Best battery life and performance.

Hey all. Just wanted to get some input on getting the best bang for your buck when it comes to battery life. Though I've never been one for task killers and battery saver apps, recently I've been testing out a few different apps. Avast (uninstalled as I've never seen the need for anti virus on Android personally), Battery Doctor, CleanMate (I think It was called) and a few other battery saver apps. However, I cant seem to come to a conclusion on whether they help or hinder. Or if I'm even using them right.
The thing is they all seem to tell me different, conflicting info so I can't really make heads or tails out of it. They all seem to tell me different apps are running in the background and all suggest I do different things like kill apps, clear cache, free up memory, etc. What I have always used is system panel to kill a malfunctioning app if needed, cachemate, and SetCPU to underclock when the device is not in use. Now I am on a stock ROM with root and dont have a kernel that supports over/under clocking.
So I was just wondering what any of you guys to to both increase performance and save battery. Some kind of balancing act. And I don't want my experience to suffer, ex- I like my screen bright so am not going to turn it down to 30%. Stuff like that. I am kind of with the thinking that I should just use my tablet and let the system do its own thing, but then I kinda get that ocd thing going and want to have total control. So anyway, would love to hear what you guys think and use. Also, i would love love love to try out tasker but am unemployed and broke so that cant happen anytime soon. Thanks.

Out of curiosity, how long does your Note 8.0 last?

You know, I couldn't really tell you right now. I inherited it from a friend about a week ago. He thought it was bricked and junk. I just loaded up some stock firmware, rooted it and since it's new to me I have been playing around with it lots so haven't experienced "normal use" yet. I wasn't really asking because I thought the battery was bad, but I just like to have total control and wondered what everyone was doing these days. I used to be big in the android scene, as a power user not a dev or anything, but have been out of the game for awhile. So far the battery seems to be really good when it's on standby or say if I have spotify running or netflix or playing an audiobook. But it seems to drain pretty fast when im using it more actively- emailing, switching to facebook, switching to internet etc. Again, I'm not really having battery problems, and it's a new tablet to me, but I just wanna stay ahead of the game. Sorry I can't give you any numbers right now, but I'm sure you understand.

Do a search about battery.. there are a dozen threads in the Q&A thread.
I am a minimalist and don't like any so claimed Battery Booster, Battery Enhancer, or Battery Calibrator apps that are all over the google play apps site. Most of the time I leave power saver on, and have most all sync settings and apps set to automatically update and poll info and retrieve email. As I do not like to jump through hoops to get some thing to operate as expected.
Security 360 does a great job with antivirus and memory consumption with apps. You may think that you may not need an Antivirus, but this one thoroughly checks apps if you decide to turn off Google's app checking, or use private party apps from forums or developers linking them to sites.
I use Xposed framework, mainly because of the ability to turn off functions without needing to install a custom ROM. I have been there done that and am not impressed with custom ROM of any type, over stock.
Turning off DVFS, thumbnail cache, and leaving Boost Mode alone as it is defaulted off... Is my primary setting with Winam Xposed module.
I use the app Greenify, Substrate, and its experimental plugin to Xposed. It has some nice features to complement Security 360.
Since Google has corrected some issues with some of its apps, and a few other apps have updated recently. I get 2% drain with 12 hours of standby.
Also under normal use, I get 8 to 9% drain per hour, and 6% per hour browsing.
For speed improvements, I have a 633X SD card that has been tested around 93MB/S and 44MB/s write on my laptop, there are some rated double but are about less in real life performance.
I use TweaksterMod Pro from my past custom ROM experiences, only to boost read a head cache to double the default. This only helps with super fast SD cards, the slower the SD card or having congested internal RAM the boost must be greatly increased.
With online video and media, I get about 12% per hour drain doing both streaming and miracasting to tv.

