ok, i've tried it... keeps restarting after load...
get a message that says...
This handheld device includes software that is proprietary... ... you are not permitted to reverse engineer ... blah blah
then it powers off and starts up again... done it about 4 times now...
anyone know why it's doing that?
i did a full wipe before install
and installed without SD card
... guess i gotta go back to .314 :S
ah well!!

11-19-09 09:57 PM - Well the battery life is surprisingly improved on mine. 6 hrs since I unplugged the charger and my battery only down to 70%. I think I love this OS. .238 drains my battery.I am trying to achieve 161 hours of battery life
which should be close to 7 days (charging every sunday).
I am not sure but I have a feeling this OS is eating battery a bit faster... .351 was leaked for the 9700 today, maybe when it comes out for us we'll see real battery improvement.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com11-19-09 11:12 PM - 1. In event log, the warning "W System - PMEGraphics paintFO failed ..." keeps repeating
2. Documents to Go lost their screen icons. Only default icons available for them. Same goes for Music.
3. "Application Centre" and "Help" no longer work. I get "An error occured while updating the application list: Error 404".
4. The button to capture Photos and Video looks low-res. Also, the thumbnails in photo albums have a low-res feel.
5. Threaded messaging is cool, but i can no longer hit "R" in the main screen to reply to a message instantly. Also, the date stamp for each message is not listed, you have to scroll to each individual message to view the time.
6. Battery life has worsened for me. After charging my phone, i made a call that lasted 11min, battery dropped to 90%. Last night after a full charge, i woke up this morning 10 hours later to find my battery at 90%.
7. Backlight timeout seems unstable. Even while turned off, it tends to dim the screen as and when it likes.
8. Missed calls and text messages revert from the red to green LED after some time.
9. Love the new ring and vibrate option. But i find that sometimes the vibrate doesn't seem to work.
That's basically it, i understand some of you have experienced better battery lives, somehow it's not working for me.
I think this leaked version is more or less stable, however, the battery life and some snags have convinced me to revert to the official OS for the time being.
So far it's been kinda fun for me to have upgraded to 5.0. I hope the official release is even better!
Just a side note, even though threaded messaging is nice, i actually prefer the "old" style of text messaging. I can view each message in the main screen with the time stamp for each message. Oh well, i'm OCD that way

i agree with almost all what kingrx said...
for point no.3, is it just me and kingrx or all of you got this error?
more or less, i am enjoying the new v5 OS because the looks are nice!
will revert back to stable OS if i found more errors while browsing my bb...11-21-09 03:14 AM - I've reinstalled .314 back on my 8520. Can say i appreciate the stability of this version, even though i miss the option to have vibrate and ringtones both switched on at the same time.
Somehow or rather, i don't miss threaded messaging! Am i the only one to feel this way. I really love the old school way of how the text messages look. It feels like even if RIM releases the official 5.0 OS for the 8500 series, i may not switch over
Still i must say the leaked version of 5.0 is pretty good. Those of you are are contemplating giving it a go should try. That's not to say there aren't any bugs. Like i've mentioned in my earlier posts, there are a couple. Actually, there are a couple more which i didn't mention, but i believe fellow members have identified.11-23-09 03:06 PM
