wow these problems are curious.
it would help for everyone to include their
rom/kernel. I use dgalert for sms notify.
I moved all apps to /system/app
I use stock overclocked w/picasticks kernel and
my phone boots and is ready to go in 30 sec.
I have no issues whatsoever.
Installed & removed busy box/ rom manager(fix permisions)
also copied su to sbin so root checker says everything
is spiffy

I noticd Xiona whatvr kernel shows compatability
issues on stock roms prolly others too when I tested it.
I see no reason for any Roms I just put Go launcher EX
and removed the dafult launcher apk.
I like not being linked to a google acct. I downlod apk's online
