Thanks buddy... help is always well-come...

the only bloatwares in the CM or any other ROM is usually some of the following but still depends on if you use them or not...

to name a few...

google android keyboard(I use swift key)- it wakes up google play services a lot...

bluetoothtest

com.android.providers.partnerbookmarks

com.android.sharedstoragebackup

NFC test

vpndialogs

google voice

google play

google play sound search

I think there're west system apps more than these lists that we never use them in daily life or forever ignore them. :silly:

Let's find out.
[Galaxy S III General] Chaitanyapatel8880:
I actually tried most of them but they are required for the rom to work properly without any force closes or freezes. but still if you find out any let me know and I will try and put it in first post... :):good:

An important thing that make someone's device drain their battery is "Live Wallpaper". And try to use dark wallpaper picture, because of more light picture and light things are consume too many current(battery) that flowing in Our SuperAMOLED.
[Galaxy S III General] xclub_101:
A few things

1. It would be nice to have some objective and repeatable numbers to compare things - and the easiest way would be to have the (standard) battery discharge over night. To get a reliable number the value must be the average over 2-3 nights at least. That is a very accurate reflection of the degree of battery-related optimizations in the kernel + ROM + apps that you are using. The results depend on all the 3 elements (kernel + ROM + apps ) but are very relevant for YOUR configuration.

2. Contrary to what a lot of ignorant people will try to tell you, with a very knowledgeable and fine-tuned configuration the numbers above ARE comparable between types of ROMs / kernels / configurations (read up to the very end on this post to see why/how).

3. The optimal configuration that I have with a Sammy ROM (Omega 43.6) + Googy Max dual-boot kernel (plus some of the Samsung bloatware, but a lot of it is frozen with Titanium Backup and the rest is subject to Greenify) results in about 2% battery discharge over night with the phone registered on the network (so I can get phone calls) but without cellular data or WiFi. In this configuration I also have power-saving ON and I leave GPS and NFC enabled (see below). I also keep some Google apps/services frozen but that is your own choice. The configuration described is pretty much my standard configuration for all the time, not just at night.

4. Different tests on different AOSP/AOKP/CM ROMs have resulted in wildly different results mostly in the range 10%-20% over night.

5. IMPORTANT thing for AOSP/AOKP/CM ROMs - certain parts of the system are (at least at the date of this post) optimized in a different way than in Sammy 4.1.2 ROMs - for instance in a lot of places you will read that GPS and NFC are draining your battery, that is TRUE for AOSP/AOKP/CM but surprisingly not such a drain on Sammy!

6. I believe there still is a similar problem on AOSP/AOKP/CM with the CP / cellular modem - sometimes the drain over night is very large after you get or place a phone call, but it is much smaller if you "just rebooted".

With 5) and 6) taken into account currently my best result on Omega AOKP v10 and the exact same kernel as above with Sammy (GoogyMax) (and with pretty much everything OFF and with the CP / cellular modem "freshly booted") results in about 3% battery discharge over night - a value that is reasonably similar to the 2% that I get on Sammy, BUT seems to depends on the CP / cellular modem status - which is a major deal killer (unlike GPS OFF and NFC OFF that are just minor stuff).

However I just moved to the latest Omega AOKP v11 and I will post more results in a few days/weeks.
[Galaxy S III General] Chaitanyapatel8880:
Thank you for you post. Most of the problems of battery drain can be taken care by just following tips and tricks that I have collected and put it together. The only problrms that does battery drain and no body can do anything(at least right now) is the cp/cell modem, but the devs are working very hard to fix it. Lets hope for the fix.

I have posted this thread after getting almost same results for a week with 3 different roms...

Nice post, I'll try a few of these...

I would consider anything under a day as very bad battery...

When I was using Chaos-ROM v8.1 (4.1.2) I was getting 4 days battery life, well 3 as I would charge when the battery hit 25%; But every ROM since I can only get a day or two days from..

