wake up phone quickly

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 ?

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 :/

Tegra Overclock app and Brightness LG Cutter

Recently an app was launched in Google Play that puts different settings to our Tegra CPU.It's called Tegra Overclock : https://play.google.com/store/apps/...=W251bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS50ZWdyYW92ZXJjbG9jayJd
This app maybe can fix the problem with the brightness cutter problem that many of us who uses 100% brightness have :

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
I ll run some tests by myself but i would like from all you that can afford to buy this app to run some tests and post your results
The questions that must be answered are the following :
1) The CPU temperature or the Battery temperature makes the brightness cutter to popup ?
2) In which temperature limit does the brightness cutter pop up and lower our brightness to 87% ?
3) Which settings of the Tegra Overclock app can raise up the the default temperature limit to a higher level ?
4) Do these settings produce lags in light or heavy use?
Please run some tests by yourselves as i am going to do and give feedback.This is a very annoying thing in both the Optimus 4X and G phones for all of us who want to have brightness set at 100% all the time.
PS : I know that there is a trick to make the limit higher by doing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2187017 but it's not a permanent solution as it's changing the files of Tegra Thermal to default values in every restart of the phone.

Tegra overclock can set thermal values at boot, but these only affect CPU speed, the smartdimmer can't be disabled either I tried and the screen goes all messed up

Thank you for your feedback.I spoke to the developer of the app and he is near to find a solution without degrading the performance of the system.

I just wanted to post this here, but @ipred was faster I wanted to ask if anyone has tried this app? Does it really work - I mean, can you control how many CPU cores are fired up at boot ? Can you save some battery with it ?
What are you experience with it?

Yes it works perfectly fine. Im able to adjust GPU clocks (only to what the kernel allows, or it freezes and reboots). I can also force a number of CPUs online so they are constantly being used. Im not so sure of thermal guard though. But all in all I find this app useful for when I want to boost performance in games; it helps.

I have bought and used this app an it works pretty good, once you get the hang of it. The depiction of the changes you made isn't very well showed, but otherwise in my case at least - running stock rom, rooted - I can successfully set CPU speed, force some or all cores online or even use the companion core exclusively, plus I can also increase/decrease GPU speed and SD access speed. All in all, I'm now satisfied with the purchase. The problems, ipred, keeps facing with screen dimming are unknown to me, because I set screen at 40% brightness and so I've never noticed high enough temperatures that impose limitations on screen brightness or performance.

In my O4X (rooted unlocked) wirh stock kernel (and rom) i think even if i change gpu clock, actually doesn't change...i'll try with other kernels (eternity one because is the only one usable with stock rom)

I believe this is because your GPU has not been unlinked from the CPU, meaning your GPU clocks are dependent on CPU clocks. The settings don't stay because the clocks are constantly changing.

No, tegra overclock unlinks, well actually it forces the value. Because of limitations in the kernel no frequency above 416mhz will stick, however on cm10.1 @laufersteppenwolf built a kernel that can do the HTC one x default of 520mhz

So, does tegra overclock make the GPU independent by forcing the values rather than using tweaks?
Just need this to be clarified.

it executes two commands, one that unlinks the GPU from the CPU and the other one that echos the desired clock speeds to the right GPU parameters.

I think you can edit the framework.res.apk to set the stock values higher or lower but dont gamble with it if u dont know exactly what u are doing! To edit them use a tool like virtuos ten studio! You can find it here on xda..
Have a nice day at all

Thanks for your answer but i will wait till Monday as the Tegra Overclock developers answered me this today :
"Alright we have completed the brightness cutter solution module and can upload the update as soon as we make it ready to set on boot BUT we are afraid of piracy as this patch is important one and we saw a hell lot of piracy last week of our app, that's why we reported to you that the patch is ready and we are working on google licensing service. We should be able to upload by Monday if the Piracy protection gets implemented soon"

The update came today and in the release notes it says :
"V1.5.2 MUST CLEAR DATA OR FIRST UNINSTALL APPLICATION AND THEN INSTALL THE UPDATE
***An attempt to eliminate the Brightness problem found in Optimus 4X and G devices. Please refer to EXTRA section of app"
The problem is that i cannot get into EXTRA.Every time i hit the button EXTRA the app is crashing.Before the update i uninstalled and reinstall the app as the notes say.I made a report to the developer and hope that he 'll fix it today.

Its been updated and now works, only issue is even if you disable the control you can't adjust brightness via normal setting anymore. But they're going to fix that too
Sent from my rooted P880

1.5.4 is the last update published today and unfortunately it does not resolve the brightness cutter problem at least on my phone.
I really can't understand why LG put this brightness cutter ! Would it be more convenient to have included an advice message "Please lower the brightness..." and let users decide instead of lower down the brightness automatically ???? And secondly , why 44 Celsius for CPU and 34 Celsius for the battery are considered so high temperatures????
I wish in the future that a developer will find the source of this brightness cutter activity and remove it, or disable it or shut it off !!!

