The all important battery life

I just recently made the switch from Mikfroyo 4.4 to CM7 nightly 14 and I will say i was getting waaay better battery life on Mikfroyo. Using CM7 nightly 14 I am getting superior 4G connection to any theme/rom that I have ever used. That could also be on Sprint's end though as I read a couple other posts stating they were suddenly getting better connection speeds.

EDIT: Just realized Cyanogenmod came with it's own custom kernel. That would explain the battery life difference. Switching back to HTC Stock Kernel 17
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
It's going to be tough working out issues that neither the devs nor the testers are experiencing. I wonder what causes issues like this? Hmmm....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] neilkarunatilaka:
Not to sound like a total ass, but what relevance does this have to the topic? Shouldn't you post this on the CM7 Thread? LOL :rolleyes:

---

Beatblaster - Quick question. I was making some MattedBlues icons for some apps I use that I can switch myself using ADW. Was just curious if this was something you and Jabba have ever thought of doing down the road, like releasing Icon packs for ADW or something. Was just curious. I have my 3 custom icons I need so far so I'm happy haha :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Actually, YES! Jabba just brought that up, like, 2 nights ago. I'm not sure where we're at in terms of a release but I say if you want to theme icons then go for it. Just please remember to use the color code 73b6d6 so everything looks spiffy :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] neilkarunatilaka:
:cool: - Looking forward to it, can't wait.

* That color code helps also ;)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DonPanda:
Some1 tested it with ARHD 3.0 or new 4.0?

Is it flashable?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] asalott2:
I don't need to explain my post to you. No one wants to read your "opinion" of my post.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] neodorian:
Not sure which widgets you miss but LauncherPro has some very similar ones. I used to really like the grid calendar but I've been on non-Sense ROMs for a while now and I've found equal or better (for me) replacements for everything.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] neilkarunatilaka:
Sure I would love to see the noticeable differences between the ROMS, but I feel this thread is for a THEME and should stay relevant to the theme and not comparing of the ROMs or posting specific questions about a ROM as that is why there are threads for those roms ;) Yes this theme supports multiple roms (Mik, CM7, etc,.), but your post had no relevance to the theme at all. You were posting about battery life or whatever. I understand what you are saying by people wanting to see the differences between the roms to see which one is best that they should pick, but I don't feel that this thread is the place to do that.

It seems better suited for you to put your posts regarding the "roms" and/or "battery life" in the respective threads for Mik, CM7, etc,. unless there is question pertaining to something affected by applying the Mattedblues theme.

OR Create an entirely new thread comparing the two roms. I just feel that your post and even my response post I'm typing now, have no relevance to the Mattedblues theme and shouldn't even be posted in this thread as its somewhat off-topic and just cluttering things up haha.

Again, these are just my opinions. :p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DonPanda:
Just a little "widget" for example: It's not possible to connect your device via USB and connect to the internet. Sense ROMs got this option.

That is the only reason why i stay at ARHD
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] asalott2:
Keep up the good work on this theme guys. It looks and runs great.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CheesyNutz:
mines fine dialer is fine contacts are fine
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iamsavedme30:
Just have a question about the font. Anyway to make it bolder? Besides that, great theme as usual. I've always.used sense roms and recently have fallen inlove with Cm7, I always used this theme on sense. Another added bonus is the keyboard, it seems like the keys are wider .

Great job as usual beat!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DonPanda:
Well... I've tried it, but i can't install it with cwm 3.0.0.6. There are some errors @ cwm and it breaks up the installation.

I've got cm-7-nightly-15.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kyoon19:
runs perfectly on mikfroyo v4.5. thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iamsavedme30:
Are the launcher pro icons up to date?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CheesyNutz:
wrong thread
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iamsavedme30:
Is there another thread for matted blues launcher pro icon packs?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] INebilim:
Stop being a Mod-wannabe.

they dont really need to updated. all the "basic" icons like phone, text, etc are included already :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jimbobtexas:
I'll deftly dismiss your smart-ass innuendo and report back with facts, as promised. The second time around was the charm. I wiped cache and Dalvik, flashed the .zip, rebooted, and all the goodies are in their proper place.

You tell ME what causes issues like this, when the exact same procedure is followed, yet yields different results?

On another note, I'm gonna need some bigger fonts for this theme. My eyes aren't what they used to be. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] CheesyNutz:
what in the hell are you talking about ? i made a post in the wrong thread and fixed it
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
Does anyone wanna take a stab at putting a MB theme on this dock?

Mainly the tiny white outlines around the edge like the genie-widget... maybe a little darker transparency too?

