Definitely do. Don't miss out!
Here, I'll help remove the mystery.

App looks like it would be awesome but without root I'm not able to control CPU so its not worth it for me. I use widgets to control everything that the program does and then I don't need to have it running in the backround

Glad that works for you. Me personally, I'd rather let an app do it. Then it can still let things in every so often without me doing anything. And the battery use is minimal in the background.
JuiceDefender works... it's a good application. The more time you spend setting it up correctly, the better it works. And having UltimateJuice is a must.
I don't believe in Taskillers as they are just taking up CPU cycles killing off applications that aren't even doing anything (read up on how Android works to understand this fully, mainly how it kills of application and how they can be open and dormant).
gonna give this a shot, thanks
What is the proper way to set up, or some decent configurations for Juice Defender? I've tried it but I really do not understand it at all.
Giving it a try on Fresh 3.1.0.1.

actually seems like a pretty good app, setcpu saves me so much battery already just by underclocking when the screen is off idk if i need to sacrifice my data connections. anyone know the benefits of ultimate juice?

If you set it up as I do in the video, I've found that its a very good balance.

Agreed on both accounts. You gotta go for UltimateJuice and I can't emphasize more that task killers really don't help. You're completely right on your points. The apps aren't doing anything. Android doesn't handle background apps poorly like a PC.

In the video I state the benefits of UltimateJuice. Also, with JuiceDefender you'll be able to underclock as you do with setcpu. Saves you a running app as well

I know...my cube is right next to the door with the director of my department going in and out of it all day long. So it's stealthier for me to watch a video on my desktop rather than my phone.
Oh the woes of an intern.

Oh, it's just a big advertisement for JuiceDefender. I thought it was providing some acutal tweaks and settings to change and some data to back it up.
When I open some apps, it only cover little over half the screen. Below are some screenshots of the apps with 480x720 res issue I was referring to. Doesn't have any problem when I was on 2.2.2 though.
Edit : SOLVED

Spare parts from the market I believe there is a check mark for compatibility mod or something
It's ironic because Spare Parts runs at half resolution itself.

Welcome bro, always glad to help
I love you man
Hope devs will somehow saw this thread and update it in their roms
it nice bro
Hi,
For "roms" you could just include spare parts. If not, you need to write an app that sets Settings.System.COMPATIBILITY_MODE to 0.
Cheers!

What would this do in terms of stability? It would make sense that unchecking compatibility mode would break something.

Hi,
You would hope that none of the included system apps or bundled bloat would need compatibility mode. And older apps in the market that might need it probably aren't worth keeping.
Cheers!
Everything seems to be working just fine though
Are there any apps available that can lock out the buttons or change which button to wake the phone only.
I know i can lock the screen but when its in my pocket the screens keeps coming on and draining the battery. So maybe something that will lock out the front buttonts and wake only with the volume key.
Ive seen pocket lock and sensor lock but they're old apps and cant find an updated version.
Thanks
Here is a flashable zip file which will disable wake from front facing buttons. Make sure you have wake on volume enabled!!!! Or you will NEVER wake your phone
Install it just like you install any other flashable zip file in CWM
Thanks for that.

Okay, only reason i ask is cause each device/ROM is different so im just curious
Hi, flashed it last night all working perfect. I'm using MIUI-2.3.30 and kernel 2.6.32.15-tytung r14-g6333fda, hope that helps.
Thanks again.

Hi, im getting some bad battery life's with any tw ROM. I get an average of 10hours with 2.5hours screen on. I've tried a lot of tweaks etc. Like disabling location services and down clocked CPU etc. I've disabled smart screen and all of those features. But when running stock android I can easily get 2days.
Someone know how to fix this.?

Well maybe that's why
Use BetterBatteryStats to see what's using your battery or maybe wakelocks, also use Greenify to hibernate apps you don't use
Greenify helps for a bit but it still bad

It won't be with play services, rather the Google app itself.
I wonder how this would compare legally to fingerprint/pin lock in regards to being compelled to unlock your device.

Don't think it would be any different than the other "trusted" options like face, location, and on-body. They are just smart compliments to backup pin/pattern locks.
Has anyone here received this update yet? I've been anxiously awaiting its arrival or been searching for an APK download. Looking forward to trying it out.
installed the latest, and it seemed to disable all security options... i would hold off

its probably not available for the nexus 6 because we have ok google with the screen off and not plugged in. thats my guess at least.
How do we enable that? Mine only works when screen is on and at desktop

Go to your Google now screen, click the hamburger menu button, click settings. Click voice, then "OK Google" detection. Then tick the always on setting.

im running terminus. but the stock options are just like the ones i posted. either euphoria is missing some files/code, or you somehow are. find out if other euphoria users have ok google working with the screen off and unplugged. if its just euphoria, now a days its easily fixable.

it would have to be fixed/enabled in the rom. but you might have a temporary solution, if it still works. i started a thread last year about this, and not working on aosp roms. until we finally found a solution to it(just some missing files in aosp source). check out the thread, yes its old now, but you might find a temporary solurion in there that will work for you. and please ask, thats the only way we will find out if its the rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ok-google-everywhere-aosp-rom-t2963716
