What are the most efficent Roms for T-Mobile's Note4 ? - T-Mobile Galaxy Note 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I've been flashing like crazy to find the best Rom for battery life but still haven't found one that gives me 4 hours or more screen on time. The most i've gotten out of my device is 3.5 hours screen on time.
I really would appreciate any kind of suggestion. THANKS

FireKat (kitkat) and Poprocks (lollipop). Follow the directions exactly and use his second post for how to make it run. Keep in mind it takes 3-5 days to settle in before you get the best SOT.

depends on what kind of experience your looking for, if you want the note 4 style launcher and icons i would say poprocks for sure, but if your looking for the note 5 launcher and icons with a slight addition to speed i would go with the new 5.1.1 roms, im using tekhds rom and getting about 6 hour sot

I've used firekat and was only getting around 2-3hr SOT, google play services wakelocks were destroying my battery life and for some reason the wakelock mod didn't help either. Decided to check out lollipop and got Tekxodus 5.1.1, has been working great, very fast and responsive and now SOT 3-4hrs, still wish I could get the 9hr SOT others get

battery life these days is more of the quality of the battery you get, the only reason some people get 6 hours and some people get 3 is generally because not all batteries are created equal, there are obviously some steps you can take to increase battery life but that takes more time to and effort to setup as it requires nitpicking at the rom itself and other various apps to save battery life

Actually I did try different batteries, Samsung and Anker...

I'm not talking about the brand I'm talking about the specific battery itself, you can have one battery from Samsung be 6 hours and one be 3

Thanks for the suggestions.

FireKat ank4, Xposed with amplify and autostarts did the trick for me.
I went from struggling to get to 3 hours of SOT, to almost always exceeding 5 hours. The NLPWakeLock was KILLING me. I mulled over installing Xposed but there really isn't any way around it. It's the only way to kill that wakelock.
After installing Xposed and amplify to kill the NLP wakelocks, everything is back to normal. Google services is down to like the 3rd or 4th highest battery drain, and the screen is back at the top like it should be.
Now the next problem I'm running into is the CastSocketMultiPlexer getting stuck.

That (castsocketmultiplex) usually associates with casting apps like YouTube and Netflix to the chromecast

Yea, I just haven't figured out how to get that wakelock to not hang. I cast over netflix quite a bit, but sometimes the next morning it'll stick around for a bit. I hate having to constantly reboot my phone.
Oh yea, don't forget the "wakelock-fix" in here to get rid of the system update wakelock. That one is a real MF'r.
Android seems to have a LOT of wakelock problems, and they all seem to be google's fault. It's like every time they update google services they take 1 step forward and 3 steps back.

[Q] Suggestions?

Ok so...
I got my note 3 rooted kingo. Great. Installed safestrap..great.
Loaded some roms on...Great. played with them...great...
Kudos to everyone that contributes to all these different things so we can get the most out of our phones.
Back on topic.
So Im finding there is no utopia when it comes to using my note 3. This one has features that one doesnt have...etc etc
Basically what Im looking to do is extend the battery life. Im reading all these custom roms give everyone tons of extra time.
HOWEVER theres some bloatware I like and use. But most I dont.
What is the best way to get the most battery life out of my note 3 while its rooted? I saw agreat script or add on that you install and it deletes all the bloatware on load up...but I dont want it all gone.
Is greenify something also to consider???
Any ideas suggestions would be great.
Thanks
Greenify coupled with wakelock detector are the only 2 apps you'll ever need to increase battery life. Wakelock detector tells you what's waking, or keeping your device from sleeping. It even incorporates itself with greenify and allows you to hibernate it directly!
Any tips or tricks on what apps to greenify?
Im assuming wakelock detector is just an app that tells you whats doing what...then use greenify to hibernate it?
And Im assuming these 2 apps really only work best in root???
I never use greenify and I get a full days worth with moderate to heavy use...imo it's just 1 more app to mess with to make you feel good

agreed, my note 3 on any rom lasts 18 hours to a day. my max was 1d 6 hours. i dont think i nor most will ever be away from a charger that long. infact i find my self near charges and not charging because i know it will last till i go to bed or later.

Well everyday note 3 unrooted and stock outta the box loaded with apps and moderate use lasts 17-19 hours on 1 charge depending...
like 730am-1am following day. I was hoping to get it to last longer so at 1am Im not nervous about my phone being at 10% or so...plus at 5% aI think the camera doesnt work.

