I had that same experience. It was more noticeable on the second reset, right after it flashed and went through all the customizations. And so I did a soft reset, believing it was frozen and tried again. And again it seemed to get stuck there for an eternity. Just as I was about the try again, it completed.

Kinda odd it would be so slow in installing that particular app. I also noticed when when it first comes on with the black screen, there's a white square in the upper left hand corner. That and the freezing made me think I had damaged the phone after I tripped on the ActiveSync cable and yanked the phone to the wooden floor, a drop of about 20 inches. Not a scratch on the phone. It seems to have a tougher shell than the Mogul.

Speaking of which, anyone out there using a skin on their phone? Anyone worth recommending?

It's cause the new omniano cab is HUGE. It's 8mb zipped, about 18 mb unzipped. (point of reference, most apps are a few hundred kb, like .5mb; weatherpanel is big and its like 2.5 mb

Kev maybe this should be left out in future versions? Not only would it speed up the install it would free up some memory as well. Just let the user download and install if wanted? just another of my 2 cents

either way, you'll still be my favorite chef

I didn't realize the update was such a large file. makes perfect sense why it would hang like that. I still think it's a cool app but given that the flute and guitar aren't functioning, it does seem like a lot of memory for half an app.

Thanks for the recommendations above with the radio. I went ahead and flashed it to Sprint v1.11. Can't say I've noticed a huge difference so far but I'll monitor it. My one big beef with Sprint is that in the 10 plus years I've been with them, while living here, reception from the tower has never significantly improved. Also causes a drain on my battery since the phone is always trying to lock in a signal. Maybe after I take a break from flashing I'll try the Telos radio.

I was already starting to lean that way. It is huge. I think the sounds files are waaay to big. Maybe I can just compress them... hrrm. Either way the next release will have some sort of change regarding Omniano.

I was playing with building my ROM for the Diamond and Omniano was the first to go. Needless to say with the size of this ROM, it didn't go well.

KK thanks for the rom again! I was using spb mobile shell then decided to look for a tf3d roms again and seen this...so far it's great. Looks like I'll be using tf3d again. I liked many other roms, but I'm hooked on this one. Thanks again KK and thanks to all ppcgeeks!

I think you meant "please remove the band app" or "my vote would be to remove that band app".

I really don't like demands, they rub me the wrong way.
