Root I'm baack! SD card issues fixed, phone still freezes though :(

This is paranormal (with you being from Birmingham). Lol. I'm in, what Carol Vorderman referred to as, the leafy suburb of Harborne.
 
Yeah under clocking can be bad cause you processor is starting from a lower hertz in idle then working up to where you put the maximum is at.It's like taking something out of the freezer then throwing it straight into the fire.You need the min. and max. to be not too far apart.480 min/786 max are good numbers.

Yes, I had followed Sammyz directions for OC'ing then decided to reverse that so that I could see if the problem had been fixed by a previous solution. No point confusing things eh? Remember, I am blonde....
 
fix_permissions does just that, it corrects FC's caused by apps with improper permissions for your particular system/ROM, UI. Example:It might change an apps permission from rwx--x--x to rwxr-xr-x
If you ever have force closure problems in the future try ^.

The best battery life and performance for most Gingerbread and ICS ROM's can be found at 480MHz min (the min is where the phone idles so you don't want to go over this, just set it and forget it) and 768Mhz max. Some phones the best max setting might be 748MHz, others it might be 787MHz. All V's are not created equal due to variations (flaws) in the manufacturing process.

The easiest way to tell where your phones sweet spot is is to start at 748MHz and move the CPU speed up one setting at a time (opening up the gallery, close the gallery each time you move the setting up). When the phone reboots on it's own or the gallery locks up the screen (pull battery and reboot), set the max down two settings from that. Make sure while doing this that the "set at boot" box is not checked.

Interactive X is the best Governor setting for battery life and performance.
 
As far as overclocking in and of itself goes, there's really no reason to do it unless you're gaming.. or are just a geek (like most of us) and like tweaking your phone. ;) As with desktop computers that you OC, this does eventually cause some slow wear and tare on the phone.

For every day normal use, the phone will run just fine with the rom devs default OC settings.
 
I did fix permissions and it has been pukka since then! :) I'm a very happy chicken!
Curiosity has gotten the better of me> what exactly does pukka mean and what is it derived from? I take it it's a good thing, hence the part about being a happy chicken.
 
It's a Hindi word used as an expression of quality in UK. It literally means 'cooked', but when used in slang, it gives emphasis on the thing it describes, It means everything is okay, finished, complete.

yes, it's a very good thing :)

I have lived here in NY for 10 yrs now but I still go home once a year and I watch bbc online using a uk server ;) so I haven't lost my terminology!
 
Try going into settings-Cyanogenmod settings- display and uncheck rotation animations. For some reason this setting has been causing freezing on unlock.

I'm also intermittently experiencing this freezing issue.

I've tried repeatedly to uncheck the "rotation animations" box, but the unchecking never "sticks." There is a notation that changing this setting requires a reboot; I've tried both unchecking the box, exiting out of the Cyanogenmod settings, and rebooting, and unchecking the box and immediately long-pressing the power button to bring up the "phone options" screen and rebooting. No matter what, if I go back to the Display page, the "rotation animations" box is checked.

What am I doing wrong?

Settings don't stick? Go to terminal emulator app and type:
su
fix_permissions
reboot
