How to get better battery Life?

Warning : don't hate plz.

So I have thought about my phone (The e970) and I've come to the conclusion that the only thing that is really wrong with it is the battery life.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to get great battery life? I saw some guy here on XDA who was extreme and like took apart his phone and stuff but I would really like a simple solution. I am rooted and on CyanogenMod.

Is Lollipop any better than KitKat on our phone?

I'm happy enough with Kitkat/CM11 functionality, however seems support is dieing, unofficial builds only, last stable release wasn't even built for our device, etc etc.

So I'm wondering if I should make the move to Lollipop/CM12.1. I read the main thread, seems to be lots of little connectivity issues and earlier discussions about bad responsivity, etc, but not much activity lately.

Basically I'm wondering if the main bugs are worked out, and if so, how does it run compared to KitKat on our phone; is there any reason to update, or will it just make my phone slower with no real advantage?

Do I have to root to better the music quality?

I received my Moto G yesterday and I love it, but I miss the bass I got from my Galaxy S2...
I use Rocket Player and when I turn up the bass, it get's a weird fake bass which sounds worse than without.
That happened on the S2 as well, but when I changed to Cyanogenmod it sounded great.
Do I have to flash a custom rom on my Moto G to get that, or is there some way to achieve that without losing warranty :S?

Are expensive branded cases really better than generic ones?

I'm currently waiting for my Moto X (2nd gen...) to arrive and searching for a case & screen protector.

I live in Israel and so prices are higher than in the US if I include shipping and so on. For example the Supcase bumper case which I assume will be best for me costs about 33$.
I've also checked Chinese sites like Ali Express and I can find all kind of cases for 1$-5$ and shipping is free. I'm wondering if there's any significant difference between those higher-priced branded cases to and generic ones in terms of protection. My current Moto G has a Trident Aegis case which is great but also pretty expensive - I'm wondering if I should again invest in a such a case (though not so bulky as this one) or I can go with one for 4$-5$ and get pretty good protection.

I WON'T compromise on protection but if I can get it for less money it's of course better.

Agenda/Calendar on lock screen? Or better widget?

The widget for the Calendar only displays in month mode? Is there any way to go agenda/daily mode? Or better yet, put it on the lock screen? I've dug around but can't find any display setting changes.

Alternative to installing Better Battery Stats as system app

Starting with Android 4.4 (KitKat) Better Battery Stats (BBS) require installation as system app to be able to collect the stats.
BBS must re re-installed as system app after each ROM upgrade (upgrade that does not preserve third party system apps).

I have found an alternative to this - the required permissions can be granted to BBS when it is installed as a regular user app by running these commands in Android Terminal (or ADB shell session):

Code:

---

su
pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats android.permission.BATTERY_STATS
pm grant com.asksven.betterbatterystats android.permission.DUMP

---

After using these commands it might be required to restart BBS process (e.g. reboot the device). Permissions granted this way will be preserved across ROM upgrades (even across those completely overwriting /system partition).

This has been tested on CyanogenMod 12.1 nightlies (Android 5.1.1).

Does custom roms on sense 7 are better than stock lollipop?

Hi guys, i am currently running stock rooted 4.4.3 on my htc m8. i already tried stock 5.0.1 twice but after a few days it starts getting slower and battery seems to be worse than kitkat. i tried stock gpe 5.1, it had good performance but sense for me is better than pure android. also i tried some sense 7 roms when they were released like skydragon and arhd. both had a few bugs and was not as fast as kitkat.
when i downgrade to kitkat i immediately feel the speed back, and notice that the battery lasts much longer.
what i want to know is how well custom roms are improved in lollipop and if they are better than kitkat.
or there is no lollipop rom that is better than kitkat? is there a bugfree sense 7 rom that is better than kitkat and is like stock?
thanks in advance.
