Hello,
I don't know how many users have realize this trick of reducing the brightness which could possibly reduce battery consumption but here are the steps:
1) Open Settings
2) Open Display
3) White Balance
4) Put all the 3 Primary colours to 255 for minimum brightness. You can play around with other values

Most of us uses the 8GB variant lol. Besides, why download when you can do it straight ahead?
Screen Filter on Google Play is too good .

is it possible to reduce screen resolution in android? so as to save power or play games more smoothly just like on a pc for example?
There's an app for Froyo
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7938982&postcount=1
will reducing resolution actually increase battery life or play games more smoothly or i am being wrong?
anyone? .........
thread up..........anyone?
As for battery no. The screen is still lighting up the same amount of pixels and same brightness etc... Gaming i doubt u will see a difference. Tell us if u find othwise tho. Hope that helped

Changing screen density isn't the same as changing resolution. Apps choose which icons to show depending on the "screen-density" value reported by the device. So higher density devices will have larger and more detailed icon graphics, etc.
As far as saving battery life, the screen typically uses most battery which varies slightly depending on the brightness setting. One root user found he could save battery by only showing red colours (requires changes to the display driver).
Shrinking the screen like in Note 3 will save energy...anybody found a way how to do this in other phones? application?

I have a rooted S3 with the stock rom. I am looking for a way to decrease the minimum brightness. I have seen and tried the brightness fix from the Note but that didn't work. I've also tried filters in the app store and those suck. On my evo I had a tweak that decreased/increased the min max levels. Is there anything like this for the s3?
Sounds like you may have already tried it but I am using a great app called screen filter. Does the job perfectly.

JKay Framework has a statusbar toggle that can set the screen brightness to a very low level, perfect for night reading.
Try Vodoo Display Filter.
You can't find a better app than this one to do this job!
Let me know if it's ok .
Screen Filter from the Play Store. 'nuff said.
Just tried screen filter and it works neatly.
So I had the Screen Filter app and while it worked it make everything look really funky and filtered. I didn't like it. Voodoo Display Filter is a much better option I think. The filter is less harsh and works great!
Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone,
I want to customize my notification led. Which of the following apps work better with the Note II (dependable and without bugs)?
I have original MB2 Oedxed rom with Xposed & Simplistic frameworks.
I don't care if I have to buy an app as long as it works properly.
Light Manager
Light Flow
Thanks
i wanna know can these applications control led brightness(i wanna max it) and does these applications cause much wakelocks?
If it's just for led flashing, i think light manager or led blinker is for you.
Light flow works perfert on my note2 7100, there is some options like sound notif, viber notif, with repeat custom time in more, and it consumes no much batterie.
I prefere light flow wich i had never never never FC
Light Flow, been using it for a long, long time. No problems whatsoever!
Just downloaded and tried out light flow lite version myself (the free one) and must say it's a very good app but would like to know does it do LED customization for software programs e.g. Evernote etc. Also what's the difference between the paid and free version

Flash Perseus - you can control brightness, LED dim frequency etc.
Veuillez considérer le passage à la version payante.
LA VERSION LITE CHANGE DE COULEUR TOUTES LES 20 SECONDES, LA VERSION PAYANTE TOUTES LES 2.5 SECONDES.
La version payante prend en charge près de 140 notifications différentes

change color every 20s for lite version and 2,5s for paid version, also 140 differents notications
I've used both. I have the paid version of Light Flow too. I am on Carbon rom and Light Manager seems to be better on the battery. But it really depends on your ROM as well. Just my 2 cents.
After your recommendation and some testing I purchased the Lite Flow app.
Thank you :good:
LED Blinker Pro, not bad...
I've tried Led Blinker Lite and I don't like the way it removes the fading effect that Perseus kernel offers..
Any blinker app that keeps this fading effect?

