A few more things. There are a bunch of posts in this thread of people asking why 4.8 seems to have such poor battery life......most responses suggest flashing to stock ROM, reflashing, all that jazz.....I am willing to bet a handful of those users were/are experiencing the exact same thing I was with opera9.
If anyone is like me, they find it very cumbersome to search through a thread that is 7000 pages deep with a million useful pieces of information scattered all throughout on every imaginable topic concerning our phones...so here is the link to where ehbob made the opera9 discovery.....and you can follow through it for a few pages and see the feedback regarding it.
