I'll try and give the feedback!!



To install this update:
1. Download and install the latest version of Desktop Manager
2. Donwload this OS and install it to the PC.
3. Delete the vendor.xml file located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader (this step is necessary any time an OS is installed from a different carrier than what is branded on the BB.)
4. Plug in BB and open Desktop Manager. You should be prompted to upgrade.

(Note: Link to previous OS 4.2.1.85 thread w/Chinese Click Here)

You have to go back a level and copy that URL...
This one doesn't work.

Link corrected.

Apps version 4.2.1.91...Install I shall!

Downloading!!

Oh my!

As I thought, there's nothing noticeable that's changed. Opera still freezes, no new themes either.
Looks like we're in to incremental changes for 4.2.1 from here on out.

Is it faster than optus?

I never had any speed issues with 4.2.1.85 or 4.2.1.66

I feel 4.2 os a bit slower than 4.1. Maybe it's just me.

Is a deal breaker for me, no chinese input support, but thanks for the link, downloading it now for my OS collection.

Can somebody verify if the ring tone is louder the pervious version, how many themes, any error, copy and paste in web page, wav file in email attachment, also on home screen when you hold down ALT and type NMLL, do you have the minus sign next to the signal number, thanks alot.

I'm just installing it right now

Please will you let us know how is it going.

Working flawlessly, but I can't install bb maps anymore.

the BB maps was installed on my 8700g with no problems, but I took it off. I like google maps better.

I'll get the software on my site soon and post a link in here.. That should speed things up for everyone..

I have tried it and it seems to work fine.. I uploaded to my site for you all to use.. While you are there, leave a comment or something.. Or listen to a song or two..lol

4.2.1 Rel 141

Enjoy!

other then no chinese is there any other noticable changes to this update?

I haven't seen anything in about a day of usage now.

I agree...the previous versions of 4.2 have been laggy for me as well. Hopefully this one will be better.

Thanks for the link guys, good find!

This one have been very stable.. but I haven't really seen anything different from the Chinese Version. I'll keep ya'll posted if I find something interesting.

Don't know about you guys but; the new OS gave me errors whenever I rebooted. PocketDay, beyond 411, and other apps. had problems also. Went back to the Chinese version for now....Later..
