HAHA probably....

On another note for those that are interested in this thread, I have a few results from .230 as well as the download link and how-to install .230. It is still early to be conclusive on everything so give it time and I will update.

Thanks again for all your work.

BUMP and yet ANOTHER request for sticky

Just heard about .230 and I will be testing it out now. My only suggestion when you get some more feedback on it is to perhaps clean up the original post a little bit. It's getting a bit lengthy

Just thinking that myself, Im thinking of limiting it to the latest 3-4 OS's and keeping the links to the 4.7,5.0,hybrid OS's with the majority of the latest OS's, and pointing that out in the OP to click the shortcuts to see the rest of the OS's

sounds phenomenal

i guess we'll just have to make this a manual sticky with frequent re-bumps

Yes, it does seem that way!

I shortened the OP and made sure to point out that you can find the missing OS's by using the quicklinks that patches suggested I do.

**asmallchild** · 09-17-2009, 06:40 PM

loving it, looks awesome

lyricidal's "complete" .230 has failed me so now i'll try using the link you posted

thanks again for all your work

**outkast_21** · 09-17-2009, 06:41 PM

I been trying to get this but i can't seem to understand. I have .191 already on my pc. I downloaded the .230. How do i put them together in order for this to work. It keeps telling me it's not compatible with my device. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Did you follow the steps listed in the link below the download link? If you have .191 fully installed on your computer, just run the .230 installer and when it finishes make SURE to delete the vendor.xml file from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader. Remove rim internal tools from the control panel if you havent already, restart your computer and try to install. If you still have problems let me know.

**outkast_21** · 09-17-2009, 06:55 PM

I delete it from my DTM, Correct? Sorry im a noob trying to learn.

**Thanontos** · 09-17-2009, 07:04 PM

DTM? Not understanding what that is, lol. But you will see the vendor.xml in the folder path I told you above. Just press delete on that.

To remove rim Internal tools, open your control panel and go to "Add/Remove Programs" if you have XP or "Programs and Features" on Vista. Scroll down till you see blackberry RIM internal apps and select remove. When it finishes removing, you may need to restart your computer.

*if you do not see RIM internal tools or anything very similar it must've been removed before.*

When everything above is done, go to C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\AppLoader and click on "Loader.exe" while your phone is plugged in and you will see a list of items to be installed, you want the top to say 5.0 core files or such. And by clicking details you will see modules tab on the top. Click that and you want to see the majority of them say .230 at the end. Go ahead and select the other apps you want installed at this time and click next. Hope that clears things up.

In the event your loader.exe will not recognize it, download BBSAK and click on load OS and it worked for me to have 5.0 system software to install.

**outkast_21** · 09-17-2009, 07:08 PM

Damn i know what your saying now. LMAO im stupid. Ok. DTM is desktop manager. Don't know why i was thinking of that. Thanks.

**Thanontos** · 09-17-2009, 07:10 PM

Ah I get ya now! Let me know how everything went for you too.

**outkast_21** · 09-17-2009, 07:41 PM

finally. LMAO that was easy. Just didn't understand all that well. I was trying to load it through DTM, then i tried to copy it and paste it to the 5.0.0.191 file. Boy was i off. When you said control panel, I was like DUH!! haha Thanks for your help.

I have .148 and plan on downloading .151. Do I need to delete the vendor file before or after downloading .151?

Yes for .151 you will definitely need to. It wasn't released by verizon. I would just get into the habit of doing it, it is pretty simple and only takes a few seconds.

So do it before and after the download?

**Thanontos** · 09-17-2009, 09:04 PM

Should only have to do it after installing an OS to your pc.

great info. now all I need is a hybrid of 230 & 167!

**blaisedinsd** · 09-18-2009, 01:00 AM

I think maybe consider not just doing the latest OS leaks but ones people actually might use and why....

If anyone is using .154 they are basically clinically insane..so why have it wasting space in the first post?

I suggest the first post should possibly have:

5.0.230- is there anyr eason to go with .191 over this? I guess if you are worried about the installation non .exe aspects. A brief mention of .191 explaining it's mostly the same except for the camera not working.

5.0.140-actually maybe not...why use this unless you hate flickscrolling (or are good with a way more buggy version with the backup enabling fix) , want 5.0, don't like themes, like your camera but can live with out zoom but hate hybrids of any kind to the point you will deal with some stability and media player bugs, and love BBM 5

4.7.167- perfect except themes don't work and memory is not quite as good as .151

.151- pretty darn good, themes work if they are compatible, memory is great...but streaming issue is the main problem and not quite as fast as later builds

.148 - if you want to stay with the latest official (for 9530), everything is compatible...not as fast or as good memory management...many have song muting media player issues and songs not showing up in initial memory card scan but other than that it's stability and compatibility for a little less speed and memory management.

Personally for me I am torn between .167 and 5.0.230 as themes are not really important to me......but I like Pandora, my media player bug free, and the compatibility vs. the nice .230 camera and speed, flick scrolling, prettiness and smoothness.

**Thanontos** · 09-18-2009, 08:15 AM

Sounds like a better idea and I agree with the .154 thing. I think card storm was the only one willing to run it for more than 10 minutes, lol.

I will switch the info around a bit and I did note about the .230 OS and the controversy a bit surrounding it.

**cddavis** · 09-18-2009, 09:29 AM

How are facebook and other apps on .151? I don't have streaming radio.

**Thanontos** · 09-18-2009, 10:12 AM

facebook, IM'ing apps work on .151. However slacker and pandora give you a memory error after an hour or two of streaming and you have to do a battery pull to correct. If you want a good OS with all that I'd try .167 but be prepared to give up your themes.

Facebook and most apps run well on .151

.151's main issue is with streaming radio

this may be a stupid question but I am happy with the factory out of the box theme...do I loose the ability to use that too and have to use something else.
