It's Google play and in the past I have just deleted any of the com.google.xxx files that have given me issues, and they reinstall when you reboot (at least that has been my experience), YMMV and you alone take the risk, blah blah blah :)

You can do a nand, delete it.

If you have TiBu you can FREEZE it, or change the file name to.bak and see if Google Play reinstalls a new com,google file

or you can go here and read up on it http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2347187

All depends on how YOU use your device. I've seen 2 day batt life with 3 hrs screen on time. If you can get by with only an hr or two of usage a day, 30 hrs is very doable.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Naqzar:
No not really. I even started with a fresh rom install and ran it down. Battery still seems about the same as before.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Az Biker:
Maybe let the ROM settle for a few days and monitor batt life again.
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] shawn01:
Download gsam from app store it will tell you what the deal is.. sometimes there a Rouge app that sucks the batter life. Most the time it's play services killing my battery. Also check out factory mode running in your running applications it will kill your battery like none other. I usually greenify factory mode. Do not freeze it in titanium back up or delete it. You will regret that. Factory mode uses up a lot of cpu.

What may help as well is an app called battery calibration in play store suppose to charge phone to 100 then calibrate using app which cleans battery stats from old rom to new rom installation.

I am currently using Pixel Battery Saver and giving max battery life a run for its money using the stock battery.

Here's my build:

KK NC4

Jasmine Rom 2.3.4

Settings:

Power Saver On

(No greyscale, location still on)

Smart Sync On

Vibration and bottom lights turned off

Apps:

Pixel Battery Saver (set on High. Highest turns off too many pixels for my liking).

Greenify

Trickster Mod

My goal was to get as much battery life without sacrificing any functionality. Using my phone as normal. Games, navigation, the whole shabang. Let's see how it goes :good:
[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] AJ9x:
Results are in.

14 hours 40 min from 100% to 2%.

SOT 3 hours 40 min.

Estimations:

Played Heroes of Camelot for an hour (1% drop every 2 min)

Ran GPS for almost 45 min (1% drop every 3 min)

Playing on Chrome Beta for a while (1% drop every 6min)

Playing on Facebook (1% drop every 5min)

PowerAmp and Milk Music for about 30 min (didn't pay attention)

Over 14 1/2 hours of normal use, especially using battery sucking apps, is great for me. Usually my phone would be dead by lunch, I can now make it last from morning to evening if need be and still use it like normal.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] Stick_man09:
Hi All, Great thread btw thanks to AZ_Biker. I'd like to refresh the dialogue in here to see if there have been any advancements or new tips and tricks other than the original ones proposed. It seems like some of the best battery life came from those running eclipse. I personally love Alliance ROM and am curious about what others are doing to maximize battery life with that particular ROM. I am a very heavy user and I usually have to charge mid day and then again at night. I usually average about 4 hrs of SOT per charge but I use greenify, gsam battery monitor, DS battery saver with exposed module activated (Slumberer profile). I am on the NC2 kernel and I have heard elsewhere that switching to NC4 might increase battery life. In the past I have also tried to use apps like Juice Defender and Tasker with custom built profiles to turn data/network on and off at specific times or under certain contexts. I have had pretty limited success with those attempts. Best I ever had was about 2 days of battery life but only 5 hours of SOT in that time.

I do have some specific questions though and any info or insights would be very helpful:

1. I see many early references to Smart Network which was in some versions of Baja ROM but in Alliance I don't think that option exists anymore. (unless I haven't been able to find it amid all the other awesomeness). There is a "Network Restriction" mode and I'm wondering if these are the same or two totally different things.

2. I am curious if there are apps out there that compete to better your battery and in the process end up consuming more than they save. What I am asking specifically, are there apps that don't play well with Greenify for example? What is the right mix or recommended mix of battery saving apps? (or even exposed modules active or not). I also utilize the "Power Saving Mode" but not sure if it is doing anything other than dimming my screen a bit more despite the other things it says it does.

3. Does anyone have a real comprehensive list of the apps that can be frozen in the pure stock version of Alliance ROM that will not have an adverse effect. In my particular situation, I manually sync everything and I only want my phone to be able to receive calls, voicemail and texts when the screen is off. Anything else should only be activated if I am actively in that app. I don't use any social networking apps unless I can operate them from the standard mobile browser. To my knowlege I do not have anything I would consider a rouge app.

I try to use dark themes where possible and keep my screen brightness to about 1/8 the way all the time. I realize that I may not be able to get better than 6 hrs of SOT with heavy use but I'd be willing to try anything to keep me from having to charge more than once a day. I guess I kind of feel like I already do a lot to maximize battery life but am not getting the numbers that others are getting taking similar precautions. I wonder if I am missing something.

