Hi friends,I'm going to share my experience of amazing battery life on my Redmi 1s..
What I did to get amazing battery life and better multitasking on my Redmi:-
1)I flashed the latest Mokee rom (Release version-272 MB) on my Device.
2)Flashed the Powersaver thermal config Mod.You'll find it at the end of this post.
3)I installed Trickster Mod Kernel setting APK from the play store and I did below modifications to it
a)Set the CPU max and min frequency to 300MHZ and 1094 MHZ.Turned on the CPU frequency lock.
b)Governer set to ONDEMAND and schedular to ROW.
c)Turned on MP-Decision,Set Multicore Power saving mode to 2 and turned on temperature throttle.
d)Set the GPU max frequency to 320 MHZ and governor to ONDEMAND .
(Set it to 450MHZ if you game a lot however it donot cause serious battery changes as per my observations)
4)Install greenify from Play store and hibernate most of the apps That causes cpu wakes (I greenified all downloaded apps )
5) Thats it you are ready to get most out of your redmi's battery. Please comment your experiences here.

If you do a little more changing in governot you didn't need to underclock because doing that you transform a powerfull phone into a Red Rice and that's no good!

i think he means that underclocking this phone to 1000mhz would definitely slow it down, rendering the quad-core powerful device incapable to functions at its best performance possible. im running 1344 mhz now and i think its enough compromise between processing power and battery mileage.

The config file is at the end of the post as an attached file. I've been using the max frequency at 1095MHZ for about a week and I didn't face any sort of lag in the performance but I dont game.If u game a lot just put GPU to the max frequency thats it.

If u are a hardcore gamer Just keep the GPU frequency to 450MHZ .You'll have no issue I played games like Real racing,Contract killer and even Good old NFS most wanted on my device.I faced no lag and note I didn't touched the CPU frequency.There was no issues like overheating or frame drops etc.

No I just Did what I explained in this post try battery calibration by Neema before calibrating charge your phone to full and calibrate,Reboot.If you loose any juice after reboot just charge it to full again and discharge to 0 and charge again.Note dont interrupt charging or discharging process in the middle.This might help you.

lol these are all battery myths and rumours ... the so called calibration is to be done to old lead acid batteries which is a obsolete tech now and the LI-ion and Li-po batteries we use are much smarter and they dont need to get calibrated and get done all the things you mentioned in your post and allowing it to drain to zero will only reduce the battery cycles left and thus reducing the battery performance so dont spoil your battery by doing all those things just make sure it doesnt die ( drains to zero) every time you charge your phone or else your battery cycles will be reduced

Can someone please tell me what is considered "normal"?
Mine runs at about 55 constantly, is this dangerous?
Hi,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1557494&highlight=cpu+temp
For example,there is another threads...
55°C is not dangerous and I doubt it runs constantly at 55°C,in sleep?when your browse on the net?when you watch a movie?or just when you naviguate in settings?
So,normal if you have this CPU temp while browsing or whatching a video,not very normal if your just naviguate in settings since 10 mins... (according to the CPU freq?) or if your phone is in sleep since 10 mins (if you do not download anything)->wake up and you see 55°C...
While it is charging?
The CPU temp limit is at 64°C (if you don't modify it),above thermal throttling,reboot...
And it's with stock kernel?custom kernel (CPU freq?voltage?),what are you doing exactly with your phone?

I flashed Franco M3 last night and was admittidly browsing a lot before I went to bed and this morning.
Looking at it now where its been sat on my desk at work for a while its hovering around 35.
I suppose I was just looking for a little assurance my phone isnt going to break into a ball of flames suddenly!!!
Again appreciate the response mate, Thanks

In sleep,for example since 10 mins?without touching it?
Mine in sleep is at 22°C in my home (current ambient temperature about...24°C).
In extreme use (for example during a bench ) go to about 86°C...
In browsing about 55-56°C.
In light use (setting my home screen for example) about 40°C.
For example with System Tuner pro you can follow in real time your CPU temp (with graph).
Running at 1.42Ghz actually.
And in normal use I settled my CPU temp limit to 75°C (stock is 64°C),I feel that by increasing the CPU temp limit the phone heats a little less.

Always wonder on these forums and dont take this the wrong way but is their any other point than upping your benchmark by overclocking.
Do you have any noticeable difference in performance thats worth the loss in battery.

I'm just curious because what you said confuses me lol but, how exactly would INCREASING temp limit make the phone get hot less?
I don't know much about how that works (the nitty gritty details) but that seems kinda Counterintuitive?

Hi,
I do not know any more ,like I said "I feel"...
At the same CPU freq and about the same use I feel with a higher CPU temp limit the CPU heats less...that's what I thought noticed when I monitor the temperature evolution in System Tuner...Why?,Placebo?Not exactly the same condition?I do not look exactly at the same times (after a high load) compared to the stock CPU temp limit?...I don't know much...
I tried to reproduce the same conditions for both CPU temp limit,and I think I noticied this...But it's not "scientific" nor proven...
I may be an explanation in French but I can not do the same in English even with Google Translation...,too hard for me
And I am not a engineer in processor and I do not have large knowledge in this...And maybe,certainly,my explanation is crap

Re,
Yes there is a performance improvement it depends in what...
Some apps loads faster,my launcher is smoother (Apex),scrolling is better,etc...
Some people do not notice the other yes...
Even withe the "better" kernel,the more you overclock the more your battery life decreases,but it also depends of the voltage,governor and what you do with your phone...
If I run 15 benchs at 1.65Ghz for stability test (or for to show that I have a big **** LOL )...Bye bye the battery...

Hi guys!
This One X is very performing smartphone, games are really pretty... But I can stand that battery problem! I've tried so many rom, using setcpu for ondemand governor of the Tegra3... But I still not have so many battery life!
Can you guys suggest how rom, kernel or something else can save my battery?
Generic suggestions about this problem... Now I'm using Jdroid exodized 3.0.3 with bricked kernel v0.2, but battery is so draining... 63 % of battery with 1.37 hours of screen.. 4 h 22 min on it! =(
Hi!
I see a lot of people complaining about battery life, but if you take a look around you'll find the thread where people posted their battery usage. Me - I'm using rooted OneX running the stock ROM and am more than satisfied as far as battery life goes. I do 15 hours with ease. If I try to save it it usually lasts for more than 24 hours. Maybe you could try stock rom + root ... maybe a little underclock? I've been hearing underclock is quite the juice saver.
Hi,
I am the same I have tried custom Rom's but they claim to improve battery life but they just move the tegra 3 powersaving driver into the correct place!
I have a unlocked O2 HTC One X with O2 Rom and flashed battery fix and rooted the device!
Using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597227
I have managed to setup a shortcut using widgets on the screen to select how many cores I want to use. I find that using one core clocked at 1.5GHz is fast enough and I don't have much lag! This has helped my battery massively! This is because O2 still haven't pushed through the HTC updates yet!
And also using this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630200
I flashed this using CMW and this has also helped.
I also find disabling some stock apps using App Managment in Settings, also using CPU spy from the Play Store and Battery Usage in settings. I can find the apps that use the most CPU power then uninstall or limit their usage (maybe using the internet instead of a dedicated app) this then has the phone stay in Deep Sleep for longer. I can easily get through 24hrs without having to try to save battery at all! I sometimes have almost got two days without charging!
Another tip is in the Usage app you can Restrict Background data over the network although when you connect to your WiFi it enables it again. Although it is meant to help save your Data it can also help your Battery Life.
Hope this helps!
Steven
Thanks for the answer!
I noticed that, in this Rom that I'm trying, I've the Screen that consume a lot of battery, even in the lowest brightness mode. Not using WiFi, 3g data, autosync, nothing, only a lot of text message received and sent. I think that this S-LCD2 consume a lot of battery or maybe the software of HTC, this time, is a loot poor of balance with this expensive hardware.
Do you think I can improve battery life with the tips that you said? I'm using this ROM right now http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1597778.
Setting CPU to ondemand governor 304 mhz min and 1.5 ghz doesn't help me? I must disable some cores? I can give it a try, hope that this tips can be made in this AOSP Senseless Rom.

I'm asking myself [ and you ] if this screen consume really a lot amount of battery... Or there is some problem with my one x... Reaching the 3+ hours screen on is a good result, but in a 15 h battery day life, I hope... Maybe I can reach disabling a couple of processors
Don't worry about the screen, it will always take a lot of power whatever you do! It isn't worth messing with it.
You don't need to mess with the CPU although personally it does make a diffrence to the battery, I don't notice it too unless I am gaming!
Maybe an app is preventing your phone from going to deep sleep whilst the screen is off
Try using this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.bvalosek.cpuspy&hl=en
If it says that your phone hasn't been in deep sleep, We need to try and find the culprit. Once you have done this maybe post back and I might be able to help you sort this out! It took me a while as I had this problem but it was definatly worth the effort!
Try looking in battery in the settings and see if there are any apps that are using a lot of power (maybe take a screen shot) and also try in Data Usage, there maybe apps using the Internet whilst you aren't using the phone. This also wastes the battery. If you restrict background usage (only on certain apps) it will only use the Internet in the background whilst you are connected to wifi only. Facebook is a good example!
Hope this helps
Steven
If you don't understand anything please say, I know my explanations are awful but I will try my best! I think I have changed everything here to fit your rom!
The rom itself although you or the developer know this but the overall system could be causing a problem! (just a theory!)

You're too fine with me steven, thanks!
I've downloaded Cpu Spy and it says that my one x has been in deep sleep for 70 % of time, so there is no problem with some apps doing something during screen off. My problem is that when I'm using all 4 cores, without internet via wifi or 3g, without autosync, nothing at all, and screen at lowest brightness, there is still a drastic battery drain while I'm using only Message app a lot. I don't wanna think that my HOX have a fault battery, but how can I test and prove it ? I don't know if there is a program, app or test for doing this thing.
Now I'm with that ROM Senseless AOSP ICS, I will try next charge with two cores actives only and view how much I can stay with that SetCpu settings. I'm using this settings: 101% Battery <, CPU Max 1Ghz to 51Mhz and priority 100, governor ondemand ; screen off, CPU Max 1Ghz to 200 mhz and priority 100, governor ondemand. I'll give you the result soon.
you need to give it time to settle the battery mate. i manage to go a day or two and have like 3 hours screen on time and that is with everything on. if you need any help send me a PM mate and i see what i can do to help you. and i would not use SetCpu for now i am using No-Frills. And switch from ondemand to Interactive. and that is with 1.5Ghz as max and 100mhz mininum

I agree that you should not use set CPU although you are best using ondemand as that is only using the amount of power you need, interactive keeps the speed high to increase the overall speed. (not good for battery life) also maybe, my mothers Samsung Galaxy S2 had battery problems and she got 6hrs of battery out of her phone at max, she always carried her charger around.
I calibrated the battery without using any software, I just fully charged the device and left video/audio/maps on to get rid of the battery as fast as I could and then fully charged the device. All I am trying to say is give this a shot (I did this when I first got my phone) she now gets on average 2days battery life! I know that it can take ages but it is defiantly worth the effort!
Hope this helps

Also, how do you find that ROM it looks great. I think I might try it!

if it is me you are asking about the rom mate it is really good highly recommend it
I don't know guys... My phone without two cores seems to have more battery with setcpu on demand declocked at 1 ghz... But I mean, this screen... Lowest brightness, consumes a lot... Wanna try some other roms, like X Touch Xtreme or InsertCoin =)

What, The Senseless I've meant? Tell me what you think!
P.s. Seems that the Leedroid 6 Rom with Franco kernel it's a good couple for battery life. Read this one, post #33 : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1648687&page=4
In this Rom, The Jdroid Exodized, I can't try the HTC Battery Test. When I'm trying new one Rom with sense, I will keep in mind to do that.
In the mean time post your suggestions about other roms or other tips for this tooooo much powerful phone =)

it is meant to stop the audioout_3 wakelock from draining battery while the screen is off. install betterbatterystats. leave all your stuff in sounds ticked..then charge your battery to the full and seee what i mean once you start testing the battery

Sorry goku, I want to ask you if you reached the point of 3 hours screen on with everything on, with a day or two with battery! I read that you're using leedroid v 6 with bricked kernel v 0.3, how is battery life with this software? Thanks for the answer!

Hey guys i saw this video on youtube (http://youtu.be/5nrOWZUsEEc) that explains that undervolting wont make your phone save battery life more than 2% even with EXUV. I need explanations for this as i don't really understand.

Well, i don't really understand WHY it doesn't save more than 2% of the battery life. Afaik, EXUV does reduce heat and improve battery life by miles. But that's what I thought. In reality which is this, im not rly sure why that even with EXUV, it still cant save more than 2% of the battery life.

I'm not technically expert with things like this but I have read an article/ blog before that undervolting may damage a phone since it was designed to work with that specific voltage. So, I actually didn't do that even UC or OC. Just saying.....
Undervolting doesn't save battery as your CPU will still try and draw the manufacturer set levels.
If it doesn't get those levels it must step down its own level which essentially means that the activity that needs processing needs more time, and consequently, more battery.
Even if you manually adjust the clock speed of your CPU down to match your new voltages, the same applies.
UC/UV is quite simply the worst voodoo that persists across these forums.

we can control the hardware through software so we can control the voltages and frequencies through kernel
devs can put new frequency levels as manufacturers did (like this :https://github.com/Christopher83/samsung-kernel-msm7x30/commit/899d5a296a43a6d32c2468bba8121c3a1915dd68)
if its not true and if this method doesnt work, Why all kernel devs on XDA trying the same thing??
https://github.com/faux123/android_kernel_oppo_n1/commit/eaa6639979e1144f28c14e6de48994d41e5d20d8
https://github.com/franciscofranco/hammerhead/commit/104890313a73dae0e7d7a13975801cc568d231ad
in summary EXUV and UV are absolutly battery-friendly
and do not forget undervoltage cant damage the hardware but overvoltage(ı mean OC) can damage the hardware

I've based my reply above on this post.
It is a much longer version of what I summarised earlier.
And, sorry, even UC/UV can damage your hardware in rare situations.
It does baffle me why people spend so much time tweaking things as you mention when the net returns are negligible, and often cancelled out.
So to sum all this up. We just have to leave the CPU & voltage tables alone since it damages hardware?

It's not that you have to, but that chip designer recommends it.

"For the sake of battery save", powersave is the best governor. And you hopefully just understood why questions like these are frowned upon.

i've messed around with ondemand and powersave, problem is whatever program/app u use will change the values but simply wont stick as theres something forcing the cores to jump to max freq when under load
so i quit and am waiting on a kernel or rom that will allow this type of customization.

But that's the thing if you read the other reply you will then see why I asked. Since there seems to be that the root cpu commands doubt stick and get overidden
try use 3C Toolbox
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ccc71.at.free&hl=en
this app can control frequency and governor for each core. use it on my late z1 compact. i havent root my g4 yet.
but speaking of battery saving, I dont see any big difference compared to untouched processor frequency/governor.
for underclocking the frequency, I can see theres no overheating issue on the phone (when heavy gaming or heavy photography, the phone will still heat up but not too much)
I believe custom kernel will help much in terms of battery saving.
you wont see much different with stock kernel tweaking. imo
@negeri: and, moreover, tweaking (customization+ powersaving) seems to kill the battery life.
Have to flash the new 10e and Xposed framework, I won't try to optimize things as all I get is a slow and laggy device.

I see.
Haha sure thing. Now everything's fine, I bet ot was a mistake to install Gravitybox + XuiMod.
What has helped was putting min freq to lowest and leaving highest in Max and setting on interactive.
Original thread for Nexus 6P is located here:

Hi Guys,
After a very successful journey from Redmi 1s to Nexus 6P, I'm now here with my Xthermal Mod for Mi 5.
I'm personally testing the mod since a week and will be rolling out all the profiles soon.
Till then I need your help to test it out in different conditions.
Please join and help me to make it more better this time.
I'm attaching Fast Charge only profile as of now.
Edit: Xthermal Performance + Back to stock added...

1. Stock charger supports max 2000 mah.
2. Max Charging current is controlled by the Kernel itself.
As soon as battery level increases the charging current goes down.
You might have observed that if battery level is below 50% then charging is super fast but after 60% it is very slow.
If you (your apps) do not use the handset resources much while charging then you do not need this mod.
If you use your handset while charging (which is strongly not recommended) example for gaming, browsing or chatting etc then the temperature rises slowly slowly.
The stock limits are very aggressive and it starts throttling and your cpu, gpu and charging speeds goes down.
So this mod comes into play here and delays the throttling a bit resulting in better cpu, gpu and charging results.
Does it produces more heat?
Heat is directly related with performance. This mod itself doesn't produce any heat but yes delaying the throttling means the handset is able to use all your resources even if temps rises hence may result in a bit more heat + more performance.
The results are more amazing if you have a fast charger.
I believe there is no risk in flashing this but still don't blame me for all your actions.

Is there any requirements? Miui? Cm? Kernel?
Please upload the "back to stock" for mi 5. Thanks
I don't see "thermal-engine-8996.conf" file in my rom. Assume I can just delete the file (or re-install rom) to revert to default.
By the way, do you know what's default value for each before this mod? Hope this mod not increase the threshold too much. Worry it will boom.
I've read original thread, what I understand is our phone will charge faster but trade off with hotter while charging.

Just flash performance zip.on miui 8 6.9.29 i feel the phone faster then before,fast charging work good,just for test from 20%to100% 50min.Good joob
Just flashed it too. Phone seems much faster will see about charging and battery drainage but I prefer faster phone over battery always
Would you mind explaining technically what those mods do? e.g.: governor, upper and lower frequency limit, etc. Some of us like to know the geeky details
