There is a leak of 6.0 for the 9670 that does not exist....yet. Being the 9600 series has been dedicated to CDMA phones, does anybody wanna try and see if It would work on the 9650? Just brainstorming, that's all. Looking for anybody's two cents.

well i will go nuts and try it, I know how to unbrick my phone if i do and if I do I will try to make something that may work on the 9650 till official release.

being it is for 9670 app loader and BB Desktop manager won't see it since it is for the wrong phone, so probably need to make a hybrid using it. The phone file is for CDMA (Verizon). I will see what I can do playing around with it.
As someone who's "successfully" installed the OS6 9670 .151 leak to my 9700 (full install, not just java swap; no errors reported, but phone can't boot)... I can say it doesn't work. The hardware's too different. Using my model as an example, what we need is a 9700 (or perhaps 9780) base OS- even a very old one- which we can update the java files for. Until then, it's fun to play around with... but it's just not going to happen.
Here's a really bad analogy, but might help some tech savvy people understand. Think of the base OS and underlying files as a computer's BIOS. The java folder is the operating system. Hybrids are made mainly by swapping either the entire operating system, or bits and pieces. Our problem is that this new operating system, OS6, needs a new BIOS to run on top of. Without it, even if (like in my experiments) we get it to install, it can't run. We need that foundation to build on.
Unfortunately the OS6 apps are kind of in the same boat. OS6 uses a newer java than OS5, so it's backwards compatible, but not forwards compatible. A way to think about this is like Flash. If you have Flash v10 installed on your pc, it'll play all the older v9-encoded stuff just fine. But if you have v9 installed, it isn't able to handle or even understand the v10 stuff. This is one of the problems stopping webkit from being simply tossed into OS5 and working... well, that and its various OS6 dependencies. Again, we're waiting on that foundation to build off of.
Sorry for all the lousy analogies, but it might help some grasp the problems.
