Enlarge your battery life : an attempt to fix the battery drain (from DarkAdrien)

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=937080

Having an abnormal battery drain on our phone is really frustrating, and finally prevents us from using it normally. Smartphones have a short battery life in general. Do not expect a two weeks-battery life like your old fashioned monochrome Nokia had… But with finding out what’s eating up your battery, and fixing it, you should be able to use your device for about 35-48 hours with ‘normal’ use. This guide will consider you own a Desire HD (even if some advices may be applicable to many other android phones), with a Rom based –at least- on a 1.72.xxx Rom (this base is known for greatly improving battery life over 1.32.xxx based-Roms).

Note to the admins : maybe not in the right section, but questions about this topic often arise in this section... Feel free to move...

It's a bit long and formal, but I tried to be as precise as I could.


1. Evaluating the battery drain
1.1- Setting up CurrentWidget
1.2- Calibrating the battery
1.3- Monitoring your battery behaviour
2. Finding what is causing the battery drain
3. Fixing the battery drain
3.1- Processes heavy on CPU, GPS, Sensors
3.2- Processes preventing ‘deep sleeping’
3.3- Taskillers
3.4- Radios
4. Battery still draining insanely fast : what to do now ?
5. General tips

1. Evaluating the battery drain

Battery life length is mainly something subjective. You can not compare your battery life to someone else’s, even not with your previous battery cycle. It all comes down to how you use your phone : some activities are known to be real battery hogs (like navigation, watching a movie, recording an HD-clip) and will remain whatever you will do. To eliminate the subjective ‘part’ of our process, we need to measure if you are suffering from an unusual battery drain.​

1.1- Setting up CurrentWidget

First, we need to have a measure tool. CurrentWidget will be perfect. Download it and install it off the market. Add the widget to your desktop, and when prompted to configure the widget, tick ‘log file’, you can leave the ‘Update Interval ‘ at 60 seconds.

You end up with a widget that displays the current current (…) in mA (milliampere). Basically, this is the battery flow, measured each minute. More importantly, CurrentWidget generates the file ‘sdcard\currentwidget.log’ which contains the raw measures, with their matching time. This file can be open with any text editor (and most file explorer like ES Explorer, or Root Explorer).​

1.2- Calibrating the battery

Then, you should fully charge your battery. Not plug it off when the led turns green, but when Current Widget stops reporting a charge (it slowly decreases). You will see that it takes sometimes more than 1 hour after the green led, to fully charge your battery. If your phone is rooted, delete the file ‘data\system\batterystats.bin’ with a file explorer to reset your battery calibration, and reboot.​

1.3- Monitoring your battery behaviour

To evaluate the behavior of your phone, leave it asleep (but not shutdown) a whole night, or at least 2 consecutive hours. Do this with Bluetooth, GPS, and WiFi OFF, data connection ON. Then open the log file. A typical and normal log should look like that :

2011/02/01 03:48:12,-5mA,55%
2011/02/01 03:53:20,-3mA,55%
2011/02/01 03:57:54,-66mA,55%
2011/02/01 04:07:46,-5mA,55%
2011/02/01 04:08:51,-5mA,55%
2011/02/01 04:18:44,-7mA,55%
2011/02/01 04:23:20,-3mA,55%

2011/02/01 05:48:44,-5mA,53%

You see here that the battery drain flow is continually between 3-8 mA, with only one peek at 66 mA. It results in only 2 % battery lost in 2 hours. When in standby, your phone should lose roughly 1 %-charge per hour.

If you can use your phone to heat your lounge and your log look more like this one :

2011/02/01 03:53:20,-225mA,54%

2011/02/01 04:48:12,-199mA,44%
2011/02/01 04:53:20,-236mA,43%

It’s good news ! There is room for improvement !​

2. Finding what is causing the battery drain

At this point, you know that something is eating up your battery. The key is to find out which setting or application (or combination of both) is causing this.

Open the dialer and press *#*#4636#*#* or download and install ‘Spare Parts’ and go in ‘Battery History’. In the second box set ‘Total since boot’. Then let’s have a look at the first box settings.

CPU usage :

A reasonable repartition should look like that :

If one or more Items are much more CPU-intensive than others, you have identified the culprit (or at least a part of them).

Proceed the same way with GPS and Sensors usage and look for any abnormal intensive processes.

