Root [APP] [Better Esteem] v1.0

GTurn

Android Enthusiast
First off, I am not an app developer. I am not developing this app with the android sdk. I am using the Android app "Tasker" and the app "App Factory". This is my attempt to take some Tasker profiles I have been using on my phone and make them work as an app so I can share it with others on this forum and with friends and family that don't use tasker.
My main objective is to have the most battery life possible and still be able to periodically get my updates from email and other sources and to make some things a little easier or quicker to do and to make the overall usage of the phone better. Hence the name. I have used a lot of battery saving apps and haven't found one yet that actually works the way I want it to work very well. I am incorporating different features and ideas from different apps into my one app.
I have been using the profiles with tasker and I get much more battery life than when I don't use them. Sometimes more than double. It depends on how I used the phone that day.


At this time the app should work on any phone but eventually it will be Esteem specific mainly due to kernal specific features. Ie. cpu speed control.
the way to use this app is to turn off mobile data and autosync and let it auto sync itself. eventually it will turn on data when you open certain apps but for now you can long press the search button to bring up the apps power menu.
Future Versions
I have a lot of features I want to add but there are too many to list at this time.
some include- adding apps for the mobile data to come on when the app is opened.
cpu control
automatically open gps settings when an app needs it.
And much more.

Feed back is welcome. Thank you.

auto syncs every 30 minutes (turns on mobile data and autosync to recieve emails and updates)

long press search button to bring up power menu from any where. (When you have any app open)

If you have the free version of fast reboot it will do a quick boot every hour to make it run smoother.

Changes brightness level to about 70% when plugged into charger.
 
Op updated.

New download link. Please reread version section if you already read it before.
 
Looks like it has potential. Well minimize the use of apps like quick bout and juice defender. :)

Yeah. I have the paid version of JD and i barely ever notice any difference in my battery. It will say 2.49 and die in 4 hours sometimes. lol.
 
Ok. Its starting to come together. I added access to the power menu to the home screen and updated the power menu.

I have had it on my wifes phone for 3 days and her battery life has doubled. She normally gets around 5 hours on a charge.

Nice app but having problems well playing games online. The app just auto sync and turn my 4g off and I lose the game because of loss connection
Okay. It should work properly now. Please download the update and let me know if it works for you. I didn't realize it was doing that. I have been testing it on another phone that doesn't have 4g and it was working fine on that phone. I had to change it so that it would work with 4g properly. Do you know if it is doing that same thing on wifi?
 
I had to change the download link. Can't upload to dev host anymore for some reason.
