Meterberry says my last reboot was 4 minutes long. I'm used to 5-10 minutes. Keyboard lag disappeared so I'm guessing the OS is finally starting to settle in (already did 3 battery pulls after loading). media player did drain my battery a lot last night. But wasn't as bad as prior OS/Hybrids I've tried. Love the .517 radio.

The funny thing is I downloaded the .rar lava folder to my BB with opera mini 5. The bb browser couldn't even load the link lol. The shrunk version only took like 5-10 minutes to download on the verizon network.

Why would you download it from your phone? Like, as a speed test or something?

Day #2 running this hybrid and all is good still so far. Battery life seems pretty good so far. No complaints so far. Not sure if its just in my mind or not, but IMO picture quality is better when taking pictures, and thf accelerometer seems quite a bit more responsive.

I have an odd problem (I came from your previous .517 build) where everything is rather sluggish for about the first hour or so after a reboot. I am going back to the previous build...
This hybrid rocks! I'm on day 2, and battery life is awesome. I am averaging 1.1% drain on idle, and voice calls aren't eating up the battery nearly as bad as any .607 OS has been.
Keyboard lag is minimal, browser is ultra fast (fast enough where I don't even use Opera anymore), signal strength is much more consistent than .607, and just runs really great in general.
After being unsatisfied with many different .607 hybrids, I actually went back and tried a few .451 hybrids, but they felt much slower than all of the .517 and .607 hybrids. So I decided to try this .517 hybrid and it was the answer to my problem.
I agree with dkingsf. 517 runs far smoother, and I too prefer it to 607. This is the first time I've had to downgrade, been on BlackBerries for five years now.
Battery life seems worse for me. The first day of loading is was alright around 4-5% but now I'm between 10-20% discharge with just moderate to heavy use.

The voice portion of this hybrid is MUCH BETTER on battery than the .607/.676 hybrid. This hybrid is giving me about a 21% per hour drain on voice calls. The .607/.676 hybrid was draining about 39% per hour on voice calls.
so far so good,
using earlier 604, i have problem with the keyboard during signal changes from 3G to 2G (VIce versa). Usually my keyboard stuck and hard to press.
with this one, after 4 hours using changing automatically from 2G to 3G without any keyboard problem.
Loaded this hybrid on Saturday. Pasted over 517 and shrunk it. Two days and a couple battery pulls later, it is running great on my 9550. I prefer this over 607 based hybrids.
517 Pros over 607:
faster boot up
keyboard bug gone
keyboard letters are bigger (my preference)
holds a better signal (my device at least)
and of course, it's "faster"
I'm always on my phone, so my battery life is always bad, regardless of OS, lol.
Great work as always OOAKDPC. I'm hoping our next leak will fix the issues 607 had.
