[MartinX3]

Running it now, thank you @CyberWalkMaN !

 

[MartinX3]

Good work, I like it!

Found bugs

Night silent mode seems not to work.
The phone ringed at night.

In the app mobile data usage screen is the options button invisible.

Bluetooth symbol is not shown in status bar.

 

[Flounderist]

Bluetooth symbol is not shown in status bar.

BT icon is showing if phone is connected to a device only.
It is a Pie feature.

My pie on my xz2 shows the BT Symbol always if the Hardware is activated and changes the Symbol if a device is connected.

All of my 3 devices running LOS 16 are showing BT only in the quick tile menu. I assume it is a LOS feature then.

sad that it's a los 16 feature.
I like to know if I activated bluetooth by accident or forgot to turn it off.

But yes, I looked only at stock, aosp and omnirom.

I don't think it will affect your battery life that much.
By the way I keep BT tile in the first row to be sure I didn't forgot to turn it off.

I'm not sure, it's an old hardware revision and the board anyway likes to get hot, but thank you for this useful idea.

 

[Flounderist]

Yuga get hot even when switched off

If you want to keep device a little cooler without a big performance loss, disable all kernel's touch boosts using kernel adiutor, and slightly under clock CPU to 1350 GHz.

Also set interactive governor and then set target_load as 90.

Shouldn't that get set as default in this los 16 ROM?
And thank you

Nope. Boosts are active and CPU is set at 1512 max freq as usual.
Interactive governor is the default, but target loads are different.
