cyanoid v15 issues

Hello,

I'm a total beginner in the topic of custom roms, so please excuse my lack of knowledge about (maybe obvious) things.

[BTW I couldn't find a link to FAQ for cyanoid. Has it been moved?]

Today I:

- rooted my L3 (Superoneclick with a rangeagainstmachine),

- installed Rom Manager and flashed CWM

- backed up my stock system (v10m) with CWM and several apps with TitaniumBackup

- installed my first custom rom: cyanoid v15 (version without SDMerge) using CMW in Recovery mode (a) wipe everything, b) install custom mode from SD card)

So far so good.

I was testing the mod for half a day and here are the problems I have:

1. Lags. Especially the starting of the system is very slow - 30-40 sec of 'cyanoid' flashing on a screen

2. System does not start normally after 'Shutting down'. It's somehow connected to power management, because I can start the system with Power button, when charger is connected. If disconnected, doesn't matter if the battery is 20 or 70% full, the only option is to go to TWRP and then reboot the system. Rebooting option on phone works fine.

3. The battery meter is not working properly. I see information that the battery is 21% full. I connect the charger and in 5 min I have 50% full. I disconnect it and the battery level shows 25%.

4. The system is 'eating up' the battery very quickly. 60% in 4h (!) spent only checking different options in the system (no games, not music, no video)

5. Background process limit set to 3 returns to 'Standard' after rebooting.

6. External SD card - neither visible in TRWN nor in File Manager (cannot browse). What's strange I could move some of my installed apps to SD card and the 'Storage' reads the available / used memory correctly.

7. USB Mass Storage not working. It stops on the information 'You have connected to your computer via USB...." I try 'Turn on USB storage' and nothing happens (USB connection mode MSC checked). Maybe it's related to the problems with external card, because many times when I tried to "Turn on USB storage" there was an information "SD card safe to remove".

8. I had a lot of problem with installing Google Maps. Over and over installation was interrupted with error message "Not enough space" (when I had 60MB of Internal storage left!). I managed to do it in the end in 6th trial. Now I have similar problem with google 'change text-to-speech' app. The Maps navigation cannot work without text-to-speech app :(

Ok, that was my feedback. Now some questions from green user:

1. How do you manage with 157MB of Internal Storage? I updated the apps that came with the rom (Google Play Market, SuperSu, Google Play Music), installed Whatsapp and Titanium Backup, and couldn't do much more. To test Google Maps I had to uninstall Whatsapp! I know I can install SDmerge version, but how people with stock version deal with this problem?

2. Is it normal that the phone with 1000MHz setting gets very hot? I tried the setting and return to 800MHz.

3. Can I restore in cyanoid backups of 'phone contacts', 'SMS' other apps, I made with Titanium in original 2.3.6 system? I tried restoring apps+data for phone contacts and there was some error and later constant message: 'com.android.phone has stopped'. Wiping everything in TWRP helped. On the other hand restoring only 'data' for alarm clock run well.

I'm going to reinstall original e400 rom, make another copy of phone contacts and try SDmerge version. If someone can comment on above issues it would be great.
