I've frozen ( no need to delete these ):

Chrome

Drive

E-mail

EasyHome

Gmail

Google Play Books

Google Play Games

Google Play Movies

Google Play Music

Google Play Newsstand

Google Search

Google+

Hangouts

HTML viewer ( I have my own app for this, do not disable - just in case - if using browsers other than Opera )

Internet ( again, using Opera )

LG Keyboard ( using Smart Keyboard - much better, IMHO )

LG Keyboard Black Theme

LG MLT ( and I disabled LG MLT in the service menu too )

Live Wallpaper

Music ( both widget and app - using PlayerPro )

Trusted Face

Weather

Weather Theme

WeatherPlatform

My favorite browser, and the only one I've used since my Symbian days is Opera.

Do not install the latest v33 from the Play Store ( has some bugs they need to iron out ), but v32.

HERE's the link from Opera's official servers.

Chrome is a piece of bloated crap. My opinion. Maybe someone disagrees with that, but I don't care. Use what you like to use. In my case, it's Opera.

If you prefer blocking ads on web sites, like I do... Then download AdAway and enjoy ad-free surfing.

As for Xposed, I don't have a need for it yet, so I did not install it.

Thanks for the info, man! May I ask how you have frozen those apps/processes? What app have you used to do that? It can't be from the stock Apps settings, cos from there I cannot disable as many things as you have managed to disable. For example, I cannot disable EasyHome, Live Wallpaper, and others ... the Disable button is simply greyed out. That's why I'm assuming you're using a separate app to freeze stuff. Enlighten me pls.

PS. Im also having issues with my lg keyboard now and then. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.cdeguet.smartkeyboardpro

is this the Smart keyboard you're suggesting?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
Yes, that's the keyboard. I used Titanium Backup to freeze apps.

[MENTION=7061627]ivanlaki[/MENTION] - Glad to hear it :) Be sure to browse through Viber settings and disable it from starting up wifi automatically, if you did not do so already. My wifi is set up to be on always unless manually turned off.

Viber setting:

Settings / General / Wifi sleep policy / Use device settings

[MENTION=5823053]thomekk91[/MENTION] Done.

Also an Xposed module to fix lollipop 5.0.x memory leak. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thetonyp.fixlollipopmemoryleak&hl=hu

I'm not sure if it speeds up the device but I think it does (using it for 2 days and I think the device is faster, not sure though, might be just placebo effect :D)

Choosing your apps very carefully can also contribute to speeding up the device.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Mate, what is the Xposed Framework? What is it used for and what's it good for? I think it requires root access, right?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] thomekk91:

Hi guys, have you got another tips or tricks to longer time on battery or/and better performance?

Wysłane z telefonu.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Use Battery saver

mode

... you can set your phone to it while you are not using it and switch it off when u need to use it again. For example, have it on battery saver mode overnight. You can even have it on battery saver mode all the time as long as you are ok with sacrificing a bit of performance as well as some background internet syncing, and things of that nature. Google 'Battery saver mode' and you'll see exactly what you gain and what you lose.

For me it makes a lot of sense to set your phone on battery saver mode while sleeping at night ... at least you're sure you're not gonna use it at that time and in the same time battery saver mode clocks down the cpu and thus saves battery. Another way to achieve sth similar is with Kernel Adiutor (root needed), as discussed in several threads (prolly in this one as well, I'm totally lost now).

PS - battery saver mode is for saving battery only, not for improving performance. On the contrary, a slight degradation in performance may be noticed.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] kamil79123:
Yeah, but every app like "battery saver" does not work... It's even worse, because it runs in background and consumes battery.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] kamango:
Runs what in background? Battery saver isnt an app its an built in feature of every lollipop phone, which is costumized ir isnt by the monufacturer of phone.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] kamil79123:
Apps like DU Battery Saver, Battery Doctor etc. It only slows phone....
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
[MENTION=6093642]kamil79123[/MENTION] ... kamango kinda conveyed my message, so I hope you got it now. In case you didn't ... just pull down your notification screen and up there where you have the WiFi, Data, brightness and other settings make sure to find one called 'Battery saver' ... it's basically a toggle. So toggle it on and off as you wish. And clearly in its settings make it be turned on immediately when toggled, not at 5 or 15% .. this way you have an on-demand battery saver, which is built in lollipop as the dude said. I have no idea why you are referring to 3rd party apps such as DU Battery Saver, Battery Doctor etc. Battery saver is a MODE built in lollipop. It aint an app, so do take advantage of it. :)

As I said earlier do google 'Battery saver' and you'll see exactly what you gain and what you lose. Look at my previous post as well. I just edited it so as to indicate that Battery saver is a MODE, not an app we should be afraid of.

