According to the play store statistics, Gforth runs on more than 500 
devices, and the worst thing I heard before is "you need to start Gforth 
twice to get it to run".

However, I've added this spinner (not published yet, making sure the spinner 
doesn't show up if there's no unpacking going on is more work - the spinner 
itself is really easy ;-), and it will for sure improve impatient user 
experience on slow devices.  However, it will not fix the "device is 
bricked" thing Assad saw, because this is so far completely irreproducible.