Would go well I think.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Nnyan:
/sigh Kinda Ironic.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Nnyan:
Since the Sense versions have not been updated in awhile does anyone happen to have the app icons from the latest version? I took a look into the 2.6 zip but for the life of me I could not find any icons in there.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] neilkarunatilaka:
Probably little gremlins or faries in your phone that messing things up. I'm sorry to inform you of that :(

Damn gremlims I tell you :rolleyes:

Haha, in all seriousness, there are probably lots of different factors that may have contributed to this. This just seems like an isolated incident to me (correct me if I'm wrong, haven't kept up with the thread recently) and something probably just went wrong during the flashing process. It happens sometimes. I don't know lol, wait for Beat or someone more qualified to chime in if they have any input :)

But at least you got it working after a reflash, very minor inconvenience right? :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Way to talk to the guy who spends his free time trying to make YOU happy. I really don't need this.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
Don't let 1 or 2 ungrateful jerks mislead you beat.

The majority of us appreciate the work you put in. Most of us also understand that sometimes issues pop up, it may be something in the theme, it may not be... but it happens.

Whenever something went wrong in making the theme, it's been fixed.. for everything else... there is a solution.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Thanks dude. I *really* appreciate that. :) Alright! Now I'm motivated again!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] INebilim:
Your work is certainly the best I have seen in a long time. Keep it up.

You gotta love the trolls eh?

Sent from my iPhail 4
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
Thank you very much :) And "oh yeah, I love me some trolls." /sarcasm
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] drummingfool:
So....

I tried flashing the zip (#14) via ClockworkMod on RC2, and install failed, after which I couldnt boot. Had to reflash CM and kernel.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
CWM is borked. You can flash this theme with RA.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Iceberg0982:
I got it to work on MikFroyo 4.5 but my dialer is missing.

Weird. I've tried 1.5 & 1.6 Standard & Engraved. Each Reflash the Dialer is back but once I place the MB theme on.. Poooff!! Its Gone!.

I'm stuck, any suggestions.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iamsavedme30:
I'm sorry I'm still confused, are the icons up to date. I'd really like icons other than the glass.

Beat I pray you saw my compliments from earlier.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
Are you using the Mik4.4 version of MB? I have flashed it over Mik4.5 a few times without any issues whatsoever.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Iceberg0982:
No I haven't but I'll it.

I'll try that!... Thank you kind sir.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] WrlsFanatic:
When we get icons made, I'll gladly work on putting together a Widgetlocker theme for this as well. All I'd need is one of the graphics of the pull tabs where it says "Unlock" or "Sound Off", etc.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Iceberg0982:
Thank you ejchis.

It worked!!

I don't know why I didnt think of that.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thegregbradley:
Why do you have to flash this as a zip instead of being an APK like other themes I've installed?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] neilkarunatilaka:
Response : http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11439127&postcount=2759

Lol. :rolleyes:
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thegregbradley:
Hah... thank you, that was about 500 posts back and I didn't want to read through 300 pages to figure that out.

Thought I don't exactly understand how there's so many other themes out in APK form and this one needs to be flashed... well, I'd happily switch to this one when I don't have to flash it via zip, I just don't feel like doing another nandroid, switching recoveries to RA and messing with things right now, too much work and Cyanbread is good enough for the moment. Perhaps when CM7 final comes out or something. Theme looks totally dope and I'd love to run it some day! Guarantee it'd have a ****load of downloads/donations if it made it to the market, it's really in the dev's best interest to make an APK out of this.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] WrlsFanatic:
Just some thoughts... don't take these as attacks directed at you:

1) Clockwork Mod sucks... hard. You shouldn't use it in the first place

2) I want a theme to theme EVERYTHING. You know that orange glow you get when you're at the end of a list that tells you you're at the bottom? This makes it blue. I couldn't stand to NOT have that themed. I don't know exactly which elements he can't theme if he went the .apk route, but it's so easy to switch ROMs with Titanium Backup anyway, I have no qualms with switching around. If I'm bored, it takes about 1/2 hour to have EVERYTHING setup the same as before.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
Glad it worked for you. I keep going back and forth between Mik4.5 and the latest CM7 nightly. I can't imagine dropping Mik altogether, even though CM7 is a lot more fun to keep up with. 4.5 is an outstanding ROM.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
The theme chooser is nice, but it doesn't allow all the elements to be themed liek flashing does.. maybe it will one day, who knows. It is also still new and not available everywhere for every rom while flashing themes has been the norm for a while now.

It really isn't hard to flash RA through rom manager and then flash this theme.. if you weren't already rooted and flashing a custom rom then maybe I could understand more. The whole process take 5-10 minutes.

If someone doesn't "feel" like doing it, then that's fine.. not every dev "feels" like re-writing and troubleshooting his entire theme just to get minimal results out of it as an apk right now.

