I've just installed this and it looks great. But I'm getting unexpected reboots sometimes. It happened just now when I tried to go into the settings menu.

I've had the ROM installed for about an hour and had three reboots. I'll try to post more information as it happens in the future.....

I am getting fantastic battery life with this. Over 2 days so far at 26% remaining (hyperion extended battery).

Same exact thing here. Seems to happen when I get into settings for the second time after reboot. First time works fine.

Love the rom! Only major issue I've been experiencing is battery life which is odd because it seems like I'm the only one...I know different phones may run differently on the same rom but mine seems lower than it should be. Right now I'm at 20% from a full charge with only 6 hrs on battery. This was after only mild texting. If I use other things such as camera, twitter, gmaps...etc. I can expect around 2-3 hrs on my battery.

I was hoping someone could suggest a kernel or settings I may have missed that could possibly help? Or could I just have a bad battery? I did a clean flash and am running the kernel that came with the rom. Thanks for any advice!

I've been using your settings on a couple different kernels - What are they optimized for? Speed, battery or a combination of both?
If not for battery, what would you change to make it/them the most battery efficient? I jumped from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 and it seems like the battery is mildly worse, I was wondering (hoping) you have "performance" settings listed...

Would the color settings change the battery life?

I am currently using Mpokang SuperRam Kernel with my settings on LiquidSmooth 3.0 and my battery life is fantastic! My settings are adjusted for an optimal balance of performance and battery life. You can always lower the max cpu frequency for a slight battery bump but I found it's not that substantial.

As for color settings, nope, they won't affect battery. Screen brightness will though. With my color settings I use 50% brightness and the screen still looks great.

I don't want to further derail this thread so if you need anymore help drop by my kernel settings thread here on XDA or my G+ Community, links to both can be found in my signature. ;)

Update: I have had a few SwiftKey crashes while using SMS. Unsure if it is a ROM, Kernel, or SwiftKey issue. Still loving the ROM.

Bug: Help needed

Today I had a swim meet for my university and I put my phone in airplane mode to save battery seeing as there was no service in the pool area. After the meet I took it out of airplane mode and now it cannot reconnect to Verizon's network. It always says "searching for service" and doesn't find it(I've left it for 2 hours) I do get wifi connection though. I have rebooted about 3 times, powered off and turned back on 2 times, and also removed battery and SIM card and put it back in and no luck so far. I will probably do a clean re-flash of codename if no one comes up with a better idea towards a fix for this within the next 12 or so hours.


Thanks for your time.

Did you go to data options and make sure it's on 4g still? It may have changed itself

Milwaukee is always home.
Starting to get curious about if this will actually be 'weekly' builds given the fact that the initial release(1-6) is still the current one on the 24th of January.
Hope my curiosity is premature bec so many ppl were pumped about seeing this return, including me.

Tried the latest Gummy? Very smooth and perfect choice of features.

    I have now had 2 random freeze ups that required battery pulls. Was using askp grande kernel. Have switched to fancy to see if that helps.

    Download link broken and where do I get gapps from?
    Good riddance to CNA and its creator. Better off without it.
