Excellent idea. Set back to defaults and it sureeee made a difference. Screenshots supplied.

Lol. You can clearly see it in the pics.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:

Tried a build... Twice.. Only to find out I have a stick of ram going bad. Grrrrr. I7 box will do it way faster anyway. Off to remove win10 and back to mint. Lol. Did you remove win from your new PC all together or dual boot?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
I removed it, but if I recall the windows recovery partition is still intact. Not sure about that though but not concerned with it either lol.

My wife wants Linux now as well lol.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Lol didn't figure you would be. Three year old uses mine to play on. Even though he has his on Asus transformer. And ten inch android tablet. May dual boot. Have you done QN experimental build with the new one yet? If so how long did it take to compile?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Not yet, haven't had the time as work and family seems to be a full time gig ha! I did make one build but forgot to take note of it and hit you up with the results. Maybe this weekend? May the odds forever be in my favor :-p

I would dualboot if you use windows for other purposes.

Maybe using VM to run Linux would suffice? Never tried it though.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
VM won't work with win10 I don't think. Work in progress. Had same issue. Kid and wife both have the BAD cold going around the Ohio river valley. Doctor dad husband maid and cook this week. Lol.

I don't know if this will work or not but it may be worth checking out. The only thing is you have to set selinux to permissive.it says its supposed to improve battery and increase performance. Don't know how much it will help or even if it will work but maybe it has something you can use [MENTION=5530607]Moody66[/MENTION] to help you with your extending battery project. If it works then you can share it with us. the thread on xda is http://xdaforums.com/android/software-hacking/tweak-l-speed-v1-0-02-02-2015-t3020138 . then its got a website at http://lspeedmod.weebly.com/it says its supposed to work on any android device so maybe it will help us extend our batteries.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Interesting to say the least. I would rather leave it enforced. There is still a lot of apps out there we can't trust. People can disable it themselves and my conscious will stay at ease. Lol. Super can put it in the mate 2 thread for those that are less worried about it. Good to know for sure. Thanks!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
From what I can tell about that script it just makes simple changes to the build.prop file mostly. Tweaks that reduce the usage of the battery but nothing really regarding any actual kernel tweaks itself parsay. So in a way it is useful but it isn't full proof. I'm testing it out on my older device and to be honest, I don't see much of a difference lol. His tweaks are nothing new though. People have been using those types of tweaks for years now.

Best approach for getting the most out of your battery is to focus on the kernel.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Managed to find some stuff on another device with development. Gonna try to implement them into this one. Looks like they added some V changes as well as w wide variety of governors. Sigh. I thought I had this out of my system. Its like drugs. Once you are hooked you are hooked. Lol.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Everyone benefits from your videos and such. This is what I like about XDA. So many people try to help. Its awesome.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nrfitchett4:
just curious what this does to performance. I would love more battery, but also need the phone to function and not be laggy junk. Curious to see where this goes.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Performance was decreased some. But when done that will be fixed. Right now they ramp up way to far to fast. Touching the screen and it fires up all four cores to maxx. Totally unnecessary. Then even small tasks it ramps up again. So much is wasted. There is very little control over it with what is out now. Going to try and make it so each user can make changes to meet their own needs of battery/performance. Stating to dislike how Qualcomm does things..... I will get it.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] nrfitchett4:
cool, I'll keep an eye on the thread.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
Found this in the play store but don't know if it will help, it has the ability to set settings for each core independently. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.st.cpu&hl=en is where you can go to find it. Its called 3C CPU Manager
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
Has anybody Tried Clean Master (Boost & AppLock)

I was wondering if anybody has tried this program to see if it can help with battery and Ram. I know android manages its ram by itself but if you have a lot of programs that auto start in certain situations then that will drain your battery as well as ram and other system resources. Here's an old YouTube video that will show the Autostart manager feature in action. Its under the phone boost tab when you start the app. You have to give it root access for it to work though. I like it because its easy to block what you want without a lot of hassle or add them to the ignore list by long pressing on them and selecting ignore. I haven't really paid attention to how much battery if any its saved me but I know it has to have saved some since I have 38 apps blocked from starting on startup and Greenify for when I do start them. You can find the YouTube video here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agmBTa1ZCNU and the app is at https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard&hl=en. I have included some pictures from my device to give you an example of what the manager looks like and how much it ram I have after boot. I usually run between around 900 to a little over a gig of free ram.. For the auto start manager to show when you install you may have to wait for an update to the app itself, for some reason every time I've done a clean install I've had to do that. Fortunately I signed up for the beta so I get an update to the app just about every other day. To me its worth it because not only can stop programs from autostarting it can also hibernate apps and is good for keeping your system clean of old files like log files, old apk files you've already installed and other junk. It will even let you when you install an app block it from autostarting. If you don't want to use it I understand but since this post is about saving battery I figured I would post this here so those that want to can at least check it out and see if it helps them. one last thing when cleaning junk file you can long press on an item to see where its located on your device to see if its something you want to delete.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Clean Master was ok before they riddled it with other crap that constantly tries to get you to download their other apps. Now I personally hate all of the apps they have for that reason.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
I agree with the part about hating them constantly trying to suggest their other apps but I usually just ignore most of it because its a good program for optimizing the system. I also don't really open the main program unless prompted by it about cleaning the junk on my phone for better performance so I don't really see all that much of the suggestions they try to push on you
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Got box set up. Should have something ready in the next day or so. Better late than never. Lol
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Mackks:

Not found a one in CM. But I just temp flash nightlies. 9/17 is my DD. Everyone in the house has had to deal with a VERY harsh cold the last 10 Days or so. Slowed me down alot. SHM beat me to a new ROM by days. Lol.

