If you would like to make a donation for this ROM, don't do it only for me!!!

What is AICP?
AICP is known by someone as Ice Cold Project that started on Desire HD and since than evolved as a mature rom with the BEST community you can find!!!
Rom has always been AOKP based so expect all AOKP goodies + new additions.
If there are any bugs, either we will sort them or AOKP team if it conserns their modifications. This rom isn't AOKP supported so no need to report errors or bugs to them!!

What's Broken:
You tell...
ROMS
ROMS should contain everything you need to enjoy JB. You are not required to install any Add Ons, simply download the latest ROM, gapps, flash it, and go!
You are STRONGLY recommended to fully wipe your device before flashing, and if possible avoid restoring system apps and system data with Titanium Backup - these can cause stability issues that are very hard to debug. If you believe you know what you're doing - then fine, go ahead, but please don't complain if you experience strange behavior.
How to flash:
Don't do it if you don't know it
ROM has GAPPS, custom dpi & xposed persistance in between dirty flashes
Feel free to use any 4.4.2 GAPPS package on clean flash..

Give the Xposed module Phab7 a try to avoid changing DPI.

Same here, came from GPe with clean install.. Battery drain + the device hot, applications installed as same I use on GPe room. Tried to wipe cache and and Dalvic several times. Also tried cleaning Google play services including Google play and framework, deleting Google accounts and add it again, still not fix it. I guess it is aokp related as after tried flashing latest aokp 02.08.2014 nightly same issue persist.

There is an option in AICP Extras.Wakelock blocker.
Try to block that wakelock.

Roger that. Nearly flashed another ROM before I saw your reply.

i think custom aosp build always eat up massive battery on early installation, try to adapt, 2-3 days and see what happen.
however, this rom is the best thing that i ever across, since i own z ultra. :highfive:
please regular update, :good:
i think super SU > superuser, as more app failed to work under seperuser, dont know why many developer still prefer superuser.

Doubtful. What u can do to stop it is go onto the aicp extra settings and there is a wakelock blocker in there. Turn it on and block NLP wakelock. I'm on 6 hours and still at 85 percent now.

I have tried using the wakelock blocker But some of the blocked items are still having their occurrences increased despite being blocked. So I am still facing high battery drain though it was slightly better. Been trying to block other items to lower the drain but they are still draining. Trying to see if i install the bare minimum gapps and any improvement.
I'm not whining about the ROM though. It's good just that the drain is worrying for me as i could lose more than 30% in the night which result in my alarms not functioning and I would be in trouble.

Turn off location services and use the wakelock blocker to block anything that mentions GPS. I'm at 79 percent after 9 hrs.

I tried all of these:
1) Uninstalling velvet.apk and google play services from system/app and re-installing through play store. still, battery drained fast and device getting hot. Blocked nlpwakelock with AICP extras, block all google play services wakelocks with 'wakelock terminator', the problem remain unchanged.
2) with clean re installed ROM and immediately block the nlpwakelock with AICP extra, got no luck, even I used 'disable service' from google play to disable related wakelocks in the google play services, it only help to handle the nlp wakelock, but battery still draining fast and device getting hot.
both above is straight from GPe rom using GPe Philz dual boot.
3) these method seems work, I so hope so: from GPe rom I flashed aicp boot.img and full-wipe, then re installed ROM, no more nlpwakelock problem without disabling/blocking, also device temperature is normal.. Yes battery still dropped by about 45% within 2 hours (after restoring all apps with TiBu, massive browsing and setting up everything). Will test again after got fully charged.
Thanks!
EDIT:
Here is the stats after 2 hours 47 minutes, from 98% to 51%, from GPe rom, clean install using aicp kernel and pa zero days minimal gapps, nlpwakelock disabled by aicp extra, location off, google search greenified.
it has good deep sleep tough and rom has great performance! : )
*Note: this stats is after 2nd fully charged since flashed the rom
EDIT #2: Had to back to GPe rom for the time being as when the battery passed 50% down the device started to hot again, and I didn't realize the camera not works, it getting FC?

what kernel and gapps package are u using?
i'm on massive battery drain with aicp kernel, with pa zero day gapps and on another instance, tried aokp gapps... location disabled.
awesome rom... wish i could figure the cause of battery drain soon enough.

---

wew, charging most 2 hour straight but my battery never full, still at 60+%. device hot all days from charging till depleted to 20% in 3-4 hour without even using it.
hot i means very very hot, already disable all wakelock via built in app, manually disable location services, still no hope.
come from full format from gpe rom, wipe everything include /system.
- - notification bar size change form xhdpi to xxhdpi in aicp extras, its small to big, i want medium size, how can we change this.

---

Wowza, here is my battery life. I'm using PA mini gapps. Not sure why yours is so bad. Make sure u blocked everything gps related and them clear your Google services catch and data, then reboot.
