About this app

Why do you want this?

Tweaks for GO allows you tweak your phone when playing Pokémon™ GO! It allows you to save battery when playing Pokémon™ GO by tweaking your settings and by pseudo locking your phone with a black overlay that will make Pokémon™ GO keep running even with the screen dimmed or blacked. With this app you can even put the phone in your pocket while playing Pokémon™ GO.

→ Keep the app counting your steps, even when having the phone in your pocket
→ Optimise your battery usage
→ Theme this apps look

Check the demo video, it shows you an example how the app is used (it shows that it changes system settings when starting the app and reverting it when leaving the app) and it shows the black screen (does dim the screen as well to have a benefit on non AMOLED displays) that saves battery on amoled displays and locks the device.
