Instructions for installing on ANY carrier's 8130:
1. Download the above OS file to the PC then install it to the PC by running (double clicking) the file you downloaded.
2. Go to c:\program files\common files\research in motion\apploader and delete the file named "vendor.xml."
3. Plug in BB and double click on "Loader.exe." It's located in the same place as the above vendor.xml file.
The process takes about 45 minutes to an hour depending on how much data you have to backup and restore during the process. Once it's done loading the new OS it will reboot (it may do this twice during the entire process.) You will see a white screen with an hourglass for up to 20 minutes at a time while the DM says "waiting for initialization."
If, for some reason, you end up with a white screen with small icons and the number 507, simply connect to the PC again and run Loader.exe again and it should load the OS to the device.
How to determine if you have an ESN or MEID based device.
From the main menu, select Options, then select Status. ESN devices - On the Status screen you will see ESN on the display MEID devices � On the Status screen you will see MEID on the display. NOTE � You cannot install ESN-based software on a MEID device, nor can you install MEID-based software on an ESN device. They are NOT interchangeable.

Reason: Change title
I wonder if this gets rid of the lag when you press a button to turn on the display - that's my only real problem with .131. Otherwise, memory has been much more stable.
I'll keep an eye on this one... I sometimes have complete phone lag on .131. And its not memory issues either. Running a stripped version, and file free is 23+ after reboot. But I'll wait for more feedback before updating

Well after almost a full day of use the battery life is still the same. I have no lag, and a slight memory increase (nothing crazy but a slight improvement). So far so good.
Is anyone else getting 'error reading setup initialization file' when trying to run the setup installer? I'm on an up to date install of windows vista 32. Any help is appreciated.

Can you list some of the non-obvious stuff you deleted from the Java folder? is there a safe-to-delete post around here somewhere? I know the basic stuff like vendor themes and VAD, i need more though!
After using this for almost a full day now, I haven't really noticed much difference between this version and .131. I have noticed that I am not experiencing that lag when the phone comes out of sleep mode after being idle which is worth the update in my mind.
I'm running Verizon 4.5.0.77. I deleted the Vendor.xml file. When I hit Loader.exe on this new download I'm not offered the option to update the device software, it states that I'm running 4.5.0
Any ideas how to resolve this?

I upgraded last night and I noticed a big difference in my file free. So for I like it, especially the media player change. Does anyone know how to delete the sprint navigator and on demand apps? I didnt see the option to not load them when I upgraded and I dont use them and want them gone.

Those are pushed to your phone from Sprint. You can delete there respective service books but they will come back. The best thing to do is hide them or put them in a folder like I did.
After installing this latest release, I noticed that my "About" menu under Options does not open. Has anyone else noticed this, or did the software just not install properly on my phone?

I'm getting the exact same problem. I did some tinkering with CrackMem, but this hadn't been a problem for me with the VZW 4.5.0.77 os
