BerryWeather 2.We have invested a lot of work to make BerryWeather 2 better and

Version 2.1 is using a new storage format. This means all data will be lost. Make sure you write down your custom radar links before upgrading!

We recommend uninstalling any previous version before installing version 2.1

You will need a valid BerryWeather 2.x license or this beta will be limited to a 3 day trial.

Download the beta at

OS 4.2.1 and higher

Version 2.1.36 (Jan 23th, 14:30 CET)
- Renamed 'Radar Maps and Webcams' to 'Radar Maps and Media'

New Features/Bug Fixes in 2.1
- Complete rework of the core. BerryWeather will now fully close the UI when sent to background. The homescreen wallpaper and icon will keep updating. Unloading the UI should save a lot of memory and avoid many potential memory leaks.
- Major rework of internal data storage. Only basic location data will be persisted across reboots. Other data is automatically reloaded approx 60s after reboot or when BerryWeather UI is opened
- Using new server protocol to improve update speeds and minimze CPU load
- Changed forecast/advisory update settings. New option 'With Forecats' 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 walllpaper
- 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/hrml links)
- Fixed lag on image browser for background image selection
- Fixed lag issues on BlackBerry Tour (and other devices)
- Fixed several potential memory leaks
- Fixed errors on first time built-in map loading

Noted minor bug in Version 2.1.35. I have BW set so that under "Home Screen Icon" I have "Show Advisory Badge" as unchecked. However Advisory is showing in the Home Screen icon. I have checked the box and then unchecked it, still continues to be displayed on the icon.

On a positive note, memory management appears to be much better. I've been running the 2.1.35 for 12 hours and there has been no drop in memory since boot-up. This would have easily seen a drop of over 1MB in previous 2.0 version.

Wonderful improvements. One thing I notice is that the custom radars load up really fast. Being able to back up to the memory card is a big plus.

I second the backup to memory card act. Wonderful idea.

No memory loss at all! Beautiful blacked out interface. Updates of all 10 locations are fast. Flawless back-up/restore.
