I went back to Cm7 the other day and about 9 times now it has rebooted whenever I run intensive apps (maps, nav, etc).
Any suggestions?
yep had that happen to me. about a year ago. it got so bad that i had to flash to a different rom and i was still getting the reboots. so i unrooted it and the same thing happened. finally i took it in and had sprint replace the phone with a refurbished one. they said it was a known hardware issue.

thanx justsomedude,
try those suggestions first. your question just brought back those memories. hopefully those will work. if not then try and and flash another rom and see.

Try lowering the overclock. My phone starts randomly rebooting if I overclock any more than 1075 (every phone is different).
Also, instead of superwipe next time you flash, just manually wipe everything except sd in amon ra three times. I've been seeing a lot of advice lately from knowledgeable folks like jade over at themikmik that the superwipes are rarely enough...
And yes, fixing permissions is always a good idea on a new Rom flash, especially if you restored from titanium or mybackup root.

well boot times will vary from rom to rom and will always take longer if you wipe dalvik cache and cache as the rom needs to build up dalvik cache as it boots up.

4 min boot time is very long, even with wiping dalvik mine has never taken more than 2 min. I would start fresh and do a full wipe and flash vr_superwipe 2x and then flash your rom.

Ok I wiped everything manually (except sd) 3 times, and ran superwipe 3 times, reflashed the rom & kernel, fixed permissions and setcpu under 1ghz on smartassV2...
Still having to deal with FCs rampant and reboots under moderate stress. This may be why I left CM7 to begin with as I don't remember any of these issues iin mik3.0...
Any other suggestions before I flash my mik nandroid?
ok I decided to uninstall setcpu just to see if it made any difference, and used the baked in performance tweak. Not only do I think it solved my problem but it also bumped up my QS score by almost 300 points.

JMO Quadrant isn't any good and wouldn't make a decision of that. My scores can jump from 4400 to 3200 and back without changing anything(3vo). A mod here once told me #EarlyMon "friends don't let friends run quadrant". LOL and I stick by it. Your best bet would be to use cfbench or antutu. Also try using system tuner instead of set cpu. It won't interfere with most of the baked in OC settings. Again these are JMO hope it helps.

+1
EarlyMon knows his business.
Also I found a post by aamikam on quadrant scores, compliments of nick1313.
Ok it did it again last night... I opened maps and did a search, as soon as my results came up the phone rebooted. I've wiped thoroughly, reflashed the rom and kernel, and set the overclock below 1ghz.
So do you suggest another wipe and flashing a previous version of the Tiamat + SBC? Or should I just try the baked in kernel (really want the Tiamat though)
Edit* Ok I wiped and flashed the previous version of this Tiamat+SBC and right off I'm slogging through FCs and then bam, the phone reboots. Gonna Try another wipe and reinstall with baked in kernel, and then it's goodbye CM7 for good this time.

You know, I loaded this ROM one time, same deal, constant reboots and freezes, and I am a fanatic about wiping...I did load destroyer, it was OK, but I like my sense...just sayin

I would go with deck 1.3d. It's rock solid and imho the best aosp room out there.
With that said, my first Evo started rebooting every now and again and eventually got worse to the point where I had to replace it. Ocn had the same problem. Your issue might not be the same as what I had but I just thought I'd throw it out there.
Back to Mik3.0 after what happened this am... Was sitting in class, with silent mode on, and the phone kept rigging and making noise for text messages. Even after I made sure it was on silent, had to turn it off during class, but it was embarassing.
I had cm7 for months on my Evo then all of a sudden I was getting force closes just like the OP had. I ended up breaking that evo and sprint sent me a new Evo 3d. I've since sold the 3D and now back to a newish Evo. I'm running CM7 right now and the 4.1.0 tiamat SBC and still getting force closes in maps and facebook etc. I just uninstalled Setcpu to see if that makes a difference. Is the Deck CM7 any better?
I don't like the sense roms since none can approach the battery life I get with AOSP... but I also dont like FCs haha
1) and this is a 100% must. Get Amon RA 2.3. Link is in my signature. If you're messing around with Clockwork you're asking for trouble. Amon RA 2.3 works every time, 100% of the time. It is a flawless recovery and you should be running it on your Evo if you aren't already.
1a) Make sure you're not using ROM Manager and you do all the below steps while in recovery. ROM Manager has been proven to be buggy. Stay away.
2) Every time you flash a rom, you need to wipe data/factory reset, wipe cache and wipe dalvik cache. One time only. Like I said, with Amon RA, it works the first time. No need to wipe anything multiple times.
3) For good measure, download Calkulin's format all zip file and flash this too http://db.tt/emsg8Z8P
4) Now you're ready to flash a rom. Did you check the md5 to ensure it's a good download? If not, be sure to do that as well.
5) Now flash your rom, flash your gapps and flash your kernel (if you want...the kernel is optional)
6) Reboot. Restoring anything with Titanium? Only restore user apps (green colored text). Do NOT restore any system data (red colored text).
This should solve all of your problems. And yes, I suggest Deck 1.3d over any build of CM7. It's flawless, everything works. Yes, Deck 1.3d is technically a beta, but ask anyone over in the XDA thread (or me) and we are all pretty much in agreement that it's superior to the "stable" build. Trust me on this one. The link for that is in my sig too, just scroll down to the download links and you should be able to find it in there. If you have any trouble, I can shoot you the direct link.

Now for my actual setup, you would need the following
FancyWidget Pro
GoWeather (started using this very recently)
GoLauncher EX (although ADW EX is nice too)
Decked out Blues (Market theme, paid...very nice)
I haven't messed with it, but apparently you can also change your system font with ROM toolbox, which is a great free app. If you're using a kernel that supports the Smartass or InteractiveX governor, you can use this too, but with AOSP, you don't need to because it's baked into the ROM most of the time.
For widgets, I think the GoWidgets are great and are better than the Sense widgets in many ways. If you like ADW or LauncherPro, then Android Pro Widgets is pretty decent too. I keep my setup pretty simple though. Three homescreens is all I need.
And with everything above said, I've been running MikG 3.0 for the past week just because it's a damn good rom. But I usually switch back and forth every two weeks just for a change of pace. These two ROMs are definitely my sweet spot.

Alright Jack, err Mizzou, haha I'm going to listen to you and try this setup. I will report back in a few days hopefully it works as badass as you say it does
Personally, I wipe everything except SD card 2-3 times and then flash superwipe. Theres nothing wrong with wiping everything multiple times, but if you miss something all your going to have is FC's.
This is especially important when going from sense to AOSP or back

What exactly is this Caulkins file? I remember installing it once, but I don't know what it is? Anyway, I flashed it again, and not I can't get past hboot..... HELP!

This should only be flashed when installing a new rom. It will wipe everything except sd card. so if you flashed it your data folder is gone.

It forgot to mention I use the carodope tweaks. No scripts for me.

Ok so far no reboots or anything, very fast rom and much better overall. Only problem right now is weak Wifi. Before I had perfect reception to my home Wifi connection, now it goes back and forth between 3g and Wifi. Any ideas?
Thanks guys this rom has been flawless all day no reboots at all! Never flashed a radio before but should I flash the latest radio? Just PC36IMG through fastboot correct?

I don't think so, that's for recovery. You'll want the updated PRLs and flash in recovery. I would link them but I dunno how...

FancyWidget Pro
GoWeather (started using this very recently)
GoLauncher EX (although ADW EX is nice too)

Can anyone teach me how to link stuff?
When you quote or select quick response the menu should have a globe with a chain icon. Use that to add a link. You will need to copy and paste into the window that pops up.
And there is a PC36IMG file floating around with the radios as well. In the phone now so can't link it. The flashable version is easier.
