I just happened to reflash my device 24 hours ago to test CSSU and hostmode-gui on kernel-power-flasher. So I installed everything after reflashing and found that mscim didn't work on yappari again (remember me, Scorpius?). This had happened before with some other apps that I wanted to try (e.g. jspeed, cell-modem-ui, etc), even with mscim-bridge-client-qt4 installed. In order for me to use mscim on yappari, I have to choose not to use those apps, which is fine as they are not critical. So now I'm reflashing again and installing yappari first, then installing other apps one by one to find out which app is crashing mscim/yappari (and I have to reboot after installing each app!). I hope it's not one of CSSU, hostmode-gui or kernel-power-flasher because I really like to have them.

Anyway, the above is just a side story. The following is what I'd like to report.

Since I just reflashed my device, I installed afresh the 0.0.17 deb instead of upgrading from 0.0.16. After installing 0.0.17, I could not register. The progress bar just kept going for 2 minutes, before the main window showed up with the message "The verification SMS was never received. Please try later." showing in the status area. No logs or yappari.conf were created. So I uninstalled 0.0.17, installed 0.0.16, registered, and upgraded to 0.0.17. And things seem to work fine so far.
