It's been a few days since 7.1.0.205 dropped, but today I finally had time to build and do some testing (aka make sure there's no huge bugs lol) on OSBB 706v2.5. Based on the testing I've done so far, I think this is ready for public consumption.
Boot time on this is AMAZING! Seriously, I don't think my 9650 has ever booted so fast. Signal seems about the same as in 706v2, and it's too early for me to make a guess on Battery life.
This build doesn't contain any OS6 updates over OSBB 706v2 because there hasn't been a new OS6 release since then. The only change is that the 200+ OS7.1 files have been updated to 7.1.0.205.
I expect this to work on all OS6 devices that OSBB 706v2 worked on - 9650, 9670, 93x0, 97x0. That being said, I can only say for sure that it works on my personal Sprint 9650.
Installation:
Since the only thing updated over 706v2 is the OS7.1 files, that's pretty much all the hybrid contains. If you want the added benefit of the 6.0.0.723 files, you'll need to install this AFTER INSTALLING OSBB 706v2.
After installation you will need to re-enable your email accounts.
Bonus: Some people (myself included) have had problems with scrolling on the latest Official BBM. This build contains an optional secondary installer that will install the last Beta BBM 6.1, which did not have the scrolling issue. Please note that you'll need a keycode if you opt to use that version.
There aren't any languages included in the main build; however, I've uploaded an untested .zip of other languages that you can unzip into your Java folder.

If you have any questions, just post here, or in the OpenSourceBB Forums and hopefully you'll get a quick answer!01-20-12 12:41 PM - There are at least a couple of good write-ups on installing hybrids, a little outdated maybe, and possibly a little too technical since most of the process is just click and install these days, but here is some good reading anyway:

Good luck!

bbapi_sendmenu.cod is an error that occurs when you try to run an OS7+ app on an OS6 phone - OS6 doesn't have the api needed to use the sendmenu command.
Try a different app. If that app worked before, make sure you didn't install an OS7+ version and if possible get an OS6 version.
A battery pull might also fix it.

Plz give me some solutions
I think that's a CDMA SMS limitation. Just like how CDMA can't text over 160 characters while GSM can.
Yes; not sure who, but I'm pretty sure someone did.
If you want a 9700 specific OS, you can also check out Wu-Wei's B@stard series.
I think Mike gave you some good tutorials (better than my 5 minutes between classes response anyway lol).
It really is simple though. Install a base OS onto your PC, then run the hybrid installer, following all directions and reading the steps. The installer takes care of most things for you.01-23-12 12:26 PM
