Default Black and White Theme to Extend Battery Life!

After doing some reading, I discovered how our screens work to show colors.
Black and White use less battery than other brighter colors.
So I found a Black and White AOKP theme and applied it.
I must say, I can tell a BIG difference in battery life.

Before, running UniPorn latest build with a colored theme, I would generally get 8 - 12 hours.

Now running black and white... 8 hours later and I still have 60% left.
(see screenshot)

I have been reading up on the backlight settings, and am now going to start messing around with the values to see if I can further increase battery life.

Thanks again to everyone involved in making the awesome UniPorn ROM!!

I have found this app to be a great photo tweaking for dark making or toning wallies...to help in battery life. Worked great on my infuse...still using it on my note...

You can pull the wall paper from my MUF. Totally black..and only 7kb.
Do you need THIS for your Infuse?

You should not do THIS without one of THESE.
