I just got a new BOLD through Rogers and I know this has been mentioned on a ton of threads so it is hard to follow, so I apologize but I have to ask this question again. Which is currently the best OS to load onto my Bold?


Thank you.

The one in the sticky.

iI've been using .216 for close to 3 weeks without a problem.

.216 is best for any bold.

Thanks for the replies. I know the most recent one is always listed on the sticky, but I was looking for the most stable. I had thought the one that comes installed on the Roger's device .162 was, but maybe not now according to the above posts. What am I gonna see different in the .216 compared to the .162?

I have been using .167 from ATT on my Rogers Bold for the past few months without any issues. There seem too many issues with other versions IMO.

I used .167 briefly on by Rogers Bold, but found it took up too much memory as compared to others I have used. It seemed to use a lot more than .162.
I have used .216 for about 2 weeks and have no issues. I used .190 for about a month previously without issues also. My feeling, without having done a scientific study, is that .190 seemed to pull in 3g just a little bit better than .216, but I cannot be sure.
Some sware that .219 (beta) is the best ever, but I have not tried it.
I guess you cannot go wrong going with the latest official OS release, .216.

The main difference I have seen with .216 and .190 as compared to .162, is that .190 and.216 are better in pulling in the 3g signals. If the Bold has a clear path to a 3g tower, even if it is miles away, I get full signal strength. I keep mine on 3g only.
