If you have doubts you're welcome to try this: Fire up C-ApiSRO, then close it. Then run HTC addicts memory cleaner. Use the "customized processes list" option (right below lvl 3 fundamental purge). You will still see C-ApiSRO in the executing processes list. Look I'm not saying it didn't get the job done. It did. Hands down. It just wasn't the golden goose everyone said it was. I have 0 issues with that XP app exiting. And most of all: It works.

To sum up I'll quote Bones McCoy regarding this app: "It's dead Jim."

Incidently, I tried select radio. It's far from finger friendly and you have to provide your credit card then cancel your subscription to "unlock" it. At least the XM app does provide album art and while it's still far from perfect, I can certainly say he's on the right track. He'll need to add dynamic refreshing of channel line ups as Sirius XM changes it's stations so quickly. He will also need to deal with the channels "vanishing" when you use your finger to scroll. Yes major problems....but I didn't use my credit card. And it works.
Bro, first and foremost, I don't have XM, I have sirius and have never had an issue with C-apisro until Sirius XM made their recent changes which screwed the pooch for any app that I found. I will continue hoping that someguyMMS can get C-apisro working again, as I'm sure many people will as I for one loved it and thought it was the best sirius app out there. However in the meantime I've been using both select radio, yes for free, and also SiriusWM6 and have yet to have an issue with either of them, along with co-workers not having issues with either of them (although through Sirius, not XM). I'm glad you found an app that works for you and hope that it turns into the golden goose you're looking for... I never had an issue with it, both on a VZW Omnia running multiple different ROM's and my current Sprint TP2 currently running MightyROM. Not looking to argue with you or anyone, I personally hope this app comes back around as I think it worked wonderful, simple and got the job done, but if not, there are other options for me that work just as well. And I freaking love your avatar...
