Hi everyone, I have had a Poco F1 for the last three years, and I'm not planning on change it for another phone anytime soon, but the thing is, that I'm trying to get into genshin impact, but due to work, I don't have much time to play it at home, so I would like to play on my phone on breaks or on the bus, but there's two problems,
The first is performance, the game really chugs a lot even on low settings precisely when I move the camera, and I've seen a lot of people on the internet that can play with better settings with better performance.
The second is the battery, after a battery replacement the phone is not that bad on normal use, but when gaming, it drains a lot of battery, I think I can't even get two hours without charging it while playing, and I would like to get the same kind of battery life I was getting on when i first got the phone. (I remember playing PUBG, when I first got it, for hours without charging it)
After the long introduction, I would like to get some kind of advice on what custom rom should I flash on my phone regarding this:
-It has to have better overall performance, since the gaming performance is so lackluster and poor.
-It has to have better battery life (yes, I know that balancing the two is kind of difficult, and I've seen a lot of performance specific roms and kernels but I really don't know about the battery life on those), and keep in mind that this is my only phone so I would like to have a phone that can last me one day, on normal use of course.
-It has to support some of the features that the stock rom has, like face and fingerprint unlock, and notch support.
-And lastly it would be essential that the rom supports safenet (since I'd be using banking apps), and google applications baked in. (I would as well not like to root the device).
When researching, I always come to these two, the Pixel Experience and the Corvus OS, but I know there's a ton more out there.
So I would be happy if someone gave me some kind of advice on this topic.
Thanks.
Edit: I´ve never done any flashing of custom roms on any phone so i dont have experience.

You can find everything you need in my POCO F1 Ultimate Collection & Guides. (Scroll down for guides)
About ROMs, I recommend you to pick one the awarded ROMs. Keep in mind none of A12 ROMs have Face Unlock (yet). If you really need Face Unlock choose A11 ROM but A12 is much smoother and better overall and support is active.
Carrying around a powerbank isn't possible? Gaming drains a lot of battery... Could be that Genshin Impact is more taxing on the battery that PUBG. I remember 25% active drain in the latter.
Regarding battery life crDroid is fantastic but the stock Optimus Drunk kernel in A11 wasn't geared towards hardcore gaming. OD kernel is no longer being updated for F1 and in A12 the default is the generic? "perf" kernel. You could try a few of the custom kernels available for A12.
Yeah, I could carry a power bank, but the most pressing issue is the lackluster performance.
When I referred PUBG, I wasn't comparing it with genshin impact, I was comparing the battery life I had in the beginning playing that specific game and the battery life I have now in the same situation.
I have been looking into arrowOS, in Android 11, it seems to have a decent performance increase in relation with stock with better RAM management and good battery life.
I also saw a bunch of comparisons between MIUI 11 and MIUI 12, and the battery life on the first "reminds" me of the kind of battery life I was getting when I got the phone.

Did you replace with the official battery? Majority of the third-party batteries are rubbish. Even in case of the official battery it's possible to lose out on 10% of the rated capacity due to the aging process, 2-4%/year. It's difficult to get the same battery life in changing workloads like games anyway.

