[MODULE] LKT - Insane Battery Life | Fast | Buttery Smooth ?

[korom42]

High performance & power-saving tweaks for all devices (THAT ACTUALLY WORK)​

Introduction
LKT aims to achieve a fair balance between power consumption and performance. Instead of tuning the parameters manually, LKT adopts Project WIPE open-source interactive parameters for the mainstream SOCs that are generated by machine learning AI via simulation and heuristic optimization algorithms.

How does it work?
WIPE v2 focuses on meeting performance requirements when interacting with APP, while reducing non-interactive lag weights, pushing the trade-off between fluency and power-saving even further. QTI Boost Framework, which must be disabled before applying optimization, is able to dynamically override parameters based on perf hint. This project utilizes the QTI Boost Framework and extends the ability to override custom parameters. When launching APPs or scrolling the screen, applying more aggressive parameters to improve response at an acceptable power penalty. When there is no interaction, use conservative parameters, use small core clusters as much as possible, and run at a higher energy efficiency OPP under heavy load.

Features

• Multi-Profile
• Improved smoothness & battery life
• Advanced interactive governor tuning (Project WIPE)
• EAS devices Support
• RAM management enhancements
• IO blocks enhancements
• Enabled & configured wakelock blocking
• Disabled excessive logging at kernel level (Improves battery life as well as performance)
• Other miscellaneous adjustments to enhance power efficiency

Profiles

Battery: Can achieve ~2 hours or longer on-screen battery life, may lag in some scenarios where the load fluctuates dramatically

Balanced: smoother than the stock config with lower power consumption(recommended)

Performance: Same as balanced profile, with more responsiveness

Turbo: Provides a stable performance utilizing the maximum capacities of the device without limitation .

Requirements

• Magisk
• Busybox (Required for terminal commands)

Installation

• Flash in TWRP or Magisk manager
• Follow the given instructions

FAQ(frequently asked question)

Also check for FAQ here (More often updated)

• How do I apply these tweaks?

Simply flash LKT zip in recovery or Magisk app then reboot.

• Do I have to be rooted?

Yes, LKT needs either Magisk or SuperSU or init.d support.
Beware that LKT is a collection of advanced tweaks that act on kernel level. If you don't know how it works, then please try this at your own risk. I won't be responsible for any damage or loss. Never forget to make backups.

• What are the available profiles ?

Battery: Can acheive ~2 hours or more longer on-screen battery life, may lag in some scenarios where the load fluctuates dramatically

Balanced: smoother than the stock config with lower power consumption(recommended)

Performance: Same as balanced profile, with more responsiveness

Turbo: Provides a stable performance utilizing the maximum capacities of the device without limitation

• How to switch between profiles?

• Method 1

To access the command controls screen using terminal type

su
lkt

Then follow the instructions

• Method 2

Now you can also you run these commands to directly switch profiles (must run with root permissions)

    lkt 1 (for battery profile)
    lkt 2 (for balanced profile)
    lkt 3 (for performance profile)
    lkt 4 (for turbo profile)

• Method 3

You can also to re-flash the module twice to change the profile but you will have to reboot using this way.

• Can I use LKT with another MOD ?

** Compatibility list** You can still these mods since they do not affect LKT parameters.

• Universal XML Patcher
• GMS Doze
• ForceDoze, Naptime, Greenify, Amplify, Power Nap
• MCS (Magic charging switch) & Charging control mods..etc
• BlackenedMod (Pixel 2)

** Incompatibility list ** Do not use similar mods with LKT, here is a list of some known MODs that will interfere

• AKT (Advanced Kernel Tweaks)
• Spectrum
• Helix Engine
• L-Speed
• GovTuner
• Every bullsh*t placebo MOD like : CrossBreeder, NFS, KITANA, FeraDroid ..etc
• Heavily tweaked ROM such as : xXx (OP6/6T)

• Will this work on my ROM & Kernel ?

It should work on almost every Stock, AOSP or Lineage based ROM & Kernel
The only problem is with heavily tweaked ROMs, they can interfere with LKT.

• Will this work on my device?

This mod support a large list of devices you can check the compatibility list.

• How to make sure that LKT is working ?

Using a file explorer with root access check LKT logs in the location below ( share & upload yours in case of having troubles)

/data/LKT.prop

•I cannot find or open LKT logs

To properly open LKT.prop you need a file manager with root access your app may not be working correctly. Here's some apps I can recommend

• MiXplorer
• FX File Explorer + ROOT addon

You can also access your alogs using terminal by running this code
First type su then copy and past this line :

cat /data/LKT.prop

• My logs are incomplete

Make sure you are using the latest version of Magisk 18.0+
Install busybox by @osm0sis

• My device Lags or not longer smooth What do I do?

