[tips and tricks] performance and battery life for android kitkat 4.4.2

As we know we have android kitkat which is one of the best os version for our phone.
by following twicks and trick this we can make it more fluent and responsive i think it will be more helpfull those facing perormance and battery problem
1) ART (ANDROID RUN TIME):

THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST EFFECTIVE WAY TO boost u r phone performance
for me my quadrant score is 3500 with art
>no lag(0 lag)
>faster opening of apps
>more touch response

drawbacks :
>as we change runtime to dalvik to art some apps may crash or may not work specifically Google gapps

solution :
there not complete solution but i go this way all is well till now
art compatible gapps http://d-h.st/hSL

art compatible android app list
http://www.androidruntime.com/list
note: art is not compatible to xposed framework so u have to uninstall xposed

2) unistall xposed :
when you go for customization u prefer xposed framework i had done same thing but when I unistalled all xposed apps and framework phone was super smooth

3) use greenify
this is root app which hibernate all installed apps except system apps so when there is no use of app it gets hibernated so no baground runup of apps so no ram compsution and no battery drain
u will get it on playstore

4) debolting of rom:


debolting of rom will space freeup all u r system and make it faster
remove only application that are safe to remove list is as below

to remove app just go to any root browser >system >apps and priv-app folder>delete unnecessary app

5) overclock u r Rom with battery efficient kernel:
As our great developer made cpu gpu oc/uv kernels we can use them for overclocking of rom which definaltely boost performance
this is oc kernel for resurrection remix 4.4 rom kernel but it may work on all roms as i personally used it for cm11 maclaw, beanstalk 4.4 roms except aicp rom by vikasayu where i got boot loop

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407591111( thanx t4n017)

this kernel great so far in terms of performance and battery life

remember oc is not working on all phone

to tweak cpu speed u can use these apps
> nofrills cpu control ( play store)
> set cpu(play store)

go to app and set max cpu 1250 and min 200
or as per u r wish where u got performance

to tweak gpu u can use this app just flash it via cwm recovary
>novathor settings app
http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23329332407587599 ( thanx t4n017)

go to gpu > set mali low load clockspeed and high load speed to max l.e 680 mhz
so u r gpu will work at full speed

or disable auto boost and set static frequency to 680 mz

Note: more than 680 mhz may cause freezing lagging and screen tearing




6) system tweaks
in cynogenmod there are number of tweaks
1) go to system >performance >enable purging of assets
2)go to system >performance >enable kernel same page merging
3) go to system >development >enable 2d drawing

7) AVOID:

1) don't use any ram booster app
2) don't use any system cleaner
3) don't use any app killer
because u r kitkat don't need this any more

BATTERY TWEAKS:
battery is major problem of cynogenmod 11 (kitkat) it's default thing because these roms are meant for performance so its affect battery than stock roms
but we can reduce heavy battery drainage nd u r phone will withstand 18-20hr

1) odex u r rom

as all stock rom are odexed so they gives performance battery life with less customization
but u can odex ur deodexed cm 11 rom by this script


http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2527268

download script
go to recocery
install it
reboot phone
go to terminal eluminator
type su>enter>type odex sysapp(odex system app) or frame (odex framework) or all (odex both)

2) use greenify

3) change u r runtime to art

4)debolt u rom

5) go to system>performance >set processor abyssplug max freq:800 min freq: 200 and io schelduler to sio

i personally uses oc kernek with max 1150 min 200/ ondemand/ sioplus but i undervolted the rom

6) undervolt u r rom:

if u r using oc/uv kernel then by using novathorseetinga app u can undervolt kernel and save u r battery

go to novathor settings app > go to cpu> go to cpu voltages and set cpu undervolt as per wish but i personally uses
-25 mv

note: very high undervolting or overvolting may reboots u r phone

7) deep sleep state:

deep sleep state of phone is that when u r phone is in standby mode u.e u r not using it screen is off it goes to sleep but some process are working which cause battery drain u can change that setting

>go to novathor setting app > go to power> set deep sleep to 4

OR
USE galaxy s advance setting app> go to deep sleep stateand set it at 4

at 4 u r phone goes to high deep sleep state so no more battery drain in sleep

note: dont go for deep sleep state 5 phone may be unresponsive u have to reboot it

8) screen filter:

>this is a app on play store which deems brightness of screen backlight which helps us to protects our eyes and again on amoled screen reduces battery drain too
> personally used and voila very effective
> u can easily control filter in status bar as it has stausbar notificaton when u are outdoor just increse its percentage and when u are indoore just reduceit manually as per u r wish where u got best result
>download it at play store

once again if u have more suggestions then plz mention here so we have best set up our beloved sgs advance for
performance and battery life

Good job bro, keep posting "nice" "cool" and things like that. You'll reach the 10 limit posts soon!! :good:

Yes, I was being sarcastic.

App killers, cache cleaners and ram boosters have been obsolete since at least froyo where android "learned" how to take care for itself. It's only got better since then.

OK, thanks!
Now I try it!!

Edit: I've installed last versione, but I don't look for CPU undervolt!!
This is a screen

Go to last option advance>cpu voltage >there u will find undervolting option
