Other bugs:

If you are experiencing a bug that is not on this list perform a full wipe and flash the ROM again, if you don’t know how to do this; just follow the coming from another ROM instructions. When the problem persists after a flash try to determine what can be causing it. Try to find out if certain apps trigger the problem and if it’s there immediately after a reboot. Then you can post your problem with as much details as possible, wait a day before posting your problem again.

Note:

Doing a full wipe causes a loss of data, there are three ways to back up your data. Every option has its benefits, read all three options and decide which one suits your needs.

1. A Nandroid backup, you can do this from CWM under back up and restore. This will create a complete system image, this is mostly used when switching ROM and you want to be able to switch back easily. When you restore this backup everything will be exactly the same as when you backed up, all bugs included.

2. MIUI built in backup, this is mostly used when staying within MIUI. All your settings, apps and contacts will be conserved, except for your mail settings and account passwords, for security reasons. When you restore this you only have to enter your credentials and server settings again, system files are not backed up, so bugs will be gone. Only downside is that only MIUI can restore this, so you can't export it to another ROM.

3. Titanium backup comes in handy when migrating to another ROM. Titanium can back up settings, apps and their data. Titanium backup works on all ROM's so you can back up, flash another ROM and restore your apps and their data. Settings are harder to back up, restoring settings is possible between TouchWiz ROM's, moving them from TouchWiz ROM to MIUI or Cyanogen will give loads of FC's. Same goes for system apps and their data.​
