SPB Shell - Galaxy Tab 7.7 Themes and Apps

Just shelled out 15 for the launcher, pure eye candy, and wondering what you guys think. Not sure if it's me but it's seems to be a bit of a battery hog, anyone experiencing this? Any customization tips or recommend settings?

Ok this is what has been draining my battery today. Just want to note that I charged my phone overnight and turned it on this morning at 730am east coast time and this screen shot was taken at 1123am east coast time. I guess it's not that bad based on my normal usage.

I tried this launcher about a year ago and wasn't really a fan. You're right about the eye candy part. I also just tried chameleon launcher and refunded after 5 minutes of use. IMO that's a horrible launcher... how many widgets does on need on their home screens?

Battery question.

Does the screen really eat up that much battery? I do keep my screen on a lot from texting to social networks. Would a deferent kernel possible ease the screen usage or is that how much power the screen consumes with a pretty good amount of usage?

Yes ,
I turn auto off and run it about a 1/3 of the way and in the dark I turn it even Lower sometimes and the batt seems ok ,
If I was constantly doing stuff on the phone at that rate I get a good 3-3 1/2 hr and Im talking actually sitting with the phone on and doing constant stuff for that long .
Thanks for asking - I find that my display battery usage is just as high!
I'll have to try the auto off. Auto dim doesn't seem to work that good. I guess ill experiment after work with a different kernel and see if its any better this morning. Thanks for confirming

OK I fixed it lol. I tried the new Pegasus rom with the stockish kernel. Amazing! I recommend it.

Yea, I'm getting like 14-17 hours off of one charge. On De-Sensed it was like 8 hours.

Definitely getting great battery on the Pegasus ROM. I've found turning off you data when not using it effectively doubles my battery life. But then again I'm in an LTE area so that burns it up like you wouldn't believe when it's on and being used.

I don't have lte in my area. I'm going on 1 day and 1 hour with this rom. VERY pleased!

Extended Battery

Was wondering if anyone knows of a good extended battery?
Im kind of weary of them because before my Note II, I had an HTC EVO 3D and tried using an extended battery and it just fried the the display, it never worked again.
So I was wondering if someone could link me to an extended battery that actually worked for them, I would much appreciate it.
Thanks in advance .

Look in general area. I've been doing a review on the anker

Mugen is crazy asking for $100. I just got my Anker yesterday for 16 bucks on Amazon. Popped it in my phone and it had 50% juice in it. Right now almost 24 hours later I'm sitting at 35%. Still far from being able to tell how good it will be because I haven't had it long enough but it seems very promising.

+1 same question here mate
Hey guys I just got the hyperion 6200 with extended cover and here are my results so far in pics below.
I've had the screen brightness on about %20 the whole time. If you dont mind the bulk this thing is a beast! As of right now it was definitely worth $20. Hope this helps.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Thats not much better then stock battery imo, I can easily go 14-20+ hrs with at least 6-7 screen on time heavy usage. The note 2 is a phone that doesn't need an extended battery and deserves to stay the sexy ***** of a phone that it is (no prego back bump needed ) lol
Sent from my SCH-I605 aka macks jellybeans rom.
I definitely agree with the preggo look lol, but so far it seems like its gonna get through 2 days with heavy usage. I do like how long this battery is lasting, but only time will tell if I decide to fully stay with it.

You really can't compare your use to anyone else's. There are too many variables. It's best to compare with yourself. If you consistently get "35 hours with stock battery" would you get 70 with this one? Does anyone who uses an extended battery double or at least increase their usage considerably with it while maintaining the same usage patterns?

Well said! I did double my usage of two days instead of one through my first full charge (heavy user). I always keep my brightness at 20%, some calls emails, some gaming, constantly syncing, and mp3 player at least 4 hours a day. I kept my usage pattern the same since im mostly using it for work.
Only time will tell how long it'll last and how well it'll perform. For right now im happy with the purchase.

Following up with what I said earlier... Tho I do understand extended batteries can definetly be beneficial to extreme heavy users who are away from any way of charging their phone, im quite impressed with my results on stock battery with plenty more battery to kill b4 I get home from work (even on a 12+ hr shift)

Snapdragon BatteryGuru

Everyone who install this app please feedback your battery file improve?
4 days for learning mode today my xv enter to BatteryGuru on I will feedback my bettary life improve or not.
I had it installed a while back on my t, I waited for the learning period, afterwards I found more battery drain than before. I didn't think it was worth it.
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
I didn't notice any difference of battery life so I uninstalled it after a couple of days
Yeah I had it installed for about 3 weeks, and saw no significant change, so just uninstalled it
I used for around 2 weeks and noticed that was the cause of my battery drain. Not sure why for some it works well and doesn't for others.
Sent from my LT30p using xda premium
I also used.it for a few days but it kept my phone awake... So it wasnt really saving me any battery.
Sent from my LT30p using xda app-developers app
Had it for few weeks, no noticeable change at all, actually I think it was draining some extra battery in learning mode which took almost 1week lol, its not worth it

Almost 10 hour Screen On Time

Anyone else getting this awsome battery life on stock rom?

Screenie?
Ohh......i should get one lol. See if i can pull one soon when i get to that mark again

There is no way in hell you are getting 10 hours of screen on time per charge...
Maybe it was just a glitch but i spent 3 hours on phone with screen on fully and it went to 70% so i just expected 10=100

I doubt it was a glitch. That's not actually altogether uncommon, depending on your usage patterns. On the other hand, trying to extrapolate that out to ten hours of usage is kind of silly: batteries drain at different rates over different charge periods (particularly the first 10% and the last 20%), and it's unlikely your usage is going to stay constant the whole way through.
Yea ur right. I was just wondering if anyone else was experiencing awsome battery life

Battery isn't where it should be!

I just got my note3 on Friday and right out of the box the battery seemed way better than my s3. But after 2 days of using it stock and battery life seemed a little low at 3 1/2 hours screen time, I decided to root it and debloat all at&t and Samsung junk and battery doesn't seem to be much better even with greenify and power save on. Does anyone have suggestions to make the battery life closer to 6 hours screen time like I've been reading everywhere.?

My battery got to about 6 hours screen on time after I installed dynamic rom. The best I had was just over 6 hours screen on with a total up time of 1 and a half days.
Edit: currently I'm at 22% after 15.5 hours with 5 hours and 45 minutes screen on time.
I don't want to get to far away from stock. I just want to have "normal" battery life. I checked a few reviews out and almost all of them said they had over 6 hours screen time.

I would say it may be doable stock but it seems pretty optimistic to me. I guess you could turn brightness all the way down and turn on battery saver and other things but that makes the phone a bit harder to use and less enjoyable imo
Yea that's true I'll just wait for my zerolemon to get here :good:
