I am starting to actually enjoy this phone now! Is it possible for me to change the boot splash screen? The alien creeps me out lol. Also I usually use ifont to change the font but it doesn't seem to work. Is there another application I can try or is it not possible in this rom?

This rom is amazing! Thank you for all your hard work.

I always use ROM Toolbox for that kind of stuff, and the boot splash screen.... I remember there being another one lying around here somewhere on AndroidForums... LilBit knew where it was, I forgot where I had it on my laptop though. And thanks, really glad to hear that you like the ROM! :D

And I see that you're a new member so...

Welcome to AndroidForums!:D
I'm always happy to see appreciative new members coming in :D

I'll run it all the way down tonight and full charge overnight. Hopefully that cures it.

I have done a battery Calibration in these cases, here is how I do it. :)

Run Battery down to about 15/20 % Charge it to Full :)
POWER OFF THE PHONE WHILE STILL PLUGGED IN:D
Let it Charge to Full again, you will see it charging with a green bar:) :)
After a Full Charge, Boot into Recovery while still Plugged in, Clear Battery Stats. :D

Reboot the phone and let it Keep charging Back to Full,And Still keep charging for an extra 15 minutes after. ;) Battery is now calibrated. Enjoy.;):p
 
I got superuser updated, I found a way to do it which is different with this app than with SuperSU, dunno why but hell I found a way to update it the right way from now on! :D

I've also been doing some theming around the rom (settings, SystemUI, framework-res, phone, contacts, just to name a few :D) so this thing should be looking alot better once I drop HaloBean 5 ;)

Preciate the advice, but I tried that method still draining bad. I just reinstalled 4.3 seemed to work fine for me even LMT.

What should We gain removing them? I didn't note any adverse side effect... can you clarify?

There are no adverse side effects, though it does push the battery a little more. Also removing them can also push someone to add performance points in areas other than I/O or 3D performance. If you can get the same scores without adreno tweaks as a user that has them, something is going really well and adding the tweaks in will blow the scores past 10k
 
Hey skinny, could you add a "clear-all" button for the notifications? Just had to swipe clear like 30 titanium backup notifications T.T... It would be very much appreciated!

There is a clear all button, the 3 offset lines? Its the clear all button from Jelly Bean :D
 
In HaloBean 5, I'm probably gonna replace the stock browser with Lightning Browser. Its much faster, and it is very lightweight whereas the stock one feels bulky to me. I've been testing alot of performance type stuff on this ROM, and I realize its beginning to slow down through releases. I'm gonna move away from theming for now and go to increasing performance and battery life both at the same time. I'll remove a few things like the real JB spinners which are really choppy and I can't figure out for the life of my why it does that, and I'll go back to the old spinners which will look much much MUCH smoother after everything I've done to the JB spinners. It makes the rom look slow imo. Also, I'm going to probably remove a few other apps as I find better replacements to increase the speed of the rom and lower the file size. On top of that, I'm going to try and work on the beats mod to find a more efficient way of having it in there. Then the notifications panel will have to be worked on, I'll be changing the icons in the JB panel to white to match the clock. I'll try to remove the text covering the status bar when its opened as its already in the panel. And the "no notifications" thing has to go. Its totally useless, since its pretty obvious if you have notifications or not. I also wanna work on the light sensor, it was really great in n00b rom so I'm gonna see why the light sensor works differently in that rom and this one. If you havent noticed when you turn off the lights, the screen is brighter in this rom than it would be in n00b so that's a sign of inefficiency and a waste of precious battery life.

EDIT: themewise, I'm going to get the wifi icon and signal meter closer together because in ICS/JB they're on top of each other, but in here there's a gap as large as the grand canyon and its really making my OCD senses tingle. The quick panel background (which is semi-invisible) will be made shorter to save up on notification panel real-estate. I'll work on the buttons in prompts too to make them more holo-ish. I'll work on the settings menu again as well, to remove activation from there since its not really needed and you can do it over the phone, online, or from stock before flashing this rom which is what most people do anyways. I wanna work on the status bar clock too to get it to use a roboto light font like ICS/JB. Messaging app will need a lot of work too.
 
If anyone has suggestions for changes involving performance, has any advice to offer, or is opposed to any of the changes, I'll take it into consideration :D

I'm not an expert but HB 1.3 looks pretty nice, so if you can improve performance keeping that wonderful appearance (and functionality of course) then you would deserve a medal :D:D:D
