So I kinda would kilter to get some reviews from you guys who have actually applied this update. Specifically would like to know:

1. Blue tint issue on camera gone?
2. Homescreen redraws gone/lessened?
3. Coming back to homescreen from camera smoother?
4. How much ram does launcher take? Was at 40mb.
5. How much free ram available at boot? After use?
6. Spacebar on physical keyboard issue fixed? Mine likes to freak out.

Thanks in advance guys. Oh, and when giving your review, can you please say if you are rooted or not and if you have frozen apps or not?

On mine the blue tint is gone I have a thread on this forum with pictures with no blue tint. My keyboard has never had issues so I can't say anything there. Cell standby is at 6% so a lot better but my screen is way up to 14% to 27% so don't know what's going there. Im on my first full day so we will see how it goes. I will check in latter

1. Yes completely
2. Well I'm rooted and have a ton of apps frozen, so I dont have that issue anymore to extremely rare
3. Yes, taking the picture is also much fast as well.
4. Which launcher?
5.I now usually have 150 to 110 MB free of ram
6. Not sure what issue you're referring too

I was referring to the stock launcher. I liked the stock launcher but it was too laggy. For me, when I had stock launcher it ate up somewhere between 40 and 45mb of ram. I was curious if that footprint has been lessened.

Maybe, it's just my phone, but I have issues with the spacebar either not working or sticking. Could be just me though... Maybe I'll get a replacement, probably a hardware issue...

Im rooted. I used the safe bloatware removal script so yeah.
1. Tint is gone
2. I havent had this issue since I edited the build.prop file and changed a few things. Runs sooo much faster
3. Yes definitely. I even exited camera, went home and back to camera to see if it would freeze and no freeze. Waited barely 2 seconds for it to come up
4. Not sure.
5. After boot, Honestly im at 199 MB.
6. Never had the problem.

Yesterday, I had my cell phone off the charger for 13 hours and I came back home with 50-60% battery life left. That has never happened and the update did something right.!
 
You know what I want in the update? Give me an alarm clock notification bar icon that looks like a clock, or alarming, or something better than a black box...

I got the same problem where my space bar doesn't make spaces sometimes or just spasses out, it happens only once in awhile though

My fault I meant the box with a check mark as the alarm clock notification icon is random. Not what you mentioned

Not only goes crazy on my space bar but other buttons as well for me. Pretty much the keys from the right side of my space bar to delete. Very aggravating.

This...

...especially considering the fact that I bought the phone for the hard keyboard.

Here's all I gotta say about the update.

Yes that's 50% left after over 12hrs with moderate use. Never been that good.

Can't make out the picture very well, but if you guys are getting that much more battery life I'm gonna have to apply the update.
