Battery Life Concerns

We all have had different experiences with our battery. This is what my EVO looked like today. As you can see, lots and lots of use. This is the stock battery, btw... I can squeeze a lot more out of my 3500mAh extended battery.

Here's my setup:

  • SOS v1.9.0.7 (Swag = ON)
  • Lithid's Freedom v0.9 Less
  • CPU: 768MHz/245MHz
  • Governor: InteractiveX
  • RAM Tweak: Juwe11's built-in
  • Task Killer: none
  • Clock speed app: No Frills CPU Control
  • Usage: Heavy (games, lots of Tapatalk, occasional Googling, etc.)

What's your battery life like? Post your setup and results in the comments below.

v1.9.0.7 | SNAP BACK SWAG

New update rolling out now. Head over to the download page or grab it on ROM Manager. The changelog has been updated.

For those that don't know, my EVO 4G took a swim this past weekend. Help pay for my deductible and click on some ads. I don't like asking for donations, this allows you to get me some $$ without making my users having to spend any ;)

Keep Swaggin'!

Full Themes

Very soon, there will be a new Swagged Out blog dedicated to themes and themed elements. This will be utilized in the SOS App. Until then, be sure to check out the Swagification Post at XDA to stay up-to-date with themes and themed elements.

Several full themes have been uploaded with the following themed elements:

  • HTC Clock Widget
  • Dock
  • Lock Bar
  • Wallpaper
Enjoy!

The MetaMorph Theme: Explained

I love me some MetaMorph themes. Y'all know that by now. But why? Normally, devs give you an easy flashable .zip that includes a bunch of files that make your EVO really cool. But the thing that sucks about flashable .zips is that you can't pick and choose what pieces of themes you want to add.

Example
You want: the stock battery without percentage, the stock lock bar, Comfortaa font, black/green dock, Messages right button, and the nostalgic Swagged status bar.
Normally, you would have to either learn how to edit the .apks yourself or bug me enough times until I actually make a flashable .zip for you ;)
Luckily, with MetaMorph themes, you can add exactly what you want to your Swagged Out EVO - because let's face it, we all want to customize our Swag :)

How to MetaMorph
So, I been getting a lot of questions about how these work. I made a YouTube tutorial awhile back and realized I never posted it for you guys to check out. Here it is below:
Remember, anytime you flash an update, your mods will be removed. But MetaMorphs are super easy to add, so it will only take you about five minutes to return to your customized Swag.

Hopefully this clears up any confusion. If any of you have questions, comment below!
