Does anyone use the Trickster Mod app on stock kernel? I have the donate version and i take advantage of the charging LED light. If so what, if any tweaks did you try? I also use the multi core power save tweak set a 2. For anyone that may know, would using titanium backup to convert Trickster Mod to a system app have any advantages?
Doubtful. AFAIK Trickster mod just makes the changes at startup, it doesn't need to run all the time.
BTW I have both enabled, the multi core power saver and mp-decision.
Cool to know it works with the stock kernel. Is there a noticable difference in performance and does it give you better battery life?

It's tough for me to say if it gives better battery life due to a lot of changes in settings, e.g. greenify, app permissions etc working in connection. I will say it doesn't hurt. When my phone is asleep I lose about 1 to 1.5 percent per hour which is okay with me. Performance is fine for my needs. Plus I like the LED feature to know when my phone is charge by the status of the green light without having to psychically unlock the MX and check. But to say how much of a difference is hard to tell without setting everything else back to default and just using Trickster.

Ok so I tried all of the following battery life tweaks:
collin_ph Battery Tweak
DecaMOD Battery Tweak
SetCPU
Overclock Widget

collin_ph Battery Tweak didn't seem to work, I guess.
DecaMOD Battery Tweak didn't seem to work either.
SetCPU freezes my phone whenever I overclock it.
Overclock Widget works, but it doesn't seem to be working now.
One night my battery was ay 92%, I had Overclock widget on and had the Screen Off preferences set to as low as possible. I woke up the next morning and it was still at 92%. I thought it was really awesome, but I removed it to try SetCPU, SCPU froze, so then I reverted to OC Widget and it doesn't seem to be working D:
Any tips - tricks for SetCPU or OC Widget?
Collin's and DecaMOD are both "passive" apps, so you wouldn't really notice a difference, depending on use. At least in my experience. Did you enable profiles and set some up when you were using SetCPU?
You aren't using a bat tweak AND set cpu/overclock widget are you? If so, there is your problem. Never have more than one thing controlling your clock speed. One tweak or one app. No more

+1. No no no. Use one only
ah i have colin battery tweak and overclock but i get at least 11 hrs with both of em on. So to stop overclock just kill the app with task killer? or don't grant it superuser?
I just flashed colin battery tweak to see what it had to offer

You can just uninstall one of them. Look for 16 - 24 hrs of battery life. That's about avg. I would say. I get about 16 on fairly heavy use.

Very useful for gamers who just want to turn brightness up, check notification and things like that.
Thanks for linking to the app, i definitely think this is something google should have built into android. I was looking for something like this a few weeks ago, too, and here it is.
However, i think it belongs in the Themes and Apps section, development is based around ROMs and Kernel modifications, though if a feature like this could be built into custom ROMs it would be priceless.
I agree. This should be a standard feature for Android, well, as for now this app does the job
Wow, really useful app I've come across in awhile. It was always a pain to switch back into the homescreen.
My only concern is that it takes up 12 MB of RAM. I think it could be more optimized? Well everything has a price.
I'm assuming this would constantly have to run in the background. Wouldn't that deplete battery life? ICS's battery life isn't amazing as is so I am not sure I want to make it worse...
FYI, there is a built-in option in MIUI to enable this feature
it uses too much ram 10mbs for this small app is a bit much.

6.7mb here. Doesn't use any extra battery. No complaints here.
Did not notice any decrease in performance of my phone, nothing noticeable anyway. Supercharge your phone to compensate if you want.

I doubt this consumes extra battery life; if so, it's negligent. RAM used does not consume more power; only CPU cycles do.
Besides, if this app was programmed well. It would only be active if it notices that the foreground app was in fullscreen mode.
Very usfull for me,thanks to the creator
This is my app. It doesn't do polling from system to get full screen change. It is triggered when there is size change in window. So it doesn't do anything until it is called by system for adjusting its size.
This feature definitely does need to be implemented stock. It's a wonder that it hasn't already really.
Thanks!
hello guys I want to know in iphone when you click power button the screen turns on immediately but in Zeus 6.33Bn (also all roms I have tested contains stock rom ) it opens after 2/3 seconds some times if there is a lot of apps are working it take 5-15 seconds to open
any solutions ??
Why not using task killer ?

what??
will it affect ??!!!
He mean: Why dont you close some unnecessary app?
and I don't see a big difference between 2/3s and immediately to wake up the phone ^^

I agree!
But using auto task killer will speed up a bit your phone.
If you want you phone even better, use supercharger script.

To my mind, it changes nothing or nearly nothing i use advanced task killer and im using it seldom, after charging only, or when i want to play some demanding game...
But, sticking to the topic, i would advice changing processor governor, what were you using? Are you using custom lockscreen like go launcher or widget locker?

I'm using zeus and it has the default ginger bread lockscreen and I'm on smartass2
Its quite weird, because smartass2 is rather aggressive governor. However, this long-time waiting (5-15sec) comes from lowering CPU frequency to really low, deep sleep numbers.
If its a real problem for you, you can easily increase lowest CPU freq and see if it changes anything. And second thing which comes to my mind, check in build.prop line "pm.sleep_mode=1". It causes device to get into deep sleep.
But, of course these changes will affect battery life... quite strongly :/

thnx all
I've started using Trickster Mod on my locked bootloader X. The main reason was to take advantage of the LED function to have it turn on while charging. However, there are a lot of other tools this app provides. I was curious if changing these settings on a stock kernel would help with battery performance. I've read some tutorials and seen screen shots of what one user applied using this app on a custom X kernel. Does anyone use this app on a stock kernel and if so could they recommended any setups they have found useful for battery life? Would really be thankful.
How do I increase the speed of my Z1 by increasing the RAM and CPU?
not any help sorry but am curious to know why you need extra speed (faster cpu)?
can understand underclocking the cpu to save battery but the phone already runs incredibly fast, an extra 100/200mhz wont make much difference other than kill your battery quicker.

You can use any of the apps from the Play Store such as:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=it.sineo.android.noFrillsCPU
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antutu.CpuMasterFree
There you can change governors and try to overclock your CPU. DO BARE IN MIND THAT THIS COULD POTENTIALLY BRICK YOUR PHONE !!!!
If you don't know what you are doing, don't play with fire.
The device is already super fast. You could downclock it if you want more battery life but its safer to just use apps such as Greenify or the built in stamina mode.
I guess I meant I need to increase my batterylife, I already have Greenify and I did mean underclocking but it came out wrong. I want to drastically increase my batterylife without installing a ROM.
Well if you want to OC you'd need a kernel that supports that. To increase ram, you can delete system apps that you don't need, use greenify to hibernate apps and in developer options, lower background process limit. If you want to make things snappier, you could lower the window animation, transition animation and animator duration (in dev options)
