Ok my ultimate Droid friends good news on my behalf. Who wants to know how I got 8.0 up and running? Ok so I what I did was once loaded, don't hot that little green android to get started. Hit the four corners, upper left, upper right, lower right, then lower left. Thus bypasses all google sync and goes straight to the phone. I rebooted and all was well. Then synced gmail and rebooted and all was well. Then loaded every app with titanium backup one at a time with reboot and it all worked. Then wiped data on market and restarted market to show all current apps and reboot still worked. So I think I got a fix. Just bypass the initial sync and sync your gmail and titanium upload your apps and reboot and it should work. Can someone else confirm this for me. Good luck