If at this point you have identified one or more processes, go to point 3.1

Finally select ‘Partial Wake Usage’. If your phone suffers from battery drain, it is likely you will have one or more process(es) over represented in this ‘Partial Wake Usage’. It means these applications or settings (if the main culprit is 'Android System') are preventing your phone from going standby, keeping it in a partial wake state, which is obviously less battery-efficient. In this case, directly go to point 3.2​

3. Fixing the battery drain​

3.1- Processes heavy on CPU, GPS, Sensors

- If the main processes you identified are 3rd party applications, there is not much to do. Use common sense : for example if the draining culprit is a backup app, try to disable automatic backup, permanent monitoring, or any option that could use your phone even when standby. Each application has its own settings. Ultimately, you should uninstall these apps, and get in touch with the developper to inform him about the issue.

- If the main processes you identified are or is a stock app (ie HTC Sense account, Gmail, etc.) :
. if applicable, you should delete your ‘HTC Sense account’ which is know to be heavy on CPU
. if you identified Gmail, Picasa, or any other Google service, try lowering the synchronization frequency (or disabling it to see if it improves your battery life)
. stock apps can also drain battery when you installed a Rom over a previous one without completely wiping your system. Keep in mind that the results log I presented at the beginning are obtained with synchronization and stock app with their default settings. So on a healthy system, stock apps should not cause battery drain (again, appart from HTC Sense Account which is crap)

At this point, you should repeat point 1 and have a look at your log to see if things have improved. If the answer is ‘No’, go to point 4.​

3.2- Processes preventing ‘deep sleeping’

Some apps or settings can prevent your phone from going standby even if screen is off. It means your CPU can still be used at 100 %, and your battery will keep on draining, nearly as if it was awake.

It the process you identified in point 2. is a 3rd party app, there is not much to do. Use common sense : if the draining culprit is a backup app, try to disable automatic backup, permanent monitoring, or any option that could use your phone even when standby. Each application has its own settings. Ultimately, you should uninstall these apps, and get in touch with the developper to inform him about the issue.

Often, you won’t have much information about what is preventing your phone from sleeping. The main process is ‘Android System’. There has been much discussion over the net about this issue.

There has been many cases reported where WiFi when turned on, would keep your phone in ‘Partial Wake’. Even when turned off, the phone would not return to normal behaviour. In this case the only solution is to reboot with WiFi off. This is not a global issue, I did not suffer from it, but take the time to investigate this path. If you confirm you have this issue, there is not known solution yet. I would advice you to go to point 4.

By experience I can also tell you that installing a Rom over a previous one without wiping all can lead to some erratic issues. You should always backup your important data, then wipe all (data, dalvik, cache, etc) and then only install your new Rom. Some backup apps (like Titanium Backup) offer the possibility to save and restore system settings. This can also cause issues. You should only save data (sms, mms, bookmarks…) but not settings.​

3.3- Taskillers

If you use a taskiller, simply don’t. Really. Or at least, disable any option that allows the taskiller to permanently monitor and manage your memory.

Taskillers are supposed to speed your phone by killing tasks when the Memory is ‘full’ or above a defined limit. The problem is that it interferes with Android built-in (and efficient) memory management. You have to understand that what can slow down your phone is not Memory saturation (because Android will start closing apps on its own before reaching this situation), but CPU usage. You can still use a taskiller to see which app are eating CPU cycles and close them. But again, don’t let any 3rd-party app manage your memory. It will only bring you force-closes, battery drain, and various unpredictable issues.​

3.4- Radios

I won’t be very talkative on this topic, but if your phone is fully rooted, ENG-OFF and Radio S-OFF, you should really try a few radios. Some of them are reported to improve signal strength and battery life. Write down the version of your current radio (to be able to restore it if needed) and try a few ones. Have a look here :

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877295​

4. Battery still draining insanely fast : what to do now ?

Ok, at this point, you have not much options left.

If not already done, install a fresh, well-known, and stable Rom (for example LeeDroid or RevolutionHD). Install it from scratch, after having wiped all. When booting and going through the setup steps, untick ‘save my settings with my google account’ (or something similar, sorry my Rom is in French…). This will prevent the Market from restoring the apps you used with your previous Rom.

When fully booted, only install CurrentWidget off the market, reboot, and follow point 1. to calibrate your battery. You are now on stock Rom, with only one app installed (which I certify does not drain battery…).

At this point you should not experience battery drain.

- If you still have an unusual battery consumption, I have no more idea. Get in touch with the relevant Customer Service and ask for a return. You may restore a stock Rom before doing this (for warranty purpose), search the forum to find How.

- If you seem to have a reasonable battery flow (again, between 3 to 8 mA with only a few peaks), install your favourite apps one by one, with at least 30 mn between each installation (and having a look at the current log each time). This will allow you to identify any app that would start draining your battery. If you identify such an app, go to point 3.1. This will take time, but hey, you want your issue solved don’t you ?​

5. General tips

Finally, I will try to sum up what to do to preserve your battery life :

- avoid installing a Rom without wiping your system before
- after installing a new Rom, calibrate your battery (point 1.2)
- do not use taskillers
- try to install applications one by one to easily identify a battery-draining one
- don’t use HTC Sense account, it can use much CPU, drain your battery, burn your house and kill your family​

Thanks for taking the time to read.

