Thread: BBCrackman's v3.5 Findings

I hadn't thought of that...probably not as good as 3.5

I haven't heard/seen much better due to different files the .exe offers to the CDMA and Java everyone downloaded

Even with BELL .122 being as "unpredictable" as it was....I mean, when I had the .122 leak on my BB, It was better than the "official"...I can't imagine 3.5 over top could be better. Of course, like I said...none of this makes rational sense anyway.

I'm gonna say good night fellas...been fun.

If my storm sits in it's holster, on my belt and does nothing...just sits there. I pick it out of the holster and notice memory has dropped @ 4MB. Now if I check a few sites...in the site...outta the site, check one or two more...briefly...and look at meterberry, and WHOA...my memory just jumped UP 5 MB. Sits still...leaks memory, On and active...gains memory.:Eyecrazy::Eyecrazy: I don't get any of this s h i t :261:

If you have MemoryCleaner running, or something similar, it may be cleaning up while you're using an application. That would explain your latter question.

As for the former question, maybe you don't have MemoryCleaner (or whatever) set to run while holstered? :hmmm:

Basically, different apps allocate memory different than others, also some apps release memory better than others. Hince why when you use the browser your mem jumps, it releases the mem better than most. It also depends what you have running on your device. Themes (how many) vz nav, vvm, google, quicklaunch and meterberry. By the way meterberry is constantly on, it is continually checking your device (mem leak) so that may explain why you drop mem sitting in holster.

In addition to the comments BBC posted lest not forget that Viigo and Weatherbug also drain memory big time.

Well, that makes sense !! Thanks BBC...
If meterberry is constantly on, why doesn't it show as an app running when I hold down my menu key? Are there other programs that are running in the background also that do not SHOW as running? Interesting....

Thanks again for your response BBC.

Ok so stupid question. I see several people saying install hybrid 3.5 over .113, it is the most stable. Now, when you paste the hybrid over the .113 isnt it essentally overwriting every file? If so then how does this make a difference?

Its replacing files, they are different files then whats there when you install

gotcha, thats what I was thinking. I just didnt realize when you pasted those folders it would go into the folder and keep old files, I figured it would just put the new folder there. I wish I would have read this earlier, I just wiped 3.5 and reinstalled, but my file was over .114 I am now redoing it over .113

Yea, your mostly correct there are a few files outside the CDMA and Java folders that remain. I don't think they effect much as to the overall performance of the OS though.

Yes as Shane stated there are files that arent overwritten during the install

For example, if you have two files in one folder labeled A & B

and two files in another folder called C & D

and both folders have the same name and you try to copy them together.... once you say yes to overwrite...you will have one folder with files A, B, C, & D in it.

If that makes sense. lol

yeah, I guess I just never realized if you had one folder named "A" with files x and y in it, then you had another folder named "A" with only x files in it that it wouldnt just copy the folder leaving you with only x files. So it is actually overwriting the folder, but at the same time keeping the stuff inside thats not overwritten? lol
Hopefully this runs good. So far v2 has ran the best for me. v3.5 has been glitchy on keyboard transition. If this doesn't fix it I MIght go back to v2. v2 was perfect for me, but I ocassionally had problems were people randomly couldn't hear me. So i tried .122. Although I still have this problem.
