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 :) BillK _______________________________________________ Shr-User mailing list [email protected] http://lists.shr-project.org/mailman/listinfo/shr-user
