Better battery and performance

So, as much I hate to admit, Nokia X2 don't really have an extraordinary battery. Hence, I was looking for something that can legitimately give my battery a boost. And I found 'L Speed'. It just works. I'm a heavy user so my battery used to survive 7-10 hrs with constant use, now its 12 to 15 hrs :victory: Furthermore it also gave me performance boost. No lagging anymore. Of course as with every root app you gotta be careful. So don't just enable all the options. First read the official L speed thread then decide. But I gotta say I'm totally amazed with this app.

How to use the Samsung Galaxy S III without a Battery! (With better support)

WARNING: Rewiring this wrong can possible ruin your phone, please do this at your own risk. Don't strip a wall charger unless it's voltage is as stated for highest input (by recommendation stated below) or somewhat lower than!

*This method may work on other models of the Samsung Galaxy S III

For those looking for a way to get their phone up and running without a charger may now do so, but before you start please pay attention to the importantinformation first.

Important Information:
An official Samsung battery for the Samsung Galaxy S III gives off power at 3.8 V at it's highest battery energy storage of 2100mAh (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battery_(electricity)), which mAh will not matter when connected to a computer
Samsung's official recommendation for a highest energy input to the phone via energy source (usually via battery) is 110 V to 240 V (image of an email sent from Samsung officially https://s31.postimg.org/gtosxozmj/Em...ng_Support.png)
USB 2.0 ports will only give off 100mA unless the device requests for more... up to 500mA (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB#Power)

You're going to need the following:

Materials
1. A usb cord of any kind that you're willing to cut up
*For those who are experienced, if you have wires already then make sure to have the vcc and gnd)
2. Some sort of device with a USB 2.0 port (not sure about 3.0, and 1.0 might not be enough) that gives off energy from a device such as a computer, gamingconsole, etc.
3. Electrical Tape (other tapes may work if they are nonelectric and have enough adhesive to stick)

Tools
1. Scissors
2. A wire stripper (the scissors may work, just be gentle)


Overview
First off we need to label some parts and describe what they are for (I'm pretty sure I have this right)




Now it's time to know where the wires will go (overview so don't do anything yet)...

Obviously we want the VCC pin connected with the VCC wire and the GND pin connected to the GND wire.
Then essentially the phone (when pressing the power button) should turn on...
*Sometimes the phone won't turn on/turns off after being on, this may be because of loose wires so just try to refold the wires onto the pins.

Steps
1. Make sure the back of the phone is open and ready
2. Use the scissors to gently cut off the outer part of the USB cord (make sure not to cut into the wires inside!)
3. Strip the ends of the VCC and GND wires by about a centimeter so we can use them on the pins
4. Connect the wires to the pins
A. Loop the exposed VCC wire through the VCC pin and fold it back to tape to phone (make sure it's not
touching any other metal)
B. Repeat step 4 A for the GND wire and GND pin.
5. Test your phone by turning it on... if it works then welcome

Proof of it working (sorry for the bad quality, only had an old 3DS to record with):
Instead of haveing it plugged in a computer I had a different power source called the PocketJuice (http://tzumi.com/manuals/Solo2000mAh.pdf) which supplies a bit more power than a USB 2.0 port
(I made sure before I used my power bank that it had an okay voltage, so don't go testing your portable power banks unless you listened to the warning at the very top of the post)

(didn't remember that I had internet on so that's why the first game I tested didn't load and the PocketJuice is visible after 1:39)

Do you think that 1+3 is better than a S6

I don't know If it's a good option to consider.

Nexus 10 Quick Charge and Better Battery (App+Rom and Rom analysis)

Im using this method. Charging time definitely decreasing and Battery life increasing. Its better than CM13, RemixOS 2.0 and Latest stock 5.1.1 rom.

- CM13 has a too much bloatware. This apps eating battery.
- RemixOS 2.0 not optimized. We cant manage running apps. Battery killer rom.
- Latest Stock 5.1.1 Rom always shows a black status bar and virtual buttons. Its not good for videos. Battery side, it doesnt have Marshmallow ram management and Doze mode. Charging time takes too much time then OmniRom.

1- Install Latest OmniRom 6 (Im using 30/06/2016)
https://omni.cmxlog.com/6/manta/
2- Root it and Install Adaway v3 block all ads's. (After this unroot the device)
3- Install Avast Battery Saver (Disable Notifications)
Choose Smart Mode

Thats all. Now you have;
- Better Battery life
- Less Charging time
- Faster Web browsing

No more wakelocks. No more anormal discharging battery. No more long charging times.

[PnP&Thermals tweak] Customized profiles for battery saving and/or better performance

Addon was originally only available on Venom HUB but i decided to release it for everyone to use.Here is copy paste of description and changelogs from the HUB.I will update thread as i update it on HUB.
Also big thanks to @hamdir for testing my performance profile on various games, he will also post later hes review, pictures and comparisons to stock.

Quote:

This addon is designed to save some extra battery, and reduce heat.Magic is done in 2 files: 1:Thermal-engine is tweaked in order to provide much better sustained performance and cooler phone, without big impact on performance. 2:Pnp file is another key component, its HTCs CPU/GPU/EMMC/MODEM and many more control engine.Here many tweaks where done, but gonna quickly list some of the important ones: -Per app control, automatically suspends 2 BIG cores, and runs on 2 low power ones, it also limits the GPU speed to lowest.This will do only for some most commonly used apps, like Sense Prism, Nova launcher, Apex, other HTC apps, various chat programs(hangouts, facebook, messanger, whatsap etc), YouTube and some more.. as those apps dont require a lot power. -Screen off is set to 2 low power cores for nice standby times -Power saver is tweaked to actually save some power and not just lower screen brightness -Extreme powersaver is also tweaked down to save even more power -Input boost frequencies are also lowered (CPU ramps up moment you touch screen) -And alot of other minor tweakups.. Also its recommended not to change anything CPU/GPU related in any other apps, like EX and just let this files do the job for you. If for some reason you dont like this mod or have any problems with it, installer includes revert to stock option :)

Read more info in changelogs below.

Concrete Facts on How to Rank Your App Better

Hey guys, just wanted to give a few tips on how to promote your app on the app store.

First off try and adding an extra word to your title about the description of your app, but NOT category. If you are posting on android app store then make sure you have you keywords mentioned in the description. You should also have a video, it can greatly effect your download rate as well as reviews. Don't forget that your screenshots needs to stand out among others and be attractive to the viewers.
If you need any additional help or services, www .app-alpha. com is here to assist you.

Kind Regards to everyone, wish you all the best with your projects.

best miui for better ram management??

Guys i wanted to know amoung miui 5 ,6,7,......which has the best ram management??just got my 1s

GPS could be better?

The GPS on my HTC 10 does work but I'm wondering if it could be better? I also have a 4 year old RAZR M (Motorola) and side by side test indoors the RAZR M gets a stronger signal and lock on sooner and more accurately.

The HTC 10 works fine outside, but a RAZR M should not beat a HTC 10.

Latest software, Viper ROM

And the gps.conf file is updated to a high performance config. Which did make it better outside.

Am I missing something?

Hello people, as i dig into some information about phone build prop settings and the samsung framework i found some interesting info

https://zapek.com/blog/how-to-make-y...-4-fast-again/