Is there someone available ( rooted of course ) to execute a command that according to the developers of Tegra Overclock has a lot of chances to disable the brightness cutter? I personally don't have time these days to run tests.
If yes please contact by email ( [email protected] ) the developer of Tegra Overclock ,Rohit Joshi, to tell you the steps.:good:

Finally the problem with the brightness cutter is solved !!! The developers of the Tegra Overclock application managed to create a patch that disallow the cutter to come up.
All you have to do is to download the updated ( 21.06.2013 ) Tegra Oveclock app from Google Play, open it, go to Εxtras, check the box Patch Brightness Cutter LG (ONLY ) and reboot ! The solution is permanent!
For rooted users only.
Many thanks and respect to the developers οf Tegra Overclock

[Guide]The Quest for Better Battery Life on Your S5

Hello guys and gals! Been a while since I've started a thread heh. So let me start off by saying this thread is a collection of both tweaks I've found through my incessant tinkering and apps I've come across throughout the last few years. That being said the apps I will cover are the work of the developers who created them and all credit goes to them.
Settings Tweaks:
One of the first things I do on any Android phone is enable Developer Options under system settings (you do so by tapping build number under about phone 7 times). There is a specific group of settings in there that can help give you more screen on time with less battery drain.
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Window animation scale, Transition animation scale, and Animation duration scale can all be turned off. Without having to draw these animations constantly your screen will consume less power, and may even seem snappier.
I know there are very mixed reviews of Smart Stay, but I feel like it can only help. Samsung has also included some settings to adapt the brightness and color based on the onscreen image in order to save battery. I assume that can only help our cause. Disabling the screen to wake on all buttons except power can also save wasted battery from your screen turning on in your pocket (there are xposed modules that can do this or you can get into editting key layouts with a root browser).
Lastly, as far as user level things for helping with more screen on and less power use, keeping your wallpaper on grayscale or dark images and using dark theming really helps as drawing light colors on the screen uses more energy.
Power Saving Tools:
The first on the list is a heavy hitter, the app Greenify. I cannot stress enough how crucial this app is. It allows you to put set apps into Hibernation, stopping them from running in the background and eating your memory and causing wakelocks preventing deep sleep. It has a great built in auto-hibernation option in settings which I highly recommend enabling.
I also suggest supporting the developer and buying the pro version. It enables some experimental features which backbone on the Xposed framework, allowing you to hibernate system apps, which proves very useful for running services that don't need to be 24/7.
Paired best with Greenify is any one of the large selection of battery monitoring apps. The best one in my opinion is GSam Battery Monitor, it gives you a detailed breakdown of what is using your battery so you can hone in on sources of drain. BetterBatteryStats and Wakelock Detector are a couple more of my favorites.
Tasker is quite possibly one of the best apps out there. Another one I highly suggest to support the developer and buy the pro version. You can set up automation tasks to control your phone without lifting a finger. In order to get the results we're trying for it will also need the plugin app Secure Settings.
I have 3 profiles that are relevant. The first 2 are linked, Home Mode and Away Mode. Home Mode sets all of the settings shown above in the At Home task when WiFi detects that it is near my home network. When WiFi detects it is NOT near my home network, the settings change to what is shown in the Away task image above. Allowing Tasker to control the aspects will help make sure your phone is more battery friendly when you are away from a power source.
The third profile is a simple Shake to Greenify, which hibernates all set apps through Greenify by a good shake of the phone.
Even though we cannot overclock due to the locked bootloader, don't forget about the option to underclock which can greatly save power. I use SetCPU to run 2 profiles, one which slows the CPU to a crawl when the screen is off preventing any apps from going too crazy with cpu wakelocks. The other profile gives the full range of voltages when the screen is on. I prefer to use OnDemand as my governor to save cpu power for when I need it.
Last on the list is Lux Auto Brightness. The free version does just fine; this app controls your light sensor far better than the native auto brightness setting, and the different update modes give you different options as to how you want the brightness adjustments handled.
With this list of tweaks and helpful app usage, I encourage you to test and try different things to find what works best for you. Hopefully I have helped in your quest for better battery life. Cheers!

Can I safely hibernate any of these system apps?
Thanks for the detailed info, I am always looking for better battery stats!

I would Greenify Quick connect, S Finder, and ROM Mart. If you need to use the app it will exit hibernation once you go into it.

What all do you have greenifyed? I don't wanna greenify something and mess up my phone, I have an AT&T S5.

