If you are having a problem that no one else seems to be reporting, such as crashing of the weather tab, the first thing you want to do is to look at things you are installing to see if any of them might be related. In the example above, you have already done this and identified that you are installing a cab that directly effects the item you are having trouble with.

However, the next step in the troubleshooting is to actually test it to see if you can fix the problem on your own. The way you would do this is the hard reset and then NOT install the item that might be affecting your weather tab.

Here is another tip I have for some of you new guys that are trying this rom, or in fact, any other rom, for the first time. The items you are installing on this rom will not all be necessary, and in fact, may break things if you install them all on another rom. That's why I highly recommend that you DON'T do an auto-install with Sashimi or whatever method you use the first time you are trying a new rom. Install your items manually to find out which ones you want to keep, and which ones don't work on the new rom. Only set up an autoinstall once you find a rom you want to stick with.

Rom hopping is fine... I used to do it a bit myself... it's fun to try them all out... however, lump installing all the same stuff on every rom you try and expecting it to all work is a party foul.
Appreciate the response.

I was busy setting up my email and such, but I did uninstall the Weather Database cab and the Weather tab is functioning normally now.

Anybody have an updated Weather Database cab that they know works on BB 2.8?
