Introducing, a new ROM based on the amazing acervenky's Vision™Rom,
TinyXperiaLite™
Many people want simple, fast and bloat free ROMs. They only want the bare minimum ROM so that they can freely add and tweak (the ROM or directly, the sources) so as to customize it as they please. I know I do. I want to take a minimum ROM, flash it on my phone and then add AC!D Audio Engine 5.0 and Sony Xperia T Small Apps to it. These are my personal modifications that suit me. And similarly, there will be modifications that will suit others as well. So, presenting TinyXperiaLite. The main purpose of this ROM is to enable you to make what you want for your device. Add apps, features, change boot animation, add ring tones and what not because this ROM weighs in only at 76 MB (for Release v0.1) and can support all your demands.

Battery & RAM Tweaking Guide
Battery Calibration Tutorial
FOR THOSE WITH BATTERY PROBLEMS:
1. After flashing your phone with a new ROM, install this software:
BATTERY CALIBRATOR on Play Store - 47 KB size
2. Then, charge your phone to 100%.
3. IMPORTANT. Remove CHARGER first.
4. IMMEDIATELY hit "Battery Calibration" (1 or 2 seconds delay is fine, wait for BATTERY voltage to drop and be stable)
5. Use your phone normally (don't charge in between) till it hits 1%.
6. Then charge your phone UNINTERRUPTED (leave it for charging all night) till 100%.
7. Unplug and start using. You should be having as little as 2-3% battery drain for 6-8 hours of IDLING now. That's the optimization of a calibrated battery.

Extra Battery Saving Tips:
1. Set a brightness level. Do not use Auto Brightness, it sips more power in turn.
2. Set ROTATION to OFF if you are not using Landscape Mode at all.
3. Use EXTENDED BATTERY Mode if you actively use WiFi/Mobile Data.
RAM Cleaning
- Do not use task killers
- Freeze/Move to Quarantine those APPS which you DO NOT USE regularly and you don't want them TO RUN IN THE BACKGROUND
APP QUARANTINE on Play Store
Go ahead, try it. Move all unwanted apps to quarantine now!
DEEP SLEEP STATE battery saving
Your phone sips the least amount of power when it is in DEEP SLEEP STATE. There is a new app in the marketplace which can FORCE DEEP SLEEP STATE on your phone. This is especially useful if you want the phone to conserve battery for hours and then wake up for a minute and sync all new alerts in one go. This can help prolong your usage on a single charge.
DEEP SLEEP BATTERY SAVER on Play Store
This app is under development and can be found on XDA developers forums itself. Here's the link to the thread:
[APP] [2.1+] Deep Sleep Battery Saver
How Deep sleep Battery Saver works
Deepsleep battery saver constantly puts the device to deepsleep mode while screen off. During deepsleep mode, Wifi, 3G are turned off, background apps are stopped. Therefore, most apps are not working, including Facebook, Google Service, etc,. It then constantly wakes up in order to download email, sync Facebook status, etc, which is defined by deepsleep frequency and woke up duration
By constantly put device into deepsleep mode, we will save battery life due to no Internet connection, and therefore most of network-based apps, such as Facebook, Gmail will not work.
Caution: during deepsleep mode on, this app may disrupt your normal activities, such as your email notification comes with larger delay.
In advanced mode, you can customize more parameters, including day/night settings, active period, screen timeout, sync strategy, ignored apps, etc,.

Hi,
I have an Xperia Mini Pro running stock 4.1.B.0.587 with MESA kernel 3.5. I have frozen/uninstalled quite a few of the bundled applications and I have replaced the default launcher with Nova Launcher Prime. After a reboot, the phone is quite snappy and fast, no lag when redrawing and everything is working very nicely together. However, after a few hours to a day of use, it gets quite sluggish: slow redraws, animations stutter, apps block/hang for a few seconds etc.
I would like to investigate this further, but I'm not quite sure of how to proceed. One thing that I have seen is that if I go Settings->Apps->Running, after a few hours to a a day of use, there are a few applications or services which say "restarting".
Do you guys have any ideas on what's going on?
Thank you!
One think I would suggest you is to debloat your phone as much as possible and then search for more ways!
Press THANKS if I helped,
Best Regards,
AJ
Hello,
Thank you for replying. I have already done that, there are few applications which I kept from the stock ROM. What else can I do?

No, I'm not using any task killer or other system tuning apps, just the stock ROM without the bloatware. Otherwise, I use "normal", day-to-day apps.