Basically anything coming up in Greenify showing wakelocks and long run times gets Greenified.

So one I greenify something will I have to regreenify it if I use the app again?

No, once you Greenify it it will hibernate any time you trigger the hibernate all option, either by shortcut, shake, or auto-hibernation. When you use the app it will wake up, and will re-hibernate when hibernate all is triggered again.

I originally saw your post in the Dynamic Kat thread, two days with four hours of screen time is amazing! Is there anything else that you can tell me (apps or settings) that will increase my battery life? I've done everything you said in your guide. I usually get 13hr of battery with two hr of screen time.

I personally use power savings mode and restrict the processor and turn on gray scale. I get around three days generally, but I don't use my phone nearly as much as my tablet.

The only time I use powersave mode is when I'm out and my battery is less than 25 percent. At work I usually listen to music for at least 4 hours, and at night I usually play games for at least 2 hours. The only other things I can recommend are freezing a crap ton of system apps in Titanium Backup. Also, any games that you have that give push notifications will hang out in memory, so disabling notifications will help keep them from waking up. And it goes without saying that bluetooth, gps, wifi, and mobile data should stay disabled until you need them, and turned back off after you use them. Regularly check BetterBatteryStats and Gsam Battery Monitor to see what's using your battery the most and nip it in the bud.

You also need to know that smartphone batteries these days are smart as well. They learn your usage patterns and adjust accordingly. When I first got this phone my average battery life was 12 hours, and after about a week it lasted a lot longer. Then after flashing DK my battery life went straight into the toilet for about 3 days until it re-learned. You have introduced a bunch of new changes to your phone, so it may take a few days or even a week to fully adjust to everything. It can also never hurt to go to safestrap and clear your cache and dalvik cache.

That is impressive my friend! For the sake of the Guide do you use any of the same techniques I employ or do you have other methods you could give to aid in the quest?

Just froze most if not all bloat. Set screen on least brightest inside house. Add u can see WiFi & mobile signal where full strength. So that might had some to do with it. Mobile was on AT&T Micro cell that day also. Use most stuff as everyone else, xpose, gravity box, greenify, tb to freeze bloat.

