- SlcCorradoBlackBerryExactly what the title says. You guys see those 9570 pics? Now we know... Should we be happy about this? 10mb isn't a whole lot left over, but that os has gotta be shrinkable. Any thoughts?
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com09-22-10 04:02 PMLike 0 - Absolutely. I'm so pissed at Verizon and rim right now.
The only reason that they stopped testing os6 on the S2 is that they couldn't fit any of their god damn bloatware on it. Since I got my S1, there hasn't been one instance of an os installation that i have ever had that I didn't use Shrink - a - os.
I will be surprised to see if there is actually a faster CPU in the refresh due to the fact that the only CDMA cpu that RIM uses hasn't changed in years. Qualcom MSM7600. The 624 MHZ cpu is for GSM devices.
Same situation is happening for 9700 users 9780? Really though? WTF, im snapping....
Want to throw my S2 at a wall. Oh wait, i might miss a BBM.
Damn you RIM, I'm an addict.09-22-10 04:37 PMLike 0 - Well even without bloat it still takes up well over 200 I think with normal rim stuff like browser bbm addressbook etc. But we know once shrunk we can run it09-22-10 04:40 PMLike 0
- SlcCorradoBlackBerrySo we should be pumped? I just haven't really played around with OS6 but I assumed it could be shrunk like OS5. I remember running my S1 with 15-20mb free, so maybe once an os leaks for the 9570 we will have something. I know all this is basically pointless, but after all this waiting I can't help but be excited haha09-22-10 05:17 PMLike 0
- Not quite sure it's anything to get excited about, even if you could shrink it, it wont load on a 9550.09-22-10 05:23 PMLike 0

- SlcCorradoBlackBerryI see your point, but that's a bad example because the input method is different for the 9530 and 9550. As long as there is a working radio file I can't really see how a 9570 os wouldn't load on a 9550. Of course I could be absolutely wrong, but I'd be real interested in the technical reasoning behind it.09-22-10 05:41 PMLike 0
- right, we dont know if the leak/official Storm 9570 will run on the 9550 and i doubt it will. But if we get a OS 6 9550 leak that should be easily shrunk down to work09-22-10 05:42 PMLike 0

- SlcCorradoBlackBerryYes if you had an OS6 SFI file specficially for the 9550, it MAY be possible to use (assuming its not extremely old and API not complete). But you cant take another devices SFI file and load it on another, no matter how similar the device may seem. It has never been possible and look how many Curve devices out there that are similar.09-22-10 05:50 PMLike 0

it makes sense for verizon to not roll out an update of that size considering what they had when they did it to the storm1 (plus theat wont give you a reason to get the 9570 lol)09-22-10 07:05 PMLike 0 - Glad I made some sense It would be nice if S2 owners were able to get a leak of 6 so hybrids could be made. Also to elborate on my previous point about Curve devices, the one I was referring to specifically was the 8330 and 8330M, pretty much identical phones, but the OS 5 SFI from the 8330 cannot be loaded on the 8330M (which never got OS 5).09-22-10 07:13 PMLike 0

- Typically RIM, it's like free beta testing. Crackberry members get ahold of it, install and start using, and the forums light up with findings. RIM can find out in a day or two what they need to keep working on. Theoretically.09-22-10 11:42 PMLike 0

- We need an insider at RIM or VZW to leak one of the Storm2 OS 6 builds. Anybody out there??? throw us a bone man!
Edit: one more thing i forgot to ask: even if we do get OS6, what is the likelyhood of getting any compatible apps? I would think that for us to get compatible apps, an official release would be needed. Why would a developer waist any time on an app that only a small population of S2 users would be able to use?Last edited by bmoney1229; 09-23-10 at 10:49 AM. Reason: Edit

Prevailing theory is because of the SurePress input mechanism requires more memory - the Torch is just a touchscreen with a physical keyboard.09-23-10 01:00 PMLike 0
- I thought I read in other threads that it was "being tested by Verizon and they abandoned it"... or something like that. If that is the case... there must have been an installation package for it, right? So someone has to have it... at least I am thinking that must be the case.09-23-10 01:09 PMLike 0

- so they have to add the surepress but in the same way they can get rid of the keyboard and trackpad input
and on the 9570(also surepress) leaked pix you can se 256+ mb free (exactly 274.4), sorry for my poor math skill but if you sub that from 512 its below 256
so it would run on the orginal s2Last edited by gfr3; 09-23-10 at 02:29 PM.
