BEWARE: Battery overheating on r155 & r167. The latter was 30% better, but still overheats.

-CleanROM 5.5.1
-Gorilla Gadgets 4500mah Battery
-ZaggShield & skin

Never experienced any abnormal heating that I don't see with any flashes...

My guess is a voltage issue...you don't happen to know if you have a "fast" "normal" or "slow" CPU do you??

Also...try going into developer options and disable usb debugging for a couple minutes...then re enable...

I know Ziggy mentioned they were trying to track down a funky bug in the USB modules

Installed v169 yesterday. So far so good. After getting it set up 'like I like it' and charged it overnight battery life looks promising. Took 2.5 hours of standby (little or no use) to go from 100% to 99% this AM.

I did have heating issues yesterday, but I was downloading from the play store, etc. It's fine this morning. I didn't like that it's overclocked to 1900Mhz, so I used ROM Toolbox to back it down to 1500Mhz. That may be part of the heating issue, not sure.

With my last several phones (Droid 1, Thunderbolt, GS3) and a couple dozen ROMs tried, this is the first one that I've had an overheating issue with.

Regarding the CPU, I didn't look.

As for the USB, I will keep that in mind.

I know what I'll be doing when I get home.

I had some heat issues with Ziggy's kernel too. When I went to system tuner I found that it was clocked at 1.9 MHz and the governor was set to lag free. When I toned it down it helped with the heat issues but I still ended up flashing Lean kernel. I find the battery life is a little better and no heat issues. I'll go back to Ziggy's in the next release.

I, also, did the toggle USB debugging tip? I think that helped out too.

Even at 1500Mhz it got a little warm last (112F) when I was using the GPS indoors. It cooled down quickly when I was done.

Battery life yesterday was 16 hours with almost 4 hours screen time. Almost what I've gotten running stock. Looks like I'll kept Synergy for a while.
