What is this?
This is an app, written by me that configures the CPU governor and some other things to save a lot of battery, while have the system as fluid as possible. (Less lag and better battery than factory settings)
I also made some configurations available for the user.
How to get it?
  1. You can install the app from Play Store - Redmi Note 2 Tool
  2. Start it, and give it root permissions. Without root permissions the app will refuse to do anything!
  3. You can use the values given by me, or change them. Either way you need to tick "Set On Boot" in the menu, and press "Save&Apply".
  4. You need to enable Autostart for the app in MIUI security center.

Battery stats are in the next post.

Latest standard version.
11.5H without charging, WI-FI always connected, 6H screen-on, 1.5H gaming, the rest is FB, 9GAG, Messenger and browsing.

I have to say that the Android battery stats are also very inaccurate, the most battery was used by Jurassic World and Angry Birds (each about 15-25%).
Also remember, this is the standard version, No Touchboost has even bettery battery life!

As you may know, I have a thread about a modified ramdisk kernel to save battery, but I don't want to release 3+ versions with a new kernel every week, so here is a solution which doesn't require flashing, and can survive OTA updates, etc.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse

I have tried update 2, flashed kernel v2 and I'm stuck in a bootloop. currently running hermes 22/10 version global unofficial :)

just giving a feedback

    You can uninstall Automate.
    You don't have to lock this into memory, it doesn't need to run always. Just once to set the values.
    If you don't get an error message, then everything should be fine. I'll implement some double-checks later.
    If you set touchboost to 806MHz, and first it goes to 1183MHz for a few seconds, then the touch you did on the app resulted in some code running the made the freq ramp up.

    Anyway there was a bug with TB frequency setting, 1.3 will fix it, it will available in the store soon.

    OK, here is a beta version. You can stop the flows in Automate, install this app, tick set on boot in menu, press Save, and enable the Autostart (and Root) in MIUI security, and you are good to go.

    If there won't be issues, I will upload it to Play soon.
