Pixel 5 gang!

• Tivi Mate - one Android App to rule them all
• iPTVsubs Pro - exactly the channels you're looking for

"Disconnected from sometimes-off VPN"

Yes - absolutely - just google the adb command and you should get all the infos you need!

Yes - like every other time. With every App or system update these optimizations are "overwritten" by the system again...you don't need to but I'm sure if you do it every 1-4 weeks you'll see a positive impact on speed and battery.

No root needed, just ADB. I use shizuku and an ADB app to do it once a week on the phone, takes 30-60mins

I found this - increases battery life while apps open faster - confirmed via AccuBattery testing for a couple of weeks:

You can force ART compiler's AOT(Ahead Of Time) compiler to force compile all the apps ahead of time instead of JIT(Just In Time) which compile apps on the fly when you open and use different parts of an app.

By default google uses a profile-based method to only compile the most used parts of an app. (You can find more info by reading the source which I've mentioned below)

Remember forcing compilation take some time depending on how many apps you have installed.

Only downside is this takes up little bit more storage space due to compiled .oat files are being larger in size compared to dex files.

For example for me, apps installed without forcing compilation takes about 30GBs of space in total and after compilation it takes about 39GB.

You can use this command to compile all the apps:

adb shell cmd package compile -m speed -f -a

I just took the Premium. Game streaming (Just play instead of downloading 150GB for a big titles) Demos!

Cool beans! I use IceBox & Shizuku for freezing Instagram - no other apps that I want to be freozen tbh.

What reaaaally kicked my battery performance since Pixel 7 Pro is this adb script, which I run every other week: https://www.reddit.com/r/android_beta/comments/14yh35l/this_is_how_to_force_optimize_android_beta_or/

It does some obex magic, resulting in more phone storage usage of apps but with significant impact on performance and battery consumption.

How does your average look like? That's mine, best Pixel battery performance I ever had.

Ah - cool - is this a chrome flags setting?

Pixel User since the first. Best phone and pixel I ever had.