update to 4.4.2 and battery calibrate resulted in 30hr+ battery life
good to read from you andr0id23 and gooberdude. I'm a little sensitive from my battery. since I bought two n5100 for me and my sister,I compare them in many aspects like performance,physical keys (volume,home,..) quality,battery life,... first I thought there's a problem with my battery.I used to test a lot of apps (some you mentioned,battery doctor,task killer,clean master,..) on my 4.1.2 stock ROM.the result was disappointing. my note hardly lasted for 8 hours with normal use (browsing,email checking,no games).it was better on my sister's tablet.
so I updated to 4.4.2 stock rom. things were like before UNTIL i did a battery calibrate.using a method almost like this link.by deleting battery stats after full charge.
I've attached the result.
notice that i have done a full wipe before update and i don't have that tones of app from 4.1.2.only the stock bloatwares and 25 harmless apps and games.this is the best result.the battery was so stubborn to live on its last 3 percent. approximately 3 hours on 1 present and the turned off.

misunderstanding some terms
gooberdude you made it nice but I just didn't get some of these thing you said.would you please explain more?

OK, if you rooted...
I recommend getting Xposed Framework installed, then install Wanam Exposed. It has a ton of mods to adjust about anything. Though depending on model and firmware, some stuff wont work.
If you want minimal... you can get Wanam Disable DVFS... Samsung's Touchwiz has a feature to assist with games called Dynamic Voltage File System. It seems to be the root of the evil with samsung devices. Google has made it clear that battery calibration tools don't do anything to calibrate the battery. By clearing the battery stats file, all you are doing is a temporary patch. DVFS does not play well with Androids battery stats, and corrupts the data for stats, thus giving bad battery status. Once DVFS is disabled, android will properly calibrate the status of the battery. It may take a few charge cycles or manual deletion of the battery stats file and a reboot.
Again if you root, you may want to add RootCloak to allow apps from detecting root. It does it automatically once you select the troubled app. It requires Substrate and allows you to click on a link to install. Once substrate is installed it will allow rootcloak to function properly
Saferoot.zip search for it in the note 8.0 threads... I placed my copy as a file in one of the requests.
It will allow a proper root without having to flash. So no need for triangle away unless you plan on a custom ROM.
If you use saferoot, you can always upgrade to 4.4.x at a later time without having to unroot or do any trickery.
Play is messed up... never worked right on my tablet, both with stock ROM or custom ROMs
Play music does not like a large amount of media on SD storage, let alone full Mp3tags... can't handle the data or just too many files.Also music does not stop when you reboot. after some time it starts up and plays again. Gallery is messed up with image caching. So I used Wanam to disable scroll cache. I use Nokia Music Player as it is the most robust player that is small and works well on a tablet.
Freezing google music will keep battery consumption down if you have a lot of media. as I have over 4,000 files and if any one of them has an odd character in the name, the media server goes ape and cycles a lot of CPU time into trying to index. Thus sucking power like it is cheap gas.
My sig shows what a stock ROM is capable with just a few add on apps to help get things sorted out with battery power. Right now I am in a fight with Security 360... they boogered up the app with Soccer Ads in splash screens during boot and starting the app. Other wise it is an excellent app for what it does. I use it to clean out krapp that usually is not monitored by other cleaning apps, and to tweak boot blocking apps and apps that are running in background after wake up.
Greenify works fine but you may find security 360 an added app cleaner for sleep / wakeup cycles.

great user
mmm.it worthed more than a simple thanks to me.
by the way you use it in a good way.it s about 1gb of used ram on start up for me.and 970 when killed processes.
I'll try those you mentioned.seems very usefull

have a look on this topic.it for galaxy tabs but I guess it works on Note 8 too,although it is on your own risk(seems no risk,nothing gets worth than current state )

additionally,as I'm searching on batteries a few days,i found that there are different fuel chips out there.so we must do fuel gauge calibration method that fits our chip.If you found that please describe it here.

