I'm back.....!!! - G Pad 8.3 General

Been dragged back into the modding game...
V500 was on CM11 & ticking along very nicely FYI...
Kids (and maybe yours truly) have been playing Slitherio, but dang it's been laggy!
So, to get a bit longer (so to speak), I did an ota update... Things were working, apart from Playstore & Google services.
After some fuddling, a factory reset + gapps install - I'm now on CM12.1 and it's looking pretty sweat.
Plus, the worm has turned =)

Running official CM12.1, TWRP 2.8.4 and Rick Rolls kernel - Red#15...
Latest minimal Gapps...
All is running well (apart from XDA app!?)
Got the old modding embers flaming again

hy guys. Im starting in the android world, as you can see i ve succesfully built AICP from source, even managed to remove a few apps from the build, made my own gapps(using banks minimal gapps and google camera and google chrome), also removed stock launcher and replaced it by nova launcher and changes default dpi
My next step in rom building ll be to change everything that is related to D802 in about phone to D806(its the same phone,different number)
Ofcourse i could change the build.prop manually once the zip is built but thats not the idea, wanna do it before building, could someone help me?
Thanks in advance.

[Q] ADB not working on latest CM11 build

I flashed the latest CM11 build in my DX, and so far it's going great. As usual, I went to install the Samba app, since the USB seems to still be a bit buggy. Oh well. Luckily, I found an APK for it on another XDA thread, since it seems to have been pulled from the Play store. I went to push it to my DX, and it seems that ADB isn't working. Normally the DX would prompt me to give my laptop permission to use ADB, but...nothing. I've tried rebooting the phone and my laptop multiple times, and I made sure that my user was a member of the group "plugdev". Does anyone have a workaround for this?

Sudden Battery Impact

Battery problems are a dime a dozen, I know, but this one cropped up in the last few days and I want to check if it's affecting anyone else.
I have a stock, 5.0 I-9505G, and the kernel (Android OS) and Android System have spiked in usage the past week. I suspect it's connected to a Google Play Services update, but I haven't seen other reports on it.
Anyone else's stock kernel acting out? What would your all recommend?

It's caused by an app, some setting in your phone etc. If you can't figure it out, then try a factory reset.

Recently started getting weird gradient in most apps

Can close the thread. Still don't know why it happened but a restart fixed it.
-----------
Is this a known thing? I first noticed it in the Google Messenger app but it seems to have spread to most apps. I'm running stock (MPH24.49-18) without root on Verizon.
Included Tapatalk screen as an example, can barely read the recent changes block in the play store due to the gradient.

Ok, that's really strange. Phone had been running for 400+ hours so I went ahead and restarted it. Now everything looks fine again... even the screenshot I attached to this post.
