For those of you running stock roms, what are some of the features that hold from switching to AOSP?
Sent from my LG-vs980 using Tapatalk
For me I don't use any feature
I even removed most of LG apps
I hate AOSP Roms so I didn't switch for it

I always asked myself if GRam works with AOSP or not. However From my experience with AOSP roms this past week, I can insure you that it does indeed work! I am amazed by the battery life! Yesterday I got 1.5 days (around 36hrs with 6hrs screen onn i could never do that on stock).
See my current usage now. Attached screenshots.
Edit: for some reason i cannot attach a single screenshot, that is after 11.5hrs on battery.

I read that it's only available on LG Roms but that was just here in the forum, so maybe not the most reliable source. I didn't try aosp yet, but the battery life I get with the Stock Rom is just insane:

Nice battery life! I never went above 4 or 5 hrs screen on stock!
Ok I can see you are running G2 xposed module and you running probably on 400dpi or even less.
Any other things you disabled? Knock on? Smart stay? Location?
Would you please elaborate your settings and usage. Also what is your rom and kernel?
Thx!

Pretty sure that's hardware but I too wonder if there's anything software involved.
As for me, QuickRemote and LG Camera are the only stock features I use.. On AOKP 4.3. Screw that fugly stock rom.

I'm running on stock rom and stock kernel. I have disabled locations for google apps, all other apps including wheather are able to check for locations. I have sync enabled for gmail, facebook, wheather, whatsapp and exchange. As you can see I was on wifi most of the time and a few hours on 2G/3G/H. You are right with that xposed stuff! Currently running at 380dpi. My screen brighness is on auto with a preset of 50%. My usage behaviour is moderate and includes checking facebook, whatsapp, emails and xda app. I also do much browsing and a few benchmarks and camera shots. I don't play games that much. Personally I think that disabling NFC, GPS and bluetooth saves you a lot of battery. Smart Stay is also disabled because I don't really need that and it's keeping the sensors awake all the time. I should also mention that I have a flip cover with Quick Window enabled. I hope this helps you a little bit. Most of the battery drain is caused by unneccesary wakelocks.I can recommend to check these wakelocks with an app called 'wakelock detector'. As you can see, in my case there is only 1% of wakelocks, where others have 10-20% and this is what's causing the high battery drain. It's all about optimisation! If you have further questions please feel free to ask (but rather in the battery thread cause this might become a bit off topic).

Knock-On, Wireless storage, Quick Remote, Clip Tray...
Aptx, gram, quick remote, wireless storage, legit knock on. Ohh yeah, stability.
I used to use clip tray. Loved it. Missing from aosp roms though.
knock on, quick reply, smart screen, quick remote..

That's sounds awesome! Here's a few features I'm looking for:
1. Auto power off at certain battery level.
It is to ensure there is still juice left door other urgent use
2. Charge limit.
Thank you and look forward for your development!

Hello buddy,
I am using L9 from past 8 months, with 1 full day of battery backup using phone normally. So according to my experience best battery saver is do not use any power saver app. Because LG's L9 dev team have already optimised L9 rom and its hardware to save maximum power. 1 more suggestion for battery saving is keep brightness level at 35% and keep touch vibration feedback off specially for keyboard.

Titanium Backup...and freeze a lot of unnecessary application
Stock LG is already good, which is a pleasant surprise coming from the LG Optimus One (dreadful battery life on Froyo until I flashed custom ROM and kernel) and Nexus S (a bit better but still needs custom kernel). Just disable what you don't use (JB can do this natively), keep the brightness at the lowest comfortable level, and keep it at 2G if the 3G reception in your area is bad.
The only app I recommend is Greenify (need root) to take care of possible wakelocks from background apps.
I guess that using a battery saver apart from the 'Energy saving' point in 'Settings' of the phone is no good. Just spend some time deleting and freezing useless apps and you will get some extra juice for your phone)
I know there's a lot of battery threads out there, I've been reading most of them but I got no help from them.
I recently updated my phone from ICS to JB, and now I'm running NeatROM and Siyah Kernel. And since the update I've noticed an abnormal battery drain. Just now, in 20 minutes, it has lost 3%.
Now, I'm not new to smartphones, so before you say, yes, I have done all the possible things to prevent the drain: Greenify, Wifi OFF, GPS OFF, Sync OFF, all OFF, battery saver mode, minimum brightness...
Actually now I'm using a generic 4300mAh battery from a friend and I only get a little more than a day. I'm using the phone but not in a hard way. Minimun time on wifi, some messages, one or two calls, and some internet surfing, not much.
Is it normal all this? Am I going mad? If you guys need any info/screenshots to maybe identify something please tell.
Thanks.
Usual fixes are go back to fully stock and see if it is still the same, if yes then replace the battery with a quality make, if still the same then probably a hardware fault.
Well, the change, as I said, was just after the change from ICS to JB, so I don't think it is any of those...

well then, try some battery monitor and check what's using the battery. use some task manager like ES Task Manager(for eg.) and stop all the background apps and manage start up apps. :good:

I've experienced almost the same issue, but I've installed some custom roms.
I am a fan of Wannam.
Try to install one of his roms (the latest) and check if that helps.

i found Google maps to be the biggest drainer... and if like me its installed to /system then greenify doesn't hibernate it... and those Damn network location updates nuke the battery in no time... convert to user app using titanium backup... Or remove from /system and reinstall from market... my battery lasts nearly two days after moving all Google bloat... greenify puts it all to sleep and phone doesn't wake up for anything except calls and texts... brill :thumbup:

I will do that with maps.With which any other Google bloatware should I do the same?
Try using wake lock detector it really gives a nice info on what process is taking your battery .
You could also try changing the cpu scaling logic. This seems to give the best battery life enhancement.

I think the battery is going better now. I wiped the internal sdcard and now I have 70% with 8 hours of phone. Is that normal?
EDIT
I mean with stock battery. Also, I limited the CPU from 1400 to 900 long time ago.
I have also extracted the external sd because lately it was giving problems like removing and mounting itself a lot...
OK, so I got like 25 hours with normal-low use. Is that average?

Use Boeffla-Kernel. Best kernel in my opinion. Close to stock, more stable, more batteryfriendly Kernel with customization abilities compared to Stock-Kernel.
And-the music- much better with this Kernel and 'eargasm' Equalizer-setting *-*
Simply AWESOME!

I tried that but I didn't notice any battery improvement. Also, Voodo Sound is so much better, in my opinion.
Without a custom kernel you can not apply any undervolting or change the cpu scaling logic Max frequency etc.
Try a custom kernel again but this time dont just leave it with the default settings . Change them . Remember you can always install voodoo sound on top of any other sound mod.

Hello! I usually get about 2 hours of screen on time on my GS3. After doing some research, i found out that 2 hours is not very good...so I have some questions. Take into account that I have tried to minimalise the us on my GS3 and also watched battery tips and tricks videos and even flashed bestMultitasking fix already.
Is there someway to improve my battery life?
While making this thread, my battery dropped from 36 to 34, using wifi and power saving on...also, my signal is full, so it's not a problem from cellular reception
get checkup of your battery and apart from that also goto settings>battery and see how which activity uses the most battery

It seems that Android OS is killing some of your battery life, this usually only happens when you flash a custom ROM, Id suggest finding out what is killing your battery, download an app called wakelock detector, itll show whats using what
Also, the Greenify app is amazing, it wont let any app you chose to run unless you click it.
You could try turning on your power saving setting, itll slow the phone right down ( thats why i hate touchwiz ) but itll give you an extra 30 minutes of screen on time
Theres always custom Roms and kernels too, Ive got the Illusion Rom which ate up the battery for a day ( every new ROM does this ) and then applied the Googy Max kernel, Im running on 800 mhz with undervolting and still silky smooth
Also, try disabling Google services/ sync and disable Google now, for some reasons they seem to be the issue in most cases

Hi everyone,
I used LG2 for quiet some times. I found that the knock on feature is very handy. Anyone could found any app that resemble that?
You've posted in the wrong section, but the only one I could find (I only searched for two minutes) was the whole G2 launcher that includes the knock on feature. It looks like it works on most phones, but you're also forced to use the ugliest and worst launcher in the world.
You must be rooted and you can download it here:

I just tried that, by pushing apps with right permissions in system/app, but it doesn't work.
I don't know if there's a switch to turn that on or off, but as far as I'm concerned, it doesn't work at all, it's just a simple launcher with no functions at all...

Double tap to wake is a function of the kernel. It has been around long before the G2 in custom kernels (i.e. HTC One with Bulletproof kernel). It is on the Z tablet and a shame Sony did not bring it to the Z Ultra.

I just use Screen Off app from the Playstore. Why should I double tap if I can just single tap it's app icon to make the screen sleep and lock?! To wake it is another thing though. I tested some kernel back then with my SG Note II that do that (touch screen to wake) but it was buggy!
So, it would be if we could find this feature in Google Play (with or without root). I am willing to donate for this feature. Especially the phone is big, would be nice if we can turn on the screen without having to pick up the phone from the table.

There are at least 10 options to turn the screen off, and only half of them require root.
The cool thing to do would be turning the screen ON, or better yet, having the possibility to turn it on and off with two taps on the screen.
If you ever try an LG G2 you will know why that would be cool.
I personally use GMD gesture and turn the screen off pinching three fingers, that's really showing off with all my colleagues and friends...

Well after using this device, a double tap gesture is not that required and maybe introducing additional issue considering its size and weight distribution in the hand. Plus with the flip case it comes with, turn off and on based on proximity sensor is the more elegant way to run this beast. I made my self a tasker script for that and i love it all the more

Just search for "wave2wake" in the PlayStore app...
Works for me, but it's way too sensitive. And sometimes it just won't notice when I wave.
I say it definitely needs more development, but seeing that since I installed it (yesterday) it already received an update, I also say we're in good hands.
