I've had a rooted G4 since release and there is pretty much no combination of governor/tuning etc that makes any discern-able difference to battery life. It's always been pretty terrible, sorry.

I'm not even sure there are many settings you can change with the stock kernel (I've always ran a custom ROM).

This is a better app for messing about with stuff btw - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.grarak.kerneladiutor&hl=en_GB

Just make sure you have a backup to restore if you mess something up that stops your phone from booting.

How did you root the phone? I am looking for a good root method! What carrier are you on and are you on the latest version of Android?

If you have the H815, your best option is to unlock the bootloader via the LG Developers site and flash TWRP, then SuperSU/Magisk.

Rooting any of the other variants requires downgrading to Lollipop and flashing a rooted system partition.
