Root To mod or not to mod?

[SavageSpider]

I just recently flashed my phone to CM7 but i have noticed some issues with it.

1. The antenna seems to be weaker.

2. The phone acts cheap, for example i can have my wifi hotspot turned on but when i get a phone call i'll answer and it keeps ringing.

3. I was sent two text messages last night at around seven but the time stamp on them said 6 am this morning.

4. My google voice no longer works on my phone.

I like the fact that i have rooted my phone, and now i can access my system and customize, i even turned the S off so i can't loose my root privileges, but was it worth it? I lost some of the functionality and i replaced it with a mod that feels like its ready to fail me. CM7 has some really cool functionality and with as many downloads as it has i would assume people love it, so i guess my question is did i do it all wrong or did i just choose the wrong MOD to load?

Which exact version of CM7 did you install. Feel free to through a link up. If you installed an early build, that could be your problem.

I actually got CM7 from the ROM manager app I downloaded.
CM 7.1.0

Sounds like a bad install, I'd do a complete wipe and reflash. Do not use rom manager to install ROMs, it causes too many problems. Manually boot into recovery and install the rom from there.

Thanks for the advice, I just recently loaded abduction ICS and I have to say I'm pretty happy with it. I think this one runs smoother because I wiped and installed from the SD.
