    I have the problem with the -190 release that my background wallpapers don’t seem to fit anymore. Now they are all too small.

    If I pick the “waterfalls f.e. they don’t fill the whole screen anymore. Even if I select “zoom”.

    What is the case with this release and the wallpaper images?
    Anyone out there with a solution??

    Thanks in advance,
    -Adrian

    @Amir.
    Thank You for Your suggestion.
    Zooming in dos not really help. On the left and right sides there remain black borders.
    I have looked further into it and it looks like not all images have the format 320×240 anymore. Some do have and there’s no problem using them as wallpaper on the front page.
    But not the “waterfalls” I like most.
    In the meantime I have wiped my BB and reinstalled version .126 with the correct preloaded images.
    Is there an option to backup those images, install .190 again and the restore the backed up images??
    Best regards,
    -Adrian

    I had trouble downloading it from RapidShare so I had my friend upload it for me on a new site. Heres the link for anyone that has trouble with the link above:

    http://www.megaupload.com/?d=06DDO3X1

    This is way faster than RapidShare. Im getting ready to install right now

    Thanks for posting the link for the Asian version of the 190 firmware…

    Is there a megaupload link for the file? Rapidshare is not allowing me to download the file after downloading the English version..

    Edward check the comments above yours. I posted a link to get the OS from megaupload.

    So far so good, I’ve been running the OS for couple hours.
    Battery life got way better, best build until this day.

    Alright, so far so good. I don’t have the screen issue that someone remarked.

    How has it been working for you who have had it longer than me? What should I look for? What benefits can I expect in terms of speed, stability, more available memory, etc.?

    Thanks, folks. I love my Bold!

    Looks like my email got messed up.

    I cannot reply to emails anymore.
    My Bold treats every email as meeting invitation now and I have only “Accept” a.s.o. as commands available, but not “Answer” a.s.o..

    Is that a .190 problem?

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    best regards,

    Well, I've been running this OS for over a day and I have some interesting feedback…
    GPS: stopped working…I have no idea why that happened but I can't get a lock on my position anymore and it's not responding after refreshing or turning on/off.
    Memory: way better, stable around 14 MB after intense use…but my problem was with the GPS, and since that's not working…hmmm
    Speed: very slow…I hate to say that but the response time from unlocking to locking is BAD…like 4 secs.
    Conc: I'm downgrading to the original ATT firmware…although the 168 was better, but I'd rather live with the original now till something solid comes out for the Bold.
    .168 is definitely better that .167 (ATT version) but, oh well…

    After reading Everyone post, i have made myself a check list and will test everything i can think of , i am Testing a Rogers Bold upgrading from .168

    I tested all pictures on SD and Pre-loaded pictuers, all came up full screen, and are able to access and view all of them.
    E-mails work fine, they have all functions like they should, full list of optiions, and able to reply and send.
    After a Restart i had 52 free megs of memory, after launching all the progams, im averaging mid 40s.
    I got a GPS lock after about 2 minutes ( inside, at night, Thick cloud + rain )
    Solid 3G connectivity, been solid 5 bar reception, dropping to 4 once or twice, then back up to 5 (inside basement suite) Internet loads fast.

    Wifi connected with in 10 seconds, Steaming bluetooth to my wireless Motorola S9 headset for about 20 minutes + wifi on without a single skip.

    That concludes my Run through, I cant find a single flaw, i have tested everything i could posibly thnk of , running 3-4 programs at once, trying to provoke a slow down, Restart or slowdown, nothing…
    Seems very Solid

    I have been using the new software for a few days now and everything is stable. Stronger 3G signal, better life and memory stability. I am using AT&T and the OS is much better than .167. Overall I have been happy with .190. Also web browsing has been increased.

    Agreed. I've been running it for 2 days now, and every last app works. As far as the thumbnails in Media, one big improvement is how lightning fast the thumbnails load!! Snappier, faster, stable. Great OS on a great device. Loving it.

    Using this new OS .190 for couple of days now. Everything is much more stable and fast than the previous one.
    Moreover Battery Life has been increased a lot. Now goes for 2 days + without a recharge. Before I used to charge my Bold daily.

    i had to return my Bold, I had a feeling that it wasn't working properly….and I got the back door replaced on it because it was defective…yes on the new one too…
    currently I'm running .167 as ATT recommends and I'll wait for something official….I'm a big beta fan but…i don't know why I won't try this firmware again, probably not good for me…most people had better than than I had…
