In this case editing the config file actually works better than installing the patch. The patch only gets you a maximum of 4 hours until shut down. If you edit the config file, you get about 24 hours. I've been experimenting with different times (36, 40, 48, 50 hours) and they all seem to give a shut down time of around 24 hours.

I think the only step you are missing after editing and saving the config file is to restart your device for it to see the new settings.
