Is CM12.1 better than stock for battery life?

I want to squeeze a lot of battery life out of my phone. I want to know a good kernel that doesn't require much tweaking and I like CM12.1, as I use it on my G2. Any suggestions?

Connection via MSC gives more than MTP?

Hi

I recently started testing some file comparison applications and I kind of wish I hadn't.
In running comparisons between files transferred from my Sony Z2 (Android 5.0.2) and Windows 8.1, I have found that sometimes, files are not fully sent over MTP.
I have transferred 106 video files from my Z2 over to my PC. Five of the files have been highlighted in a file comparison programme as being different when transferred over MTP.
I have finally found that the problem is MTP.
I have attached 2 copies of the same file - shot on my Sony Xperia Z2.
At first glance it's just a quick video I took on an evening Thames cruise in London. The end of the video is important, MSC shows a man's head moving towards the bottom right hand side of the video at the end, the MTP version doesn't get that far.

What's causing the problem? I'm really happy to test any suggestions and report back.

Thanks

Moto g better than idol 3?

So I am surprised no has caught this yet. But the 2015 with far lesser hardware than that of the idol 3 is getting very high praises. The one main thing that is really standing out to me is the performance reviews. The snapdragon 400 with 1gb of ram and just how smooth this phone runs. I would think this would be a major jab at Alcatel on how unoptimized their software on the idol 3 is. I think this is also a testament that our phone is very capable of a butter smooth experience without any lag or stutters what's so ever if this can be done on the moto g.

My processor is slower than it should be!

I bought the phone today, but I think it's way slower than it should be. I know that the LG G Flex 2 has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 810 with 2.0 GHz quad core and a 1.5 Ghz quad core (octa core) CPU, but after i have runned a couple of benchmark tests in Antutu, I got a score between 35000 to 40000! That's way slower than Samsung Galaxy S5's Snapdragon 801! I thought that it whould get a score over 50000 When I see info about my CPU in Antutu after bemchmark test, it stands that the first four cores has a frequency of 1.5 GHz, while the other four cores has a frequency of 0.9 GHz (two of them are "sleeping" a lot)! Is it possible to fix that? I hope so. I've got the 16GB version with 2GB of DDR4 RAM. The device is upgraded to 5.1.1 Lollipop. (Sorry for bad English, I'm from Norway)

Way to clock more than 1 core?

Is there a way to clock multiple cores on a stock rooted kitkat ROM? Apps in the play store work but only change the primary core.

5.1 Priority Notifications are Worse than Moto Assist

This sucks. Moto Assist allowed me to set my sleep time so that someone would have to call me twice from the same number w/in 5 minutes for them to get my phone to ring. That was perfect.

That has apparently been eliminated in 5.1 so that now only priority notifications get through and they get through on the first try if you select your downtime settings. The problem I have with that is that I don't want to "star" any of my family members as they are the worst offenders in calling me when I am sleeping. But I do want them to be able to get through to me in an emergency and what I have instructed them to do is to call twice w/in 5 minutes to get through to me during my sleeping hours if it is an emergency.

Can I use tasker or some other app to get back the Moto Assist option that is now gone from Moto Assist?

Folders: Is there any way to have more than 9 icons without scrolling?

There's certainly enough screen real estate for at least one more row. And if they weren't spaced 25 miles apart there would be plenty of room for another column as well...
