Yes, as i said in the guide "more wi-fi usage means less battery life". So you should make a decision whether "using all your apps/phone functions all the time" or "having a poor battery life". In my method, i don't leave wi-fi on when the screen is off. And i receive/send messages with phone's native message app, not with WhatsApp. So when i need communicate on WhatsApp, i just enable wi-fi and then launch WhatsApp. :) It is your decision. If you use WhatsApp as your default messaging app, then keeping wi-fi on while screen is off is important for you.

As i stated in the guide, keeping Wi-Fi, Mobile Data, GPS and Sync off is an important point to get a better battery life. So, if you want to keep your wi-fi always on because of some of your apps, then i can't promise you 4-5+ h SOT. But, there are some apps that schedule the wi-fi connection while screen is off, i can suggest you one of that apps.

Anyways, my WIFI was switched off during all the night, so it's strange that it's reported as wasting battery. It could be some problem with the rom not switching the WIFI off completely?

No, there isn't any problem with the ROM. I am on @Albe95's this LolliROM at the moment and everything is working flawless so for. I got the "1 day 26 min standby time - 6 h 5 min Screen On Time" on this ROM. Albe95's S6 Port ROM was also working very fast, smooth, just it had some "minor" bugs/glitches and they are not considerable bugs. Albe95 is aware of them and i think he will fix them in next releases.

BTW, just disabling wi-fi from wi-fi toggle is not enough to keep wi-fi switched off. In wi-fi advanced settings, you should also choose "Never" in "Keep Wi-Fi on during sleep" option; and untick the "Always allow scanning" option. If these options are already ok, then maybe an app uses your wi-fi in background and it keeps wi-fi enabled.

@lawyer_06 can I ask your opinion about which rom (Albe S6Port or Albe LolliRom) You would choose for battery life and why?

I would guess that S6 Port is better because it have less bloatware. At the same time it uses S6 apps which could ''eat'' more battery. For now I'm on LolliRom, because of some bugs on S6 Port.

I would guess that S6 Port is better because it have less bloatware. At the same time it uses S6 apps which could ''eat'' more battery. For now I'm on LolliRom, because of some bugs on S6 Port.

Albe's S6 Port ROM is mainly based on S6 system/apps and some framework arrangements. But, LolliROM is based on Stock S4 Lollipop with some S6 and Note4 features. As i observed and experienced, i can say that S6 Port ROM is a bit faster and snappier than LolliROM. I used both of them and i think the battery consumption was a bit higher on S6 Port. And i think the reason was S6 Port ROM's Android System uses more battery and CPU to be faster. And because of this feature, Android System is on the top of the list and comes before Screen, on the battery consumption chart/stats. But, it is not a big difference. I got "14 h standby time - 6 h 25 min SOT" on S6 Port and i got "1 day 26 min standby time - 6 h 5 min SOT" on LolliROM. Almost same results.

So it depends on your taste, choices and expectations from a Rom when you want to choose which one you would use. And the battery consumption depends on your phone usage, the way how you arranged your phone and the apps you are using on your phone. I am on this ROM at the moment..

I prefer this rom over the s6 port rom. This rom is way more stable than s6 port, some apps on s6 port are still buggy and laggy due to 32 bit incompatibility. So, my preference is this rom, i manage to still get 3 hours and half with this rom. So stable. No fc. No lags with the power of imperium v2.0 of course.

i cant find this battery any where in the uk!??

please help as id like amazing battery like you!


Yeah as i said before, it is not a stock, original Samsung battery, it is a 3rd party battery, but again as i said it is a 2600 mAH battery as Samsung S4 stock battery.

Its name is "Deji Battery". After i made some research on internet, i found this battery and i bought it. There is also a dedicated thread on Xda about a member's battery tests from different battery brands, including this battery. It is an old thread, but if you search as "Deji Battery" on Xda, you will find some results..

What do you mean by the statement "he can't have used phone in normal way". If you mean playing hard games on phone, yes i don't play hard games on my phone, but i play light games. But except playing hard games, i do everything on my phone, that could be done with a phone: Surfing a lot on internet, on Tapatalk, using Whatsapp, listening to music on YouTube, messaging, making calls, receiving calls. I.e. what can be done with a phone, i do everything. Even, once the YouTube was open for 2 hours without break, i also reached 5 hours SOT.

