well, the issues u r having may just be a bad download or improper flash. i have run opera as my main browser on this kernel with no issues, and my DRAndroid ROM has adw as the default launcher if i remember right, and no issues there either. u might just want to try backing up ur apps and switching over to the DRAndroid rom. which rom r u currently using? and is there any reason u havent pushed it past 600mhz?