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Lol you are hooked like the rest of us. Xordos made himself one. And SHM. I haven't bithered with an aosp yet. Want to get the battery one up first. SHM threw me some tips on speeding up compilation. Mine took twice as long as his.

I have an android car radio so I need hotspot on
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Should add at least half a day. Rough guess. If yours is one of the less finicky hardware phones you may get an extra full day.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
I get 2 hole days now but I use my profiles at night
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
I get about two days out of mine with constant usage since I'm working on compiling a Python script statically so I can use it on my phone, which implies lots of testing and modifications. Don't use profile settings, I keep it at default. I'm pretty satisfied with it so far. Need to run testing on OmniRom and compare results.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Mackks:
I think it's that first public beta they released for lollipop. I'm not sure which version exactly, but if it's useful to you, I can go find a way to check. I didn't think they did anything new with the official lollipop release, so I didn't look into it much. I didn't have any real problems with the device, so I just kept it on the same version.

Found this on Reditt. This is the kind of battery life I would like.

https://www.reddit.com/r/Android/comments/3ptmxa/doze_really_worksmy_nexus_9_has_been_on_battery/

Around 6 days on battery with light use and at 19%. Its not our phone though and using Doze from marshmallow, but if they can get that from a nexus, what kind of life can we get from ours.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
I get that already. Lol. According to some M will be ported to the Mate 2. CM is getting things ready. I know Pax is wanting to release it. He said soon a while back.

But it isn't that easy. TP usually has it up first. Still not available. I will stick to L and get the flashable up. No way I will try M with my health going down so fast.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
Hope you feel better soon.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Me too. Three year old dont understand when you tell them you cant take them to the playgorund!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
Found an app which you may want to check out [MENTION=5530607]Moody66[/MENTION] . It claims to shut down all but one core when the phone is off and help save battery when screen is on. Don't really know anything other than that but it sounds like it would help. Its got a 4.1 rating in the play store. You can find it here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eugene373.cpu.sleep&hl=en
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] kimtyson:
Are we still talking about this?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
Why not? As long as we have global warming, etc we should.

In the future when phone skins/phone outer bodies serve as solar collectors to charge the phone battery, then we can stop :) .
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
CPU Sleeper 4.0.4 Universal

There is an app that I started using today that might help those looking for extra battery life. Its called CPU Sleeper 4.0.4 Universal. It works by shutting down all but one core when you turn the screen off. When I have the screen on and am using apps its scales cores 3 and 4 based on usage and if not needed shuts them down. The app does turn on cpu hotplugging for those that have it off. I have attached a couple of pictures to represent the battery life increase the app has given me. I turned the app on at 9:07 am this morning while at work on break. Now I don't use my phone much at work but when I checked my battery life later on. I had gone from 1 day and 2 hrs at 90% to 2 days at 88%. during the time I had it in my pocket while at work, around 6 hrs my battery went from 90% to 88%. Right now as I type this my battery is at 59% with 19 hours left after normal use. It says in the app description that your battery savings will vary depending on usage but for those looking for a longer battery life it may be worth checking into this program. It costs around $1.60 and requires root, but for me it was money well spent. In the pictures I couldn't get a screenshot of it scaling the minimum MHz for the cores back to 787Mhz even though I tried because when I went to do a screenshot it would scale all the cores up again. I was able to get the screenshot I did by being quick and getting it before it scaled them up. The link to the app is https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.eugene373.cpu.sleep. Also I didn't put any screenshots up for the battery life as I was writing this because I think you can get an idea of what the app can do and if you want to try it or not from the ones I posted. As far as lag goes from the app scaling the cores I haven't noticed any but I also used Clean Master (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cleanmaster.mguard) to stop a lot of the programs that were starting at boot that were consuming resources like Facebook, Facebook messenger and YouTube to name a few.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] robertbarber:
CPU Sleeper Update

Well after a full day of using this program I wanted to post some a couple more screenshots. Keep in mind these screenshots were taken while the phone was mainly in my pocket and with almost no use because I was at work. Right now I'm at 75% battery. I am also posting a picture of my phones screen that was taken from another phone before I went to bed last night. I had to do this because this was the only I way found for it to show this, if I tried to take a screenshot it would activate the other cores for some reason.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] jordant2:
Any update on this? I'm still using jellybean but I would definitely update if I can get this sort of battery life. I get about 10 hours screen on time over 2 days and that's while connected to my moto 360 the entire time which means Bluetooth always on.