[Q] Verizon Nexus 6 battery issues

I've had the Verizon version of the Nexus 6 for a week now. The battery life so far has been horrible. I have a friend who has a Sprint version and he doesn't seem to have the same issues that I have. He hasn't turned any features off (vibration, location, or lowered brightness) and he gets decent battery life. I have turned off location, haptic feedback, ambiant display, brightness to 10% and I can barely get 3 hours screen time. I read other posts about battery life from other users and some say they have no problem. 4 hours screen time is usual for them without turning off anything. Are they just trolling? Does anyone have any suggestions? Please help!

i see between 5.5-6.5 hours sot. battery life has everything to do with how you personally setup your device, what apps you personally choose to install and use, and very much about the phone/data signal quality.also, brightness plays a huge factor. i keep my brightness very low, around 10%. if i raise it to 35%-40%, ill get 1 hour less sot.
Wow..5 hour OST. I'm jealous. I don't know what else to change on my.phone to improve it. I already have brightness down to 10%. Plus a lot of other bells and whistles turned off. Maybe the Verizon version is over clocked or something?
No the Verizon version is exactly the same as everybody else's. there is absolutely nothing different other than that tramp stamp on the back

do you play lots of games? i dont. but games will kill your battery quickly, especially if its a gpu intensive game. could also be the quality of your signal. bad quality signal, your battery will always be bad.
Verizon Cloud White 64 GB here. Running completely stock with brightness always at 10% except for a few minutes when I'm outside. I have data and GPS and Wifi and Bluetooth always off when not in use. I mainly use the phone to text and check emails and it only lasts me one full day. Most of the time I have 1.5 hours of screen time. I'll come home with like 25% and only 1.5 or 2 hours SOT. No crazy apps in the background draining battery either, I've checked with BetterBatteryStats and Gsam. I tried flashing lean kernel and underclocked very slightly and the battery life is about the same as on stock kernel. It's really weird because I had a 32GB Blue and easily got 3 hours of SOT and this white one hasn't had as good battery life.

For me stock I get about 3.5 SOT, running Chroma with exactly the same setup I get 5.5 hours SOT. I would suggest trying chroma out. Only thing missing right now on Chroma is verizon visual voicemail.

I'm on vzw. I started this morning at 80% battery. 3.5 hours sot with 30% battery left. I'm using chroma and its amazing with the elementalx kernel. But you really can't compare battery between different users. Everyone uses their phone differently so its tough to accurately measure.

I'm thinking about Chroma for all the battery life I have heard. Do you experience any lag or bugs at all? I haven't had good luck with ROMs on other phones before. Also, am I required to wipe the phone before flashing each new build? Or is it just recommended?

going from stock to aosp rom, youll have to wipe the very first flash. then when the rom updates, you dont have to wipe anymore. youll have to wipe that first time because aosp wont boot over stock.

Chroma is way faster than stock, so no there isn't any lag. The wiping question has already been answered. As for bugs there are a few minor ones but nothing that breaks using it as a daily driver. The only issue I already mentioned for Verizon users no visual voicemail.
I should mention, just do a backup of stock in twrp flash Chroma and if you don't like it you can always revert back with your backup in a few minutes.

After updating from KitKat to lollipop 5.0.1 I am very dissatisfied with the battery.

Hello all, I am assuming other people have had this issue, but are there any roms out there that fix the battery life between the KitKat and Lollipop updates? My battery was amazing at first, I could come off battery in the am, and still be at 95% around noon to 1pm, but now it drains about 20% faster it seems (wild guess, but I very much do not like it.)
Let me know if anyone has come across a rom that has the awesome battery as KitKat had, otherwise I might just try and go back to that.
Thanks!
I'm currently finding myself in the same situation as you. I've been on 5.0.1 for a while, but my battery life has been pretty bad. I just haven't bothered to do anything about it until my son got a Moto G and can get 5.5-6 hours of SOT, and I'm struggling to get 2.5 lately.
I installed CM 12.1 nightly last night, and so far, it may actually be worse. I can't keep it anyways due to music playback bugs.
I was on TEKXodus N4 URv3.6R3 prior to switching. Like the ROM (as much as one can like a TW ROM), but didn't deliver battery life.
I actually came here tonight to read up on the KK downgrade routine and find a KK ROM and start that.

