Found this on Reddit about Package Disablers. Is this true for the S8? - Samsung Galaxy S8 Questions and Answers

quote:
"D) Package Disablers and Greenify
Once upon a time, these apps were useful, but now? They are not, and in fact, can cause more harm than good. Please don’t use them. There is no need to use these apps on S7 Galaxy devices.
Why do I say that?
Well, essentially, it’s because of the way Touchwiz’s Battery Optimizer works. Touchwiz automatically monitors your battery habits and if there are apps you don’t use (even bloatware), it will automatically close them down after a bit. Give it a week or two to get used to your habits and it should stabilize to the point where apps you don’t use will seldom take up battery, and if they do, it’ll be insignificant to the point where it doesn’t matter. The way Greenify and Package Disablers mess your device up is when Touchwiz is trying to do it’s thing but it senses that certain apps are missing so it keeps on searching for them, thus causing more battery drain, and causing Touchwiz battery optimizer to prioritize all the wrong things.
TL;DR - Don’t use Greenify (it’s good, just not for our devices) and Package Disablers, let TouchWiz do its thing."

Pfft that's his opinion

Greenify is still useful if you want to kill background services, Samsung's built-in feature doesn't do that.
Package disablers are still useful for disabling packages that cause wakelocks or have background services consuming RAM even if you never ever use them.

I dont even use Touchwiz. This post has no actual facts or logic behind it. Battery optimizer still works fine, battery useage is far better. I have about 80 packages disabled.

I had Redmi 3S which battery was 4000 mAh. Totally unbloated, custom rom, no facebook, snapchats, twitters etc., and thanks to HD only screen 10h SoT was the highest I got.
Now you're telling me that S8 which battery is 1000 mAh less capacity perform better than Redmi 3s?
Tell me everything you did to S8 to achieve this. If you have spare time. Every single step haha

I just did the whole procedure, had to use some ADB command from my PC as well according to the APP, but it works well!

I am using an package disabler (231 packages) and no greenify. Though i have been using greenify for years, in my S7 and S8 i had a worse battery with it.

don't know what gave you the impression this was a rhetorical question., but it is indeed a real question.

Sorry guys.
I am a 26 year old man but I act like a 10 year old child. I am really pathetic and have no life, so I just troll xda. Pray for me. The awesome mods ban my accounts as fast as I create them but I feel like a hero by creating more. I am dying of butthurt disorder but I'll continue to keep my head up because I am sad inside.
I really do apologize for being so silly. I just can't move on. I'm always going to be sad because I broke xda rules and had my account banned. I can't accept that I should just grow up and move on, so I just continue to exceed at being immature and ridiculous.
Don't worry though, while I might sneak a post or two in before mods catch me, they will ALWAYS catch me and ban me. Because xda mods are the best! Especially @The Merovingian

Screen Wobble/Battery Consumption (Xperia Play User Comparison)

Hi Yall
Ive had the xperia play for around 2 weeks now and loving it but seeing as im pretty particular about my new gadgets im just wondering if my xperia play is the same as everyone elses.
Ive basically got only a couple queries which are:
1. How is your screen wobble when the slider is opened and closed?
With mine, when the slider is closed there is a slight gap between the gamepad and the screen so when you use the touch screen (for smsing etc) you can here the tapping of the screen on the gamepad.
When the slider is open on the other hand the same thing happens but only on the bottom 2 corners of the screen you can push them slightly down onto the gamepad with slight movement.
2. How is your battery usage/life?
With mine, I basically get 1 or 1.5 days battery life depending on what I am doing but I cant help notice that even with little things such as sending a quick sms or simply going through the phones settings will actually eat 1% or 2% of the battery life. This normal?
Lastly, im new to android as I have recently switched from the iphone so when im looking at the stock android app killer thats built into the device under the applications section. What is actually using the battery? As you go the the running apps part its got used and free application that show up. are both of these eating the battery or is it just the used ones?
Thank You in advance and thanks for comparing.
this has been discussed over and over again, please use search first before posting.
Anyway, Markus (developer I think) from Sony Ericsson confirmed the "LITTLE" wobble and small gap when closed is normal. That is in accordance to their design engineers' wants to allow users to have a good feel when using the gaming device. As with any side-slider phones, THIS IS NORMAL.
Regarding the battery, that is just fine. You are actually getting the juice out of it. Period. I had mine rooted and bloatware removed, but the difference in battery consumption against non-rooted didn't vary a lot. So I reverted back to NO BLOATWARE REMOVED (but still rooted though) to preserve my ability to update via OTA in the future and it's working just fine. I believe the phone is managing itself very well so there's no need for us to be doing a lot of tweaks that could be potentially dangerous. And oh, I believe you're already on 2.3.3 because on 2.3.2 the battery won't even last a day. Mine lasts a maximum of 35 hours on 2.3.3 with moderate use, 4-5 hours on straight gaming.
EDIT: Never use third-party App Killers/Task Managers! I read somewhere legit that they will just screw up your phone. Android phones are way better off with spiking memory usages because that's the time when the phone starts to manage itself actually. Remember, devs and engineers will never release a device that cannot manage itself. Love your device! Love it even more if it's in stock condition!
If you want speed, memory and more battery then do this
Batteryurchase juice defender ultimate, it's absolutely wonderful and ACTUALLY works. With root it saved me x1.50 on battery, without root it saved me x2. 0
Install memory booster, qwik boost and task killer will free up RAM and stop battery consumption for a few minutes.
Speed: unlocking bootloader and then rooting, installing titanium backup and removing bloatware, uninstalling useless apps and freezing will make it noticibly fast. You can also use. SETCPU for extended battery and faster performance. And SD speed increase
For more speed and precision , flash doomkernel
That will catapult your battery to 10 hours, and will get you to another day.

