FAQ:

Q:

Which ROM and kernel you're using ?

A:

I am using Wanam ROM (latest version) and Siyah kernel (latest kernel also) CM10.1.3 and Dorimanx 9.41.

After trying all sort of ROM's I can say that the most stable and reliable ROM's are Samsung based ROM's.

I am now recommending CM10.1.3 stable ONLY!

Q:

After the tweaking and following your entire guide, does the UI will lag/Games will stuck or freeze/App will run slowly ?

A:

Regarding the

UI

you might feel a little lag (if you were using stock frequencies and voltages) or you might not feel any lag (depends on your launcher), If you install Nova Launcher and use it instead of the TW you won't feel any lag since the Nova launcher is code efficient.

Regarding the

apps

, you won't feel any lag unless it's a graphic app or design/CAD app (even this is questionable).

Regarding the

games

, you won't feel any lag in most of the games, I played a lot of games for example Dead Trigger/Galaxy on fire 2/Shadowgun/Samuraio II and few more, I didn't feel any lag or what so ever, though I did feel that the loading steps took 1-2 more minutes.

Q:

The most used (or 2nd) most used service/app in BBS is 'AuidoOut', how can I minimize it ?

A:

You can minimize the 'Audioout' by unticking: 'System settings -> Sound' , under System, untick them all.

Plus, in the same window click on "Vibration intensity' and put 'Vibrate on screen tap' on the lowest (0).

Q

: I keep getting "Shell have been granted superuser permissions" over and over again and it drains my battery, is there a solution ?

A

: It's a known problem with SuperUser, install SuperSU give it root permissions via superuser, go to app info of superuser hit "Force Close" and afterwards hit "Disable", now SuperSU will handle your root privilege.

Q:

I froze Secphone.apk and now I am having weird issues what should I do ?

A:

Obviously you're an idiot since I specifically wrote next to SecPhone.apk: If you're using a

different launcher

rather than TW you can freeze it.

So don't freeze Secphone.apk if you are using TouchWiz launcher which is the official launcher by Samsung.

Q:

How can I tell if my phone is going into Deep sleep and activates the setCPU profiles ?

A:

In setCPU go to 'Info' tab and tap 'Time In State', you will find a pie chart, if your a common user-that most of the time his screen is off-, you should see that 200mhz has the biggest chunk, if it's not the case then check BBS what is waking your device.

Q:

After installing Gemini App Manager I am unable to install/uninstall any app, what should I do ?

A:

You are probably using Screen Filter app, for some reason the install button become unresponsive, disable Screen Filter when you need to install something and enable it again afterwards - Thanks Ryther.

Q

: How can I solve BBS wakelocks on the go ?

A

: Get in here.

Also, if you have EventLog wakelocks here is the solution:

Download System Tuner. open the app and go to 'Startups' and look for 'Google service framework' and over there disable both 'checkin.EventLogService'.

Be advice EventLogService wakelocks only happens with stock Samsung ROMS.

More to follow.
[Galaxy S II General] gb.yolo:
Great work dude. You gave me some good tips :)
[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
Thank you for your positive feedback.
[Galaxy S II General] Mittaa:
Thanks

I can confirm getting about 3~4 hours of screen time at most during 16~24 hours of usage.

I noticed you wrote something about SetCPU working on stock kernel ... in my experience it does not work even if some people claims so.

SetCPU might be able to change between a limited amount of Governors, but setting Min and Max doesn't work even it looks so (I used some other tool to confirm this). I only tried this on rooted Stock GB, but I think it will be the same on ICS.
[Galaxy S II General] Ben101:
Does this work on jb rom?
[Galaxy S II General] soso_soso:

Thanx
[Galaxy S II General] lilithlol:

[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
Thank you for confirming though you could get more.

and I didn't say what you wrote, I specifically wrote:

I didn't try with JB, but I'd love if you could follow each step and report back with results, in my opinion it should be the same.

Thank you for the feedback, please do try all the steps and report back for success.
[Galaxy S II General] trikpa:
great tutorial, thank you for your effort! ;)

I followed the steps but I can't find this one in LBE security:

"c.After your done go to the first window (swipe your finger right to go to the first screen)

d.Choose 'Speed boost -> Auto-Start' you will see all the apps that will be put in the cached process EVERY restart you make to your phone, now, this is very important, I only say it once, if you see an app/game that you don't even use or use once a week 'Disallow' it, but if you see an app/game that you use most of the time leave it as it is, why ? Obviously you didn't read step number 1.

