Well I'm trying to do all of what you said here since it seems as tho i did skip a very valuable step in the process....but now i'm stuck with the black and red huawei screen and i can't get my phone to boot into recovery mode...it just stays on that screen. Think i'm just going to figure out a way to get back to the 2.1....then update to froyo...and then leave it alone at that...because this is for a lack of a better phrase...completely and mentally ******ed to go through just to have a phone. I've been at this for 4 days and i'm no where close to where the hell i was after i updated it from 2.1 to 2.2....screw it...I don't see the need/reason to continue with this...Just there has to be a set tutorial...let people know..."this is how you do it" and put it all out there..don't skip steps...make sure everyones using the same build, rom, programs, etc etc,...because i don't know weather the hell to use amon ra or rom manager or what...this shit did nothing but waste time and cause confusion. Complete waste. Thanks for the advice and your time tho...But i wouldn't recommend anyone trying to bother doing anything to these otherwise piece of shit low end android phones....I would just wait for the Glory and leave it stock. Eff it.
I had a heck of a time at first, too. Now I realize most of my boot lockups were due to having the faster overclocked CM7 versions on my lazy droid. I've flashed a ton of times now, and I usually do it using tokenpoke's guide. Try it just like he says, but use BobZ's 672 MHz(lazy Ascend's) version with the gapps that are also on that page (scroll down, you'll see them in the Download Links section.)
I make sure to backup all my stuff with Titanium Backup first. I have issues trying to restore system data, but the batch restore for apps saves a ton of time.
About half the time, if I do get locked-up trying a higher-overclocked build, I can still get it to run by letting it sit on the boot screen a few minutes, then holding the power button once or twice for a couple seconds. Sometimes it reboots and works, sometimes it doesn't. But the lazy Ascend build SHOULD work for anyone. I have one of the worst ones, and I can still do it.
Just have patience. Once you figure out what you're doing, it gets easier fast. It's not a bad phone. It's low end, but it works great for what it is.
. Keep it as clean and simple as possible
I use 3 home screens and got like 7 widgets total. One more thing...since you are using apps on your SD card then the type of SD card you have matters bunches. I would prefer a class10 but class6 will do. If you ave a class2 sd card that puppy is like in slow motion. =) all in all check your internel memory, your ram, and your sd card. And try to keep it as free as possible. Oh and try the Overclock settings this can help too! Its under x Settings>CyanModSettings>Performance>CpuSettings...I like the OnDemand Governor the Min set to 245 then on your Max this can be tricky at times..try each setting to make sure it works for your ascend. Go up one at a time Mine is set to 710 and works like a charm but some cant handle that if you set yours to 710 and it works then click the box that says set on boot and your now Overclocked! If you are in CM7 you are using the ADW launcher i think that thing is laggy period. Someone Shoulda created a LauncherPro build.Z, 
. I am gonna try SD boost and see if things improve. You give some good suggestions, thanks that's really cool. I wanted to try a different build, but I don't think my phone can handle 710. I have Bobz's cm7 rc1 for lazy ascends it only overclocks to 679. I really like this build, everything works well, no issues. I don't have a lot of apps running in the background, my free ram is around like 60mb and like 30mb used. My internal is like 17mb used and 150mb free and app2sd is like 479 MB with 388mb free
