Dude, how can I post a link of the same web page were in now?
Found this as a response on their support forums.
About the OS, it is written in C++ but has an overlay that allows every library to be in Java. Applications run either for BlackBerryOS or for the J2ME runtime environment.
Can't find much about what kernel they used.
I was saying link for mars. You could quote it since it's your friend. You must know his user name.
Huh? You lost me.
You said your friend that use to work for bbry posted it in this thread?
Lol no I didn't say that.
Ok you said a former employee. I must had remembered you talking about a friend that works there awhile back. Non the less I found it on the bbry forum.
So, does that change things knowing that the core of BBOS is C++ and not Java as many people here said?
Isn't C++ widely used and very common language?
Edit, I do have friends at BB but they have nothing to do with coding.
I'm not sure what a core does? The kernel they built on is what I'm interested in.
Edit: I don't know much about operating systems and kernels and all that. But I can not believe that bbry would choose the path they did if they could just improve what they had. C++ is a programming language? but I have no clue how it interacts with different OS's.
So why wasn't BBOS totally fixed after being around so many years? Surely the folks you are implying were capable of re-engineering BBOS are bright enough to have gotten rid of all the systemic memory leaks and other issues after having basically a whole decade to do so. ??

If your device is randomly rebooting that much, you need a call with tech support pronto! In my experience, I've had two or three random reboots in the last seven months. 2 or 3 more than there should be, but very different from the regular battery pulls I had to do on my 9900
Oh and the comment I found said both c++ and j2me.
I was just pointing out that the problem wasn't eradicated with the new OS, it's still there to a certain extent. Saying that I've also seen the iphone 5 reboot itself once too.
:huh:

(P.S: in quote research will return ... 2 threads, including this one)
:whew: confusion between programming language and kernel, probably.
edit : funny we posted the same ... but I believe BBOS devices have smaller screens ;)

Ok showing my stupid again. C++ is a programming language that runs on may OS's including QNX.
So legacy BBOS is built on a programming language? I never hear iOS was built on C++ or android was built on C++. I always hear about kernels.
that's O.T, but may avoid pages about this.
And sorry, I'll try to keep itclearsimple, so techs and devs may cringe a bit ;)
A programming language is used to invoke the Operating System . Then the operating system will manage all the electronic components to execute a set of instructions, retrieve the result (in "machine language") and return it back in a more workable format. And so on.
It's a real shortcut. Because the OS is the combination of this "programming language" (C++) and the "engine" that will address the components (Kernel, Java).
OMG, I could get killed for writing this like that ... Saint Fortran, pray for me !
So for the discussion then what is BBOS built from? Certainly not C++ then?
Be sure that the elders will now be seeking your head for attempting to reveal their secrets to the common folk.
Yeah and I remember all the old BBOS random reboot threads here on Crackberry. Stick a matchbook between the battery and the phone, etc. Lol. There were plenty of those threads about the Bold 99xx phones.
Yeah BlackBerry 10 ain't perfect but it's only existed as a released product for 1 year. And in the end it's failings (technical ones) are to be blamed on the new team at BlackBerry. The QNX folks.
So then if I were part of the BBOS engineering team and saw the writing on the wall in 2007, why wouldn't I and my team members have committed to revamping the BBOS innards to fix everything. Protect our jobs, etc.?

It's one thing to find threads about it, quite another to find one showing the leak is a reality. Check each thread in this search.
Thank you my frenchy french friend. :)
Kernel was in C++ (or was it C?) and real time as I recall. But the OS on top of it was Java ME based.
I think.
