On CM 11 using crpalmer's kernel I am able to get 24+ hours of battery life on a full charge with moderate usage. I was lucky to get 10 hours with the GPE ROM. That sucks if the official One ROM is just as bad, but there has to be something that can be done about it. This ROM is awesome, I would love to use it, but I need to be able to get through a full day on a single charge.
[HTC Droid DNA] hipsh0t:
I must just be lucky because my battery life is almost as good as when I'm on cm 11. I got 22 hours yesterday with 23% left and today I used about 35% over 8 hours using spotify and moderate flipboard/texting.

EDIT

Greenify and lux are your friend.

I am also using ART instead of dalvik
[HTC Droid DNA] Zarboz:
I honestly think 4.4.2 was compiled to be run on ART
[HTC Droid DNA] hipsh0t:
Yea the only problem is sacrificing xposed which I am slowly getting used to
[HTC Droid DNA] jeremy46er:
I turned location off and it seemed to help a lot with battery drain.
[HTC Droid DNA] sabres032:
I'm thinking of reflashing this ROM, enabling ART and comparing battery life. I think I can live without the eye candy xposed delivers.

Edit: Today I'm at 80% drain over 11 hours with 2:45:00 screen time.
[HTC Droid DNA] hipsh0t:
I mess with more than just ART though just keep that in mind.
[HTC Droid DNA] sabres032:
How much is Android System draining your battery? My battery stats show 58% of my battery drain from Android System, screen is showing only 4%.
[HTC Droid DNA] hipsh0t:
When I first flashed 1.4 it was over 75% for me now its down to 38% after 2 days it seems to be getting lower and lower which is a good thing I think.
[HTC Droid DNA] sabres032:
I'm about two days on this ROM myself and still Android System is over 50%. Then again I'm configured on dalvik with a few xposed modules running for eye candy. Like I said I'm thinking of clean installing this ROM and configuring for ART for a comparison. Might be a few days though since I have training at the fire department, work and a few classes to attend over the next few days.

So I pledged to this a while back and finally it came along, thank you. Now I would like to test it for you, but I have no idea how to downgrade my hboot. Would you be willing to help me out with this, I used rumrunner to s-off so I don't think I have the right hboot currently installed. If you can help I'm available to do it in the IRC just let me know.

Thanks in advanced.

just so you guys know the CDMA build is still in testing phases
[HTC Droid DNA] seeingwhite:
First off, thanks for all your hard work on this.

I got the cdma version installed but it has been very buggy. Epst crashes right away. The radio won't work at all and says network type unknown.

Lastly, the lag bug you mentioned is present and renders the phone almost unusable.
[HTC Droid DNA] shug2oo6:
Got the CDMA version installed and booted...lag bug is def there and starts off in roaming but after I changed network settings LTE is working...but the lag makes it hard to use...,thanks for all your hard work Z

Expect lag to be fixed after data and cdma is working 100%

Fix is in the works for lag

If you use a different battery stats app you'll see Android System isn't draining much of anything. It must just be how it's reporting in stock. I experience no drain. I'm getting 3 hours screen on time using Twitter, playing gta, etc
[HTC Droid DNA] dubsx:
2 hours 45 minutes screen on with 20% battery left is pretty good...I don't know that I've ever gotten much more that that on a full charge no matter what ROM I've run on this phone.

I honestly think it has everything to do with the kernels we have available for 4.4.2 ROMs. They're just not working as they should. Never had so many issues trying to control clock speeds. No matter what I do or what ROM I'm running, I'm getting 25% of my time at max clock speed with the screen off. I've been running android since Cupcake and I've never seen the weird stuff I'm seeing on 4.4.2 lately.
[HTC Droid DNA] hipsh0t:
[MENTION=1615671]Zarboz[/MENTION] I'm gonna pull a log for you because my settings app keeps crashing now its been fine for 2 days now all of a sudden it won't load. I'll grab a log after work and post it
[HTC Droid DNA] MSmithXDA:
That's what I was experiencing too, which is the only reason I think there might be an issue. I didn't necessarily notice poor battery life though, but instead just find it odd that Android System is consuming so much and screen is consuming so little. I'm on 4.4.2 Beanstalk right now and Android Sys is only 6% of battery life, while screen is 70%. Maybe one of the kernels are just misreporting their readings? Everything could be totally fine though, especially if that's what Zarboz see's on his GPE One phone.
[HTC Droid DNA] Zarboz:
I now have 2 working droid DNA's i can test on

