Oh, yeah, the one problem I don't understand is when I try to edit s2u2 settings, pop-up says "the file 's2us' cannot opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found...." Why is that, and how do I make it work without these things. Sometimes s2u2 keeps the changes anyway, and other times it just dies 'till I restart it. I get similar pop-ups for other programs, can't remember which right now. Note to self, make a list.
When I built the ruu in BuildOS, I stayed away from items identified as Trial, or otherwise identified/known to require purchase. Still, some of the other software keeps asking for registration. I don't want or need programs on my phone that I can't use, and I wouldn't have installed them had I known.
Going to give oemizer a shot, and build another ruu, unless fixes for these niggling annoyances miraculously appear.
Thanks to everyone for your excellent input, suggestions, and otherwise useful postings! I've read sooooo much, I can't keep track of all of it. If only someone could make a link list of posts in this thread referencing specific items, things would be soooo much easier to find. The search feature of this forum leaves something to be desired, and that's it.
