- Well....... I have tested this release since yesterday and have found it decent. Emails took a little longer to send and signal fluctuation existed. I would still recommend .975 (verizon) or Phil's .975 Hybrid (with 6/7 files), which is what i reverted back to. The only thing wrong with the Hybrid is that live.com and ebay.com have issues rendering.09-21-11 09:43 AMLike 0
- Any other tests on this? It seems this thread is no longer stickied for some reason (also the official OS listed on the OS page shows a slightly older one).
Been considering the hybrid and going back to the official.12-04-11 07:02 AMLike 0 - I am still using verizon's .975 on my Sprint Tour. It is the best OS for everything I need. I like Phil's hybrid from bbtweaks.com and there is a browser issue with live.com and ebay.com, so i don't use it anymore. I prefer ebay site over the ebay app.12-04-11 07:26 AMLike 0

EDIT: On a side note, I'd recommend going with the hybrids for those that are curious. Given the comparisons with this version (and the last official one which I believe is 5.0.0.1062) there are more issues than benefits.
After using the 5.0.0.1062 for a while, it's constantly asked me for setting up an email (when already everything was fine) after battery pull boots. Battery life + signal reception in general seem worse as well. Could just be a subjective thing though.Last edited by chronomatic; 12-04-11 at 07:51 PM.

I have been using 5.0.0.1062 for quite some time. Infact it was my first and only attempt to upgrade from 4 to 5. I have had no ill effects that I can tell, I am just wondering if I should try .975. Any advice?

Personally I've never had any show-stopper issues with the hybrids and they have been smoother overall (except that uncaught exception error which I assume is gone now). I can't say the same for the official releases since version 4.mike in nc likes this.12-04-11 09:07 PMLike 1 - I would definitely either download to .975 OR Phil's .975 hybrid with OS6/7 files. Battery and signal are far better with either of these, than .1062. Although you may not have had a "bad experience" with .1062, you will have a better experience with the mentioned choices.12-14-11 02:53 PMLike 0

- Well, I'll stick to .1030, stable, fast, and have flashing lightining when charging in the battery icon12-15-11 03:11 AMLike 0