You can try pimp my rom alpha from play store to add some tweaks and scripts to make your phone faster
Sent from my Xperia Mini Pro using xda premium
Yep pimp my Rom is good....also try some awesome tweaks of project fluid by mv_style and also the v6 supercharger, etc...that will make ur Rom faster but you can't anyhow expect very much from the stock Rom but u can always depend on custom roms based on stock if you want...
Press THANKS if I helped,

Thank you for the suggestion, I'll try it one of these days. Any other ideas, guys?
Use Android Assistant (18 features) and clean the cache. Do it often, ICS really generates a lot of cache compared to GB.
Though the best thing to do would be to flash a GB rom if you want your phone to be really smooth :good:
Simply restarting the phone will do the job!
Restart it once every (two) day(s).
or
Change the minfree and ADJ settings.
EDiT: check your vfs_cache_pressure value
If it's low, set a higher setting. MESA kernel sets it to 30, which is quite low and causes lags at the end of the day.
You can try to raise it to default stock 100 and see if that helps
Code:
echo "200" > /proc/sys/vm/vfs_cache_pressure;
Flash a custom ROM. Usually they last longer without lag then stock ROM.
Also another solution is, you can try my X-PLODE tweaks. I think it should really boost your phone since it's on stock ROM.
Based on my experience after flashing almost EVERY available ROM and kernel on my st15i, I can suggest:
1. Use a memory manager like Smart RAM, Autokiller Memory Optimizer etc.
2. Use a cache cleaner app and set it to clear cache once or twice a day.
3. Use an app like SystemCleanup (free) and delete any system app you don't use or like.
4. You can send apps like your custom browser (I strongly suggest Nova) or GPS app to /system/app/ via SystemCleanup.
5. Flash custom kernel (I strongly suggest LuPuS or MESA Hybrid).
6. Find a light and fast custom ROM that suits your needs and flash it.
7. Enjoy. The power of Android is in your hands !
Thank you, everyone, for taking the time and answering me.
Hey guys, I just recently bought my Note 3 and it unfortunately came with NC4. Thanks to Geohot and his TowelRoot I was able to root my phone and install some minor/simple tweaks using Xposed Installer to make my Note 3 usable. Here's a step-by-step of what I did to get my phone to achieve better battery life and performance while also maintaining a decent amount of customization options without installing a full-blown ROM since SafeStrap currently has issues with the OTA NC4 update..
1. Download, install, and run TowelRoot to achieve root on the Galaxy Note 3.
2. After the reboot induced by TowelRoot, install SuperUser from the Google Play Store. You should install one of the following three: Superuser by ChainsDD, SuperSU by Chainfire, or Superuser by ClockworkMod.
You will probably get a notification when you open any of these apps: “The Superuser binary (su) must be updated.” I never bothered to update and every app that has requested root has been working fine for me. Please skip to the second post to see how to update your Superuser binaries if this notification bothers you.
3. Next, install Greenify and SetCPU. Open Greenify, select all apps, and then select hibernate. You can select whichever apps you'd like to hibernate but since this is a post about what I did, hibernate all!
4. Open up SetCPU and set your max clock-speed to 2265 and min clock-speed to 883. Check “Set on Boot” and change “interactive” to “ondemand”.
* I also set a conditional profile that is activated when my screen is turned off (max CPU 729, min CPU 300, Governor powersave). However, this causes some delay when unlocking the phone as the CPUs have to ramp-up. It is actually doing much better on standby but I know that others don’t have patience for that split-second CPU ramp-up to occur, so creating this profile is up to you.*
5. Open up your browser and go to http://repo.xposed.info/module/de.robv.android.xposed.installer. Then download de.robv.android.xposed.installer_v33_36570c.apk. Install the apk and run it. Select “Framework” and then select “Install/Update”. Allow it to install and reboot.
6. Once rebooted, open up the Xposed Installer app once again. Go to the “Download Section” and search for and install ActivityForceNewTask, Chrome New Tab (Xposed), DVFS Disabler, GravityBox [KK], Smooth System Progress Bars, Statusbar Scroll to Top, StopSwitchDelay, and YouTube AdAway.
7. After installing these modules, open up the Xposed Installer app once again and go to Modules. Make sure you activate all of the aforementioned modules you installed by checking each’s checkbox.
8. Reboot your device.
9. Open up Xposed Installer again, go to modules, select DVFS disabler, and check the box within the app that states “Disable TouchWiz DVFS”. Go back to the Modules section in Xposed Installer, select GravityBox and enable or disable any customizations that you’d like. Go back to the Modules section in Xposed Installer, select Greenify and enable Boost Mode and Keep Notifications. Go back to the Modules section in Xposed Installer, for the Smooth System Progress Bars, Statusbar Scroll to Top, StopSwitchDelay, and YouTube AdAway modules, select whatever settings you desire.
10. Reboot your device.
11. Enjoy smoother performance and somewhat better battery life.
Please let me know what you guys think if you do this!
*OPTIONAL* For those that can't stand that their SuperUser binaries are out of date, follow these instructions:
I do know that some of you are extremely anal about these things so I’ll list what you need to do in order to update the Superuser binary.
1. Download http://download.chainfire.eu/448/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.99r5.zip .
2. DO NOT FLASH IT. First, unzip the file and transfer it over to /common folder and install superuser.apk.
3. Run SuperSU from the App Drawer and let the binary update. If you installed SuperSU by Chainfire earlier, disable KNOX. By flashing CWM you’ll trip KNOX.
^^any clue how the DVFS effects battery Wanam exposed has or defaulted on so I disabled it as well as dl'd the DVFS disabler stop switch and you tube add away..I'll give em a shot thanls!

