Hi all
Last night during surf XDA i found a useful app Servicely and on the basis of reviews i gave it a try.
I am currently using LG G2 D802 v30b running on stock lollipop and powered by Xceed kernel . And believe me it is the best app i found so far . Please go through the original link and don't forget to thanks dev. :highfive::highfive:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/root-servicely-installed-apps-services-t3076769
I think you all should give it a try
You changed any settings in the app or you kept everything default?

I add those apps in hit list which i don't use regularly or those which keep processing in background . That's all you need to do. This is the principle on which this app works.
i've never seen this before. i'll try thanks a lot.

App is too good . Be careful with internal processes running in background. For more info read the OP.
I don't get it. Isn't there already apps like Juice Defender that kill processes? What's the point of killing background processes when 1) they could malfunction or 2) they will respawn themselves?

It is different because once it killed a process that could not be started until you open that again or run that again. Suppose that you put messenger in kill list , the moment you turn off the screen it will kill process and you wont able to get messages until you open that app.
Other apps like juice defender kill the process but device wakelock cycle will restart them after a particular interval of time.
Device malfunctioning is not possible until you kill system internal processes which are required to run android system.
For more info please read the original thread and get your answers . Almost every question you are curious to get answers are already asked by others . Just read ... The more you read the better you understand .:highfive::fingers-crossed:

Nope ! It is better in some ways . Like in greenify if you kill a system process the android system wake that after sometime (You cant kill google play services and many more others) and in Servicely it all happen in different way. Look i am not comparing both but Servicely is more aggressive. I was using paid version of greenify and now i am using free version of Servicely (Planning to pay now). And i found it more juice sever

Yeah, I know about that one. Something is wrong with the boot.img...
It existed in CM9 too
As for the next build, expect one sometime in the next 7 hours
That's because Offline Charging is disabled.
It is still buggy.

when can we download your rom without use of rom manager premium.

Google Now
Anyone noticed that Google Now doesn't seem to work? It doesn't FC anymore but it won't let you scroll through the different cards...
EDIT: Oh, and also... Link2SD is still un-usable. After installing it, downloading apps from Play Store makes the process "system" crash and there's nothing you can do from that point, you have to reboot your phone.

What Google Apps package are you using?
Link2SD works fine for me
I'm using latest "light" gapps. The problem with Google Now is not only with the cards but when I search something I can't scroll through the results, only the top part of the screen "moves" when scrolling.
Link2SD does work but I'm not sure why but it makes it a pain to install new apps. Having to reboot phone each time because system process crashed. And must be done each time you install a single app... :silly:

Still the p500 with ROM build1 can't be detected as USB modem (I meant no USB tethering) by Slackware machine. Could you please to fix it? I encountered that bug (?) in all ROM (ICS and JB) I ever have flashed it, but GB (OpenOptimus ROM build 2.202.1)!.
Anyway, your ROM even it's the first built is one of the great JB ROM for obsolete phone hardware. It's almost stable imho. If you can fix mentioned above problem and the camera, it'll be perfect for my daily use!
Hey, as I posted, take a break from your hard hacking! Enjoy your real live. Have fun!

To make Google Now work, you have to use the version for ARMv6 from this link(from 'Instructions for ARMv6 devices')>> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1816622 !!! To get the voice work (it will listen to you, but will repeat what you said, but at least you don't have to write what you are looking for) use the workaround: The Voice Search for Google Now app. More details in the link!!! And yes, this method should work on Jelly Bean, not only on ICS. Good Luck!!! :good:

Thanks for the reply.
I calibrated by draining till 40% and by charging completely for few times but no use.
It seems to be awake than going to deep sleep.
I wanted to know wat is that suspend_backoff kernal wakelock.

You visited the link in post #6 and the Google browser is not running on your phone, right?
The BBS log does not show the culprit directly, as it seldom does
As you are rooted you should consider installing Titanium Backup and use it to freeze Apps that are not essential for the phone to run. This probably makes it possible to isolate the App causing the suspend_backoff KWL. Unlike uninstalling an App, freezing it is much safer; if it was an essential one you can just thaw it to get it running again. I would probably start by freezing "Beautiful Widgets"...
The method of freezing Apps is quite time-consuming but almost always achieves good results.

well the main culprit for this 'Suspend_backoff' KWL is the 'Google chrome' app, just disable/uninstall/freeze the same and see
Also try changing ur Modem, as ur netwrk signal is very erratic

So I finally got around to messing with my phone, and decided to see what it could really do for battery life! I'll try and be specific as possible about all of the tweaks that I've performed, but feel free to ask any questions as well.
To start out, my phone is rooted and is the Verizon version. Throughout the 50 hours, I was a little more conservative with usage than usual, but not overly so. I also used Titanium Backup to freeze and uninstall system app and VZW bloatware. In addition, I used a utility called 2x Battery that automatically turns off my 4G data when I turn my screen off, but enables it every 15 mins to pull down notifications. I also utilized wifi at home and kept the brightness fairly low (which I didn't find to be an issue because the screen visibility on this monster is great IMO). Another thing that I did was uncheck the 'Wi-Fi & Mobile Network Location in the Location Access Menu.
First of all, here is some proof! 50 Hours, 14 Minutes - With 6% battery left

The following are screenshots from the battery menu of the things that are taking the most battery. In order of how much battery they used, here they are:
Android System (33% battery usage)
Screenshot 1
Screenshot 2
Cell Standby (15%)
Screen (12%)
Android OS (10)
Ok, so that is what the top usage on my phone, and I'd like to list out the settings I changed in Titanium Backup. I guess I'll give the generic warning that I'm not responsible for you messing with your phone, and you should make sure you know what you are doing so that you don't brick or ruin your device. That being said, I have seen very little or no negative effects of the items that are listed.

So I would love to get some feedback as to how people think that we can continue to extend battery life on this already awesome flagship device! A few questions that I have:
Android System is using the most battery. What else can I safely disable to optimize this? Are there any that you see that I froze or removed that I shouldn't have?
Are there any other hacks that people think would be beneficial to try out?
What do you guys feel about disabling location services and/or auto-rotate?
Thanks for reading, good luck maxxing out your own battery!
Constrabus like! I've only seen up to 44 hours on my N4. Once on cm, you can pretty much guarantee at least almost 3 days with these settings.
Great sharing, I starred it for future reference, thanks

Thank you for posting the list of apps frozen and uninstalled. That said I love slide aside and wifi storage. How do you not use those? :laugh:
To me I just don't see the reasoning behind Slide Aside. If I hold the home button it shows the passive running apps, and I just switch from there. But I haven't looked into it too much, what else do you like about it?
Also, how about the wireless storage, is that just an auto upload to your desktop? I use Dropbox to auto-backup my pics and videos, and music is backed up to Play Music. Most additional stuff like calendar or task list app are Auto backed to their own servers or Google's.
I'd love to hear more about the benefits of these apps, I'm always open to changing things up!

Good job!
Nicely done.
For those that think you need root to accomplish great battery, I am on track to pass 33 hrs without root. Screen @ 40%
I've found the best way to increase my battery life is to turn of wifi & mobile network location, but that basically renders a variety of apps, including Google Now, useless.
I believe it. I been averaging 18hrs every day with mine but that is being used a good bit throughout that entire 18hrs. I usually keep my screen at 25% unless I'm outside and its really sunny. WiFi and all is off and I have quite a few uninstalled apps thru titanium.

Just wanted to post this awesome battery life my phone has gotten after 4 charge cycles. This is better than my droid max I recently purchased. Anyone who says this phone has horrible battery life is either a liar or has a defective phone.
This is with 90% 4glte and brightness set to auto 75% baseline. Not turning anything off. I work a lot so screen time isn't that much but who really uses their phone for 6-8 hours a day? That a quarter of your life spent on a phone each day. Any ways great phone not much to complain about yet

You can, actually. If you use Titanium Backup, you can uninstall anything you want. You freeze apps in case uninstalling them breaks something, or it may be something you want to use in the future. A lot of the time, people will freeze an app and run it like that a few days. No issues? Uninstall the mofo.

I root uninstalled a lot of apps. Most were listed in the OP here. But I ran into 1 tiny little problem, that is causing me to factory reset and redo everything... I don't know what app it was that I uninstalled that causes this, but every time I would plug in a headphone jack or usb cable, it would show the animation at the bottom, but "pop and plug" (or "plug and pop", I forget) would force close. No other side-effects were noticed. Anyone have a clue what app uninstalled would cause this so nobody else makes the same mistake? I unfortunately did several apps simultaneously and did not notice the issue until much later.

Plug in pop is just an app that launches short cuts of apps that would use headphones. If you dont want it or the F/C just use titanium to uninstall plug and pop

Mainly because a lot of the times we freeze apps we think we don't need, and by freezing them if you find out later having that app frozen caused issues, you can simply defrost it rather than trying to locate and reinstall it.
I've not disabled as many apps as you, but I make heavy use of Greenify to hibernate apps I don't want running in the background.
I've been off-battery for seven hours. I spent about two hours streaming Jim Rome earlier in the day (I can only take about two hours of Romey) and playing with the browser for a bit over lunch. I am at 89% with an ETA of 39 hours until the battery dies.
Very, very impressed with this phone's power management.
I want someone to try and just leave the fone on standby without using it, possibly leaving it in Airplane mode lol

Please refer the screenshot I have attacjed.
1) The tech spec says 512MB RAM. But in the android task manager, I found out that the actual RAM is around 342 MB.
>> Thats a whopping 33% loss in the spec and what is seen in the android task manager
What is the reason for this missing RAM?
2) And also if you notice of the 207MB being used, apps running currently on my android phone is around 50 MB (notice the part of blue color as shown by android task manager)
>> Thats around 25% of the available RAM less what is mentioned in 1
What other apps are running taking up 75% of the RAM?
3) This is the screenshot at phone bootup. I can show you that the RAM gets depleted so badly that after 2 days from bootup, the RAM used by apps other than what is mentioned is very high
Is this something wrong with my phone or everybody has noticed this?
Thanks a lot in advance!
That is normal. Actual RAM in hardware will differ from usable RAM because of the formatted capacity and because some of it is allocated to other things like the GPU. For example, my s3 has 2gb ram but actual usable is about 1.56gb.

I understood the hardware part. But how do you attribute the major chunk of ram in my second screenshot? You can see that the apps running (listed) are using meager amount of ram. Can you please have a look at it? What other apps are filling up the ram?
Thanks for your response.
The RAM not being used by your running apps is being used by the Android OS. Just like Windows requires RAM even while you're not running any programs.
Also, I forgot to originally add that some apps are cached so that they can be opened again quickly at a later time.

So, basically, I end up with few 10's of MBs if I buy a phone with 512MB ram?! Isn't that much of a ram hogger apps?!
Is there any means I can get to know what those android apps are? Most of the apps I tried showed only what is shown in the android task manager.
I assume the phone in question originally came with an older Android OS like Gingerbread installed. Going back to older firmwares is one way to decrease the load on the system, but another way is to use TitaniumBackup to uninstall unessential apps like Google Now and weather widgets and the like. With such a small amount of RAM originally available though, you will unlikely be able to increase it by much on any firmware other than Gingerbread.

No, all is OK. Don't worry about the RAM usage. Android (and many other UNIX-based operating systems) is designed to try to use all the RAM available. Sounds crazy, I know, but in Android free-RAM means actually wasted-RAM.

It actually came with ICS 4.0.4. Not gingerbread.

But the foreground apps, like say, a game that I am playing requesting for more memory is getting killed abruptly. Foreground apps should be on priority. Right?

Yes, but when it's killed? When you press Home and do anything else? (if so, this is normal).
There are different methods to free your RAM:
1. Use a task killer -> I recommend Clean master
then go Setting - Tasks then choose which apps you want them not to be ignored
(You can use app widget for one click kill)
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
2. Root your device, then delete unimportant system apps -> I recommend Titanium backup (ALWAYS MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE YOU DELETE ANYTHING)
3. Use Greenify [Root needed] (Use app widget for fast hibernation)
4. Use Startup manager
With these four steps together your can free your RAM to no less than 50%

I never press home. I always press back.

The startup manager thing worked (a little bit)!!! Check out the screenshot.
The problem with the other way you have mentioned is it requires rooting. This is an Indian phone. I never got the stock rom (and dont ever think about the sources). If I root it, I am lost forever and the organization I work for requires unrooted phone to make sure that the exchange services work.

Then you can use first method too!
good luck

The problem with clean master is this:
1) The clean master app itself takes around 30mb which is too much considering my phone ram
2) It clears only cached background process (I am ok with the cached background process taking up free ram)

You can choose any running process you want to kill as I said before,

Good news! After rooting my phone and trying out my luck online, I finally found out that mediaserver was the application eating my ram!
Below links helped me out.
https://community.freescale.com/docs/DOC-93326
http://freepine.blogspot.in/2010/02/analyze-memory-leak-of-android-native.html
Not sure if mediaserver itself or any other app making use of media server is filling up the ram.
Have any of you guys come across this problem?
Been searching the threads and wanted to know what is safe to freeze/remove? I imagine the list for the TMO G4 would be the same for this this device?

Experimentation is key.
So far for me I've frozen anything listed as t-mobile with the filter option. I've frozen (deleting caused problem) all the Instagram Facebook (messenger too) handlers. Froze App Source I deleted the LG voicecare (only cause when I ran LG update I stupidly checked all of them) since I know I could without drama. My best suggestion is freeze first. Run phone for a bit and see if you get any errors on the screen.
This is everything that I have frozen. No issues so far. I have Nova installed as a system app, that way I can freeze the LG launcher.

Which app are you using to freeze the T-mobile bloatware?
Titanium Backup

With all the items you froze, do you still see the app showing usage in the battery stats? I have had devices that this occurred.

To be honest I haven't really looked at it. For whatever reason, I can't seem to get Better Battery Stats to work right. I've been having good battery life so it hasn't really been on my mind (average of 4-5 hours SOT).

phone needs to be rooted for titanium to freeze these apps right?

Yes, but you also need the pro version of the app to freeze apps.
okay, but...
If i were to delete these apps, instead of freezing, would it blow my phone into oblivion?

You can delete all the Google and all the T-Mobile apps. Also delete AdaptClient and LTDDM, as those are behavior-tracking spyware apps.
You can delete LGPartnerBookmarksProvider which is a carrier customization package for Chrome.
Don't delete any LG apps as they're all tied into the system one way or another.
When I was making my ROM, I found that deleting LG apps would often result in FCs in random settings screens or other LG apps.

Some apps will, some won't, just make a backup before you start, that way if you break something, you can restore...
Zdeuce2 now with golden rays of sunshine
I was hoping for a script like I used on my galaxy note 4... just hook to pc and run .bat file that someone had created.. lol Oh well.. Any updates??

Where did you find good instructions to root the V10? I'm finding all kinds of conflicted posts.
freezing/deleting bloat
Hey, I'm curious how you managed to delete Google apps without ill effect. I shut off the Google suite and my phone went nuts. Particularly bothersome was the loss of voice to text and spell checker when writing text messages (with Textra). The Google keyboard and ( I don't know why there are so many voice related apps)the voice recorder and the other audible vocal apps I had to turn back on. Do you have a trick that made it possible to disable chrome without headaches?

I imagine (and I mean this as much as a question as I do a comment) that after removing apps that serve a purpose such as Google keyboard, you could restore functionality by installing a replacement app of your choosing...? At least it seems to make sense in theory.. Plz correct me if I'm mistaken ... This is the 1st device I'm debloating myself manually so no experience to back my assumption... But I would like a more seasoned opinion on the matter... Thx