My usual setup is:

juice defender ultimate,

overclocked to 1600Mhz,

undervolting about 100mv-125mv,

drop ~50mv on GPU and ~50mv on int & ext memory

greenify donate,

Android-tweaker, set for battery life.

Pegasus 36.3

I don't know what it is about Chaos ROM but there must be something in the ROM that keeps the phone in deep sleep...

On CM 11 kitkat at the moment, thought I was going to get 2 days from a full charge, but some wakelock just sucked 35% battery in about 2 hours!! :(
[Galaxy S III General] darkchronicle:
Thanks for tips!! It helped me a lot :good:
[Galaxy S III General] romabr:

[Galaxy S III General] 213182:
hi i'm also unable to find google contact sync,cell broadcast etc to greenify.please let me know where can i find them,does the same kernel configuration works for boeffla kernel?
[Galaxy S III General] Chaitanyapatel8880:
after installing greenify donation app, open greenify and go to option>experimental features and check all of the tick marks and reboot the phone... than you will be able to see all of those apps. and the kernel config works with any kernels...
[Galaxy S III General] alcitron:
very useful tip appreciated Capt.
[Galaxy S III General] Chaitanyapatel8880:

[Galaxy S III General] procaptain:
and also if we had battery drain and we dont know what is the reason , we can check it by battery stats application. if any application prevents phone to pass deep sleep, we can check its settings etc.

[Galaxy S III General] Kapiljhajhria:
You don't need xblast tools to chnage those two settings. You can use android tuner for that. Just an alternate for people who don't use xposed. It can be done by android tuner app. Or any buildprop editor. You can reduce the no. Of app to achieve this. I am researching /trying everything me tioned here and will give my output soon.
[Galaxy S III General] rick james b1tch:
Thanks for all the info much improved battery life.
[Galaxy S III General] ayoubij:
How to do it with build.prop editer
[Galaxy S III General] Kapiljhajhria:
what i think xblast does it adds one line for that mode in buil.prop file.

becasue before using xblast tool pm.sleep mode was not showing up in any build.prop editor that i have installed

but after xblas t tools it was shwing in buildprop editor

so i searched and found this

you can have a look it will give you pretty good idea of what else you can do with build.prop

link 1

link 2

check both links. its not for S3 but as far as i know build.prop works the same way as on every other phone.

use a root explorer to edit build.prop file and add that extra line

or use build.prop editor from play store and add extra line

i uninstalled xblast because its some of the features were conflicting with ROM features. in short it was not working for me.
[Galaxy S III General] Chaitanyapatel8880:
Actually

ROM Tool Box

is also a great and easy way to edit the build.prop. One could also try wanam xposed for other features than build.prop. It is also a great module...
[Galaxy S III General] ayoubij:
Im using wanam module but how can i save battery using it? :p
[Galaxy S III General] Chaitanyapatel8880:
With wanam one can only customize the phone. It does not have battery savings features

[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Strange,as I can get 4 hrs of screen time without any of these tweakings. With Mobile data,Sync on and etc.

Using Temasek CM11,Googy max kernel and no matter which governor (except powersave and performance),I always get the same results. Anyways,it's always like that no matter which ROM and Kernel,lol.

I always managed to get 4 hrs easily in stock ROMs,same goes to AOSP ROMs.
[Galaxy S III General] 2014rokas:
charging @1300mA?!

charging [MENTION=4724277]1300[/MENTION]mA? is this still safe? i dont think so. plenty of kernel creators warn if using values over 1000+mA. whats the use of having this tweaked and your battery life? i understand charging your phone MAY be faster but you could short the battery life with this one. there should be a warning for this setting.
[Galaxy S III General] Andr3y29:
And how much do you get with those settings ?
[Galaxy S III General] Chaitanyapatel8880:
It is safe I am charging at 1300 to 1400 since last 1 and a half year already. And my s3 battery is still rocking... ;)
[Galaxy S III General] Andr3y29:
If you are in a hurry, you can charge it higher (I have never gone more than 1500-1600, thought you can charge it up to 2000). If you charge it overnight , I reccomend you to charge it at 175-200mAh. It depends on how much you sleep :D . Strange, but this givea me like 1h more ScreenONTime. Placebo ? Lighter use in that days ? I don't know. But when I charge it overnight this is what I do. And it also does not stress the battery.
[Galaxy S III General] Chaitanyapatel8880:
Actually it does gives a batter batterylife. I read somewhere that it does something with charge particles or some s**t... :p
[Galaxy S III General] AssassinGEO:
Haven't tried them.

