"For having the best battery life from a ROM , follow these steps:-

1. Before installing a new ROM , charge your phone to 100%.

2. While connected to the charger , flash the new ROM and wipe the battery stats in recovery.

3 .After flashing the ROM , let the battery drain to 0% and let the phone get switched off by itself."

Does it mean "Let the battery drain to 0%" on Stand by ?

Yea ben36, i have read that, every hack has some pros and some cons , so it is one of them ..

You should have flashed 4.1 gapps first and then 4.2 gapps ..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] AlfaGTV:
Haha ok, I misunderstood it sorry. XD

So now i have to flash again the 4.1 gapps and then directly the 4.2 gapps

should i wipe something?

There are no pros. They clearly state the performance gain is due to cpu being up all the time, and its a big battery waster.

I use the included kernel.

If you want to mount ntfs drives you have to download ntfs driver first, but fat32 works without any modifications. But make sure your drive doesnt need to much power. For me only 2/3 usb sticks work because of that.

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Akhil:
250-280 RAM is good amount of RAM.. check your list of apps ...there must be some app which you would not have installed in CM9 and installed in this ROM which might be eating RAM...

I scored 8600 with antutu , stock kernel..try the test two to three times..you will get score around 8500..

I suggest you don't follow these benchmark's score. With these sometimes you get high score and sometimes you get low score , as long as you feel the phone's performance and battery life is good , stay with the current configuration..
[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] Akhil:

Wifi MAC adress issue solved. 00:09:4c:c5:12:38

So if you are experiencing problem with same wifi mac adress on multiple devices using this rom, this is what u should do.

extract the CALIBRATION file from the ROM zip installation file. You can find it under /etc/wifi

Open it in notepad and edit mac adress with anyone you want (you should you your default, original MAC)

Save that file in your ADB directory.

After that follow this steps using ADB SHELL

D:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell

shell@android:/ $ su

su

shell@android:/ # mount -o remount, rw /system

255|shell@android:/ # mkdir /system/tmp

D:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools>adb push calibration /system/tmp

D:\adt-bundle-windows-x86_64\sdk\platform-tools>adb shell

[Sony Xperia S, Acro S, Ion] WeeDv2:
It reduces lag as much as setting performance governor will... Because as it's explained there and if you know how it works, keeps the proc awake, and on a higher Mhz step, depending on your governor, it's like having it on performance gov, hence always max, hence no lag.

Listen to people, we are trying to help, and you are being stubborn, same thing as when I explained memory usage, and why free memory is wasted memory , and not even got a thx from you or an answer.

You haven't done anything wrong, it's the update-script file that needs to be edited.

Move the zip to your PC

use 7zip and extract update-script (meta-inf/com/Google/android)

edit it with notepad++ remove those 2-3 (getpro assert) first lines, save and move it back to the zip file.

Copy the zip back to your phone and try it again.

Mac address

Instead of using Adb to change your Mac address, you can also use root explorer or root browser and go to calibration in system\etc\wifi.

With a text editor you can change the address right there.

Be sure to make a backup file!
