Wiko Rainbow Supports at the battery problem front - if there is any

Two real KitKat 4.4.4 Android ROMs for the Wiko Rainbow

Half-hearted and instable. On the other hand side 4.2.2 is getting old and a security risc. What's the problem and what to do against it? Anyway... Cyanogen on it's way! Read on...
