Hi all,
What are your most successful battery saving tips that you have applied so far. I would like to save as much battery as possible without compromising the phones great features. Also after enabling the developer options what changes would or have you made to enhance the user experience of your phone?
I have also included the developer options as well

We all know that the ace has very limited RAM, which causes a lot of performance problems especially in jelly bean. I was getting around 50-60 MB on our CM10 jellaxy release with nearly no apps installed. Apart from using swap, I thought the next best solution was to limit background processes and I did notice that performance improved somewhat.
So I have 2 questions -
Do you guys think it improves performance or could it actually be detrimental to performance?
What about project butter? I tried searching the jellaxy thread and couldn't find out anything. I notice that the interface is smooth enough, but certain apps freeze or stop responding, probably due to the RAM problem. So is project butter integrated into our jb roms?
Thanks!
Offcourse, project butter is integrated into android source. If you want better performance, delete uselless apps that run in background and eat memory. Disable all transitions and animations in settings, enable KSM and disable surface dithering.

Thanks! How does disabling animations improve performance?
i think turning "off" the animation for the User Interface or in our desktop sure lessen the process of our ACE.,
BTW.,i dont know how to auto kill the google play store because everytime i turn off my phone to charge and then when done and turn it "on" again i look inside advanced task manager its always "on" process..
i would really appreciate any help..:angel:
Heya guys
coming from the S2 and S3, i've been spoilt for choices with multiple kernels which offer multiple tweaks and improved battery life.
since there aren't any kernels, how would i go about doing simple stuff like enabling different governors or disabling android logging ?
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.
Hi.
I am hearing different opinions on this.
Would appreciate your personal input.
Thanks!
Bro,thats simple...
Better battery= less performance
More performance = less battery
Hard to understand?No.

The stock is always superior. By stock I mean a Touchwiz based one. Those S8 ports are cool, but they are unstable and sometimes buggy. Some features are awesome like the AOD but with a modified kernel Magisk can't be hidden so say goodbye to Snapchat or Pokemon GO.
I have my own version with many hidden features enabled, Magisk can be hidden and won't do random reboots or deplete the battery. A slightly modified stock is the best.
I agree with "cachanilla86' that best ROMs are based on stock ones. Best stability and compatibility with hardware - especially for Note series.
But disagree that there are problems with Snapchat and Pokemon GO. I have KHONGLOI ROM v11 with root and Magisk 13. Everything working great.
When its about your question I think its more related to KERNEL rather than ROM itself. Kernel is responsible for voltage and CPU performance settings.
And of course naddour-home has good point here
I just wanted to make a quick rundown of things I do to phones, even if they have a large battery.
- Go into app info, then battery, then enabled "Background Restriction" for apps that don't need to have fast notifications. I do this for apps like XDA, Feedly, Amazon etc. Given enough time Adaptive battery will do this for you, but I go in manually for any new apps or ones that I still might use frequently. (UnRooted)
- Download Naptime and enable aggressive doze. Also play around with the experimental features. I disabled location when Doze mode is enabled. (UnRooted)
- Download Servicely from the same dev. I disabled apps when my screen turns off and whitelist phone, messaging apps and other high importance apps. (Root)
- Use Tasker to automate Battery Saver Mode when your screen turns off and disable it when the screen comes back on. Naptime can also do this in the experimental settings, but I use Tasker to trigger it based on conditions like battery percentage, etc. (UnRooted)
- Install the Universal GMS Doze in Magisk. Combining this with Naptime really helps for standby. (Root)
- Install AdAway from F-Droid. This is a small thing, but less data use for pulling ads means better battery. It's a stretch, but the other benefits are no more ads! (Root)
This is what I've got done so far. Once custom kernels are released I'm going to use the Franco kernel app to make per app customizations to underclock the CPU and GPU for apps like Messages and other lite apps to really squeeze more battery.
With these optimizations I can easily make a full day. I haven't gotten a solid SOT number yet as I change in my car through Android Auto most days, but I really want to test a day completely off a charger to see what it's like.
Again, these are things I do on even large phones like the OnePlus 7 Pro and it's almost doubled my battery life on phones. Plus, these are set and forgot things and should only require a little bit of setup.
I hope this helps yall eek out some more battery out of our awesome devices! I can start to use the phone without worrying about battery anxiety.
Or you can just enable battery saving, and don't optimize apps you really need.
That's true, and I have it enable when the screens off. I'm not sure is restricting background use AND battery saver are doubling up and helping save more battery, but I want the option to have a light theme, so restricting battery for apps gives me that option
