Can anyone get mobile shell to load from the ExtRom?

On, installing from the ExtRom, I have tried over and over. Really not sure why it wouldn't work, but it doesn't. It will not populate the "Today Tab" icons and it will not show the basic folder icons in the spb menu. I know it is not the cab since it will install fine when run from the storage card.

Jeff, out of curiosity, where do you have it listed in your config.txt? Just checking to see if it matters.

It's the very first cab I install. And I would so love to see this as an OEM.

Interestingly, one of the key benefits listed in the reviewer's guide for Mobile Shell is that it's "built for ROM" and they tout how easy it is for OEMs to build it into their phones. Hmm...
