Hey guys,
I feel that my data speed has gotten a lot slower and my signal has not been as strong expecially indoors... I flashed beans first... Then went clean rom... Then tried CM but nandroided to clean rom real quick... Then clean installed beans 5 and sticking with it... I just feel like everything seems a little slower and also signals been going in and out and battery life hasn't been great lately... I know these seem like a lot of variables and I don't have much data but wondering if anyone has any tricks? Like places I usually had full service bars I only have 3 now (I know bars don't mean much)... But any way I was wondering if I should Odin back to stock and start over? Thanks for the help!

I'm sure there are a million threads like this, and if there are i am sorry. But how is CyanogenMod 7 for us on the Vibrant? Because i really want to use this rom, because it is gingerbread, but how STABLE is it and how is battery life?
I dont use GPS nor do i use data so i have no problem going without them. If y'all could let me know what you think of it that would be fantastic.
P.S. I'm using Bionix NextGen and its somewhat decent, i just want an upgrade.
I'm using CM7 with Bo data (data works, but I don't have the data plan), and have no need for GPS.
Battery life is ok, I can make around 20hours on a charge. Haven't noticed anything too bad yet.

I gave up on it, as while most of the major functionality was fine, I got random FC's with some fully stable apps, and I couldn't handle the rainbow screen issues.
From what I've read, it looks like with some tweeking and the proper kernal some users have gotten it very stable. My suggestion, is do some reading, particularly the OP's on the CM7 and Kernal threads.
i can speak to this, have been running the newest and second to newest updates of CM7. very stable and usable -gps would be nice, but it is stable and reliable.
battery life could be better, i am used to having 20-30 hours with 2.2 roms, but i get right 16-18 hours with moderate use.
you can also try simply galaxy
Just switched back from CM7 to trigger3.2. Battery life was horrible.(tried switching kernels)
I'm a bit discouraged by the whole EFS Backup/restore business. Is this ever likely to not be an issue?
alright so im running kaosfroyo v39 for the first time, my phone is extremely quick now, very little lag compared to what it was stock, my only issue is that i use easytether for my net when im not home and since putting the Rom on my phone its been really really really slow, im talking .5mb down and under .25mb up, before i put the rom on it i was getting around 2.5mb up and 1mb down, any ideas on why this happened? i ran a PRL update and so far no improvement, just extremely slow speeds
heres a speedtest to a server i test all the time http://www.speedtest.net/result/1299345833.png
also, for some reason when i run speed tests now its showing me in the middle of ohio and im currently in NW PA
That looks like what a 3g try should look like.

same
having the same prob
Thinking about trying the mash-up mod on cm7 but can't really find anyone who said they use it on cm7 and like it. Wondering if its worth it and what improvement did u see? Thanx
I ran it for a few days then flashed the stock one back.
So no improvement? If that's the case Imma just stay stock cm7
Umm I actually flashed yesterday.. what's its supposed to do? I know I dnt have any wifi issues anymore.... not sure what to attribute it to tho

Worked great on Eclipse for me... nothing really on CM7 IMHO.
CM7 DX2
I can attest to the signal improvements..

It most certainly speeds up 3G and Wifi. Keeping wifi connected is something im not so sure about...Im running mash up, Moon's wifi fix AND Wifi fixer and mine takes 2-5 minutes to connect sometimes. Shut the screen off for 2 mins and BAM!! Signal lost...
BUT, when you do get a consistent connection with either medium your system with be noticeably faster than w/o it. Videos load much quicker and even the most animation heavy page will come up in seconds.
I've also noticed I have a bit more memory free now than I used to.
Thanks. I think Imma try it out.
One more question tho. How much info on the phone is gonna get erases by just clearing cache and dalvik?

Not a whole heck of a lot - I'm sure you wont even notice it if you don't look. Neither one will touch anything important.

