i would suggest u just reboot to recovery, wipe cache and data one more
time, and reinstall the CyanogenMod.

Thanks Mike and SDI, I have another question. I am loving cyanogen for sure and have installed SetCPU and process manager and power manager but now it seems I can not DL from the market. It says it is but in never DL's just sits there saying Down loading. I have rebooted, canceled the DL and tried again to no avail and it does it for EVERY program I try, plus my wifes Droid DLs fine in the same room and I have 3g and 5 bars! Do you guys have any ideas? I do not want to go back to stock and I only feel comfortable with Cyanogen. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I can live with a few bugs but this bug is huge, hell I am not even sure it's Cyan but I am in the dark here! Thanks

Well it wont be overclocked. You'll likely have to root again and overclock if you want it to be faster. We'll see what kind of bugs they fix though. Overall, there shoudl be some performance improvement.

So I have followed this for weeks and weeks now site after site now its time. . A question that I have but have not seen a answer to is will the droid be faster with the OTA update? I know the ROMS will make it faster but what about the OTA is that even possible. The only reason I ask is because I updated Google maps to 4.1.0 and it is slower then before. Mostly the rendering. You cant slide across the screen with the map anymore its choppy and wants to load. Pinch zooming is not very good either choppy to… Any idea. I don't have that many apps only 15 or so compared to many other people.

Is anyone else entirely disappointed with the camera on their Droid, or does it just happen to be mine? In a dim lit room, (with a light on!!) at times my camera is black. Whats most annoying is that as the camera loads, the picture is plenty bright, and then shortly after dims to black, and the focusing in low light is awful. This to me seems like a software issue rather than hardware flaw. In the daylight the 5 MP is beautiful, but in lower lit areas I'd rather take a picture with my 1.5 MP Palm Treo PDA Smartphone now about 5 years old. LOL. (Hey it was one of the first touch-screen web-browsing phones :>) Otherwise DROID ROCKS!!! Any feedback or users who have had a similar issue?

Thank You!! This has had to be the most frustrating part. For awhile I thought it occurred from some third party app I installed, and didn't know which. Nothing worse than answering a phone and not being able to hear without hitting the speaker phone. I use my headset jack as a direct in to my car speakers while driving for handsfree use. By the time I figured out this was the cause, out comes the update days later. So happy to hear I shouldn't have to deal with this issue any longer!
