"Battery life " one of the most important aspect of a great overall android experience..This guide is to help you get the max out of your battery and getting that little extra performance out of your S4 pro (yes,,no performance degradation here )
This guide is compiled over a duration of time and have been tried and tested by me
Following are the steps for that lil extra juice :
1)Root(obvious )
2) download greenify (a must-have by oasis feng)and greenify almost all apps(including games) expect some messaging apps(apps shown with gcm logo in greenify) ,,,and if you want to get that lil extra minutes then go for the donation version of greenify, it lets you greenify some system apps to....also don't kill apps with appkillers(real battery hog)
3) Switching Stamina mode On(especially after the 4.2.2 update)...and carefully selecting only "most needed" apps to be excluded (if you don't want to break notifications)
4)download startup manager..and disable all unwanted apps at startup
5)remove all unwanted bloatware and battery saving apps(they usually do nothing to save your battery,instead they run in background and eatup your battery)
6) no under-clocking, no over-clocking
7) maintain a healthy battery charge history ( don't charge unless battery is less then 20%.,,then charge without interrupting to 100%(don't keep it charging for to long if it reaches 100%,,this will over-charge the battery)
8 ) If you're on 4.2.2 ,,surely you're facing the battery bug,which is really dangerous for the battery (because it bring the battery % down to zero ,without giving you a chance to reach your charger)....So to fix this you'll need to recalibrate your battery by downloading easy battery calibration from playstore (I've calibrated my battery and fixed the bug )...the app will guide you how to calibrate the battery(easy)
9 ) Don't use the "trickle charging" method recommended by some battery saver apps...I've used that method and it shows no improvement in battery life instead it'll drain the battery in a very strange manner ("modern"Li-on batteries should not be trickle charged Google it if you need more info on this subject)
10) some suggest under-volting...it'll surely get you that extra "precious minutes" but you must be brave enough to try that out..
Use this tricks and you'll definitely notice improved juice
If you'll like to add more "tested tweaks" to this guide let me know...
More tweaks and tricks for a better battery going to be updated soon(as soon as I'll test and confirm them)...

Undervolting is effortless and harmless, so is underclocking.

Very nice and welcome tips. Thanks a lot mate.
Thanks. Lower the number of widgets you use helps a bit too.
What does the stamina mode do exactly ? I like to to toggle everything myself to be sure nothing is left behind (Data, Wifi, Gps, NFC, Syncing (apps/widgets/accounts), Bravia engine, Brightness...)
VERY happy with my great battery life ! Rooted, battery calibrated and never use stamina since I control manually. But if stamina does everything I do mamually then ill use.

I don't know if anybody has noticed this but there's no hibernate now widget for greenify I'm wondering why the xperia home launcher won't allow it but nova and others recognize it :/ I also complained on the app market to the developer in hopes that they notice and fix it by some chance.

Thanks for the tips. Applied most of em mentioned. Just wondering if sony used batteries similar to the note 2. We could use our phones much efficiently upto a couple of days
Javascript
Hey you might like this, I noticed that using the browser uses loads of power. Apparently javascript in the browser uses a lot of battery (search google for "Who Killed My Battery: Analyzing Mobile Browser Energy Consumption"). I've turned off js by going to Chrome, Menu, Settings, Content Settings. Hopefully this will eke out the battery a little bit more!
Hope this helps
Edit: After just a day of js turned off, I'm already finding some websites insist on it being turned on, which is annoying. I had hoped js would be more optional, but for some web designers it seems to be required. Oh well.
Nice try... Do you know if other browsers can be a way around ?

Download this official rom http://csmgdl.lgmobile.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=FW157986573210987654321/E980H10A_01.kdz
Note its Jelly bean and will convert your E980 to a E980H, i dont think that makes any differences personally
so i used this guide and flashed it http://lg.storagecow.eu/?page_id=12
tweaks i did and highly recommended.
1. Root using universal root http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2362657
2. use Titanium backup to remove/freeze unwanted apps
3. Use greenify to force sleep apps that cause wakelocks ( Greenify is free app in the market)
4. Use Xposed + Gravity box to tweak looks + add data traffic counter and double tap to sleep
5. Enabled eco mode for Quad core ( in settings )
I am seeing battery life thats just amazing , 1 % battery loss overnight while asleep , this is my goto rom until official KK is out
Plus max internal storage available, free ram is about 800-900 mb on boot , that could be bettered, but im quite happy overall
This gave me far better performance and battery life as compared to the KK leaks out there, and oh yea no bugs like the speakerphone not working Ive posted in General as this isnt a custom rom per se, just the official unbranded with my tweaks.
Greenify is one of the most popular app known for increasing battery backup and performance by freezing apps
So iam sharing this app today

HIT THANKS OF I HELPED [COLOR]
full version coming soon unlocked with xtra features
Hey guys ..hii...I'm gonna show u how to get battery life from your device ..I personally suggest u to use this method coz it worked for me ...the process Is found in #post2
For that u need to install xposed (don't ask what is xposed!if u don't know that just don't try this ) [email protected] and greenify(xposed module /app) [email protected] oasisfeng ,amplify and powernap( become a beta tester on g+ community and download), but hope it works fine just install/flash and check the stats using BBS ( install it as a system app and proceed )
And amplify (will control wakelocks that drain the battery ...works on xposed[emoji14]And in MM based ROMs there is a feature called aggressive doze in greenify so better backup for MM ROMs ....(but our device won't support due to lack of significant motion sensor ) U can do that in greenify ..tap right corner three dot bar and select settings ...u can find there .....and works on any kk/lp/MM ROMs...tested and got around 1% battery drain (me)overnight Hit thanks if helped:thumbup:
Use wakelock detector and amplify to control wake locks and see which apps causing much and greenify it

The kernel that comes with CM13 works reasonably well. A few things can cause excessive battery drain and its not just the kernel that is at fault. We don't know all the settings and installed apps of the people who have claimed long battery life for their phones after flashing this rom or that kernel, or even if their testing methods are reliable and can be compared with others. So any claims about long battery life is very suspect.
Google services has always had a big problem with power drain because of bugs. Google's location data gathering is not only bad for privacy but for draining power as well. And many free apps tend to use too many non-related permissions and they may misuse google play services which also drains power. So the easiest thing is install the bare minimum of google apps (start with google pico package) and use xprivacy to tighten up permissions. I think nothing can be can be done with rogue apps that use google play services.

What do you use your phone for if you don't install google play and gapps? Many people including some reputable posters liked Kairi's Xcelerate for increasing battery life but there isn't a version yet for MM. You could try the God's kernel which works with CM13 but it looks buggy from the looks of things.
I doubt any kernel (Xcelerate included) can instantly transform the redmi 1s and give it good battery life. 4-5 hours of SOT is reasonably good and believable. Claims of 12-16 hours otoh......
