I finally found a way to fix autobrightness! Using this great app - Velis auto brightness by Velis74.

I have tried using apps for custom controlled brightness before (like Lux Auto Brightness), but they made no difference. Seems this app, somehow, manages to get sensor data directly and is not affected by the autobrightness bug. It also has an impressive amount of options for control of screen brightness (you may try it, even if you have no problems). Great app!

Do you have an sdcard inserted?
If yes, try again, but this time don't forget the first '/', because that makes it an absolute path.

Or just /sdcard/logcat.txt.

That should work on all roms.

I presume he's running this rom if he asks the question there. :-)

Anybody else has noticed any problems with camera? Minekeeps bbruising and making some kind of interference when I hit the shoot button yet nothing appears on the actual pic

This issue appears not only if swhitch to video mode. I saw it early if just run cam application.
My blade(libra) has 5Mpix cam.

This is repeated on every page, but who need to read. This is a well known bug - camera is not perfect, especially video recorder (that is what causes the bug). It is important that video recording works (with a hack, just like YouTube HQ) and even with some bugs the resulting video is clean. Usually, it is enought to rotate the screen once to fix the bug. Also, try other camera apps (camera from 4.2 or Camera ICS).

Everything you said is true for me except rotation - it does not fix the bug. Camera ICS works well.

Is it possible to wake up the phone with volume buttons? (like in CM7) I have my power button broken......

In all other discussions I have seen, the Blade HW only wakes on the Power button. All other solutions must keep the device awake (or wakeup momentarily periodically) - this will increase battery usage. So I do not know what CM7 did.

Forgive my ignorance - how would I do this ? Don't use either

I assume you did not mean GSam Battery Monitor (on Google Play) or overclocking (in Settings).
To disable Google Now cards, do it one by one. Open Google application, Settings, Now-card, inactivate the cards (all may not affect location).
For Maps: Settings-Locationsettings: Deactivate Positionreport and locationsharing, location history

Enabling zRam can improve time to get back to launcher considerably, so the device feel faster.
Settings->Performance->Memory Management
However zRam will not improve performance in applications, probably the other way around. Snap.IT had an explanation about it.

And for battery drainage, check apps too, to see what is using the radio. It may be that apps use battery indirectly, even if 3% vs 60% is not likely.

If you are in bad coverage and need to handover often, battery power is needed. I get values like this when putting the phone in a locker in a cellar. GSam has details.

It is right, but 4.2 is not guaranteed to work perfectly either (at least it is better than stock camera). Try "Camera ICS" or "Camera JB" from Play Store, could be better.

Hey guys! Idk if this is relevant or not, but right now as of +5.30 GMT 2325 hours, I've completed 500 hours of System Uptime. No crashes and 500 hours of stability! Next goal is 1000. I'm not restarting or flashing anything. Just wanna reach 1000 hours.

Lets hope I do and show the devs that this build is pretty much stable. Have fun y'all.

For me it gets laggy after some time and after a day or two my mobile data switch won't work. So for me 50 hours is more realistic and then I have to reboot but good for you.