I will be running battery drain tests on them since i have a verizon sim card

my unit with NO SIM card has been on for 47 hours with 2 hours of screen on time

so the radio has some kind of play here im sure
[HTC Droid DNA] sabres032:
I'm beginning to think the kernel has everything to do with battery drain. Before flashing this ROM I was on CM11 with crpalmers kernel and I was getting close to 20 hours with 4+ hours of screen time. I have BBS installed but it's acting wonky and not reporting anything but up time and screen time. Just been to lazy to uninstall and reinstall the app.

How is your LTE service in your area? I'm in between two towers, one a mile away and one about two miles away. In my house I'm connecting to 4G LTE but only -100 to -117 dBm at 20 to 25 asu. Outside its not much better, -90 to -100 dBm at 20 asu. I'm sure some of my battery drain is because of that too.
[HTC Droid DNA] hipsh0t:
So after the settings app was crashing the entire phone was throwing an error something along the lines of phone process has stopped. I know i didnt remove anything since I first flashed and it ran for almost 3 days with no problems then all hell broke loose. I am sure it is something I did because I reflashed and everything is back to normal.
[HTC Droid DNA] Zarboz:
Does better battery stats show a no data no service drain ?
[HTC Droid DNA] Phaded:
Hangouts video chat is unusable. The ringtone when calling is distorted as is in call audio.

I had the same problem with viper 3. Go to that post and in the op where it states to use 2.6.3.0 in red and tap on the red writing. It'll take you to where you can download twrp 2.6.3.0. I flashed it with flash image gui and viper 3 then would flash. I'm pretty sure it'll also work with this ROM. There must be 2 different versions floating around

Only issues I'm having so far are some times the back light doesn't cut on when I hit the power button some times. Cutting the screen off and back on fixes it.

I plugged in the MHL cable and the phone wouldn't see it at all even to charge. Other then that it's a great rom.

[HTC Droid DNA] sabres032:
OK maybe a dumb question but will this ROM work on AT&T network? Once I get my tax refund I'm going to get a one month trial plan from AT&T to test their network. I really like the smoothness of this ROM and since it's settled in the battery life is decent.
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Yes just flash the Gsm version and it should connect just fine.
[HTC Droid DNA] sabres032:
Next question, since I've never done anything like this before, do the pre-flash wipe, flash the ROM then drop in the AT&T sim card or drop the sim card then flash?
[HTC Droid DNA] Jaggar345:
Im not entirely sure because I have always been on Verizon. I would think you could flash the rom and then put the new sim in for the first boot.

When using any Voice over Internet Protocol apps like viber , hangouts, skype etc the audio in the speaker make a screeching noise however normal call work fine. As a GSM user we use a lot of these app
[HTC Droid DNA] mdphoenix:
Holy CRAP I cannot even begin to tell you what I've been through today. If anyone considering flashing this ROM reads this, please do yourself a favor and read from the last post backward.

Reading the beginning posts, I stuck TWRP Beta on the DNA and moved forward. I couldn't flash it. I blew away EVERYTHING on the phone, retransferred the ROM and tried again. No go. I downgraded my Hboot to 1.33. Still no help. It wasn't until I got to around page 30 something that I found that Philz latest CWM resolved the issue. Now I have the latest Hboot, the latest Radio, and this wonderful ROM. I'll post up if I run into any issues, but the only things I really need to work are Phone, Bluetooth for phone calls, and Exchange mail.

