Any battery mod/tweak to solve lollipop's power hungriness?
Thanks for the rom!
Solve it? It doesn't make sense to you that a new operating system would use more energy than the previous?

I mean this is exactly what happened from jelly bean to kitkat.

Even if it did happen with those two version of Android (which idk if it did, kit kat seems the same or better to me), it's far from a rule. New OS update doesn't always mean more power hungry.

Pretty much. If you didn't get to use jelly bean in its prime, it was crazy. Battery life was better, so this precise thing happened. People wanted to roll back to it until eventually everyone just bit the bullet and stayed with kit kat.

After its been out for a while, some things will be better, custom kernels ect... Minor optimization increases, but I wouldn't expect the same or better battery life than what kit kat was.

Its not even official released for everyone, give it time.

Sorry, your premise is baseless, while what you're saying about those particular versions of Android is correct, it does not constitute a "rule" as the previous post said. Windows 8.1 for example. Not trying to start an argument, just saying newer operating system versions do not as a rule consume more power.

I misread his post, I didn't notice he said rule. And also didn't realize he was disagreeing with me, so my post means differently than what I intended, also the a in my original post was supposed to be a "the".

It makes sense to me that lollipop consumes more battery than kitkat because kitkat used more than jelly bean on this phone. This was also the case with my old xt912.

I'm not sure why you made the assumption that I feel this way about any electronic that runs an operating system because I didn't. This is a phone forums we are on no?

Surprised that I had that many mistakes in a row with my posting, but equally surprised how critically my posts were taken to try and initiate a debate on opinions.

If you don't feel my opinion is correct based off what we have already experienced on this phone, that's perfectly fine, but this isn't the place for debates.

It doesn't say you need to be on 39a
I'm on a roll with screw ups tonight and I made an assumption, so let me word this correctly.

If you are on the 4.4 bootloader, as in you flash your cloudy ROM with a bumped kernel, not a loki'd kernel, then yes, you can clean flash it.

If you are on the 4.2 bootloader, you need to flash the 27a, 28a, or 39a bootstack, so you get put on the 4.4 bootloader with a bumped recovery.

I don't think 2.7.0 was being used when bump was introduced, so I'm pretty sure my assumption of you being on the 4.2 bootloader is correct. Wouldn't be the first time I've been wrong

Fair enough, I'm glad you could explain. But at the same time you try to call me out saying I made an assumption. I only commented on the words you wrote. An assumption would have been me assuming you meant phone operating systems only.

Just a suggestion, but you can setup up your zip with all the bootstack files from 39A (using the 27A bootloader, and persist.img). Then it won't matter what recovery, or what bootstack the user is currently on. It's an all in one zip where no separate bootstack needs to be flashed. All they have to do is wipe dalvik cache, system, data, and cache before flashing. That's how I have mine setup, and it works great.

Thats a good idea. :)
Did you strip out Quick Remote? I haven't had any coffee, but I don't see it.
Yea took that out as bloat. I can do an add on zip later.
