good luck mate. I had to dawngrade back to .486 cause i has having touchscreen issues again like with .448 but NOT with .450 or .486. Plus, i have no proof, but i swear to The G.O.D. that it's an over all slower OS. Everything is running slightly slower than .486. By about a half a sconcd everything is slower and the main place i noticed it was in sms threaded convos. It the new OS you have to wait for an individual convo to open. it's crazy. Emails are slower and twitter, an app i use a thousand times a day takes about a second to launch whereas with .486, takes half a second. I timed it cause i wasn't sure if i was loosing my mind or like what. #notwinning

Thanks for that feedback. Never know what to expect from these leaks.

Did some more research on google, some people say it works and is better than .486 and others say they downgraded immediately.
Ahhhhh annoying hahaha.

Yea, this is common to get conflicting views on a leaked OS.

Ok installed it about 15 minutes ago and it works perfectly so far. Upgraded from .486. No major changes :(
Browser is slightly faster (I tried with Wi-Fi) and the phone boots much faster.
Thank god no problems with the track button or touch screen for me.

Thanks for the feedback. Which OS were you using before that allowed Facebook 2.0, OS 6.0.0.448?

Finally found a change. The lightning icon is now flashing on and off if you are charging.

I thought that this was already present in a previous leak? Could be wrong, but I remember something about it.

On .486 the icon was constantly there while charging.

I see, that makes sense.

OK I've been testing the latest leak from my first post and have no problems with it. It moves must faster, page rending, zooming, tap browsing all are much smoother. Battery life seems to be better also. All my apps works without problems. I experience google maps working better than when i was running previous leak version for my 9800 torch. I would say this leak is pretty good for everyone to try. Not experiencing any draw backs at the moment. I'll keep you posted as time goes by if needs be. Good to all who are going to try this leak.

Have you noticed any improvement in boot time?

I have installed it. works great. charging the bolt flashes. browser is a lot faster. icon bookmarks. network connections are more stable. All my olf applications are all working. facebook version2 does work. you need to press the trackpad down then paste the serial in.
