I deleted the langauges and blackberry messenger. I have no need for blackberry messenger. At least not now.

How do you put applications on the media card? I don't see any options when installing them from the phone browser. Is it an option when installing from DM? Is there any way to move an installed application to the media card?

[NJBlackBerry]

You can not install applications to the media card.

[Tagbert]

too bad. thanks.

Other question, can I store my inbox(mail,txt,....) in the SD card?

I've posted this in other threads, but it seems especially appropriate here. Plus, I've received a few PMs asking for help with this.

Mods break it into its own thread if you feel its deserving:

You can significantly increase the available memory by uninstalling various things from the Pearl. When I restart my Pearl, I have about 43 MB free, and I have 9 third party apps installed: Googletalk, Googlemaps, newsclip, spider solitaire, freecell, klondike, operamini, quickplayer, and RSAsecuretoken.

It's best to do this when upgrading the device to a new OS. For example, if you delete preloaded pictures (see step 5, below), they still show up as 0k files in the pictured folder. If you delete them when you reinstall the entire OS, they won't.

Not all of these steps need be followed, picking and choosing will work too. Where I say to delete a file below, it's probably better just to copy it into a new folder so that you can restore it if necessary. Whenever you want to implement the changes, simply run the apploader.

Back up your device first

(1) If you have a media card, go into the options in the media app and change "reserved pictures memory" to 0M. Even if you don't have a card, consider lowering the number to conserve memory. Savings = up to 10 MB.

(2) Delete the unnecessary language files. You can do it through options> advanced>applications, but the better, cleaner way to do it is through the apploader. When a new OS is installed on the PC (not the device) the .cod files are contained in the java folder at (for OS .69) program files/common files/research in motion/shared/loader files/8100-v4.2.0.69_P2.2.0.40.

There are approx. 400 files, if you only want english, delete any file with the following at the end of the file name: __pt, __pt_BR, __fr, __it, __de, __nl, __en_GB, __es, __es_MX, __ca, and __tr. Also delete all files with dynamic_ling (except for the English files). For os .69 there are a total of 186 language files totaling 12.4 MB that can be deleted in this manner. Plus, delete the .cod files for korean and semitic language support.

(3) Delete the .cod files with any themes (net_rim_theme_...) you don't use. BUT DO NOT DELETE THE ZEN THEME. By deleting the Cingular theme and the dimension icon theme I saved another MB.

(4) Delete the preloaded video, by deleting the .cod file: net_rim_bb_medialoader_video.cod. Savings = 2.4 MB.

(5) Delete the preloaded pictures by deleting the files: net_rim_bb_media_240x260_b.cod and net_rim_bb_media_100_240x260.cod. Savings = 3.5 MB.

(6) Delete the preloaded ringtones by deleting the file: net_rim_bb_profiles_tunes_tunebundles_tunes8700g.c od. Savings = 280k.

Total memory savings is about 30MB. If you don't use PTT on Cingular, delete those .cod files as well (they say ptt in them). If you don't play brickbreaker delete it. If you don't use the maps application delete it.

Keep in mind, however, that some strange things can happen when certain apps are deleted. For example, I deleted the memo pad and tasks on my 7130 and BBcorrector wouldn't work. It's probably best to follow these steps one at a time, so that you'll know which step to undo if a problem arises. Obviously, by messing with the OS files, you could turn your device into a nice Christmas tree ornament, and I take no responsibility if you do that. In discovering all of these steps, I bricked my device twice. However, I simply undid my previous step (i.e., restore some .cod files) reran the apploader and everything turned out fine.

No

[geekdaddy]

I don't see how you can use apploader to delete files on the blackberry. Spandumster -- can you elaborate?

[562pearl]

I use the desktop manager to uninstall the help files. Works fine.

Yes, the event log comes back. You can hide the logs but you can't stop the BB from logging.

I'm confused on how to delete files from the apploader. I went to my existing installation of the desktop manager/OS on my laptop and removed vendor.xml, but still don't get access to all of the files on the device.

I've just installed jibi's edited BlackBerry.alx file and there's a few themes I don't want. Do you know what .cod files belong to what theme? some of them say what they are and some of them are numbers like. net_rim_theme_114_240x260_b.cod
net_rim_theme_114_240x260_b.cod etc...

The numbered themes refer to the vendor IDs. I'm not sure off the top of my head which id belongs to which vendor. I know that Cingular is 102 and T-Mobile is 100. If you search, there's probably a thread that lists the ids for each vendor.

I ended up going back to the original BlackBerry.alx file. I didn't really like any of the themes anyway. Thank you anyway. Hopefully soon I'll be able to make my own theme.

Do you know which file is for the music demo? Its a pretty big file....500+ K!! Thx Mario8267

Im happy to report after using the suggestions here and editing the java folder in the c:\program files I was able to get rid of enough stuff to take my free mem from around 28meg to 44 meg. I was amazed and convinced I had deleted necessary stuff, but everything on the phone is working, from the phone itself to all emails, opera mini, gmail, google maps etc. I would be happy to post what I did as I made a backup of the original java folder first so I can see whats been removed. PM me if you want before and after copies.

When you run the desktop manager - click on application loader - thats how you uncheck or check whatever apps you want loaded.

I am also wondering about the help application. Don't need it, don't use it but what happens if I delete it?

You come here for help.

[LPeeples]

Maybe I'm missing something.... How do you delete the preinstalled media files? I can't seem to locate them. I did it before with the video and can't remember.

Along those lines, the file name still shows up in the Media app, but with zero bytes. Any way to remove that?

Also, with the language files, when I use DM, I don't see them. Only way I see to delete is to use the Pearl to delete them.

2. Download, and install to your PC, the OS for your BB from the link below. Then delete the vendor.xml file located in c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader. Then open desktop manager and run Application Loader again. It should recognize your software and you should be able to check and uncheck what you want and don't want.