"
[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
Thank you for your positive feedback, please do come back with results and post them here.

As you can see in the picture, this is the first screen you see when you open up LBE,2nd raw is 'Speed Boost' just click it and it will show you new buttons, there you choose 'Auto-Start.

EDIT:

I have added pictures to the main thread for most of the steps and marked in red the specific step.
[Galaxy S II General] trikpa:
I got confused because in my app it says phone accelerate instead of speed boost :)

anyway, I'm using these mods since this morning so it is too early to say anything factual about battery life, but I think it is much better...

usually I would have about 60 or less % left at this time of day...
[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
Perhaps you downloaded even newer version than mine but I can see you figured it out.

If you used to get 60% and now it's 76%, of course this is an amazing change.

Don't forget to check your screen time before you charge it and make sure it's minimum 3 hours (

if

the total up-time is

above

24 hours).

If you did follow all the steps and did everything as I wrote, I suggest to get into Recovery mode -> Advance -> and reset battery indicators.

or wait 1-2 charges and the battery meter is supposed to acclimate.
[Galaxy S II General] MrMarques01:
Well is that so?
[Galaxy S II General] Kigsuha:
Nice thread, but Gemini app manager block on "updating information" sometimes :x
[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
I saw really few users like your self that actually got that time, but I had never got more then 3.5-4 hours max screen time on uptime for more then 24 hours.

I even did EXACTLY what these users told me with their exact config (from 3 different users) but again, I got only 3.5-4 hours screen time max.

So this is

my

conclusion.

Thank you.

Yea that's an annoying bug that is happening from time to time.

Just exit the app and open it again.
[Galaxy S II General] Kigsuha:
I found solution, it only happens when after taping "config autorun (root)" and switching fast thing to off.

So i have to wait :cyclops:
[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
Sometimes you just wait for too long but if you have patience for that..

Hyperbolic,

I figured out the Siyah kernel is only for the international S3 not the I535 S3. I recently changed over to PureMotive's Galaxy Mod RLS14.1 with the Faux Ultimate Kernel and took some baseline stats at install after a couple of cycles they are below. Next I will take some stats following your guide best I can with the kernel I have and see what I get. Although what I am getting seems to pretty good.

dude this really helps me alot in my s2 i1900... hope that you update this one since siyah has new kernels and some additional tweaks have been added..maybe you have some nice ideas about this additional tweaks to save up more juice..:D cheers..!
[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
Your stats look pretty good, I'd even say amazing!

It seems that you don't have any wakelocks but of course a dump file from BBS will tell that.
[Galaxy S II General] shadowrelic:
Not sure a picture is even necessary....

After a reboot only necessary apps are running on the phone. After using the phone for a day or so, if you go back into the running apps list you will see apps such as:

Facebook

Maps

Browser

ScoreCenter (espn)

[*} Etc.

I'm curious if you (or anyone on reading this for that matter) has found a good way to regularly shut these down these apps without a task killer. My phone runs AWESOME after reboot now that I have configured autoruns, and when it gets slow I've been using LBE's one-click widget (which is essentially the same as any task killer on the market) to speed it back up to full speed.

I'm by no means fully educated on SuperCharger or minfree, which both (what I've gathered so far) appear to be ways to modify how android's internal task killer works. The issue is that android's task killer only works when the system runs out of memory, and I would prefer to stop these apps if I haven't used them in the last hour or so. A task killer will force stop these and NOT throw them in the cache. Android's internal task killer appears to ALWAYS cache closed apps. See where I'm going? If there was a task killer that CACHED apps instead of force closing them, wouldn't it be better for overall battery life? Wouldn't that make this "task-cacher" good, where "task killers" remain almost-always a bad thing?

Thanks!

P.S. My Battery Life is already AWESOME.... now I'm just going deeper down the rabbit hole! I encourage you to keep this guide up-to-date and noob-friendly so the next guy like me can share the benefits!!! :)
[Galaxy S II General] kpavl01:
I use gemini and lbe security but they seem to do the same thing. Not allow apps to boot by itself or open by itself. And ram is great when i boot.

Whenever i open an app that i use once a day or once a few days it always caches that app on ram. Should it be like that? I expected gemini to close them and remove from cached if i make everything off....
[Galaxy S II General] Donnie Sins:
A while ago I posted here before. I've tried Siyah and tried this UV/UC-methods (and other ones), but somehow it never worked for me.