Ofc it does,man. With slow charge,battery is relaxed. I charge mine with old samsung charger which gives only 700mA and battery really lasts longer. Already tested it and confirmed.
[Galaxy S III General] Chaitanyapatel8880:
It actually is confirmed but I just dont know much in details how does li-ion battery works as compared to ni-cd.
[Galaxy S III General] Sir_gpm:

[Galaxy S III General] Tonny73:
Very helpful thread, thanks for your efforts! (yes, I've pressed the buton ;))

My experience shows that if you hibernate the "Google account manager", there is no service to wake it up. The result is that Google is missing in Settings -> Accounts and wouldn't be synchronized. So my advice is to not greenify it unless you don't use it.

[Sprint LG Optimus G] tlxxxsracer:
Currently running Lifeless 14. I'm wanting to try the optimus 4.3

I do a backup, download the new rom. I wipe 3 times (cache, system, data, and dalvik). and even do a factory reset. Then flash the new rom.

Upon doing so I try to boot up but sits at the LG logo screen.

I tried redownloading the rom thinking there was an error. Same result

I also tried not wiping data for the hell. The flash was unsuccessful.

My only thought was a long time ago I tried AOSP but switched back to stock. Does this affect my issue possibly? IF so, how can i fix it without doing a complete wipe (including internal storage).
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] vic6888:
Hi,

I'm not sure if this is the correct forum to ask this. But since the members visiting this sub-forum might have better idea of android tv box/stick i am putting forward my query here.

My requirements are 24/7 torrenting and playing movies in Sony FHD TV.. I don't care much about playing games or browsing in TV..

is there any android stick/box (preferably around $80) which can play high bitrate full hd movies without any hiccups while simultaneously downloading torrents? or am i better off with a raspberry pi??
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] BlobLobba:
I have a Ugoos UT1 and I'm happy with that, I also picked up the stick version that is the UM2. I spent quite a bit of time checking out the Pi's and I found their raw power to be way too little for things like 3D gaming or 1080p playback. Good little devices, but I prefer the Quad Core units such as the ones I mentioned above. A new box is coming out called the Ugoos UT2 which is also looking good.

For installing custom firmwares, tweeking and maybe configuring the device via scripts and so on, then maybe the Pi will have more of a larger community with more projects. But for the items you've highlighted the Pi wouldn't be very suitable. Please correct me if I'm wrong Pi owners,
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] vic6888:
from what i have read Pi is pretty good as a media playback device but i'm not sure whether it can handle torrenting and media playback simultaneously.. one of my room mate has got a Pi.. will have to test it this weekend and see if it holds up well for my requirement..
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] BlobLobba:
One option could be to get two low price sticks, use one for torrent and one for media playback. Using media sharing to access the files between them. In that configuration I would suggest a UM2 and a Pi :)
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] vic6888:
that is also an option.. hearing rumors that Android 4.4 will bring a new UI for TV. Are these sticks upgradeable??
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] BlobLobba:
Well I think regarding 4.4 upgradability, I imagine the first possibility of that maybe via custom ROM. I checked out the stock firmware updates for the Ugoos regularly, as I have the UT1 and UM2. Let's wait and see what they release.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] madcow_mda:
I have an android stick (MK908, quad-core 2GB RAM) and a Raspberry Pi. In terms of movie playback, the RPi is far superior due to better software support. The XBMC software is much more mature on the RPi.

