I'd love to install this on my gf's pearl and mess with it, but don't want to put something on her phone without hearing about it first. Please post any findings!

best release so far. it felt more responsive on my 8120
not as sluggish as 161. so its worth the upgrade.

[gt500driver]

Fgt888, have you had any stability issues with it? Making it a little more responsive sounds great, her pearl feels sluggish when I use it, but then again, I'm used to my bold. I'll probably install it for her, then downgrade if she has issues.

well after playing with it for a few days and REALLY HAMMERING IT with
8+ open applications I can say everyone should be running this release.
ITs speedy, ok on battery life, multitasks well. I have NOT noticed memory leaks (im sure they are still there). ITs the best OS for the 8120 so far. Entirely chuffed with the update. (especially as its free). now if would could only get some 5.0 love. which i doubt.

the difference from 161>162 is quite remarkable. i think 162 is the new benchmark for 8120/8100/8300 devices. (GSM ONLY)

I just installed it as well, and it seems good so far...over 2mb more free is good
will so how it holds up after a few days usage..
cheers

Only drama I've found is the battery doesn't seem to last as long as before but tbh I'm a really heavy user and if the trade off for more memory and faster processing is worse battery life then so be it pass me the car charger

[ianst28]

[prlarkin]

[ianst28]

lol i wasn't sure about forum etiquette so i didn't want to post the link here so i'll pm you the link i used and then if someone else (ie a mod) says **** yeah post the link then either you or i can

[zocster]

the above is definitely the correct link, and I have been rocking this flavour for the 8110 for over a week, and is definitely better than the .161

I can second this, I downloaded it, and it is definitely .162.

Too, anyone had any issues with this? I upgraded mine Saturday evening, and since then have had my first crashes. 2 of them
can't remember what I was doing the first time, but on my way home from work today I was checking weathereye, and it kinda hung for a minute, then crashed.
boom, red flash, and gone.
I'm hoping its not the os (but nothing else changed..) but I wanted to see if anyone else experienced anything negative..
cheers

[jrv2]

make that 3 crashes
just put it into keyboard lock, and boom red-flash....
anyone have any links to good info on the log-file?
ie ALT-LGLG, the contents are rather cryptic.....
I wold like to debug what is happening to cause the crasheS, but it seems almost as bad as bsod's.....hard to gleen any meaning...

so i downloaded .161 for my 8120 and it runs slower than before. will this one run better?

[redman12]

.162 crashes. 161 is much stable.

Can you PM me that link as well, please? I'm still running an ancient TMobile version and would love to get up to current and cure some of these memory and overall speed issues.

Thanks!

[ianst28]

How many people are having problems with crashes? Was about to update my gf's pearl, but stability is an issue there.

yes it is one of the better ones, but if your aim is to have BBM 5.0 running you would need at least a .131, where this one is a .124 package.
