Please Login to Remove!

Sorry for the double post but I spent the last hour or so returning my phone to factory condition.

Now that i have done it, is there a way to make an image of my factory OS that I can reload should I screw my phone up again?

@Darmichar removing the VAD files will cause the Options>About to not work. It's documented in John Clark's memory removal artical.

Yuppers, I removed VAD and I just checked my about option. It is listed, but does not work. Anyone know another way to get that info?

According to JC's article...

"Be aware that if the VAD (Voice Activated Dialing) files are removed from OS 4.3 and up devices then the Option >About screen becomes inaccessible."

So it would stand to reason that 4.2 and below would be ok.

You're absolutely right. I just saw the HH OS version in his signature (not on the left section though).

I had already removed many items from John Clark's thread. I did use this app to remove the two default themes. I assume I can only download zen themes now.

I was afraid to mess around with RIM tools, MDS, etc.

Thank you, ALT eace worked for the info.

The icon is gone and About is inaccessible but this is no prob since I now know about ALT eace to get that info. So all in all I am happy with MaxMem.

I removed MDS as I am not on BES and also removed RIM Tools. Every thing is running great.
In fact I removed every thing with MaxMem that you can except the current them I was using (T-Mobile #5 theme) and what I believe to be the RIM default "Swiss Army Knife" theme (kept that one also as insurance that I should always be able to navigate if I lose the current active theme somehow).
