Leaked OS 5.0.0.451 for the BlackBerry Storm2 9550

hey everyone....i just wanna know if this new os will screw up any apps and/or themes i have on my storm 2?....for instance will it screw up my ultimate lock app etc etc?

Just take the name of the file and use Google.

enjoy for anyone still looking for this....

Hey can anyone post a new link for the OS... all of the others have been removed

On my previous device when I downloaded the leaked .451 my device memory went to 122 mb but when I downloaded the leaked .451 on a replacement storm 2 that I received today it does not show a memory increase, it shows 112 mb. What happended????

I have a unlocked 9550 running on AT&T ever thing works good
but no gps there is no working link for .451 or .428

This is a first I had issues downloading and installing new OS software. But in this case, I tried every suggestion noted in the forum. I had no luck. Can anyone help me? Thanks.

Auto complete never fully turns off when typing on a full keyboard in portrait mode.... so annoying!!

If anybody has it, can they repost it somewhere? Thanks =)

after using it for a couple days i decided to go back to .428
the touch screen isn't work fine, not very sensitive just like .428

Can anyone help by posting a new download link for this OS? others are not working for me
Thanks

i don't know how the performance was with .428 but .451 is awesome. probably 10 mb more of free memory, battery life is good and the homescreen updates. i upgraded from the .320 OS which is a joke. i have had no glitches at all. my advice to you...........don't wait for verizon!!!

Upgraded .451 from .320 and the performance has greatly improved.
-No problem with speed dial
-Faster reboot time
-No call drop (so far)

However I'm unable to play video in AVI format directly under .451. Same happen to .428 upgrade previously. I was able to play any movie in AVI format directly when I was on .320. Wondering any one here facing the same problem?

So whats the low down. How does Bes and apps work?

Help, I installed and have had no problems except for the message: SIM card Error at the top of my home screen. When I go into options and AO, SIM card reads invalid. What do I do to fix this? Help!

I installed the new version last night and everything is great except when I recieve a call in the holster it goes right to voice mail... I have check all my profiles and everything is the same. It only goes to voice mail in the holster out of the holster it rings like it always did... Any ideas..

Since upgrading from .320 to .451 I have seen the larger halo for highlighted keys, improved spacing on the portrait view of the keyboard and others that people have noted. Here are some additional comments to highlight changes:

*Screen rotation is more consistent and faster.
*Have not been though all applications but some have required setting original passwords
*Battery life appears to be improved - will see if that continues
*Camera is much more responsive when you click to take a picture (mine always needed to be pressed very hard and had a long delay before taking the picture)
- Side comment for the camera - noticed that just holding the picture button will invoke an autofocus (dramatic difference on close-ups) prior to pressing the button
*video seem to start recording a little faster than before
*When trying to end a call the 'button' is now more responsive (again very hard to press the button, this was an intermittent problem)
*I would describe the screen typing as more lively, it requires less effort to type and the screen updates faster with both text and word guessing
*Suretype word choices appear more consistent with standard English rather than guessing at made up words.
*Stock Browser - seems improved from website access and navigation - still slow, using Mini Opera 5 Beta 2 which works really well

Overall, a nice update.

That's the same problem I am having. I have restarted my computer several times and nothing. Someone please help. I wound up taking off .428 off and going back to .320. Still nothing. But I must have deleted .428 off the computer. Now stuck with .320. Please help!

I installed the .451 software and opened BB Manager then connected my phone and no new updates were found. I have used this process before without issue. I have also tried to manually go to application loader with the same result. I have also restarted my PC. I am using DM 5.01 Any ideas??

The Link results have been removed

I love the speed on it! Also love the pop-up letters. So for those who still can't find it.

It is under options -> Screen/Keyboard -> Show Key Indicator. Then choose how you want it to display.

- When sending multimedia Send is now a menu that clicks out.
- Glowing blue is more intense.
- Facebook/Myspace work fine for me. Dun7ez check your version of facebook to make sure you have the newest.
- Noticed it shows 4 pictures per row in thumbnail view

If I notice anymore I will let you know. So far I also haven't had any issues with it. :)

I did the upgrade yesterday (.428 to .451) and I honestly don't notice any differences.

