Best kernel ?for battery? - OnePlus X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

The best kernel i use is sultan stock rom 6hour SOT

Trust me use arsenic kernel r23 or r24

Practical kernel
Practical kernel with 720p display!
Btw display really saves up a lot of battery on any kernel, if u can live with 720pAmoled display.

Be realistic....... If someone wants a 720 screen, he would get one from start without paying for a device with full HD screen. So what's the point in downgrading your phone?
Omicron Technics

well if u want to save battery
well if u want to save a little more battery downgrading the resolution might be a good idea!
but only if you are comfortable with it.
i know its hard but still it can be done to save . but according to me it does not look that bad coz our display is AMOLED.
although i use FullHD ,but i have tested battery at HalfHD and its save battery (for me it gave me 1.30hr extra SOT)

First u need to have root and terminal installed.
Step1- open terminal and write-> su ---press enter---
Step2- in the next line write -> wm size *resolution u desire* ----then press enter---- eg ->wm size 720x1280
When u change resolution u have to change ur dpi too *optional !!
For dpi write. .....
wm density *desired* eg--> wm density 290
(For 720 i recommended 290)
-at least those work for me ?

[Q] LCD Density changer

I tried the lcd density changer but it did't worked.
My Questions r as follows:-
1>Is there any lcd changer which works for lg optimus one?
2>After using it,would i be able to play games with more resolution?
(like games of gameloft)
3>Does it increase the battery consumption?
4>Would it be able to increase the webpage's quality on mobile?
Reply fast i m waiting.
LCD charger makes things on your screen smaller. Its not altering the real resolution of the phone but it fits more things in the same resolution. So its up to you if you ll like it or not. Some games may fit some may glitch a lot.

thanks buddy but
Is there anybody who has a version which works on optimus one?
Check the market for LCD density changer.
i searched for it but the free version doesn't works!
In spica(samsung i5700) you just need to modify the lcd density in build.prop found in the system folder. you guys should check it out. Or add the line ro.sf.lcd_density=140 anywhere in build.prop. Change 140 which is the default(i think) to a higher integer lets say 160 for more items fitting inside the screen.
If something goes wrong I am not responsible. Check out this thread instead Samdroid.net

If this is your aim, then I suggest you make a new topic because the title suggests that you only want to change density.
Another way is to install a new LCD(Along with kernel modifications). No its not impossible but extremely risky. Although its very hard to find a higher resolution LCD(OEM) with the same size as O1's.
By the way, resolution has much to do with density.
Density is inversely proportional to resolution, and the only reason that it's a bad idea changing density on Optimus One is that phones with density lower than 160 are counted as LDPI and therefore you need to resize all images and modify most apps so that the phone can run optimally.
When you change your monitor's resolution something similar happens, the only difference is that most mobile devices don't support changing resolution by default.

I believe it's 160. Lower than that it looks closer to LDPI, higher looks closer to HDPI, but bear in mind that these looks are perceived; you're not actually changing the resolution of your phone.

[Q] Change from 1080 to 720

I own an HTC One (M7) which has a 1080p screen but pretty bad battery life. Since I switched from a Galaxy Nexus to the M7 I personally don't have a problem switching back to a 720p screen. Here is my question:
Is there any way of changing the screens resolution (I am rooted and have a custom ROM with Xposed)?
(Like on windows you can set a 1080p screen to display the content in 720p or even lower, which makes the system run faster since the GPU doesn't need to push around that many pixels)

I dont recomend modifying the camera app
120fps is safe. I found device overheats like it does with 4k when recording @240fps an 320fps
Its not recomended, bit rate needs to be lowered at 240, quality becomes poor :/

overheating not a very much problem this devices are space age devices in too much heat they would shut down

Modify the camera app
As said i dont recomend. My device got so hot within 2 minuites it froze up and it continued to get hotter after it crashed, it didnt respond to the reset key at all for a good few minuites.
Im not doing it again because of what damage may come.
So learn how to do this your self and do it at your own will. If you damage your device its your fault.