Which ROMs are the best and which ROMs are the worst when it comes to battery consumption. Has anyone done any sort of testing / comparison?
Thanks in advance.
I would like to know this as well... I'm running Juggalo's rom which I love but my battery life sux... data off, texting very little and making just a couple of short phone calls and backlight is low and I still have to charge the phone 4x a day...
The most battery efficient ROMs from my experience have been the 21109 build OS ROMs...
I'd like to see what other's have experienced so far...
If you guys can tell me what software to use for battery consumption benchmarking i'll go ahead and help everyone out....
so far it looks like people are going for looks vs performance... sad
I have the AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II phone, and it is absolutely brilliant. Speeds are excellent - no lag. Screen is absolutely AMAZING. Camera is the best I've ever touched.
BUT, the thing that bugs me is the battery life. One of the selling points of the Galaxy S II to me was the "Amazing Battery Life" which has been praised. I have only owned this phone for two days (charged only one and a half times), but I have not seen this "excellent" battery life AT ALL.
Any tips or suggestions? I have read that the battery in this device "improves" after some time (a few charge cycles). Is this true?
Thank you
hey congratulations on your new samsung. I got mine when it first came out and had the same problems with batteries. My best suggestion is to familiarize yourself with custom roms and learn everything you need to know about flashing and rooting, and when you're ready look into installing a custom rom. Cognition v1.5.1 is a really good choice because of the fact that it removes a lot of the bloatware that automatically runs when you turn the phone on (which drains the battery quite a bit). Also some other ways of dealing with the battery life is to reduce the brightness as much as you can handle (the highest setting of brightness on any phone is never a good idea for battery life).
if you search around these forums you will probably find better help from people who know more about this stuff than me. However, as someone who went from never touching android in my life to learning it all with this phone I can say your best bet is to learn how to flash and mess around with the firmware. That coupled with basic battery tips will help a lot.
also one final thought. If you download battery calibrator from the market, charge your phone to 100% then take the plug out and run it, let it drain down to 0% then start the charge over that is the quickest way to fix the battery issues. (this would only need to be done once, or every time you flash a new firmware if you choose to pursue that).
hope I helped!
is Nexus 5 really a good choice as sumone told me its a battery drainer..... had a very low battery backup
i shud buy or wait for Nexus 6??
It's not the best on battery, but there are plenty of people that have no trouble getting through the day with normal to moderate use. If you plan on playing a lot of graphic intensive games then plan on keeping a charger around. There are plenty of ways to monitor and control battery life as well. There isn't a phone out that you won't find someone complaining about battery life but as much as anything it just matters how you use it, what apps you use, settings, etc that really dictate battery life.
Install CyanogenMod on it. Stock ROM is a battery killer
Hi
I am Nexus 4 user - great phone with lot of great ROMs available here, great performance and good size - but battery is no longer big enough to match my needs. So I am looking for a new phone and ran into Xiaomi Redmi Note 3 Pro.
There is a lot of positive comments about this device, but also quite a lot of drawbacks - no 800MHZ band, problems with microphone/speaker, some battery performance issues... So, is there any better choice in that kind of money? I am looking for something with big battery to be able to do something more than 2-2,5h of WEB vieweing... I am not playing games, apps that I am using are not really demanding ones. My other thought is Asus Zenfone Max - but Redmi Note 3 PRO looks much better while comparing some statistics.
So, any other thoughts? I would be grateful for all responses and advices
If you need 800mhz try: http://www.geekbuying.com/item/-HK-...OTG-Fast-Charge-Gyroscope---Black-367828.html
I have no issues with battery or speaker. 800mhz isn't the end of the world unless you 100% need it
If you can live without 800mhz and bad low light camera, nothing can beat this device value. Battery and performance is among the best you can get today.
I never have those mic/speaker/battery/performance issues.
Hello, I received my RN3 Pro yesterday and I have to say it's freakin amazing. A definite upgrade from Nexus 4(I came from a Moto G2, and before that Nexus 4). I charged it to 100% yesterday and it gave me 7.5hrs SOT till 1pm today, which is frankly mind blowing for two reasons,
1) More than 4hrs SOT ftw
2) I played around 1hr of Pokemon go ( continuously uses 3G and GPS) and still managed 7hrs sot.
So yes, you'll easily get >3hrs of web viewing. The one issue I found however is that the phone makes a hissing sound when connected to AUX cable, many people have this problem and are saying it's software related, so maybe there will be a fix. Secondly on very low volume with earphones,(step 1-3) you can hear a noticeable hissing sound which I'm pretty sure is software related, but it's not a deal breaker. The drawback of the Asus I feel is that there's no rom support, not as good specs as the RN3. RN3 has a snapdragon 650 which is basically an improved version of last year's flagship SoC. Also, build quality is amazing on the RN3. MIUI is a great feature packed rom!
So basically I definitely recommend the RN3, the battery life is going to definitely make you very happy ��
Yes definitely,its a beast and even I came from mako to this phone .I've to say I'm amazed by its battery and performance.really so fast the custom ROM development is awesome for this phone.. definitely a good choice to buy this phone for such a low cost..!
Thank You very much for all answers
Yeah, I think I can live without 800mhz, for taking good photos in every occasion I have other more specialized devices
I just ordered 2/16 version
Good morning good evening and good night everyone,
As the title says, I'm looking for any recent kernels for an s9+ with solid battery life improvement, with the current stock android 10 ROM I get 4 to 5 hours of SOT with medium work load.
I've looked into the kernels and roms available on the boards but I need a solid recommendation, preferably from experience.
Thanks in advance

People should change their behavior not kernels I mean i do agree that any custom kernel, rom always gives better battery life, BUT end user is the cause of bad battery life, i often notice people have turned on EVERYTHING they can, NFC, Bluetooth, Wifi, Data... why???? if you have wifi-turn off data, if you ave data turn off wifi. If you don't have anything connected to Bluetooht-turn it off. Lower your screen brightness, many people use SUCH A HIGH brightness it burns their retinas. With Every phone i had last 5 years i need to charge battery every 3rd, sometimes 4th day. But i dont live in phone. I do have computer, phone is phone not replacement for computer. My words may sound like nonsense for nolifers who lives in phones (facebook, instagram and so on), but that's truth.
So to answer your question - ANY custom rom with custom kernel will be better then stock. Also make sure your resolution is fullHD not maximum, that helps too, and try lowering brightness even tiny bit. screen is biggest power consumption (if not gaming, but people use consoles for gaming)

I totally expect to drain my battery when I'm on a workload, but there's a discrepancy with my work load and battery usage, sometimes the phone sits idle and it eats 10 to 15% in an hour (no always on display or anything else). I've never been a guy of irresponsible phone usage either, I like to keep track of what my phone is doing and I usually turn off all the extras i'm not using (it's second nature to me to do so just like how you would check if your keys are there every once in a while). I'm not looking for a miracle kernel that saves battery even when i'm using my phone irresponsibly. I'm just looking for a well rounded efficient experience with my phone which doesn't get me through the day.
Thanks a lot for your answer and do you have any specific custom rom names or kernels that you've tested and would suggest, please?
