I don't mind if the performance goes down cause...let's be honest this thing hardly lags. I just need a strong as hell battery life from this device. I've tried going Pixel Experience CAF with Sphinx Kernel underclocked on OnDemand. I just don't feel that it's enough for me. I don't wanna change phones cause Poco is Poco and it's the best for the price. So recommend me or give me tips for the best battery settings for this device.
I'm on miui 10.3 (9.3.1) beta with Sphinx Kernel 2.5
Undercloked and all the battery saving stuff activated. Also with tasker (WLAN and 2g/3g/LTE) profiles.
I'm fine with it for the moment. I'll watch the next few days how it works with all tweaks.
after trying eu and miuipro roms.....the best battery performance is the "old" stock miui 9.6 oreo.....
OOS everything stock
i've been using LOS 16 + FrancoKernel recently and with a few tweaks was able to get about 12 hours SOT out of my poco f1
use the FK kernel manager app and apply the battery lab settings (25% cpu underclock - gpu underclock - battery saver profile) also disable one core from each cluster ... i didn't experience any lag at all with these settings and the battery life was excellent...
The best battery friendly setup is to turn the phone off. :laugh:

The best battery I had was on the last oreo update which gave a consistent result of almost 12 hours of Screen On Time

Hi, can you point me to which specific version of MIUI are you talking? Would like to try that one out.
Thanks.
Official Nightly LineageOS Build, everything stock with limited customizations, install Sphinx Kernel for best battery saving kernel, underclocks CPU and GPU.
A clean LOS or pixel experience with snoozed GMS services, underclocked chips and blocking stupid wakelocks. Thats how i got 12hrs+ SOT.
Oh and everything is dark with substratum

What's the sense of dark themes on a LCD panel when it comes to battery life?

It's not lcd, it's ips-lcd. Ips stands for in plane switching (backlight) so, here you go.
But of course power consumption is higher than amoled with pure black (#000000) pixels.

Hi there, I just got a Le Max 2 x820, not for battery but for 820Soc. My Previous device was Redmi 3s, Le max 2 is too good in performance, but I'm stuck with vendor rom and facing frequent Fcs, which ROM has the longest SoT ? I'm planning to change ROM, help me out guys, is it Small EUI or any oreo rom or slim 7 or carbon or pixel experience ..... , which is the longest?
Definitly Small EUI or the Final Release of EUI 6. All Oreo Roms have an idle battery drain problem, at least for me.
Otherwise Nougat Roms are ok. But best is EUI.

in case you are looking for custom rom,
for battery go to AICP or MSM-extended, but in AICP the support for magisk is poor
for looks got to pixel experience but very poor battery
for dolby inside rom go for rr rom 5.8.5 or rr rom by mukul soni
for overall good experience go for lineage but no customization
at the end each rom has some ifs and buts, depending upon your user experience, you have to decide what to do.
cheers................
MSM-Extended for battery? I have 2h - 2h 30m SoT :/

Stock ROM is best for sot
but in custom ROMs
Marshmallow- RR M
Nougat- slim ROM (but I prefer using mokee or during or RR because of better experience)
Oreo- aicp or aosip
What SOT are you getting? I get 5+ hours with dirty unicorns 8.1, on demand governors with no frequency changes and greenify. I'm using the original battery, which is reported as 3012 mAh by accubattery.
I will write this once more....
SOT it's not something standard and same for every user even with same rom.
It depends mainly on:
Apps installed
Apps and services running in the background.
Social media apps and usage.
Screen brithness
and alot more things that are unique to every user.
So asking about SOT is a question that has no real meaning.
That's why we read so many different opinions and numbers for the same rom.
As a conclusion don't ask and don't compare SOT's... It will be different for every user.
Hi guys,
I'm a new Poco user. I've checked out the forums and saw lots of ROMs, Kernels and even Recovery software. I'm a bit overwhelmed for the first time as I'm liking stock MIUI 10 for now. Can someone enlighten me on which ROM has the most features, what ROM is the most stable, which kernels go best with which?
Stability: BaikalOS, Pixel Experience
Powersave: BaikalOS
Customizability / Extra Features: Resurrection Remix, crDroid, Havoc-OS / POSP
Performance: Nitrogen OS, crDroid
Pixel Like: Havoc-OS, Pixel Experience
These are the ones I know but haven't tested all of them. Tell me if I'm missing any.

Wow thanks. Does BaikalOS have the app cloning feature? How good is the battery life compared to MIUI 10?
best kernels
Sphinx and Franco kernel
Best roms
Lineage and stock
Stock is of course the most stable, but the beta builds always have bugs they always remove settings add settings fix something break something.

It doesn't have the app cloning and battery life is a lot better if you manage the background apps strictly but you still have to install it and test it yourself.

There is no best rom or best kernel, it all comes down to personal preference...
Lineage Pie with Franco kernel.
..and go with pixel experience only if u r into very stock version which I think is overrated given its customization limitations.
I have always hated chinese ROMs or apps, take MIUI for example they have like hundreds of apps injected into core system (miui security, miui contacts, miui dialer, miui messaging, miui this that and what not...)

Hi fellow Flip! Yeah I went with Ambasidii rom based on stock MIUI since I need the cloned app feature for ROM (Slave priest). It's rooted and has derp kernel. Battery life is quite a lot better. I was redownloading all my apps overnight and it only drained about 7% of battery life which is 1% more than full stock on idle without WiFi.
By the way, do you do a battery recalibration once you switch roms? Standby time is fantastic on mine but it seems to drain a little harder while playing ROM compared to stock.