Now I'm on Neatrom XWLPY 4.0.4 (I prefer ICS) with Phenomenal kernel (Normal), and this rom/kernel in combination with your advices about Gemini, LBE, brightness levels and everything else is just perfect. Never had this kind of battery life before, and it's rockstable.

Here are some screenshots. I always have 3G on (this screenshots are from night time), no extra UC or whatsoever, no Power Saving mode. The little wakelocks are from 2 Whatsapp-messages and a received email;)

[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
Regarding the Apps:

Facebook - see This link.

Maps - If you aren't using it, freeze it via TB, otherwise get use to it.

Browser - if you frequently open the stock browser it is possible that Android OS will put it in the running services, otherwise provide a BBS log.

ScoreCenter is an app by ESPN which (of course) misbehaving, unless you use this app as a widget disable all its triggers and it won't open unless you open it.

Couldn't find Etc app. ;)

If you are using one-click widget/Task Killer I am truly sorry but you're an idiot because you obviously didn't read the guide.

And no, I don't see where you are going regarding "Android's internal task killer appears to ALWAYS cache closed apps", again

YOU DIDN'T READ THE GUIDE

, you obviously just scrolled to the relevant app links downloaded and installed.

P.S.

All the answers you are looking for are...wait for it... in the guide. please read and come back with real solid questions.

One last thing, it seems that you aren't even CLOSE to the depths of the rabbit hole...

LBE (one of its functions) - disables auto start or apps that goes directly into the cache memory.

Gemini app - disables triggers that causes apps to go into the cache AFTER you used the phone for sometime even though you didn't start this aap, in other words, apps won't misbehave.

NOTICE: Gemini app doesn't close apps that are in the cache process, I have already explained why and what in the guide.

Regarding your last question, yes, it should be like that this is the whole beauty about Android OS - It is well written in the guide which you obviously didn't read it thoroughly -

Looks good and I am glad I could help.

It looks you have some wakelocks, you should monitor them via BBS and get even better results.

With your battery I could get x2 better results from what I have now ! :D

That's my battery life today.

- Brightness at the medium level.

- wifi and mobile data active all the time (alternate)

My settings are don't on the maximum level. Gemini app manager and LBE are not totally configure. And I like it. I can prolong more, it's my first result and I like it.

I'm on siyah 6b4.

Thank you very much for this extensive and wonderful write-up!

I did the Gemini App Manager and LBE just right now

I want to confirm with the ROM/kernel developer whether the governing of cpu/voltage is supported by his room first before I tackle that step.

quick question, will LBE always be running?

meaning, that icon on the upper left will always stay there? Also, the will the "LBE security master is protecting... " data figure always show up in my notification screen?

Was just curious, that's all

Many thanks, once again :)
[Galaxy S II General] dwie:
I'm sorry to ask such a retarded question, but I am really new to all this stuff. In Gemini App Manager, I still have a hard time to "recognize" which apps I can turn the autorun off. Does this mean I can turn it off for Contacts since I only times I need it I will click on it anyways? Do I turn messaging apps (facebook messenger, whatsapp etc.) off too? Doesn't it affect other programs might be connected with it (ie facebook and messenger). Thanks in advance and again sorry for the noobness here!

EDIT: I might have done something stupid... I turned off autorun for "Settings" and now everytime I reboot it says "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped". Turning it back on also doesn't help. Any ideas?

freezing is safe and good way to check if u need need that element or not (i removed almost all frozen apps - excluding google maps and stock browser ;P)
[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
Glad you like the guide.

For your questions,

Yes, LBE will always be running (it barely affect the battery).

Regarding your 2nd question, do you mean the notification you keep getting on every action you make ? you can disable it in the settings of LBE.

Please read carefully, it is written regarding which app you can or can't turn off, you don't have to be a noob or an Android freak to control these actions, all you need is understanding English (regarding the guide) and logic.

You really need to think about what you did there, turning off settings, for example BT or WiFi is connected to settings and of course many other services so turning those triggers off will of course mess up your system.

Basically, don't turn off triggers for system apps.

Here's a quick riddle for you guys, after you freeze Gtalk and given you have BBS installed, you will see gtalk still waking up your phone (in BBS), even though you froze it :D

Hello, in STweaks when I uv my cpu by -100mV it runs ok, so I was interested what is his minimum.

Followed number 5. on your tutorial and on 200 MHz and 600mV my phone doesn't freeze or reboot.

Why is that? haha.

