Improving Battery Life and Graphical user Interface for an Android based Phone

Abstract

Android is the latest trend in mobile operating systems. Even though it has wide range of applications, the power utilization for application is more which affects the battery performance. In present generation the use of middle class android devices are more which is built on Qualcomm chipset. So, we modify the algorithm given for Beagle board and apply changes to the android framework. As kernel plays a vital role in computing so it is important to maintain performance while tuning for better battery life. After optimizing algorithm we include those in the scripts for ROM preparation. Modifications in the interface like improving touch sensitivity, Stylish transition between screens, transparent task bar, etc are also added to the ROM scripts by using android kitchen. In the end a lightweight ROM is deployed and users are given full access to clock the CPU speed and customize the interface. A cross check is done between the existing ROM and customized ROM for projecting the improvements. The customized ROM is applicable for daily use in android devices which supports gingerbread version (2.3).
