Hmm ok. I'll just wipe system, cache, and davlik and factory reset and try again. Thanks!
EDIT: I just want to say this is an amazing ROM. I HATE Sense but couldn't stand the issues on AOSP Roms with the reboots. This is flawless for me. Thanks again.
Roll tribe is correct, it should not take 30 min. But instead of sitting and watching and counting down 8 min, maybe just leave it be for a little while and come back after 30 min, then you will know if it is not working vs just taking longer than expected.
