I'm a little confused and frustrated by this, and I'm not sure what is the correct solution.
I used to be on Cloudy G2, then I switched over to somboons stock ROM with Dorimanx. That was pretty good, especially with the kernel profiles from Dorimanx. But sometimes, lag just killed me. I got to the point where it took me 5 minutes to even edit a single snapchat. Battery life was meh: approximately 1.5 to 2 hours of screen-on-time (SOT). I put in a new battery, and it was similar.
So I switched to Dirty Unicorns 5.1.1. Performance was really good, loved the customizations and features. Idle battery drain was pretty good too (usually less than 5% loss over night), but overall SOT was same as before. Active battery drain was pretty bad. But I couldn't get weather animations to work on the lock screen, and there was no SmartStay.
Now I'm on NDM 5.5, which is a really nice looking ROM, but performance is a bit lacking. Idle battery drain was excellent (close to Dirty Unicorns), but active battery drain was horrendous. I flashed Xceed build 16, and it was the same. Xceed build 14 is a little better, but active is still ridiculous. To give a perspective: I was on reddit, on auto brightness for about 10 minutes.... and I lost 12%. Yesterday, when I unplugged, made two 10 second calls, and then let the phone sit while I ate dinner... I lost 18% in 20 minutes.
I'm at a loss at this point. I've read some posts that said to give it a few days before judging battery life, so I'll wait a bit, but I'd like to hear your thoughts. Should I try another battery switch? Is there a ROM/kernel combination that might give me better battery life? If it helps, the most common things I use my phone for are chatting, reddit, and Puzzle and Dragons.
