BBSSH for OS7 Update (Pre-Beta)

Posted on August 17, 2011 by mparadise

An issue has been discovered under OS7 in attempting to show the Symbols screen while in Direct Input mode.  This will cause BBSSH to hang, and you will not be able to use BBSSH until you reboot the device.   This was due to the specific menu item that BB OS uses to universally provide the “Show Symbols” menu having changed internally.

Normally I wouldn’t post about an update for a single issue, but this one is critical enough to merit it.  You can grab the fixed version at the unstable download location for BBSSH OS7:

http://dev.bbssh.org/bbssh/unstable/7.0.0/BBSSH.jad

All the usual disclaimers apply: this release is considered a development build, and may contain additional issues not yet discovered.

Thanks to those of you who reported this one to me.

    Tried installing in my BB 9930 (OS7) but the BB browser doesn’t seem to know what to do with it. I can’t get it to install that way and the Desk Manager doesn’t seem to like the jad file downloaded to my PC.
