How to Get Better Battery Life from Your Android Phone
Source ...If you have a modern Android phone, you know the pain of turning on your phone at 5 PM only to realize it's deep in a low-battery coma. Here are the simple manual changes, and clever automatic tweaks, that will keep your phone awake and useful for far longer.
The best thing about that article is "Don't use a task killer". Way too many people use them and in the long run it can cause more problems then just a few hours of extra battery life a day.
Best way I found was to try find a custom kernel. Longest I've had my phone go without a charge is 2 and a half days, and with just general usage I was getting that a lot.
The only problem with newer kernels though is that the 2.6.38.xx versions have diabolical transfer rates to SD card when connected to PC etc, but they offer better battery life.
Yea, as easy as it is using the kitchens etc I find it much more fun doing it myself.
I think when I get enough free time I'll work on putting a ROM together for myself using the ROM kitchen you linked to.
I made one from stock using [KITCHEN][APR. 24 '11] HTC Android Kitchen, v0.158 [Linux / Mac / Windows] - xda-developers with few mod for frameworks and remove some apps etc. it was nice .. I didn't post anywhere .. Just did it for fun
Got them sorted and they look great. Find them much better than the stock Sense icons. Only thing that didn't work was the USB notification icon when the phone's connected to the PC, but I'll have a look at that another time.
Found a music player called IVR Music Player, which is a voice recognition one. It's still not all that accurate Google voice actions, but speaking clearly can yield some good results. I wanted something for while I'm driving and I can just talk to my phone to change songs, lol. Only problem with this music player is if it finds the song I want it doesn't play it, but just displays it and I have to manually click play.
Might make it a project for over Summer and write my own voice recognition music player, lol. I'll throw it on the same pile as the Seven Forums Android app I said I'd have a play with making.