Note 4 Battery life improvement

Powersaving / extend battery life
On rooted and non-rooted Note 4 devices.
There are quite a few battery saving tools on the playstore market. However, most of these tools only use what your device can already do by itself. Besides that, it is one more app that can and will consume power so the overall effect of these apps is very limited.
Here is a lot of stuff you can do by yourself to save power and increase battery life. Although most forum users will already have some knowledge on the way your phone works I will begin this post with the most obvious tips on power saving.
Obviously, the list below is a list of possibilities, and not a list of stuff you should do immediately while reading this post. Just look carefully which functions you really use which you don’t. Every option can save a little bit of battery, but together they make quite a difference.
I am quite a heavy user and at this point my phone can do 1,5 to 2 full days without a charge.
General:
1 Turn your GPS of if you are not using it
2 Turn your Wifi of when not using it
3 Turn your Bluetooth of when… (you get the idea)
4 Same goes for NFC
System settings:
Display and wallpaper:
Use auto brightness and set it to your liking. There 10 different levels of auto brightness. I have found that level 2 or 3 is not only sufficient but friendlier to my eyes.
If you really want to get most out of your battery, it’s possible to have a completely black wallpaper image. Black doesn’t take any power so this will save you a lot during a full day of work. I always have one black wallpaper in my preferred wallpaper list.
Smart stay. With smart stay on, the device will stay on while looking at it. Now you can reduce the screen time out mode to 15 seconds. Actually works pretty well and saves a lot of power.
Activate auto adjust screen tone.
Turn daydream off.
Turn led indicator off.
Touch key light duration on “always off” or 1,5 seconds.
Increase touch sensitivity off.
Lockscreen:
It really helps if your lock screen just has a black wallpaper.
Unless you really need to, don’t make your screen lock too complicated. The fingerprint scanner seems pretty cool but really isn’t. It often takes several swipes to get it to work and that takes power as well.
Personally I use non at home and a simple pattern outside. I use the tasker app to automate this but I will talk some more about specific apps after the general settings.
Multiwindow:
Although the multi-window function is one of the things that makes the Note series the king of Phablets, a lot of users hardly ever use these functions. If you are one of these users, turn this function off. The hone keeps checking which apps you can or can’t use in this function evertime you open an app, or open your recent apps. This takes power and CPU.
Even if you are a multi window user, the 2 listed options:
Open in split screen view & pop up view shortcut aren’t used by many. If you don’t use them, turn them off.
S pen:
Same thing here, look at the options You really use during the day.
I do find Air command a very useful function and personally I always keep it on. If you don’t use it, you know what to do by now.
Under Air view there are the following options to turn off if not used by you:
Information preview / Preview info, extend text, or enlarge pictures hovering over them
Icon Labels / View the labels of icon by hovering over them
List scrolling / Scroll up or down by holding the pen over the edge of the screen
Link preview / Hovering over a link will show you a preview of the page
Air menu / Hover the pen over the action or attach button to add content or contacts
Motions and gestures:
Again. Turn everything off that you are not using.
Direct call / By bringing the phone to your ear it will call the contact on the screen
Smart alert / Device will vibrate when you pick it up to notify you about missed calls and messages
Mute/pause / I don’t think this option will affect your battery life
Palm swipe to capture / I have no idea who thought this would be a good option to add. Turn it off if you agree.
Cloud:
I have rooted and installed ROMS and apps on many phones of friends. What seems odd to me is that most people have at least 3 cloud storage spaces were the automatically store all their pictures. Some them even had 4 or 5 without realizing.
1 Samsung account,
2 Picasa / google,
3 Dropbox.
One of these will do just fine. You can have more but just don’t let them auto-upload your camera pics. If every picture you take has to upload to 3 or more different cloud spaces, your device will be working more than it should have to.
Backup data:
Same story. Pick one. Stick to it. Don’t have 3 backup accounts.
Accessibility:
Vision and hearing / Turn off unless you need them
Dexterity and interaction :
• Assistant menu / Off
• Air wake up / Off
• Press and hold delay / 0.5 seconds
• Interaction control / Off
Direct access / Off
Answering / ending calls / Look at what suits you best. Picking up quickly will save battery over the phone ringing longer.
Powersaving:
Whats in a name ha? The powersaving mode can be adjusted which means you can get to saave power in the way you find most efficient.
The options are:
1 Restrict background data.
• This option limits the stuff you can do on your phone rather drastically. Dowloading content, viewing multi media and sending messages. Personally I never use this as this makes my phone just as useless as a phone with an empty battery 
2 Restrict performance, which has 4 sub options:
• 1 CPU performance / This machine has enough power to do pretty much everything with this option on except for some high performance games perhaps.
• 2 Screen output / Usefull to have turned on when in need of extra battery life.
• 3 Turn off touch key light / Usefull to do when needing power.
• 4 Turn of GPS / Which I already only turn on when needed.
3 Grayscale Mode
• This option doesn’t affect your performance but just makes you entire phone black and white. This grayscale mode saves a lot of power and you will still be able to do all the work stuff like browsing, mailing, texting, etc…
Ultra power saving mode:
In this mode your phone can last for several days but its use is very limited. You can browse the web, call and text but that’s pretty much it.
I think this would come in very handy if the end off the world has come, all power is gone, and you want to be the very last person to send a text 
Just kidding. If this is what gets you home on a few percent of power, it comes in very handy.
Look at the standby time when you turn it on. It’s amazing how long a phone can last in this mode.
Widget use:
Widgets can save or cost you power. There are very useful widgets that give you quick access to wifi, GPS, Bluetooth and other power saving stuff on your home screen. Besides easy access you will become more awre of the fact that you have a lot of stuff on that really doesn’t need to ben on at the moment.
Other widgets can cost you lots of power and data. This mainly depends on the amount of data the widget has to download and the refresh interval. For example: If you have a Facebook widget on one of your home screens that refreshes every 15 minutes, that means it will go and download new content from facebook every 15 minutes. This costs you data (when not on Wifi), but also battery life.
So look carefully at the widgets you use before installing them on your homescreens if you want your battery to last.
Launchers and home screens:
By organizing your favorite and most used applications you will be able to open them faster and so it will shorten your screen on time.
Personally, I think you should be able to open every app within 2 seconds. If you have many apps, and the only way to open them is scrolling to several pages of app drawer, your doing something wrong.
The beauty of Android is the fact that it is the most customizable system out there so use it! Combine widgets, apps, shortcuts, and folders until you have everything within reach.
When using TouchWizz launcher, it really helps to turn of Briefing on your home screen. This makes the phone slower and it costs battery life and data usage.
Many Samsung users have come to terms with the fact that TouchWizz will never be the best launcher out there (And that’s the understatement of the [email protected]&1ng century).
That’s why most heavy users will install a third party launcher as a home screen replacement. The one most used is probably Nova Launcher.
Playstore link:

Youtube tutorial:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO52dfFm40o
I have found after installing this launcher and setting it up, my battery life increased with 7-9% on a full days use. At this point I haven’t figured out if this is only because I navigate more efficiently, or that there are other reasons aswel.
The benefit of a third party launcher is more customization for your home screens and app drawer (such as making categories is the app drawer and such). But also to have gesture control, for example: Have apps open when swipning up or down, with one or multiple finger, double tap, home button and so on.
This gives you much easier and faster acces to your most used apps.
Other usefull apps for powersaving:
Tasker is an app that lets you automate tasks on your phone. For example letting your phone detect when you are at home, and automatically turn on wifi, turn of GPS and your lockscreen pattern.
Tasker does not have to let GPS run for these task and can also turn everything around when you leave home. The amount options on tasker is pretty much unlimited and these automated tasks can save a lot of power thus increasing battery-life .

