[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
With elite kernel + overclock at 2.5 GHz.

Stock kernel is better for battery and seems to be better for performance.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
[MENTION=6891123]iXaidyiu[/MENTION] what would you like to say about in defence of elite kernel ? :P
[Sony Cross-Device General] iXaidyiu:
But of a more stable TWRP and F2FS(coming soon).
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
Yes I wait new update for F2FS. I never had problems in twarp.Also battery is draining fast with elite kernel. I hope that in new version this problem will be fixed. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
And after getting reviews from you guys about the new update, then I will unlock my bootloader :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
Don't forget to make backup at DRM keys.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
I taked to Paget96 about this decrease in UX score issue. He said he's making improvements atm and I hope it will be fixed soon enough. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] iXaidyiu:
A day with and without L Speed (the gap in the middle of the curve separate the two) and STAMINA.

//4 hrs SOT is too mean.

//Close to FAIR TEST standard.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
How I can get battery graph skin like you?
[Sony Cross-Device General] whalesplaho:
Please someone share tha theme for dis nav bar.... Is Lspeed safe to use or should wait for update?
[Sony Cross-Device General] iXaidyiu:
By N-ify.

It is a Google Play paid theme called Insta, developed by desmobox.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dendis:
Existenz +powernap +stamina+amplify +lspeed +greenify +forcedoze +battery governor

Worst battery life :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] iXaidyiu:
Withstand more than one day and you still call it worst:eek:

And there could be possible conflict between the following pairs of apps:

PowerNap && Stamina: They are probably the same thing.

L Speed && Battery Governer: They are both kernel modifiers so conflicts are expected.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dendis:
In stamina i Have only whitelisted PowerNap. And why the guide has powernap if they conflict?

Battery Governer is from L SPeed settings.

Edit: By the way, we dont need those BLACK SCREEN settings, because our screen is LCD and not AMOLED, therefore every single pixel in LCD is always 100% light, while Amoled decide it to the color they need to represent.
[Sony Cross-Device General] iXaidyiu:
PowerNap is useful for non-Xperia-stock devices. But, but it should also serve a good purpose if it is carefully configured in Xperia stock-based-ROMs.

The apps on your whitlist, as you said, is obviously not enough, you need to put all the every other battery savers on the whitelist of every battery saver. In that case, all the battery savers can still work when the screen is off and they are not killing each other to burn your battery juice.

Edit: As [MENTION=4865506]Dr. Death[/MENTION] and I have tested, although our screen is made of IPS technology, it still drain less battery when black notification is adopted. I personally have tested it.

//And the reason behind why it happens on a IPS display is idk...
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
Good? :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Dendis:
Show me your stamina, powernap, forcedoze whitelists.

I have a point.

What I want to say, that either this guide has to use Stamina and whitelist ForceDoze, Greenify, Amplify, ForceDoze, LSpeed and other apps, that people need.

Or then disable Stamina and just use PowerNap with the same whitelists.

PowerNap and Stamina I think conflicts each other and therefore this guide can be a little sloppy.

EDIT: Also, I dont think, that LSpeed "tweaks" add any good things to our software. I`m not sure, but I dont think so.

I remember niaboc said, that he doesnt use any greenifies or other apps, as they are placebos.

And he just hates XPOSED :D

Depends on your usage, but yes, you are a happy person!
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:
Find the best battery life is just stock values that come with the rom
[Sony Cross-Device General] iXaidyiu:
No tweaks at all? Can you post some screenshots of SOT and as well as a single charge endurance?
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:
Yes no tweaks at all,only using force doze which isn't really a tweak and no WiFi just mobile data on Pandemic rom for xperia z3,I tested tweaks and found the battery draining a lot quicker than usual
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
I think that greenify, amplify and force doze saves battery, not draining it. I don't tested other tweak.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
The rom by Pandemic already had rewrited super scripts. Also Pandemic told me this

"Rxs SuperB tweak, it sets also even animation scale to 0.25 because the standard settings dont have it it ha e only 0.50 and it controls also the ram, perfomance, speed, java in android and batterylife (i beat KK with my tweak"

So his rom has more battery life than stock. And his rom has an option which prevents google play services from running in background (not always ) but this saves a lot of battery.

That's why you have more battery on stock.:)
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:
Where's the option to prevent play services running in the background
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
I dont know brother. Someone told me on other thread.
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:
Which one :thumbup:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
The extreme battery thread by v7. Search there bro :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] iXaidyiu:
In AppsOpsXposed, select Google Play Service then uncheck the following.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
After from this there was other option, which is not in our rom sadly :/
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
The best till now.

I have one question :

Cpu underclock helps to save battery.(I'm thinking to set maximum frequency at 1,7ghz).:)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
This is great. Seriously great.

