Hello XDA team mates, I just rooted stock 20J and what can I do next to improve battery life.
The only modification I've done is:
1) to enable all app for dual window. But Netflix does not work so good with dual window.
2) froze com.tmobile.pr.adapt 3.6.1 app in titanium backup pro. what others can I freeze to save battery?
So what modification have you done on rooted stock to improve battery life.
Use Greenify and hibernate all battery draining apps. When in standby it helps.

Does BetterBatteryStats app uses more battery and cause more wakelocks?
Should I install it?
Haven't noticed any battery draining from BBS. It only presents the already existing battery usage stats in more detail. It would use more battery if you grant it superuser status to check for alarm and networks stats.
It does help identify any rogue battery draining apps you might have. Haven't really found a use for it otherwise. Won't worry too much about installing it if you already have good enough battery life atm.
What I do is enable it every week or so under a normal usage scenario, see what's draining my battery and fix it (I usually have installed and removed alot) then I freeze the app with Titanium because there is no reason to have it running

For those people out there who have battery related issues, this might be the final place you will be searching for..
As I was one of the zillion users who was facing the problem of the battery drain on my HTC one after the update to 4.4.2, I found out that for some of you who have ARHD 53 rom and stock kernel, The battery drain will be because of the sensors remaining active through out.
I have been facing this problem form quiet some time and searching here and there for the solution..But I couldnt find one after a lot of searching. I thought I will start my own research what exactly is the app or service that is keeping the sensors on all the time..
Here are the apps you will need for the process..
1. Wakelock Detector :- This is one of the most widely used app of all the time that help with situation like this..
2. Greenify(Pro Version) :- Another Awesome app that hibernates the application when the screen is off.. Make sure you have the pro version of the app because the free version wont allow you to hibernate the system apps.
3. Battery Monitor Widget :- This is a battery monitoring app. There are many out there but this is one of m favorite and who actually helped me to solve the problem.
You device should be rooted for this process..
Steps:-
1. First see if any app is waking up now and then when the screen is off using wakelock detector.
2. Greenify that app and see the changes.
3. If you find some its good or else try freezing that app(NON SYSTEM) through Titanium backup or any other app. See if that improves battery life.
4. Now for the system apps. There may be some apps which may be taking the juice out of your battery. Do this very carefully because you dont wanna delete any important app form the system either by greenify or by freezing it.
5. Simultaneously monitor the usage of the battery through battery monitor widget and See if there is anything that is using a lot of it..
6. Follow the above steps till you dont see any considerable app usage in the battery monitor widget app..
I am attaching a file showing the the sensor which is still eating up my battery..I had once all the sensors on no matter is the screen is on or off..
Share your ideas as well..
I recently updated my G3 from 4.2.2. to 5.1 and now many of battery saving and general utility apps do not work. Prior to the updated I had used Stumproot to root the phone and was using apps such as Titanium Backup, Greenify, Juice Defender, and GSAM to delete excessive bloatware and maintain a longer battery life, among other things. Now not only does Stumproot not work (rooted with via another method that I can't recall the name of right now), but none of these apps seem to work any longer and now I having a hard time deleting bloat and maintaining the battery life I was used to.
Titanium Backup give me a "apk file not found" error when trying to uninstall anything.
Greenify and juice defender crash intermittently and don't seem to mitigate battery drain like they did before
Is there some way of getting these apps to work again or perhaps alternatives that could be suggested?
HI to all.......
i recently bought a lenovo K920 vibe z2 pro that i fully modded with lots of xposed modules.
This is my first attempt to mod an android phone, my first root, but i readed A LOT OF pages during years.......
But, hey let me know if i installed the best app used to check my battery drain. My lenovo seems to be quite power hungry also in indle mode........ and i precise that cpuSPY app read normal deep sleep times, like 80%, 90%....
i uninstalled system built in app ( lenovo) , that did have some strange low consuption modes..... because i only wanna use "regular" method to preserve my battery life, and not the built in od my phone
so then i installed:
WakelockDetector and seems to be quite good but i can't fully understand the differences between partial wl, screen, cpu.... wakeup triggers.... english is not my native language( i'm italian) but i think it' is more a (missed) skill problem....
battery stats plus but interface is not completely clear to me.....
betterBattery stats but it does not work!!! why? i found an xposed module that is supposed to make it working but it only shows semy information, not completed. the app is inusable. could you help me?
..................and in the end, what's the best app to use?
i think that wakelock detector interface is the best one, with nice interface and you can see how many times ( Xnnnn) a wakelock is attempting to disturb battery life.
i will hear yor suggestions, did i miss other good apps? Ah i installed greenify DONATION (i paid) but i still don't setted the app, i firtly want to understand 100% what and how to do things...... how could i choose the best app to "greenify" ? . i read that it's not advisable to freeze lots of apps.....but just some. ok but which? is there a simple list of apps that are 100% SURE to be frozen?
ONE LAST IMPORTANT THING
my smartphone battery arrived with about 0 / 3% battery life ( i i know that lithium should not be stored for much time empty...but i supposed it was a fresh stock, so no damaged battery)
could this be the reason for my bad battery life( it does also go down very fast in my opinion, not only idle but when i use apps.....)? ...too bad i can't change it, it's integrated.
i bought 2 lenovo k920... one for me and the other for a friend. His battery life seems to be BETTER THAN MINE:......... and he uses whatsapp and facebook. ( his battery arrived charged to 40% when i received the smartphone)
i don't use facebook but use whatsapp, have a MIBAND connected and i use pushbulled and WEBwhatsapp.
Check out "Amplify" on the play store. It is the best on my opinion. It will give you control over all wake lock's and alarms. Pared with "greenify" automatically hibernating background apps after use gives great battery savings. There is also alot of information regarding both online. I hope this helps!

Hi,
So i installed greenify on my samsung s8 that i unrooted because banking issues , could not log in so on. I installed greenify and did all the adb commands to improve the performance of the app. But my battery still sucks I it bad to begin with and i use powersaving mode all the time. Is there something i do wrong? Is it possible to extend batterylife by combindig power saving apps?
Thanks all!
