I believe this is a feature already existing in stock kernels. Its what helps you save your battery when you aren't doing anything.

Yes to a certain extent, but if you monitor the system with wakelock, and a cpu monitor, it still fluctuates quite a bit, freezing system wakes is a whole other mission on its own, if you want your syncs and stuff still to work in the background.
Anybody manage to pull this of with tasker/other apps?
Edit: Kernel Tuner plug in + Tasker is the answer, just use a "A1 cpu tool" or "cpu spy plus" since they keep logging even when your phone sleeps

Nice list mate, but Airpush Detector is pointless for S4 mini, because the S4 mini use 4.2.2
And Button LED does not support S4 mini
This guide is to install AOSP 7.1.2 and GApps on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1, model GT-P7500 ("p4"). It has also been reported working on the Wifi-only version GT-P7510 ("p4wifi") with minor changes, noted in the instructions. I will update this main post as better information becomes known.
Updated 2018-Aug-06
After a couple dozen wipe-and-retry sessions, I thought I'd share my current setup which to date has been the most stable configuration I've had between Nougat and Oreo. I've had absolutely no stability issues so far with this setup, and I even have fully functional Google search, voice search (and Ok Google), and voice typing - no crashes. Anyone who's tried to install a modern GApps on these devices will know the frustration of literally endless and unstoppable "....has stopped" messages!
Here's what I've got working on my GT-P7500:
- AOSP Nougat 7.1 (all thanks to @decatf)
- Fully functional Google Apps - NO "... has stopped working"/"... keeps crashing" issues. None.
- Google Search, Google Now, voice search, voice typing, and other voice-related services ALL WORK. No crashing.
I should also mention that I have NOT included the instructions to create the 1GB /system partition. I figured this out when I was trying to install modern GApps that needed more space; in the end the instructions below turned out to be the best and do not require the expanded space. I have posted the file in another thread if anyone wants it for other purposes.
Installation Instructions:
Download these files to your PC. Some files are different for different variants of the device - make sure you get the right ones for your device!
Odin v1.85 (download)
Use only this version, the newer ones don't work well with this device.
TeamWin Recovery Project
Custom unofficial versions for p4* by @decatf. Direct download links below; select the right one for your device. (original thread / downloads page) Some have reported issues with TWRP 3.1.1; if you experience issues, try TWRP 2.8.7.0 instead.
TWRP 3.1.1.0 - for GT-P7500/p4 (download) - for GT-P7510/p4wifi (download) - for SGH-T859 (download)
TWRP 2.8.7.0 - for GT-P7500/p4 (download) - for GT-P7510/p4wifi (download) - for SGH-T859 (download)
Android Open Source Project 7.1.2 Custom Built for Galaxy Tab 10.1 - AOSP 7.1.2 built for p4* by @decatf (downloads page) (original thread).
decatf's AOSP 7.1.2 2017-10-05 - for GT-P7500/p4 (download) - for GT-P7510/p4wifi (download) - for SGH-T859 (download)
SuperSU v2.82 (download) (original thread).
Custom GApps from decatf's Lollipop release (download) (original thread).
Yes, really, the Lollipop version. Just trust me.
Boot into Download mode (instructions).
Connect to PC.
Start up Odin v1.85.
If the device is properly recognized, it will show up in the first of the row of white squares at the top. If not, install the Samsung USB Drivers and start again.
Use Odin 1.85 to install TWRP 3.1.1 Custom.
Reboot to Recovery mode (instructions).
Wipe the device, including the /system partition.
Transfer the AOSP, SuperSU, and GApps files to the device.
Install decatf's AOSP 7.1.2.
Install SuperSU v2.82.
Do NOT install GApps at this time, despite all the instructions everywhere else that you would normally install GApps before the first boot. This older release is being used to get a version of the Google app that works on this tablet's no-longer-supported CPU, and the install is done after first boot to bypass Google's Setup Wizard which will put you in an impossible-to-exit loop.
Reboot to System, and allow complete boot-up. Note that the boot will take several minutes as Android 7 does its thing setting up - be patient!
Once fully booted, wait a minute for the system to settle, then reboot back into Recovery.
Install custom GApps.
Reboot to System. Boot should be much faster this time.
You can do this part later, but the final steps will be smoother if you do this first.
Install a CPU Speed Control program of your choice. Device Control, 3C Toolbox, No-Frills CPU, heck even Automate or Tasker if you already have a script setup.
Set your CPU Max speed to 1400 MHz (1.4 GHz). I find stability issues at anything above 1400 on my device; your mileage may vary. When testing speeds, do not set them to apply on boot until you are certain it is still stable, or you may have some difficulty reverting.
Optionally Set your CPU Governer to Performance. This results in a smoother system overall, and doesn't seem to have much of an effect on battery life. I also use some settings to drop the Governer to Interactive when the screen is off, back to Performance on screen on. You can do this using any number of programs like Automate, Tasker, IFTTT, 3C Toolbox, and many others...
Most important step - open Play Store, go to My Apps, select Google, click the Menu in the top-right corner, and uncheck Auto-Updates. Alternately, you can go to Play Store Settings, and disable auto-updates altogether, but that is more troublesome than simply inhibiting the single app.
Update Google Play Services. It will need to be updated before most of the newer apps will function, so might as well do it now.
Install all the other Google apps you want from the Play Store, and any updates... you will need to update Play Services before most of the newer apps will function... but never, ever update the main Google app.
Open Settings.
Scroll to the bottom, and open Language and Input. Select Physical Keyboard settings, and enable "Show Virtual Keyboard". This ROM fakes having a physical keyboard always connected for some reason, so you will never see an on-screen keyboard unless you turn this on.
As long as we're in Settings, go to Security, and enable Unknown Sources. You'll probably want this.
Set up your Wi-Fi connection.
Adjust any of your other preferred settings.
You're finished! Try installing some of the software below.
Known issues:
Browser will crash once or twice during the first few minutes of operation for unknown reasons. Doesn't seem to happen again after that.
Recommended software that works: (I'll add Play Store links later...)
3C Toolbox / 3C Toolbox Pro - I've found this to be an excellent package for numerous functions including CPU control, app control, and battery reporting - I was able to quickly determine which of my chargers would charge it fastest. Also gives options for optimizing device on each boot and a number of other useful functions.
Via Browser, a modern browser built to be slim and speedy "for geeks". It is surprisingly responsive compared to the other two options on this old device.
decatf's Chromium for Tegra 2 CPUs (direct link to Downloads). This is a modern browser with all the features you expect, but compiled to run on the older CPU. It is a little bit slow but is essentially Chrome without the official branding, including the ability to sync with Chrome on other devices. @decatf is nice enough to keep compiling new versions to keep it roughly on par with Chrome, let's hope he keeps it up.
Firefox Focus, a privacy-focused version of the Firefox browser maintained separately. For whatever reason, this one is still compiled for older devices where the full browser is not. It is a modern and relatively speedy browser which can be nice to have on hand, but purposely eliminates features most people want in a daily-use browser, like bookmarks, history, etc.
Got suggestions for useful software that functions well on this old device? Let me know!
Mainstream software that WILL NOT WORK, even though it shows up as compatible in the Play Store and will install fine (but complain about your CPU type or report 'unsupported device'):
Google Chrome browser - as an alternative, check out decatf's Chromium, noted above.
Mozilla Firefox browser - as an alternative, check out Firefox Focus and Via Browser, noted above.
Find another one? Let me know! There were more but I've forgotten.
Original post...
You read it. I have a Tab 10.1 (GT-P7500) which I have managed to configure with decatf's AOSF Nougat 7.1, Google Apps with fully functional Google App and Voice Search (NO crashes), and with an enlarged /system partition so there is actually room on the partition to install some extra system apps without mucking about with linking or anything.
I slapped a quick guide to the GApps bit on the end of decatf's 7.1 thread in Development, but I wonder if there is enough of an interested audience for me to write up how I did the whole thing?

I could find little to no information on how to do any of this, but I pieced it all together, experimented, and got it working. I've solved most of the problems I was having, including the ones that seem to be most commonly posted here from what I can see.
So here's what I've got working on my GT-P7500:
- decatf's AOSF Nougat 7.1
- Fully functional Google Apps, NO "... has stopped working"/"... keeps crashing" issues. None.
- Google App WORKS. No crashing.
- Google Now WORKS. No crashing.
- Voice search WORKS. No crashing.
- Voice typing and other voice-related services WORK. No crashing.
- Larger /system partition.
What I haven't figured out or haven't worked on yet:
- Some apps do not seem to be reading the compass properly, but I think a test app showed it as working, so needs more investigation...
- Get (standard) Firefox running.
- Which partitions can be safely reduced or eliminated to increase available data space.
- Experimenting to see if any voltage adjustments will allow 1.6GHz overclocking to function without freezing up. My device will only run stable at 1.4GHz
pOST the instructions
please post instructions
Yes Please!
Please post the instructions. I still use the OG Galaxy Tab 10.1 regularly. Yes its slow as all heck, and barely runs 2 apps at a time. But Id like to do this just for giggles before my Yoga Book comes in the mail and i lay my 6yr old Tab to rest.
I'd also be very much interested in this. I just got one of these as a gift for a NGO that I'm working for, and would love to be able to use it...
yes please!
Please post instructions/guide. Would love to able to update the tablet. My daughter uses it and it's so slow
pls advice if said method can be aplied to P7100
I am also interested in what you did to get everything working (for me, the Setup Wizard continually crashes right after the first screen).
Was this guide ever posted and has anyone tried it

Yes they posted it here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75777254&postcount=1046
I followed all the steps up until I got to 'install SuperSU'. First root I did, it stopped the home button/recent apps button from working. So I started again and didn't install it
GApps worked perfectly and I was able to login to google and download all my apps
Once I rebooted the system, the tablet was stuck on the "Android" logo for about 5-8 mins so I left it and then it loaded normally. 2nd time it loaded perfectly.
Installed Device Control [root] but it said it wasn't able to access the processor tab so uninstalled.
FYI, I had to use TWRP 2.8.7.0 available at the same link https://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=24424 for my p4wifi. I tried the latter one, but didnt work so just copied over the older tar file, installed in TWRP itself, rebooted recovery, and then the rest of the steps worked. Thanks OP for trying to bring this old tablet back to life!
When I install aosp-7.1-p4-20171005.zip, I got:
E3004: This package is for "p4" devices; this is a "p4wifi"
and stop installing
How to solve this?

Perfect guide, thank you! Brought my long forgotten tab back to life with some extra sparkle. I too had to use TWRP 2.8.7.0 to get the ROM to install on my P4. (Donwload link to 2.8 Recovery as the main thread links were down : https://get.xda-developers.com/dl/1....md5?key=juCucVnKuO7-Lt_mR3qH6g&ts=1534633325)
Word/Excel
Hi! I can't launch Microsoft Word/Excel/PowerPoint from Play Store. I get a message "This device uses a processor that doesn't meet the system requirements for installing Office.". Have I done something wrong during the update? Thanks!
Mine is running very smoothly including internet and video, however, I am having the following issues:
- home screen circle and task history triangle buttons in the bottom menu are not working
- when I plug in the USB cable my computer recognizes the device but no menu pops up on the tablet allowing me to select file sharing
- I can't access developer options in the settings menu (tapping 7 times on the build version does not bring it up)
So right now I can't move any files to the tablet.

Slide down the notification bar. Select Nougat symbol to switch the USB mode.
Can you run Microsoft Word?

Unfortuntately, something is wrong with my onscreen menus. I can't swipe down to expand the menu, so I only see the top row of symbols (wifi, user, flashlight, auto-rotate, Bluetooth) and can't get to any other symbols. I'm kind of new to this so I'm not sure what impact different versions of TWRP would have - my version is 3.0.3. Maybe I should update to the version noted in the post.
I get the same error for Word.
Good guide, but some inconsistencies in the sequence.
For example, you indicate to disable the auto-update on the Google app BEFORE to fill in your Google account: it's impossible.
And even after you enter your Google account, you need to install at least one application (and therefore activate the wifi) to see the Google app in the list "My applications".
Other than that, it's more stable than my previous installation, and just for that: thank you!

Good guide, I successfully installed Nougat on my Tab 10.1. following your steps. Very smooth. BTW, I didn't install any Gapps son I can't provide any feedback about it. I can say overclocking to 1400 Mhz seems pretty stable on my unit.
Regarding the non-NEON issue, I found this guy built a relatively recent Firefox 59 package compatible with our device. It's not the latest version, but it's better than what we had. It works fine for me.:good:
If you're interested the project is here:
https://github.com/schmaller/Fennec4Tegra2
I created a Moto Mod Battery Service App that Implements the Efficiency Mode and Moto Mod battery status. It is also opensource.
This is much more efficient than the Automate way of doing this. Automate had to loop and keep waking up the device.
This service only does stuff if the battery tells it something has changed and if a charger has been plugged in or unplugged.
Release Info:
Moto Mod Battery service for LineageOS 15.1
Version 1.0.1
Fixed charge bug, where charging would not stop after charging over night
Change High Trigger wording
Version 1.0
Features:
Status Notification:

Displays Moto Mod battery status
Icon: Shows capacity and short form of status
Efficiency Mode:
The ability to turn on and off efficiency mode
The ability to set when efficiency mode will trigger
The ability to set when to stop charging once the efficiency mode has been trigger
Self Start:
If running and package is reinstalled restart self
If Moto Mod battery has been ran once then on boot start up service
https://github.com/devilsclaw/MotoModBattery/releases/
Updated to Version 1.0.1
Thanks a lot. I've been using your APP with LineageOS for a few days and it seems to work pretty good. Great job. :good:
Can i ask you a few questions?
First of all. Why isn't this great APP integrated into the Lineage OS ROM?
Does the APP need root access all the time or just to change the settings? Each time the APP requests root access, an icon (#) is shown in the "status bar". Sometimes this happens about 50 times in a row. The symbol (#) then flickers constantly. Is that normal? Is it perhaps better to install the APP as a system APP?
One thing, but that has nothing to do with your APP. Every time I reboot the Moto Z with the Power Pack installed, the phone thinks the external battery is the internal battery. Do you understand what I mean? No internal battery. Only a reboot without Power Pack fixes the problem. Is it maybe possible to fix this with your APP or more a LineageOS problem?
Sorry for my bad English. I am not a native speaker. Just school englisch.
I for one do not know why a similar app is not built into the stock linage rom.
After a certain version of android apps started requiring root access for certain battery status info. also to make any modifications to the power pack settings require root. I personally turned off the root icon indicator for the reason you mentioned above.
I custom built my ROM and added a toggle switch for the SU root indicator and turned it off. there is a file that can be manually edited that can turn it off also, but I forget what file that is.
This works only in lineage os? Or works in any other rom?
If other ROMs have support to the moto mods and have the same directory paths as linage for accessing there settings then it should work.
It should also work with newer versions of linage. unknown about older versions.

I forgot to mention i use LineageOS 16.
Thank you for your reply. I don't know if I want to deactivate the icon. I like to see if an App uses root but I think about it.
Yesterday I made a test and put your App in the system/app/ directory. In this case it turns into a System App. Right? I thought System Apps don't need root access because they are System Apps and system Apps have root anyway. I was wrong. My knowledge is to little .
But I have discovered some strange behavior. After changing your App into a System-App I could choose the "efficiency mode" in the original MotoMod App and I think there was more. I didn't tested it and now I'm a little bit annoyed about me, because the only thing i wanted yesterday was no root Icon and that didn't worked out. The rest I didn't care .
As a System App I had then problems to remove it. After deleting the directory in the system/app/ folder the Moto Z didn't recognized the PowerPack any more. I had to make a factory reset. My fault :crying:.
Is there a way to install it as a System App without the App asking for root? I want to integrate it in the LineageOS System.
Sorry for my ignorance/inexperience.
A system app can access certain information without root, but the app has to read and write to the /sys/kernel/debug sub system, the battery section does not need root but the moto mod section does, because the developers for the moto mod driver set the permission as such to require it. I made the app so that it would not need a custom linage build of the ROM with the permissions fixed.
I did make the program open source so you or anyone could modify it to not require root. I might have time to do it my self if it is possible as a system app to do.
Not sure if it's just me but the moto mod battery is charging phone no matter what setting... It's weird since even I turned off charge phone option in the original moto mod app in the lingeaos. It's still charging the phone ... It could be the system issue. I don't know. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!
Works really well for Moto Z Los 16. Thanks for the app.
No working
Not working efficiency mode in moto z2 force with lineageos 17.1 any solution?
I have been using this service installed on
lineage-15.1-20200211-UNOFFICIAL-albus.zip
lineage-17.1-20210224-UNOFFICIAL-albus.zip
with Magisk. The service runs fine on my on both ROMs.
However, since I used Magisk to give root access to the service, I now get a pop-up "Modo Mod Battery was granted Superused rights" every 60 second (I counted the interval) on the screen which is a bit annoying. I guess the service is called every 60 sec or so, and thus the root access is given every time?
Since the pop-up is from Magisk granting the Battery Mod Service the root access, I have just turned of all the notifications from the Magisk App, which works fine but maybe not the optimal way.
Any take on this?
