CrackBurglar's Custom Storm OS load

[CrackBurglar]

The document has been amended to include restoring a Full, Partial backup, as well as restoring your 3rd party applications.

Hope this helps.

Wow! I just upgraded to .151 and I'm thoroughly impressed! About 10 MB of application memory was returned to me not to mention my phone runs twice as fast and a lot smoother. The colors are vibrant as well. For those who are skeptical about upgrading to .151, I highly recommend doing so.

[CrackBurglar]

Right on !

Want to congratulate and thank CrackBurglar for supervising the loading of v/151 to my 9530 today. He was able to techinline the entire process. As I followed along, I was quite impressed with all the steps he had to take to perform the download. All the while I kept thinking of the meticulous step by step instructional format he wrote and posted and kept reminding myself it was more complicated than when reading it. I commend his skills of supervision or solution based help anytime. He deserves recognition from the CB community for taking personal time to help another BB user. It is one thing to write a summary of how to do it, but only yeoman of masters would take time to do what he did for me today.
Thank you CrackBurglar for being a model citizen in this forum.
Lastly, while he performed, I kept thinking, this is what it felt like at 14 to drive that three speed/clutch/58 Chev the first time.
App mem has been around 58 all day. Battery hovers 95%, and radio quality much improved over 148. Responsive and quick to get into and out of pages. Even the accelorometer is working...In essence, a new phone sits in my hands..

Excellent work! Good to see it got stickified

[CrackBurglar]

Thank You for the recognition! I have a lot of fun helping out. Its like I'm trying to give back for the help, time and caring that others gave me just 4 short months ago when I got m 1st bb. When I was a kid I was taught to give back more than I took, so that's what I plan to do!

I'm a Computer Systems Administrator for about 160 people across 8 sites. So picking up an learning the BB was a bit of a bump in the road for me. Now I also host a BlackBerry Enterprise Server for the administrators where I work.

Thanks again!

Teaching giving back and practicing it is a superb skill. Getting 1st BB 4 months ago and knowing how to do what you did this morning is called being gifted and talented. I continue to admire your modeling of helpfulness especially in a public community like this one. I added you my buddy list but have no idea what that eventually will do.

Help with #6
I dont have a shared folder in my RIM. Mine looks like this
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Research In Motion\
app loader
auto update
BBBI drivers
BBwebSlauncher
modem drivers
rim device manager
usb drivers

Do I need to worry? I'm on XP.

That sounds like you don't have a Phone OS loaded on your system.

You may have downloaded it, but may have not installed it.

I loaded OS .151 as advised and all went well. I tested it couple of times. Then I changed the theme from Precision Zen... :{

Now it shows only three rows and does not expand. When I press menu it shows very few options and most of them are not functioning. I cannot reach option tab to change theme. Response time is too slow and when I press menu couple of time it crashes with error message “APP Error 523”. I have rebooted couple of times and it didn’t help.

BTW I have not done step 11 as when it rebooted I could see from options that .151 has been loaded (9530-v4.7.0.151_P4.0.0.186)

Is there a way to fix or do I have to do it all over. If yes please advice from which step I should continue or is there any precaution I need to take.

[AleeJ007]

ok I did everything to the letter but when I run the apploader only my 3rd party apps show up none of the core apps are on the list
(I'm beginning to think I'm not meant to have .151)

if this doesn't work im gonna jump out my window.