I don't remember exactly when it started, but the last month or so my WiFi signal strength had been a lot weaker on my phone. I want to say it started when I started using ASOP roms, but even back in a sense Rom now, I can't hold a signal even one room away. It's not my router because other phones/laptops still get a good signal.
Any ideas on potential fixes to improve signal strength? I'm s-off and on Ineff Deus 1.2 at the moment. Tried different kernels with the same results.
Not much I can say, I get better wifi reception on CM9. Holds out way more than it did on senseless ROMs.
Wipe and reflash?
Already clean flashed a couple roms. Doesn't help. Now I'm just on LTE all the time, so not a huge issue, but of course battery drain is much higher.
Did you recently replace the battery cover or have it off a lot ? The contacts could be funky for the antenna..

Hello I've been running TW roms on my Note 2 for a long time now, and I love them but I came from the Galaxy Nexus and I am missing 4.2.2 and the whole AOSP feel. Things that I had a question on are:
1. When I flash a 4.2.2 rom will I be able to flash back to a 4.1.2 TW rom? or are there things that I should do to avoid any issues?
2. What kind of battery life can I expect? I know that no one can say for sure but just wondering a roundabout estimate. On TW I can get a good 24hours of battery life and around 3 hours of screen time, is it anywhere close to this?
3. Is there anything I can do to get SPen to work? I don't use it alot but I would like to use it still if possible.
That is all I think, thank you for your help in advance.

1. You can flash between AOSP and TW ROMs no problem, you just need to wipe data each time. You can also just make a nandroid of your current stock TW ROM and simply restore that if you want to go back.
2. I havent had my Note 2 very long, but I immediately put AOSP on it and based on my weeklong experience you will have no problem whatsoever getting the same usages out of the battery on AOSP, it might even end up beating that.
3. IDK about using the S-pen. I dont use it myself so I never bothered looking into it.
Hope this helps.

I was in the same boat as you. Ive flashed almost every AOSP rom here and I have never had one for over 24 hours. They all just dont have the "umph" where the TW roms all are chock full loaded of nice features that I thought I may never use. Ive always gone back to tw.
If you want, try Tweaked rom with the AOSP theme, VERY close to AOSP looks but woth a lot of TW functionality and customizations

I'm probably over-stepping my boundaries as an AOKP member...
But hey, I'll vouch for us :silly:.
Battery life exceeds your current use-case in my experience.
Yes, you can easily flash back to touchwiz.
We support SPen. You can even assign left/right/up/down swipe gestures and long-press, and double-click actions to custom actions.
I.E. Left-swipe (while holding the button) can open an app, simulate a home/back/recents press...etc.
Thank you all for your input! I decided to try it out for myself and I flashed Illusion ROM and the boast 2 days have been awesome with it nice and smooth and battery life seems about the same as it was with TW. I got almost 19 hours of battery life and 5 hours of screen time.
My only gripes about AOSP is that the volume is very low and I can barely hear people when calling them but hopefully I can find a mod or something to fix that. My signal seems to be worse too which is weird since it seems to be the same radios as the TW ROMs..well as far as I can tell.
Thanks again!

There are free apps to fix sound for now
And the signal bars are just tricking you into thinning you get more service on TW check the dBm under about phone- status
I'd call good service anything less the 100

Oh I wasn't aware of that, it just seemed lower becase my signal will drop all the way to 1X sometimes and I never noticed it with TW but maybe what you are saying is right and the signal bars weren't showing whats really going on. Do you know any of the apps to fix sound off hand? I've looked at a few but the ones I've found says that they don't work on 4.2.2 just 4.1.x. Thank you!

To fix the sound the easiest thing is to flash Plasma kernel and install Stweaks.
As for the service issues there may be some depending on your ROM and what is being done with the RIL on CM. Ultimately it isn't much to worry about unless you're missing calls and texts.

I might try plasma and see how that is..hopefully battery life is still good with it. The service is starting to bother me just because in stream a lot of music from Google Music and songs have been cutting out on me lately which never happened to me on a TW ROM...my phone has been getting really hot too..

There's also a STweaks guide in the forums here that can help you adjust voltages, etc...
