Last night on Twitter I stumbled upon an awesome tweak called BatterDoctorPro. I found out later I didn’t need other tweaks like NCSettings, WidgeTask, WeeKillBackground and unfortunately removed Auxo (due to compatibility reasons at the time of writing this article). Auxo is cut off by a hair in the multitasking bar. However, if you send the developer behind BatteryDoctorPro an email they will send you BatteryControlPro Beta for Auxo. Additionally, if you select the album artwork from within the Multitasking bar then Notificaiton Center you won’t be able to back out of it unless you go down to the stock Multitasking bar. Anyways, enough of the minor problems, let’s get into what BatteryDoctorPro can do for you!
BatteryDoctorPro isn’t just a battery meter, it gives users lots of options, like battery profiles, shortcut toggles, app usage tracking and more. The app took a little while to find in Cydia, because I couldn’t find it just by entering in the name of the app. I individually selected the BigBoss repo under sources, and selected the third to last non English letter to find it.
When installing BatteryDoctorPro the tweak will install a icon on your SpringBoard. If you are plugged into an outlet you will notice on your Lockscreen a nice heads up display that will show you how much time is left until your iDevice is fully charged and the charge percentage.
After installing the tweak you may get a notification alerting you to the introductory process for BatteryDoctorPro. If not, you can double tap on the status bar to start the app. You can of course change BatteryDoctorPro’s Activator option as well.
Now you will see all kinds of amazing goodies; Multitasking bar, shortcut toggles, used memory and profiles. BatteryDoctorPro comes with so many different toggles you can either get rid of NCSettings or SBSettings as well. If you tap on “used memory” all the apps will close. Since there’s a Multitasking bar and an option to close all the apps I can now remove WidgetTask and WeeKillBackground. Profiles have three different configured battery settings to choose from; Indoor, Outdoor and Alarm settings, which you can setup to your liking as well.
In order to configure your Battery settings you can click on “setting” from the profile pop-up menu. This will take you to the application as if you click on the SpringBoard icon itself.
Here you will be able to select any of the configured battery profiles and swipe left to configure each profile to your liking. You will have the option to turn on or off certain toggles for that particular mode like, WiFi, Data, Airplane mode and more. There’s even an additional setting for brightness to remember your individual brightness percentage.
Now if you swipe right you will see all kids of options from the “List” menu and “Other”. We have already gone over the Modes menu for the different configured profile battery modes.
From the image above I’m going to go over Settings under “Other” as there are plenty of options. This is where you can Customize all twenty of the different toggles. Anything from the simple brightness and flashlight toggle to TaskClear and Reboot. You can enable or disable Modes and Multitasking in the Notification Center or display single-line or double-line under “Display settings of NC”. In the “Smart saving settings” there are all kinds of options for Standby, Sleep and Low-Power. There are so many options just in settings alone it would take a long time to cover.
Now Im going to show you some of the other options from the “List” menu such as Recharge and Records. Recharge is pretty self-explanatory and users can select the different numbers of the charging process to show a pop-up of what each stage is. Records keeps track of your charging history as shown below.
The System screen not only shows what’s going on, but you can view all kinds of other information if you scroll down to see basic information, battery information, hardware, WiFi and more.
The Rank option shows what apps are running in the background, how long they’ve been opened and how much battery usage they have consumed. Obviously the tweak doesn’t remember how long you have used the different apps prior in time, I killed all the apps after installing the tweak. It could retrieve the data if you don’t kill all the apps running in the background upon installing the tweak though.
Don’t forget this tweak is built into the Notification Center as well. You can go to Settings/Notifications and drag the “BatterDoctor Widget” into the Notification Center where they want to.
BatteryDoctor Pro test version for Auxo
I think this tweak is great and I cannot believe it’s free! This tweak has so many options, I haven’t covered them all, but I’m sure you all will enjoy the exploring process! You’re more than welcome to leave your comments below.
BatteryControl Pro just updated their “test verstion” for Auxo. Now if a user selects the album artwork from the multitasking bar in Notification Center you can double click home button to go down to the regular multitasking bar to view and close out the album art work!!!
I owe you a beer for this one. Damn!
Great App! However, wish it could exempt some apps from killing, other than that, it’s great!
OMG i owe u a bicicle for this
my 3GS is in heaven now thanks alot!
I wish it could individually turn off or on mobile substrate add on’s
Wow, what a find! This has to be without a doubt one of my new favourite tweaks.
THIS TWEAK IS TRULY AWESOME FEELS LIKE I HAVE ANDROID NOTIFICATIONS NOW
wow! will try soonest
Hey uh, I installed it and now a bunch of my apps are gone. But according to the appstore it is installed. Anyone run into the same problem?
I just downloaded it and i really really love the UI and everything about it. How can something this good be free? Hope it isn’t some spying software. Again, thx for the find
Look man thanksssss,and all please delite sbsettings ,auxo ,NC ,all this tweak are history now for me,thay all become very big shit after i try this one lol,its perfectttttt:)
Does anybody have faced lagging or slowness after this tweak in iPhone4s ios 6.1.2.
This is an awesome tweak amd had it for a while now. Well i have to disagree with the author about deleting sbsettings.. sometimes my phone goes into a mode that i cant open any app via touchscreen, the wiggle but they dont open. So i invoke sbsettings by touching the status bar for a while and it saves my butt very often. Another thing is that battery pro is kind of ironic because it runs in the back consuming ram… just saying
There is an identical app by the same creator as well in App Store, but without “Pro”. This one has better & more functions.
I know:) SBSettings, also is good for turning on and off mobile substrate add on’s. Good point about it running in the background, dang. I guess Iv been wanting to try other things than just SBSettings
this tweak is heavy and it causes many apps to turn white or even disappear !!! it contain “fix icon” option, it only make you able to open apps that it ruined but not return the apps that disappeared
i faced this problem. the only way i found to fix this is by uninstalling the tweak and rebooting couple of times. the apps that are gone will come back but will not be back in folders
Typo in first sentence. Just saying…
whats the theme… i really liked it…
Iv seen it happened to my friends iPhone 4s by just plugging into his computer. Usually a reboot or re-spring works. Sometimes icons get out of order and worse case you have to re-organize
It is pretty awesome to be free, plus he had a test version for Auxo within 30 minutes after I asked “I wish it could fit Auxo”
This has made my battery life WORSE. Despite it being a great tweak, on my 4S the battery wasnt even lasting a day, on standby!
I have uninstalled and reinstalled about three times already with no problems. I’m using a 4S. Maybe it’s a compatibly issue with some tweak
I need to try this! ;)
Possibly the greatest tweak of all time. It replaces Auxo, sbsettings and killbackround. Simply amazing!!!
What font is installed on the device? PLEASE REPLY!
nice lock screen, what apps do you use?
