[Moto G General] scott_doyland:
Yes, true. I guess a lot of people have just a handful of apps they use a lot though, and its more than likely, especially with RAM increasing on devices, that these few often used apps will always be in RAM already. Depends how the app is coded as well I guess.

I can see it may help for large apps, ie games, where a portion of the game is in RAM and as you progress in the game the next portion has to be loaded. It will make loading times quicker.

With the current speed of devices and the large RAM now available (and look to one or two years ahead and 1GB will be considered low) I wonder how much difference ART will really make especially to just the average user - I bet they wouldnt even notice. We may be able to see statistics telling us an app loads a few milliseconds quicker but in the real world how much difference will this make.

However Im in no way saying ART is not worth having, if it does save just a tiny bit of battery its maybe worth it as we all want our phone to last longer. Its just not as big a deal as some people seem to make out - in my opinion.
[Moto G General] 2hipso:
That test was because lot of people saying that battery has improved with ART.

I noticed that ART was little faster while loading the game (~0,5 sec) also when video comes in the end, Dalvik has little delay to show me the software buttons.
[Moto G General] eemgee:
I just tried it, couldn't feel much difference in speed, did see I chuck off my valuable 8gb of memory vanish. So I changed back!
[Moto G General] hoschi-air:
switched nearly immediately to ART after updating to KitKat, but what I really noticed to speed up was the recent apps drawer. Scrolling through windows was definitely faster. Only real downside for me is the ~10% greater storage demand... For my understanding using precompiled binaries kinda makes sense, but there are lots of really proficient threads here on the matter and most of them conclude that ART is the future.
[Moto G General] Medvosteri:
ART isn't an option for me yet, still like using xposed framework to much. Hopefully they will update that to ART sometime.
[Moto G General] ksuuk:
When switch back from ART to Dalvik, do I get this storage space back?
[Moto G General] hoschi-air:
Sure, Dalvik will use your RAM again instead... But why would you want to switch back? :D
[Moto G General] flibblesan:
Because on this phone there is no benefit in using ART over the Qualcomm optimized Dalvik runtime we have. And storage space is far more important to those with an 8GB device.
[Moto G General] hoschi-air:
Hmm, besides missing any evidence on the real performance of these libraries on the Moto G, I doubt they will be more than a short-term solution. >> Google pushing ART development

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong...
[Moto G General] debaj:
One thing against ART: it is in early developer preview state, so it is not recommended to use it on a daily use phone. It is not in the development menu by mistake. I know, I know, you did not encounter any issues yet. :)
[Moto G General] mike21pr:
Im switching to ART as soon as I get mine. Did wonders on my old Nexus 4
[Moto G General] eddvys:
For xposed to work with ART some serious coding must be done. And personally me I don't think its possible at all, but its just me so lets sit back and wait for devs to show up :)) :angel:
[Moto G General] BarnOwl:
Well, for sure I have been using ART for a while now. Since I changed my Samsung Galaxy SIII to unofficial Kitkat, which is about a month ago.....

Now, with my Moto G the first thing I did was changing it to ART because it worked like a charm. :)
[Moto G General] ksuuk:
Yep, exactly. I didn't notice any improvement in the phone behavior, but I lost about 600 MB storage space.
[Moto G General] flibblesan:
Oh yes, once Android 5.0 is out we may see performance increases using ART as Google will have spent enough time tweaking the performance and fixing bugs. We may even see chipset vendors optimizing it further like Qualcomm and Intel have done with Dalvik.

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShimaMiku:
First off, you are in the wrong thread. This is for the S4 Active. You are looking for the S4 Google Edition thread. Secondly, why would you want 4.2.2? The Google Edition phone never had "stock Samsung" on it, it was always stock Android.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjDom:
Hey Everyone,

Been an android user for quite some time and know the system well, but this has me confused.

I rooted the phone the minute it came out of the box.

I recently decided to install Xposed and GravityBox on my Nexus 5, and tweak a few things.

However, after installing it, I noticed that my battery dies much faster. And I mean, incredibly fast. If the phone just sits in my pocket for 3 hours, I'm down to about 40%. I leave my house at around 8, and have to top off my battery by noon.

I know that the issue is not the battery though, because if I go into Xposed and disable gravitybox, my battery lasts for almost 2 days.

I have tried BetterBatteryStats, but it didn't give me any unusual wakelock info. Only the normal powermanagerservice and wlan wakelocks.

In the battery menu, Android OS and Android System would use up a ton of battery with GravityBox on.

All help is greatly appreciated, since I really enjoy the features of GravityBox.. but not so much to have horrible battery life.

Thanks,

Dom
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:
Version number of GB?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjDom:
2.9.1, Sir. Running on 4.4.2 stock.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerowinder:

Alright, 2.8.6 installed.

I'll leave it unplugged over night and report back in the morning.

Thank you. :)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower7:
That's really odd. I've seen a few other people who also seem to be having crappy battery life with GB, which hasn't been my experience at all.

