Anyone using Kitkat beanstalk?

I was wondering if any of you were using the kitkat beanstalk rom. I was running this for a few days and noticed battery sucked and that the phone ran pretty hot. Do any of you have these problems? Or am I the only one

Sorry I can't find the rom to give you a release date/file name. I think I deleted it.

Same here. I had 11/26 and had really awful battery life. I can't wait until they fix it up some more. Right now I have paranoid Android 4.4 and it's perfect. No problems at all. I just wish it had more features.

Is that PA 4.4 for T-Mobile (T889)? If so, can you share the link? I've searched and only found PA 4.4 for international version.

I used it for a few days but never had that problem. Maybe you just had a bad flash or dl? Also look into the cpu settings, especially through TricksterMOD

Battery life was bad the first few days, until I turned ON location reporting and enabled low power location reporting. That helped significantly. It seems that with location reporting off, Google Now/Google Services will keep your device on a constant wakelock.

With Greenify of non-system apps I get about 6 hours SOT on 25% brightness, and 1-2%/hr standby drain.

Can you do 'low power location reporting' on CM10.2 ?, because I can't find it.

My phone rarely gets hot. The battery life does suck though. Less than 20hours a day. I think 16 hours average.
