Default BEST OS EVER!!!!!! Im amazed!!!

I recently installed 7.1.267 Leaked version for the 9900 and I must say I am amazed how well this runs. Its so much quicker than the others for me.
Best of all the battery life is eye popping. I use to have to charge everyday before I went to sleep, now I can get 2 days out of my battery easily.

I am very impressed and use my 9900 quite a bit and have had no real issues, only positive things to say.

Give it a try.
But I must say the battery life is so noticeable how much longer it lasts.

so far I agree. But a couple of days of business use will be the true test on the battery life.

I'm glad you enjoy this leak and glad you have gained a better UX from it. I am now back on the BB scene after being busy with Android/Windows phone.

Expect more in the coming months. I may be working along side BBH Plus (Lyricidal and team) again to provide cleaner, bloatware free releases.

Regards,

I am amazingly satisfied with 9900/7.1.0.267 too.
Have been smiling all the way thru the day after update.

All the 9900 guys should update it now I suggest.

This is getting better and better.

Way to go RIM (Y)

7.1.0.267 have some bugs on DLNA system, backlight settings and in some core applications. But those are minor issues and I will post information on all the bugs I found on the .267 thread. I get 1.5%-2.0%/hr battery drain compared to 3.0%-6.0%/hr battery drains on other OS releases.

I had 7.0.0.585 and my battery was garbage. I installed this OS last night, took the phone off charge at about 10am or so, and I must say I am surprised as to how much longer it takes my battery to drain.

I look forward to a cleaner bloatware free release, I can wait for it.

To those who are afraid of installing this OS, I don't know what you're waiting for.

Is .267 noticeably better than the last leak, .205 ?

If so, how ?

Battery / faster / more features ?

I'm with you on the battery front.

Love the OS but do feel that it is a little heavier on the battery than .190 or .205 after a hard days work. Maybe only down by 5% over what I was used to with .205 but have had battery saver permanently on too.

On idle nothing to choose between .190 .205 and this one.

If you don't mind the trouble of wipeing your phone and installing .267, go for it. However I find the difference between .205 and .267 negligible [regarding battery life].

i'm still on the fence for this new leak.

Can someone tell me if there's an ability to change the keyboard layout?