Thermals and Kernel Managers

Thermals, Kernel Managers and their affect on short and long term battery life.
As requested, by fellow LePro 3 owners, I created this thread for a discussion on the benefits of thermal management, using manual thermal settings, and sharing flashable thermals and user settings. To be clear I am not yet an expert on this subject, so I am learning along with everyone else. But, why not share the experience?
Of course we want our phones to last, while also pushing them to their limits, but in a safe and efficient manner. Recently our developers have shared their ideas on thermal management, and they have been gracious enough to allow us access to their own settings, that can be used across multiple builds. See the link below to download the first set of flashable thermal management options.
Recently, some of us have encountered shutdown issues, with some roms having battery stats reporting issues, unexpected shutdowns, and unrelated unrelated lockscreen issues. We users have found that often these troubled builds can be fixed by flashing a fix. Such as the thermals from a previous or other builds that did not have the same issue. Fortunately, it appears that we can use alternate perf and thermal management files that have not only offered a quick fix for some of these current issues, but also offers a longterm solution for using old, new, and future roms builds...collectively. :good:
The plan is to make this discussion much more extensive and simple
So consider this initial post to be an ever changing rough draft.
The end goal is to make it much easier for people to access and share their thermal management files or settings in one easily found central location, and hopefully for everyone to share their suggestions along the way
Helpful to Gamers who want safe power and speed.
Helpful to Non-Gamer's who want simply want stable performance, long battery life
Help everyone by helping us learn to optimize our phones to last for the longterm.
For me, no more repeating the same stuff over and over on various Rom threads, or private messages. No more having trouble digging through threads to find a recommended thermal or setting. So please participate, we can keep the OP updated whenever anything new comes along. Should I get access to something new I will add it to the Megadrive and make a post
Inventory
So far we have the thermals from Lineage, AEX, Balkan, AICP, EUI and in my view one the best is the latest by Jabashque. The idea of this post is to share the thermal settings so that they can be used on whichever ROM you want to try out.
Finally, you do not necessarily need to use these thermals unless you have an issue with general usage, heat or battery life. However, you will immediately notice the benefits.
Edit ( Updated Info)
Regarding kernels: Personally, I use BlackScreen 6.3, it has a long list of governors and I like options.
Currently the best thermal option is the Jabashque edit ( Thermal Fix 7 ) Get it Here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78717015&postcount=18
These thermals work!
Over the past 2 weeks, I have gone back and tried several old ROMs, and these thermal and profiles make those old Roms perform so much better! For example, the September 3rd JMXL version of DotOS.: Yes, Its outstanding with the Sergey thermal. BootLegger's is also much improved, and it was already pretty great as it was. The Miui ROMs, are significantly improved by far! etc.
Of course we have so many great Roms. Occasionally, we get a build that is experimental and it may have unexpected issues. We have seen over the past week that flashing an alternate thermal is a perfect way to save the installation without having to revert to an earlier build. I mentioned old Roms above, they also work on every single Pie Rom.
Here is My Mega Drive Link for all of Thermals that I have collected so far

