Before i start, just gotta say I'm aware mine is out of the ordinary given the amount of praise this room gets for the exact issues I'm about to rant about. Have alot of respect and gratitude for your work...
I used BAKA before, loved it, only a couple minor issues. Tried TSUGI, had a couple other issues and, sorry, hated the theme. Then Eaglesblood suddenly came out with an update for their stock based ROM and I rejoiced, as I had used their solid froyo release for a long time with 0 issues. I had one issue with their last release though, couldn't use any wifi connect back to my phone, apps that open a port to communicate back and forth. Dealt with it, finally decided to try TSUGI again with the last fixes and the new (much better) theme. Then the problems started.
I loaded it early yesterday, ran thru bloater, did the gps config for my area. Battery was already low, charged it, ran battery calibration. Later i installed a couple frequent apps (G+, GO Launcher, GPS Fix, CNN, and Juice Defender). Then I started my long evening driving around Baltimore to Western MD, down to West VA, over to N. VA, up to DC. When I first used GPS it took about 2 minutes to lock. Not great, but acceptable. Couple times later, pull over and wait for 5-6 min locks or get no locks, got lost a couple times. Drove me crazy. Going thru country back areas I would get NO signal sometimes in areas I've always been fine on. I'd frustratingly mess with that 2G toggle, restarts, get no service. What is that for and why add that extra control/difficulty? Phone switched between just fine before... I'm not asking that frustratingly, but seriously am curious as to its benefits. I go from major city to country to mountains to little towns all the time and I always pay attention to my network, it always switched around just fine. So GPS and signal issues all around!
I make it to final destination, unplug my phone from the car, go to dinner. About an hour later after dinner, during which i barely touched my phone because that would be rude, my battery was down to 80%. WHAT!!! As I knew i had a long night out, I opened and setup juice defender for the first time, set it to "Extreme" and blocked the couple running apps from accessing data. About 7 hours later (this morning) my battery was down to 17%!! I've left the house for a weekend, set juice defender on extreme, and had my phone last about a day and a half with light use on several occasions. With this ROM, down to 20% after 8 hours!?
So yeah, today, lots more driving, lots more GPS issues, extra driving from getting lost, and serious service issues when in more remote areas without 4G. I absolutely cannot use this ROM anymore.
With all that said, seriously not trying to attack or say your ROM sucks, cause I know it's been praised by many. Just for me though, most horrible ROM experience ever. I dont know why it was so different from so many others.
