With the memory limitations of the Curve...I want to remove all the unwanted apps that I will never use and that waste precious space. But...I am not a techie at all, and am almost intimidated by the thought of hacking...
Can someone baby-step-tutorial me through the way to remove this AT&T app from my Curve?

Thanks, Audit for your help.
Finally removed the PTT app.
I can't get the javaloader to work on Command Prompt.
so this is what I did:
1. install the OS ( Again Thank you very much Audit for the links, I have been asking this question since I got the phone and no one gave me the right answer till you did.)
2. go to the Shared folder ( buried deep inside the Program Files=> Common Files=> Research In Motion )
a. in Program Files choose "Common Files" folder !!warning!!DO NOT CHOOSE "Research in Motion" folder in Program Files.!!warning!! ,
see part 2b below
b.After inside Common Files folder, then Choose "Research In Motion" folder.
c. go to "Shared" folder
3. go to Loader Files
4. go to the 8310 v4.2 something..something folder
5. go to Java folder
6. delete the 2 files mentioned above:
-net_rim_bb_phone_ptt_app.cod
-KnJCDE.cod
7. Run the Application Loader for DM
8. don't choose anything, just click "next"
9. on the next page, the App loader should inform to remove the PTT apps ( should be 2 files that we delete on step # 6)
10. check your Curve to make sure it is deleted !! YaY
Got almost extra ~1MB free memoryLast edited by Optimus_Prime; 05-09-08 at 03:39 AM. Reason: additional steps/ info for step 2 & 6
11-26-07 12:35 PM - Thank you, Optimus Prime...somebody finally shared a non-techie step-by-step tutorial.
I'll do it tonight after work. Much appreciation.
BTW...another app to delete directly from the phone is the useless BlackBerry Video Sample app. It frees up an amazing amount of memory...try it.

Got almost extra ~1MB free memory11-27-07 12:33 PM - After all my raving about removing PTT, I decided to leave well enough alone...at least for now. I have almost 24mb of free space available already...and that's better than some, and plenty to make room for anything else I might want to add in the future.
Plus, I am such a techno-dork...that I don't trust myself with any hacking.
11-28-07 06:32 AM - Ya, I have always hid the app on my home screen, but i'm saying that it's always running. When I go to the app switcher it's there. If i click on it I cannot quit it. It states PTT charges may apply if I initialize... so I'm hesitant to even open the app since i don't have a PTT plan.
Just hide it on the desktop06-11-08 07:57 AM
If you can instruct me better via PM...I'm open to that.
