For what it's worth, I bought an external charger a couple phones back. Just plug in via USB to the phone if it's running low. Really useful when I'm on the train, for example, and I tether wifi for my Xoom. Gets me through the day in a pinch and I don't have to buy a new one with every phone (though I might buy a larger one now given the Galaxy Nexus' bigger battery).

Also, I usually plug the phone in while at my desk and always charge overnight. But I use the hell out of my phone
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] leenukes:
I have to agree with Martonikaj I'm afraid. Its a phone, just because you CAN swap out the batteries doesn't mean you should HAVE to to get reasonable usage life.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
I disagree with the OP for having 2nd, 3rd batteries in order to use it properly based on user usage pattern.

First, define your usage pattern then try to optimize the battery to support that.

My usage pattern requires to have at least 3 and a half our screen time, and charge the phone once every two days, before I went to sleep (or during the night).

And this phone battery can do that without any problem :D ...

So, I don't need second battery ... and I am ordering the 2000mAH extended battery for GSM model. Having extra 250mAH is nice, it's a bonus for additional 30 minutes screen time! ... while still having the same look and thin device profile ;)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joshaldo:
Hey guys can someone recommend a good place to buy a second battery and charger if needed? Is it worth getting the extended battery and do I need to buy a different back cover if I purchase one? I am in Australia so was thinking eBay might be my best bet? Cheers
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nory82688:
I do the same as the OP. I have three batteries that I rotate through. The OEM Samsung battery that came with the phone and two 1900mah batteries that I bought from eBay (which aren't too bad by the way) . I don't ever have to plug in my phone anymore because most of the time I have two fully charged batteries ready to go. I get on average between 12-15 hours on a single charge as it is with pretty good use, so I'm not worried about my phone dying, its just more convenient.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Super Chimp:
What about if there is going to be an official larger battery for it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Joshaldo:
Just bought two off of eBay for $11, bargain. Hopefully they will do the job. Can keep one in the car and one at work, I should never run out of battery
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nory82688:
I am pretty sure i saw an official Samsung extended battery 3000mah with battery door cover on eBay for the GSM version . I think it was around $35-$40.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gogol:
Correction, it is 2000 mAH, the official extended battery for GSM (with NFC sensor).

OP, r you on verizon? I think I like this idea, but when you say the battery doors are only 3 dollars...I'm not sure I know what you're talking about, because the ones on shimshop and gmarket are more. I'm using a GSM version though. So maybe it's the verizon ones you're talking about, which won't fit the GSM anyway. So I'm thinking of ordering the standard 1750 mah battery from here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Sam...221?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item1c2251a8a5

and buy the charger here http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Sam...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item1c222cd661
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IFLATLINEI:
I agree with the OP's attitude. Its not always going to be so one sided. We expect our devices to adapt to our habits but sometimes we also need to adapt to it as well.

I wish battery life was better but its not horrible. I keep charging cables everywhere. One in the bedroom, my office, and my car. Whenever possible I charge. I've been doing this with my Eris and Nook Color as well. Always ready to go. Best part about this phone is that it uses a common charging connector. I had a bunch of cables I can use from old Blackberry phones and Bluetooth ear pieces.

I would like to have a spare extended battery that can be charges in my car. And this doesn't mean I'm letting Google off the hook just yet. If its possible I'm hoping for improvements through updates as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Super Chimp:
Thanks for that. Will have to have a look around for that.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mancuk29:
Which battery do you suggest I've looked on amazon and there are real cheap ones from china (around £7) but I've heard some horror stories about cheap imports to the UK ... thanks in advance
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] @rbiter:
What? You dont have solar powered hat? Turbine for when you flush? No homemade inducter battery covery? No turbine pinwheel on your antenna? Cmon who wants to carry a measly battery. :D
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TheBiles:
Anyone have any suggestions for a Verizon extra battery with NFC that fits the stock door? Amazon only has one without NFC.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] voxigenboy:
I'm the complete opposite. Battery life is a big deal to me. I'm on the go often and can't just charge my phone whenever I want. I also do not want to be bothered with the whole battery swap b.s. I went through that with my Thunderbolt and do not want to do it again. Sadly though, my phone regularly runs low on battery &I'll have to just turn off mobile data completely & just keep it going long enough until I can charge again. If it's a day that I know I won't be able to charge at all then I'll bring along my Energizer 5000mAh portable power pack which will give my phone a few extra hours of juice.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] goldenchyld21:
Some dont prefer to have to rely on having a charger with them everywhere they go.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] RickROM:
I just started using three batteries also. Normally have the extended battery in, and it lasts all day.

Have two of the regular batteries, and I charge them on the spare charger. I bring one or both of those if I anticipate running out of battery before the day is over.

