I have installed the OS, but how do i restore the backup I did using DM4.6 when I was on .247 its not recognizing my device after the upgrade...This is fantastic!!
BBM layout is very different, if talking to someone and you get a new message from another contact the first line shows on bottom of conversation window.
Contacts list in BBM gives status ie.. available, Font is different in BBM too, I may prefer the font from previously as this is slightly harder to read. All contacts show the last line of the conversation in contacts list. I don't have a storm but it looks very much like the storm version of BBM that I have seen from pictures.
Picture scrolling is awesome, and FAST!!
Only application that is not working so far is viigo so I guess we have to wait for an update.
A few new options, Browser options has a 'gears settings' ??
If you select explore in media there is a podcasts folder.
Menu's have a drop down box to make changes rather than having to go to menu > change option. Nice
So far it is running very smooth and fast.
Applications did not transfer during install, am having to redownload most of them. Had to reinstall BBM, tasks, memo pad and Docs to go. Lost all contents from memo pad and they will not restore from back up. Note, This was after a WIIPE and install.
EDIT: I upgraded to DM 4.7 and now it recognizers my Device...Last edited by gpompeus; 04-10-09 at 05:03 AM.

To finally have the nice profile manager that OS 4.7 has and the upgraded the OS in general! I love my bold tho, guys. I mean, 4.6. I haven't had any problems so far I'll wait on the upgrade....04-10-09 04:39 AM
- Obviously its early days, but this doesn't seem to be as bad as some people are freaking out about. BBM enhancements are good (same as storm), as well as custom setting in profiles.
The only two apps I haven't been able to use is viigo and Googlemaps, but some people claim that googlemaps is working for them (?).
I have had a issue with the browser freezing now and then when trying to launch bookmarks. Other than that, this OS is fast and I haven't had any reboots and calls are working ok.
Still early days, but possibly a keeper for me and DEFINITELY not that buggy as some say (sorry b1aze)
04-10-09 05:12 AM - Already downgrading... 5.0 is promising but it's definitely an alpha build rather than a beta build. It's very very buggy (waaaay more than all the others leaked beta builds) : apps such as Facebook, WeatherBug, or Viigo don't work, and I can't find a way to make BB Browser work... I didn't have any random reboots or dropped calls, but well, 5.0 only lasted 10 minutes on my BB
So install it if you are very very very curious (like me ), otherwise, just wait for a more stable 5.0 build.
By the way, I had no problem for the downgrade : my good old .247 works flawlessly. I uninstalled all stuff related to BB Device Software 5.0, re-installed 4.6. The only little "thing" I had to do was to "force" DM 4.6 to downgrade. It's quite simple :
- on the home screen, click on Application Loader
- Click on the "start" button in the "update" section.
- Click on the "advanced" button
- Click on next, and it will downgrade (you should see "downgrade" under the column "action).
I didn't have to wipe my device.04-10-09 05:22 AM - Thanks for that link Ash
For those who are downgrading what is your main reason for doing so? Have you had reebots, dropped calls, what?
I've been on my BB constantly for the last 6 hours or so downloading apps, surfing, having a good old nosey round and all I have had is one reboot early this morning.
Perhaps wiping before installing the OS helped? Yes I lost my apps but this may not be the case for everyone. Reinstalling them isn't so bad, its quite fun actually.
I love viigo but in the meantime I can add rss feeds to the browser while I await an update.
I really like this OS and if it continues to run as it is I will be keeping it.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com04-10-09 06:10 AM - I figured this method also working to bring back our Bold's Internet Browser, if it doesn't show after the upgrade or endlessly resending service books in "Host Routing Table" doesn't work

Follow either one of these two methods and there goes the magic. Of course, resend service books for your email is also recommended to ensure everything works properly. Enjoy!Last edited by bennyph; 04-10-09 at 06:42 AM. Reason: more info
