This is my first thread, so please contact me if I have done something wrong

Main criterias that need work

-Sound loudness

-Ram management

-Performance

-Battery life

-Gaming

Better speaker volume

One of the biggest problem of cm11 based roms is the ow speaker volume. This can be Overcome by using VIPER4ANDROID

It improves sound loudness by a great deal. TRY IT YOURSELF!!!!! Tick xloud down in settings and see the miracle happen:good::good:{Install app drivers properly and use methods as mentioned in app thread}

Performance

-Use interactive governor as it gives the best performance. Use performance in settings to do so or downloada 3rd party app from play store. For eg No-frills cpu control { Dont forget to apply set on boot.}

-DONT ENABLE AUTO BRIGHTNESS. It locks frequency at max.

-Dont use ART. It is just negligibly faster but can cause problems with certain apps

-If you are facing,strange problems that are other are not facing, flash stock ics ftf file in flashmode using flashtool and then flash the rom's kernel in fastboot mode and install the rom

Ram management

Try fly-on mod if it suits you [did suit me, I run whatsapp, VIER4ANDROID, HD widgets, Google Search, launcher, all without any of them redrawing

Dont forget to take a nandroid backup

[According to me, its better than supercharger especially for our device as fly on mod is optimized for 512mb devices, I even got random reboots with supercharger, so use fly on mod]{yes, they do exactly the same thing}

-Download memory manager from play store and set the values as follows

8,10,20,24,26,28

Dont forget to tick apply on boot

-According to me, dont use any task killers and similar 3rd party apps

- I dont even use KSM or purging or assets[you may if you like to

-Greenify Ram hungry apps such as whatsapp and facebook

-Download any root explorer and then go to build.prop in system

Then search for ro.config.low_ram=false and change from false to true

though this will cause to transperant notificatin disappear, believe me, it will help a lot

Better Battery Life

-If you want battery life, use conservative or lionheart as cpu governor

-Follow certain simple techniques such as

1 Switch off wifi and mobile network when not in use

2 Use 2g network whenever possible over 3g

3 Switch off bluetooth or NFC when not in use

-Use BETTERBATTERYSTATS from play store to know whats using your battery

-use Wakelock Detector from play store to know which apps are waking up your device

-Geenifying apps saves battery life even

-Sometimes happens is due to frequent changes of roms, battery gets uncaliberated and shows wrong stats. Follow these steps

1 Charge your phone overnight

2 Use the whole battery the next day and then again charge battery from 0-100%

-Airplane mode- use airplane mode during night, it will save overnight battery drain

-Turn off auto sync and location, it will save both battery and RAM

-Use Juice Defender from play store{It isnt just a placebo, it really works}

-Refer to this guide for detailed info http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1969741

Better gaming performance

-Reduce game graphics to improve performance

1 Download and install xposed module http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1574401

2 Download and install app settings http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2437377

3 In app settings, choose the game you wanna play.

4 Reduce the resolution to lowest

5 Reduce density from 240 to 150 and save the settings and reboot

By this you will get lower graphics but smooth gaming experience, especially on heavy 3d games

-Fly on mod will also help

-Use xbooster and set gaming mode

-Set ondemand as cpu governor and row as io scheduler

-Use airplane mode while playing offline games, it will stop internet services like location, syncing etc and clear ram as well as cpu performance

Using these tricks your gaming performance will increase significantly

By following these easy steps, we can make our Kit Kat roms fit for daily use