Youtube tutorial(s):
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EzY9te12UI0&list=PLjV3HijScGMynGvjJrvNNd5Q9pPy255dL
Tasker is not an easy to use in 2 minutes app. It will take some time and effort to really get into it, but beside winning a lot of battery life, it will let you automate pretty much anything you can think of.
Rooted users:
For rooted users there are many more options to save power and increase battery life.
I am just going to mention a couple:
• Limiting your CPU frequency. Your note 4 has a surplus of power and you will never need it all unless you play high performance games. You can limit the frequency completely, or make profiles that change the frequency as your battery level decreases. Personally I use the app SetCPU to do this.
Playstore link:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mhuang.overclocking
• Freezing or uninstalling bloatware. A lot of stuff on your android phone you will never use. I always use Chrome as my browser so I won’t keep the original browser Samsung gave me on my phone. This goes for many apps. I use 2 applications to freeze and/or uninstall apps from my phone to free up memory, RAM and save battery life:
SD Maid (also limited functions for non rooted users)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=eu.thedarken.sdm
Titanium Backup (also the best backup app I have found sofar)
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keramidas.TitaniumBackup
Both these apps let you freeze and uninstall bloatware. Be carefull though! Do not just start deleting everything that doesn’t look familiar, or you will get in trouble.
Freeze apps first and see if ervything keeps working. Then make sure you do a Nandroid backup within TWRP or CWM recovery before definitely uninstalling apps.
There are several lists available on the web which show what can possibly be frozen and/or deleted. This is one I found quite useful:
http://www.reddit.com/r/galaxynote4/comments/2pgiib/the_ultimate_list_of_removablefreezable_bloatware/
Custom ROMs:
There are many custom ROMs that are more friendly for your battery then the stock firmware. However, if you are new to rooting and installing custom ROMS please be carefull and watch the tutorials before you start flashing away.
A good site to begin is:

Thanks man.
I have the CPU set on 1728 MHz without any lag or problems even with multitasking. Only when playing games I push it up to the max.
At this moment I use 2 ROMs:
Alliance V2.2: This one is most customizable and you'll keep all the touchwizz functions. (I do recommend a third party launcher like NOVA or Action Launcher 3 to get rid of the lag TW still has).
CM12 official: This is more friendly to your battery, but you'll have to install CM Spen addon and Note buddy or Spen control to get some Spen functions working. The latest nightlies hardly have any bugs (I haven't experienced any).

When pulling down your notifications, you'll see a slider and a checbox as you can see see in thee pic below. (It might look different becausse I'm running Alliancerom).
If the checkbox is ticked, you can adjust the slider for different levels of autobrightness. Without the checkbox ticked, you change the screen brightness directly.

I'm on stock and with Auto checked, it becomes unchecked when you adjust the slider. Thus, adjusting the slider only forces it into manual brightness.
Edit: and I'm on the n910a

Didn't know that. Did not spend much time on stock. Sorry....

Nothing like that happens on the snapdragon one. And i can bet it shouldn't happen on Exynos as well. This feature has been the same for years, and has worked very well; there is no reason to change it on any variant now.

My firmware is via ATT OTA, so it isn't messed up. I can't even flash anything since the n910a isn't rootable. The way my brightness slider is now is also how it was on Kitkat, and all ATT models are like mine.
It's just that when you mentioned the different auto brightness levels, I thought that maybe there was something I was overlooking in my settings. Apparently not, since your type of autobrightness was apparently adjusted by ATT.

My battery life on my note 4 is truly awful and I genuinely have no idea what's doing it, without fail it'll die like half way through the day when I only really use it for reddit and WhatsApp, I've heard by a lot of people that snapchat is really bad for battery. Whenever I look at these battery apps they never seem to tell me though, my screen on time is always atrocious and everyone else is getting like 6 hours, I use alxedandr rom btw, I also get lags here and there and I have no idea why can anyone help

Most people are having problems with Google Play services drain. It's causing poor battery life because it's stopping the phone from deep sleeping. Sign out of Google Play in the accounts page in settings, then reboot the phone and sign back in again. Uncheck all the items you don't want to sync for Google.

I'm on lollipop and did a cache wipe straight after installing AND uninstalled the Facebook app. I've got 40% remaining after 12.5 hours. Boc3 seems to be really stable.

If you are having problems with battery drain I suggest you go to settings>application manager>running and kill tasks from there.
I am getting exceptional battery life on my Exynos

just quickly, is there any way to like reset the battery life physically?
ie in the old days, we would often let the battery run flat out, and recharge fully and run flat out a couple times.
and it'll basically give you the best longest battery life after doing this.

I think I just discovered a fix after updating to 5.0, I am running stock just for the info, all I did was boot into recovery and wipe cashe partition about 3-4 times and that seemed to have worked very well battery life is back to normal. Can someone who has this problem confirm?

It was strangely very bad after I updated to stock 5.0, I would lose about 2% every 15min I mean very bad to the point that I was about to do a factory reset.

KK only
For those who cannot identify the battery drain source from the battery setting, disable your alarm clock. The stock alarm clock is causing a huge drain, and it hides itself in the Android System. Not even wake detector could detect it. I did a search, but couldn't find anyone talking about it. My SOT drops by an hour with the alarm clock on.

KT-SGS6 [Kernel] Builds [Discussion] [G92X] [TW 5.0] ★KTWEAKER SHOP★

ALL THANKS AND CREDITS GO TO THE ONE AND ONLY KTOONSEZ FOR HIS AWESOME KERNEL AND GIVING ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO PROVIDE THESE BUILDS.​
Welcome!
I am in no way affiliated with Ktoonsez or his work. I’m just a simple member of the XDA community who happens to be a huge supporter of this kernel and its creator. This is just my way of giving back. I am aware of some of the issues that may occur on specific kernel builds for some users as well as the difficulties faced when fine tuning the kernel and this is my response to that:
This is by no means intended to replace any of the original KT-SGS6 kernel threads. The purpose of this thread is simply to work in conjunction with them by providing a variety of builds for which users can experiment with and find which versions perform as intended on each of their respective device models. As on previous Samsung devices I am also bringing back the Ktweaker Shop filled with tons of pre-configured settings compiled by myself and others in attempt to further assist S6 and S6 EDGE users with improving their overall experiences on this device or to simply use as a baseline to work upon tweaking further. So I’ve gathered just about all of the current and previous kernel builds I had hidden within my pc as well as all the various Ktweaker settings and am sharing them with the public. I hope this makes a difference for all you guys. ENJOY!! :good:
POST #2: Reserved for UNIFIED {G92X} users
POST #3: Reserved for SPRINT users
POST #4: Reserved for the KTWEAKER SHOP
POST #5: Reserved for TEST PROFILES
If at any given time you aren't already on the kernel and Ktoonsez hasn't updated his links, there'll be no need to flash previous builds when you want to receive OTA's as ALL posts will be updated regularly upon future releases. So please be sure to refer back here for all builds from this point moving forward!
I will NOT be held liable for anything that may occur to your device nor will Ktoonsez. So please...
***FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK***​
If you encounter any suspicious issues when updating the kernel, follow my recommended procedure for the best possible results:
1) Backup current Ktweaker settings
2) Open any root browser (make sure it's mounted as r/w) then navigate to /system/app/ and delete the Ktweaker and KTmoniter apk's
3) Navigate to your sdcard and delete the Ktweaker folder OR rename it by adding a ".bak" extension without the quotes.
4) {Optional} Clear all Superuser logs
5) Reboot Recovery
6) Flash kernel
7) Reboot
8) Copy any saved profiles back into /sdcard/Ktweaker/Profiles/
9) Restore Ktweaker settings
10) Profit?
NOTE: If at any point Ktoonsez no longer wants this thread open it will be closed without question.

Welcome to the Ktweaker Shop!
Here you will find all of the pre-configured settings provided by myself and Ktoonsez. As a proud member of Team Kernelizers, I am offering a variety of profiles specifically for S6 and S6 EDGE users with their personal needs in mind as it's pretty clear not everyone favors the same governor, scheduler, etc.. Any suggestions are always welcome. All future profiles will be added here for sharing and discussion. Keep in mind that results will always vary per device regardless on the settings being used.
All profiles have been grouped into 3 sub-categories; "Conservative", "Balanced", and "Performance", which are used to classify each profile based on their role and what they are expected to deliver to your device. The 4th sub-group is where you can find some of our best "Projects" in which offers 2 or more profiles per project. Make your selections based on your usage needs and apply what works best for you and your phone. We're here to help eachother out and with more options comes better experiences for everyone running this kernel.
So shop around.. pick and choose.. load and go!!
Installation
Download links will include the specified profile(s) as well as an "Adjustments" and "About" file. The "Adjustments" file is just a simplified view of all the changes made to a profile compared to stock settings.
1. Download the file(s) to your phone.
2. Copy ONLY the XML(s) (DO NOT copy the "Adjustments" or "About" file) to "/sdcard/KTweaker/Profiles" using a file Manager of your choice.
3. Open the Ktweaker app and click on the "Profiles" setting at the top of the slider drawer OR scroll to the bottom and select "Profiles & Scripts" then click "Restore Profile from sdcard".
4. The file you just copied should be listed there. Select the one you want to apply and confirm.
5. Make sure the "Set options on boot" setting at the top of the slider drawer shows a little green boot icon below it, indicating the settings will be applied upon reboot.
6. Profit!
IMPORTANT: Be sure to ALWAYS load your stock voltage table on BOTH CPU clusters IMMEDIATELY after applying a profile as most of these are based on an ASV10 CPU and may result in reboots!!!
1) Apply the profile
2) Quickly go to the CPU voltage for cluster 0 and click "more" and load default voltages, then click apply.
3) NOW go to the CPU voltage for cluster 1 and click "more" and load default voltages, then click apply.
4) Done!
​
Conservative​
Asking Alexandria
This is a battery driven profile in which focuses on saving as much juice as possible while also maintaining stability and providing an extremely snappy feel to your phone. It is quite possibly one of the smoothest and snappiest battery saving profiles available.
Why Asking Alexandria?
It's named after yet another one of my top favorite metalcore bands and I chose this because Alexander The Great basically ruled the world at one point and "Alexandria" is the female equivalent to that name, which has become known to mean the "one who comes to save warriors".
"Asking" was an addition to the title name as an indication in the sense that we are all asking Alexandria what she can really do to our phone.
Coming soon....
Bless The Child
Based on Ktoonservateq and aimed towards battery. This is specifically for all the battery hungry users out there wanting to conserve as much power as possible. So don't expect the BEST but rather decent performance out of this one.
coming soon...
Dead By April
This profile attempts to bring some of the best battery life possible to your device. It is similar to Bless The Child but takes things a step further with it's heavy underclocking as well as it's higher thresholds and online blocks to prevent other cores from coming online too soon. Although It focuses very little on performance it manages to maintain a fairly smooth interface for your average daily use.
https://copy.com/oFLHg4ZG2MyvRzrq
Balanced​
Balanced Bull v1
These settings are very special to me as they were my very first, dating back to the Galaxy S3, and is a profile designed for my own personal usage pattern. It has become notable for it's fairly smooth interface and amazing battery life. If this stacks up to your standards then I encourage you to use it!
https://copy.com/SKdHYHskn1NgLitp
ECLIPSE
This is a performance oriented option where great battery life is also expected to intervene. This not only will bring an incredibly stable, smooth, and snappy feel to your device but will also benefit towards longer lasting battery so you can love and enjoy your phone the way you were meant to.
coming soon
Ktoonsified v1
These settings are my settings, This is a performance oriented option in which also offers a great deal of battery life. YOU WILL NEED TO LOAD YOUR STOCK VOLTAGE TABLE THOUGH since there are 16 different bins of CPUs!!!

Ktoonsified {MOD}
This mod is intended to work as an alternative to the original Ktoonsified profile. It's specifically for the users experiencing issues such as screen wake and incoming call delays and media stutters on Ktoonsified v1 . Use this profile to repair most if not all of these issues.
NOTE: The adjustments text file will show you the few changes I've made from the original Ktoonsified profile.
https://copy.com/2bcvnievx8suWohD
SmoothManic v1
This profile was put together by none other than the BOSS himself, @ktoonsez!
The idea with this is to get the CPU really high on 2 cores when screen is touched and then bring them both back down really quick so UI is super smooth but don't kill the battery by hanging out at that high Mhz step.

Undisputed
This is a universal performance setup in which combines the essential elements of other profiles by providing equal battery life, speed, performance, and stability to bring the ultimate experience to your device.
coming soon
Performance​
Feed The Machine
The exact opposite of Bless the Child. This is a performance oriented option for all hardcore users. If battery isn't a priority for you then this is a great option.
coming soon
From Ashes To New
This is a straight performance profile. It's similar to Feed The Machine and Rebirthing in the sense that it syncs the cores to the boosted frequency on touch and almost instantaneously jumps right back down to 300MHz. The difference between the profiles is that this one makes better use of all the cores. However, due to the rapid scale down I think most people will find battery life to be surprisingly good for this type of profile
coming soon
KTGaming v1
This profile was put together by none other than the BOSS himself, @ktoonsez! This is a super performance oriented option which allows me to play any game with ZERO LAG!!!!!!!

SmoothGaming v1
This profile is based on SmoothManiac v1 but with performance enhancenents to provide a much smoother gaming experience while hotplugging is active. Some of these enhancements include a much higher sampling interval as well as offline blocks to allow frequencies to scale and hotplug at a more reasonable pace.
NOTE: The adjustments file will show you the changes I've made to SmoothManiac v1.

