Oh, and I've checked GSam Battery monitor and no apps seem to be using much battery. Usually, it's facebook at 4-6%. Most of it is coming from automatic brightness. Tried using juice defender but my Maxx doesn't seem to respond well with it.

Thanks again

Awesome rom fellas. I just wanted to know the settings/apps some of you guys with Maxx's are using for best performance/battery life. After 5 days, using pegasusq and SIO, google now turned off, 1.2ghz/300mhz, CPU sleeper, and everything else (4G, gmail sync, tweetcaster sync, automatic brightness) is on, and I'm getting about 15-18 hours each charge. Is this normal? Would Hotplugx work better? Should I wait a little longer for the rom to settle in?

Thanks in advanced for any help.

Using Pegasus and SIO 1.2-600, cup sleeper, all sync (Facebook Gmail and Dropbox), Google Now is on, automatic brightness when outside and 20% inside (mostly this), 4G on , some video chat (Skype). No other modification apps, nothing frozen, I average about 22+ hours before I hit 20%

awesome rom..thanks to devs and all others who helped make it happen..

quick Q..

I used Google Now a bit today - and like it, takes some getting used to and I'd imagine it gets better over time.

Over on XDA - I saw a flashable zip for an online/offline version of GNow..

I appreciate the fact that GNow is baked into Arctic HD - but, I'm assuming this one does not have any offline capabilities? or am i missing something?

If that's the case (that it doesn't) - does anyone know if I could just flash that zip over the top of this ROM? if not, any other way to get that online/offline version working with Arctic?

Thanks in advance!

So comparing battery states between people is like comparing two different kinds of apples. Yes they are both apples but they are each a little different from each other. It is better if you compare battery performance with your past experience with the stock or other roms. How you use your phone and what apps you run dictate what your results will be. Both Simplex and this rom out performs stock .211 or .215 in battery performance for me. Based on reports from others, I fall in the middle. Here are my stats below but this is just to show what I happened to get yesterday. This was also setting unused overnight so 6 hours or so it was not used. Personally I seem to get a little better battery when using hotplug and noop over the defualt settings in the CPU control app.
When running stock, I would be lucky to get 13 or 14 hours out of my battery they way I use my phone.

As far as the rom goes, Kebob and Matt did a great job. I have a few hiccups here and there but I did on stock too. My wife's bone stock phone locks up sometimes and she has to do the three finger solute to reboot it.

is this how to reflash as well
How to flash:
1) Boot into Safestrap.
2) Switch over to the Safe-Enabled side.
3) Wipe Data.
4) Wipe Cache.
5) Advanced -> Wipe Dalvik Cache
6) Mounts and storage -> Format system
7) Install the zip downloaded from the link below.
8) After first boot (which can sometimes take upwards of 10 minutes), reboot your device for best results.
9) Enjoy!

Has anyone had any issues with using hdmi out? I keep getting an error message.

Is it just me or does the homescreen not rotate to landscape? works fine w/ apps (browser, youtube, etc.) but not w/ homescreen.

thoughts?

[Kebob]

Its motos design, they dont allow launcher rotation

[Mace68]

If you want home screen rotation Apex Launcher seems to be a very good launcher. I just started using it (GoLauncher seems to be getting real bloated) and it's fast and stable, not one hiccup or stutter yet.

[mllora81]

I use Set Orientation and it does landscape with the stock launcher.

Super quick, very responsive, but unfortunately no touch keys and swype. Two features I use often.

Finally got another DRM because my old one was stolen

I have questions:
1. Device Setup force closed when i choose one of them (Unfortunately Device Setup has stopped), except "Locations Consent"
2. I have two lists of Google Voice Typing in Language & Input
3. should i installed 0.1 over 0.01Fixed, or just 0.1?

Any suggestions?

Super quick, very responsive, but unfortunately no touch keys and swype. Two features I use often.

It's fairly easy to get those two "features" back. You can type "swype" in the search box and there should be abundant posts for this. Regarding touch keys, you flashed the wrong ROM. 'Droid HD' is an identical ROM with touch keys.

I am scared about an update coming out. This rom has been running so good for me I am afraid to update it. I am getting better battery life, however that has never been a concern with my Maxx; it last all day anyway.

There are certain developers who I really, really trust because they know their stuffs. Matt and Kebob are on top of my list.
