i would try a different kernel. try the tiamat kernel, they are amazing.
An UrgeTo Dance
The Hero of the Winds
I second that, you may also want to try a clean install of CM7 (or a different ROM if you want)
Is there an easy way to flash a new kernel ? I have kernel manager lite but it doesnt seem to work. Whats step by step procedure to flashing a kernel. I can never seem to flash stuff over even though i place it on my sd card on my pc. And after i place stuff on my sd card ... i go into recovery and look for it under sd card and never see it. Easy " flashing roms/kernels " step by step procedure would help. Please be thourough as i am newby.
so here are the steps on how to download and flash a kernel:
1.download the tiamat kernel or a kernel of your choice.
2.transfer the file over to the root (no folder) sd card. you can put into a folder if you like. just make sure to note where it is.
3.go into recovery and make a nandroid backup
4.wipe dalvik cache and cache
5.select install from sd card and find the file that you moved to the sd card.
6.select the file and reboot after it is done installing.
after that is done i would look into getting setcpu from the market as well.
also please read this:http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/389360-kernels-dummies.html. it has a ton of info on kernels.
you can get most kernels from here:http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/284413-roms-kernels-download-page.html
do you have room on your card?when i put files on my card they always show up on the bottom in recovery. how are you transferring them? in windows you should see that they were copied over by seeing it on the window of your sd card.
ok that is weird. are you on a pc or mac? are the file getting unzipped?
PC ... Im not extracting them or anything. Maybe im overlooking something. Give me step by step directions on where the kernel or rom should be when i look it up in the overclock / recovery menu. Im looking under the sd card files and see all my other stuff... just none of my roms/kernels. I did however flash over " Wimax notifier " yesterday and it worked ... even though i didnt see it under the sd card either on the phone.
so when you select "install .zip from sd card" scroll down. the things at the top are usually folders and towards the bottom are the files. the files should be in alphabetical order. so the tiamat kernel should be toward the bottom of the list.
i used the tiamat sbc kernel and i was getting anywhere from 18-35 hours off charge with moderate to heavy use. of course YMMV.
i thought it was your mileage may vary. at least that is what the urban dictionary says it means. lol
and i would be careful with the kernel manager. i just do not trust them to wipe very well and it could cause problems. just make sure to do a nandroid backup before using it.
i'm not sure where kernel manager saves the file to flash. it might be in a folder on your card. but i'm not sure what the folder is called. never used the app.
it has been so long since i use it that i do not know where, unfortunately. you may want to switch to amon ra2.3 recovery. it is much better and it is easy to switch to. if you need help, let us know. here is the page with instructions you:http://androidforums.com/evo-4g-all-things-root/259446-clockwork-amon-ra-pc36img-files.html
ok so here is how you switch recoveries:
1. download this:PC36IMG_RA_2.3.zip
2.rename it by erasing the "_RA_2.3" in the name so that it is just PC36IMG. do not add a .zip as windows hides extensions and you will end up with the name PC36IMG.zip.zip which will not work.
3.transfer the file to the root of your sd card (not in any folder)
4.power off then press and hold power+vol down
5.hboot should see the file if it is named correctly (PC36IMG) and is in the right place (not in any folder, just the root of the sd card).
6.select yes to update
7. before you reboot make a nandroid backup first.
8.go into recovery and select "backup and restore" and select backup
9. keep the first three checked and also check wimax as well.
10.once a nandroid backup is done reboot
congrats you now have an awesome recovery!
also note that your previous nandroid backups will not work with amon ra. or vice versa.

no worries. let us know if you have issues. i hope that with amon ra you can start flashing kernels.