Jabasque's thermals are in the Jabashque folder. Version 1 and 2 :
Probably shouldn't result in any difference if not gaming.
"Most likely, it would only be noticeable if you're not throttled down to 1440/1900MHz and you're running something that's using 100% cpu" ( Jabashque)
What to use
If you are wanting long battery life and low temperatures use Sergey's thermal or JaBashque version 1
If you want stock EUI faster throttling but slightly higher temps use the ShivateJappedi EUI thermal.
If you want to leave your cores unchanged from the default setting with higher temp throttling, more full power access and yet still safe while use JaBashque 6 Its a rework of the EUI 30s thermals designed to work better on modern Pie Roms : See more information here: https://review.lineageos.org/c/LineageOS/android_device_leeco_zl1/+/238809
Soon, I will create a post in the reserved section below to deeply define the details and differences between these thermals. Because while they all have similarities, they are also very different from one another.
In addition, I plan to add various kernel manager settings for various uses : Gaming, Long Life etc.
Finally, even when moving to another Rom. kernel manager programs such as Ex Kernel Manager will allow you to import and use saved profiles. It seems that it is possible to save the best of each of these thermals by saving the profiles of each. We can share those settings! Then later you can manually choose within your kernel manager which settings you want to use by simply importing choosing a preferred profile.
I hope this clears up the confusion. As mentioned this is a work in progress that was requested by 3 people. This is just the beginning of this discussion that will help everyone understand how to use Kernel Managers and the add-on thermals patches. I need to do some further research to make it all worthwhile . For example, although I love the elementalX governor, I haven't researched it enough to explain why I think it's better. So I plan to find out specifically what it's actually doing vs what other governors do, and how does changing sample rates, and wake locks affect performance and battery life etc.
If there are any experts out there? Please chime in and contribute.
See Updated information from Jabashque, which explains the differences between patch 1 and patch 2
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=78670166&postcount=2
Installation
Dirty flash the patch that you want to use..thats it.
If you want to try a different patch, dirty flash the Rom, reflash Magisk and dirty flash the patch
You can manually adjust settings by going to /vendor/etc/thermal-engine.conf

Update from JaBashque Edit April 21 2019: ( I use ThermalFix7, its my personal favorite/ it is the best and the safest period.)
@tsongming
Hey, after seeing your thread about thermals, I felt I should write an explanation about how my v1 and v2 differ from stock EUI thermals that you could add to that forum post, since the one you have on there was me describing the difference between v1 and v2, not stock EUI: "JaBashque"
There are two different set of sensors that the original config monitors for the CPU:
the CPU temp sensors (tsens_tz_sensor{4,6,9,11}) and xo_therm_buf. The CPU temp sensors measure the temps of the cores themselves. xo_therm_buf measures what seems to be some sort of overall temperature, though I'm not sure what in particular. However, xo_therm_buf does correlate more directly with how hot your phone feels.
Original:
thermal-engine rapidly throttles your CPU down to 902MHz on the little cores and 825MHz on the big cores when any one of the cores hits 95C, and stops only when the hottest core drops back to 65C. When xo_therm_buf gets to 43C, thermal-engine slowly throttles all your cores to 902MHZ little and 825MHz big until xo_therm_buf drops back to 40C.
Patchset 1:
thermal-engine rapidly throttles your CPU down to 902MHz on the little cores and 825MHz on the big cores when any one of the cores hits 85C, and stops only when the hottest core drops back to 65C. When xo_therm_buf gets to 37C, thermal-engine throttles all your cores to 1440MHZ little and 1900MHz big until xo_therm_buf drops back to 34C. When xo_therm_buf gets to 43C, thermal-engine throttles all your cores to 1132MHZ little and 1363MHz big until xo_therm_buf drops back to 40C. When xo_therm_buf gets to 50C, thermal-engine throttles all your cores to 979MHZ little and 1132MHz big until xo_therm_buf drops back to 43C.
Patchset 2:
thermal-engine throttles your CPU down to 1516MHz on the little cores and 2054MHz on the big cores when any one of the cores hits 95C, and stops only when the hottest core drops back to 65C.
This change was made because I realized that the previous version still had a situation where the CPU performance can tank unpredictably. xo_therm_buf-related CPU throttling is same as Patchset 1.
Thanks to JaBashque for sharing his work! Patch-set 2 is my personal preference. Although the Sergey Perf + Combo is also very good.

@tsongming
Thank you very much for listen us and always give your help.
Rigth now I am on BaikalOS 28th December 2018, if I want to flash any Profile of those, what I should to do (Clean flash? This first, later that etc... and Wich of them I should ti flash for best battery, I do not play on movil)
I am very curious for test this...

I have x722, I do not play. I am now on aex 5.7 oreo. The most depends on the battery, so which zip to flash ? This is a great topic.