Well that is unfortunately not what I was hoping to hear, but it may just be worth downgrading. I do like the aesthetics and such, especially of 5.1.1 which I have on my Nexus 4, but I much prefer usability and battery that kitkat provided.
I'm sure I'm not alone in saying it's possible to get just as good battery life on LP as KK. I think you need to look at your setup, wakelocks, rogue apps, too many notifications or apps that constantly sync over the internet etc. Example: I lose 2% battery over night (8 hours).

Fwiw, I reverted to ank4 based FireKat and my battery life is back to great. 4 hours sot + 8 hours of music via slacker and/or Google.
People say you can good battery life on LP but I never could. I went through guide after guide, and none of it ever did anything for me. I'm also not going to cripple my phone for the sake of battery. I'd still like it to work.

Best or ideal kernel settings for best battery life with good performance?

The title explains it all—I'm wondering what the best kernel settings are to achieve the best battery life without completely dropping performance. I've never tweaked the kernel on any phone I've owned before, so I have no idea what those settings might be. I currently get around 5-6 hours of SOT, which is great for heavy usage but with a battery those huge we should expect way more.
I'm currently playing around with majorly under clocking the CPU (Currently testing at 1.2 GHz) and have yet to notice a difference in performance. I'll update with battery improvements if any arise.

im on zzmove with profile 6, run only 2 core at 2.4Ghz and every thing seem good
phone run cool and great in game(framerate still good and more stable since no throttling at all, before that with stock, my phone get hot and lag if i play asphat for long) not sure about battery yet but seem good
Try computerfreak ROM, i'm getting 77 hrs on battery and 6 SOT!
Oops just now noticed I had replies.
I'm currently running Resurrection Remix and I seem to be getting better battery life than I was on stock, which is odd; however, I wish to get more. Update me on those kernel settings.
Also I noticed that when I'm at school the cellular signal drains my battery considerably. The signal there is poor, is there any way I can minimize the drainage?

That's a ridiculously easy thing to do, I can't believe I didn't think of this. However, its rather inconvenient. Any other ways? I heard back in 4.4.4 that there was a way to disable certain bands or something to consume less power when you have bad signal.

I'm on rr and honestly I'm not getting the best battery. Like 3.5 hour on screen time. It does still make it through the day though. I changed the kernel settings to conservative under cpu, which helped a lot from previously getting under 3.

Settings, configs, performance tuning, kernal tweaks, then in the app in the cpu tab, the cpu governor option. That's where I found it and I turned it down and I'm getting better battery.
That's odd. I get considerable better battery life on RR than I did on stock. I've hit 5.5 and even 6 hours of SOT with heavy to medium use (when I'm not at school at least).
Same here, but I noticed it lasts much longer with Greenify and Amplify installed with Xposed. I lose about 2-3% during standby mode during the night....whereas before I lost about 10-15% even while on RR.
Just got 7HR and 4 mins screen on time with in 2 days didnt use my phone at school only when i was at home so i guess 7hr's is good..

That sounds right about what stock should be getting for some users. It's good to reference stock with your personal use versus someone else.
1 hour of a playing a game with full brightness will use significantly more battery than an hour of book reading on night move although they both technically have the same screen on time.

I usually consistently got about 5 hours and 30 minutes of screen on time on stock with medium to heavy usage at school and at home.
On Resurrection Remix, I usually get 5 or sometimes 5 and a half or 6 hours, with heavy usage at home. On school days, I can only manage to get around 3, which I find incredibly odd. I chalk it up to the poor signal at my school draining my battery.

You can get 48 hrs on the Turbo. You can also get 5 hrs. Like I said before, it all depends on your personal usage. Perhaps they have a baseline test they do on every phone so there's no variable aside from battery.

the battery life

What really is up with Android phone and their battery life. This been bugging me for like forever and its 4:00 AM and i have to post.
Like my sister had s7 edge and just the general messenger apps IG, WhatsApp, telegram & Weechat. Rest are game for toddler. But all the time the phone been with her, her average SOT is like four hours and the BATTERY KEEPS ON DRAINING on Wi-Fi or Data and NEVER flats out. It only does when in airplane mode. Before you guys days uninstall the games, in the battery usage graph same with GSAMbattery, Android system is like up all the time. So it has to do with Android OS.
is Android really just like this? Do iPhones person better?
I have EXACTLY the same issue with my nexus 6 rooted. When my wifi is up, none stop drain and BBS doesn't show any unusual activity.
What going on guys?

