John, not sure you got a chance to answer my question.

John, thanks a bunch for this. Great help.
Question though.

I have the 8130 with Telus in Canada.
After doing what you mentioned, and even deleting VAD, I only have 16 MB free. I have looked, I have a few apps installed that are large, Opera Mini, Facebook, Jive Talk, Google Maps.

I don't have a lot of contacts or messages. When I load the phone with DM, says its loading about 33MB of stuff when updating, plus give or take a few MBs of my apps and databases (which are 700KB, btw.) Should it be that high with 33mb?

Any idea what else is there that is taking up so much?
Also, Im running the .97 OS.

Sprint doesn't allow MMS on their BlackBerrys but they do have it on pretty much every other phone. If I install an OS from a carrier other than Sprint will I have the ability to send MMS?

[John Clark]

No. It's carrier dependent. Not OS dependent.

That's about right. I don't know what else you have saved on your device. How big is your content store database?

Well I did it and now have 28536050 Bytes free space.
All seems to be working I kept voice activation but removed PPT.
The only problem is BB Maps is missing in the applications on the DM. I looked at the code and it is the same as the instructions
What should I do to try and retrieve it from the code.

On 4.2 and lower devices the lbs.alx needs to be edited as posted above. That should be all that's necessary.

I will re check to see if I edited it right.
I thought I was the only person that does not sleep....LOL

I finally took the plunge last night. I gained some memory but until I delete a bunch of gps/map apps, I guess my memory will be impaired. I will put back the cod that allows folders to be colored - I liked having a green (forest cover) for gps/mapping apps, purple for games and yellow for Utilities.

edit: I added back the module that allows colored folders. DM immediately recognized it was added back before I even went to the application update. I was surprised that after DM did its thing that the BB rebooted (hour glass, verizon security check, etc) but my folders were still all the same color. I then used the Soft-reset program to reboot again - colored folders were back. So, I gather, doing a "major" remodel of the modules does not cause a full reset???

My content store database is 25/579.5K.
Total database sizes for all is 1.3MB.

So if we add 33MB (that includes all my 3rd party apps) and 1.3MB, we are at 34ish.

50 - 34 = 16.

I even got rid of latin suretype cod, which was 700K.

I just don't get it. People say they have 20 something available, yet we all have 64MB space. Im deleting everything possible!

[John Clark]

Only 55Mb of space is reported in the OS's even though there is 64Mb. Older OS's report the full 64 but the newer ones report 55.

If you delete all language cod except for English this will not cause a problem
When you use DM applications and uninstall that way I guess it still keeps the cod in the system has KB?

[John Clark]

If you use DM applications it doesn't load those other .cods to the device. You don't have to remove them from the java folder. If you just check English in DM you will only get English .cod's.

55? I says I only have 50 with the .97 firmware.

Any other ideas of what could be taking up my memory? I'm not crazy right, something doesn't seem to be correct here?

If it reports 50 and tells you 33 is being installed then 16Mb or so, is correct. I don't know what they do with the other 10-15Mb they don't report.

Hi, can I have this in the "for dummies" version? Heh.

[John Clark]

Um...this is the "for dummies" version. It's pretty well guided all the way through.

[openlate]

Well I am going to do some more research and try to figure out what's going on with Canada BB's, maybe it's something in the water, haha.

Will update when possible.