I'm not sure what you meant, however, I do know that if you have DVFS disabled through Wanam you do not need to download and install DVFS disabler. DVFS disabler is more for performance rather than battery gains.

What should the I/O scheduler be set to in SetCPU for normal and your profile?
Would this work on the N900W8 model running KitKat 4.4.2 with the latest band and kernal update?
Just greenifying a few apps has helped my battery immensely. Before, I was getting terrible battery life.. burning over 3% at idle. Didnt matter if I turned off Google now, location reporting, or any of that stuff.
Now I have everythign on full bore.. syncing, location, google now, etc.. And Im getting about a 1.3% burn at idle. Probably could tune it more, but im satisified for now.
I don't understand the binary update issue. I do it on every device I have rooted directly after installing SuperSU. Never had a single problem... although, I am slightly new to the Verizon Note3 NC4 ownership.
I don't really have any battery issues or performance problems, but I'm curious to try this and see the difference. My device runs a smooth 24 hours with constant use, and I still have 60% by the time I get home.
My apps are all greenified. I use SD Maid to turn off autostart programs. I keep Bluetooth, WiFi, and Full location GPS on all the time, and play some serious games throughout the day. Maybe I have a super battery. Lol.
Im all about performance....so will update after trying this. Thanks for the detail and great post!
Got the idle burn rate down ever lower now.. greenifed everything that the app listed, turned off wifi, gps, location reporting, and google now.

I am pretty sure this would work on the N900W8. Basically, all you need to do is acquire root to do any of this. If TowelRoot supports the N900W8, then yes, this would work for you.

Hmm. I don't believe that you have such great battery life. It seems impossible. However, if somehow you are speaking the truth, I really wouldn't mess with anything.

Your previous statement was that you could use your phone constantly for 24 hours and still have 60% battery remaining. If you do the math, you're saying your phone would use up 40% of its battery over a period of 24 hours. That comes out to an average drain rate of 1.67%/1 hour.
In the screenshot you posted, you have 70% battery remaining after 6.5 hours of the device being on (screen time is not shown). 30% of your battery was used up in 6.5 hours, this gives you a rate of 4.615% battery drain/ 1 hour. What this means is that your battery is draining at 2.76 TIMES the rate at which you stated it drains in your previous post. After using your phone for a period of 6.5 hours, you have 70% battery remaining (or 30% used). What I am assuming you're saying is that your phone will be able to last another 17.5 hours and only use 10% of its battery, giving you 24 hours of use and 60% battery left? This is definitely not believable. I doubt you'd even be using your phone for the remaining 17.5 hours to even reach 60% battery.
I don't see any credibility in your previous post as you said you use your phone constantly. At the current rate of use or drain, your battery would be at 10% its capacity around 20 hours through the day. I don't see how you could use your phone for a period of 24 hours and still have 60% battery remaining. This doesn't make any sense.
i appreciate your write up and work but i have to ask if you are not around a plug often? i use Greenify for the 3rd party stubborn stuff and have for some time but i use the heck out of my N3 including work calls all day and playing Youtube for music in truck for kids and i plug in at night at around 30-35% after killing it all day.
what is the real world need for this? maybe camping or something or is it merely the challenge?