Ok Guys
So has anyone got any fixes to make the device have no wobble at all? Tell us your story or innovations.

It is normal for the Play to have a slight wobble!
If you really want to inprove it you can use two of those little sticky pad things from the bottom of a mouse (no, not a real mouse, a pc mouse!), place them on the back of the Play while the screen is up, it stops it wobbling, there is a thread about it somewhere on here.
like i said in my post, that is normal. why fix something that is normal?
I just dont like the slight wobble, thats all
Its one of those things that eat at your very soul over time lol
then there's nothing we can do about that. no one's bothered about that here anyway.
So is anyone also experiencing one shoulder button being looser than the other?

Either way anything that kills apps is bad. I used to do it religiously on my old Droid, and then I read that article and said hey lets just give it a shot. Well it took a while (like a couple days) for the phone to catch up but it actually started to run BETTER and less stuff was crashing and force closing.
I still have Advanced task killer on my phone, but I use it for one thing only, to kill apps that screw up but don't Force Close (generally Facebook because that app is a piece of ****e....)
there's an article (legit one) i read somewhere saying app killers and advanced task managers plus battery calibration apps are actually dangerous to android phones. after all, android does memory spooling, so it manages its RAM on its own and we don't want to mess with that. as i always say, why intervene with something that's working properly? engineers made their phones act properly without / minimal management, so why bother?

There is quite a good aricle on lifehacker that says all about the native memory management and why task killers are useless
Yes tasks managers are quite useless for Android.In fact, it is known to screw up some programs or functions because of closing the wrong programs.That being said i'm using the one that came with go launcher.

You can stick a teflon mouse skate at the back of the screen just behind the home button. It won't completely eliminate wobble but it makes it a lot more stable when pressing any of the face buttons or texting.
When a task killer kills apps, most of them just restart. If you want it to be truly effective, you need to have root, titanium pro, and freeze them.
Plus, task killers use extra CPU and ram, resulting in more power being used. They just keep killing apps repeatedly and eat your battery.

[APP] Greenify [ROOT] - solve your battery issues (not created by me)

I'm surprised that no one has mentioned it on this forum yet, but it has to be one of the best apps I've downloaded. I had major battery life issues the first weekend I got my Nexus 5, then I installed Greenify and was really shocked by the results. I'm currently at 43% going on 13 hours, and I've had better! Highly recommend you all to try it out

It's because there is a dedicated Android apps section - and it's mentioned there. We don't really need a "Greenify" thread in every device forum.
This section is only really for apps specifically for the Nexus 5. Stock apps, modified apps and themes for N5 users.

Greenify or BatteryGuru(xiam) ?

[Guide] How to get the most out of your brand spanking new G3!