---------- Post added at 09:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:27 PM ----------

[MENTION=5043095]Tomo123[/MENTION] Glad you erased that SetCPU and in its place now stands Kernel Adiutor ... correct me if I am wrong, but we cannot use SetCPU for this purpose yet, because we still don't have a custom overclock-able ROM for the lg spirit, right? Until that time comes around we should be satisfied with your useful tweaks with Kernel Adiutor. Thank you for this thread! :)
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] kamil79123:
Oh sure, i just read your messages badly. I just enabled batterysaver, but it's not Sony's Stamina. :/

But i hope it will help me with battery, thanks!
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
It will ... use it on demand. It does make a difference, but pls don't quote such long pieces of msg ... just floods everything :)
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
I think that the first post summarises everything. As for build.prop tweaks, those will come in due time.

This is not paid work, you know ;)
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] :
[MENTION=5043095]Tomo123[/MENTION]

I'd like to ask you... You prefers aggressive lmk to the lmk values you've posted a few days ago?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
Test out yourself. I am, personally, having issues with those settings. It seems they kill a system process that is linked to LG's Knock On function. Don't know which one it is, but as soon as I applied Agressive and rebooted, it started working again.

Really it beats me how that can be related with memory killer settings, but it is...
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] midzan21:
You are not paid to do this professionaly, but donations via PayPal would be nice addition ;) Just add PayPal mail in profile to Donation and people would then donate couple of $$$ to you :)

Note: just sayin', do how do you like
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
By those settings, do you mean this post, Tomo? Cos if it's those, then personally for me they work ok. Pretty much same as aggressive lmk. I looked it up just now and there were a few results, as well as a knock pattern thing, but if by 'LG Knock On' you mean the double tap to wake, then I'm not having any issues with that. Neither with aggressive, nor with the lmk values from the link above.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
I have to try again... must have been something I effed up in my build prop... Got it back to how it was a few days ago. Will test again.

If they work for you, my advice is to keep them. They are better than Agressive, but I am waiting to make them official until I find the real issue with Knock.

[MENTION=4203213]midzan21[/MENTION] I would never consider donations. I like messing with phones and sharing my knowledge, however limited it may be. On the other hand, for that reason, I don't like being rushed by anyone.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] kamil79123:
[MENTION=5043095]Tomo123[/MENTION]

I have no double tap to wake issues on your low memory killer settings, they are working fine. Do we need recently? Releasing these lmk values you said to disable it. Can we just uninstall it or we should re-enable it?

I know we dont pay for it, but i hope God will reward it you.

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
Since low memory killer does it's job very well, keeping recently is just a matter of you liking around 20 apps in recents, or you like limiting them to a more reasonable number. Decision is yours.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Is it normal to have this values even with cpu minimum frequency set to 800? I did a frequency table reset after applying that freq.

Ps: sorry for lumen
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
I personally think values are ok, based on the values I've seen on my phone. However, the reset of values actually works a bit tricky and you haven't done it properly. As u see from your screenshot the values shown are actually from the last 171 hours so ... that's not much of a reset. [MENTION=5043095]Tomo123[/MENTION] needs to change the 'How to clear timers?' screenshot in his #1 post with this one. I think that'll help you now get a better overview of your frequencies.

don't be sorry for cf lumen. it's a great app ... your eyes definitely think it's a great app, too! :)
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] :
I think it's a great app too, but personally I hate that double orange effect on screenshots that you'll probably get if lumen is running so I said it. :)
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Yep, i got that! :) I do dislike that effect too, but nothing to do about it AFAIK
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
How to clear timers updated. Thanks jonathan.

guglicap, those values are ok. If you want to start fresh, just reboot the phone.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Randar EST:
Is wiping data and cache safe?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
If you have issues with an app, just reinstall it. No need to wipe cache & dalvik.

Never figured out why people did it in the first place on a working phone. It's only needed when reflashing new firmware in recovery, to weed out any remaining data from previous apps.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanlaki:
Okay, so i have 10 Google play services running all the time, and i dont care about that, but what i care about is battery, and i've got 250 alarms in 10 hours(around 25/hour), and its on the top of the alarms section n BetterBatteryStats(35% of alarms), its funny because Whatsapp is only 23%... I know we shouldnt mess those, but there must be some of them that are safe to disable, right?..
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
Google is not to blame here. Other apps cause wakelocks through Google services api.

