trying it, hoping it doesn't have any "battery draining" issues like other members are reporting.

Hi,

I have an Xperia X1 and did a fresh install of Agent47's latest ROM. I installed all the usual apps which I've had for quite some time. I also installed Max's Ultimate version 2.4 and S2U2 v.2.11 beta (version 2.10 had some problems when a call came in). I charged the battery to 100%, unplugged the phone, and then left it on overnight with only S2U2 running. 7 hours later I was down to 35% and the phone was locked up so I had to do a reset by pushing the stylus into the hole under the battery cover. I don't think it was Max's Ultimate since I've had that running for a week prior to using S2U2 and had no serious battery drainage issues so I can only think it has to be S2U2. I've uninstalled S2U2 and am in the process of charging the battery up to 100% to do more tests. I'll post as I find out more. I love this application, but the energy usage is a dealbreaker.

After removing S2U2, charging the battery to 100%, and a reset I set it down for about 7 1/2 hours. Every now and then I would pick it up and navigate the menus just to see it hasn't frozen. After that period of time of light usage the battery was still at 87%. That's about 1/5 the battery drain when S2U2 was installed and running. I'd love to use the application since it is so slick and wonderful, but the battery drain is so severe that I simply can't justify doing so. Hope this helps others.

Update: I've been using 2.12 for a day now and the hit on my battery is much, much lower. I estimate I can get a 1.5 days which is very much in line with what I think is acceptable since I tend to plug in my phone at work. This is a really great application and I really look forward to seeing what other wonderful things are to come.
