A new official VIBE2.8 1535 Stable Edition is available. I would love to see a streamline production update.
Install without problem. Working very smoothly I am coming back from Limonchello to Vibe UI and Vibe does feel a lot more fluid.
My only problem is with facebook which crashes when I try to access my messages, same with messenger which quits as soon as I try to access a message with popup : “Unfortunately, Messenger has stopped”. I wiped both apps caches, partition cache, reinstalled… no way to get rid of the problem. Any Ideas how to solve ?
how much ram available at first boot after installing this room and how much storage available?
Above 1 Gig.
