Hello everyone, this is my first post here so go easy on me
The battery on my optimus one doesn't see the day out, is there a ROM that can help, I noticed someone posted that their battery lasted 3 days.
I've managed to root my phone and installed recovery, just need pointing in the right ROM/kernel direction.
Many thanks in advance

flash this kernel
switch off wifi,bluetooth,gps,data by dragging notification bar and tapping on the ocons.
reduce display brightness from settings>display>brightness (select lwest, atleast thts wat i use
flash void kernel, and install gapps, tapps , a2sd and blink modules.
when the rom is fully installed and running use setcpu to manage cpu 122/600.
turn off wifi, bluetooth, gps.
now your device life is about 30 hrs
The quickest fix would be to switch of 3G(2G only mode), WiFi when not in use, GPS, bluetooth, data enabled off, etc. These can be done with the Power Control widget or from the drag down notification bar. Big effect even without flashing a custom rom
Depending on your usage mate.
But yeah pretty much what everyone else said . Indoor I keep my brightness lvl almost 0. The screen ain't that shabby and it does a pretty good job even outdoors at a bit above half brightness.
I always keep my network on 2g mode OFF and I don't let my phone use data connection unless I want to use 3G network.
Also get an app for clearing memory a bit . I use android assistant which is pretty much an all in one . Great app I'd say , monitors CPU usage and has quick boost for lazy clearing up memory , manual clearing up memory and ofc you can ignore some app processes like for ex. setCPU
As a sidenote , if you have most of the time above 260-270 memory free your phone should hold in average usage for at least 2 days.
I for example on one charge's worth with the above settings , can watch 2 hours of video , at least one hour of browsing , some video games and reading books .
Going slightly off topic, how do I get into recovery mode?
When I installed it I got there, did a nand back up and the rebooted.
Now when I hit Vol down/Power/Home it just starts up as normal?
I'm not very good at this stuff clearly, ha ha
I have trouble getting into the recovery too sometimes, since I can't hold the three buttons that long. Here's how I get to the recovery: Go to your terminal and type "reboot recovery". That should reboot and take you to it.

Done all that thanks.
Just another off topic question - in the ROM posts the instructions usually say something about moving the zip file to the SD card from your PC via USB.
Why wouldn't I download the zipfile straight onto the phone (like I did with your kernel) and install it that way?

Sorry I know I shoudn't be asking so many questions in so many posts but can you confirm what was contained in your kernel please?

Turn off 3G, turn on only when needed
Settings -> Location -> Untick ''Wireless Networks and GPS Satelites''
Settings ->Accounts -> Untick Background data (Unless you want to use market)
Settings -> Wirelless -> Advanced -> Wifi sleep policy -> Never
Use phone on 2G, unless using internet (then switch to 3G mode)
Data traffic always OFF (Use only when needed)
Backlight low or Auto Brightness (And allow light to decrease)
Turn off wireless, basically everything turned off with the power control widget, turn on when necessary
Install task manager and set auto-kill mode to crazy on switch off screen mode (Put apps that always run in ignore list e.g. Launcher, Messaging. Basically the necessities)
Install SetCPU (After rooting your phone) - Min CPU 122mhz, Max CPU ~700mhz - 'On demand' profile
SetCpu - Profiles -> Screen Off -> Min 122mhz, Max 122mhz, Performance mode
Upgrade to Froyo 2.2 - Enable JIT (Saves battery on 2.2+)
Switch to a Cyanogenmod Rom
Enable undervolting (Only for CyanogenMOD roms)
Use RenderFX widget (CyanogenMOD, best to use low red, best to use when you are heading out)
Cyanogenmod - Spare Parts -> End Button Behaviour -> Go to sleep
LAST, but NOT LEAST, if you notice no significant increase in battery life, then your battery is no calibrated right! So go to market, download 'Battery Calibration', and charge your phone to 100%. Next, if its abbout 4000v - 4200v, your phone is correctly calibrated!
If its not 4000 -4200, press the ''calibrate'' button, and let your phone die out, then fully charge it (while its still powered off). Wait till light is green, TURN ON.
After boot, battery will not be 100% yet, reboot once more, charge to 100% (while phone is on), and check your new calibrated battery! It should now be 4000 to 4200v
I know there might be programs and applications to increase your battery life, but I dont have any experience with these, so feel free to post your experiences! Some examples may include juicedefender, etc
Anyone wants to add to this list, feel free =)

