Thoughts on battery life: I think sometimes people read these threads and get excited about what other people are getting compared to their own experience. If you're only getting 10 hours out of your battery, there is no ROM or tweak in the world that will triple your battery life. It's all comparative, because everyone's usage is different.
Example: I never let my battery get below 15% or so before swapping it with a freshly charged one, but it takes me about 36 hours to get to that point. It's not that the ROM or tweaks accomplished that for me. It's because I'm likely a lighter user than many of you and I'm very selective about what apps run on my phone. For comparison, (I'm still on CleanROM 3.5, haven't flashed 3.6 yet) I got about 24 hours out of the stock ROM. That's more than a 50% increase... not too shabby.
So, in comparison, if you typically got say 10 hours out of the stock ROM, and this ROM (or any of the others) got you up to say 15 hours... you'd be doing about as well as me. Are you getting the life I am? No, and you won't... because whatever you're doing with your phone is more intensive than what I'm doing. But, you'd be seeing about the same percentage of improvement.
I know that probably 80% of you realize this. My rant is aimed at the 20%.
Carry on. And Scott... once again, great work!
