MIUI Isuses, Froyo vs Gingerbread

[Remedy]

Okay, so I've been a flashaholic since I came here
I had SSX 2.1 (on the froyo kernel)
Then went to MIUI (1.7.22, also on the foryo kernel)
then today I noticed there's newer MIUI (on the gingerbread kernel)

BEFORE I did all this (when I was on 1.7.22 MIUI) my data was rockin'
my phone was snappy and sexy, and it was just pretty epic.
But I couldn't help but feel that with an updated ROM of MIUI, I'd be even more bangin.

SBF to .602!

Yeah, no. My data is all jumpy, it took forever to DL the bootstrapper after rooting
Then when I flashed MIUI 1.9.23 (this is on the .602 kernel)
Data hasn't gotten any better, my status bar FC'd once (seriously)

So...if this is a sign that I need to stay off the gingerbread kernel, awesome. I gotcha.

BUT, if I'm going to go back to the restore I made (of MIUI 1.7.22 on the .340 kernel)
Do I also have to .sbf BACK to .340? Or...
The more I think about it, the more I realize and tell myself, yes, I do.

But I'm really hoping there's another way around this, cause my phone was bumpin like no ones business before I decided to upgrade to 1.9.23/.602...

That's odd that 1.9.23 is giving you issues. I'd recommend a new download and refresh before going back to froyo. And yes, you must sbf to 340 before restoring an old kernel backup

Yes, try wiping and reinstalling a new download of the ROM.

I could've sworn I got it from the MIUI website itself...
How does it get any fresher than that? :\
I guess I'll have to google more...

Its not necessarily that you got a wrong file, but could have been a bad download with a bit of corrupted data. So its possible that downloading the file again could fix your issue

Okay...redownloaded the ROM.zip, CWM, wiped, flash, rebooting now...

If this fails I'm gonna pull back to Froyo. But I'll have to figure out how to get better camera/keyboard/music players up on here and rid of these "stock" ones.

*EDIT*
That seemingly failed. Methinks my phone doth hate thy gingerbread...

SO...uh, any idea on how to quickly and painlessly return to the .340?

Is this okay to use coming from .602? Or is my searching in vain and I shoulda start SBF'ing ages ago?

Use 1KDS' .iso to flash back to Froyo.

I've heard of issues with that breaking recovery, use this instead

The computer I use won't recognize the USB...
and I can't burn CD's (don't need to, my phone does music, lol)
So I'll have to sbf...but...tomorrow.
^_^ Thanks for the help, who knows, maybe the ROM will settle and not suck tomorrow?

EDIT: I have about 14 hours to try this before I sbf back to .340 and MIUI 1.7.22. Notes so far: streamed a video (barely), some snappiness seems to have returned, DXF is more responsive, with the theme I have it looks great! I like the camera, too, but I'm lacking the 1% increments (sp?) Battery icon. So...idk yet.

EDIT EDIT: Also not even 1 hr off the handle and I'm down to 90% ;| perhaps I'm too critical on battery...
