BlackBerry OS 4.7.0.114 breaks cover for Storm 9530

It's that magical time again -- that time where we get out our Storms, cross our fingers, and take that leap of faith hoping that RIM knows better than our carriers do (and let's be honest, that's not a terribly big leap of faith). Yet another firmware for the 9530 has leaked out of Waterloo without any endorsement -- thus far, anyway -- by any carriers offering the device, but this one's a little special in that it apparently implements that new copy / paste method we'd been hearing about. As always, upgraders are advised to use caution, but seriously, how many firmware builds can we go through before Verizon goes ahead and certifies one for the masses?

Apparently the dial pad keyboard doesn't come up when on a call. Here's a fix: http://forums.crackberry.com/f132/phone-keyboard-fixed-right-way-179885/

Same with AT&T and the Bold. Lots of firmware releases, none yet certified. It's getting ridiculous.

I'm about to ditch my storm because I refuse to use a leaked firmware.

I have taken and gutted the code in .114 and put the radio code and keyboard files from .109 into it but didnt stop there. I also went through and gutted out all of the files pertaining to language translations and simplified alot of the basic file code and this thing screams. I have the delay in the accelerometer fixed to my liking which means about a half second delay so that its not always flipping when you move half an inche. i have loaded and unloaded different programs and run into no problems thus far with Vcast VVM Yahoo Messanger Googletalk MSN live messanger. Under radio diagnostics I am getting -83db when testing and I am able to switch between the Global and 1XEV wihout any issues. I am happy with the code thus far but I am still doing minor tweaks to clear up the code to remove any of the lingering files and such that are not needed to make my device perfect. Kickin it Hybrid and lovin it.

How do you do this? Like is it really complex, is there a software that you use to do this? Or?

Tell me how you change the accelerometer setting. Thx.