You can dirty flash these thermals.
Personally I like Sergey and Jabashque version 2 the best so far on Pie roms.
The Shivate patch works really well on Marshmallow, Nougat and Oreo.
The Sergey patch works really well on Oreo and Pie, I haven't tried it on Nougat Roms yet.
You can manually adjust settings by going to /vendor/etc/thermal-engine.conf and In this same folder ( vendor/etc) you can also make audio changes, and I am not talking about policies and Tasha.xml files, although you would make changes to those files too, if wanted. This will be something that we can discuss in more detail soon.

Either the Sergey or the JaBashque 2 with be perfect, depending on what you want.
Use Sergey if your goal is battery saving.
Use JaBashque 2 if you want better gaming performance.

@tsongming thank you for this useful thread. I just have one question. I noticed that sergey's thermal file you uploaded comes also with perf so do you know is it maybe EUI perf and if not is it possible to upload just sergey's thermal without perf? Thanks.

I'm using aex 6.2 and i play a lot of games, but i looking for something that gives the power to run the games and after that (of course after some time without using the cellphone to cooldown) use the phone without worry of him overheat with simple use like 39 or 37 ºC. Do you have something like that?
I have a x722

Sure, I can extract the perf, I will do that and add it to a separate folder so that there are two options.
Edit: Here is the Sergey thermal only
I removed the perf and added the additional key edit options from the Jabashque patch. So this a combo patch.
Use at your own risk
However, I have tested this and it works fine. I wanted to give the caveat that I am a Noob at this! But its okay. FYI: all I did was remove the perf, so now the perf will come from the rom and I added the Moshe key feature, which some Roms such as AICP includes anyway.

If you are not having any issues, then don't install any of these.
However, if you want to try it, keep a record of your existing performance, battery life, heat levels for battery and CPU (when idle) and compare that against using these thermals.
If you flash one of these thermals and don't like it. You can quickly return to your previous settings by dirty flashing your rom, or by restoring the system part of a nandroid backup.

So which one of the 5 thermals did you try? Some of them include perf
Understand that you still have to setup your kernel manager. If you are wanting to use it for Gaming use the JaBashque version 2 to and leave the cores on the highest setting.
Yes, it works. It works for me a and a lot of other people on Telegram
If you want low temperatures and long battery life underclock the cores at idle my battery hovers around 85 F and the CPU are around 100-105F
Just so you know you can access your thermal.conf file and edit it manually to increase your thermal limit in /vendor/etc/thermal-engine.conf
Next, save a copy of your existing current setup as a profile, so you can easy switch from one to another with ease and easily compare it to the changes of using an alternative file. You can tweak it to the settings that you are wanting...Just keep safety in mind or you could burn up your CPU.

UpDate!
@jabashque has spent time recently improving his thermals further, and released several new versions .
The latest and greatest is now version 6!

Sorry I haven't been on XDA much recently, and never received the notification.
If you use Bootleggers, the stock kernel is fine. But blackScreen 6.3 will work fine and it gives you more options. You flash the thermal at anytime. I recommend the Thermal-fix7 which is Jabashque 6 that I edited to fix a typo. No there is no conflict

Reducing the battery drain

Hi,
My battery gives me around 6 hours of SoT and standby time around 16-18 hours with no gaming, using only internet browsing and social media for the most part.
From what I can see, the idle battery drain is not too bad if the phone is on doze, but the phone is not on doze most of the time during the day.
Also the active battery drain is high.
Any tips on making this better?
I'm on OOS Open Beta 8, on an Op7T with locked bootloader. The issue was same with the latest OOS stable.
Thanks!!

Run Naptime with Google Play Services dozed, run Servicely and block all apps you don't need, install Kirisakura Kernel from the OP7 Pro thread, disable sync when you don't need it, and set the max gpu freq to 585 MHz. You should be able to pull a maximum of 12hrs SOT... It obviously depends on what you're doing. I'm on OB8 as well.
Edit: I'm using Franco Kernel Manager as well, a bunch of the tweaks I suggested can easily be done through there, I highly recommend purchasing it!
Edit 2: https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...el-kirisakura-1-0-0-op7-pro-aka-t3933916/amp/
Here's a link to Kirisakura Kernel, it needs a couple of magisk mods alongside it to work correctly, make sure to read the thread and install those as well.

Thank you for the advice, man but I'm not rooted..

Hey
Thank you so much for the advice.
I'm sorry I didn't mention it in the main thread that I'm not rooted. Do you have any ideas that don't require root or an unlocked bootloader?
By the way, I'll definitely try the root tweaks after my warranty expires, I had purchased FK Manager for my previous device.

Yeah, both naptime and servicely can be run without root.
Also, unlocking your bootloader doesn't void the warranty on OnePlus devices

Battery life emui 10 vs 11

Anyone noticed a decline from 10 to 11.
I cannot speak for the mate 20 x but I was a p30 pro user before and it had a huge impact on my battery, also speaks volumes as its all over the xda forum emui 11 battery drain on 11.0.0.140
They have just got an update to. 147
Reason I ask is since having the phone the battery is 91 percent on accubattery and all I've known is emui 11, I'm only getting sot or 6/7 hours on WiFi, no gaming
Just YouTube, chrome, fb and reddit

I got the mate 20 x and I'm on the Feb patch of 138. Hopefully 140 comes soon.

I've been on 140 for a few weeks now, how's your average screen on time with usage

Did you buy this phone used? It's possible that your phone is used/refurbished without you knowing it!
Many 3rd party resellers have actually been guilty of selling phones of such they repackage as brand new at the expense of the consumer unfortunately. This happened to a friend of mine who bought a "brand new, never opened" (note the quotes) mate 20x from ebay. He was quick to notice that it was anything but brand new. This could probably be you in your case.
But there are very good battery cases that work very well in extending battery life of the 20x. I happen to own one which in addition to the native battery of the 20x, extends battery to 6 - 10 days on medium handling between charges. This is the one I have, check it out if you like it:

No. I got it to just extend my battery which was very good already.

when comparing SOT its extremely important to check your system settings and types of usage. screen brightness is the biggest battery eater, so i usually keep mine at around 25% unless absolutely necessary (i.e. direct sunlight). also, as mentioned above, games and social media apps will use additional power. add to that all the sensors (wifi, bt, gps, nfc, etc.) that u best switch off whenever u dont need them. another trick is to limit mobile data speed to 3G, saves additional energy.
last but not least: use hibernation apps like hibernator or greenify and be sure to go through app settings to block apps from using background data / auto launch / access options that are not really necessary.
with all that in mind, im easily getting 15 hours SOT on average calculated based on a full charging cycle (100-0%). naturally, your mileage may vary depending on the above items and your particular usage cases. my main usage patterns consist of mostly web surfing, media consumption (yt, local video, bt audio), whatsapp and some shopping apps, google searches and gallery/camera usage on the side.
as for emui 10 vs. 11 i have actually noticed a slight improvement in sot. however, i switched several of my main usage apps during that time and adjusted my system settings, as well. so cannot say how much of an impact emui by itself had in that. all in all id guess theyre actually pretty similar. be that as it may, i usually block any and all unneeded huawei system apps from running so any changes in system apps might not affect me as much as the next guy...

Lol dude you dont get 15 hrs sot. the most i seen was 9 hrs.

um, yes i do just read my previous post for my adjusted settings. pretty straightforward, actually.
For additional references, just look at 20x reviews:
Review 1 - 12+ hours SOT: https://www.techradar.com/sg/reviews/huawei-mate-20-x-review/2
Review 2 - 12-14 hours SOT: https://www.androidauthority.com/huawei-mate-20-x-review-963078/
so with a few extra tweaks, 15 hours is no problem whatsoever. as mentioned before, in the end it depends heavily on your system settings and usage patterns.

Something is not right here. So what do you do to your phone that you claim gets 12 hours sot time. Do you also do adb to tweak it also? Like disabling apps with adb to improve battery?