I don't know what goes wrong, but mine losts for only one day. If i have charged it overnight the battery is empty the next evening
No task managers. The phone manages its RAM well and the battery will last longer. For normal uses upto 1.5 days and for heavy users 1 day.

and here I heard installing juicedefender does more damage than good too.. what to believe? Everything is based on peoples hearsay and no evidence..
On my girl friends X10 mini I changed from ADW launcher to Helixlauncher and changed the brightness to auto. That made a HUGE difference.
Was on vacation and turned off 3G because I was not gonna use any expenisve data. That alone boosted my batterylife about 1 days worth.

people can do much to boost battery time, like turn off 3g, brightness control, turn off gps and so on, that all helps the battery
I have switched of almost everything and still get about 1 day of battery with about 2-3Hrs of music and a few calls and videos.
is it ok?
I get over 48 hours and I use the wifi a lot and do about 30mins of calls a day.
My tips:
* turn background data off and manually update ur emails when u want - this is the best tip I put it on my blog too
* manually enable network data when u need it
* use the top button to go on standby as soon as you are done using the phone
* keep gps, 3g and wifi off unless u want to use it
Sent from my U20i using XDA App
I have background data off.
No emailing whatsoever till now....
Almost 75% of the time in standby
Gps 3G wifi bluetooth are off.
Yet with stock launcer i get 24Hrs
Helix 30Hrs..
Why?
Its been two weeks(or 3) since i bought the phone...
Please reply.
BTW when did you buy the phone?
^^Ok.
I have come to know the problem.
Running any apps in background like Battery Indicator or task manager brings down the battery so much(the latter not much though)..
Because daily i used to get the above with battery indicator pro on.
But after uninstalling it i got about double that battery life..
So people better don't run them all the time.
task manager can be used sometimes about once every 2 hrs o so.
This increased my battery life so much on stock launcher
Just got the pro today. Will be ditching my X2 depending on the performance of this one after a week. So far, I love the mini pro for the fact that I can now hear my incoming messages and calls!
A couple of questions though:
1) Is there a way to wake up the screen when an SMS arrives?
2) Custom ringtone per contact?
3) Is there a way to disable screen lock when the phone goes to sleep by itself (not pressing the power button) ?
4) Is there a way to unlock the screen without the need to press the left button, I was hoping to go directly to the pattern unlock after i turn on the phone
Still getting used to the keyboard lay-out as I've been using X2 for almost 6 months.

I use Chomp SMS app and this allows the screen to wake-up, I think Handcent SMS does too. I never used the stock SMS app so not sure if there is a way to do it with that.

Not sure if this answers your question, I just press the Menu button twice to unlock the phone, never used the power button to wake it up funnily enough, only used the power button go in to sleep mode. When I press Menu button it wakes up to the pattern unlock.

Nice, i'll try to look for those apps. I did try the menu button and it worked. At least this relieves stress on the power button since I won't be using it to wake-up the phone anymore.
How's about not locking the phone when it goes to sleep? Unless I press the power button?
After a day with it, battery is now @ 30%+. Hope it improves or SE comes out with a high capacity.
Hi, where is the disable 3G button?
I can't seem to find it. I found wifi on and off.
and I unchecked location with gps.
thanks
Helix launcher is the best thing I installed to my mini pro. Batt life is now 3-4 days regular use and 5 days if i don't play games. Games are draining the batt quickly.
I'm totally getting rid of my X2.
3 to 4 days? Lol how can that be possible.. Did you use 3g?