True that. How about this, if i find a way to run a higher fps rate without overheating or terrible quality then ill post a mod. As for now its going to be left in the mod.
i have learned that you can push the Camera beyond its self but it seems certain batches are capable of this.
Current informationtime before shutdown due to heat)
120fps:11mins ~ 01Hr:09mins
240fps:40seconds ~48mins
360fps:3 seconds ~2mins:33 seconds
I didnt lower the bitrates at all in these tests
Lowring the bitrate extended the 120fps record time upto 3hours max
Also i learned it maxed at 4GB and then stops for some reason (probably filesystem format or something silly like that)
Also recording in dark rooms to lower filesize
I do not want to provide a Mod that is Dangerous to users at all even if i write out a Fancy Disclamer

there is absolutely no way to harm your hardware i am pretty much sure of it
even if it is 40 seconds i would like to try it and 360 too

[Q] I need some opinions

If someone have SM-G850F (Samsung Galaxy Alpha). He can write me his opinion about this phone. He's look gorgeous, and performance look fine for me. But all experiance and opinions are welcome. And i really care about battery life. Its only just 1860 mAh. Is that's okay ?
I'm one of standard user's (just texting and calls, facebook and whats'app ) . Is this will be enough for me ?
Thanks. :angel:
Sorry if my English poor.
Buy another spare battery its removable.
According to GSMarena galaxy alpha had 52hours endurance rating so if you have two batteries then a total of 104hours hehe!
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_galaxy_alpha-review-1118p3.php
I bought this spare battery charger so I can charge my spare back up battery
Performance is excellent I think on par or in between Snapdragon 808 and 810
Thanks to 720p resolution the GPU can load faster graphics compare to heavy 1080p to 4k resolutions, besides its a compact 4.7 inch device so there's no problem even not full HD.
As of today there's no huge difference when you play a game on a 4k resolution or 720p resolution
Clickme
Execept in terms of speed, huge resolutions needs a powerful GPU to render those graphics well while 720p resolutions like Galaxy Alpha (see attachments) can render faster graphics much smoother.
4k resolutions = same visuals(720p) but less FPS
720p resolutions = same visuals(4k) but much faster FPS
So which do you prefer?
I like compact a phone, easy to handle and to operate and of course not eye catching especially in public places.
Anyway having a powerful and a compact device like galaxy alpha

[MOD] Force Nexus 6p to down scale to 1080p

WARNING: SWIFTKEY AND ANDROID PAY REPORTED NOT WORKING
So 1440p on a 5-6in phone is pretty useless, I research a way to actually force our phone (or any) to use 1080p instead of 1440p
pretty simple, there are two way you can do this, one via Terminal or the other using ADB...the ADB way is
adb shell wm size 1080x1920
adb shell wm density 390
then reboot your phone....
second way is, download the terminal and input
su
wm size 1080x1920
wm density 390
reboot phone
if you want to go back to 1440p it will be
wm size 1440x2560 (if you are using adb then adb shell)
wm density 560
pretty simple, let me know if it work or not this suppose to make your cpu/gpu work easier instead of harder thus enhance the battery and lower the heat generate by your phone.
Please dont debate whether you can see 1440p or not...because you cant....dont kid yourself.
not that I care but if it work give me a thanks, I am more interested in how it affect people. since this is my first day of doing it so I dont have any evidence other than cooler phone.

NoMone Resolution Changer application would also work. Please do report back if you notice any battery improvements.
Also please note when down scaling, since the 1920x1080 resolution is not exactly divisible with 2560x1440, there would be some display abherrance which some might notice purely because of down scaling problem which would not have come if the display was actually a 1080p 5.7" screen.

Isn't this just changing DPI? I suspect those info apps show PPI, which doesn't change because it depends on hardware.
Textdroider_dpi is the app I used with OPO, and it worked fine. You do need root.
The first thing you notice after changing dpi is that icons on the main screen change size (to the eye).

In terms of display power consumption, yes there wouldn't be any change. However, the GPU and to a lesser extent CPU doesn't have to be driven that hard to run the display on a lower resolution (s/w wise), hence theoretically leading to better performance, more efficient CPU & GPU. This can lead to battery savings as well potentially. (could be marginal, but needs to be tested)
Anybody tested? Can you extend SOT time? Also 1080 would not be the same proportion...

Yes I read the OP. I read the whole thread. The issue is that actual no one is confirming better battery. Most do not get it to work. Hope to have some extra time tomorrow to test it. Under the theory it should work. My MacBook pro retina has lower battery consumption under lower resolution settings. This should be the same

Let's re-phrase that. Not one person so far has confirmed that this works and it definitely does not on Stock, Unrooted with Terminal or adb.
