going to try MinCo soon | I like how you can make the status and nav bar transparent and that they cherry picked from AOKP and CM. It's been pretty stable and no FC's so far. Why you sketching out haha just give it a try. Although I have no idea who the devs are either here's some info on them About | XYLON Quote:

If it didn't then there would be A LOT more bitching on every blog site and forum. | Wow, there have been tons of complaints and bad reviews of the poor battery life(android forums, engadget revuew, gsmarena review). Just google Nexus 4 battery and try using your phone when you aren't mainly depending on wifi.

You could say that the battery is not great. I have both the iPhone 5 and Nexus 4. I do the same things on them: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Whatsapp, SMS, email, web browsing, listening to music, etc. I usually put both on 50% brightness, not auto. I disable wifi and run on LTE permanently.
If I do the above, the iPhone 5 can last me for the entire day until bedtime. However the Nexus 4 will run out of juice by 5pm when I am off work.
But then again, what I'm doing is considered heavy use and bad on the battery. So if the Nexus 4 can at least last me until the end of work, it's not bad; it's satisfactory.

regardless, Once i push through enough juice, I will stop using wifi and depend solely on cellular.
I can pump around 12-15 hours on it running custom kernel
I have not messed with voltages or clock speeds and I don't think deep idle or anything such have been created yet for the N4

Order Date: December 3, 2012 12:08:03 PM UTC-8 | No changes or any updates on my order at December 3, 2012 12:07:35 PM UTC-8.
On my first order, two days before it shipped, I got a notification saying "Dec 12
You successfully updated your payment for this order to VISA xxxx"
the "updated payment" notification is likely a precursor to shipment.

Been on Xylon Rom for the last 3 days.
So far so good. Love the customization.
New icons and trying out new clock widget.
Not sure why the picture isn't showing the transparency of the Navbar and top status bar.
Battery is fine with my usage. I get a day easily and I charge every night anyway. Screenshot_2012-12-27-17-10-20.png

Posted via RS Mobile | Not sure if this applies to the nexus 4, but I just updated my xylon rom on gnex and forgo titanium backup, and significantly less problems.
