Hey people, I don't know if this has been discussed before. I tried searching for this but couldn't find anything w.r.t subject....
Has anyone tried switching to ART from Dalvik on Stock ROM non-rooted without any bootloop and/or other complications?
If yes is it recommended in terms of;
1) Performance
2) RAM usage
3) Battery Life ?
Thanks to share your experiences and observations.

Just purchase my phone about two weeks ago, I been noticing that the battery runs out quick is there a rom you guys advise I should get to work out my battery problem? if so can you give me a link to it? and yes I have use the "search" tool but I would like some input from people actually using the roms and what they think.
Are you rooted? Are you using a task killer? Have you checked in settings to see what's using your battery? Mine always showed the screen using the most, set to auto.

If you open up the app menu, and go to the "Help Centre" it gives tips on how to "Train the battery". Haven't tried them yet, but seems to be a logical solution, so hope it helps even jus' a bit innit.
Thank you guys for the response I rooted my phone and installed a custom room its working great and battery life is better

Just to add some information to the thread. If you use a task killer, be careful not to use a kill all function. The task killer will kill processes only to have Android start them again, leading to an endless loop of restarts, which will drain your battery and adversely effect performance.
I get excellent battery life using Cyanogenmod or Sapphire, where I'm at right now.

Thanks for the info Bateluer, by the way im using SimpleROM v1.0 on my droid haven't had any problems with it.
Is there an app that dispays what's actually draining the battery?
My cappy seems to randomly drain fairly steadily and quickly some days but not others with the same type of usage so I want to find out exactly whats happening.
Im currently using watchdog and systempanel but neither really show what's going on.

Hi, Nooby question coming up.
recently rooted my SGS2 using the Chainfire Kernel and now have noticed that Android OS is prominent in my battery usage, sometimes around 50%in an hour,
Is this normal?
I also run a HTC IS stock and I have not yet seen ANdroid OS on the usage stats.
What is Android OS doing as I have also noticed Android System in the list at times?
I have had really bad battery drain, with the phone lasting maximum of 4-5 hours with very light usage.
Does anyone have any ideas?
I was thinking maybe doing a complete wipe and reinstall of the os. I had an xperia x10, which had an app called SEUS (Sony Ericsson update service) which would force the recovery and complete reinstallation of the os.Does that sort of utility exist for this phone?
Thanks in advance, and sorry, I'm new to this phone.

Does anyone know how I can get more specific information than the screenshots I posted?

AW: Bad battery drain by system
You can use Better Battery Stats to look when the phone is in deepsleep...
If there is not much deepsleep, you can try deleting some apps like facebook and other apps which always run in background, then test deepsleep again and there should be a positive result...

Tried that. It seems to be mostly the system using the battery

Hey guys,
I have a rooted device, running stock jb (XXLQ4) with Cocore E 5.0
The battery life is pretty sucky tho
..it discharges like 30 % during the night (6 hrs of sleep). I have read in other threads that people usually have only 4 to 5% drain..
Can anyone of you tell me what it is that I should do to increase the battery life? Using no frills cpu or any other things that might help?
Im sorry if there was another thread with some similar content..I have googled and all but am unable to find data specific to this device..I'l be grateful for any help that I can get...
Thanks in advance..

Search for apps who stay weak and dont let the phone to enter in deep sleep.
Sent from my GT-I9070 using xda premium
Could you please tell which is the best app to use for this? Or do I simply go into the settings and tap on battery?one other thing, I had read somewhere in this forum about checking an option which enables deep sleep mode..is that so and if yes, where can I find that option?
Thanks again for your help...

You should use BetterBatteryStats, search for it in xda forums, as it is free for xda members (you can pay for it in Play Store to support the developer)
Search for Partial Wakelocks to track the apps that are draining your battery

i took a liberty to look inside the zip that you flashed.. when you have issues later on(random reboots, etc. theres lots of potential for conflict in that zip), just reflash your rom(and gapps), no need to wipe.

I heard crossbreeder works better, Although I haven't tested it out myself.

All these lag eradicating solutions might do more harm than good. The better solution is to try a custom kernel or tomorrow rather than toy with these less than technically fundamented placebos.

Did you research what was done before you posted ? Or was this just a negative lashout for no apparent reason ?

The former, I saw it too when I had an S3. I read it before.
It's less damaging to your battery life compared to Seeder and less placebo than supercharger but it's more intrusive and it messes around with this that are not the source of lags/issues
Most likely it keeps i/o or cpu less in idle state so it performs better, but has a cost in the long run.
Kernels are a much better approach and frankly I had zero lag issues with this phone.

jfi .....kernels mess with governor settings too.
I have the Octa S4 and I have flashed this too, I am using one older version though but it does indeed make your phone somewhat a lot smoother, animation and scrolling, but i'm selling the S4 and returning back to Nexus (S4 Price = Nexus 4 + Nexus 7 Second Gen (?))
