[LG Optimus G Pro] machinistsWIP:
day 2

remember, these are only recommendations. however, i have flashed every AOSP ROM for the e980 and i get sweet, deep sleep every time. i'm either incredibly lucky or a friggin evil genius. perhaps a little of both?

another note: i keep my phone plugged in all night. i use it all day and try to kill it. i try to make sure it is below 20% when i plug it in and i always let it charge to 100%. but you shouldn't be worried about battery. battery stats are unreliable at best until at least after the first full charge. and it takes a few cycles for the system to settle into it's groove.

now, you will also notice that i didn't restore ANYTHING. i am going to do some restoring. but no apps. no titanium backup of my previous 457 apps and all of their data. i say boo to that. so rise and shine sweet cheeks, you've got some work ahead of you.

DAY 2​

1) download some apps - yay! time to play, right? wrong sweetheart! you are going to download some essential applications. first, get your preferred security app, if you have one. if not, i recommend CM security. it's superlightweight (big non-existent word alert!) and super fast. easy on the RAM, easy on the eyes, and highly rated. it scored 100% on the AV-Test. update the virus definitions, and scan everything. but don't set up auto scan. i used to have avast scan me every night and it kept my poor phone up while i snored away.

second, i install supersu from the play store. i install, grant superuser rights to it, and then update the su binary using the TWRP/CWM option. works every time for me on AOSP ROMs. the phone will reboot to recovery, run a script, and then reboot.

next up, i install titanium with the pro license, and google drive. why? because i keep a backup of my sms and call log on my google drive. that way, if my device goes into brick mode, i still have it. i didn't always do it this way, but people get mad if you continually ask them for that piece of hard to find information that they texted you six months ago. but i don't restore ANY APPS. only sms and call log.

2) performance find whatever performance application comes with your ROM. set your governor to interactive and select "set on boot". change your I/O scheduler to deadline, and select "set on boot". hopefully this sticks.

if your ROM doesn't have a performance settings app, then use the one from ROM Toolbox. works for me, and you might need this app in later steps. don't bother with tweaking all the advanced stuff. i've tested both ways, and simply using interactive with deadline has been rock solid for me both performance and battery wise. ymmv - every uses their phone different.

3) extreme measures - these are optional...i have gone without sometimes, but when i have an issue, these always help. first, go flash madmack's modem, found in the op of this thread. note: this is for e980 ONLY! flashing modems is risky business. even worse than tom cruise dancing in tighty whities.

now, go to settings>apps>all>google services framework. clear cache, clear data, and force stop. immediately reboot to recovery. wipe cache, dalvik cache, and fix permissions.

4) go to work! seriously, you're going to be late. don't forget to take the leftover tacos for lunch. you'll thank me later.

use your phone like a human today. you know, regular people who don't constantly fiddle$#%& with their device? you've seen them...talk to those people. i'm not saying don't use your phone. but be gentle with it. it's your phone's first time. buy it dinner first. don't ask for the 3 way right away.
