Root CM7 Reboot Under Heavy Stress?

Wow my entire setup? Ok, well here goes.

First and foremost, my rom of choice is Deck 1.3d. I'm a bit of a Deck fanboy, with good reason. His roms are great. Follow him @kushdeck on twitter. Here is a direct download link to the rom: Dev-Host.org - The Ultimate Free File Hosting / File Sharing Service

Next is the gapps, I just use the regular gapps on Goo-inside.me Downloads - Browsing gapps

For kernels, I always run Tiamat 3.3.7 sbc. It has never given me any issues. Great battery life. HTC Evo 4G

Last flashing item is the GPS Fix with the Qualcomm 1.1 drivers. Makes the AOSP GPS lock like a charm. [FIX][AOSP][MIUI] All GPS fixes! - xda-developers

Now for my actual setup, you would need the following
FancyWidget Pro
GoWeather (started using this very recently)
GoLauncher EX (although ADW EX is nice too)
Decked out Blues (Market theme, paid...very nice)

I also exclusively use the Sony Sketch theme. You can get a flashable zip file in this thread 300 Flashable Font Packs - Change your system fonts the easy way! - xda-developers

I haven't messed with it, but apparently you can also change your system font with ROM toolbox, which is a great free app. If you're using a kernel that supports the Smartass or InteractiveX governor, you can use this too, but with AOSP, you don't need to because it's baked into the ROM most of the time.

For widgets, I think the GoWidgets are great and are better than the Sense widgets in many ways. If you like ADW or LauncherPro, then Android Pro Widgets is pretty decent too. I keep my setup pretty simple though. Three homescreens is all I need.

And with everything above said, I've been running MikG 3.0 for the past week just because it's a damn good rom. But I usually switch back and forth every two weeks just for a change of pace. These two ROMs are definitely my sweet spot.

Here is how to solve all your problems.

1) and this is a 100% must. Get Amon RA 2.3. Link is in my signature. If you're messing around with Clockwork you're asking for trouble. Amon RA 2.3 works every time, 100% of the time. It is a flawless recovery and you should be running it on your Evo if you aren't already.

1a) Make sure you're not using ROM Manager and you do all the below steps while in recovery. ROM Manager has been proven to be buggy. Stay away.

2) Every time you flash a rom, you need to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. One time only. Like I said, with Amon RA, it works the first time. No need to wipe anything multiple times.

3) For good measure, download Calkulin's format all zip file and flash this too

4) Now you're ready to flash a rom. Did you check the md5 to ensure it's a good download? If not, be sure to do that as well.

5) Now flash your rom, flash your gapps and flash your kernel (if you want...the kernel is optional)

6) Reboot. Restoring anything with Titanium? Only restore user apps (green colored text). Do NOT restore any system data (red colored text).

This should solve all of your problems. And yes, I suggest Deck 1.3d over any build of CM7. It's flawless, everything works. Yes, Deck 1.3d is technically a beta, but ask anyone over in the XDA thread (or me) and we are all pretty much in agreement that it's superior to the "stable" build. Trust me on this one. The link for that is in my sig too, just scroll down to the download links and you should be able to find it in there. If you have any trouble, I can shoot you the direct link.

Alright Jack, err Mizzou, haha I'm going to listen to you and try this setup. I will report back in a few days hopefully it works as badass as you say it does;)
 
Personally, I wipe everything except SD card 2-3 times and then flash superwipe. Theres nothing wrong with wiping everything multiple times, but if you miss something all your going to have is FC's.

This is especially important when going from sense to AOSP or back

This should only be flashed when installing a new rom. It will wipe everything except sd card. so if you flashed it your data folder is gone.

Ok so far no reboots or anything, very fast rom and much better overall. Only problem right now is weak Wifi. Before I had perfect reception to my home Wifi connection, now it goes back and forth between 3g and Wifi. Any ideas?
 
You can try updating to the latest radios. I just did and it improved my signal overall, but I dunno how if works for wifi though.
 
You could always try Deck's 1.3 stable. My wifi seems to work fine on 1.3d though, not sure why it would change at all.
 
Thanks guys this rom has been flawless all day no reboots at all! Never flashed a radio before but should I flash the latest radio? Just PC36IMG through fastboot correct?

I don't think so, that's for recovery. You'll want the updated PRLs and flash in recovery. I would link them but I dunno how...

Can anyone teach me how to link stuff?
 
Thanks, you have inspired me! gonna give it a try!

When you quote or select quick response the menu should have a globe with a chain icon. Use that to add a link. You will need to copy and paste into the window that pops up.

And there is a PC36IMG file floating around with the radios as well. In the phone now so can't link it. The flashable version is easier.

Ok cool, not to hijack the thread but I just find the flashable radio zip and wipe dalvik and cache first then flash?

And since update PRL isn't in the options any more how do I do that in Decks?
