Lets say I take the time to get the new os 5.0 and I don't like it. Can I just use Desktop Manager to install 4.7 on there again?

[JustinD2473#IM]

Yeah, you can change the OS as many times as you want.

But most people that load 5.0 don't go back.

A newer higher build leak for the tour sure would be nice right about now.

No kidding.

I would never go back to 4.7 though.

I am just nervous that apps and everything will either not run or I will not like the set up. I have my phone set up the way I like it now, change is scary. I also make my own themes and I really want those to work. I see on TB there is the option for 5.0 os. I really want that threaded sms. Can I have sms/mms go to my sms and e-mails go to messages on os 5.0?

I upgraded to the 5.0 OS and went back to the 4.7 shortly after that. It's real easy to downgrade.

[dkh7m]

i too reverted from 5.0 to 4.7 as well. i've actually bounced back and forth a few times. i've been using BBSAK to backup and restore apps and settings to make the process a little less tedious.

[kylegelliott]

you can back up your apps and settings with desktop manager as well though, correct?

[RyanB95]

stuck forever

You can back up apps on DM. You'll see a list of all your apps before you upgrade or downgrade. Some may need to be reinstalled though, I think.

...I did

.230 was great, when it wasn't constantly rebooting on me.

[kylegelliott]

is that a common thing with 0s5.0 the rebooting?

[jfenton]

I've been running .230 and various hybrids for a month and I haven't seen one re-boot issue. I think it's application / hardware dependent.

[mjbesen310]

no issues with rebooting on 5.0 if you really have a lot of questions about the 5.0... just visit the OS/ hybrid fourm on here and read all about the 5.0's

[VDub2174]

I didn't have any reboot issues but I definitely had some major lag problems.

I think the hybrid/beta os forum may help you out more as mjbesen said.

[D07]

No kidding.

O, where art thou, official 5.0 OS?

I used App loader to load it- after backing everything up using mutliple sytems like BBSAK, DM the 3rd party App trick with DM etc. It installed perfectly and re-sorted all data and settings. I only had to re-install a few apps and re-register them- No issues there either-

All in all very good, am real happy with it- re-boot itme isj ust over 4 min - lots of extra memory and the battery lasts foreever !

I can't see going back.

Good luck- took about 90 min -35 to 40 to install another 60 or so to download & reinstall apps etc-

Good luck ! You'll find everyoen real helpful here!

I have not had any rebooting or any other issues either. All is going well with 5.0.0.230. The threaded sms is great and I also get 30+ hours of battery life. Once I installed it I didn't look back. I also believe that the reboot issue is application dependent. I would go for it. If you don't like it, plug into desktop manager and it should prompt you to go back to 4.7. I really believe you will be happy with 5.0.

[kylegelliott]

I dont want to go back! So far. I was disappointed that QuickPull didn't work, but then i found a version that did. The I found the problem with the music player not playing the second song and I realized all you have to do is pause it, then play it and it works fine. Totally worth it for the better battery life, quicker re-start time, added icons, threaded sms.....

[AZBBFAN]

kyle, you worry too much. Its a phone and this is fun! We spent some time working on your phone the other night, you know how easy this is after we walked through it step by step

[Peaugh]

Yeah, just upgraded to 5.0.0.230 a couple hours ago and I'm loving it. Snappy response, more free memory, just all around awesome.