[MENTION=5530607]Moody66[/MENTION] Also in the video I noticed screen brightness was set really low. Is that part of how you achieved 20 hours? Or was it turned down at night?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Was down that low because I was in bed. I manually controlled the brightness myself. Auto just burns more battery. I will post a backup of mine for anyone that wishes to try it. Testing MM today so I will do it tonight.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Are you testing stock MM or CM13?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Cm 13. Huawei will never release MM.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
If you get better than 10 - 12 hours screen on time with WiFi, or Bluetooth on between charges (100% down to 10%), I'd like to know about it and how.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
You should be getting that even in stock ROM. 10 hours is average.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
I do get that now with PACROM - just wondering if this thread is about exceeding what I'm currently getting and how.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
If you watched my videos you would see mine sitting on 22 hours screen on time. At 5 days use.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] divineBliss:
22 hours with no charging at all in that period? Sounds impossible :) . I will check out your video. Thanks!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Need the proper governor. Under clock. Etc. Have Nigel add smartassv2 governor.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] jordant2:
Which rom were you running when you got 22 hours? I would love to get even 15 hours. I'm a heavy user so that would get me through 3 days. I use about 5 hours screen time per day. But I'm getting 10 hours without any battery saving, I could probably get a little more, but I dont want to cut off any features
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
A modded version of Tom's initial cm release. 9/17
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] jordant2:
Well I've never gotten more than 10 hours, but I can get ten. The only thing I've done is disable all background apps under power save except essential services, block any apps like nova themes that want internet access, and turned off always on data. But I never turn off sync, I leave GPS set to wireless until I need gps, and always leave Bluetooth on connected to my watch. And I do use auto brightness. Maybe I could get more if I turn off location and auto brightness. Oh and I have "OK Google" turned on from Nova launcher.

I'm still waiting to see how I can get 20 hours on lollipop though!
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Has been off the charger since 6:00 am as of November 13, 2015. It is now 12:41pm on November 14, 2015. Pretty heavy usage today. :)
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
CM 13 Will bring Doze. Off screen battery usage will be VERY low. Hopefully CM will add more Governor options. As many will agree Governors can make a LARGE difference in battery drain during actual usage.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] jordant2:
How much screen time are you getting? Which ROM are you using?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] :
Screen time is currently at 29%. Been using my phone a lot today working on something. ROM is CM13. Also a Custom kernel that includes the SmartMax EPS scaling governor with min freq set to 300 MHz. If I didn't use my phone so heavily it would probably last three days with average use such as a quick Facebook check here and there, XDA check here and there, email checks here and there. Common stuff if you know what I mean. With my setup and doze I could let my phone sleep for over two weeks easily before having to charge it again. With how heavy I use it right now it will last anywhere from two to two in a half days (possibly three) on a single charge.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] jordant2:
I actually get really good standby time already. I'm using the latest cm12 nightly with greenify and xposed. I've only been using it for a little over 24 hours but it uses about 1% every 3 hours with a bunch of apps greenified. I still can't get 20 hours screen on time though but I think I can get more than 10 right now. I still need to finish installing all my apps though. Can't wait to try cm13 and mess with some kernel settings.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
To get more than 10 you need to control your CPU and screen. Default CPU handling is not efficient for battery.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] jordant2:
So I'm on cm12 and my phone is already dozing! I let it sit last night and only lost 1% in 7 hours!!! I need to do it again tonight because I had Bluetooth off and I hadn't installed Android wear yet. I will charge during the day today and see if it was a fluke. I installed cpu sleeper and it seems to have made a drastic difference in standby, along with greenify. I haven't used power saver either. I plugged in for a moment to transfer some pictures from my laptop yesterday.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
Losing 1% in 7 hours is nothing new. We've been getting that since Tom's second build.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] jordant2:
I thought I discovered something, lol! This is great, can't wait to get kernel tweaks and doze to see how much life we can squeeze out of this phone. I'm really impressed.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] MikeyLee:
Which CM12 build are you on?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] jordant2:
At that time I was using the 11-13 nightly. I've now updated to the snapshot. Battery is good here too but I haven't had a chance to test it fully.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
What is this snapshot all about. Aren't our builds based on cm12.1 which is built on android 5.1.1 ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
WOW !! Downloading right now :good:!!

---------- Post added at 02:14 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:40 AM ----------

I just saw a new nightly update; cm-12.1-20151118-NIGHTLY-mt2.zip

Should I install that or the snapshot ROM ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
It depends. There is going to be more Nightlies until we hit stable
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
So, the 20151118 nightly ROM is just a 1 day upgraded version of the 20151117 snapshot ROM?

BTW, are you still using the gapps posted on the first page; the one that is less than 100mb ?
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
Yes and gapps does not matter. Your dirty flashing right? Google updates itself in the playstore.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
I haven't been able to get voice recognition service (Google Now) to work with the those gapps.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] superbass311:
You can use these also

[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] medwatt:
One thing that I noticed with today's ROM is that I have to restart the phone twice because it will always hang on the bootscreen in the first try. Its nothing big because I rarely reboot my phone.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] Moody66:
Toms original build is still my DD. Super is running it now. Drop the CPU min and max and days of use are easy. And no issues.
[Huawei Ascend Mate 2] jordant2:
What's the date on that build? I think I want to try that one out.
