Boost 8330--5.0, its here and for real

**mininash13** · 01-22-2010, 10:56 AM

actually it does make it better, multiple reported problems were from ppl who didnt wipe and maybe its cause they were hybrids but still wiping gives you mem and works the best as far as ive seen.

There is no need to wipe.

You used BBsak and got the 507 error after the wipe right?

I'm having an issue with bbsak not being able to delete multiple cods. I left the original themes installed by accident and now when i try to delete them I'm only able to delete one at a time. Anyone know anything that I can do to fix this?

**mininash13** · 01-22-2010, 11:01 AM

goldalex: you cant delete all themes at once through bbsak. it has to be one by one

Ah alright, what a pain. Gonna def take some time then.

**mininash13** · 01-22-2010, 11:07 AM

yea it took me about 15mins. lucky boot times faster. but its worth it

**njaremka** · 01-22-2010, 11:07 AM

delete them all from your java folder, then re-run loader. loader will remove them all at once, and reboot.

wow, i installed and had icons for all kinds of crap on my screen that were not associated to the right application. everything was using the wrench. gonna wipe and reload.

It works, and has worked for a while. I am on VZW. Did you rememeber to change the setting from 911 only to the always on setting. You need to see the ))) after the gps icon then you know its turned on.

What theme are people using, I am trying to reload the precision theme that I had running with the .230 hybrid and its not showing up in the theme manager. Any ideas?

i disagree, a wipe is necessary for a smooth running upgrade, even more so if your leaving 4.5 and stepping into the great world of 5.0

I thought bbsak 1.7 did multi cod deletes

Edit: ok guess I was wrong. It lets you select many cods but not delete them at once, only top one goes. Sorry all.

Awesome i'm gonna try it, i'm loading as we speak and just for kicks i though i'd leave bbmaps in there to see if i can get the gps to work.

So you're saying that you have bbmaps on your vzw 8330 with this Boost OS and the gps nav works???

I have Vzw and bbmaps is the ONLY one that uses my GPS. Google maps only uses cell towers and has been off by more than a mile depending were I am. They just last year unlocked GPS for bbmaps only otherwise gotta get their navigator.

Awww man I'm so jealous of you people able to do this- I'd for sure botch up the process and somehow brick my phone...

Would love to get my hands on 5.0 but I'm just too damn scared to do it!!!!

**mscooley** · 01-22-2010, 11:21 AM

Everyone, keep your eyes on this thread as well as nathanix.com. He has some really great 8330 resources.

Did you install the OS? What I mean by that is, did you install it to your computer yet? When you download an os it comes as a packaged executable installer file. What you have to do is run that file and install the os to your computer, then you would delete the vendor file and install to your phone with apploader. You don't even have to have you phone connected when you run the installer that is on your desktop. Kinda wordy, does this make sense?

Camera use and picture viewing is extremely slow. No 3g symbol.

**goldalex** · 01-22-2010, 11:26 AM

Is anyone else having trouble installing their own themes. Everyone I try to load through bbsak does not take and does not show up in the theme selector...

Update: Finally after loading the 5th theme I tried it seems to have finally worked. I have no idea what I did but they all just finally showed up. Really strange.

**P-Dizz221** · 01-22-2010, 11:29 AM

so would we still install 8520 themes? i have some good ones from the hybrid i was running before this.

**mattw85** · 01-22-2010, 11:29 AM

i have os 5.0 running on my sprint 8330. it's somewhat slow, particularly the browser, but definitely functional.

tried installing some of the nathanix precision themes but they're not showing up under the themes section, which means there's an os compatibility issue.

desperately wanting to get rid of the fugly default theme....anyone know of any good (preferably free) themes that will work with the official os 5.0 for curve 8330?