BUT; if you mean making toasts with phone!? No, i don't! Or frying potato?! No, i don't! I don't do such those "hard" things with my phone! And lots of members knows me on Xda Forums, my all works/claims are trusted and tested. I don't like fake and fraudulent works! And i don't do!

BTW, i am not the only one who reaches 5-6 h SOT. Some other members (one of them is @tuk1maar) also get this SOT. As i said in my previous post, if your battery is new, if you follow the correct steps, if you apply the correct methods and if you care about getting such a good SOT, it is POSSIBLE to get 5-6 h SOT.

Hey guys a question about sview. When I'm making a call or receiving, I have trouble answering or ending the call due to the "reject this call with a msg" toolbar. Also while I'm talking quite often it will mute itself if my ear accidentally touches it. Is there a way to get the normal s4 sview call screen within the sview? Sorry if this sounds confusion

Sorry, but i can't help you in this subject, because if i am not wrong that battery is a product of China, i.e. it comes from China. So, if it is not being sold somewhere in your country, you should research and buy it from internet.

BTW, i think if you apply the correct methods, a new stock battery can also give you a "satisfying" battery life. And there are some other battery brands for S4 and i think they are being sold in UK, you can also consider them. For example "Anker Battery" and "Zero Lemon". These brands also have extended battery models. You can consider buying one of them if you want an exceeding battery life.

    F.A.Q. post

    F.A.Q. post (all the questions and all the answers)

    Q. I can't get WiFi working. How to fix?
    A. There are 2 possible solution:
    Number 1: Install HPA1 Modem via ODIN by following first post procedure
    Number 2: Install a custom Kernel like Imperium one
    If you've a different Variant (M919, etc ...) you can't flash i9505 Modem, so only way is to flash a custom kernel.


    Q. I have I9515 Variant, Can I install this rom?
    A. Yes but you to need to flash this I9515 custom kernel, after you've flashed the rom.

    Q. I can't access anymore to Menu function. Where is it finish?
    A. Long press of Menu button (left button) et voilà...menu will come out.

    Q. I can't edit apps on Toolbox. There's a way to fix?
    A. Give a look HERE

    Q. My Back button is not working. How can I fix?
    A. Flash THIS particular version of Imperium Kernel.

    Q. I've problem with Google Account sync and it FC in some menu. What to do?
    A. It's a Google problem. Read HERE.

    Q. Some apps that I used every time that I reboot it loose the accessibility access. What can I do?
    A. This is a Lollipop bug by Samsung. Give a look here for fixing it (thanks to @BuLLeT_93 for found the fix).
    You can also freeze GlanceViewMK with Titanium to fix that.


    Q. Can I flash this rom without wipe?
    A. If you came from another rom nope. If you came from a my previous rom, as always, you could not make the wipe data but I always suggest it

    Q. Can you add X mod/apps to next release?
    A. Probably nope. Not to be a bad dev but all that I want, I've already added to my rom, and I want to keep more Samsung style as possible (you'll never found in my rom any 3minitbattery, center clock in status bar, f*cking xposed by default or mod like that). If a user want to post him work about this I've nothing against it, I'll add to second post ;)

    Q. Home button is a bit slow. Is there a fix?
    A. Be sure to have disabled S voice from double tap of home button in S voice settings.

    Q. Where is finished old app called "Download"?
    A. In My files under voice download history

    Q. Is Ultra power save integrated?
    A. Yep it's fully working. Only problem is that when you try to open the settings from long press of menu button the Emergency home will crash. You can access to settings from swipe down Statusbar --> Settings icons

    Q. Are smart function (air view,smart pause...) still here?
    A. Yes this time I didn't remove them.

    Q. I love your work and love your Rom. How can I help you to continue in your developing things?
    A. You can do 3 things ;) 1 Put thanks to my first post, 2 Give 5 start to this thread and 3 make a donation! ;)

    Q. How can I make you a donation?
    A. Follow the link in my signature or the "Donate button" under my profile pic.