Apps like messengers, various free2play games and so on ( and apps with lots of ads ). A culprit can be found among the apps you have installed, and the apps that run on boot, or thaz start up when you have wifi on.

I don't have issues with that, since I use MyAndroid Tools to choke all of those apps from starting.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Regarding apps that run on boot, SD Maid also helps visually indicate which ones they are. It places a yellow 'Autostart' next to apps, which currently DO autostart and it allows you to 'Toggle autostart components', which then makes the 'Autostart' next to apps appear grey, makes sense ... duh!!! Of course apps have other components too and broadcast receivers, which can be fine-tuned in MyAndroidTools as Tomo said, but at least for me I've noticed that all tweaks I made to apps with 'SD Maid' (regarding autostart) were successful. That is, once I disabled the autostart components in 'SD Maid' I then went on to see MyAndroidTools and as expected all corresponding BOOT_COMPLETED/autostart broadcast receivers were disabled there as well. So from that point of view I trust SD Maid.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] :
How do you see apps that use Google services api in my android tools?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] polfrank:
I too have a difficulty how to use MyAndroidTools. Could you elaborate on how we use it?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Earlier on in the thread I asked Tomo and he gave a good explanation thereof. I think it was this:

If you want to disable apps that start on boot automatically, go to Broadcast Receiver side menu, and tap Actions. There, you'll find a list of most common broadcast receivers that start up apps on various conditions met ( like Boot Completed that starts apps upon boot, etc ). Click Boot Completed, and voila... you can see which app starts automatically when the phone boots up completely.

Example: Sometimes, I use an app called GPS Logger. Not enough times to warrant a condition for it to start whenever I boot up the phone. So, I disabled it's Startup Receiver that is android.intent.action.BOOT_COMPLETED. See, now it stays off upon reboot.

That applies for every other broadcast receiver, like:

Network connectivity changed Apps that start up whenever your internet connectivity turns on or off WiFi connectivity changed Apps that start up whenever your WiFi turns on or off Package Added Apps that start up whenever you install an app

See how that can make your phone constantly load apps in the background. This way we limit them, and free up more RAM space for the apps we really need.

It seems to be a lot of work to do it manually and all at once, but when you do it app by app upon a finished installation, it becomes second nature to do so.

This is just a quick overview. When you familiarize yourself with the app, you can do A LOT of advanced tweaks. But, that familiarization process depends on you. You won't learn if you don't break stuff

NEVER TOUCH SYSTEM APPS! At least until you REALLY know what you're doing.

What I do is that I have it set-up to 'Show the component info after an app installed', which is a check-box at the main screen of the app. That then starts the MyAndroidTools every time I install any app and gives you an overview of everything this app does. So from there you can toggle off BOOT_COMPLETED broadcast receiver as well as other receivers such as turning on or off wifi and so on.

Alternatively go in the menu and then Apps and that gives you a list of all your app. Click one and then go to see all component info and that gives the same described in the above paragraph.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] polfrank:
Is it OK to edit with Android tools system apps like youtube, Chrome and hangouts, that I have normally frozen?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
No need.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] polfrank:
So, a frozen app has no impact on anything, right?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
If you've frozen them already then why tweak further...

Yes... no impact
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanlaki:
[MENTION=5043095]Tomo123[/MENTION] [MENTION=7064381]jonathansmith[/MENTION]

Thanks for clearing that up

I only use whatsapp and it looks that that one cause GPServices alarms, I actually disabled sone of them(i googled "google play services safe to disable"), i know that may not be thebest idea but for now i dont have any issues and alarms droped to 20% :)
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
No problem. Which google play services did you disable?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Riiiiight ... thanks for sharing and thus trying to help others, who actually already helped you. [MENTION=7061627]ivanlaki[/MENTION]
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] ivanlaki:
Sorry for not answering but it was just a placebo, it was a thread on some forum but for older version of google play services.. i dont know why and how but for example if i reboot my phone 6 times, 3 times will be great and google play services would make only 10%alarms,and other 3 times would make 35%, really dont know why, ive disabled all my 3rd party apps from running when phone boots(except whatsapp) and basically all of them are greenified with greeinify after i use any of it, so im still having problem, sorry for not saying that
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] polfrank:
Hello, I would like your help on something. I had my Android tools installed and everything seemed fine. Until today, that when I tap on the app in the launcher it does not open and the launcher freezes for 2-3 seconds. After that, the launcher works at it should, but my Android tools never open. I tried everything clear app cache, data, clear device cache and dalvik-cache but in vain. I reboted after every action. Does anyone have anything in mind?

