I vote for third - re-flashing and trying to get a working phone takes a
quite a long time already if you add those "essential" apps and
configuration changes that turn the FR from a brick into something
useful.

choice!

Make it the last item on the install list, and give 1, 2 or 3 as options
- and a help description to make the user aware that he/she may be
spending many hours without sleep or a phone until its finished.

Let the user decide ... power to the user :)
