Now, if the program was an "OS Bloater" - then I'd support the opposite01-25-11 10:46 AMLike 0 - This app was modeled after the extremely successful SAOS application by Lyricidal, so it makes sense that it would behave the same way, and share a target audience. If anything, the audience for BB Boss would be the ones who want to pull even more out of their base installs and have more options. These would be the users that were tinkering with removing individual files one at a time after SAOS to see what else could be pulled out and still work.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com01-25-11 11:32 AMLike 0 - I agree with that suggest of hover over name descriptions, ill talk with the OP about it. MBP files are for ebooks and bluetooth file transfer is a cod that allows sending and receiving files via BT. The issue with the check and uncheck buttons is simple. SAOS and crackmem use same method. Seems everyone is so used to saos because bbh put a put back and shrink button. Our way of doing it is simpler, check to shrink and uncheck to put back. It also maximizes UI simplicity. Checking what to keep makes no sense in my eyes and it will confuse a ton of ppl.

Here's a very quick mock-up using Visual Basic:
As a programmer and recent BB Shrinker'er, this seems quite logical to me01-25-11 01:26 PMLike 0 - That could be a limitation of the GUI controls available - a checkbox is just that, it "checks" when selected. There may be some custom checkbox controls out there that permit a X symbol instead - it would make things more "obvious". Perhaps, the checkbox could be retained, but the actual app name/description is greyed-out when you tick it, ie: selecting it for removal greys-out the words.

- Just did a full wipe and install of 6.0.448. I used BB Boss to eliminate nearly everything, but still found a surprising amount of crap installed itself.
These are the files that I'd love to see eliminated/eliminatable:
World Series of Poker Demo (I know it's just a link, but I want it gone!)
Bubble Bash Demo (Same as above)
Mobile Backup (I know I had this one checked in BB Boss)
Zoompass (Might get pushed from the provider anyhow)
Rogers Shop (Same as Zoompass)
Yahoo! Messaging (Had this checked in BB Boss)
Google Talk (Had this checked in BB Boss)
Voice Notes (I definitely had this checked in BB Boss)
Also, there was definitely an intro video of some sort that tried to play itself when I first started the phone with the new OS - despite having Startup Video/Music checked in BB Boss.
How do we get these to go away using BB Boss? Seems something's stopping that from happening right now!
Good job, though!

01-25-11 07:43 PMLike 0 - The "Junk" folder option has been my go-to for years, it gets the job done.
I have my doubts that WSOP, Bubble Bash, Google Chat, and Yahoo IM are pushed by Rogers, particularly since they are present before the wireless connection is ever enabled.
I ZoomPass and Rogers Shop are clearly pushed...no question there.
Why, though, does Mobile Backup and Voice notes remain, even when checked in the system? Why is there a video even when I've checked the option to eliminate it? I'm more inclined to think it's BB Boss not actually pulling them...no knock on the software, consider this to be a bug report, if anything.01-25-11 09:03 PMLike 0 -
- Hi guys,
I have been trying to use it but it keeps on giving me a message that it could not find the files to open… I connected my BB before and after I started the program and it cannot find it. Is there anything that I am doing incorrectly?
Could you please explain briefly how to use it?

I'd suggest you temporarily increase your screen resolution so you can see the whole thing. Do your shrink and then set it back to your normal resolution.01-27-11 11:44 AMLike 0 - hello people, i have a small problem, bb boss os shrinker does not fully show on my netbook, it's like half of the window is cut off, like the bottom part of it.

Also it looks like Windows 7, try to click and hold to drag the window to one of the sides to see if it will maximize to one half of the screen.Last edited by lnchbx13; 01-27-11 at 11:46 AM. Reason: added more info
01-27-11 11:44 AMLike 0 - Ok, just a quick update here.
The Startup video problem has been fixed and will be in the next update.
I am aware of the problem with the screen resolution and am working on adding DPI awareness to to app to alleviate this issue.
Stay tuned for the new version.