Just to follow upon what you said, i got some questions for you;
- So I downloaded hibernator. Which system apps did you hibernate?
- You said to block apps from using access options that are not necessary. What do you mean by access options?
- How do i switch from 4g to 3g?
- What unnecessary apps did you disable through adb?

Happy to help.
- Hibernator: Let me get back to you on that, its quite a long list haha. I basically included all apps that dont pop up regularly when using specific system functions. So basically just hibernate once after boot and done.
edit: attached zip with screenshots of all the hibernated system apps.
- App access options: By that I mean in the system settings under "Apps", check all permissions for all apps and set only the ones u really need and use. Also check App Auto-Launch options as well as Battery Optimization of Apps (can find all of those via the search function). It's a bit tedious to set everything up, but u only need to do it once at the start and afterwards just every time u install and set up a new app.
- 4G to 3G: Settings / Mobile Network / Mobile Data / Preferred network mode / Set "3G/2G auto"
- disable unnecessary apps via adb: that depends on your preferences and usage cases. but as a rough guideline, i followed this thread here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide-spreadsheet-remove-system-apps-through-adb.3870727/

cant give you any estimates on the SOT or general battery life before that, since i did it pretty much right away even before setting it up with my own apps

Here you go, managed to find my notes (see attached). have a look at the two included worksheets.

General Post your configuration and experience of Stock/Custom roms that you daily drive here.

Purpose
I have been jumping from one UI to gsi's to back to one UI. I just want to know what are yall experiences with different roms and maybe stock one UI and what mods/workarounds or apps do you use to solve problems. Any custom kernel etc. I'll start with mine here
My Current Configuration:
(i edit this op when i switch a gsi or attempt further mods)
OS: YAAP GSI
Device: SM-A325F
Firmware version: A325FXXS4DWD4
Rooted with KernelSU.
Using OrangeFox from here.
Mods:
1. Custom kernel:
I made my own permissive custom kernel from A325FXXS3CWB3 Samsung's source from here.
It has a lot of changes which include removing entire security and knox debloat as it is not used in GSI.
It also has changed default ram compressor to lz4 instead of lzo-rle which should be faster.
I have tested this kernel on A325FXXU3DWB8, A325FXXU2CWA6, A325FXXU2CVK3.
It also boots on one UI.
It was possible all thanks to @KrutosVIP and his amazing work here.
You can download it from here.
Just flash it in twrp with no additional steps required. Make sure to backup boot in case it doesn't boot.
NOTE: i switched to my kernelsu kernel which is available here on a32 threads. it still offers the same features but it has kernelsu
2. Penguin Gcam and FreeDcam:
I currently use Penguin Gcam from here.
It includes needed features. The only thing broken is slow motion.
I use FreeDcam Inorder to get access to all the other cameras including Ultra wide, depth sensor and macro camera. It works great. The only problem as of my writing on this thread is that changing the ISO manually crashes the app.
Fortunately @uluruman has created the files and presets for this app which work amazingly. You can check it out from here.
You can check out FreeDcam on the F-Droid store from here or on github from here.
3. Workarounds in Phh settings
Samsung Features:
1. Enable extended brightness range (fixes brightness issues)
2. Double tap to wake (optional. But you can use it if you like)
3. Enable access to all cameras (Important for FreeDcam)
4. Enable extra sensors
Misc Features:
1. Use alternate way to detect headsets [fixes headphone jack] (Optional in roms built after or during march patch since they already include my overlay.)
2. Force FPS (set to your desired refresh rate) [i use 90] (NOTE: some gsi's have issue with this on android 13 firmware. There is no fix to this. Upgrade to march patch because project elixir seems to have this fixed on march spl. Or try switching to another gsi or downgrade firmware)
3. Force alternative backlight scale, Allow setting brightness to the lowest (needed to fix brightness bar)
4. Force Enable Camera2API HAL3 (To make FreeDcam work)
5. Force Disable AD2P offload (Fixes bluetooth audio for android versions 12 and below.)
6. On newer gsis Bluetooth is broken. To fix Enable Use systemwide bt hal.
Reboot after changing settings is recommended.
4. Magisk Modules
1. Audio Modification Library, Dolby Atmos from Moto G Pro (NOTE: Moto core is required for this.) [Just a dolby atmos port i like]
2. Fullscreen/Immersive Gestures (Q-T) (Removes keyboard space bar at bottom)
3. mindetach, Youtube Revanced Extended (Youtube revanced extended and to detach it from playstore which prevents updating.)
4. Safetynetfix MOD, Shamiko (Dealing with safetynet issues and bypassing root checks in applications)
5. LSPosed - Zygisk (Mostly to get broken face unlock back since broken face unlock on gsi's due to unknown issue with android 13 vendor.)
5. Xposed Modules
The only Xposed module i use is universalauth. Using this module i can get face unlock back on every gsi due to a unknown issue with android 13 firmware or vendor. It works reliably.
Note: It broke in android QPR1 so dev posted a custom xposed link here.
Its broken on QPR2 again. The current workaround is to disable auto dismiss lock screen in face unlock app.
If it happens on QPR updates just remember the workaround.
Since It is unable to download the apks for libraries. You need to download Moto face unlock from here.
Then import it.
To allow restricted settings go to app info of face unlock app. press three dots on top right and allow accessibility. Entered pin if prompted.
Enjoy face unlock.
Over all Experience:
I am happy with using it. Its super smooth. Bugs are of course expected in generic system images. But they are good enough to use daily. Gaming performance in some cases is amazing. Enabling allow higher fps in games in some roms like crdroid unlocks many settings. e.g. i could play cod at 90Fps at medium. The fps hovered around 60-90 fps. It was amazing. If you set the performance mode to performance in game space in roms that have it, It works amazingly. A game restart is required and it works. Actually bumps the fps by a lot. I still do switch from gsi's to gsi's since sometimes i get bored or the gsi lacks some important things. For now In my opinion using a GSI is far better than stock firmware for me. The gsi's i would recommend are crDroid, Elixir, Pixel Experience, EvolutionX, LineageOS (TD based)
you can find more GSI's from here.
Hoping to hear about what you use on your device and how your experience is.