Just thought I’d put a short guide together on what I think are some things to do to get the most out of your spanking new LG G3 when you get it or you already have it. Most of you guys might already know most of this or might not. Just thought it might help some people. This ain’t rocket science but every little bit helps!
Battery:
This is the hardest thing to do because like a fingerprint everyone has a different set up with apps and how they use their phone (wifi vs 3g vs 4g etc) that screen on time will always vary. Also you don’t want to turn everything off and cripple your brand new smartphone just for your battery. There’s a balance.
However here are some general things to do that do help:
1. Install Greenify from the Playstore. I have found this is the number one way to stop drainage. This app will hibernate apps when not in use. It doesn’t stop their functionality at all but hibernates them.
2. Don’t use Google Now. I think it’s a gimmick and does bugger all for me however if you use it it will drain your battery big time. Of course if you love it then use it!
3. Don’t use location services. Another big drainer. Just use it when you need it. However if you have apps that need it then of course leave it on!
4. Use ‘auto’ on screen brightness. Mine is on ‘auto’ but at 100% and the brightness is perfectly ok for me.
5. If you continue to get big drainage then download Betterbatterystats from the Playstore and look at the ‘wakelocks’ – this way you will be able to see what’s draining your battery. As a general rule your phone should go into deep sleep for at least 80% of the time.
With this phone I am getting around 5 to 5.5 hours Screen on Time. You should be getting around that too.
Performance:
Here are a few things only that really do help with speed and performance:
1. The whole thermal throttling thing is a pain i.e. LG’s decision to turn down brightness when it gets hot. However there is something you can do and which I have now done for two weeks with no adverse problems. Turn it off! Put this in the phone app: 3845#*400# and then scroll down to 'high temperature property' and switch to enable and do the same for 'thermal daemon mitigation'. Please note my model is ‘400’ so this will work in the number sequence above. For models with other numbers I am pretty sure you just substitute and put that number in e.g. 855.
2. Go to Dev Options and change the transition animation scale, the animator duration scale and the window animation scale to 0.5. This little thing speeds up your phone like nothing else.
3. Root your phone with towelroot. One click root! And then start debloating. Get rid of whatever you want by downloading Titanium Backup and going into each app and freezing whatever you want. Freezing is safer than uninstalling but does the same thing. Debloating is a must!
4. So once rooted then start using xPosed modules by downloading and installing the xPosed framework and then rebooting.
These are my personal Top 3:
a. Download the brilliant xPosed module ‘TweaksBox’ by P_Toti located at:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2792242
And donate something to him! This allows you to change so much with this phone. I dunno where to start. It is superb.
b. I dislike the LG skin so immediately download the Google launcher – to me it is the fastest launcher out there beating Nova and Apex. This launcher cannot be customised however there is a fantastic xPosed module that allows you to customise everything - Xposed Gel settings located here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xposed-gel-settings-t2647275
And donate to him too!
c. How good would it be to extend your nav bar seamlessly if you slide your finger! Well you can – download Xtended nav bar here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xposed/modules/mod-xtended-navbar-t2787228
And donate to him too!
I can’t think of anything else but these things definitely help.
And get ready for your G3 – it is super duper great!
lol donate this donate that, you sounded like their marketing... nice tips though, I'd like to ask between betterbattery stats and gsam battery monitor, which one better?
will towelroot work on the d855 version?
also what is the difference between greenify's hibernating with titanium backup's freezing?

Ha yes someone's got to donate! They do so much and get so little.
Yes the only reason I said bbs is because I'm used to it. Gsam does the same thing essentially.
Yes from what I read towelroot should work.
Greenify hibernates an app in the background if you are not using it whilst freezing apps effectively uninstalls them without the pain of then being actually uninstalled. And you can unfreeze them any time.
okay, again thanks for creating this thread, btw how do we take screenshots from g3?

If you turn off the "Ok Google" listener you will save most off the battery drainage, I find Google Now pretty handy.

Yes I've debloated some but just the safe ones. There's heaps there though.
How are you finding yours? I'm loving mine but just hoping more developers get on board. Tell your developer mates please!
Is there any danger turning off the thermal thingy. Could the phone completely overheat?
I'll just confirm for anyone wondering that indeed the turning off the thermal throttling does work by changing the device model number to "855" on the UK version
No adverse effects in last half hour or so and have been trying to run demanding tasks to see how it go's
You can uninstall all of the bloat without any issues. It also helps with your battery life. I usual get 4 hours of screen time post charge. That's more than most people can get on a stock kernel, and it's great for a 2k display.

and also I'm such a noob, can someone link me a guide to use tapatalk efficiently?
thanks for the help
No torch/flashlight app preinstalled, you will have to install one. Also no task manager that I can see.
What is the best torch app you recommend?
Also task manager? Doesn't the android multitasking app work finely for that?
I am using"flashlight hd led" which seems fine.
Yes android does, I just liked the task manager on the G2, not sure why they didn't keep it.

What are you disabling in Package Disabler Pro?

For those who are uninitiated, Package disabler pro is an app on the app store that lets you disable programs on your android device without rooting. You can get gains in battery life and performance by disabling bloat using this program.
So far I'm taking a very light approach.
I've disabled:

I've got 1796 RAM free after a reboot which I feel is pretty good. Although there are probably a ton more things that could be easily disabled. I figured we could get the ball rolling on everyone's results with disabling certain packages as we experiment.

I realize that it was done on the note5, and your link is a great resource, but the application stack is different on the S7 edge (all the edge applications and new "advanced features" tools. And the lack of snote / pen services) Also marshmallow vs Lollipop, I thought it would be good to have device specific (S7 Edge) information in this thread.

If you import the list you can build off of that. If the app isn't there it cancels out. All the basic apps are there. I use the same apps as lollipop. So the list is almost identical. From my note 5.

Correct. You have to tweak it. Once you import it you can go through and uncheck whatever you use. Everyone uses different apps.

I realize that it was done on the note5, and your link is a great resource, but the application stack is different on the S7 edge (all the edge applications and new "advanced features" tools. And the lack of snote / pen services) Also marshmallow vs Lollipop, I thought it would be good to have device specific (S7 Edge) information in this thread.

OP, I'm disabling apps manually to get it where I want... I'll upload screenshots of it when I'm finished. Look for an update late tonight or tomorrow. We can tinker from there until it's perfect for use.
I believe the EDGE doesn't use CIQ anymore, but doesn't mean they are not using something else which they probably do as the setup process asks for "anonymous data collecting" for network management or something like that.
Here is my list. I copied my list from my Note 5 which I started with the XML file that was posted in the linked thread already. I have been having no issues and after getting the phone on Tuesday it has settled down today and I am at 76% battery left with 8 hours off the charger and 1 hour of screen on time (busy day at work today so far).
Here's mine
Why not just go into settings, apps, and disable from there?

Because with Package Disabler you can literally disable any system package.
Here's my list after looking at the couple posted here and adding in my things too. I use Hangouts and pretty much all of the Google stuff (Gmail is blocked because I use Inbox).
Sorry there are so many, you can't scroll screenshot on the S7 Edge

Curious to find out if after disabling these apps and processes you still show Android System as your biggest battery drainer. Keep us poster, please.

Will do. I'm not sure that it will change that from being the biggest battery "drainer" though... My battery was pretty good already. I know we see that on top and automatically think it's a big drain, but I think it's just that way because nothing else uses much battery.
We shall see though!

That's probably the case. Nonetheless, we see folks on the Exynos variant whose battery stats show significantly less drain from Android System as an overall percentage of battery use over a given charge cycle. Could it be a difference in processor efficiencies, or a TMobile specific "issue?" I have no clue but it's helpful to gather as much information as possible.

Could be the difference in chips. Battery has been great for me as well despite Android System being the biggest "battery hog". Indeed it must be due to the fact that nothing else is consuming much percentage of the battery and if that's the case then it makes sense why Android System would have the highest percentage in battery usage.
I know on my note5 there was something I was disabling that was killing Wi-Fi calling. The packages you are disabling does Wi-Fi calling still work?

Get your OPX among the top devices!!!

Great guide. Going to the Tor recommendation however... It's a bit sketchy as lately people have been implanting malicious code. I personally recommend shadowsocks. It isn't a VPN but rather a Proxy. It uses socks5 which is the latest and greatest in terms of encryption algorithms. If it doesn't suit your needs then look at OpenVPN
And in place of cCleaner, I recommend SD Maid Pro as it can clean system databases and applications so long as you have root.
Another Xposed module to check out is XinternalSD as you can force apps to use external storage
X-plore is great, but look at Solid Explorer as well. It's really great.

More than the solid exp, x-plore can be used with very much ease. And thank you for shadowsocks. I will try and come up. Until wikileaks use tor, itll be safe .XinternalSD, it doesn't matter much I feel, I know that already.
Can you post screenshots of your SoT ?

Okay. Next time I release my phone from charge I'll reset stats and tell you.
Do you suggest the Boeffla-Kernel if you are heavy on games and also need your phone to stay up the whole day with Wi-Fi and Mobile Data on.
I am seriously considering your advice.
I got 69k but that's irrelevant anyways, the phone perform wells and its fast in general. if i setup my phone to last longer it wont get 69k of course, as i said still its fast so numbers not realy important.

Look, the phone wont run the whole day if you run heavy games. That's for any kernel, because the battery has only a capacity of 2525mAh. youll get an sot of abt 5-6 hrs without games. with undervolting, 4% charge goes every fifa game. So, the you cant use the phone with heavy gaming the whole day but 2-4 hrs. If you have mobile data and wifi running, andplay no games you can get it upp to 5-6 hrs yeah.

yeah, obviously nos. arent important. If you use a h2os and the settings i told, youll like get 70k or even more. I like OOs more than h2os. so yeah...
"2. Get cCleaner from the play store and clean your system often."
There I stopped reading.
I doubt installing YouTube background player to put my phone among the top devices.
The most tips are common around xda users. The other tips are just spamming software. You should've just shared your boefla profile in the boefla sharing thread. In this way you also would have contributed in the development of boefla.

Top devices didn't mean benchmark and performance. It meant the overall benefit of the device... And yes, I will post my profile to that thread.
Sure those mods have helped you score 65k, when normally you should have got only 50k.
Regarding cCleaner, its a nice free and lite app for managing phone apps and viewing system info too - nothing wrong having it installed.
Thanks much!
Great efforts!
