Did you wipe data and cache prior to installing?

After You allow your battery to charge; install cyanogen 5.0.5.7 as stated in the guide and follow the steps. Make sure you wipe data and cache this time.

If you choose to install something other then cyanogen the method is also in the guide.

he was running droid mod 1.0 my fault i forgot to tell him to wipe. i thought he knew. if you go from a 2.0.1 rom to a 2.1 rom you have to wipe/data. sorry.

i didnt know it was a 2.1 rom i got it installed but it ran super slow slower then when my phone was stock so i went back to droid mod

It probably seemed a little slow because CM is not overclocked. You have to install an OC kernel after the ROM.

why would it be slower than stock though it took about 5 - 10 minutes for me to be able to move to another screen

Did you by change install a theme? If so, did you select the compatible theme?

After you wipe data/cache and install, reboot a few times. I have no idea why this works for me, but it has been reported by others as well.