I can prove it, there's a display in the phone where it says # of hours unplugged. If it's not working for you, doesn't mean it shouldn't for others as well. If you barely make 2 days, then that's what we should be LOLing about.
My setting is as follows:
- 2g only
- 1 to 2 hours of wifi and bluetooth per day
- 1 to 2 hours of games (love the games) per day
- tried GPS for 1 hour using mapdroyd
- a couple of calls and text messages per day
- tried watching a movie (AVI) for an hour using yxflash
- tried the media, played MP3s for an hour
- tried meebo for an hour
- I got my alarms ON always
- notifications ON always
- custom led lights for new SMS (using ringo pro) always
- max volume for the entire day
- medium volume at night
- data connection off
- background data off
- screen brightness to zero but the sensor is still working (weird), the screens still adjusts to the surrounding
This is after installing helix. Before helix, I got a max of 1 and a half days only.

Hey guys just got a few quick questions, I know there is a likelihood this has been discussed elsewhere but I've not found the resources.
As much as I enjoy seeing a green battery icon ... it isn't of much use without a value. What's the best way to change this icon BUT without flashing a custom ROM, I like my ROM the way it is.
It appears I messed up in uninstalling the apk files ont he stock ROM as I removed the Task Manager, what apps can I use o replace this. I just want something I can use to switch between apps and is BOUND to the home button (long press).
I'm considering removing the camera app and sticking with Camera360 as my ONLY camera app, would this be a good idea. I'm assuming the latter has the originals feature set and much much more so I'm not losing anything at all. Given I've updated the firmware the quality should improve regardless of which app I use right?
Can someone please explain to me why there are 4 voice apps?
On my Desire I remember I could tell the phone NOT to sleep if it were charging, but I can't seem to find this option anywhere, does anyone know the exact location or is there an alternative app?
Is it just me, or does the normal OTA software update option not work? I tried it several times yesterday and I either got a failed connection or it just hung and did nothing ...
On my Desire I had a custom ROM and when I pressed the off button I got an option to reboot, any idea where I can get that option back?
I know since 2.2 they removed the vib->silent->normal settings when changing volume but I really need to use silent sometimes anyone know a way round this?
That's most of my questions for now, thanks for your help guys :-D.
This is interesting because I am very interested in most of these questions as well. Here is my opinions on each.
As much as I enjoy seeing a green battery icon ... it isn't of much use without a value. What's the best way to change this icon BUT without flashing a custom ROM, I like my ROM the way it is.
-There is battery icon mods, search for it in the Theme section

-The only Rom I know of that can change the long press of the home button is CM7.

I'm assuming the latter has the originals feature set and much much more so I'm not losing anything at all. Given I've updated the firmware the quality should improve regardless of which app I use right?
-The camera app is safe to remove. I would try Titanium and freeze it first if you're worried.

-You might want to detail these better.

-Dont know

-I dont think this comes in the stock rom. I'm on Cognition which has it.

As per the camera, backups aren't my concern more of getting the best quality and featureset.
I will look into tasker, though I was looking for something very light as I only need this one feature.
Rather stick with stock ROM for now, at least until I get a JIG
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
Sorry about that thanks.
Just as a quick update, reinstalled the Task manager app and placed the apk back in the system/app folder and it seems to work. Also the battery icon has been updated and looked great :-D.
[*]As per the camera, backups aren't my concern more of getting the best quality and featureset.
I think you underestimate Titanium, it does more than backups.
Oh I don't use Titanium for my backups, I like always starting from fresh, so my contacts, etc are backedup but apps and settings I always prefer doing from scratch.
I tried Camera 360 and unless I'm mistaken the quality seemed LESS than the default app, which was a let down. Maybe I will try again.

karan999's KF3 stock ROM with CF-Rooted KF3 kernel works perfectly, only concern is I feel like when I'm using the browser that the % drops like a rock in contrast to when I'm just doing normal activities like calls and text. In fact I can speak for quite some time and there's hardly a % change.

