Sure there is:

Edit:
I have another way how not to do this:
So this is still a fresh installation and
  1. I installed the root-package and vim
  2. opened terminal
  3. searched for the packages with optify in their name (there were 3)
  4. installed maemo-optify-runonce and pymaemo-optify them (maemo-optify wasn't installable due to a missing dependency to dpkg-dev if I remember correctly)
  5. reboot
Trying to reinstall maemo-optify-runonce always gives me a reboot during the installation. It should not be necessary as it is used, as the name suggests, only once, on the first boot after flashing. But strangely, CSSU depends on it so it is not recommended to remove it, at least not before the upgrade to CSSU.

Your missing fonts, icons and most likely sounds and themes too, are - or at least should be - in optfs. So it looks like your optfs is corrupt or missing. Your small root space also suggests that no optification took place, possibly for the same reason (missing or corrupt optfs partition).

When you say you've reflashed, do you mean just root or the MMC ("vanilla") as well? Did it succeed?
