Hello, main goal for this thread is tot share my experience and help others! Its not guaranteed it will work.

1. Keep it stock!
All of those tweaking scripts do more harm then good. Mainly the 'battery saving options' can bring alot of lagg while not increasing battery alot.. Its more Placebo.

2. Flash another ROM!
I went from CyanogenMod to Resurrection Remix. CM was alot smoother then EMUI. But after a few days animations started to lagg. A reboot was requiered to fix it temporary. Now on Resurrection Remix currently maintained by @jsbeyond doesnt have this issue. Atleast not for me. AOSP is a good solution too. But i like to keep my features and customization.

3. For Blaze Kernal users
Dont use sioplus as main i/o scheduler atleast not for internal. I found out that it does something weird regarding 'smoothness'..

4. An experimental tweak
Set i/o scheduler to cfq and read ahead cache to 128kb. I found out that it helps with the smoothness on the ui but mainly scrolling.
Thx for reading. Hope i helped someone share your opinions!

A custom ROM is the best choice, CM13 has a better battery SOT than stock (at least for me)
