[Q] What is Maclaw's Panda? - Galaxy S III Mini Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I know it's an energy saver but how does it work? I am also a bit worried that it needs massive amount of permissions.

If you're talking about maclaw parts apk that came in cm10.2, it sets your kernel to ondemand governor to save the battery.

Yes that's the app I'm talking about and thanks for the explanation.
Any idea why it needs this many permissions?

I have the same question @New Macław.
Also, I can't find it in the privacy section (where you can block apps permissions).

cm9 problem

how to increase battery life in cm9.
& how can i fix deep sleep.
plz help.
thanks in advance
Who knows....contact Maclaw.
He doesn't fix it so there is nothing you can do.

I guess it is a basic glitch of battery in CM9 Base itself. Devs are not to be blamed. Try to use something like droid wall to monitor apps which basically give a trick to you everyday and access net from your phone. If possible also try to use batteryextender xda edition from the XDA forums.
Lets see if these help your battery save.

No. I don't think so. CM9 for other devices do not have this bug.

For CM9, Just Flash OOM Priority Changer for battery life. Not that much effect though...
And, flash adrenaline engine for deep sleep
I don't really know if they work. but that's what some users say.

OOM Priority Changer doesn't have anything to do with battery. I think its for better Multitasking or switching apps.

Oh..Ok.
Misunderstood it's use. Coz, i heard people in the forums saying it's good for battery life.
Thanks for the correction though.

Modified files and battety brain

Do you guys think a modified framework-res could cause a bettery drain?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
I doubt it, It depends on what you mean by modified ? If it is simple icon / colour changes then no, If it is something that increases the amount of power needed (like modifying auto brightness values or whatever is hidden inside the framework) then yes.
The best way for identifying battery drain is better battery stats, It gives you in-depth info of wakelocks, times, amount of power used, name of app etc etc. Its a really useful app !
Ot wasnt anything major. Just the lock scrren text 'swipe to unlock'

yeah and check loggs for errors, if the modification is not big free and triggering a recurring error it could cause drain.
also a modified framework, could have malware, who knows

App to change mdnie mode scenario conditionally?

Hi I realise this is (probably?) a kernel dependent option but it would be nice to have an app that changed mdnie settings depending on user actions.
For example if the user viewed a video it could change to video/natural then back to UI/dynamic when playback ceased.
Is there such thing as this ? It would be a nice addition to NXTweaks and other similar apps if not.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
This could be great. But AFAIK, its really hard to detect what kind of action the user is performing due to the fact that too many permissions would be required, and too much trouble to merge it in the kernel.
You probably will never see it around

[Q] What is this for kind of kernel module?

I did some checking in the /sys folders on my Z1 and found this file called "fake_battery" and a value of -22..
What is this parameter related file doing actually for our Z1 phones?
I created an init.d script that echoed an 0 command on that fake_battery file and rapid battery drain issues after full charge did disappear..
EDIT: If someone wants to try this init.d script just for confirm that this isn't any placebo effect - I can upload it here!

Found this on advanced stock kernel.. Should then be on stock also.. Very confusing, but I've not played with anything because this is inside the kernel / driver related folders and I am not into kernel hacking..
Sure u looked in the right folder?

Any clue or suggestion why it is echoed -22 as pre-configured? What does this file even do?
Your link didn't make anything more clear on this one..
In no expert but maybe there are a set of commands used by android with non stock or "fake" batterys...that's what I understood from the link harfot provided...again I'm no expert just my 2 cents haha

I think you are quite right - almost every (not to say all) manufacturers use a higher Amps level for charging their own (known) batteries opposed to unknown (fake) batteries which for security reasons are charged at a lower level.

Well, using an ' echo 0 ' command on the fakebattery file solved my rapid battery drain behaviour, so maybe something was causing misreadings of the actual battery gauge level with pre-configured "-22" value. Before, my drain started to act normal when at 75-78% procentage left, now it is normal drain..

Rebooting changes value back to "-22" (without any scripts) but "0" value don't seem to change when connecting to USB or Sony charger (don't have any other supply at hand right now).

[Q] Conservative governor & sampling rate

So, I've looking at squeezing more juice out of my battery lately. One of the things I was trying was switching to Conservative governor. I really don't mind lag, after all, while trying to get the most battery life a little lag is expected if not inevitable. But when using SetCPU to try to change the sampling rate it won't allow me to change it below 200000. Has anyone found a method to change it or does any one have any other ideas???

Lol, no input guys??? What is everyone using for their governor then???

Yeah, I know you can use rom toolbox, but can you change the sampling rate to anything less than 200000 on Conservative?
So you mean to tell me that everyone in this forum claiming to get over 24 hours of battery life has not touched any of the cpu settings????? I find that hard to believe. Someone must have some info on this.

Not really that hard... My phone with bluetooth on, no wifi, and using only LTE throughout the day until I got home with 10% left.
Stock ROM
Rooted
xPosed
That's it.
