B@stard Hybrid: Roche

Created by wu-wei (theme developer ordinaire and former BDHP member/beta-tester)

The new build: Roche.

Same architecture as Pierre.

This hybrid has been through quick and basic testing on the Bold 9700 platform. I have received reports that my builds work well on 9300, 9780 and 9800 devices, too.

Recommended base OS versions:

9300: 6.0.0.668
9700: 6.0.0.706
9780: 6.0.0.706
9800: 6.0.0.668

I have been recommending the new 6.0.0.706 as a base OS for this hybrid on the 9700. Roche also runs very well with the 6.0.0.666 sfi and a full java swap from 6.0.0.668 on the 9700.

I will note that I have seen several users noticing a "break-in" period. That is, the first day or so has atrocious battery life, but then things stabilize and we start sipping at the battery again. Battery life is critically important to me, so I am always mindful of those issues (and reluctant to leave my beloved 9700 for some shiny new OS7 device).

Change Log:

• Includes 7.1.0.150 files and a smattering of 7.0.0.585
• I've tweaked a few minor things to improve stability and radio performance

I have not personally tested this hybrid on any other devices, or on any other OS versions as a base install; however it should work on other devices without issue.

I will not be providing any support for this hybrid. I have not encountered any bugs with this build, but I have not run it through extensive testing either.

To install this hybrid, extract the contents of this zip file into the Java folder of the base OS you choose to use. On my system, these files were extracted into C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Research In Motion\Shared\Loader Files\9700Asia_v6.0.0.706_P6.6.0.246\Java.

When you extract the cod files into the folder listed above, you should be prompted to confirm that you want to replace existing files. If you are not prompted, then you are probably trying to extract to the wrong directory and the hybrid files will not be installed on your device.

If you do not know exactly what you're doing, then you should choose one of the following options:

1. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO INSTALL THIS HYBRID.
2. Read my guide on the CrackBerry forums, available here: Hybrid OS Installation Guide
3. Read any How To posts by elite1 in practically any hybrid or leaked OS thread on CrackBerry.com
4. Search the CrackBerry forums and read as much as you can find about how the BlackBerry OS loader process works.

Again, I will not provide any support for the installation or operation of this hybrid. It is intended for experienced users.

This package does NOT include any third party applications at all. I build hybrid OSes. I do not promote any apps or force users to choose whether they want to install apps they may or may not want. If you are looking for a particular third party app, I probably have an opinion about it and may be able to tell you where to find it (I'm talking free or paid versions, NOT WAREZ).

I've also decided to let folks figure out the BIS mix that works best for them (those of you who dabble in the e-mail setup files anyway).

Yeah , exactly 180 files . What base OS you recommend for Bold 9780 ?

[wu-wei]

I'm running it over 706 and it is performing very well.

i tried installing this hybrid as well i still seem to get the Uncaught Exception: Missing Resource Net.Rim.Device.Apps.Internal.Bis.Resource.BISClien t but this happens when i switch the phone on.. also when I go into the setup into email accounts it dispplays internet mail account and enterprise account but does not want to go into the internet mail account option

what would be the cause of this ?
is there a way to remedy this ?

It's better to start fresh. So uninstall the old OS .706 that had Pierre then Install .706 and do the same process as like before again. But this time with Roche build.

[FRanatic]

Sweet!!
I'll go for .668 as base OS. I need the dutch display language and don't want the 'hassle' of installing that manually or afterwards.

[lester78]

Installed!

[wu-wei]