There's no need to recalibrated when switching roms. Recommended calibrating your battery ( each month or every three months )
android phones this days use lithium-ion (Li-ion) or lithium-polymer (Li-po) batteries for Poco F1 . This batteries don’t need to be fully discharged, and come with smart chips that make calibration unnecessary and that's the good thing for us.
Just want to share this method , i do this all the time after switching custom roms.
First, drain your phone’s battery completely. Don’t charge it at any point while it’s draining. Let the phone keep working till it shuts itself off. Once the phone has shut itself off, restart it so it shuts off again. Even though the battery was at 0 percent, it has a few reserves left. Now, while the phone is off, charge it to 100 percent. It’s safe to use quick chargers for this, but make sure you hit 100 percent. Once it’s fully charged, unplug it and boot your phone. Android might not say it’s at 100 percent, and that’s okay. In that case, plug the charger again and let it get to 100 percent. then unplug it. This cycle of full drain and recharging lets the chip calibrate its readings with the battery’s charge cycle.
hope that helps:good:

Hello,
I'm looking for a rom and a good kernel that is very good on battery life. Also I want to try out the debloated MIUI. Where can I find it?
And is it true that the MIUI rom is the best for battery life?
try Xiaomi Eu rom ,with notification mod and restricted every app that you don't need so much. you might wanna clean rom more ,use lucky patcher and cleaned the rom. i did it my self.. trust me much better..
I am myself testing with Pixel Experience and the LKT magisk module. so far 2h of screen on time with only 20% battery drain, so i'd expect 8 to 10 hours of SoT just like that.
I've also heard malakas kernel has superceded Sphynx/FrancoKernel as the most battery friendly kernel you can install, but i have not tested that.
In the past, xiaomi.eu has given me better battery life than lineage/phh-treble in previous devices ( Mi MAX 3 ) so maybe combining xiaomi.eu + malakas kernel + lkt and maybe disabling half of your cores would give you a lot more SoT. I'll definitely post my findings in a few weeks on the SoT thread after i compare my current setup vs what i've just proposed.

At 299 euros, it's cheaper than getting, let's say, the BQ Aquaris X2 or the Zenfone Max Pro M2 for some unholy reason. and as a glorified Discord machine and music player... 2 high perf cores and 2 low perf cores are more than enough. and i get a battery boost on top of that!

There is this app called Naptime from the author of Franco Kernel that forces doze no matter what as soon as your screen goes off. so that should also help with miui rom sleep delays.
as for running themn on a lower frequency, i've found that chrome loves crash (locking the whole system up with it) if i make them go slow enough, so disabling half the cores at the stock speed seems to be doing the trick for me. Maybe both can be done within reason for some extra gains though
i think you should use revo os or miuipro.And uninstall apps magisk module terminal debloater or es file explorer.I am used pocof1 basic debloat.xml import terminal debloater and after other apps opened system apps and priv apps es file explorer andddddd delete folders

Considering deep sleep, would it be beneficial to go with NOS and Malakas kernel for even better battery? I mean there should be less bloatware and deep sleep could be less of a problem.
Hi guys, what kernel are you using and what is your averge SoT. I am using crDroid build and i am loving it, but i get poor battery life, around 5h I am using default kernel with this rom, and also i flashed 2.4 Ghz thermal but nothing is improved. Maybe my battery is just dying Is there way i can check that?
Thanks ?
Crdroid Gives Very Good SOT
goto Crdroid Misc Setting and enable battery saving features~!
Crdroid on Optimus Drunk kernel and I am using that kernel and its very nice
you may use Franco, its very popular one!!

Optimus Drunk user here, however I'm using it on PE Plus ROM.
Usually I got Around 16 hours battery last with SOT of 7 hours. Daily usage for browsing, media socials, and a little gaming (no more than 1 hour).
I also use LKT, that thing is magic for your battery life.
which is the best rom for using as a daily driver with every feature working with minimum to zero bug? I don't want to use miui or miui.eu. I'm currently using corvus and there's no bugs except slow fingerprint scan which is somewhat fixed using schedutil governor. but faceunlock is not working. Please help

Reloaded OS. Being a CAF rom performance is best. It is really stable as a daily driver but it has minimal customization. It also has working face unlock. Give it a try.

CrDroid for me has been the most tweakable ROM with consistently good performance. I have used it with both sphinx and disrupt kernel which give me a smother scrolling/daily usage experience than stock kernel. Your mileage might vary.

No Gravity kernel is pretty good but you really need the no gravity app as well if you want to use it to its fullest potential. Out of the box it's goals are two fold: battery life and no thermal throttling of the SOC. It achieves both of those goals by being quite conservative with clock speeds and cpu ramp ups. This is good for sustained loads but does lower benchmarks. This is easily solved by selecting a different profile using the no gravity app. I am not the biggest fan of the app so I don't use kernel.
When I last used it, I got a few random reboots, but that was a while back and I was on Xiaomi . eu on Pie at the time. I don't believe those issue still exist but I can't tell you for sure. One of the problems with the Poco F1 is that in order to cut costs, the company had very lax tolerances and sourced their components from a wide variety of suppliers. The result has been a greater degree of variation between how everyone's phone functions (at least that's been my impression). What works on my phone might give errors on your phone. You just have to try it out.
The good thing about the phone is the development community is so diverse that you will definitely find something you like. Its truly and enthusiast's phone and my experience with it has been very similar (on a high level) to my experience with FOSS and Linux distributions. But that is why I bought the phone in the first place.
PS: CrDroid now has per app profiles (although how much that is respected by non-stock kernels varies)
