BBcrackman's V5 fixes and findings

Anyone try the .132 gps? Maybe that could eliminate any concern for memory leaking as the .141 gps was causing issues with many using the 5.0 before Lyricidal changed it to .132...i may give it a try tomorrow. If anyone else tries it let me know how it goes..

Seeing a bit of improvement in stability with memory and almost no lag in anything. This is pretty damn close to the gold code VZW is lookin for IMO. Still have slight memory leak but not as much drop. I also removed meterberry to see how much that's got an affect on it. So far its slightly better but gonna give it a few days to see.

let me know how it works...i would do it but i am working nights and need the phone for work.05-11-09 12:08 AMLike 0 - Changing the GPS files makes a big difference. there must be a leak in the 141 GPS cod files as memory is much more stable once making this change.05-11-09 03:38 AMLike 0
- I installed this build 2 days ago and I am loving it! I wiped my phone for the first time and installed the .132 version because .141 gave me troubles. This is definitely the way the Storm is suppose to run. Boots up a little less than 3 minutes and everything is fast and responsive. The typing on the keyboard is such a big improvement as well. The rotation from portrait into landscape is very smooth and fast and navigating through the GUI is soo fast its scary!! For once I am very happy to be a Storm user. Color bonding is still present though but who cares. This version is definitely worth a try because it has worked wonders with me. I might try .142 in a few days and see if there are any changes for me. But for now I am content.05-11-09 06:51 AMLike 0

Yeah it works great but you still have the 4.7 browser and some other files. On Lyricidals hybrid you get the better 5.0 files. I like having the 5.0 files because it's known that, that is the step up because SUPPOSEDLY, that will be the new platform for the future OS from Verizon. This is just my option. I love the OS I'm running now.05-11-09 12:36 PMLike 0

Thats for being the tester...i also wnat to know what .cods are you taking away from the V5 by using the 5.0 files as i was thinking that the reason for v5 was to use the best .cod files from all the os leaks from the past. Maybe some of the 5.0 files are not better than previous leaked os files???
Just a thought...05-11-09 02:00 PMLike 0 - so i been running the v5 with .141ver. for few days and ive noticed that for me memory leak is worse then it was in his previous v4. i was wondering if theres anything i can do to help the os out. cuz its kinda weird that a later version os has a worse memory leak then the previous05-11-09 02:16 PMLike 0

Or you could be the tester to see if only changing to the .132 gps would clear it up for you...
I would be interested to see how you do with changing the .132 gps cods only...i know the gps caused major issues in .141 leak on the 5.0 hybrid and Lyricidal went to using the .132....i may give it a whirl tonight, but i have noticed after my obligatory proper batt pulls and giving it sometime that this v5 OS has settled nicely into my phone and humming along beautifully..
I just dont want to get too cute with the OS's if they work nicely already and start changing all the mess around all the time and causing my phone to be booting up due to changes more than actually using the device for what it is intended to do...make calls and email..lol
.132/.141 V5 is the cats meow for my storm!05-11-09 02:30 PMLike 0 - I lost only about 5 mb of memory with about 90 minutes of Internet and media player (music) usage (with a few e-mails during that time).
I did lose about 10% of battery during this time, but I have not performed the recommended three battery pulls to "settle" the OS. Historically, I have always had higher-than-normal power loss after an initial OS/hybrid OS install.
Browser and keyboard seem as fast as I can recall.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com05-11-09 02:32 PMLike 0 - I think that will be the plan. I know I can always go back to Crackman v5. Plus I am interested in seeing what a hog like UberTwitter does to memory and battery later today when I get home.
If nothing else the physical battery pulls give me an excuse to use screen cleaner and polisher wipes!

- First of all i am very new to all of this so please bear with me, i am currently running BBC's v5 hybrid on my 9530 and am wondering what changing the .cod files from 4.7 to Lyricidals 5.0 would do for me and if there is a significant improvement how do i go about doing so ? Thank You in advance05-11-09 09:42 PMLike 0

Plus it wont hurt to give both a try....maybe a month each....
and remember first impressions do not count as you need to let the OS settle and give it a chance to get in the groove so-to-speak..05-11-09 09:57 PMLike 0