And how did you underclocked the cpu. Using some app ?

And underclocking won't affect performance.

And sorry was out for a few days :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
1. Powernap is like a stamina mode for non-xperia users. I've added it to the list beacuse I used this for 2-3 months and it worked great. But it had one bug. And that is why I've not explained how to use powernap and just given a link to v7's thread. And now i dont tell like using it beacuse stamina mode does the same job without and bug or conflicts. And you should know, if you have stamina mode working, why would you us powernap.

2. Try reading the thread first. I've already accepted that the black screen settings works great on on Amoled and "not so great" on our LCD devices. But then, I've also showed you the results. And results don't lie. :) They are still added in the OP beacuse those methods gave results.

Yes , all the other battery saves should be whitelisted or else some of them will not work resulting in conflicts.

Thankyou for your answer though. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
Ohhhh, i missed that. Sorry.

Yes, that's why i said , Lspeed is an app that cant be missed :)

And rather Paget96 is making some battery improvements, and i can feel the difference in beta 2. Lets hope for the best and fingers crossed. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] whalesplaho:
Is Lspeed safe to use?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
Safe as in ? I wont explode your phone i can guarantee that.

And i have been using l speed since 3-4 months. No false effects.
[Sony Cross-Device General] whalesplaho:
Okay buddy..... Thanks for tha tut!

Great buddy!

When my phone sleeps, it safes lot of juice but when im using, it drains especially with data on
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
Use the thanks button buddy.

Yes, mobile data eats a lot and lots of battery die to many reasons. Some of them are mobile radio packets and fast dormancy. I can't find a fix for mobile radio active bug but ll be sharing fix for fast dormancy soon , as soon as I get my lappy back (3-4 days ) approx.:)
[Sony Cross-Device General] whalesplaho:
Great.... I do be waiting for tha fast dormancy tweak!!

Please shorten tha days buddy;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
I use no-frills cpu.I underclocked at 1,2Ghz, I will share the results.Till now I don't see lag in sample tasks and small games.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
I have given my laptop to someone bro.

Ll try to update using my mobile :)

Sure, i would also like to see the results. Also overclock and report us back if you can ?
[Sony Cross-Device General] [Fenix]:
Hey bud, I suggest you this one for fast dormancy fix https://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2382680

For mobile radio active bug there is a module on xposed framework ("mobile radio active fix") :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
Yes this is the thread I've used for my device but ll it was little complex for me. So ll post it in easier words. Though , this is the only method.

And that xposed module doesn't works anymore :/
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
I use stock kernel, so I can't overclock.

My battery is not discharging constantly from 15%.

Especially from 14% to 8%(draining fast). When reach at 6 % draining slow and also from 4% to 1% (draining slow). I tried to calibrate it but I get the same results. :(

Sorry for bad english. :p
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
I think the battery counter is getting freezed at some point like you said 15% and then it is draining fast from 14-8 %. Do a complete discharge and then charge it to straight 100% and see what happens.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
I did this now. Yesterday I discharged completely my battery and I charged to 100% with phone off.

I'll see the results. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] whalesplaho:
Good buddy..... Out of thanks!
[Sony Cross-Device General] [Fenix]:
Wow it's a shame that after, maybe two years, there is not a fix for this bug from Google (https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=190396 still on slow priority lol). Well I've used the module since I was on 5.0, now I'm on 5.1.1, and it seems to work, or at last I don't see high number under "mobie radio active". Feel's good man :D

Anyway good job on the thread, I'm keeping eyes on this :good: :highfive:
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
DK about Lollipop but it doesn't work on MM. I can see high packets received. :/

Thank you so much :) just trying to help people out ;)
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
Unfortunately Cpu underclock is not efficient for save the battery.

I get the same results.I don't see lag in daily tasks, only heavy games like nfs have little bit.Even tried.

And about battery counter..same problem 14-8% draining fast, and from 4% to 1% draining slow, whatever that it's not a big problem. :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
Yep, yesterday I tried CPU underclocking and deleted in half an hour when I saw no improvement in battery.

Idk about 14-8% but in 4-1% the battery drains slow beacuse Sony has made it like this. So that a person can have some extra time and he can put his phone to charger, rather than th phone going off. :)

Though happy with your results.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
Changelog

Step 11 in the OP :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:
After following the play services drain fix, it's using more than usual and above screen why is this
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
Show me you Appopsxposed configuration and BBS<partail wakelocks screens page ? And you have to charge to 100% and then see if it is draining or not ?

