I am getting a feeling, that the battery life with OZ is (much?) shorter than it was with Cacko.
Is my battery dying ? Or is it really shorter?

It may be to do with the more accurate battery level reporting.
OZ doesn't lie about the percentage - this means that even when fully charged, one of my batteries immediately falls to 80%.
Time it and see is probably the best bet, but I'd imagine that OZ is better.

I just switched from Cacko, and it definitely isn't worse in OpenZaurus, in fact, I think it is better (on C-1000).

Thank you. So maybe its my battery getting older...
In c1000 maybe its better, but in a model with HD only use the life in shorter for Good! Think about it