I have no issues with my battery usin gravity box at all
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjDom:
Good to see I'm not the only one.

After switching to version 2.8.6, this is what I'm getting:

Much better than before.. but still not quite as good as without Xposed and GB.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
This is me, Xposed and latest GB, stock 4.4.2 ROM. Had to reboot it earlier but it's been off charge since 7:30am. Hardly any use as I'm in work but it's not draining fast at all IMO
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decimation:
Just out of curiosity, are you guys running the stock kernel??? I've been running Gravitybox(and a few other modules) for a pretty good while and I haven't seen the drain you guys are getting. But I run the latest Franco kernel. With a full charge and leaving my phone untouched for 3 hours I get down to 93%. Has anyone looked for wake locks??
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wantabe:
I've personally never had any problems with battery life on either my N7 or N5 using GB. Running stock 4.4.2, ElementalX kernel and v2.9.0 of GravityBox. Just to throw a wild suggestion out there and I have no real idea of what kind of impact it might have, or not, but I always have the newest version of busybox installed.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EddyOS:
Yes, I'm 100% stock bar rooting and latest Xposed/GB combo

---------- Post added at 02:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:57 PM ----------

I don't have BB installed as Xposed doesn't require it (or it installs it itself when updating the framework)
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wantabe:
I thought at one time it did but I could be mistaken.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjDom:
Ok, so it looks like downgrading GravityBox worked.

Here are the stats:

Any idea why the old version doesn't do it..?
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Decimation:
Did you check for wake locks?? WakeLock detector may come in handy for you.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DjDom:
Yes. I stated in the op that I checked for them.

Nothing unusual.

I'm happy now though, it seems to be working on the old version.

But I would really like to find out why the battery is killed so quickly on newer versions. Eventually.. I will want to upgrade to the latest gravity box.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bekyndnunwind:
Sorry to resurrect this old thread, but I recently rooted and installed Xposed + GravityBox and I'm having the same issue. Has anyone found a fix for this?

I went to sleep the other night at 30% battery and when I woke up 8 hours later my phone was dead. Before installing GravityBox I would only lose 2-4% overnight...what gives?

I am on stock kernel BTW...which has always treated my battery well...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gee2012:
Are you sure it isn`t caused by one or more apps you installed? Have you installed BetterBatteryStats for montoring app usage/power consumption.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rush420:
I seem to be getting drain also I decided to try out better battery stats it seems to be the top App doing most of the drain
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danarama:
Then will you please post in the Gravity box thread and ask the developer what logs will help him? Everyone who says they have drain so far have been 0 help to the developer. Please be the one to turn things around...
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C3C076:
Just dropping by and I felt like I could give you some hints about potential causes of battery drain.

From my experience, I figured out that the only reasons when I experience higher drainage is soft-rebooting a device.

This is not GB related and can easily happen without running any xposed modules.

It seems like when doing soft reboot, the device is not initialized properly in some parts which can cause some unexpected behavior resulting in higher battery consumption.

The recommendation: avoid using soft-reboots as much as possible. Use normal reboot instead. It doesn't take a lot more time for the device to boot compared to soft-reboot, anyway.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chua:
Yeap I only had Xposed and GravityBox 3.0.0 installed since 2 days ago and i certainly noticed the really bad battery drain. The phone sometimes might even feel slightly warm even when I'm simply leaving it idling there...

Like thread OP, I checked using BetterBatteryStats but couldn't get any noticeable information about the culprit that might be causing incessant wakelocks. But admittedly I have been soft-rebooting quite often, so I'll try a normal reboot and see if the problem goes away. Else I'll install an earlier GB version to see if it fixes the battery drain.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chopper the dog:
Of course if you install GB and play with all the settings for an hour or so it will appear in your batt list. When done putzing give it a full charge to reset batt table and you'll never see it again.

good day.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chua:
Update: I have tried this for 3 days now - I have re-enabled Gravitybox and only used normal reboot instead of soft reboot and the battery drain doesn't appear to be happening anymore.

Overnight while idling the battery is draining from full to 90% battery which is reasonable.

Seems like C3C076 might have been right after all, thanks matey! (+1)

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] 3waygeek:
Try the same trick with HKLM\Comm\tiacxwln1\Parms\HTCPowerSaveTimeout. The first one is the timeout you set in the WLAN Settings tab; i.e. how long the WiFi should be on if it can't connect. This one should specify how long a connection can be inactive but still connected.

Any suggestions would be helpfull. Will the above reg hack work?

Yea I agree with you. I was however allways wondering what it was called.. I've always tried to get it to change, on my Note 1, s3.. etc.. to feel more Google Like.. never really succeeded.

However I think it can be done, in this video from Phone Tech Kid, he has a STANDARD Galaxy S4 phone, and Google Play Edition rom, installed on it. (We all know, that Google Play Edition Rom, doesn't have Samsung OEM Logo, but Google's one.)

But If we take a look at 50s mark of the video, you will se, that he has UNLOCKED key chain under the Samsung logo.. So I think that the developer of that rom, was able to somehow change it..