NC4 really ruined everything about the Note 3. My battery life was cut in half and there's just so much lag. The point of this was to improve battery life and performance by disabling DVFS, hibernating apps, and taking control of the CPU. I can't go from 7:30am-2:00am without my battery dying. I'd like to ideally have atleast a day and a half worth of battery that would allow my phone to last 18.5 hours.
Idk. I went from a 30 minute-and-dead Droid RAZR to this. I constantly game with everything on (gps, WiFi, sync, etc). To me this is impressive.
Maybe a bit over exaggerated... but it does hold nicely.
Hey greenify factory mode. I bet your battery will be better. Just hibernate it and insist it stays there and your good.
Thanks for your hard work!! : )
I went from NC2 to NC4. I could go all day get home and still have 50%. I flashed NC4 and my battery would drain without me even doing anything!! I would be at 50% by noon! The SetCPU is well worth the money. I agree with you why should my phone be running at a screaming speed when I have it in my holster? Thanks again this will allow me to use my phone instead of it using itself! ; )

OK so I'm sure some of you know how to do this but others may not.
I'm trying to see what can be done to improve battery life until hopefully we get a custom recovery and custom kernels.
If any of you guys have any other tips on what you've done to improve your G3's battery usage or just anything at all that you think would benefit others please share...

Kernel Tweaker
*Or whatever app you prefer for Kernel Tweaking*
Spoiler
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dsht.kerneltweaker
* Some great info on the Governors and their parameters can be found here:
https://android.googlesource.com/ke...5674e696/Documentation/cpu-freq/governors.txt
My OnDemand Governor Settings :
I've set max frequency to 1958400
Optimal_Max_Freq to 1497600
Powersave_bias to 50
Explanation of PowerSave_Bias
" powersave_bias: this parameter takes a value between 0 to 1000. It defines the percentage (times 10) value of the target frequency that will be shaved off of the target. For example, when set to 100 -- 10%, when ondemand governor would have targeted 1000 MHz, it will target 1000 MHz - (10% of 1000 MHz) = 900 MHz instead. This is set to 0 (disabled) by default."
Sampling_rate to 60000
*I'll add more changes here after I test them out for a few days.
*** See post #2 for updates to my Kernel Tweaks***
System Monitor
Spoiler
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cgollner.systemmonitor
To monitor my changes and verify they've been made.
** SELinux Mode Changer is needed because the phone will simply reboot after making some of these changes and whatever you've changed will go back to default.
Alternatively you can also use System Tuner found here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.pmw
System Tuner is free where as System Monitor is not. Plus System Tuner combines the functions of both System Monitor and TricksterMod.
App Ops
Spoiler
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.schurich.android.tools.appopsstarter
This app is actually just a shortcut to the Hidden Permission Manager.
You can manage which Permissions you want each app to have. For Example one that I often " switch off" is the " keep awake " permission.
For example I have Google Play Services Keep Awake set to OFF.
App Ops is a powerful tool which can lead to things not working properly if you don't know what you're doing. Google Play Services is fine for me to have setup this way however it may not be for you.
It's a very good tool to limit your User Apps Permissions at the very least.
Greenify
Spoiler
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2155737
Greenify hibernates your apps when they are not in use. You can use it with Xposed or without, however the features you gain through using it with Xposed makes it an even better tool. One of those features is being able to hibernate system apps. There are also options for keeping your hibernated apps notifications present.
Better Battery Stats
Spoiler
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1179809
This app allows us a fairly in depth look into what's draining our batteries the most. It also allows us to chase down Wakelocks and then we can either disable them entirely or at least use Greenify to Hibernate those apps if possible.
Lux Auto Brightness
Spoiler
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1944921
This app controls your screen brightness much better than stock does in my opinion. It also allows you to create profiles and overall just gives you more control over your screen. Obviously the screen is the biggest offender of battery drain so this app is a must have.
Deep Sleep Battery Saver
Spoiler
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rootuninstaller.batrsaver
DS Battery Saver will constantly put the phone into Deep Sleep Mode while the screen is off. Without a custom kernel yet for this phone I've been playing with this app again after not using it for quite some time.
The Pro version allows you to create a custom profile with time frames for Deep Sleep during the Weekdays and Weekends. Everything can be controlled from Mobile Data to Sync.
Juice Defender
Spoiler
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.latedroid.juicedefender
Juice Defender is similar to Deep Sleep Battery Saver. You can conorol things like WiFi and Data when your screen is off and your phone is sleeping. There are quite a few options to choose from!
So if your not having the best of luck with DS Battery Saver or just want to try something different, give this a shot.
Titanium Backup
Spoiler
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
Titanium Backup is an extremely useful app to have! Among the various things this app can do for you the one that'll most help your battery is to Freeze or Uninstall apps on your phone called Bloat. For example anything having to do with Verizon I've either frozen or completely removed.
The less silly apps you have running and on your phone the better battery and performance you'll have.
** Ongoing List of Apps that can be frozen via Titanium can be found here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=54219261
WakeLock Detector
Spoiler
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.uzumapps.wakelockdetector
This WakeLock Detector is very easy to use. Plus it has the option from within it to Greenify apps and it can link you to the Web with more information about the various WakeLocks your phone has.
Boot Manager
Spoiler
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45290496
This app requires Xposed. It's very simple and easy to use. Just highlight the apps you don't want to start every time your phone boots up.
If you have around 200 Apps like some people do... This could be very useful and not having all those apps loaded up in memory should save you some juice!
WiFi HotSpot On/Off Manager
Spoiler
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.avg.wifiassist
This handy app manages your WiFi connections based on your cell tower location. It automatically will turn your WiFi on and off for. Saving you more juice. Thanks to @oo3 for this one!