tnx
This is my first thread, so please contact me if I have done something wrong
Main criterias that need work
-Sound loudness
-Ram management
-Performance
-Battery life
-Gaming
Better speaker volume
One of the biggest problem of cm11 based roms is the ow speaker volume. This can be Overcome by using VIPER4ANDROID
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191223
It improves sound loudness by a great deal. TRY IT YOURSELF!!!!! Tick xloud down in settings and see the miracle happen:good::good:{Install app drivers properly and use methods as mentioned in app thread}
Performance
-Use interactive governor as it gives the best performance. Use performance in settings to do so or downloada 3rd party app from play store. For eg No-frills cpu control { Dont forget to apply set on boot.}
-DONT ENABLE AUTO BRIGHTNESS. It locks frequency at max.
-Dont use ART. It is just negligibly faster but can cause problems with certain apps
-If you are facing,strange problems that are other are not facing, flash stock ics ftf file in flashmode using flashtool and then flash the rom's kernel in fastboot mode and install the rom
Ram management
Try fly-on mod if it suits you [did suit me, I run whatsapp, VIER4ANDROID, HD widgets, Google Search, launcher, all without any of them redrawing
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226373
Dont forget to take a nandroid backup
[According to me, its better than supercharger especially for our device as fly on mod is optimized for 512mb devices, I even got random reboots with supercharger, so use fly on mod]{yes, they do exactly the same thing}
-Download memory manager from play store and set the values as follows
8,10,20,24,26,28
Dont forget to tick apply on boot
-According to me, dont use any task killers and similar 3rd party apps
- I dont even use KSM or purging or assets[you may if you like to
-Greenify Ram hungry apps such as whatsapp and facebook
-Download any root explorer and then go to build.prop in system
Then search for ro.config.low_ram=false and change from false to true
though this will cause to transperant notificatin disappear, believe me, it will help a lot
Better Battery Life
-If you want battery life, use conservative or lionheart as cpu governor
-Follow certain simple techniques such as
1 Switch off wifi and mobile network when not in use
2 Use 2g network whenever possible over 3g
3 Switch off bluetooth or NFC when not in use
-Use BETTERBATTERYSTATS from play store to know whats using your battery
-use Wakelock Detector from play store to know which apps are waking up your device
-Geenifying apps saves battery life even
-Sometimes happens is due to frequent changes of roms, battery gets uncaliberated and shows wrong stats. Follow these steps
1 Charge your phone overnight
2 Use the whole battery the next day and then again charge battery from 0-100%
-Airplane mode- use airplane mode during night, it will save overnight battery drain
-Turn off auto sync and location, it will save both battery and RAM
-Use Juice Defender from play store{It isnt just a placebo, it really works}
-Refer to this guide for detailed info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969741
Better gaming performance
-Reduce game graphics to improve performance
1 Download and install xposed module http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1574401
2 Download and install app settings http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2437377
3 In app settings, choose the game you wanna play.
4 Reduce the resolution to lowest
5 Reduce density from 240 to 150 and save the settings and reboot
By this you will get lower graphics but smooth gaming experience, especially on heavy 3d games
-Fly on mod will also help
-Use xbooster and set gaming mode
-Set ondemand as cpu governor and row as io scheduler
-Use airplane mode while playing offline games, it will stop internet services like location, syncing etc and clear ram as well as cpu performance
Using these tricks your gaming performance will increase significantly
By following these easy steps, we can make our Kit Kat roms fit for daily use
Again, if I did something wrong, please inform me

Nice thread
Thanks information is very useful :cyclops:
Some notes.
V4A is not compatible with walkman. (If you have it and its libs installed it won't work. )
Auto brightness doesn't lock my frequency at max. Probably ROM specific. (i use Weekly 4 cm 11 xperia p)
Flashing stock should not make a difference as entire /system partition is wiped on flashing.
Other than that all is good. (Wipe battery stats will have negligible effects and only when there ate major changes (like power hal) in ROM and you flash without wiping data. )
Sent from my Xperia P using Tapatalk
Thanks for the solutions! But I 've got some questions:
1. interactive governor - is it really the best one? If so, why it's not set as default?
2. You advise to not use ART...but what exactly it is (and where it is)?
Cheers!

According to me interactive and smartassv2 an interactive are the best ones. It is not default probably because of battery

Honestly I don't see nearly any difference in speaker loudness using Viper4Android. Of course, sound quality and volume are much better on headset. But it doesn't change too much with speaker problem.

Have you intalled the drivers properly??????
you have to install busybox from playstore, it is a very imp step. And also click xloud from down in the settings and set the effect to maximum

Thank you for the answer.
If xloud is the last option in menu, yes I ticked it (sorry but in my native language that option was traslated and isn't even little similar to xloud now)
Of course I have installed drivers properly because as I said before there is huge difference on headset quality. But the difference on speaker is barely 'noticeable'...
I did not find any xloud option. Is it extra loud ?

When I run flashtool (CM11) I can see something like this:
BusyBox v1.21.1-kk bionic (2013-11-24 11:52 +0100) multi-call binary
Isn't it enough? What is the reason to install busybox from Google Play Store?
@pentoza
Not every one connects their cm 11 phone to flashtool. No point. And for updating busybox its better to use play store
@chetan_p
Well I tried all of that. Never worked. Gave up eventually. On stock .100 (xp) the driver never installed.

1. Find a nice place without street lights close to you. The darker the better.
2. Use a small tripod. I got one for 6$ on AliExpress.
3. Set the ISO to 50.
4. Usually manual focus and focus on the the farthest possible. It depends on the scene so you can also use auto focua.. I prefer manually so it won't change.
5. Set it to 10 seconds timer , or use voice shutter.
6. Start with around 5 seconds shutter and play with it until you get your desired shot. Play only with the shutter speed.
7. Profit.

Yes and no.
Yes, but not without sonething to block light from the camera. In DSLR we use ND filter. Yoi can search online for how to make ND filter for the camera homemade. I think it is possible to use camera film to block the light but I'm not entirely sure. Google it, I'm sure you will find something. Google "How to make ND filter for my phone".. without blocking light the photo will be overexposed no matter what.
