I've honestly never come across anyone reporting this kind of thing, so I figured I'd recommend the flashdance in case the corruption came from a bad flash - I know more about how storage card encryption can cause some problems, but I don't know exactly why this ROM would cause issues over another, unless the base builds are different. I'm not familiar with Juicy's ROM...what version of manila is it, and what build of windows mobile?

In the meantime, maybe someone else can chime in. If I think of anything I'll PM you. ...feel free to let me know if you work it out as well, I'm def curious.

EDIT: I looked at the Juicy thread...it's an older build, so I'm sure that has something to do with the conflict. On the first post in this thread, you'll see a link to some of NRGs older ROMs. If you're curious to figure this out, you might flash one if his older ROMs with the same build numbers...or maybe one of the new 2.1 Manila ROMs to see if that helps/fixes the problem. It's possible it worked on Juicy's bcause it was Manila 2.1. Hope it works out.