Carrier IQ is basically just spyware!
Get rid of it, no need to have that on our phones running.
Knock On Toggle via AnyCut
Spoiler
I've created a Shortcut to enable and disable the Knock On feature. One of the various WakeLocks on this phone is the Knock On service used to either wake the phone up or to lock it. This is a fairly easy thing to do and I've only just started playing with it, but figured I'd share!
Grab AnyCut here https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spring.bird.anycut
Then simply find Knock On and it will create a shortcut to the Knock On settings for you so you can Toggle it on and off as you please.
Auto Run Manager / ROM Toolbox
Spoiler
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rs.autorun
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolboxpro
We can use either App to Disable an Apps Receivers then Freeze it altogether. My screen shots here show how I did this to LIA Informant.
We can do this when simply freezing something using Titanium Backup doesn't actually stop an app from running and keeping a WakeLock. LIA Informant wasn't Hibernating even after freezing it and using Greenify. After using this method, it's no longer present.
_______________________________________________
* I'm back to using SetCPU again as I've just had the best luck with it.
Some people cannot use OnDemand Governor, due to their phones freezing and rebooting. I'm not sure what to say on that subject other than try SELinux Mode Changer and use the latest SuperSu. That's my setup and I don't have any freezes or reboots.
Of course we don't have all the control we'd like to have on these stock kernels, and it appears depending on how users have everything set up that results will obviously vary so keep that in mind.

Good post. Lux is amazing and seems to improve the contrast. That might be all in my head tho.
System tuner is also a good tool for changing the CPU Governor and I/O Scheduler. You can also use it to disable GTALK and Checkin services for Google Services Framework and Google Play Services. I'm getting insane battery life after rooting and applying these tweaks.

Thanks! I've downloaded System Tuner and will play around with it for a bit and possibly add in your suggestions to the OP with some screen shots.
I figured maybe this thread could serve as the spot for people to come and see what others are doing to maximize their battery life... All in one place instead of scattered around many threads.
Thanks again.

Well I wasn't sure myself either until I tried it. I was able to make changes and they would all apply and look good however my phone would just reboot and the changes I made would be back to default.
So I tried the SELinux mode Changer and set it to Permissive and that didn't happen anymore.
Basically it changes the Kernel security from what I've gathered.
There's obviously more to it than that just I'm not a Linux pro really
Here's what SELinux is http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Security-Enhanced_Linux

Having been away from Android for a bit, which version of App Ops are you running? It's the one app you didn't link to.
Is this (and it's associated Pro version) the business?

Using BootManager, if I disable an app from executing at start, does that mean I won't get the notifications for that app?

I'm not 100% how boot manager works with notifications. On my phone I also use Greenify with the options to keep notifications, not sure if boot manager has the same setup. Maybe you could let us know here. I'm still getting all my notifications so my guess is yes.

Let me know what you think. There are other Xposed Modules such as MinMinLock that can limit app start ups. However that module requires you type a password every time you launch an app under its control, which I find annoying myself.
I'm also trying to see if Boot Manager truly stops the apps from being started. There are reports of it not doing so. From my end it appears to be working

I have tried this and I can attest that it saves some battery, however every-time I lose signal it keeps asking me to switch to global which is annoyong. is there anyway to permanently turn this pop-up off.
ps : and yes ,I know there is a check-box to say don't show till the next reboot ! what I am looking for is the notification and deleting it(freezing)

Notifications are working although I'm not 100% certain the apps are actually being blocked. How can I check?
Does anybody have a specific list on how they save the most battery on their G3?I'm using lux, boot manager, greenify, and deep sleep battery... Should I be doing something different?
Strongly recommend this app; it's made a world of difference for me.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-nlpunbounce-reduce-nlp-wakelocks-t2853874
This will require you to also install the Xposed Framework but that's a worthy addition as well as it's a gateway to many other worthy additions to your phone. In particular, you really want the LG G3 Tweakbox module.