I'm sure if the theme chooser gets better, more people will use it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
One of the main reasons this theme is so great is the fact that the theming is so comprehensive. When I've been intrigued by a ROM and haven't felt like waiting a mere day or two for there to be an MB theme for it, I used to think I could "get by" on cyanbread or whatever. But, after becoming accustomed to such a complete theme, I have found that other options can feel very insufficient.

Hop into ROM Manager, flash RA, do a nandroid backup, and flash MB. It literally will take less than ten minutes. I would bet money you'll be hooked once you reboot. If not, it takes three minutes to go back to where you were.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] neodorian:
Or just leave RA on there, skip the ROM Manager part, boot into recovery, nandroid, flash, reboot. Much easier.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
I was assuming he was in CW. I agree with this. RA is the way to go.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] neodorian:
Yeah, I bought Rom Manager and don't mind having it or supporting it but whereas I thought it would make life easier, it's really not much better. Takes just as long to do things and some require RA anyway so I just went back to RA. The only thing I like about it is it is slightly easier to download a ROM update than downloading to my computer and moving it over. Otherwise, it's not worth the hassle of swapping recoveries all the time.

Anyway sorry to get off topic. That mattedblues helped convince me to stop using an app I paid for says something about its quality. I've seen no other ROM or mod aside from MIUI that so thoroughly and consistently themes a ROM in an attractive way that doesn't look like someone just changed a bunch of fonts and added weird non-matching colors and icons to everything.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jimbobtexas:
All I've done is report facts back to you, based on my experience. Take that any way you see fit. You insinuated that it was user error. Gosh, I hope I can sleep tonight.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thegregbradley:
Cyanbread does theme that little glow! I'm pretty sure the APK route can do quite a bit, but actually now I'm quite interested in seeing how thorough this theme is! And I use MyBackup, but it's basically the same, just sorta time consuming. I've been "meaning" to switch to RAs, as I do all my flashing manually now and don't even use Rom Manager... I'll probably do it soon, just tired of screwing with the guts of my phone for the moment (eating up all my time when I'm supposed to be working, haha... my fault)

The only reason I mention the APK route is not just for my ease, but for visibility on the market and potential donations/payments for such a lovely theme. I'm not *****ing (too hard anyway, heh) about it not being "easy," so much as I'm sort of suggesting to the dev to toss it into APK form if he can, for his own benefit :) But now I'm realizing that theme chooser isn't as thorough as it probably could be, so this is probably the reason. I'm learning :)

Thanks for the responses, fellas!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
It's all gravy gregbradley.

I'm sure in time the theme chooser will improve, and more options will be available.

When you get a chance to do a nand, give it a flash.. it's a complete theme with widgets and all...quite easy and quite nice. You won't have to set your rom up again, just flash this on top of it and you're good to go. Make sure you use the correct theme for the correct rom version.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] -shift-:
Tmo is already working on making the engine more comprehensive. It's not a question of if, but when. I'm a huge fan of zips, but the versatile engine shows a lot of promise.

Swyped from my EVO
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] thegregbradley:
Just flashed RA and updating to CM7 nightly 14 so I can mess. Haha. God damnint. Modding is so freakin' addicting, I have a problem.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
It is, I enjoy it tho... well, I enjoy customizing my phone with the mods/themes/roms other people make because I can't make them =( .

**edit** Anyone feel like posting a few screens of your MB set ups? I'm in a slump and could use some ideas =\
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] beatblaster:
I'd post mine but it would look weird to you guys since I'm running mikfroyo Z at the moment :)
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
It's cool beat... I think I just need a new wall and dock.. just in a slump right now =p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] iamsavedme30:
Beat I've posted this earlier today. Where can I get icons for your theme for launcher pro?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SynGamer:
My gawd, this theme is sexy. If if ever makes its way over to the Captivate (Andromeda perhaps?)...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rabscutle:

Excellent, very clean. Thanks for posting
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rabscutle:
No problem and thank you... I finally found a setup that I like... wish I could do multi-sets to satisfy all the different looks I would love to try.

So frustrating to find a new widget or whatever that doesn't quite fit what has become comfortable.

The best part about MB in my setup is how elegant the font looks in Make Your Clock and Minimalist Text.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rabscutle:
I'm not addicted at all... I can stop anytime... my sig doesn't mean I want to mold the world to fit my whim... seriously. I can stop....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] barnacles10:
Jabba, stopped by to say your theme has come a long way. Looks great. Nice work man.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
You know in CM7 you can change the notification color on the notification power Widgets? Subtle, but very nice looking when switched from green to the powder blue.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rabscutle:
OOOO Thanks! Just tiny tweaks like that keep making this theme even better.

Beat, did you realize this?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
I had never used a screenshot app, so I just downloaded a free one and took some shots. I'm emailing them to myself to redact some information on my work computer. I'll post when they're ready.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
Here are some shots of my setup. Pretty simple, but I'm happy with it.