Thanks for the hard work, Z!
[HTC Droid DNA] Zarboz:
I should probably edit the OP huh?
[HTC Droid DNA] sabres032:
I'm on TWRP .6 beta, latest hboot and radios and I was able to flash this ROM with no problems. I'm even able to make good backups and switch between CM11 and this ROM with no issues.

im using cwm 6.0.4.5 no issues flashing

i had the buffer issue so i backed up my data and nothing esle wiped data/factory reset and reflashed rom estored my data and blam rom fixed

everything i need to work does which includes

camera,calls,sms via hangouts,my code editors,scripter,coding games,coding books,my odb2 bluetooth dongle for my car works

so im very happy thanks man i now just need your cross compiler setup specs so i can compile your kernel lol.

only reason i compile the roms myself is i enjoy my computer working at 100% and i like to experiment with different things which is nice since i like to break and fix my stuff

as it seems to be a great learning experience for me as i want to starting mainlining the kernel for personal use if going to 3.9 is even possible or would we even benefit from the 3.9 kernel and would it even and an accomplishment
[HTC Droid DNA] mdphoenix:
First time out of the house with this ROM this morning and I've got issues. I got to the gym, and the phone thought it was still connected to my home WiFi. Turned off WiFi and LTE was unusable. Phone calls worked, but data was crap. I have the latest radio. I turned airplane mode on then off. I verified I'm set for RUI/SIM, not NV. And I ensured LTE was preferred.

Suggestions?

****. Audio doesn't work right either. Can't play my podcasts. They're distorted. With or without beats on.

---------- Post added at 02:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

That's what I'm getting on my podcasts. They're horrific.

EDIT: More updates (if they're getting on your nerves, tell me) - Playing MP3s are hit and miss. I know my podcasts come down as MP3s. Some of the ringtones I have are MP3s. I've had them for years. Some play, and some do not. I'm looking to see what the difference between them is.

The audio issue is much less of a concern than the LTE/WiFi problem.

[MENTION=1615671]Zarboz[/MENTION] what exactly is graphite and what does enabling it do?
[HTC Droid DNA] mdphoenix:
I'm not sure how that addresses those issues?

Update on the MP3 playback - the problem does not exist over Bluetooth. Only when playing directly from the speaker.

LTE speeds are still crap. Low signal everywhere. I realize it was stated the max we can get is 3 bars. I've taken that into consideration.

On a different note, my battery is taking a hit something fierce. I can't imagine what I did wrong, but since everyone else is having no issue, I guess I botched something.

3 bars max is not the max, I've had full bars in areas.
[HTC Droid DNA] t1gartist:
my lte and wifi both are having excellent signal now on aosp i only get good lte service with codefire all others i get 1 two bars max with cfx i see full towers

but again my experience gpe 4.4 no signal issues nor sound issues yet that ive ran across but i i havnt tried any bluetooth calling yet as my earbuds have a mic so while im working i have music and i can talk to the wife and yes works perfect in both situations btw performance is good great battery.

waiting on a uniquely tweak kernel from zarboz for this rom

(take it for whats it worth as this is my opinion) my opinion is i love aosp but this gpe is pure performance and battery life next on my list of things to do is try and get zarboz kernel to wqork with kexec and jump between this and cfx oh cfx is the only other high erformance around here surely im in love just need to bring them together and become the **** lmao

[HTC Droid DNA] PeterDLai:
Sometimes when I wake the phone the screen is very dim (seems like the lowest brightness setting) and it doesn't seem like the automatic brightness setting is working, but if I wait long enough it seems to brighten up very suddenly. Usually turning the screen off and on will fix it if I don't want to wait.

Not sure if it's a glitch or something wonky about the automatic brightness settings.

EDIT: Hmm, maybe it is how the automatic brightness is working, because when it happens I can put the phone directly under light to get the brightness up. I suppose I'm in a relatively dimly lit room but I don't remember any other ROM with automatic brightness behaving this way. What is confusing me is that the behavior is not consistent (most of the time when I turn on the screen it's not that dim, even in the same lighting).
[HTC Droid DNA] matteebee:
