The power of The Search may have paid off. I said I punted on the Album issue but I couldnt let it go. I dont know what album version is currently cooked in but I found Album 3.0 ported for VGA from the Diamond2.
I ran the cab, with Sense OFF, then re-enabled Sense. I HAVE NOT TESTED THIS FULLY. I can say it appears stable!!! No crashes as I have jumped in/out of a dozen pics and videos. Wanted to post this up so more people can test it out.

Please post back your findings.
EDIT: I see jdm is on it too, i looked at the zip and saw xml files, am waiting for jdm to clarify what that zip is all about.
EDIT2: If you have trouble installing, try this:
Turn off Sense, Soft reset, run the cab. It should go. My guess is the old Album (or another program) was running in the background preventing the first install . You could look in Task Manager and try to see what is running, but the SR is the easy way out
