Clean install of Sentinel Rom. I used BBS to check wakelocks. Google services used to drain my battery a lot. My fix there was to uninstall all updates on Google Play Store, reboot the phone and install latest version of Google play. I also had issues with DNS server of my service provider. I used an app to force my phone to use Google's DNS server. I got faster loading times for websurfing. I also used AdAway. Helped me filter unneccessary data usage wasted in downloading ads. Lastly, i also used Greenify to hybernate programs that often performs a lot of wakelocks on my phone and reduces my battery life even on sleep state

Please forgive the noobish questions, as I would like to try this ROM:

Coming from the latest Carbon ROM nightlies, should I factory wipe b4 installing this?
What are the theming options outlined in the OP? Is there a dark blackground theme?

Yes you should wipe.

There's a bunch of themes available here

Great ROM! Kudos! but voice activated camera shutter option?

Hi,

I am a Sentinel ROM user from a long time, and in version 4.x there was an option in the camera app to use Voice to take pictures (under timer), but I can't find this option in 5.0?

Is the option no longer available, or am I missing something?

If the option is not available, can someone point me to the APK of the previous camera app with voice option?

Thanks!

Hello, Ive just installed this rom mainly because its supposed to have better battery life then normal cyanogen, am I right? If so, could you say how much better is it? Of course i cant reach battery life as on stock...

It's good.

Battery life is the best of all the ROMs i've tried. Combined with Greenify I'm getting a full 48 hours of moderate use on a year-old N7100.

You of course don't have the features of Touchwiz like SmartStay and all the SPen stuff so I guess that saves up some battery. There are 3rd party apps that do the same things but again that will drain your battery faster, so try to get along without them.

I do miss the voice-activated camera though, so someone please tell me how to get this on SentinelROM 5.0!! :mad:

Well you could always get the color thermostat Lol jk
Try getting a theme with darker colors or change the icons manually through a launcher such as nova or apex