So far I have had no problems. Only used one battery with my Nexus S, but now I like the multiple battery setup better.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] liverstealerJobs:
Wow, finally a voice of reason in the sea of battery obsession wilderness. I wonder who had the balls to post a thread like this. Not me. The battery life fanatics don't like having their life topic dismissed so readily.

Every phone I have ever had, I have had extra batteries. So simple. Remove back cover, pop old one out, put new one in, replace cover. How is that so hard?No measurebating. No crippling the phone. I use the phone as intended. I spend the time actually enjoying the phone, not proving X made my battery life this X longer. I guess people just need a purpose in life.

I normally ignore the battery zombies. But damn, every ROM developer thread has to have them trolling to eek X more life. So sick of it. I want this phone to effin fly! To hell with battery life. Deal with it.

O.K. done with my rant. Go bash me, battery life zombies.

OBTW, another solid reason I will never buy an iPhone. Who would buy an electronic device where you can't change the battery out? That should be first rule of Phone Club.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GinoSylum:
I did the same thing with my Incredible. I used to do all the "battery saving" tricks. Screw that. I keep my brightness on 100% at all times. I have a time line widget that updates every hour, bla bla bla.. All the stuff you "should not" do. I have an unbelievably cool smart phone and i intend to use it. I get about 12 hours on an average day with decent use. I have a spare battery and if i need to swap, I do. Takes less than a minute to do and I NEVER think about it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] newparadigm:
I have one of those portable battery chargers so I don't have to remove the case and cover. Not much bigger than a battery itself.

Though honestly the battery has been getting better and better. 10 hours today, left it on 4g, close to two hours of screen time, and I'm at 65%.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MisterEdF:
Where did you order spare battery door covers from for $3? Was this for the GSM or VZW (are they the same covers)?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mitch8892:
I feel the same exact way as the OP. I swapped batteries out on my bionic as well. I usually don't have issues with battery life and if I do, the batteries are thin and small which makes them easy to carry with you in case you need them. Having an extra battery will allow you to keep 4g on all the time, a definite plus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
Covers are not the same. Pins to hold them down are in different spots.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JFMFT:
Sorry, $3 is my VZW employee pricing on the covers. They are $4.99 regularly. I didn't realize that before I posted. I ordered them on verizonwireless.com.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JFMFT:
You really don't have room in your pocket for an extra battery? They weigh a few ounces, are small, and the whole battery cover removal process takes - I kid you not - under 10 seconds. You probably spend more time checking your battery life every hour than it would take you all day to simply swap a battery. You seem to be torturing yourself for no good reason. I am confused by your logic, or lack thereof, really.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] stopswitch:
Good for you man, way to stick it to the man.

Unfortunately I work all day long (you know, work, as in not at a desk) and need a durable case for my phone, like the otterbox defender. Talk about a lot of time and a pain in the butt to remove this case and swap out batteries. I'm glad you have no problem doing this, but this is not a realistic situation for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martonikaj:
He shouldn't have to check his battery life every hour. And carrying around 1 extra battery is actually cumbersome, no matter the weight. Its just one more thing to deal with in your pockets.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] android01:
4 batteries here. And when I reload I twirl it in my hand before holstering it. And drop the empty battery on the ground like Neo.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] alinefr:
I'm a battery freak. I bought a replacement battery, but I just want it for those moments where I'm travelling or camping or in any place where recharging may not be so easy. In my daily routine I don't want to think about battery, I want my mobile to stay alive at least for the whole day. Siyah kernel + CM9 even with heavy mobile data usage is doing the job for me. But as I said, I'm a battery freak, and so why not tweak more and more to get more juice? Because I love to tweak more than I need the battery ;)

Okay so I just installed the EL26 Rogue stock kernel and I feel like my phone just got sooo much smoother. Scrolling is like buttah! Coming from Rogue EL13, btw.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dw3bb10:
+1

Loving it!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] maxwintrobe:
no lie, still on EG30 mainly because love the scroll bounce, was rocking it with desperado OC to 200/1400, but this EL26 Rogue beats it how silky smooth it is.

as bonus VPNC Widget still works, see /dev/net/tun when connected with EL26 Rogue, hadn't expected this, thanks!!!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AndroidSPCS:
Great to hear. Still on the EG30 ROM, reading and doing more reading before I take the dive into EL26. But the positive reports are very encouraging!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dafluke24:
Same here. It just keeps getting better and better! :D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] limeaid:
Glad to hear this. Still holding out because some themes don't support EL26 yet.

Any noticeable difference in battery life on EL26?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] dafluke24:
I've never had large differences in battery life when on any modem or kernel with any custom ROM. To me it's all dependent on how your phone is set up and how much you use it. As long as I can make it through the day without having to charge up, I'm good. If it lasts longer than 24 hours, that's just extra benefits.

With stock ROM, my battery only lasted maybe 7-8 hours. On any custom ROM I've ran, it's usually well past that.