If anybody has any new tips or tricks especially using Alliance ROM, that would be really great. Thanks in advance for the support.

[Verizon Galaxy Note 3 General] matsuyamakaze:
Sorry didn't see this sooner but yes it helps it puts a new battery bin. File when I tested I had installed a new rom drained battery to 1 % then phone died I rebooted to suck out remaining juice. I stayed at 0% battery for awhile. So I rebooted it eventually died. I fully charged phone calibrated then unplugged. Eventually drained and when it hit zero it was zero no reboot.

---------- Post added at 03:44 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:42 PM ----------

What it does is rims have different battery life's and the bin file keeps the memory of the rom. You don't want to use the old battery memory on a new rom would hinder performance of battery life imo so clean battery slate for new rom.

---------- Post added at 03:48 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:44 PM ----------

Yeah I have old pics of me getting amazing battery life what's not great is I didn't wright down what rom it was so idk on one I had it drain only 5 percent after an hour of hotspot. And had 7 hours of on screen time. Also the battery wouldn't drain when phone wasn't in use just be a straight line. Wish I could tell what rom it is from the photos. Maybe I can post them.

Hi there,

finally I got myself a Brando screenprotector after everyone that you read is very positive about it, but i xperience that it makes the screen much more insensetive, i almost have to hold the screen all the time when i tab the screen. before it was much more sensible...are there different brando models, and i got the one that is superthick?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Diggia:
I know there are two kind of screenprotectors by Brando (in my preferite shop in Rome i have seen two of these), one of these is more slim

I think you have the other model and me too

Because also for me the display, wuth the screenprotector, is more insensitive

:wink:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] adamelphick:
HI, Ive used these protectors for years now and havent found them a problem. It's true that you need to be a little more 'positive' on teh screen after they are applied.

However compare this to one day scratching or damagaing your very expensive screen and turning your Universal into a door stop!

There are two types... Ultra clear shiny style (which i use at the moment) and a anti glare version (which is better for outdoors sometimes as less reflections)..... Also the difference is that they dont stick to the screen, they simply stay there with the tack of the backing, thus you dont damage the screen when you try to remove them.

It's an Exec. The lid will close. Why do you need a screen protector? FWIW my 30-month old XDA2 has 3 very minor scratches on the screen that you can't see unless you look *very* carefully. The way I achieved such longevity was simply to not put the device in the same pocket as anything metal (e.g. keys, money) - seemed kinda obvious to me. :roll:

[Samsung Galaxy Gear] lopan2000:
You may need to tweak your kernel settings to get better battery. To me, the extra battery drain is worth it and isn't a problem since I charge every night. The watch in stock form is soooo sluggish. With the new kernel, apps scroll smoothly, open up faster ... I don't know if you use tablet talk to text from the watch, but the extra speed signifcantly helps when using the google keyboard to swype your text in.

Also, there are some build.prop tweaks that make the touch screen more responsive, so all you 'back button' down swipes will register almost 100% :good:

I don't know if there's anything out like this for Xposed (have searched for the past 10 minutes and have found nothing) and my requests to the ROM devs haven't panned out. I would like to have an Xposed module that will allow me to move the navigation buttons to the left or right side of the nav bar. It's been implemented in certain ROMs, so I know it's possible, but I don't know how to make modules, so I hope someone who has some experience could help.

Also how about moving the clock and notifications to the bottom like it was on JB?
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] craigacgomez:
Getting this to work as an Xposed module has complications. It should be easy enough to achieve on stock-ish ROMs, but ROMs which have nav bar customisations is harder to achieve considering that there are quite a few ways different ROM approach nav bar customisations.

Thankfully there's Thunderkat, which I'm currently running. ;) But it would be nice fore there to be something out there for the masses who choose a different ROM that it might be compatible with.
[Nexus 10 Themes and Apps] republicano:
I was thinking having the bar on the right side while in landscape so the bar has not moved when changing orientation, like what occurs in mobile phones.

Having a nexus 7 I havent managed to stay on kitkat as I can't stand the mobile phone layout, using PA in tablet mode to have both bars combined, now tablet ui is removed in KK I'm trying to find a rom that has a practical layout for my thumb.

Tried thundercat and it has the option of having navi controls on either side which is great but I cant stop to think that the bar is wasting space as you only need an inch of it, while you have a notification pane that could be on the other side.

I will have to find a way to have the bar like on mobile devices.
