More specifically its a CM7 bug not just MIUI. You have to experiment with different kernels and modems. Especially modems, the best one is dependant on your area.

i have tried, i have change kernels, i havent changed modems, because i have been experiencing good battery life the past months, with the same kernel, so i think that the modem is not the problem.

i flashed a earlier version (the 98th nightly) and my battery life has improved a lot, im not experiencing "android os" and "android system" processes appearing in my battery status screen and eating my battery, my display is now in first place (40%) in 2hours and 43minutes, but they are still present, at 15% android OS, and at 10% android system, is that a good sign?
It is if its better than b4 then yes

Yahh pinnacle is really nice, I am sorta a flash aholic and flash a lot roms just to keep it 'fresh' ;P Probably the best ROM is MIUI for CRAZY PERFORMANCE and looks, KH3 AND JVS for Performance and battery, some(very little to none) lag.
But if your looking a daily driver stick with leaked samsung stock roms!!!!

i loved MIUI and CM7 but i dont know why my battery started to suck, the battery didnt last 8 hours, less than 8 hours sometimes, but i really liked MIUI, but this pinnacle rom sometimes it freezes and reboot, if an app freezes, the phone reboots, i have had almost 3 reboots since i flashed it, im thinking trying Apex, so lets see what happens.

Are you using touchwiz 4.5? Because it is known to cause freezing and reboots on the Roms mentioned.

i think so, is the new touchwhiz launcher so i assume its the 4.5, but i dont think is the launcher, because the reboots has happened while opening for example, quadrant standard, you think tha launcher is related to that?

Well others have reported that TW 4.5 has been acting up on some of the newer ROMS and causing freezing and reboots. So I'd suggest using a different launcher for a bit to see if it is affecting you also.

lagging even though over clocked

I'm using rocket rom v23 with Abyssnote kernel version 4.2. And overclocked to 1.4ghz with ondemand using SETCPU. I don't have any background running application other than background data and gps enabled all the time.
For past week my phone is very slow and i need to wait for couple of seconds to let the app open. Why is this happening and what is the resolution?? I don't have any issue in battery. And also I don't want to loose any app's data.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Overclocked? But it's already 1.4 ghz.
Which launcher do you use? How many apps installed? How many widgets placed on your screens? And beside that just a simple hint: look forward for ICS...the lag will be gone immediately

You mean the official update? How can you be sure it will vanish the lag?
It is clear you have done something to the system.. even a stock note performs better than this.

Lag is in most if not in all Notes !
My Galaxy Note also have lag problem
I have GS2 and Note and GS2 is like bullet on Stock gingerbread ! Just open app booom opened ! I think it's because GS2 already had a bunch of patches and updates to the OS comparing to the Note !
So I think the only way to fix this in Note is to wait for ICS !

Try rebooting into CWM then clearing cache and davlik cache. I had similar problem with another ROM gradually slowing down and wasn't sure what was causing it. Clearing the caches sorted the problem.

I have overclocked a few phones in my past, but the Note? Really its so fast and all works super smooth. Maybe with the right ROM where the dev already pre-overclocked it... But setCPU was never working great for me. Maybe just my opinion, but wipe, and get yourself a good ROM. No need to overclock this beast.
There is no lag "problem" per se. period. Stating there is a "problem" makes the assumption that there can be a fix.
You cannot fix the inequality in display processing between the S2 and the Note, given that the Note must process 2.6 times as much information for the display as the S2, so it will ALWAYS appear to be not quite as fast as the S2, given it has similar hardware.
So given you cannot get a gallon of beer in a pint glass, making it a different pint glass (ICS) wont help.
Now, sure the appearance of "lag" on the Note can be minimised thru tweaking optimisations, but note (small n) that the same can be also applied to the S2! Essentially, never in a month of Sundays will two devices with similar hardware, one of which is doing 2.6 times the work, ever appear to operate with the same UI zip.

The thing is...I don´t have any lag at all. Even with stock. BUT I can see a huge difference (on Stock rom) between TouchWiz and alternative launchers. Touchwiz is smooth as butter, whereas Go Launcher Ex shows a small lag (and it´s the fastest GB launcher alternative afaik.
And beside that: Currently I´m on Stunner (ICS) and here it is even a better experience. Absolutely no lag or waiting time, never, period.
I can´t sign the statement anymore, that the note is slower than a SGSII...I have both of them, and on Stunner it´s quite the same experience

[Q] Help. Phone reboots without reason.

My friend's samsung galaxy mini, running on cm9, sometimes reboots automatically... this heapens every time when he preforms an action wich takes some cpu. (Like whatsapp, playstore or sometimes even when just unlocks the screen. We tried a clean cm7 rom and a heavily tweaked cm7 rom. So they are very different roms, but still same problem.
Is this a common problem and does somebody know a solution for this?

Yea still CM9 is buggy and is stil nt gud for daily use. N rest of the roms are working fin like CM7 stable version or Cyanmobile experience or new experience by autoradio
Coz we nvr experienced des probs. These probs wil b in the initial versions of certain roms. So try stable versions of roms and you shouldn't get reboot probs..

Well that is not common, maybe he should not overclock his phone. try Cm7 by mebitek or creeds 4.0 rom. Maybe apps force close as he is doing heavy multi-tasking. If u think its hardware defect, u can flash a stock rom and play the dumb at service centres.

[Q] Keyboard Typos

The Ace has a habit of sometimes typing the same letter twice every time you're typing something. I use the Keyboard from Android 2.3+ since it's the only one that lets me type fast enough. Swiftkey lags like crazy and other keyboards just don't work the same.
Is there a way to fix this? It really caps my typing speed D:

What touch problem? The one where the screen flings randomly? Yeah I do. I'm using the Myth 2. You think it's kernel related? I HAVE noticed that it only happens on certain roms and such. Never really could tell what it was.

However, I reflashed the rom and now it works great.

Happened to me on gueste2x v3.8 last night while I was USB tethering...and I was just pushing for a record time running made it to 160 hours and had to pull battery out to get it working again. As mentioned already, it's probably something to do about background data/wifi activity.
Nevertheless, I still recommend gueste2x v3.8 :thumbup: Give it a try
