Hi all,
I'm using the Car HD rom v27.3 Android 6.0.1
Unfortunately the battery life is draining like crazy a problem I'm having a lot with this phone and boost Samsung devices it seems.
The log from battery monitor seems to show that Android system is the culprit using 79%of battery:

Try a different kernel see if that helps
Some kernels are better optimised for battery

Hello im using s duos with stock rom. I have installed setcpu but its draining battery even if profiles are disabled. In battery statistics android os and android system consumes more battery. but when i uninstalled this app then i observed that battery performance is better.
is this happening because of stock rom or what?
For most of us, the phone is more asleep than it' s in operation. That's why choosing the correct ROM & Kernel is essential for your battery.
I wanted to figure out which ROM is best regarding battery life when the screen is off and how to reach the best result.
I Started testing with the CM13 as it supports Xposed and Amplify, great batterysavers.
I'll Keep this updated per 1 or 2 days.
BetterBatteryStats Calculation.
The app to calculate the drain is called BetterBatteryStats, a well known app.
If I look at my stats: View attachment 0.2.txt I can see the voltage went down from 4402 to 4313 (-89) in 1223minutes. That's 60 x 89/ 1223 = 4.366%/hour = 4.4%, which is correctly showing in BBS in the attached file. Now I translate this to percentages: 4.4% voltage decrease x 5% battery decrease / 89 = 0.245%/hour battery. This is again correct according to BBS. I guess this is a fair calculation. the voltages seem to go up and down all the time, so I don't understand how it's an exact calculation but ok.
Settings
Batterysaving settings - Please KEEP IN MIND It's in a TEST Stage, probably things won't work if you Limit everything like I did, but I didn't encounter many problems =)
-Install Amplify and limit as much of crap you can possibly do. I limited the following to 999999 seconds (lol)
The wakelock names differ to every ROM. That's why I won't name them all. I'll update tomorrow the wakelocks , alarms and services I limited in the xiaomi.eu ROM.
Install Greenify: Aggressive Doze, Working mode: Boost, WakeupTime Coalescing, Deep Hibernation, Gcm Push, Greenifying system apps, Reveal Hidden sync.
And then hybernate all crap, except basic stuff the phone needs. I Hybernated for example: AudioFx, Google play services, live lock screen, nfc service, weather service, google service Framework etc.
General Settings: Wifi never keep on during sleep, BT off, NFC off, Sounds off, Vibrate off, Brightness minimal, no adaptive brightness, disable adjustments, no ambient display, no double tap to wake and sleep, sleep after 5 min, no battery and notification lights, % battery in statusbar, no sync accounts, location off, Developer options: 0,0x animation and duration scales, Play store: dont update, deselect app updates available.
Battery History App: I installed it to monitor at what exact time it decreases every percentage. So I noticed that from 100% to 99% it takes mostly 6 hours or so, while the rest is much lower (around 1 to 3 hours) You can save more battery by not installing this as it has many wakelocks.
Testresults
08/02/2017 - 0.2%/hr in the morning to 0,3%/hr in late afternoon: View attachment 0.2.txt and View attachment 0.3.txt ROM: CM13 + Flashed the CM13 20/12 snapshot & and the DragonXIA CM based Kernel + Kernel Adiutor. Settings: CPU Governor: Ondemand for the 4 cores. disabled Touch Boost. I/O Scheduler: Noop. GPU Governor: Simple On Demand. Gentle Fair Sleepers disabled.
09/02/2017 - 0.3%/hr ROM: Same as above but I disabled the Battery History app. View attachment 09022017.txt
12/02/2017 - 0,108%/hour ! in the morning and 0,148% in the afternoon! -View attachment 0.1.txt & View attachment 4040214ROM Used: xiaomi.eu_multi_MI5_6.11.10_v8-6.0 with Xposed, Greenify, Powernap, Amplify, Battery Saver Off.
13/02./2017 - 0.176% in the morning, 0,267%/hour in the afternoon. View attachment 4040218 & View attachment 4040219Same settings as above but limited more wakelocks.
Are you using cm13 snapshot or nightly(which build)? Also any custom kernel with it?
I installed the 20/12 snapshot, and installed the DragonXIA CM based Kernel

Thanks my friend, I have the paid version but I downloaded it from somewhere on XDA without paying, and amplify aswell.
I actually got 0,1%/hour with the xiaomi.eu ROM with android 6.0 with xposed and amplify and greenify and powernap. (android 7.0 is not supported by xposed and amplify) I will upload new details tomorrow!

Remove these attachments or soon you would see this thread as closed. Its against the xda's rules.
Is there a recent Conky equivalent for Android?
Looking to display at least this info as dynamic wallpaper:
CPU load (per-core/total)
Memory usage
Internal storage/SD load (HDD LED)
Battery percentage
Battery charge/discharge rate in mW
Moss seems to be quite outdated, and its apk nowhere to be found, Conky? for Widget is also outdated with no support for multicore CPUs.
Thanks in advance,

You're looking for KLWP or KWGT.

Thanks, looks interesting, although open-source app would be more desirable.
Also "bi" parameter doesn't seem to contain current or power draw - there's just battery voltage and percentage.
all custom roms on this device have bad idle battery drain, latest i tried was RR oreo with DA kernel and got 20%+ overnight drain.
im asking this because laptop linux OSes dont have this problem. i've tried endless linux flavours on laptop and never had battery drain issues so what is the problem with custom roms on this device?

modified any settings for kernel?
Its because the device keeps awake at after screen off. Faced the same issue, its fixable by disconnecting the battery. Open up the back cover and disconnect it for a min. It will be fixed. Watch YouTube video to see how to open back cover.
1% - 2% overnight idle battery drain on ArrowOS Oreo + Universe Kernel + Magisk + Xposed + 80 apps.
Intelligent use of Greenify + GMS Doze (magisk module) helps alot.
Kernel Settings:
CPU: governor-interactive
CPU-hotplug: screen off single cpu-on
GPU: governor-performance (gaming reasons)

Ja, there is a app on the kernel site and nice profiles. Sysconfig patches a magisk module and delete the apps I don't use or replaced with third part apps.

im going to enable AitoSMP and see how it behaves.
not good at all. why is mpdecision missing in kernel aduitor settings? devs are not using mpdecision?
horrible idle battery drain, devs please do something about this as priority.

i'm using miui pro 8.11.8 and last night it only took %1 after 7 hours
I am only getting 4 hours screen on time so I have begun to make battery saving choices on my phone and I want to share them with you.
I am using latest AOSIP ROM and just minutes ago changed to Sphinx kernel in hope of improving battery. For some reason Android system uses about 16 % of my battery.
Battery saving app choices with AMOLED screens:
Kiwi browser (night mode makes the app black and also changes the site backgrounds black. Also you can move address bar to bottom)
Vanced black youtube (can be installed via Magisk)
AOSIP completely black system theme
Business calendar (black background)
Pocket casts (black podcast player)
Change whatsapp background to black
I don't install apps like Facebook that run in the background and poll the internet constantly in hopes of saving battery.
I am coming from Xiaomi Redmi 4X with fantastic battery life so this has been a bummer.
I really like AOSIP and wouldn't want to change. Other people don't complain about it's battery so I wonder why Android system uses so much battery. I hope the new Sphinx kernel helps me.
Change to Sphinx kernel and install of Magisk module LKT with battery profile improves dramatically my battery life and I haven't seen any side effects.
73 % battery remaining after a day. Screen on time 1 hour and 45 minutes with light usage of WhatsApp and browser mainly.
Edit: 49 % remaining after 3 hours 52 minutes SOT. Very happy with the phone now!