Projects​
Comatose
This project was inspired by the album of the same name by my #1 favorite rock band of all time, Skillet. It consists of 3 profiles of which are also named after 3 of my favorite tracks from this album (included in the "Extras" folder) and all focus on one key element; VARIETY.
As the name suggests, "Comatose" is geared towards battery conservation. It focuses on keeping CPU low for a prolonged period but utilizes 3 of the 4 cores on touch and the 4th on demand for fluidity. Sample rates have been decreased heavily as to increase polling and allow the other cores to quickly spike towards higher frequencies for a given task then immediately drop back down as if the component had been knocked unconscious.
The second profile is "Rebirthing". This profile will counteract the affects of Comatose by heavily boosting performance as a means to bring life and energy back into this profile that remains unconscious. Rebirthing is intended for those seeking a performance-based version of Comatose but who knows... For such a power hungry profile you may just be surprised by the great battery life it also delivers.
Some of you may not favor the heavy battery conservation that "Comatose" offers or the overall power consumption of "Rebirthing" and much prefer a mashup of elements delivered between the 2 and that is the purpose of "Whispers In the Dark". This profile is directed towards finding the right balance between these 2 profiles while still acting as a it's own profile. It utilizes most of the performance aspects from "Rebirthing" Like "Comatose" it uses a fairly high up_threshold for that extra boost in battery performance. The profile also idles at the same minimum cpu as "Comatose" but ALL profiles run at stock 2457Mhz.
All profiles maintain the same concept of rapid cpu polling. So yes, cpu will be working consistently but my theory here is that more polling will allow the kernel to rapidly check CPU usage, thus allowing CPU to change more frequently according to the load, which in turn will prevent persistent pegging of even higher frequencies and instead consume various amounts of power in various scenarios depending on your usage, consuming even less when a specific task has completed and immediately dropping the load.
This also applies to screen off states but that goes back to what was explained in this post regarding high vs low sampling rates and how they can greatly increase idle times depending on your screen off max.
coming soon
If you'd like to contribute to the Ktweaker Shop all you need to do is post the profile you'd like to share and include a brief description of it's purpose. It will then be tested thoroughly by the community and based on feedback will be submitted here in the Shop for approval and sent out to the dev so he can add the profile to the Shop in Ktweaker!

Profiles require a lot of testing before final release. They are put through a number of performance and battery life phases under various scenarios to ensure each respective profile meets the task at hand and provide the best possible results to the user. I've already released 3 profiles in the last 8 days if you didn't already know and am currently working on/testing the 4th. So please be patient. I'm working as fast as I possibly can to release all the profiles to you guys but like most people, I don't have all the time in the world.. I wish I did.

I've already released 3 profiles in the last 8 days if you didn't already know and am currently working on/testing the 4th. So please be patient. I'm working as fast as I possibly can to release all the profiles to you guys but like most people, I don't have all the time in the world.. I wish I did.

+1 Bro I wish I did to lol. I am in no rush at all. I am sure you don't need me telling you this, but take your time bro!!!! I think you are doing a great job. I also appreciate all the help in the twisted thread to!! I have a few questions for you. I have noticed in the couple shops I can not find the kernel default button anymore, as I am guessing he removed it. How do I get the kernel back to default again? I have also noticed a stock profile and was wondering if that was the kernel default? Or should I just reflash the kernel again to get back to default lol? I do appreciate it, thanks a bunch!!!

you say "ALWAYS load your stock voltage tables on BOTH CPU clusters IMMEDIATELY after applying a profile as most of these are based on an ASV10 CPU and may result in reboots!!!"
I don´t know how to do it

1) Apply the profile
2) Quickly go to the CPU voltage for cluster 0 and click "more" and load default voltages, then click apply.
3) NOW go to the CPU voltage for cluster 1 and click "more" and load default voltages, then click apply.
4) Done!

I'm getting a lot of cell standby draining my battery
Went from 71% at 10:30pm to 63% at 4am
It was deep sleeping and I was on ktoonsified MOD profile

Is this the only profile you've experienced the heavy drain on? Have you checked to see if any useless apps and/or services were keeping the phone awake longer than usual?

I don't know about other profiles
And yes, I had GSAM to check if I had any useless **** draining my battery, but none
Then I checked the settings app to see cell standby taking the highest toll on my battery
I had CPU Spy and saw that it was deep sleeping also

Ok but how well did it sleep exactly? Sounds more like you have a number of alarms waking up your phone, more often than necessary. Some BBS stats would definitely help.
but do also try other profiles, maybe SmoothManiac to start and see if you notice any improvements in battery life.
