User Manual - For Better Performance & Battery Backup | Gamers | Daily Users

To get more battery backup:

Go to Settings ---> Advance options --> Performance --> Advance settings --> Touch screen

OFF the Sweep to Wake Sweep to Sleep & Double Tap to Wake then ON the Set on boot button

Reason: S2W | S2S | DTW are available at the cost of more power, means touch will not go to sleep so logically it will use more battery but if you love these features then enjoy them ;)

For advance users to get more performance:

Go to Settings ---> Advance options --> Performance --> Advance settings --> Dynamic Fsync

FSYNC stands for file sync. Disabling it boosts the performance, responsiveness and database.

Warning! Disabling has a side effect of a possible data loss but there are 0.10 out 100 chances. So disable it and enjoy the snappy phone ;)

Don't increase SD read ahead amount !

Keep your phone clean by:

Go to Settings ---> Advance options --> Performance --> Tools

Clean residual files

Optimize databases

Do it after few days !

Don't use Xposed Framework ! It makes ROM laggy.

Don't use battery saving apps, these apps uses RAM their self ;)

Don't use task manager, these apps uses RAM their self, ANDROID has best built-in task manager ;)

Restart your phone once a day :p

WARNING! ROM is tweaked at its best, don't try your own tweaking, you'll lose stability & get bad results.
