I'm finding it great, it's fast, not sure on the battery life yet, I guess it'll improve after a few weeks of proper use, I'm liking the new theme too. I've got a live wallpaper on and it's not sucking the battery life but I've not got lots of the gimmicks enables.

So what custom roms are you guys running? Was a long time user of x-note on kitkat before they had xda "beef" (think they're back now but no lollipop) and then tried echo rom, friedrich420's rom, omega rom etc. (I'm a bit of a flashaholic) using aryamod lollipop atm and it's pretty good but a few niggles here and there.
So, back to the question! What are you guys running? Stock? Rooted? Custom? CM?

I'm running lollipop lxr21vn9500xxugboa5 last night I got a 57mb software update

Not sure what it does but left my phone on as normal last night and the battery dropped 1 percent

Is there an official higher powered battery like you could get with the s3 ?

Also has anybodys chrome chipped or come off ?

I have the white version and mine has

The battery on my Note 3 is awful. I am running Lollipop and am getting around 8 hours battery life with light\ moderate use. Using Battery monitor it is showing that over 40% of the drain is coming from 'Android System' and 'Kernel'

Im starting to think that it may be the actual battery as my phone is charging slow now.
