BerryWeather updates to v2.1.40 with lots of changes
by Otoniel Bruno
One of our favorite applications BerryWeather has just went through a big update. Not too long ago, we put out the public beta that was available for you the users until this final one launched. With these changes, I’m very much satisfied with what’s been done. One huge issue I had was that BerryWeather never full closed when I would put it as my homescreen background. Well now it does. Hit the jump to check out the full change log for version 2.1.40 of BerryWeather.
Changes in v2.1.40:
- - Complete rework of the core. BerryWeather will now fully close when sent to background. The homescreen wallpaper and icon will keep updating.
- - Using new server protocol to improve update speeds and minimize CPU load
- - Changed forecast/advisory update settings. New option ‘With Forecasts’ for advisory will update advisories whenever forecasts are updated, ‘Never’ will never update advisories
- - Added data+settings backup to memory card
- - Added support for setting the icon size on homescreen wallpaper
- - Added support for blacking out the settings screen (on by default)
- - Added support for selecting whether to show radar/webcam links in internal viewer or browser (allows adding mp3/video/html links)
- - Improved overall performance and memory consumption
- - Fixed lag on image browser for background image selection
- - Fixed lag issues on BlackBerry 9630 Tour smartphone (and other devices)
- - Fixed several potential memory leaks
- - Fixed errors on first time built-in map loading
- - Version 2.1 is using a new storage format. This means all data will be lost.
- - We strongly recommend uninstalling any previous version before installing version 2.1
