KUDOS to IRETRUN and the Hybrid 50v711 over leaked 5.0
- 50v7.11 hybrid is just awesome on top of the leaked 5.0.
I have very little lag, awesome battery life, the browser is acting supercharged. And, restarting my phone takes EXACTLY THREE MINUTES!
My TOUR is like a different phone. It started awesome, and now it's just WAY BETTER. (And, I'm no "fanboy". I was seriously looking at the Droid until I got a hold of this software.)
Installation was EASY, and took less than an hour.
One bit of advise. It is NOT necessary to install the 5.0 on the PHONE before you apply the hybrid. Instructions are sometimes confusing. The leaked 5.0 needs to be installed on your computer (uninstall other versions from Control Panel). Install the 5.0 leaked version (on your computer), then run the hybrid (on your computer, run Shrink my OS (on your computer), then run loader - and then - and only then do you plug your phone into the computer.
Installation goes faster if you don't let loader re-install your date.11-26-09 01:18 PMLike 0 - Regarding battery life, it seems like the battery takes forever to get as low as 50%, and then suddenly i look down and it's at 15%... but I agree, I LOVE this hybrid. Thank you, irtehun!11-26-09 02:29 PMLike 0

I didn't shrink os before the install. But my tour works fine. Can I shrink os and do a second install without deleting the hybrid? Big kudos to V7.11 as well.Last edited by veevans01; 11-26-09 at 06:11 PM.

- How do you get your contacts and calendar back after install?

- Glad you guys are all enjoying the hybrid. Irtehun's been doing it for a while and I'm happy to see him get the recognition he deserves. The best way you can show your support is to express your gratuity over at BBHybrids - Blackberry Hybrids. It is amazing to see how many hybrid users there are nowadays.
I can agree with everything in this post. RE: battery life. When you first install the hybrid it will switch your radio to global instead of 1XEV the first couple of times. This can be a battery drain. Make sure you switch it back to 1XEV. Indeed, the battery life will also get better as the device normalizes after an install.

- I had to sync my Outlook to the BB after updating yesterday. Used DM to do it. Somewhere in the middle of it all I got the new DM update 5.0.1.28. Somehow I now have duplicate calendar entries though. So have to figure that one out.11-26-09 09:52 PMLike 0
- I had 5.0.0.230 installed, and now did the overlay of V7.11 hybrid. I believe the process went according to plan, but when the BB loader finished, it showed the following message on my PC:
Warnings were encountered during the loading process:
The following database(s) could not be fully restored to your device:
"Browser Channels" 0 of 1 entries restored
The backup data file has been saved to "C:\Users\xxxxxxxx.....
The device seems to work fine. The About screen shows v5.0.0.238.
Do I need to be concerned about the error message?11-27-09 08:36 PMLike 0 - During the Shrink OS, I told it to remove all of the Instant Messenger applications, except BB Messenger. Process is complete, but I still have icons for AIM, Google Talk, Yahoo Messenger, and Windows Live Messenger. How can I get rid of these things, other than just hiding them?
I now have 115.6MB of free space, with many applications installed!11-27-09 08:48 PMLike 0