With 4 hours screen on time that is about what you can expect. Mainly when using things like weechat which is notorious for uploading all it data over and over again to its servers in China. Then you have whatsapp which is done by facebook which are known for some of the worst coded apps for battery drain in the market.
Your biggest issue is the screen on time. $ hours is a bit ruff on a device. As the screen is the biggest thing to take up battery. Unlike the iphone which uses a less intense screen due to its lower quality res.

Bro, you should use an iPhone and see! It's much worse than Android. iPhone have less size batteries and you can hardly get through the entire day with one charge according to your usage. Although apple's implementation of background apps optimization is excellent, but still the battery life is less due to small batteries. I feel android is much better in terms of battery.

Totally agree.
You can add that android is still an open system which allows you to hard modify the system, apps behavior, etc.. So you can set your device especially for your daily use.
For example, the way I set my 2yo-phone gives me 8 to 10 hours SOT, which is faaaar from any Apple devices autonomy..

No it's really mostly just the screen being on. You can test this by setting the device screen to never time out and let it sit. You will notice that it kills the battery.

If Weechat and Whatsapp were responsible for the drains, why don't they show up on battery usage as top drainers?
It's always Android System

Bro, you should use an iPhone and see! It's much worse than Android. iPhone have less size batteries and you can hardly get through the entire day with one charge according to your usage. Although apple's implementation of background apps optimization is excellent, but still the battery life is less due to small batteries. I feel android is much better in terms of battery.

Never used Iphone but assumed they have good battery life because of endless praise it gets which is getting old.

That is generic which means apps system api or systems the app uses. Like say the LG tones app. It uses the system BT api and if it drains the battery then all you see is BT at the top.
After years of trial with all sorts of applications to kill apps, battery /juice saves, my ultimate solution on Samsung alpha, 1800amph only battery is conjuction of Greenify, follow up with SD Maid. Alternate day.
Excellent results. I'm rooted.

That has nothing to do with it. I get about the same on my device. Running custom rom.

I'd say that you either have a battery that is past it's useful life, or you have some serious wakelocks going on. 2-2.5 hours SOT is awful. I bought my device used 9 months ago and can easily average 6-8 hours SOT over the course of 48 hours on battery (on stock 7.0 unrooted). I'm only now seeing a lower SOT with this current update to Google Play Services. And even now I still get 5-6 hours SOT in 48 hours.

I know the reason for my bad battery life. It's my signal. Signal here is spotty and if you leave town you lose signal all together. So my device spends most of the day looking for a stronger signal. SOT really doesn't mean much to me.

Ah yeah, well there is that as well. Have you tried turning off LTE and preffering 3G? I've found that helps in some fringe areas.

Yeah I normally keep late off. It doesn't help really. Signal is just too spotty. You can bounce between 2g,3g and lte in 5 min and never move. Then you have the times when the military blocks all GPS and unless you heard the announcement and turned GPS off that would also kill your battery. Then like I said once you leave town you have no signal for hundreds of miles.
Can somebody explain this?

We would need more info before we could really explain it. For starters though it looks like bluetooth is sucking the life out of your battery. Do you have something connected to it currently?
As far as my screen on time goes, im on the pixel rom with no addons and i get 4 hours screen on time

How is 6-8 hours sot possible over 48 hours? I've tried different kernels, lineage/CyanogenMod, Pure Nexus, greenify, and even tried down clocking the CPU to 1.2 GHz or less at all times (shockingly, in normal use I couldn't tell the difference lol). Never got that much screen on time. I'm not even sure airplane mode would do that. My best was around 45 hours, but with about 3 hours of screen on time. And that was with the phone being less than 3 months old.
Currently I'm on stock Android, and getting 20 hours at best with 3 hours sot. At this point, I will say my battery is shot since it is a year old. But I'd love to see your settings and see if I could get close.

Here are screenshots of my battery use from March. 3 days with 6.5 hours SOT. I keep my screen at a relative 20% or so (lower at night). I have very strong signal (major city) And I use wifi about 65-70% of the time. I also actively moderate my screen touches (yes, they do indeed matter). I turn off NFC and I don't use BT. I also actively purge misbehaving apps (I refuse to install some, like Facebook) Other than this, I can't really say. Perhaps, I just lucked out and got a cherry of a system (with the exception of my headphone jack not working with mics...Grrr... and my camera's image stabilization Causing blur at certain shutter speeds)