I'm on the Nothing but the honey theme, and that's been my fave theme out of the ones I've tried. I know for certain that one is working without issues on EL26 with Calk's rom.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sling:
I wasn't seeing smooth scroll performance with EL26 on UnNamed EL13 rom base touchwiz use.

Went back to EL13 all is perfect again.

I've been searching for this PNG for hours now. I need assistance with finding the folder it's in. I've search countless APK's. All the usual places but still can't find it. Please advise so I can get on with my life. lol. It's the long gray/green PNG at the very bottom(sorry, I'm color blind).

I also can't locate this PNG. I've been looking for at least a good day. It's the menu that pops up when you select "menu".
[HTC Rezound] Xtreme Outcast:
This Is An Educated Guess; Wouldn't That Be In Either The SystemUI.apk Or framework-res.apk?

It does on some ROMS but after porting over an m10 fusion.apk from Sense 3.0 and seeing that one PNG not change, I beg to differ.
[HTC Rezound] fernando sor:

No worries, I got it from teaching myself to write android apps.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
I checked out the page. It helps but then again it doesn't. I need to know the specific file name + folder location. I have 186 apk's to go through not including folders so it can make it very difficult to run a search without knowing the exact name and location of the PNG.
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
Gotcha...for the most part I think they are in android resources,from a dev side that's easy, from themeing...probably no so much as u stated.
[HTC Rezound] DRGilroy:
Have you checked here?:

com.htc.resources.apk\res\drawable-xhdpi

[HTC Rezound] DRGilroy:
I believe it's the "common_panel_fullscreen_base.9.png" for the bottom button menu on the app screen. The background for the popup menu is in smali I believe. If I'm incorrect, someone please correct me.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
Yep, that just might be it! I'm flashing it now to confirm. I'll post my results.Thanks

Edit:

No go on that. Still hasn't changed. :(
[HTC Rezound] DRGilroy:
Okay, I went through all the "common" png's and I think I found it. Try this one "common_black_background.9.png".
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
The search continues! Themed that PNG as well and still no change. I should also point out, I HIGHLY doubt the PNG is located in "Skins aka m10 file". I think this because I swapped out the m10 completely and it still hasn't changed. I'm sure someone here on XDA knows where this PNG is hiding.
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
After looking at them more closely, they look like sense specific icons...is there a place for those somewhere?
[HTC Rezound] tbot:
Nvm...
[HTC Rezound] Tikerz:
rosie.apk?
[HTC Rezound] Devildog8791:
This one should be in framework-res.apk. It is the menu_background.9.png file. There is one in the drawable-hdpi and drawable-xhdpi folders. The file right next to it (menu_background_fill_parent_width.9.png) is the secondary menu that pops up when you select "More" in a menu.
[HTC Rezound] lomar24:
All of these are located in the Rosie.apk or the sense UI apk you are using (i.e. burgandy or blue sky). hence why they change when you change launchers. good luck on your theme!
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
There are two folders that house PNG's for Rosie.apk

drawable-port-xhdpi

drawable-xhdpi

Together they have 75 PNG's. None of the PNG's look to be the one described in the pictures. If it's there, please name it. I also am having a hard-time believing it could be a "Sense UI apk" because Ineffabilis ROM only has one skin option. That's the default. I've completely swapped out that M10 file with another m10 file and that PNG wasn't changed. Which leads me to believe it can't possibly be part of an m10 file.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
Sorry for a double post.

I TOTALLY AGREE WITH YOU!! Because on Sense 3.0 ROMS and my wife's EVO 3D(Sense 3.5), those are the correct PNG's for the menu; however, both PNG's in those folders have been themed. I'm clueless as to why it won't change. Could it be the PNG is located in another APK? If so, let's find it...someone...it's driving me nuts.
[HTC Rezound] lomar24:
I'm just about to crack into Rosie for my theme. If I find it I will tell ya! Completely themed framework-res, HTC resources, and systemUI and that has not changed. Give me a lil bit.
[HTC Rezound] AndroidGraphix:
Awesome. Thanks. Hopefully you can find both of the png's.

PNG's FOUND! They are in Burgundy.apk and are the following:

I don't know, man. I figure that some people care about the aesthetics of their device, and as a designer, I jump at any chance I have to improve an interface. I've already made my homescreen theme, so why not make a matching twrp theme?

There honestly is no point, really; twrp is fully functional as is. But if there is something that I can do to even remotely benefit the community, then why not? I'm learning in the process and hopefully this is an intro into some bigger projects.

Thanks, man. Believe it or not, that's been my style of UI design for years--way before Windows 7 Phone came out. So now, I feel much less original.

Theming TWRP is actually pretty easy. The .xml is easy to understand and pick up if you've had even just a tiny bit of experience with something as simple as HTML. The most tedious thing is designing the theme and creating the 73 images my theme uses.
