I know it's not my signal. I live across the street from my school and we have a 4g cell tower in the science building

I have it similar to slumberer setting.
Whitelisted some apps I don't want stopped like Ktweaker etc..


I'm with this. I'm on clean ROM, stock battery, with these settings. I'm lucky to get 16 hours with 3 hours screen time. I just use my phone though. No toggling data, etc. I'm always on the go so signal is switching, etc. Never have WiFi available.

Post a screen shot of your end of the day battery stats with screens of your partial wake locks and kernel wake locks in BBS.
Can't really help without a bit more info. :confused:

Re: [Team Kernelizers][How To] Updated 02-23-13 KT747 Kernel Tweaks

Still don't know how you guys are pushing 2 full days. I am on pegasusq and bfq and hit about 16 hours with almost 3 hour screen time. Are you guys on touchwiz or something?

I've got my location services off, data sync off, and my radios are of until I need them. Radio control is critical for going two days, also if those 3 hours are spent playing games or doing cpu intensive things or downloading stuff that's going to effect it also.

My only partial wake lock is usually Audio out_2. Which is when I get texts or play music. Usually is only minutes, a few at most. Signal is usually strong too. I have 4g at home and Verizon repeaters where I work. I just installed lux, we'll see if that helps. I know when my screen is on the battery drops like an anchor. LOL. But I will go a charge and report back. Thanks.

I would also like to see a gaming setup, as I've been trying to find one that suits my needs. Any input would be appreciated.

Those are pretty good numbers. And it's about what I've been doing without turning off radios with light usage and I'm on CarbonRom 1.4 AOSP. Not all screen on time is equal. Constant interaction, games, and videos will all use more power.

You'll only get so much out of a CPU governor and i/o scheduler. It all really depends on how you use the phone and what you want it to do. From my experience you'll have to give up something to go further. That could be turning off radios and sync and forgoing notifications and updates. I've found that radios make a significant difference, but you need to decide as to whether that's something you can live with or not. Of course, phone signal is also a biggy that you can't control too much.

DS Battery Saver is a good tool, but the free version will only wake up your phone as much as once every 30 minutes. So again, you'll need to give something up. The pay version has options to wake up the phone more often. I saw a fair improvement just using the "Gentle" setting.

I'd also recommend he Greenify app. It's free and will remove selected programs from active RAM which might save a bit of juice if you can forgo push notifications from those apps. I'd use it selectively.

Re: [Team Kernelizers][How To] Updated 02-23-13 KT747 Kernel Tweaks

Okay so Team Kernelizers now has a place to download the KTweaker backups. This should reduce the number of questions about where the latest tweaks are. All you have to do is download them to your KTweaker folder and in the KTweaker app use the restore feature! Every team member has a folder so you can see all of them all that is in mine is the latest Pegasusq/Zen tweaks from the op. I will have more when I am released from this prison people like to call "work"

PM. :)

Also note guys, for Ktoonservative, we need to reference whether its AOSP or TW. Restore will not work if you try to apply AOSP Ktoonservative adjustments on a TW ROM due to the additional two adjustments AOSP offers.

I'll modify the readme.txt file with this info and move to main folder.

    Kernel Information​
    General Installation Instructions (for both TW and AOSP):​
    1. Download correct version of kernel for your device and rom. This is important as you may brick your phone is you use the wrong version.
    2. Flash kernel using your preferred recovery
    3. Do the following AFTER installing the kernel and BEFORE you reboot your phone:
    a. Clear cache
    b. Clear dalvik
    c. Fix Permissions
    4. Reboot your device.
    TW Specific Kernel Instructions:
    (can be used with AOSP too)
    There are some files on your TouchWiz phone that need to be renamed in order to maximize the battery life of your phone. There has been some debate on whether or not this is necessary, but for now we would recommend renaming these files to ensure that there is no chance of excessive battery drain.

    Part 1:

    These steps are only necessary on TouchWiz ROMs, however you can also do this on AOSP as well:
    1. You must have ROOT. You will need to have a root enabled file explorer on your phone (ES File Explorer works very well and you can get it from the play store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en). When you get it, open it up and go the the settings and scroll all the way down until you see the Root Settings. Go in there and enable ALL of the root settings.
    2. After that is done, navigate to your root folders using the Folder Up icon at the top. Once you are in your root folders, navigate to /system/bin and locate the following files. You will need to rename them with a ".bak" at the end of the filename
    gsiff_daemon --> gsiff_daemon.bak
    mpdecision --> mpdecison.bak
    qosmgr --> qosmgr.bak
    smd --> smd.bak
    smdexe --> smdexe.bak
    Renaming these files will not harm your phone. Many users rename these files every time they flash a rom, and no damge is done.
    Also, some ROMs come with these files renamed or deleted entirely, so if you don’t find a file, don’t be alarmed.
    You have to do this every time you flash the ROM and/or Kernel.
    If you feel uncomfortable doing this yourself, you can use the TK-MOD (see Downloads section) and it will handle this for you.


    Part 2:

    Stopping mpdecision from being called:
    1. Open terminal emulator and type the following code:
    su
    2. When terminal emulator asks for root permission hit 'Grant' or 'Allow'.
    3. At the # prompt type:
    stop mpdecision
    Using Rom Toolbox (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jrummy.liberty.toolbox) we will make a script that will stop mpdecision from being called at each boot so you don't need to use terminal emulator each time
    1. Open Rom Toolbox and scroll down to the Scripter option
    2. In the scripter, click the “+” button in the top right corner, then select 'Create'
    3. Type a name for our new script, lets call it “stop mpdecision”
    4. In the commands enter the following text:
    #!/system/bin/sh
    stop mpdecision
    5. Hit the disk icon to save it
    6. Select the script that you just created and a dialog box should pop up, select set at boot
    Were done here

    AOSP Specific Kernel Instructions:
    When coming from a 3.0 Kernel to a 3.4 Kernel there is a new method with kernel updates. Skipping these steps will cause phone instability, due to some bad data left behind. This is a flaw in the Android OS, not the application. You must follow the instructions below (Thanks ktoonzs for the new method of the ktweaker app)
    1. Go to Settings on the phone
    2. Go to app manager then all apps
    3. Scroll down to ktweaker app n open it
    4. Once open hit FORCE STOP and then hit CLEAR DATA
    5. Reboot and flash your new update of ktoonzs kernel
    6. Repeat steps 1-4 in the above “General Installation” section
    You should be good to go after that