One thing I did notice is that all of my application registrations and preferences were zapped. I had to enter all of the settings again for BerryBuzz, Facebook, Quicklaunch, etc.

No other impact that I can see.

Wish there was a list of changes out there.

Hey guys...after i got this new OS...looks like facebook app. dosnt work with it... -_-

maybe my download was bad. does anyone have to post or send me? my email is scljrlb1@aol.com.

Went back to the the 320 from the 428 and now I'm at 451 so good stuff. Hopefully I'll see some good changes here shortly. Thanks for the recommendations.

I have the latest version of DM installed. I installed the Os and got this repair or remove thing. I removed. Re installed and restarted computer. Still won't recognize the ps when I plug my BlackBerry in. I have never had this problem before.

...

I used desktop manager 4.5 amd it worked perfect didnt have to get the 5.0 DM an did not have to remove the XLM file either pretty simple and easy .

Okay upgraded to this OS last night from .320 and wow its night and day different. No problems loading the OS onto my 9550 but did have to restart my computer before loading the app once it was installed on my computer before loading to my phone. only thing i noticed missing from my phone were the MMS messages in my inbox. but i did a back up before i did the new OS here are the things i noticed right away

1) new voice on voice command using bluetooth and the screen gives prompts for commands such as call... or dial... or check battery etc. the new voice is nice.
2) halo around keys when pressed is more like the iphone and ipod touch, also has a better feel and more spacing between keys, new characters when entering a phone number in address book are present in portrait mode like the parens ( ) nice touch i always had to tilt into landscape mode to get them to show up ..
3) keyboard feels a lot better when clicking and its hard to explain but it just works better.
4) swiping with fingers goes a lot smoother and faster, the phone responds a lot quicker to commands
5) photos taken with new OS have better clarity and flash control
totally loving this new OS

You need to have the latest DM..i was having the same issue at my home computer...Came to work and had a new DM v5.0.1 ...it worked like a charm...Hope this helps..

wtf?

I have the OS downloaded and installed. but when I pull up Desktop manager it wont recognize the new OS? Anyone know whats up with this?

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but its not coming up when I start DM. I've done OS leaks several times in the past and it just isn't working... Any ideas? DM can't find it and when I look for it manually its in "all fines" instead of "all loader files"??? I know I'm missing something. Running .428 now. Preciate suggestions.

i guess i need another link for the new os.451. link shows that it is not available.

http://depositfiles.com/en/files/ccli969l9

Can anyone let me know where will i get an active link?

Not to complicate anything for anyone... but you guys talk about removing the xml file or it doesn't work. I just install it and run the BB Desktop Manger (not app loader) and it updated. I am certain it did update because i have the new features and i check the modules before wipe and load..

It's so strange that everyone has a diff result. Only notice is that the sound playback in media library is not that great. but it's minor. Otherwise, deff better than .320

its no good anymore.

All went well only issue is (Where) app had to be reinstalled from App World.

First of all the battery life was great however the screen touch touch was very irradict and could not be adjusted. I went back to .428 I need the screen to work correctly :)

One noticeable difference is the "halo" around the keys while typing. Its really bright now and there's much.... More of it? Hard to describe really. Seems much faster but I did delete some programs during the install. If there's anything else I notice I'll pass it along.

is it just me?
installed the new os, delete the xml file, but the damn os just wont show up !?!?!?

i've tried using the desktop manager and the app loader.. same result.

please help.. :(

yeah do that...not that complicated! i've done it myself too and seems to be everything works fine.

Ok, I have seen several versions on how to upgrade and this is my first time at this. I am on verizon. Do I need to remove my vendor file and just follow the directions on the link above?

Thanks

Im about to upgrade from my 5.0.0.320 verizon OS.
hope it works and hope that it helps with the dropped calls. this is my 3rd BB strom2 in 4 months. My touchscreen kept locking up and rendering my phone useless verizon has sent me free replacements though so cant be mad at them. Hope all goes well with this update.

definitely worth downloading....the bottom buttons seem to work a lot lot better now! and it's way fast

Mirror link from Media Fire. One of the few sites that still work with Download Accelerators.

