ok, that was a bit of a disaster. the fact that it wasn't optified caught me out.

i had fennec 12 installed and that wasn't so bad.

my question is: is there anyway to get an optified version of 17(or 18 ) without going the cssu/thumb2 route. i've just put too much effort in to my phone at this point to blatently risk a reflash to back something out.