This can happen and it's a normal thing. As I have stated before, all these tweaks have been done for fit certain usage which might not be the same as yours. Because this, your device may lag in some scenarios under heavy loads (If you are experimenting huge lags, you have done something wrong). And yes, this can be fixed. We have a couple of ways of fixing it. First of all if you are using battery profile try switching to another one, if this doesn't help you consider the following steps :

• Do a factory reset
• Get rid of unnecessary background apps
• Try a different ROM or Kernel
• Try another profile

• These settings don't work & I'm not getting great screen on time

Keep in mind these tweaks have been tested on certain scenario that might not the same as yours, read the introduction in OP to understand more about this. However if you are getting worse results than before you are probably doing something wrong and here are some recommendations for you

• Do a factory reset
• Get rid of unnecessary background apps
• Try a different ROM or Kernel
• Try another profile

• How to update LKT?

Dirty flash the new zip or install the update via Magisk manager and it will automatically upgrade.

• How to uninstall LKT?

Flashing the module for the second time will remove LKT. You can also remove it from Magisk app.

Hi, does include Google service drain fix?

 

[rmb.gh]

battery usage screen shot plz

 

[nurav666]

I installed this along with the recommended FSC thermal driver and my battery life actually got a bit worse, and my phone drains faster after the screen is off. Previous to installing this, my battery drain graph was basically vertical on screen off. How can I uninstall this mod and go back to my previous settings?

what profile are you using ? also what kernel and rom if you are on custom rom you must you use the custom rom celaner zip
also you might want to check new version v3 .. profiles are more battery oriented now
to remove the mod simply flash the remover [Uninstaller]LXT™_Remover.zip

 

[macaulay mcculkin]

Didn't work for me. Phone got super laggy after flashing. Even switching between homescreens or scrolling through Google Now feed have terrible lag.
I'm on eXistenZ rom. Used cleaner, then flashed LXT Balanced, then FSC and wiped cache afterwards. Tried a couple more times without FSC and without cleaner all with the same result.

Definitely that lag you are complaining about IS NOT related to my mod, older versions v1/v2 maybe had few issues but sincr v3 everything is super smooth .. I'll post benchmarks and videos proof if you don't believe .. you saying that you are on custom ROM well keep mind that the rom cleaner zip only removes "init.d scripts" and restore stock "init.qcom.post_boot.sh" file .. So next time you want to try my mod and give a legit feedback.. do a clean firmware installation, use stock or/Androplus kernel ... follow the tips from #2nd_post then report back

I used the balanced profile, and it seems like the phone was unable to get to deep sleep. I'm running stock ROM. I tried V3 as well, but I'm guessing it's not easy for everyone to get consistent results because of different usage patterns. I removed your script and now I'm back to my previous battery life. I will definitely try your mod again on your next release.

New version is up with major changes ..
-V4 | 15/11/2017

Gov Profiles :
- All profiles rebuilt from scratch .. Heavily tested under different usage patterns
- Significant improvements in battery life and performance for all profiles (the jackpot is to know how exploit efficient frequencies !!)
Misc :
- IO Tweaks : Switched to "noop"
- Some bug fixes

 

[snake218]

Thanks for your work, will test.
A question, do you think overall performance will be better setting zram higher? (currently just 60mb for what I see?) and set read ahead value to 2048 instead 512kb?

Bro thank you for mod. I want to ask a question. What is the "Cleaner for Custom Roms" in your download folder?

Read the first post

 

[snake218]

Maybe im not the one to answer, but it restore stock init.qcom.post_boot.sh file.

PD: anyone has the stock thermal-engine.conf?

Well it removes scripts from init.d folder and replaces init.qcom.post_boot.sh with stock one from 7.1.1

Thanks for your work, will test.

For Zram.. overall performance won't be affected that much .. Total free RAM might be slightly less but with great battery savings .. for read ahead value it won't affect anything .. maybe in next version will apply some changes for the balanced profile strictly .

Maybe im not the one to answer, but it restore stock init.qcom.post_boot.sh file.

You can find it my fsc custom thermal.e mod thread downloads .. zip name [XZ]_Back_to_stock.zip

Must I flash Cleaner before flashing mod?

 

[korom42]

Must I flash Cleaner before flashing mod?

Absolutely especially if you're using a custom rom
I also recommend switching to Androplus or stock kernel..
If you have other tweaks on your rom also remove them ..
Please read notes from #2nd posts

I am using eXzistenZ and Androplus v29. Thank you for your replies...

 

[BloodEdge]

could you please set a delay after boot ?
and why make lowmemorykiller minfree so large, app reload like ****....
