hello guys... had been read through sweetrom threads in XDA. found out the developer suggested to install an apps/somthing call "3 minit battery".

Can someone explain more about this? What is this about? What purpose?

Oh! So it doesn't have any help in saving battery juice, am I right?!

Thanks thumbup.gif

One of the goodies that comes with the Sweet Rom is there are over 300 fonts to choose from.
Just saying.

If phone is rooted many ways to improve battery usage
If unrooted : check those app that need to refresh data as some are often at even 15 minutes. Just change the refresh time to your own convenience. Example is it necessary the weather widget info or any tweeter freds need updating  every 15 min?
Greenify pro is quite useless in unrooted phone but you can try ..use the pro version n not the free version
App such as DS battery saver, Juice Defender or Internet commander will help conserve battery drain in standby mode. IC is excellent in my unrooted G4. In standby mode over few hours with 3g/lte on drain is mainly zero n at times hit 1% only.
Disable BT, WiFi,  Sync n GPS if you don't need these
There are many other ways n too long to list ...just Google for tips.

Yea.. phn rooted and planning to flash sweetrom soon.

Definitely good information about save battery juice for those who still yet/unrooted *thumbs up*

I just tested my sis in law S6E (L5.1.1)and my N4 on Simpl rom - mine is faster smile.gif

faster in term of??

And one question before I flash Sweetrom, is Sweetrom must flash with custom kernel in order to get better battry life?

What kernel is come with Sweetrom actually? Stock kernel, right? If i stick with stock kernel, battery life will still better than stock rom + stock kernel, right?

Sweet rom comes with stock kernel
Battery life dependent on your usage
Battery life on this rom is better than stock rom
You can try custom kernel n tweak it for better battery life . Such stuffs I did only for the older gen phones n no longer for current phones as I find unnecessary.  The newer OS since kitkat has improved battery life greatly vs older firmwares
*
noted!

Still "studying" kernel and tweaking thingy. Last time were using s3, never bother of it but now feel it kinda interesting.

No doubt, latest model/firmware version is improving the battery life but I just want to try to maximize the battery usage, to see how long can the device last stand. flex.gif

You can try restoring TW home from your Titanium Backup if you have. Most users prefer a larger grid up to 5. Infact most custom roms has enlarged it to 5
Yes Wannam xposed is definitely compatible
Just try yourself any other mod to know better
Keep a nandroid backup just for security sake. Just restored back incase you face any continual reboot testing any mod.
*
Weird then. Already follow sweetrom thread in XDA:

=quote=
1. install "XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk" as a normal app. Don't use it yet.
2. Download "xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430-arter97-V3.zip" and flash in twrp recovery. Reboot. It takes ages and it will update all apps just like a clean install so be patient.
=unquote=

then install waman xposed but still not working.

Did you activate the wannam xposed module in xposed mod installer?
You need to run wannam xposed mod n choose what you need first
Go to framework of xposed mod select it n choose reboot
Download wannam xposed mod from playstore or you installed wannam xposed installer instead?? There are 2 different things. Dont install wannam installer if you had chosen arter97 installer
*
Erm..

Ok, below are what i did:

1- flashed sweetrom v14
2- install "XposedInstaller_3.0-alpha2.apk" as a normal app. Don't use it yet.
3- flash "xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430-arter97-V3.zip" in **CWM recovery. Reboot.
4- dl waman xposed from playstore
5- activate wamam xposed modules in xposed installer (checked wanam xposed). Reboot.
6- choose actions I wan in Waman Xposed (example: hide battery icon). Reboot again. <-- not working

second attempt:
1- re-activate wamam xposed modules. Reboot
2- choose actions I wan in Waman Xposed (example: hide battery icon).
3- go to xposed installer, Framework and reboot <-- nth happend.

**I'm wonder is it need to flash via TWRP instead of CWM?

No idea whether is CWM problem. You can try reflash with TWRP. Get the TWRP. Img file from TWRP main site and use free app flashify to flash it.
I use TWRP as is my favorite recovery. It backup n restore faster vs CWM.  On phones with No ext sdcard it recognize ext usb storage devices for backup.
Wannam retry with orher options  eg display date in taskbar. Not all stated features will work. You can feedback to developer at his XDA thread anything You find Not working - must mentioned your phone model n firmware you are on.

then will re-flash with TWRP and feedback later. Thanks!

This consider good especially your network coverage not good. Is a very subjective question, it depends on what you use and what stuffs you install, setting ad etc.

Guess you using lolipop stock unroot right?

QUOTE(alifhezrey93 @ Jul 8 2015, 09:02 AM)
Ohhh, I think all note 4 SOT is same.

Alot setting and feature I not use, i turn off.

Not really.. even i flash custom.rom and root, barely.got 4hrs sot only.. but others might get 5-6hrs.

QUOTE(arrowhead7372 @ Jul 8 2015, 11:27 AM)
Quck question to u guys who have rooted and using sweetrom etc.

I will need to reflash each time theres an update (@like 5.0.1 to 5.0.2?)

Considering to root my phone and try those roms like u guys.. But quite clueless on this area.
*
Of course you need to re flash if any update. Lol

Guys, is cf auto root available for 5.1.1?

If not, any way to root 5.1.1?

How to disable unwanted apps, for example fb, chrome, or hidden apps like ANT, beam service if the device is not root (cannot use Titanium)...

Also, while WCDMA is ON, but with minimal screen time.

Charging progress using computer's USB port

9.43am - 57%
10.30am - 62%

(+47 mins +5%)

I also notice that if WiFI is ON and I am actively using the phone (basic stuff like whatsapp and web browsing), even when charging via computer's USB, the charge % will be declining.

Is it potentially a USB cable problem, or battery problem?
*
Cable problem mostly.

Dont worry.. since you just got it, observe few more days.

Enjoy ~
