I think our battery life problem is not sensors related...

Just wanted to share a screenshot of my battery usage today(screenshot shows last 12hours)

At the moment i'm playing around with the different sfos boosters.
Ah, and i saw that sfos is running an osupdate check timer, which we don't need. It should be save to mask the the osupdate.timer and get some extra seconds of battery life

New kernel is coming soon, i'll just want to test it a few days before releasing it.

in sfdroid the command pkill zygote for the connection issue works, but I have to do it every time I open it. Is there way to make it fixed?

How's the testing coming, @mautz?

You could script it, sh script or the like. Change the “Exec” directive in the .desktop shortcut for sfdroid in /usr/share/applications to something like:
Exec=fingerterm -e "/path/to/script.sh"

sh script includes original Exec directive from the .desktop followed by pkill zygote

Forgive the lack of detail, but I don't use sfdroid. I'd be glad to help in more detail if you paste me the contents of the sfdroid .desktop shortcut in /usr/share/applications

Well, on a fresh 2.0.4.13 with V8 kernel, conservative governor, lowered min_freq to 200, wifi on, no apps running, device not even touched, battery consumption in 24h was 40%. Is that good or bad? Previously I updated from 2.0.4.13 to 2.0.5.6 (which BTW is running very good and is my favorite) but the battery was draining way faster.

Also no SFDroid.

That sounds a bit high. That's close to what I get with the stock kernel and voltages. Have you undervolted at all? That will be your single biggest gain. Also, I'd stick to a lower limit of 249MHz, as any lower will have diminishing returns and actual losses. I actually have a fair amount less consumption on my 2.0.5.6 setup as opposed to 2.0.4.1x

Did you use the 2.0.1.11 install image following CM12.1, then the sensorsfix3.zip flash then OTA'ed to 2.0.4.1x and beyond? What I'd do is install the updated 2.0.4.13 image, as the hardware adaptation is slightly newer and seems to have improved battery life after OTA'ing to 2.0.5.6. I've settled on that method of getting the latest SFOS after much trial and error, and this method works for me every time - with the exception of the known dbus bug which is easy to get around. Let me know if you need any help!

You could likely add "pkill zygote" to a new line in that sfdroid.sh script, as follows:

Code:

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/sg graphics "/usr/bin/sfdroid $@"
/usr/bin/pkill zygote

Let me know if that doesn't work.

It doesn't work

Nothing is changed, it seems that the command is not executed.

I'll make a test partition with sfdroid to see if I can find a way to automate that nicely. I'll update as soon as I have a solution for you.