Downloading this one now, excited as usual about a new OS.

Install went like a charm, if you follow instructions on CB.

Running through some testing now. Browser is faster, especially zooming on loaded pages. All apps (except mobile banking due to certificate issue on leaked OS) are operating.

By the way, keyboard letters pop up since .428. You need to go into Options-->Screen/Keyboard and Show Key Indicator to Always or Touch and Hold. Yes, just like the iPhone.

There's a forum for this leaked OS. I'll post more testing results there.

I've been using .428 since Christmas and it's much better than stock .320 from Vz. Espcially on battery life. Need a day or two to test out battery on .451.

http://forums.crackberry.com/f145/storm-2-9550-os-5-0-0-451-findings-fix...

Downloaded and installed it didn't see any difference no additional feature was hoping keyboard letters popped up when pressed (like iPhone) but no luck. Reinstalled 5.0.0.320

Yes it's true 5.0.0.464 is already out for storm 2 9550 users. Even though it shows 9530 it's for 9550 as well. Also there is a 5.0.0.484 that's out right now. I'm using it now and it works flawless so far. Just search under crackberries search for .464, or .484 and you'll find it. Piece I'm out. ;)

Will update on the progress shortly

Thanks CB finaly I get some loving!!

Anyone have a laundry list of updates from version .320? Thanks!

Running it now on my Verizon 9550 and everything is working great so far...

Come on Verizon - we are waiting!

... pertaining to the latest update? From what it sounds like, it's the equivalent of .419 on the 9530..

I'm really only interested if the update is a legitimate one. One that has the new Torch browser, or a better UI.

9550 5.0.0.451

http://depositfiles.com/files/ccli969l9

has anyone used this update on a 9530? What is the verdict on performance if so?

Is the upgrade really worth it from .428? I am not suffering any battery drain problems on my Telus BB Storm 2. Just want to know if anything else has changed to make me want to upgrade? Thanks!

I jumped from about 105 MB after a reboot to 117 MB

See more mirrors for install as well as findings and fixes in the 9550 forums

Can anyone else post a mirror to the one above...

im sick of .428, 3 hours today and my battery was completely drained, hopefully battery life is improved on .451

Hmmm...would we be able to roll back from a hybrid? I'm currently running seanren's v5 .464.

Does anyone have any feedback how it compares to the hybrids?

In addition to items above, I also have:

1. Dedicated inbox for just my BES email, different than the Messages inbox.
2. Much better battery life than stock Verizon OS.
3. Faster overall response by phone.
4. This one is strange, but the screen feels easier to press with .428. Especially with a full battery charge.

All my apps work correctly, with two exceptions:
1. The speed dial doesn't always work. Exiting from the phone screen and trying it again usually cures that.
2. My mobile banking app can't resolve the certificates on the leaked OS and won't work. Worked fine on the Verizon OS even after I unlocked from Vz. Waiting for one of these new loads to be accepted by Vz so I can use this app again.

I too am hopeful to hear of first impressions on .451. I just downloaded and will try to load it tonight.

9530...smh

I am currently running 5.0.0.464 hybrid from bbhybrids.net, should I stay with this or go down to the .451?

Thank for the input!

So Good; just upgraded from .428 and it seems to be running smooth. The install was easy (one of the fastest). I'll post more as I get in to it.

oh koo, bout time.

its about freakin time, please list any improvements anyone sees thanks!!

Any reports on the battery life for .451?

.428 for the 9550 drained the battery dry within 6-7 hours, although it was nicer and faster build than the official .320 build i had to revert back to .320 because of the battery drain.

When will Verizon release the official software update

Please let us know what changes you've noticed...

I am currently running O/S 5.0.0.428 for my 9550 and I noticed the following improvements/fixes:

1. Homescreen updates as it should (5.0.0.328 homescreen did not update)
2. Combined messages folder for all messages and text messages (this was available for 9530 Storm users running 5.0.0.328)
3. Portrait keyboard has better layout and is spaced better
4. Show Key Indicator option in "Screen/Keyboard"

Thanks!
