How to Dual Boot Multiple ROMs on Your Android Phone

multibootandroid

Whether you want to test out a new ROM for daily use or just keep an eye on one that's being developed, you can run multiple ROMs on your rooted Android phone with BootManager, and pick which one to use when you start it up. Having multiple ROMs to choose from is great, but flashing and re-flashing new ROMs just to try them out is annoying. If you want to try one out but don't want to fully flash it over your current ROM, BootManager will let you flash it (and up to three others) to your SD card, so you can try multiple ROMs at once. The ROMs you run from your SD card won't be quite as fast, and not every ROM out there will work, but it should give you a chance to try out most other ROMs without fully flashing them.

Android Revealed – Ultimate Tips 2 : Let's Learn Battery And Power Saving Tweaks

android_battery_1mf

Android, android, android. If you just try to catch the voice of tech world now, you will heard those 1st. What is android? Huh! It’s an smartphone. And I hope you already know that smartphones are not built to give you a continuous service for long. Normally smartphone’s battery will last for a day or highest two without charging even if you are not using it! Isn’t it panic? If you use your phone all day long for gaming, listening music, browsing and downloading, watching movies, then probably it will last for 6-7 hours (12 hour max). All the same, it is possible to extend the battery life for a little longer than you're getting at the moment and, with careful management, they should be able to get you from dawn to dusk and even beyond when you need them to.

Though some phones live a little longer than others on a single charge, all smartphones suffer from the same basic problem: They do too much. Any 3.7-volt battery small enough to fit into your phone's tiny chassis stands no chance of lasting multiple days under a steady workload of running apps, browsing the Web, sending e-mail, and doing whatever else phones are expected to do. (Oh yeah, making calls.)

The author's HTC Thunderbolt is lucky to survive an entire business day on one charge. But with the tricks in this article, he manages to get home at night with a little juice left in the battery.Most smartphone batteries today are rated at around 5 watt-hours, meaning that they can deliver a constant charge of 1 watt to the device over a period of 5 hours. If your phone actually uses 1 watt per hour, and you pull it off the charger at 7:00 a.m., you can expect it to be dead by lunchtime. So the key to increasing your phone's battery life is to reduce the amount of power the handset uses per hour.