For One UI users. i have a thread on floating tweaks which enable many features and small tweaks to help phone run a lil bit faster check it out from here

Another camera app which can use all the cameras is Open Camera. It is more convenient than FreeDCam, has almost all the same features and even more, for example HDR and panoramas, but unfortunately, like FreeDCam, cannot shoot video from extra cameras out of the box. I tried to edit the settings file manually but it didn't help as it did with FreeDCam, I suppose there should be something else fixed in the app itself, but still I'm going to try again editing the settings in the future.

I used it before. i actually got the cameras to work once. i dont know how. I ditched freedcam for it. But idk maybe after i switched roms or an update they broke again? i think if you look in info it says Only 2 cameras present. Our limited camera2api only shows 2 cameras. While freedcam forces to use the camera no matter what.
I may be wrong i saw something abt this somewhere.
Maybe downgrading to an older apk might help. But i sadly dont have enough time for that

I also recommend using No-frills CPU Control CLASSIC to lower the min CPU frequency to 500 MHz and set govenor to "shedutil" (if it's not already). Also set Android System battery usage to "Restricted" (Settings > Battery > Battery Usage > Android System). That should reduce the battery consumption in the doze mode.

So i just installed crdroid 9.2 looks like gms was going crazy in the bg eating my cpu. The fix i found is to run this command.

this seems to fix it and i dont see anything broken. I searched it and looks like this issue does happen for alot of users.

That's only if you're using a gapps version. I am using the vanilla version of LOS, so there are basically only two com.google.android.[something] packages in my system: com.google.android.apps.googlecamera.fishfood and com.google.android.networkstack.tethering.overlay
