.190 is working great on my 8900. However, the installation was a bit tricky for me. I had to wipe my device with CrackUtil before the Apploader would load the operating system. YMMV.

CrackUtil work fine for wiping the phone. Use the wipe applications function, followed by the wipe file system function. Then you should be able to load the OS using Apploader.

+1 for version .190

For quite a while I was running .100 - I was very pleased with it in every aspect: battery life was great, no reboots

Then .130 came out and I had it for about an hour (till the third random reboot)

Since day 1, I am running the leaked .190 and I must say - it is everything .100 was and SO MUCH MORE!!! As noted already, it is the little tweaks and things that make the experience so unique. Objectively, it is excellent on the battery, fast, no reboots, plus it is platform 5.2 - the latest out there (we know of).

Pretty soon, the 5.x developer tools will allow for all application developers to update their apps to run on the new 5.x platform and then there will be nothing better to run, I guess.

Hope this info helped you pick
