• How do I apply these tweaks?

Simply flash LKT zip in recovery or Magisk app then reboot.

• Do I have to be rooted ?

Yes, LKT needs either Magisk or SuperSU or init.d support.
You also must install busybox by @osm0sis

Beware that LKT is a collection of advanced tweaks that act on kernel level. If you don't know how it works, then please try this at your own risk. I won't be responsible for any damage or loss. Never forget to make backups.

• What are the available profiles ?

Battery:  Can acheive ~2 hours or more longer on-screen battery life, may lag in some scenarios where the load fluctuates dramatically

Balanced: Can acheive ~1.5 hours or more longer on-screen battery life  with little performance compromise (recommended)

Performance: Can acheive ~1 hour longer on-screen battery life , same as balanced profile with more responsiveness

Turbo: Ideal for intense high demanding tasks where cpu load fluctuates drastically. It will ensure ~90% lag reduction for no more than ~20% increase power in consumption.

• How to change LKT profiles ?

Method 1

To access the command controls screen using terminal type

su
lkt

Then follow the given instructions.

Method 2

Now you can also you run these commands to directly switch profiles (must run with root permissions)

lkt 1 (for battery profile)
lkt 2 (for balanced profile)
lkt 3 (for performance profile)
lkt 4 (for turbo profile)

Method 3

You can also reflash the module twice to change the profile. You will have to reboot using this way.

• Will this work on my device ?

This mod support a large list of devices you can check the compatibility list.

It should work on almost every Stock, AOSP or Lineage based ROM & Kernel

The only problem is with heavily tweaked ROMs, they can interfere with LKT.

• How to make sure that LKT is working ?

Using a file explorer with root access check LKT logs in the location below ( share & upload yours in case of having troubles)

/data/LKT.prop

To properly open LKT.prop you need a file manager with root access your app may not be working correctly. Here's some apps I can recommend

You can also access your alogs using terminal by running this code

cat /data/LKT.prop

• My logs are incomplete

Install busybox by @osm0sis

• My device Lags & is no longer smooth

This can happen and it's a normal thing. As I have stated before, all these tweaks have been done for fit certain usage which might not be the same as yours. Because this, your device may lag in some scenarios under heavy loads (If you are experimenting huge lags, you have done something wrong). And yes, this can be fixed. We have a couple of ways of fixing it. First of all if you are using battery profile try switching to another one, if this doesn't help you consider the following steps :

Do a factory reset
Get rid of unnecessary background apps
Try a different ROM or Kernel
Try another profile

• These settings don't work & I'm not getting great screen on time

Keep in mind these tweaks have been tested on certain scenario that might not the same as yours, read the introduction in OP to understand more about this. However if you are getting worse results than before you are probably doing something wrong and here are some recommendations for you

Do a factory reset
Get rid of unnecessary background apps
Try a different ROM or Kernel
Try another profile
