I need to make a comment here on the battery life.

First, I LOVE this ROM -it is awesome. One of the very first things I check after flashing ANY ROM is whether or not it will run Need For Speed g-sen because I like playing it occasionally to kill time at work. A lot of custom ROM's will not run NFS & Energy was one that would not run it until just recently.

I have been swapping back & forth between NFSFAN's ROM & SAC Warrior because these two ROM's run that game perfectly right off a flash with no tweaks or work-arounds. Both those ROM's are as fast as any other & the battery life is simply outstanding with either one (WAY WAY WAY better than I could ever get with ANY 6.1 ROM regardless of tweaks)

When I was running any of the older 6.1 ROM's, I basically gave up on ever having any kind of decent batt life. I have four Seidio 1500 batteries, two charging cradles, a car charger etc etc etc etc. I always carried a spare extra fully charged battery in my pocket & needed to swap batteries on a regular basis.

The first 6.5 ROM I ever tried was merdin's 6.5 version 4.5. My battery life went up so much with that ROM I was absolutely shocked (I thought the battery icon was broken at one point), so to everybody saying "6.5 just gets lousy battery life, get used to it" I say that is 100% total BS. The NFSFAN ROM got me outstanding battery life also (it took so long to move off 100%, I didn't believe the icon at one point, but it was correct).

Now, I flash to this ROM & my battery life has gone down the tubes. I immediately noticed the backlight set way brighter than I'm accustomed to after the flash, & lowered it to where I normally run it so that's not the problem.

To the users saying you can't have speed & good battery life together, that is total BS also. I use the hell out of my systems & this ROM is no faster or slower than the previous two ROM's I was running.

I really like this ROM a lot, & would like to get it to run on a par with my previous setups as far as battery life is concerned & I will try any trick that people suggest to increase the batt life but I think I may have run out of ideas at this point (I have done all the things like changing my slot cycle index, changing polling etc etc etc)

I hate to give up on something without trying every solution available, but I have swapped radios/installed Lumos etc etc. What tricks are other people using to make the batt like better with this setup??
