I recently flashed a Sprint BB 8330m to Cricket. A bit of a hassle, but I got it working (for the most part). I upgraded to the $55 plan, had my account refreshed, and now I have SMS, MMS, Phone, and the BB browser has access to the internet. Heck, the cricket store even listed the phone as a 'BlackBerry 8530 cricket device'.

But for some reason (that I can't figure out) no apps that I've installed will work.
I've tried WeatherEye, BBweather, Opera mini browser 5 and 4.2 (v4.2 was closest to working).
I do not even see any sort of email app on the phone or BB Maps. Shouldn't these be pre-loaded? Does this have something to do with my Service Books?

Also, up by the signal strength it only says 1x.
What should it say?
