fc on google googles
some descriptions still in chinese.(belongs to the german/english rom von Moviestar)
wifi got sometimes error.need restart
the most thinks are cm based so it got the same bugs like the nightlys.
see the cm nighlty bug thread

large data drain on the Android.system process. 100 MB of traffic within 2 days is just unacceptable, probably in conjunction with this about a 4 times as high standy drain than in cm7.1.
When fast scrolling large lists (contacts, music) the letter indicator in the center of the screen gets stuck.
When using an app overriding the screen brightness setting (e.g. GPS Status) the brightness level does not switch back to automatic after exiting the app.
Some widgets are not sized correctly when they are put up on the homescreen.
GPS is somewhat slow, even though the userspace is updated like in cm7.1
Themes app is either force closing when selecting online apps or the preview screen goes blank after a split second showing available themes. This can be circumvented by installing themes manually by downloading them from the miui website.
Thats what I found out so far.

Me too saw FCs while changing themes. Just updating this thread for over-emphasis .

Battery life is dreadful, for me at least.
Apart from that, i've not noticed many bugs

Yes, battery sucker no doubt.
Forced close when i tried to access DND security settings.
Few of the HD games aren't running too..
Asphalt 6 HD, N.O.V.A, Bang Bang Racing, all these HD games.

nova 2 is working here

Funny enough, I managed to get 9 hours of usage out of 20% battery.
What I did was deny the android system process internet access using the firewall, disabled data when not needed and froze the MIUI messenger as well as antispam and sidekick application.

How do you deny that with the firewall?

Will it not harm the system by denying the android system process access to the internet?

I havent noticed any drawbacks so far. But I'm sure you're right. I'm waiting for arcee to merge the latest kernel update before switching back to miui.
The denial was necessary, because the process was eating away on my data package.

Q:Best settings for battery

Hello.i want to know what settings do you use on your SGS for a good battery life but without losing to much performance.
I use x-bean 3.0 with semaphore kernel v2.4.0s.
Share your configs if you like.thank you all!
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

As I don't own a SGS but a + I probably have different settings, but what always helps for me is downloading JuiceDefender. If you don't know this app, you should try it
For example: You can imagine your phone uses some battery life to stay connected to 3g, wifi etc. One of this settings disables your 3g/wifi whenever you turn your screen of, and enables it when you turn it on. For me, this improved my battery life big time. There are settings which allow your phone to enable wifi once while, but that's all up to the options.
As for what the best settings are for a 'decent' performance is quite different to what you experience as a decent performance.

Really?thank you i will give it a try.but i need wifi to be working all the time.i know that use a lot of battery but my biggest problem is my screen.this is what drains ny battery.lol.now i have checked the auto feature for the screen.we will see.thank you for your quick reply and for your help! :thumbup:

You shold try Advanced Task Killer (as a widget especially, easy to use) - see attachement. It kills your background apps, saving RAM, and batterty. You must have 100MB+ free RAM at least...
Also, if you're not using 3G, you should turn it off, because this is one of "the biggest problems" for battery... (same thing with Wi-Fi or bluetooth).
So...if you have at least 100MB RAM free, and a little usage of 3G and Wi-Fi, you should have 2-3 hours of "screen on" batterty-life

Yeah i had this app on my wildfire but when i got this phine and i saw that there is a tasj killer onboard i thought that its not gonna help me.but i remember that with this app you have by far morr options of killing apps.
Btw whats the name of your clock widget? Beautiful widgets or something else? :thumbup:
Thanks for recommending the app btw! :thumbup:
Sent from my GT-I9000 using xda app-developers app

the name of widget is "GO Weather EX"
your current ROM probably has Task Manager by default, but there are many ROMs without it by default, so ... then...you'll need it
anyway, for me, even if I have Task Manager by default it's more easier to just click on a small widget on the homescreen than open Task Manager...clear RAM...bla bla bla

Task killers? In what century do you live? They drain the battery more than helping anything which has been proven a zillion times. Linux is not Windows.
So at thread starter: Don't use task killers. The CPU will have to push the tasks into RAM again and thus won't go into deep sleep.
Everything else was already mentioned: Juice Defender, Underclocking to 800 MHz and using a decent governor.

Phone cuts out during games?

From what i've read seems like a regualr problem, Just picked the phone myself, But when playing things like Temple Run 2, Candy Crush & Tapped out, the phone just cuts out.
Problem has happened with Stock ROM, and on CM 10.1.
What am I best doing?

Sometimes apps can close on their own if Android is running out of free memory. Check to see how many processes you have running and free up some memory before you start the game by closing running apps . There are so many memory cleaner & app manager apps but the best I have found is a very basic app called fmr memory cleaner and then I use SystemCleanup by inteks which is the best cache cleaner out of so many that I've tried. So if this is the reason your apps are closing this should fix the problem.