There isn't more after 600mV, i ran stress test for 5 minutes, and StabilityTest for 10 and it doesn't do anything.
[Galaxy S II General] bogdan1980:
Re: [Guide][Tweaks] The Complete Guide For Maximum Battery Life V2.0 - Updated 3.3.13

Stabilitytest is crap. Try camera app, make screenshots and record.

Then, play nfs most wanted 30minute, or gta3.

Play an high quality video bluray demo.

My cpu is 100% stable at - 25uv, and wife at - 50uv....

That mean 900-950mv at 200mhz, 1.275mv at 1.2ghz.

Any lower then that, restarts, maybe 1 restart per week, or sometime per day....

You are 100 stable after 2-3 month of playing powerfull games, and doing alot on phone.

[Galaxy S II General] kpavl01:
Ty, but something is not right, I can't crash my phone anyhow.

Kernel and rom in signature, i uv every step (200-1000) to 600mV, run stability test, take picture, everything works ok. That is not possible in my opinion.

EDIT: Rebooted and on boot logo i got freeze. Rebooted again and it went fine. but I lost 30% battery.

When booted SetCPU showed same values like before , 500 min 500 max , changed that to 200-1000. Voltages were ok.

Something is wrong, very wrong.

On Dorimanx i can't uv more than 50 mV.
[Galaxy S II General] bogdan1980:
Re: [Guide][Tweaks] The Complete Guide For Maximum Battery Life V2.0 - Updated 3.3.13

Oh, and i forgot, freeze at bootlogo,, to much uv.... :)

We need an tool like Prime95 for Pc to test cpu overclock.

I see s2 from 2011 may that use 1.200v at 1.500mhz......golden cpu

Uv is good for temps, mine - 25mv has 75c, wife - 50mv has 69c....with her i could play hours and hours and cpu stay at high clocks.

Regarding dorimanx oc/uv, its because JB, that one stress cpu/gpu more then ICS.....

If i use ics/dorimanx, i could uv - 50 pn mine. On JB, only - 25.

Jb use acceleration, vsync even on launcher, this stress cpu more then on Ics.

[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
It is impossible to undervolt under 800mv, it seems that you have a problem with your kernel.

You are correct when you wait for your phone to freeze and it doesn't, because the changes are instantly in other words, no need to restart the phone in order to see any change, StabilityTest is doing a great job to set the minimum undervolt/overclock but in your case it can't.

1. Which ROM & kernel you have ?

2. Try Fix permission.

3. If fix permission doesn't work flash the kernel again (Wipe cache & dalvik before the flash).
[Galaxy S II General] kpavl01:
1. RootBox with modded Siyah v5 vsync. The only kernel that doesn't give me wlan wakelocks. Changed to Dorimanx yesterday night and i got the wlan wakes again.

2. I can't right now because I changed kernel....but I have a restore point from yesterday so I could do that.

3. I always wipe cache and dalvik and use kernel wipe from hawkerpaul or i use ultimate kernel cleaning script+hawkerpauls.

Nobody knows how to fix wlan wake, it is associated to CM kernel I think and Siyah v5 vsync is the only kernel that doesn't give me that wakelock and I was very happy with it, until that....

I could do this: restore my backup to yesterday, reflash kernel with wiping cache, dalvik cache and fixing permissions (but i do that every time)?
[Galaxy S II General] hyperbolic:
Try that and tell me how it goes.

It is already written in the FAQ so I'll just copy&paste it for you, regarding your ROM:

The best one around is Wanam (4.2.1), with the combination of latest Siyah V6 b5 kernel you won't have any problem ever again.
[Galaxy S II General] kpavl01:
But i really like this rom haha. Thanks anyway (used my 8 thanks a day-will thank when i configure my tapatalk)

About my problem, how to best check if things are working? How to make it reboot or freeze fastest? I don't want to configure everything and see the problem again.

I just did a clean install using nuke script, flashing rom, cleanin cache, dalvik and fixing premissions and flashing kernel.

EDIT: 200min-200max and voltage 825 doesn't reboot or freeze, running stability test for 5 minutes.

Tried 700, froze my phone, YESSS!! Haha, thank you for your effort about this tutorial.

I would rather suggest Autostarts instead of Gemini and in Autostarts to make After Boot or After Startup reciever unchecked on every app that we don't want to boot instead having LBE (just tried that yesterday and i will check how it works)

And also, Greenify. If you would like we could talk through pm about these options because battery is main factor to me. I also have nice STweaks config that you could try.
