[Verizon] [ROM][4.1.1] Bugless Beast

Pete noted the automatic brightness only partially works as the screen will get brighter but does not dim when moving into low light. Try manually setting your brightness until the fix comes.

Well my signal problem is fine now, realized it was just me.

Im running bugless beast 4.1.1 jelly bean and im on my battery 10hours 8minutes 40 seconds and im at 14% battery

the battery manager says Screen is 56% culrpit.. which is strange since I leave it on Automatic Brightness always, is this normal?

Just a quick update its been about a week for me on LeanKernel 4.1.0 on Bugless Beast and after letting it break in, today I achieved 15 hours of unplugged time, and a hair under 3 hours of screen time. This is on the stock battery and by far the best screen on time I've seen on JellyBean. Just thought I'd throw that out there but I'm still loving Bugless Beast and don't see myself changing any time soon :)

Installed the 7/19 BB nightly a few days ago and, for the most part, am really liking JB. I do have a couple of questions/comments that I would appreciate getting some feedback on to see if its just me or a general problem:

1) Wifi signal seems worse than with Stock ICS 4.0.4. With ICS, my wifi signal in my bedroom was weak but reliable. Now it is weak and very unreliable, constantly disconnecting. I read that this was an issue in 4.1 and you could reflash ICS wifi drivers, but the most recent article stating this was from June and I figured this might have been included in the ROM. Anyone have any insight into this?

2) Voice recognition when trying to use the voice dialer over bluetooth is absolutely atrocious (and I have downloaded offline voice and have checked the make voice recognition better over time [or something like that] option in voice settings. Out of 10+ tries, not a SINGLE ONE has been correct. ICS had a 80+% success rate with the same names. This is really, really annoying to me. Anyone else had this experience?

3) Launching the camera app seems slow. This is important to me because with two crazy little kids, every second counts when I'm trying to fire up my camera to catch their shenanigans. But it takes ~2 seconds for the camera app to load when I swipe to the camera from the homescreen. I was hoping that project butter might have fixed this (I think it was about the same on ICS), but apparently it didn't. On the flip side, I love the changes they made to the camera app (I like the fly-off effect when you take a picture; my phone is almost always on vibrate and its very useful in knowing that I actually took a picture). I also really love the changes to the gallery and how much easier it is to delete a picture.

4) Tethering apps. Neither FoxFi or Wifi Tether are working for me. I've setup native tether but haven't tried it yet. I will try soon. Previous posts mention a workaround to get the native tether working but I haven't found it myself. Also, I've searched for a native tether widget to enable/disable it but haven't found anything yet, just a settings shortcut, which isn't terrible, but a dedicated on/off widget would be nice.
