To prevent battery drain, you should put all apps you don't use 24/7 to sleep, by using 'Extreme battery saver function in Android 12 and above. And if you are running Android 10 ore 11, you should use '
Greenify' in Magisk as a system app to put all apps to sleep you don't want to be running in the background draining the battery.
Apps like Signal messenger, Facebook, Diler/Phone, sms app, Clock, are app you should NOT put to sleep, but apps like, Calculator, Webbrowser, Calendar, File manager, image gallery and every single app you dont need when the phone is sleeping, you should put to sleep in '
Greenify' ore 'Extreme battery saver' .
Installing Greenify in Magisk --
The Greenify app can be downloaded from the app store, the problem with this version of the app is that sooner or later the app will fall asleep and lose its functionality. to prevent this, we put the app as system app through Magisk. System app can't be put to sleep, unless you manually disable the app.

Hi,
installing GSI images work well and battery last longer, don't know why some versions failed and eat battery.
I fully undestood you guide to hide root, but Magisk failed on my WP5Pro. Tried lot of version, give a try if you want. But it always work half a way. And I found a way, using bootlader flash,
I skipped some flashing steps from *.bat file
like this one
start /wait powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command ./fastboot --disable-verification flash boot boot.img
start /wait powershell.exe -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command ./fastboot --disable-verification flash vbmeta vbmeta.img
so I did not flash boot and vbmeta. Only flashed GSI.img and Lk's to avoid orange state.
Before flashing GSI. I flashed OEM firmware using SP_MDT_AFterSale_20.32, just like is mentioned inside oukitel guide.
Phone works like charm, battery is not drained. There is no root detection, all works and saved money for me (need Android 12 for works app}. Thanks too you.
But one question, why rooting phone also, during flashing *.bat file, I would like to see choice between root Y/N. Based on my experience, it is not needed.
Last speaking. This thread is very useful, even Oukitel staff member (If they're reading this), must be scare what a big steps are done here. I own few oukitel's phones, and not sure If I'll keep buying them.
My 1st -K10000Max - this was/is flag ship, perfect rugged phone, good photos, easy to disassembly, cheap spare parts, nice seal. You only need screw driver to open it. As this phone still working, from my perspective is retired. Still testing its survailability. Hot tubes, salt water (10m deep), crashes.
2nd - base od 1st experience, Oukitel was a choice - WP5Pro, Was not happy, battery as not as good as k10000max, fake cameras (I guess it is, becase photos are worse then k10000max), but this thread moved it to as better as it should be (Flashing GSI firmawares)
3rd - WP20, using it only as bike computer/navigation, works as expected, full day battery with sport tracking app and from time to time navigation, as rugged phone it survived crash, cold, rain. I don't care, pay something around 70USD,
Meanwhile- My Mom using C31, she will expect better photos, but for that price, she is happy. Unxepected happend, phone firware was damaged (She said, it happends from minute to minute), phone stopped working. Re-flashed it, now ok. Next one, for my friends, K10000Pro - it broke screen after 1st fall.
For me, Oukitel lost its drive. They are looking for money on
kickstarter to get their powerstation product on the market. Sold WP5 desing to
another company.
Guys I'm just curious about fake cameras on WP5Pro, is this true?
