I was on build 32. It seemed to be the best for me. Although I hear the test builds 46 and 50 are pretty good too. I'm on Faux kernel 005 6r2 or something. Haven't experienced any data drops yet. Will use it for a few more days.

Still choked that android OS hsic wakelock still sucks up so much battery even though it's supposed to be "fixed" in these later kernels. Guess we really have to wait for 4.2.2 before it gets fixed officially.

Prelude. I was hard pressed to get 4h screen on time in 10-12h off charger. Then i screwed something up (irrelevant ) and had to reflash stock images. So I just unzipped them, chucked fastboot + dll's in there for ease of use, and ran flash-all.bat. Yeah yeah, I could have done it manually, but since i know how, i didn't bother.
Now my next findings are sure to attract so flaming from more experienced users that will say "it's placebo", "it doesn't work like that" etc. While I don't have screenies to confirm pre flash stats, i have gathered a few post flash stats. Here we go.
Some cycles are misssing, since i either accidently deleted screenies or forgot to take them. But that should give you a general idea. WiFi used mainly, apart from last cycle, where 12 were on data only and the rest was while connected to wifi and reading a book in fbreader.
So for me it's fairly conclusive, reflashing stock images has GREATLY improved my battery life. I had a few chats and we came to a conclusion that it is possible that at the factory device has simply not been flashed "properly", mass flashing differs from your usual .img flashing normally.
What you think...Well, it's up to you for decide. I know few more people who've done the same, and while their improvement is not as drastic as mine, it is still an improvement.

I shit you not. This reflashing works. Still 58% left after 3 hours of screen time.
Android OS is no longer killing my battery. Fucking amazing.

So I google'd and apparently its the actual app.. it doesnt stitch the photos properly..
Going left-right is no problem.. its when I start going Up and Down...
I sure hope Google can fix this...

A lot of it depends on how far you are from your target; if you're trying to do a photosphere of a room it doesn't work so well because everything is so close. If you've got a big open space, it's a lot easier/better.

Kind of like panning a camera on a tripod.

LOL you are very much blind because if you read the post, you'll know that it involves reflashing the stock images through adb and not just flashing a zip in recovery.

The PIE can be relocated to the sides or at the top... I find the bottom feels better for menus...
