Glad I could help.

Autostarts looks more or less like Gemini but Autostarts isn't free, and they are both doing the same job.

Please come back when you're done with your tests and share your results with us.

I will come back after few days with my configuration and everything.

Does SetCPU need to bee running all the time or I can Greenify it or disable it to open when boot is finished?

I think that i can disable him from opening when boot is competed because once he makes something you cant erase it by closing app, but i want to be sure.
[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
If you aren't using setCPU why even bother to install it in the first place ?

If you are using it, don't disable anything regarding this app.

I got a problem. Think its my WiFi.

I'm using ICS. But I'm sure my home WiFi is draining my WiFi same on jellybean

Through the night am losing over 20% battery without phone being used that's in about 5-7 hrs.

When am away from my home WiFi battery drain is 1% maybe once a hour.

Thanks. Getting 12 hours on and 4 hours screen time.
[Galaxy S II General] Name.:
Hey dude. I'm gonna be honest this hasn't improved my battery ALOT, but thanks for the guide. Anyway I have a few problems, when I'm at work it goes down 25% in 6 hours (all the time the phone screen is off, but network connections are still on) and I get around 14 hours of battery life in, which in my opinion is not that good, considering 6 hours of that is idle. On my old BB I had it lasting for around a day and half.

my main issue is that i know people with s2's who don't change anything on their device and get 2 days easily in with there phone.

i know people with iphone 4's that have amazing battery. I had gone down 20% and the iphone 4 had gone down 10% during the same time and usage, pretty appaling because of my efforts to make the battery better. I'm on MCM on siyah 5 which is meant to have a good battery life, apparently siyah 4 has better battery, so i'll give that a go now. thanks, i'll attach a munchie.
[Galaxy S II General] kpavl01:
14 hours on battery and 6 hours idle, that gives you 8 h screen on time haha. JK.

Go to BBS thread (read first page of this thread too see what is that), follow the instrucions on first page of BBS thread.
[Galaxy S II General] Name.:
Hey, thanks for replying.

yeah i tried removing the wakelocks, there were hardly any.

i'm gonna try moving to neatrom with siyah kernel v6, apparently you can get 2days+ out of this. i'll post back what happens.

Decided to stay on cm10.1 with siyah 4 though, didn't like neatrom, it was 4.1.2 :(

Hi,

I'm currently on the Gemini App Manager step, but I have a simple (maybe stupid) question; If I disable all instances in Autorun configuration of an app, will the app also stop giving notifications?

Also, can I disable the stock Messaging app, live wallpaper app and stock launcher in Titanium Backup? I assume I can do messaging because there is an sms service running, but I'm not sure on the launcher...
[Galaxy S II General] Acid0057:
Thanks for the guide. Its awesome and now I can squeak out a little more battery life on my phone before charging.

-Acid0057
[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
1. Yes, if you disable all triggers of autorun in Gemini app the app won't be able to autostart thus no notifications.

2. You can try to freeze stock sms app and see what happens imo you won't be able to get sms msgs.

3. Of course you can freeze live wallpaper.

Glad you like the guide, please come back and share your results with us.

Thanks for letting me know that GetRil doesn't work on other mobile phones.

Since I am unfamiliar with other Android phones I can't help you with this issue, the user hawkerpaul made an intense research for SGS2 users by combing MODEM with the correct RIL, the only thing left for us is to flash the file.

I bet in other threads in XDA you can find the correct MODEM + RIL for your specific phone.

I'll try to look for a global solution for this step, but I am pretty sure that every phone is something else.

Just do all the steps you want to do with the app a little slower. I've noticed Gemini hangs a lot if I clicked things right after another.

May I suggest SystemCleanup by as a free alternative to GeminiAppManager. It seems to offer similar services.

Also, users of >= cm-10.1 (at least on GalaxyS2 i9100) must be warned NOT TO USE GetRIL, because they have a new open source ril library and GetRIL will break this.

Do you keep "Active defense" on? (LBE).

It seems to drain battery. I was wondering about properly denying the permissions I want, disabling auto-starting apps I don't use and then disable Active defense.
[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
Thank you for your feedback.

Please come back and report your results.

1. Of course 'Active Defense' is on, it's the whole purpose: Active defense controls the whole permissions of each app.

2. Active Defense can't drain your battery since its actions are taking place ONLY if an app is trying to do something such as going online or getting your location, thus Active Defense is depending on the other apps. - You can always check BBS app and see that there are no processes that are LBE related.

3. I am not sure about "disabling auto-starting apps I don't use and then disable Active defense", since I am not sure if the permissions you disabled will STILL take place AFTER you disable Active Defense, you can try it though and report back if it's still working. I am not sure it will.

Yea I know some users fake their up-time and screen time to look sophisticated but I know 100% that you can't get more then 3.5-4 hours screen time above 24 hours-more than a day.

Regarding the thread you posted,

It looks good I even found a link I was looking for a long time: here

But it's old regarding the apps he is suggesting and his steps aren't thorough for the common Android user, plus I took my time to explain how Android OS works and why to do the steps I suggested-so I am giving the user the choice and discretion, I remember I wanted to root my device at first I just wanted to know what is root and then decide if I need it or not.

great guide!

i have a question regarding Gemini App, do you suggest to turn off all commands in the autorun config for apps that i rarely use? is there any page somewhere that explains what each commands do actually? i know that there's a brief explanation under each command, but sometimes it didn't explained very well.
[Galaxy S II General] gb.yolo:
Well, each command does what it says. For example, "On package removed" means that the app will run by itself (so it is not YOU opening that app, but the app itself) when a package is removed (app uninstalling). And so on :)
[Galaxy S II General] iJiB:
well, that explanation is clear. but sometimes there are some commands that doesn't give an exact explanation. example: IN_APP_NOTIFY, RECEIVE, RESPONSE_CODE, the explanation is just (Custom autorun condition). what i want to ask is: is it advisable to turn off this type of commands from gemini app?
[Galaxy S II General] gb.yolo:
Yes sometimes it's very difficult to understand custom autorun conditions, they have strange names. When I don't know what they mean, I disable them and launch the application, and then try to understand how the application behaves differently from before.

This is my way.

Also comes in my mind that I would read the wiki of the application and see its related wakelocks but never tried it :)
[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
It all depends on the type of the app.

I gave a great example in the guide regarding the built in Alarm app.

Basically the idea is this:

If we are talking about an app that the whole very existence is to do things by it self (Playing songs/Setting alarms/Auto-commands apps) then of course we won't turn anything off.

But if we are talking about a type of apps that their whole process is to do something particularly which will take place only the we open the app (Bar-code scanner/Weather app/Shazam/Office apps/GPS apps so of course we will turn everything off.

If we are talking about ROOT apps so I suggest not to touch anything.

I will even add these explanations to the guide.
[Galaxy S II General] iJiB:
yeah, that's what i am doing right now, disabling them and open the app to see if it changes anything.

i didn't know that there's a wiki for the app, will try to search it.

thanks :)

---------- Post added at 08:53 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:59 PM ----------

i did understand your example in the first post. i was wondering if i should disable ALL commands for apps that i found not needed to autorun by itself. judging by your comment here, i think all should be turned off. thanks :)

Days I'm in college I get around 1.5-2 days up-time with 3-3.5 hours screen time.

Days I am off college I get around 1 day with 3.5-4 hours screen time since I use the device more frequently.