I have no experience on the RPi with torrents, but I leave that to my NAS. An android stick's hardware is more powerful, so I guess it'll be better for torrenting. That being said, I use Openelec for my RPi and it comes with a transmission add-on for torrenting, so I assume it'll work ok.

Anyway, if movies are the main focus, definately go for an RPi and find another solution for torrenting if the RPi is not sufficient.

my setup:

A NAS for media storage and downloading

RPi with Openelec for media
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] mad_sunday:
I had a Pi, to be honest it was bloody hard work. My MK808 is MUCH better at everthing. It plays 720p perfectly (I don't bother with 1080p) it downloads torrents running Ttorrent and I can plug my 1Tb hard drive (passport) directly into it without a hub!

The Pi was a pain compared to the MK808, the 908 should be even better.

Pete
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] madcow_mda:
I believe the 808 received much better support than the 908 does.

I think (custom) developer support is essential for setting up a working system.

Yeah, I'd be interested in this too. I have a Kaiboer F4 (same box different name).

[Android Stick & Console Computers General] Kevi754:
Erm...what? Just flash OpenELEC on a SD and be done with it basically. H.264 videos play perfect out of the box for me even 1080p isn't any problem at all. The Pi is much better at playing videos (exception of DivX but who uses that anymore) than any Stick could be in my opinion.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] vic6888:
Have you tried playing movies which are more than 8GB? how does Pi performs for those movies? And can i run transmission or any other torrenting software if i use OpenELEC ??
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] mad_sunday:
It was just so unreliable due I suspect to the ****ty USB implementation. I tried OpenElec (and several others) but I could never get it to work as I wanted it (and I've been running Linux on my PC's for 10 years). I threw it in the bin once I'd got the Android stick plugged in. The MK808 is faster, more reliable, easier to setsetup, and works perfectly with my USB 1TB hard drive without a hub (try that with a Pi). I find the video playback far superior too using MX player without having to cough money for codecs that you need for the Pi.

Pete
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] Cluesade:
You should probably use the pi as a 244/7 torrent box and the android mini pc as a game/ video player. Its way easier to use the pi as a cheap, power efficient torrent while not wasting processing power from the android on something like that. Thats what I do and it works great!

[Android Stick & Console Computers General] CRizziR:
These quadcore tv sticks seam to die because of poor thermal design. I have bought a T-R42 (like CS918/K-R42 but with bluetooth) and I'm going to run an Ubuntu on this box.

I don't mind the RPi and actually I have one and I like it but keep in mind that you get only 512MB of memory and a 700MHz single core while you get 2GB of memory and a 1.6GHz quad core on these rk3188 tv boxes/sticks.

Also keep in mind that you might need a case, a power adapter and a wifi-stick for the pi which might cost you at least additional 25$ while this was all included in the T-R42 box I got and which sells now at 80$ including shipping from some chinese sellers (I payed 90€ and got it from a local seller).

One big advantage of the RPi is that there have been millions of them sold and there exists a vast community.

cheers

Hi guys,

Sorry for pushing an old topic back up, but my question is related, hence no point starting a new topic. I want to get portable setup, where I can plugin a device to a tv and watch at least 720p movies and catchup services such as BBC iplayer, ITV catchup, 4oD, 5 on demand.

Since this topic is about 6 months old and assuming newer devices have been releases, what device can you highly recommend and would all the catchup services work on it?
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] vEEGAZ:
I'm interested in this one too. As far as I could read from some threads on the web is that if you want to turn your thing on 24/7 then Raspberry Pi is the best choice while the chinese Android sticks will burn in 3 or 4 months. The Android sticks can give you double power for the same cost of the Raspberry Pi though.
[Android Stick & Console Computers General] lostinthecity:
I had a Raspberry Pi and several Android boxes and I really like the Android boxes much better. The Pi was kind of a pain whereas Android is easy to work with especially after a device is rooted. I gave my Pi to a friend a while back and have been solely and happily Android since then.