EDIT:

It seems like I found the source of the problem.

My Android Tools does not work with Xposed Framework(zip) installed. It would be nice if someone else could confirm this too.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Ermm btw in MyAndroidTools there's like a **** load of stuff to be disabled in broadcast receivers/actions/boot completed/third party AND system ... but be careful with system ... there's a lot to disable there as well but be sure u know what u r doing.

[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
You can.

[MENTION=4722961]polfrank[/MENTION] And I think I mentioned multiple times to avoid Xposed.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] polfrank:
You mean it as an advice, or because it is not working with my Android tools (I don't know if this applies for everyone though)? Because, I really like amplify + greenify. Today that I installed xposed again, I'm going to check the battery life compared to the set up without it (just Kernel Adiutor + My Android Tools).
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Tomo123:
As an advice. Multiple members reported lags with xposed, too.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] kamil79123:
Yea, i am one of them. Just when installed framework and re-booted phone it started to lagging hard. I think we do not need any greenify or amplify. Battery drain in deepsleep is like 1% for 2 hours.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] midzan21:
I would agree with last part of post.... For me battery drain was about 3% in 5 hours of not-using phone at night with syncing 4 Gmails, Facebook, WhatsApp and weather widget... Now would see how long it would take to drain phone with 8 Gmails and other stuff mentioned above (did Factory reset tonight, charged phone and still using it while setting up some stuff what I need and battery is about 80% with about 2h of SOT)
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yes, me too. ~0,4%/h at night, syncing 2 gmails and WhatsApp.

I would like to ask: what about sensors usage on your devices? Mine is around 3h on 9h from unplugging.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Where is lg mlt setting placed? I cannot find it out in the service menu. I'm on v10c
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
For me it's under Hidden menu/SVC menu/MLT ... but i'm on v10h so dunno if that helps u.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] :
Yes, thanks.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Randar EST:
The most recent LMK values kill all my background apps, like Twilight and Weather XL... Returned back to older values. Actually I noticed my Spirit was very fast with the new values, so maybe someone can give me some advice, so that the phone flies and my background apps work?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
Could it be from 'Recently' and its settings or perhaps under 'Developer options' there are options in the section at the very bottom called 'Apps' - dont keep activities, background process limit, etc.

Edit: what are your settings in Recently? Do u have it set up to show running apps only?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Randar EST:
Well I don't believe it is caused by Recently or developer options (which are disabled on my phone). I don't believe it is Recently because I switched back to older settings and now everything is fine. Yes, running apps only
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
You switched back to older Recently settings or older overall phone settings proposed by Tomo? To rule out that Recently is not the culprit, try with other settings for it.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Randar EST:
No no no:D At the moment I have set Recently both options to Running Apps Only, I meant that I switched back to older LMK settings ("Aggressive" preset). All other settings are as Tomo123 suggested
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
cool .. which one of the 2 - performance or battery? The ones for battery really didn't work well for me. I'm testing the ones for performance now and will report on that. But I know that some of the settings from early January, which I have set up as profiles in KA, worked really well ... might switch back to them at some point.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Randar EST:
I have both profiles... I use performance for heavy gaming and battery for everyday or light gaming... Switching between the profiles is actually very annoying, as it takes up to 2 minutes to switch profile... Anyone else having the same bug?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
I dont have that bug. Why/how come it takes so long? Don't get it... it normally takes .. 3 taps, really.

Aren't the battery settings sorta sluggish for you?
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] Randar EST:
Well a bit yes... But it don't mind as it saves battery very good.

:D
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] sotoLOTO-:
For me somehow SURPRISINGLY, the performance settings save more battery than the battery settings. No idea why ... LOL :) will keep on testing to have a realistic opinion.
[LG Spirit Guides, News, & Discussion] kamil79123:
Today my battery is freaking good. I was watching video on opera browser (cda site) (paranormal activity) for 2 hours on 100% display brightness plus some background applications like snapchat, weather, communicator.

No doubt. Before his tweaks this phone was nearly unusable.

Thanks for the info, Kamil. Was that with the performance or battery settings?
