CrackMem v2.1 is now released.
Please download it from the OP. There's a little explanation of what's changed there too.
Thanks
Pete

I am reluctant to duplicate removals that can be accomplished in Desktop Manager since I reckon that RIM does a better job than me in not installing apps.
What I am trying to is to get the major surplus memory hogs off the phone.
I am not really trying to offer a right-down-to-the-byte configuration service. | Understood.
Wouldn't they just be reestablished once the service book were
resent if, in fact, there was a way to remove them?
Edit: I wonder if we can have technical support remove them
from my device specific service book file so they will never be sent
...hmmm. I will call and report back.

As it happens, I had an occasion to try Put it Back and discovered that too.
I will test the new version now. |

OK,
This is very simple.
HOW TO REMOVE SHOP APPLICATIONS
From your device you will:
Options > Advanced Options > Service Book
Here you will find a list of the service books RIM sends to
your device WHICH ARE ONLY SENT UPON REQUEST.
This way this method doesn't need to be done often,
unless you request your service books
This will not effect any other applications on your device.
It will simply, and only, remove the shopping apps,
thus help somewhate with memory but more importantly
just getting those dang things of your phone!
Depending upon your carrier the service books will look
something similiar to this:
AT&T:
Media Mall - Streaming Music [BrowserConfig]
Media Mall - MusicID [BrowserConfig]
Media Mall - Theme [BrowserConfig]
Media Mall - Applications [BrowserConfig]
Media Mall - Multimedia [BrowserConfig]
Media Mall - Graphics [BrowserConfig]
Media Mall - Games [BrowserConfig]
Media Mall - Shop Tones [BrowserConfig]
Media Mall - Music [BrowserConfig]
Media Mall - Community [BrowserConfig]
Media Mall - Tunes [BrowserConfig]
From here, simply hit the menu button then delete.
In further research, I contacted my carrier (AT&T) and RIM technical
support and product management and all 4 departments have
confirmed that you, nor they, CAN NOT configure/edit your service
book database because they are required applications to be sent to
your device. So apparently, if you need to request the service books,
you just simply go through this process to remove them again.
Note: You can also just hide the icons if that is your preference.
These are not applications, they are simply "links" or commands
to your device that prompts it to perform certain actions through
the network.
For technical purposes, they take up very little memory and they
use in total about 1RAM per action.

Maybe creating an "Advanced" tab/button
for this would be good

CrackMem v2.2 is now uploaded. I have added
- remove tty (happy iamjoel5? )
- added to help text
- changed the look from vertical to horizonal panel to gove more space
- fixed non-working Put It Back button
Download it and use it as you wish.
The main reason for 'going horizontal' was to get more space in the Select Module Removal panel.
Right now there is room for one more but if I squeeze the items up vertically I could get a few more in.

This is also why I have put in buttons to confirm choices complete with visial responses. A person needing support can now give positive responses. I pressed the big button and go this red message saying 8310_.... It makes it much easier for the guy trying to help.
Now we have a single program that will carry out all the neccessary tasks in a way that a supporter can verify each stage.
It is the nice friendly color for that reason too.
If you check the help file now it gives full instructions for upgrading an OS.
