Root High Android System Usage

My battery life has been draining very quickly today, so I've been monitoring my battery usage and have noticed a 70% Android System drain.

Is this normal? What can I do to fix this?

I am using CM7 and Macos Theme.

for CM7 it is a known issue. you are probably seeing cell standby also way up there.
under normal usage i usually have display taking up about 60% of my battery. with CM7 it is around 40% with the rest being taken up by cell standby, android system, Bluetooth and wifi.

its normal, a new kernal MAY fix it, but didn't for me. just something you have to deal with on CM7. i have yet to try any other AOSP ROM, but they may not have that issue.

Do certain themes use more battery? I've run this theme for a few days now but haven't noticed an unusual drain until now. Certain days seems to have a heavier drain than others.

I wonder if this will be fixed when the full stable CM7 version is released. Does anyone know when that will happen?
 
Battery seems the same, if not better than sense ROM's. Basically cell standby and android system are taking the place of display when its showing battery usage.

Sometimes my display usage is like 4-5th on the list in single digit usage. I wouldn't worry, its not draining your battery any faster.
