I wonder if it is possible to remove the preinstalled wallpapers, ringtones etc. and keep only the ones you use/like?
has anyone succeed so far?

[laurentio]

I can't believe that no one knows how it can be done. I do remember seeing a thread regarding this preinstalled content removal but I can't find it anymore...

in addition to all this....clear out your mms/sms ins/outs, missed calls, etc...

i also clear out alot of words that are auto-added into the custom words list. i found alot of them get input when i mispell, as well as first and last names of people i got email from, etc....

[laurentio]

Thanks to pkittie i have found two ways of removing the pre-installed content:

The easy way - using the desktop manager:

The hard way - editing the .alx file:

I also clear out the log file which seems to give my berry a renewed vitality:

Hold down the ALT key and type lglg.

I did all you have to do is just download either e-file or mobiexplorer, whichever works for you. I recommend efile from those money hungry assholes from dynoplex. Cuz its the only free thing they have......anyway....and find the picture or song in I think system, internal..yadayada, then press the menu key and click attributes. Uncheck' read only'..save..exit and finally go to the picture or whatever you clicked on and hit the ol' delete key!! And there you go...

[top dogxxx]

[Impaler80s]

Awesome...glad someone responded recently...got rid of the other languages, the sample vid, and the logs, and went from 19MB free to 26MB free. Sweet.
