I got no drain whatsoever. Battery life is perfect for me in this version and i don't even have power-save oriented settings.
kernel: 10.1 exp lite

Is that possible??

And in the case of that guy, he has used the phone very less, you can see it

Sent from my Xperia neo V

And here are an explanation for that..

First of all i'm not transferring files via usb (only if there are many small files), i set up an ftp server on my phone and connect to it via pc.
Brightness is at the lowest setting that you get with "disable auto brightness" enabled. And i even found that too much sometimes late at night.
But during that time i used maximum brightness for a short time as well to read a pdf.
Wifi is in my room. baseband 64 with very good signal reception (full bars) and 2g only. (data disabled)

I'm not trying to say that everyone should get the same battery life as me. In fact you should NOT get that much battery if you are using your android phone the way it was meant to be used.
And that is: the "always on" nature with updates and notifications etc.

What i'm highlighting here is that the version does not have a deep sleep issue at least. If it drains too much power while using some phone functions, that's different...
One twitter app that checks for new content every 5 mins would be enough to never let your phone deep sleep for example.

Anyway, after downloading an listening another 1.5 hour long podcast yesterday, here is the final picture before i charge my phone.

Hye guys..

Instructions

for lockbootloader
- after restoring the backup, u need to install CWM manually (searh for it, will add link later on)
- then u need to install stock wifi module
- delete /system/lib/module or /system/lib/modules
- then flash this: Stock wifi modules (this is from Night-Elf's kernel thread)
- after u finish all of the above make a new full backup, so u have a fully a nice one to restore when u messed it up

patch for neo
- after finish flashing the rom, reboot into recovery
- flash custom zip & navigate to folder named -=codename_##=-
- select codename_9_neo_patch.zip

walkman & volume+
- to really feel the different, use headphone
- open walkman, play your favourite music
- open volume+ > go to headset setting > enable audio modification > EQ Presets > select 'Beats Emulation'
- press home button to exit & enjoy it

odex script - optional
- use this wisely & with precaution
- flash custom zip & navigate to folder named -=codename_##=-
- select codename_9_odexing.zip
- it will odex the rom (system/app & framework only, data partition are excluded)
- remember this, if you want to replace any apps that already included in the rom, add it before you flash this zip
- or flash rom > add your apps > odex the rom (since my rom will not wipe your data, you can do this over & over again

)
- or you end up with bootloop (reflash the rom & its fixed

)

QuickPanel Setting
- disable brightness & flashlight on statusbar, it will slow down battery use in display
- also disable network widget, some user reported that it is not working

Spare Parts - removed
- window animation > off
- transition animations > fast
- this will make it snappier

SetCPU
- download it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419
- don't forget to thanks there
- set smartassV2, min freq 245Mhz & max 1024Mhz (recomended)
- run the recomended for at least 1 day, let the phone settle down - Important!!
- when the phone settled down, you can set the max to the freq that you desire
- add profile for screen off, use conservative, min 122Mhz & max 460Mhz (any lower and you may feel lag)

Setting ringtone/alarm sound
- open the music file with ES File Explorer, assign it as notification/ringtone/alarm

Google Maps 6.5.0 ownhere/Brut.all
- I prefer this one
- download it here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=12361226
- don't forget to thanks there

Wifi issue, if any..
- use this only if you have issue with wifi signal drop
- Blade Wifi Fix

Recommended
- use QuickPic & Boat Browser
- it is faster & use less ram compare to stock one

Q: I found a big bug on your rom !!!
A: Reflash stock 42/62 firmware first, then u can report back.

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Q: I did overclock the cpu to play games, after a while it reboot & bootloop.. Help please..
A: OC one freq step at a time, use it for a while to test it stability. During the testing uncheck 'Apply at boot'.

Click to collapse

Q: How i can tell the GPU (graphic) is Overclock with Night-Elf's kernel v9.6 experimental?
A: It will OC when u open a 3D game

Q: Why 3rd party camera (i.e. fastburst, instagram etc) apps not working?
A: Remove Flashlight (camera related) from StatusBar Widget, open QuickPanelSetting.

Q: I want to have stock/original Gmail, how i can get it?
A: Uninstall the current one in the rom (use titanium, intek's system cleanup etc), reboot & download a new one from Play Store.

Q: I'm having issue with SuperSU, some apps stuck at "asking for root"
A: open setting > manage application > SuperSU > Force stop. Then reboot

Click to expand...

Click to collapse

Q: I want to switch to Superuser instead of SuperSU
A: If u want to switch to Superuser, remove SuperSU first. There is an option in SuperSU, Cleanup > Switch superuser app. Then reboot & flash Superuser zip.

I have officially unlocked bootloader & followed all your steps ever used the given kernel but still get stuck on the boot screen & i waited for 5 - 8 mins to get a re-boot but nothing so i moved back to stock .42 ROM.....

So please let me know what is the solution for this .......

Did you do data and cache wipe?
Moreover.. You need to flash this over stock .42 rom, I hope you doing that.. If not can you do this and confirm pl.

Dear emannxperia,
I will stuck to your rom till full working cyanogenmod comes for our neo v.
So i will be waiting for timescape widget for this rom.
I tried myself to install timescape widget via root explorer in system/app.
Widget installed but on opening it says: timescape libraries not installed

And also try to pull out the battery and reboot. 1st boot may take some time as it create swap file on your system partition. If still stuck on second boot, pull out the battery and reboot again. Please report back. Thankz.

Agree with archijit ! It's either MIUI or this. MIUI has its own issues owing to porting from a different device ROM. For the time being sticking to this for stick feel at the same time power of new kernel and scrolling notification widgets. love it ... !

emannxperia
Seems no bugs so far..

will see if any more features we can suggest to make this one of the top ROMS.

More RAM in this ROM owes to the kernel i believe.