Let's see if this works. This is my first time posting anything beyond basic text.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
Should have posted one with some of the notification power widgets activated. Here's one.

i guess that would make it truly mattte but i got to be honest the way it is is razor sharp, if it makes your life easier then all good, personally i have no problems with any of the color's. But, you da boss
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Which image...the background or the blue that goes up and down? The BG is menu_background or panel_background in framework-res and the blue is an xml titled progress_horizontal in framework-res/drawable I think
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ajftl:
ok i was running this with CM6 and loved it... running now bakedsnack 1.6 .. any one try this on bakedsnack?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Haven't tried it on Baked yet but I was going to soon. Hero_Over makes some awesome ROMs. Right now I'm stuck on CM6 simply because of the speed, stability, and the goodies in CyanogenMod settings
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xlGmanlx:
rocked it on 1.6 and 1.7, flash away brother
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ajftl:
hard for me to switch from cm6 bro.. i always like to try different roms.. almost all of them ive tried lol bakedsnack speed is like CM6 no kidding (kernel #4) u would get better score on quadrant with cm6 but phone performance snappy/responsive bakedsnack have it

for real i have all of cm6 nightly's lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ajftl:
u did the sense 2.2 of course right? just double checking lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xlGmanlx:
fresh was my first daily driver for a while but to be honest Evio and Baked snacks are my two favorite. If you haven't tried Calk's beta, i suggest that as well, both very talented ROM dev's

How come Im not able to update launcher pro myself? It says update not installed, anyway to remove it so I can install it on my own? Thanks for the nice theme!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Because it's a system file. It's updated to the latest version 0.7.7.2
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] brock1909:
thanks a lot man, it was the .xml i was looking for.

i do have a question. In launcherPro there isnt a transparnt taskbar, even when you change the .png in framework. BUT if you do change that .png and assign a swipe action in launcher pro to show/hide statusbar, it will show up transparent until you open an application that uses a nontransparent statusbar background. i am THINKING there is an .xml that controls the size of the wallpaper on the man screen that launcher pro uses, and maybe if it is altered to have the wallpaper take the whole screen ( if that makes any sense) we can get the transparent statusbar so many of us are trying to get. i guess a wallpaper hack is what im trying to say. i just have no .xml editing experience to even try...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] saqibaz:
Mind linking the wallpaper :D
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MikeC84:
The latest sense version changes the stock android weather images on android weather news widget. Still not sure how to revert back to android weather images
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
Dude if you don't like it don't use it. Or you could use Root Explorer navigate to /system/app and delete GenieWidget and install a stock one. Or you can wait until I fix it...its not a big deal
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
+1

Chill out on the widget man, he said he would look into it when he gets back....let him enjoy his weekend lol
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MikeC84:
I love your theme, it's great work! He asked how it was running on BS, that's what I run, so I told him.. brother dang.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jabbawalkee:
So I've been thinking for the vanilla lockscreen that I'd change the blue outline on the sliders to gray or white, probably gray (as someone had suggested). I think it is too bright and I want something more subtle. Thoughts?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
Yea I'd go with gray!

I'm gonna flash CM6 just to check out all the goodies in the version you made for it...but it has too many issues for me to keep it as my daily ~ Just wanna check it out tho
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] androidboy69:
Hi can someone post a mirror to the alternate cm version. The latest one.?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] albertkinng:
Sorry if my Q is dumb... how do I install this? I've got CM 7, do I flash it or what?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Nnyan:
make sure you take a nandroid backup (and get the right version of the theme) then flash in recovery.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Nnyan:
hmmm...weird issue I've seen several times now. After a fresh flash of CM7 #14, gapps and this theme there are several default apps missing (most commonly the dialer). If I wipe and just install #14 and gapps then everything is good.

I've been flashing these in the same recovery session (#14, gapps and MB 2.6) but I'll seperate MB with a reboot then flash it see how that works.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rippley05:
Yea, you're definitely supposed to flash cm+gapps in the same session then let it fully boot and sync, then go back to recovery and flash your theme.

Hopefully it works for you this time.

I was gonna try to mention this to the other guy who was having issues, but he was such a jerk... I'd rather him not figure it out so we don't have him posting in here =p
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ejchis:
How Could I Forget

Forgot to show off my nicely themed Handcent and Ultra Keyboard. So many cool features to flaunt...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Nnyan:
Thanks man glad to get confirmation! In the process now and after the flash the phone is still there so it was the theme somehow. I'm cautious now should I restore my apps from TB or just re-download them all in market?

I tried to search but I wasn't able to find anything on this anyone getting their bluetooth disconnecting/reconnecting every few mins?

I'm also seeing the Market issue with not being able to download anything (stays at Downloading...") but ONLY when connected to Wifi, if i turn off the radio downloads start almost immediately.
