Most of these differences are not really justified anymore. The<br>
exceptions (themes,bitmaps,...) need to be handled in a controlled<br>

Well ... I am one of those users caught a bit by doing an "apt-get
upgrade" (more specifically I took the Red Pill and upgraded some core
packages) and expecting it to "do the right thing". I didn't get the
constant rebooting but I am experiencing random application crashes
now.
<br>
<br>
"The right thing" that I was expecting was:<br>
- Upgrade core packages with newer more stable more up to date packages
with possible security fixes and functionality fixes but no great leaps
in versions<br>
- any unstable, in-development packages for the next version of the OS
would be in a separate repository component that would need to be
specificially enabled<br>
- once a new stable branch was developed, I could use apt-get upgrade
to upgrade my 770 to it after changing the repository info over
<br>
<br>
I understand now that the repositories are not arranged that way for
the 770 ... I just wish they were.<br>
I also have to figure out which packages to downgrade in order for my
770 to become stable again. Maybe a reflash is the simplest way.

<tt>Hi,<br>
<br>
I am not sure if this would help in your case but I have upgraded</tt> <tt>my
N770 to use fixed gst-plugins-farsight package from
repository.maemo.org (since I used 'apt-get upgrade', then ran into a
reboot cycle, then set the flag 'no-lifeguard-reset' to get rid of
this) and now audio and video players can play the files again and
device does not reboot even when in production mode (with cleared flag)<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