Use APKTool to Decompile, Edit, Translate and Recompile an APK

Please help me translate my ROM to your languages then send me all strings were translated, I'll add them to my ROM​

Source from MIUI-AU
APKTool is an application (made by Brut.all) which decompiles and recompiles android APKs. If you know what you are doing, it also allows you to debug the smali code step by step. In our case it will enable us to build a language pack by translating the .xml strings inside APK files.

You need to do the following preparations (the video outlines these steps anyway):
Download the prepackaged APKTool zip.
Extract them to a directory you will remember.
Extract framework-res.apk AND apk files you want to decompile from the NDT MIUI ROM and copy them to the root directory of APKTool.

This step must be completed every time you are dealing with APKTool:
Open a command window
Navigate to the root directory of APKtool and type the following command:
apktool if framework-res.apk
The output should be:
I: Framework installed to: C:\Users\NDT\apktool\framework\1.apk

This step does the actual decompiling of the APK (I will assume that the chosen APK is Settings.apk):

apktool d Settings.apk

The output should be:

I: Loading resource table…
I: Decoding resources…
I: Copying assets and libs…

After doing that, a new directory with the name of the APK you decompiled should have been created. You need to:

Change into the newly created directory.
Change into the /res folder
Check to see if a values-xx folder exists, where xx is the two letter code of the target language to be translated into. For example, if you are aiming to translate into German, check for a values-de folder. If it does not exist (and chances are that if you are translating into a new language, that it will not exist), you need to create it. Then, copy the arrays.xml and strings.xml files from the /values folder into the folder you just created.

Open these two files (in Notepad ++) and alter the strings (the text in BLACK ONLY). Look out for things that look like %d and %s /’ - Don’t edit these, as they are variables. Also, if you see &, it represents the ‘&’ sign, so feel free to change it. Finally, you MUST be sure to place a backslash ‘\’ before an apostrophe, for example Proxy\’s would be the equivalent of Proxy’s.
Once you have translated and edited your arrays.xml and strings.xml files, save them, and return to the root directory of APKTool.
Open a command prompt to that directory

Enter the following command to recompile your edited and translated APK (assuming that Settings.apk is the chosen APK):

apktool b Settings

The output should be:

I: Checking whether sources has changed…
I: Smaling…
I: Checking whether resources has changed…
I: Building resources…
I: Building apk file…

You may get a couple of these messages:

aapt: warning: string ‘app_killed_message’ has no default translation in C:\Users\Josh\Desktop\NF\framework-res\res; found: fr it ja
aapt: warning: string ‘global_action_reboot’ has no default translation in C:\Users\Josh\Desktop\NF\framework-res\res; found: fr it ja
aapt: warning: string ‘reboot_system’ has no default translation in C:\Users\Josh\Desktop\NF\framework-res\res; found: fr it ja
aapt: warning: string ‘toast_reboot_recommend’ has no default translation in C:\Users\Josh\Desktop\NF\framework-res

However, it will build the apk anyway. These messages mean that some strings don’t have values. It is only an issues if the text im blue includes your translation language.

Open the new .apk by 7zip or winrar, then copy resources.arsc from it to old .apk file (overwite the old resources.arsc one with new one) and
Copy the resources.arsc from the /build directory into the original framework-res from the rom (just overwrite the old resources.arsc one with the new one) and you have a apk file was translate now

Hey thanks, I've been waiting for a gingerbread MIUI. This is very cool. Downloading now.

 

[Lizzo]

ginger, ginger ginger, whoop whoop! lol
i'm flashing rite now. i always liked the miui roms, but cud never use it due to the graphical errors and glitches i always get wen playing HD games (asphalt 6, splintercell, dungeon defenders etc..) hope things improve with this build

 

[jsnsch]

is it multilanguage?

 

[lolmensch]

wifi is stuck at obtaining ip adress :-/

data isnt working either. i have the edge symbol but neither browser nor google maps or similiar apps do have connection to the web

is it multilanguage?

no.

 

[patmorris]

Seems silky smooth so far, I'll have to give it a lil testing with bluetooth, wifi, gps, etc. and see how it goes. Looks really good, thank you for bringing this to us!

 

[traianescu]

it is based on Desire or Nexus One? i need to download italian language pack, but i don't know which version is this..
for the usb(i already tested the one from 3dak) i used an widget to mount downloaded from market
