I'm using multirom since day one.

If have a second SFOS to test SF updates and check if the patches i use are working, and i test the kernelsbefore i install them on my main SFOS installation.

By the way a new kernel is on the way with updated wifi drivers and some power managment improvements, i hope to release it this evening.

Regarding the powersave when the phone is suspended, if the phone is in idle state the tick rate does not matter that much, since kernel 3.4 is nearly running tickless when idle. Sadly full tickless mode was introduced in kernel 3.10 and i haven't found a working 3.10 version for the N5.

EDIT: Seems francos kernel for the N5 is tickles...looks like i've got some work to do