When you are browsing with WiFi in Stock browser then battery drains at a rate of 1% per 3/4 minutes. Try Opera, it's a little bit of less hogger
Regards.
I've been using 3G/HSDPA, no WiFi access here. I think on data it is about that about of % decrease for me. I can survive with it as I don't browse on the go much but at home it feels like a disappointment.
Anyone figured out how to replace the task manager for long press home button?
Hello, my name is Dan, i am new in this forum and i hope i will not broke any rule.
i am a new owner of galaxy s3 I9300, and i noticed a strange bug with my phone\android system.
my power saving mode have 4 options: "cpu limit", "fps limit for the screen", "color limit for mail and internet", "disable vibration".
i wont to use only 2 of them the "cpu limit" and "color limit for mail and internet", because the fps limit is pretty noticeable and i love to see my screen moving smooth.
soo let's get to the problem: when i turn on the power saving mode, everything is ok, the cpu limit working, i can see it in cpu+temp v2, and the screen option working too, and ever tying move smooth because i disabled the fps limit in power saving mode.
but when i press the the close button on the right side of the phone and re enter to the home screen, the screen move like the fps limit option is on (but it's not) i need to turn off and turn on again the battery save mode to disable again the fps limit option.
important to say that if you go to battery save mode options the fps limit is always turned off.
it's really annoying me, because every time you come back to home screen from black screen(turning off the screen with the button on the right side) you need to turn off and turn on the power save mode.
if some one can help me it will be grate.
information about my phone:
stock international version
no root
*#1234# - ap:i9300xxblh3
cp:i9300xxlh1
csc:i9300xefblh2
didn't install any power saving programs, or something that will effect the system, only games and casual apps

i didn't try.
Did you turn on power save mode(with fps reduce turned off, it's the second option), then pressed the power button, and the home screen was not slow? the fps looks normal when i swipe between icons?
if you try too see the animation difference between the two state, then turn off the fps limit in power saving mode, and make the test again, and say if you had the problem.
you suggest me to flash new rom or go to the shop i bought the phone and make them fix it ?
p.s. if i record a video of the problem it will help understand me batter?

yes i am! i think it's the best 4.2.2 feature-rich stable rom. Until kitkat gets the stability and all the features of JB 4.2.2, i'll keep it.
I just have a boring "smscallservicewakelock" wakelock when making calls, but it seems an AOKP bug that has been fixed in Android 4.3. Unfortunately Rootbox never reached 4.3 update.
If you downloaded this unofficial Rootbox version somewhere, maybe you can put the link here for (rare) people that are searching it on Google

(download BetterBatteryStats_xdaedition_1.15.0.0.apk from 2nd post)
This application will reveal some important things:
-the phone awake time/screen on time/deep sleep time -> the minutes the phone was sleeping, was being used, was doing something on screen off
-the "operations" that keep your phone awake
-the time the CPU spends in max speed, medium speed, low speed
2) open it for the first time, go in settings -> advanced -> root features and enable it
3) reboot the phone one time, charge the phone fully 100% and then use it normally during a day without connecting it to the charger (or at least 12 hours of standard use).
4) once enough time passed, come back here and upload screenshots from BetterBatteryStats, selecting UNPLUGGED from the second row of the main screen:
-select OTHER from the first row and make a screenshot of the screen (power button + volume down button)
-select CPUSTATES from the first row and make screenshots (3) to get all the states visible
-then select KERNEL WAKELOCK, PARTIAL WAKELOCKS, ALARMS from the same row and make enough screenshots for each section to show the most relevants wakelocks/applications (more than 5 minutes)

If you don't know how to use BBS and need some other help play with it a bit/search guides. If you do know then just post the requested screenshots. In both cases, the information we'll see will be extremely important to know what's sucking battery

no problem guy happy to see that you sorted it out. If you ever encounter the same problem again, verify, from BetteBatterystats:
- the % of 1,2GHZ speed time (if the cpu always run at maximum speed then there's some app/process that is killing your battery)
- if there are long/unknown wakelocks that keep your phone awake -> search them on google and discover what they are
See you around

Hey there. Just want to help you guys in case you suffer from poor battery life. Just follow the steps below to get the most of your battery life without using any 3rd party app or even rooting your Android! Believe me, you will be amazed at the results.
From novice newcomers to ace Android enthusiasts, this is for all.
--------------- APPLIES FOR NON-ROOT + ROOT -------------
My TIPS, non-root and no 3rd party app required.
*Keep your location permission off as much as possible. I mean use only when required using that quick toggle on the QS tile. And then grant that permission only to the apps you really need. Check the permission list and you will find many apps having that permission for absolutely no reason and that counts! I found that the Google app's gonna drain a lot with location on. So I turned off for it as well as the play services! Your preference might vary!
Go to : Settings - Security & Location
*Totally disable the Google Location History for all the Google accounts you have logged in to on your Android. What it does is that it keeps record of your location from time to time in background which results in drain!
Go to : Settings - Security & Location - Location - Google Location History
*Okay Google hotword from ANY SCREEN in the Google app DISABLED! Well, I think I needn't describe. Just keeping it on results in a significant battery drain!
Go to : Google - Settings - Voice - Voice match
*Background sync totally turned off. That quick QS tile for sync is not available in this ROm yet. Don't know why! But that doesn't mean you keep that Auto-sync on. Who needs to refresh every hour! I totally disable to Auto-sync of Google apps. You can see there as well that turning it off saves battery, mate!
Go to : Settings - Users and Accounts - Automatically sync data (In older versions, tap the menu in the right side and turn it off there)
*System animation down to 0.5 for all three options out there in Developer options. Not only this speeds up the whole thing, but also ensures more juice at the cost of less animations!
Go to : Settings - System - Developer Options - Drawing
*Keep your eyes on Bluetooth and WiFi toggles. Ensure that they are OFF WHEN YOU DON'T NEED THEM. SAME WITH DATA AS WELL!
Go to : Nowhere. They are in your notification shade!
*Ensure that WiFi and Bluetooth scanning are turned OFF in the location settings. They will just eat away the battery life.
Go to : Settings - Security & Location - Location - Scanning
*Under display, turn off the screen saver. You'll never need it!
Go to : Settings - Display - Screensaver
*Turn off Ambiant display there as well! We don't have Amoled display on our Land. So it drains our battery! Simple as that.
Go to : Settings - Display - Ambiant Display
*If possible (I am okay with this) turn off Adaptive brightness when you are at home or don't need it to get charged frequently. There is an option to add a quick toggle right next to the brightness bar in the notification shade. I never turn on the adaptive-brightness. It sure helps save some juice as well!
Go to : Settings - Display - Adaptive Brightness
To add that quick toggle on notification shade,
Go to : Settings - Personalization - Quick settings - Turn on both brightness slider and icon.
*Set it to sleep in between 15-30 seconds of inactivity. Cause screen is the biggest water of battery itself. Those tiny changes do count in the final battery life. In case you are reading sth, the Caffeine feature has got your back!
Go to : Settings - Display - Sleep
*Controlling your display brightness manually will really help bro. Just keep it at the bare minimum yet comfortable. In evening, I perfectly fine with brightness level of 7%. Why bother turning on Adaptive-brightness?
Go to : Brightness slider in notification shade.
*Night light. Just set time or leave it as is. Use the QS tile toggle it on or off when required! Choosing sunset to sunrise needs your location and you know what I am referring to next!
Go to : Settings - Display - Night Light
For the quick toggle, press the edit button on your notification shade. Add that from there.
*Screen Orientation. Yup, keep this in check. Never turn on auto-rotate. You don't even need to! What it does that it keeps using sensor to know the device orientation, thus using more battery! You cannot always toggle it on there. But don't keep it on when you don't need!
Go to : Your notification shade.
*Disable or uninstall the apps you don't use! And which apps keep eating your battery on background (i.e Facebook, Instagram, Twitter etc), deny them from doing so on the application settings. Toggling off their background usage will enforce them to just do the bare minimum instead of just killing battery adruptly! Do the same with App Data Usage option as well! Deny them from using data in background. You can always open the app to use.
Go to : Settings - Apps and notifications.
*Turn off notifications for the apps you don't need to show up! Accept this. There are many apps on your land, whose notification don't really matter to you! That saves you battery.
Go to : Settings - Apps and notifications.
*Turn off the vibrations everywhere! I have turned off keyboard vibrations. Navigation button vibrations. And have turned off vibrations for the notification of any app. Be it any app, I don't need my land to vibrate for a notification! It sure saves the juice.
Go to : Settings - Sound - Advanced - Vibrate on tap.
Disable app notification vibrations individually.
*Use as less widgets as possible on your launcher! More widgets means more BG activity for information update which ultimately results in battery drain! And yes, don't forget to set a static wallpaper in case you use a live one! Why? You use more energy while running or standing?
Go to : Your app launcher.
*Use CCleaner for cleaning purpose. I recommend it. Cache cleanings is all you need. And please, please never kill apps or use Clean master or apps like that. In the name of RAM cleaning, cooling they kill the running processes. Which never helps actually. When you need the app again, they will consume battery life to launch. Think of repairing a little motherboard with damaged RAM and purchasing a whole new one! Which needs more money?!
Go to : Google Play store - CCleaner
*Turn off weather on Lock screen if you have it turned on. You know why? It needs your location!
Go to : I won't tell. Because it's off by default. If you have it on, then you know it already!
*Use lite versions of the social, shopping or whatever apps you need (i.e. Facebook Lite instead of Facebook, Messenger Lite instead of Messenger, Flipkart Lite). Lite apps need less horsepower, less resources, less storage and ultimately less battery! Those instant apps are handy as well!
*Finally, blocking ads sure saves your data, time and battery. Try AdGuard once you will be amazed!
Go to : www.AdGuard.com
If you want it free, PM me. I can't provide the mod link here. Any mod for that app is for educational purpose.
For YouTube video ads, use this mod-
*YouTube iYTBP mod with MicroG-
https://drive.google.com/drive/mobile/folders/1RNk38edZgHvNlJ5TN3jkSImox4BJOC2P?usp=sharingno
Uninstall the official YouTube first. You will never need that again!
Then install the modded YouTube, don't open it yet Install MicroG. Then open the modded YouTube and login n enjoy!
That's all mates Never thought that this list was gonna this big. But I just kept writing! Love to help others. Please do all I have told above and the results will be there. One more thing, I've not rooted my phone. I've the 2 GB variant so on rooting, I run out of RAM and the system crawls down! I don't use Greenify. Doze on Oreo is more than good to make me forget that app. Absolute zero drain on sleep! I love Oreo.
Thanks a lot for reading this. Hope it helps! If you like it, give it a thumbs up! I'll appreciate. Any doubt? Just ask below. I will reply ASAP!
Below goes some SS of my SOT with above settings in which Data was on all the time!

If you use it very frequently and need to get all the messages from your friends in time, then you shouldn't. And if you don't need those notifications to hang out there in the notification shade and see the messages only when you want to see them and respond, then you should disable BG activity. ?
In my case, I have it disabled.
For Google, go to the settings - voice - voice match.
There, ensure that "say Ok Google anytime is disabled!
For weather, go to settings - personalization - Lock screen - weather. Ensure that it's off. I asked to turn it off if it has been turned on. It's off by default though.

Are you sure? Please verify all the steps again! My current idle drain is almost 0! I wonder how you manage to drain 20%! Post your idle battery usage screenshot here along with your app battery consumption.

I fear you have a virus! I mean 20% is insane. Yeah! Clean flash it and do all I have suggested. Don't root it. I repeat, don't root. Test battery life unrooted. May be you will find the ultimate reason behind this drain. Back up your WhatsApp on phone. Don't forget to backup your WhatsApp folder in your internal storage on your SD card. After clean flashing, just put the WhatsApp folder back in internal storage. Then install WhatsApp. You won't need internet to restore your backup. As you are clean sweeping your internal storage, ensure you backup all your important things.. ?
