- In ExKernel Manager is a nice feature called Power Save switch/mode you can use it in Quick Menu or like widget (is a nice thing for surfing or YouTube video watching)

Settings> Power and Performance > Advanced > Power Save Mode Options

- MAX CPU Frequency: 1593Mhz

- Biger Cores: OFF

- MAX GPU Frequency: 320Mhz

- Lower brightnes: OFF

- OFF Vibrations: OFF

To use that switch you need to:

Pool down status bar > edit quick menu/settings > and look for a thing called Powersave with leaf icon on it.

Thermal MOD made by myself: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13s7SymozDb_iJF1badpLAw-l62N8CHBR/view?usp=sharing

Copy it into /vendor/etc

(Thermal throttling start from 47C and ends at 55C)

(Stock Thermal start from 41C and ends at 50C)

If you still get a throttling you can aslo disassemble your phone and change the thermal conductor (I in my case i've used a small copper plate (13x13x0.7mm) bettwen CPU and Heatpipe + thermal paste).

If you want get some extra juce remember, axon 7 have a amoled display. Soooo use black wallpapers and theme in OS (Display>Advanced>Style and there choose Black in Black :D).

On this setup i get easily 6-8 Screen Time and 84 hours when screen is off.

My AccuBattery screen:

And thats all, if you have some nice tweaks please share with it in comment selection.

Thanks:
