as the app is not opened.

there is a feature that allow you to get updated message from your app while this one is greenified. Works with many message app.
edit : maybe you need xposed module of greenify

The apps when you close them, they still are on "background". Greenfy close them totally. I use greenfy on every apps on my phone except for Nova Launcher, WhatsApp and some Xposed modules

with donate version you can hibernate app and get message, even it's hibernated :
from greenify description from play store :
"* Greenify system apps (now without Xposed)
* Allow GCM push for hibernated apps"

True, but you need to be sure the app supports GCM
Thanks to everybody!
No problem
Dear XDA,
So I bought the s7 edge to replace my note 7. So before i start loading apps, copying data, making customization I want to set up for the most stable and fastest operation. I got the package disabler pro and i have been playing with it on my N7 before i do anything to the s7 edge. I may use what's app and Instagram but not Skype. I do use the Microsoft office suites though. I wanna be able to use gear vr in the future but I do have the gear s3 frontier coming in too. So I clicked disable all bloatware. So if I do this would i lose any functionality? Any stability? I dont want that so called battery drain. Also i use thr system wide encryption, is that tied to knox ?
I also use the package disabler pro for s7 edge international. I disabled all bloatware, and some other apps. Everything works fine, nothing crashes or freeZe.
Don't click disable all bloatware! Users have reported issues with this as it disables some necessary apps that other apps ping to for updates.
What i recommend is to just go through the list and disable what you don't use. Then recheck the list after a few days under "show me running processes" if using EZ disabler, and disable the apps that are running which you don't use. That's what I've done and have had good battery life

I used the package disabler pro from the play store. I dont which package is worth disabling to save performance, there are a lot of packages disabled by itself.

Generally speaking if you don't know what packages to disable, then I would avoid a package disabler. You might risk freezing something important.
If your really focused on disabling packages, just download "EZ package disabler." Because of 2 reasons:
1) EZ provides a description of each package and what it does. So you know yourself what to disable if it sounds like bloat.
2) PDP is influenced by Samsung, Samsung tell the app Dev to hide certain packages cause it doesn't want users to disable Samsung bloatware, which is why I use EZ package disabler instead

Well before buying the package disabler, It checked to make sure both it and ez package have the same features. They do. Also I use most of the samsung software. Does ez package actually tell you what package is what or does it direct you to a google search? Thats what package disabler pro does. Btw I am using PDP by PoliceDeveloper, I heard there are other copies of this on the net!
