Reason I say this is that I have not experienced any of these problems at all using the Dev Team JB. I've done it twice now, the 2nd was to upgrade my BB, and in both cases it was smooth sailing.

I guarantee you've had some of these problems. For starters the whole need to use BossTool to immediately move Applications off of the system partition is due to an error in the dev team's jb. It has been corrected in some versions out there but that only leads to more confusion. This was never an issue with Nate's.

The timezone issue you won't see right away, especially if you use network time. But you probably have that problem too. See here:

And you more than likely have the Terminal issue, as to my knowledge that hasn't been fixed yet.

Which brings me to another point: there are now at least 4 versions of the "official" dev team jb out there floating around. This is absurd, IMO. Nate has updated his several times now too.

So now we have to decide, not only what jb to use, but which version. Of course we can't decide which version since the various releases don't tell you enough to be able to tell.

I gotta say this 1.1.3 jb fiasco has caused me to question whether I should even bother with it anymore. I firmly believe they should have let Nate's version stand, and support it. Instead the kids--and I am sorry but that is what they act like--decided to split off with their own and now we have God-knows how many versions out there, each with their own issues.

Meanwhile none of them let me use the one 1.1.3 feature I cared about: movie rentals.

I'm seriously considering going back to 1.1.2, or even stock 1.1.3, until a true 1.1.3 jb appears. Since starting this thread I've had numerous other issues arise (like having my ringtones and music consistently wiped out).