U shud try a kernel with no ram hack

I dont mean the apps jsut close, I mean the phone just dieds.
Flat out dead. have to pull the battery and try again.
Even if im running only that game.

I use GO Task Manager to clean up my RAM memory. They have a nice little widget which shows the percentages of RAM in use. Click the button (might have to click it 2 times every once in a while) and you'll see the percentage go down. This might help clear up some RAM for your games.
If this doesn't help, try reinstalling the ROM, preferably with a full whipe (remember to back up your data, just in case).

How can i permenetly shut down that open aplications,becouse it drain my battery very fast and i can use my phone only 5 hours.
What aplication is the best for task killer and how can i solve this problem?
Is nessesery to be open so many working aplication? Is this have effect on battery?
Sorry for my bad english_
Thx in advance!
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

40-50 apps? I guess it's showing you the running processes and not apps. Some of them maybe system processes. And you can disable the apps through settings-applications-running-click on a app and disable. And 5 hours battery life isn't very bad if the usage is continuous with WiFi on!

Yes, i think that is a process running. I dont use wi-fi only gprs and still 5 hours of battery is a very litlle time to use_
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Look 5 hrs when youre using your phone constantly isn't very bad! How old is your battery? Do hit thanks if i helpes

Battery is 2 months old.. but i wont to solve problem with that process that open in background,is that also normal? To be so much open,some of that is process but some of that is program..i will put a screenshot..
RUNNING PROGRAM:50!! I DONT USE HALF OF THAT BUT STILL IS OPEN,how can i close em down?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

It isn't normal for so many processes to be running. You are using the Touchwiz firmware. When you restart your phone and start an app, say messaging, it takes a certain time to open. Now when you close it(Not force close), and open messaging again, the time required for it to open will be significantly lesser than the last time as the process is running in the background. What I'd suggest yoy to improve your battery life is you make it a habit to periodically close the recent apps(long press home and slide the apps sidewards). And for apps like viber, uninstall them if you don't use them because apps relating to IM like gtalk, viber, skype, whatsapp will always run in the background. And do go to settings-battery to check out the battery consumption and you'll know the culprit there
Try this app Greenify if your phone is rooted, works wonders
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...eenify&feature=nav_result#?t=W251bGwsMSwyLDNd

Ya. Greenify is able to hibernate downloaded apps.

or you can try go to settings > developers options > limit background processes > and set limit to 4 process only, it doesnt affect stability and it boost performance a bit for me
I think it can help a little,..

As a general rule, free RAM is wasted RAM (except when it gets too low): http://www.androidcentral.com/ram-what-it-how-its-used-and-why-you-shouldnt-care.
As you will read, task killers are additionally counter-productive, because most of the killed apps will restart, using more battery and cpu. The most sensible way to preserve battery and resources it to use app like Autorun Manager or Autostarts, with which you can disable specific triggers causing selected apps to autorun.
If you care about battery saving, you can find more info in those two threads:

It helps me a lot. I don't have rooted phone
But can I root the phone and get access to system and root files but I want to keep this official ROM but still have rooted phone, is that possible?
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Very much possible bro. Just root the phone, don't install any new ROM. There are very safe threads on how to root here in the android development forum. The PhilZ method is very easy and recommended.

What about upadete? If I root the phone,if there be an official update can I download and update the phone or 4.1.2 is the last that this phone will get? When I root the phone then I will can turn off this background programs and process?

Follow that link above. And after you root, you'll be able to use apps like greenify and the others suugested earlier in the thread. The app greenify is very useful, developed by a xda member, it allows you to hibernate apps so that a non-system process starts only when you use the app and not by itself. And yes you'll be able to update though im not sure if there will be a 4.2.2 update for note any soon. Anyway once you root, you can always install a supported custom ROM with the highest android version!

Yes. It is possible to have stock rom with root. Try searching for philz kernel. Get the one that matches your rom and flash it in recovery mode. But of cause your recovery will be changed to CWM recovery.
And it is also possible that you will not he able to.get OTA or Kies update anymore.

Background apps

Hey everyone
I've LG optimus 2x and I'm really tired and frustrated of Facebook and messenger app running in background.
1) it uses a lot of ram in my memory and phone is really slow.
2) It dries a lot of battery. Horrible. Yesterday I've uninstalled facebook app from my phone and I could finally use my phone without any single lag. First time in a few months that I use this phone, after that. Usually battery goes on 99% in about standby, now my phone is already 4h on standby and it's still on 100%. Finally phone works as it should be
So, question is, is there any good app or way to stop running these apps in background? I've already tried service disable but when I disabled some services app crashes and it was useless. So cross app disable and autokill apps.

If your rooted you should try greenify or install a custom rom like tonyp's PA Rom.
