Can't help. I'm running HD12 and getting awesome battery life...24 to 36 hrs or more between changing

I'm comparing it to HD12 so that might be why. I was tired of my Google accounts unsyncing so just decided to root and debloat stock. That might be why

I'm on the stock ROM and find the battery life pretty amazing.
The one time I had bad battery rundown was due to "Google Services" running amok - I fixed that by uninstalling the updates then reinstalling them from the play store.

My wife is on stock S4 and her battery life is pretty good too...not quite as good as I got but satisfactory for her use for sure.

Do you use greenify? Best thing you can do for battery life

[ haven't done that on either phone as battery life has been acceptable. Might help some.

It definitely helps a lot. I greenify the hell out of my phones. At least do the easy ones to do, don't have to get into greenifying system apps.

Kudos to the Pimp My Rom app

I have a rooted N2 with a stock rom. After installing the pimp my rom app- alpha version from Google Play... I am getting tremendous battery life. 3 days without a charge (moderate to light use).
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
Pretty sure that is just the phone and large battery . I get two days in one charge and moderate to heavy use without that app. Mind adding some more detail as to what you are doing with that app or what songs you use ?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I get roughly 4 days of standby and 4 hours screen time between charges.

Exactly. I barely touched my phone today. 38mins of screen time. And that 38mins was CSR on lunch. With the battery on the N2, you dont need any fancy battery saving apps.

Precisely. I just went 41 hours on my last charge with 5 hours screen time. Just using jelly beans and pbj kernel. That's it. No app needed haha just beast ass dev's supplying the best software I've used on any phone.

Was also at 32%. If I hadn't of charged that little bit, it would have been at around 5-10%.
My intent was to speed up Stock. What I got was both speed and increased battery life. I/O tweaks, Kernel, sysctl, process priorities and much more.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app
I've gotten 5-6 hours of screen time already on my phone, and I could probably go almost 3 days between charges during the week if I really wanted to.
How is it?

Last time I ran pimp my rom, most of its tweaks were placebo and did absolutely nothing.

A bunch of build.prop edits and init.d scripts, 90% of which are placebos, the other 10% of which are probably already in any ROM or kernel you're running.

Download my verizon from the playstore. The widget will appear in your app drawer after the install.

Is anyone else noticing their Google now search is not working? This is happening on two of my devices running different roms....
I long press menu to activate Google search then type whatever it may be into the box and click search then nothing pops up.
Anyone? Thanks

I had the widget stop working. Even though I could "Google" fine from the web browser, the widget would just sit there. I trashed the widget and reinstalled it. It worked once, to early to tell.

It's probably worth noting whether people are on wifi or cell network. I had that problem yesterday on 4g, but it worked just fine later on wifi. I'm running the ME7 build from GatesJunior with the stock (MDK) kernel.
No results on 4g. Dark slide me7 stock kernel.

What roms are great for battery life?

Im stumped i have been searching these roms for the past hour scanning through to see what the battery life is in the features but can't seem to find any does anyone have any suggestions? Right now Im on stock with around 2 hrs of battery life which is decent

You'll get nice gains with ROMs using dark modes available in settings or inverted gapps. I prefer the one click option in settings. May help narrow your search.

aaaaand again.
folks I have come to the conclusion that this CLASS OF PUNK is merely trolling. he has some simple issue for anybody else, yet it is pancreatic cancer to him. he has one of these issues almost every week, and I have responded every week. you will never get a response as to your suggestion helped or his issue being resolved.
from everything I gather, he is just making things as difficult as possible for himself. most of his issues could be resolved by him actually reading the Super Everything Thread. i dont think he wants to be helped.
I know this is a thread about helping people, not a thread about how many thanks you can get. but it is a courtesy to let people know that you issue was solved.
Dude i thanked the first guy who gave me a reply and alot of times when i don't respond is because i am working sorry for any convenience And as of now still i get little more battery juice the jellybamsandwich gave me around 3 hrs of battery juice so that's a plus sorry guys for not responding

I've been using straight CyanogenMod 10.2.2, hibernating all my apps in Greenify (app), set the cache to 4096k in SD-Booster (app), and use the "Ultimate" setting in Autokiller Memory Optimizer (app), and my battery life exceeds 24 hours.
Wow are you a heavy or average user? And I tried something new last night I odexed my apps and I can realise a major difference now with the speed I still gotta check back on the battery life though I just took it off the charge lol but I gotta good feeling bout this

Debloat?

How can i debloat my galaxy s4? its rooted and i have Safestrap, however im running stock firmware not a custom rom.
Try Hyperdrive, it's better than stock.
Or just use titanium backup to freeze whatever you don't want - freezing hides from app drawer/etc.
Last time I used hyper drive battery was ****. Well not very well compared to stock.

Well some people use a one click debloater that can be found in these forums.. I prefer to do it myself though using Titanium Backup. Its a good idea though to " freeze " the apps your looking to get rid of first then run your phone for a few days to make sure everything still works good. Then you can uninstall them. Or at least back them up to your external SD card before uninstalling. There's also lists on here that people made of everything they've safely removed. Good luck!
