I was also getting a low quadrant score, 1101 before and 1500+ after the restore
if you are having battery issues you might want to try restoring the phone
has anyone else experienced the same thing?

Miss the old icons and deeper black notification bar, ahem
using root explorer move them yourself.
Stayed up late last night so I could get my Charge back to stock and make sure it was clean. I loaded AB here along with the patch 4.1.1 and its a great ROM. I know there is some theming still to go but really its a super slick ROM.
I have one suggestion is it possible to have the latest Gmail and Google Maps put into the System folder instead of d/l them and wasting what little internal app storage. I noticed after install I went from 1.12GB to 1.04GB (rfs to ext4 conversion eats up a little of that).
I know I have read a couple people having a battery drain with altered beast and would like to ask a couple questions
what version are you on?
did you do a factory reset after loading the rom?
did it just install over your current rom?
I installed AB over my rooted rom and was not getting great battery life for what I was doing. So I did a factory reset from cwm and reloaded everything exactly how it was before I restored and it seemed to cure what ever my problem was.
When I first installed AB it did not wipe my phone, everything was there like before the rom was on it, ringtones, settings everything. I would wantch my phone drop 3% sometimes just checking an email, even with the screen off not using the phone it would chew through 5% an hour.
Now after restoring my phone last night it has been almost 9 hours since I took it off the charger and I have only used 8%

I also did start to notice some of the menus that are hard to read through the carbon fiber, but I started out with V4+4.1.1 patch so I wasn't aware of how V4 looked on it's own.
I may experiment tonight and flash back to Rooted Stock ED1, then install just V4 and get a sense from that before I put the patch back on. Any word on V5 or what types of continued enhancements will be coming along.
Battery life so far for me, started my phone at 7am, push email from Gmail and Exchange, installed a few updated apps and made 2 calls, currently @ 85% on an extended battery.

I am not sure how to get the patch installed, I downloaded 4.1.1, moved it on to my SD card, but I am stuck here:
4. Put the kernel on root of sd, or you can leave it in download folder, but DON'T rename the file
5. Boot into Clockwork MOD recovery (either from ROM Manager or manually- hold volume up and down at same time and press power button, then select "apply sdcard: update.zip"
6. In recovery select "Install zip from sd card"
7. Select "Choose zip from sd card"
Which Zip file am I looking for or trying to install?
Holy jesus...that's amazing battery life. So all you did was perform a factory reset on the device? Or did you flash the ED1 stock ROM in Odin and did you stay rooted? And then you had to re-install this ROM, right?
I have SetCPU installed running Altered Beast. Is there a need for it? I have it set to underclock when the screen is off, thinking it will save battery life. Am I right thinking that?
quadrent is stupid.
You are looking for altered_beast_4.1.1.zip
If you can't find it in the root of the SD card, maybe try moving it to your downloads folder first then navigate to that through cwm. Also, I have not been able to get cwm to go 'back' at all, although maybe that's just me. My point being, make sure you navigate to the right folder since you may have to pull the battery if you can't back out of the wrong folder. It also seemed like I got the phone to turn off in cwm by holding the power button down for a bit. ymmv
Also, I like using dropbox for these little files. Its a quick and easy way to get (smaller) files onto the sd card
How does one go about getting their quadrant score??

I went into the boot menu and selected factory reset and it reset and cleared all my data so it was just the altered beast rom on my phone and I had to go through the setup when you first get the phone and enter your gmail account. After that I installed the AB update and restored all my apps and settings. This was at around 1am and when the phone was done charging I unplugged it. it sat untouched from 1 am ish to 8 am when my alarm went off and I got up and that was all it used for battery.
I knew something was up and this rom was not working right for me. I would guess it had something to do with my settings or something clashing with the stock rom.
I have used my phone a lot today, almost an hour in phone calls, texts, emails and a little web surfing and I am at 70% left
I am a very happy camper not that I got this squared away!!!
