[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] talkingmonkeys:
ALL BACKS BLACK​

​

Objective

:

As extensively researched by the community, the use of black backgrounds in OLED (AMOLED and Super AMOLED) devices may lead to a gain up to 20% more battery juice. As related information, you can find some maths here and this xda experiment.

If, as is mine, your main concern is lifetime and not the looks, give this a try and share your experience. Mine is been fantastic!

Install for i747/i747m

:

Update Log

:

- 03/23/14 - Updated with the Calendar. Also added my SecVideoList xml edits. Hopefully this time FlashBarService works properly too. I didn't actually get to test the video player list (SecVideoList) besides the one I recompiled and posted so let me know if the background is black or white. Same goes with multiwindow. Just figured I'd rush this out because its been about a month. I will probably get a chance to test this out later in the week but the only problems will probably be those 2 not working and they are both posted as flashable zips in here also.

Fix for Multiwindow

- [MENTION=2147860]Kdio[/MENTION] implemented the xml files I edited for this into the aroma. Should work fine for all of you. I will keep the fix posted in case though or if in the future we decide to separate them again.

Uninstall

:

- Enter recovery;

- Wipe Cache and Dalvik

- Flash back your ROM without wiping system/data.

- Restart your device;

To-Do

- Fix for Multiwindow text color

- Fix for remaining blue in notification panel (For now you can use wanam xposed but I will work on this soon)

- You tell me