Also go to Appopsxposed < Settings < Hacks < Fix OP_WAKE_LOCK.
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:
My appsopsxposed is as you said to put it and I only just installed bbs so the graph doesn't show
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
Okay. Enable that fix_op_wake lock options and see the results. And post the BBS partial wakelocks tomorrow. Then we will limit the drainers in Amplify for more battery juice :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:

On existenz I got 56-57 without the drivers.

After the driver the max I've got is approx 62 k.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
From 100% to 1%

Existenz 5.6.5 with stock kernel. Grennify(donation package) + amplify + force doze, I've set these applications same like in this tutorial. From 77% my background was black, also keyboard skin and notification panel was black . Brightness level was between 40% and 50% (can't set lower because I don't see anything when I am outside) and set lcd density at 430. Most time data connection was enable (3G).

Honestly, I don't see any difference after installing grennify and other battery saver application. No offense, this tutorial is great but I think that these applications can't save battery when screen is on. For example try to play Real Racing, I bet can get 4hr with brightness set over 50%. In daily use you can't reach 9hr.

Again: it's just my opinion, no offense.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
Few things for you :-

- When I was testing my brightness was set to minimum. And was at 100% for 15 minutes. So, there I would have taken some juice.

- 3g/4g surely eats more battery than WiFi. My testing was on simply on WiFi. Make sure the next time you try you are on WiFi.

- what all apps you've greenified ?

- Share your amplify's Conf.xml . I would like to have a look.

- Plus you were watching YouTube videos for more than 1 hr and on 50% brightness and you know how much battery would that have taken. See hor DOT you get without using YouTube ?

- Obviously, I never mentioned playing games would help. Cause playing games eats a hell lot battery.

- What social apps do you use ?

Tell me these things. Ll try to help you as much as I can :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
I agree with these things. Plus I bought my phone almost 1 month from someone. So I don't know how old it's the battery. But with stock MM got 5hr 45min (without root, grennify or another battery saver, only stamina).I use only whatsapp.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
bro, click on show more apps ang greenify some more. i've greenified most of the apps except instant messengers and xposed modules. can you show me your amplify setings. ? and have you rebooted after setting up amplify?
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
Yes I rebooted after set amplify. Soon I will flash stock rom to see battery performance.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
bro please limit something in amplify first. you've not even set up the app.

[Sony Cross-Device General] Knutselmaaster:
Great stuff, thank you for helping out the community.

You are wrong on the "black is better" though, that only counts for amoled displays. On LCD it is the other way around, more energy is used for black as all color fiters are used to cover the backlight to create black. This is even visible when you look at black on your screen through an angle (you can see the backlight bleeding through)

Talking about backlight, as the screen is the biggest consumer of your battery life, lowering the brightness is the best battery saving measure.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
I've set amplify same like in this thread http://xdaforums.com/android/general/guide-extreme-battery-life-t3095884/page1187

I will try to set again. Thanks again.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
Now it's ok? Where I can found amplify config.xml?
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
no you've done it wrong bro.

search for the mentioned wakelocks, alarms and services and limit then accordingly as stated in those threads.
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:

Please make use of Google Search,its great.
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
Long press on the wakelock you want to limit and then paste in amplify < wakelocks.

Edit. : It seems you don't use amplify. First set up amplify using the OP and then the extra BbS wakelocks.

[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
I'm pretty much satisfied with my battery life :).

Like earlier when I used to come home from college it was the battery was around 0-20% always. And now it has been above 40% most of the times.

Plus now i dont need to run for a charger :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:

[Sony Cross-Device General] iXaidyiu:
Follow this guide and disable LTE. Use only 3G and 2G.
[Sony Cross-Device General] bodomfan:
I don't use WiFi so 3g and 2g are too slow for me
[Sony Cross-Device General] iXaidyiu:
Then you need to make your choice again. Battery life or faster Internet?

//I prefer the later one:p
[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
If you use LTE , there is a 70% chance that you will have About 1 hour less SOT, that 3g.

But there are apps like Leandroid and Intelli3g which can turn your LTE to 3g or 2G when you lock your device and back to LTE when you turn it back on. You should give it a try :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
Only WiFi.

Since I installed AppOpsXposed and setting it my battery life is longer.:)

[Sony Cross-Device General] Bewildered Wolf:
U mean from 11 to 8 ? Uh lost 0%. That's great bro :)
[Sony Cross-Device General] cristixperia:
Yes. Weak signal eats the battery fast. Usually I lose 1% overnight but last night signal was strong and I've lost 0%. :)

Amplify and greenify are very good applications for save battery.

Yesterday I stayed outside almost 2h and my battery draining fast. Outside was -10C, and battery temperature was around 10-11C, also voltage was lower: at 40% has 3,610mv. When I arrived in home battery revert at normal values.

So this issue is from low temperature?
