- ok just free'ed almost another mb of space,,, removing the extra fonts and stashing them in my removed folder
net_rim_font_european_sff.cod 126 k
net_rim_font_latin_truetype.cod 684 k
net_rim_font_semitic.cod 11 k
Do NOT take the all of them, you will need one for you BB to actually have something to use to show text or words. I left
net_rim_font_system.cod 47 k
I also changed my font to system, BEFORE I did this change.07-10-08 06:11 PMLike 0 - I don't know if it can be done, but the alarm_app does take up a tiny 18k,,, but I use mine so i haven't tried it...
I understand why I need 1 theme, but am curious why would I need both?
net_rim_theme_bbdimension_l_240x260_b.cod 58 k
net_rim_theme_bbdimension_zen_240x260_b.cod 1,842 k07-10-08 06:30 PMLike 0 - SevereDeceitSDAfter I optimize I just keep tabs on my free file, clear my cache, and delete messages that are of no importance. One problem I have noticed with BlackBerry owners' is that they never clear their web cache, or their SMS texts. It's not like back in the day when you had a cell and could let the messages pile up until you were full. Like McClure said, close out of your apps when finished. To properly close out of an app(for those who don't know), hit the menu button(button to the left of the trackball), scroll down to close and click it...07-10-08 06:51 PMLike 0

The Zen theme is required to remain on your Berry for normal operation!! It contains many pieces necessary for the OS UI!
Also, remember that once you remove any of these core net_rim_theme files you cannot use any third party theme of that style!! This does not bother me because I only use Zen themes anyhow07-10-08 07:03 PMLike 0 - After I optimize I just keep tabs on my free file, clear my cache, and delete messages that are of no importance.

Some apps cannot be completely closed... such as Home Screen, Phone, Messages and Browser. Other apps may also need to run in the background to work properly (such as alarm clock apps!)07-10-08 07:06 PMLike 0 - thanks, must have miss understood, the first part of stoner's guide,,, bummer though, I love the L, which happens to be the smaller of the two07-10-08 07:07 PMLike 0

In practice, a cache saves a huge amount of data downloading, particularly if you use the same sites frequently.
Clearing the cache frees up a maximum of 2 Mb. As soon as you click on a page, you get the full download of data. If it is cached, you get most of the data from the cache.
I think the BlackBerry geeks make good use of the space, I am quite happy to let them cache me.07-10-08 08:19 PMLike 0 - Reed McLayRetired ModeratorPity it can't be one or the other, but if the L theme is desirable, it is tiny enough to keep.

07-10-08 08:21 PMLike 0 - After trying out things out for a while, without 3 of the 4 fonts removed,,, I have decided to put 1 of them back on,,, many web pages just look a little weird, still workable, just look odd... After testing many pages, and apps,,, I would say:
Remove:
net_rim_font_latin_truetype.cod 684 k
net_rim_font_semitic.cod 11 k
optional remove, operators visual preference:
net_rim_font_european_sff.cod 126 k
Keep:

And, I quote, from a respected member of Adlen Forums (Tragedy)
Foreign Fonts
I doubt you need them, so look for: net_rim_font_korean.cod
Do not delete the Latin font, but any other foreign fonts. I myself, delete foreign anything, as I don't need them.
Sorry to disagree, but there has been testing and it is not the best to remove the latin font style07-11-08 06:15 PMLike 0 - amazinglygracelessRetired ModI just went into the Java folder and deleted those two fonts
and let DM do it's thing.
This is my result
That is the only font you will have and you will not be able to
access options > screen/keyboard
Now to put those files back07-11-08 08:15 PMLike 0 - Crucial_XtremeRetired ModeratorAmazinglygraceless is correct, and that is why Bmcclure informed you not to remove the font. But then again, your Berry-your choice.

07-11-08 08:43 PMLike 0 - inkwell,,, on your lost messages,,, there is a setting to automatically delete them after X amount of time has passed,,, go messages, options, general options, keep messages for XXX.
For a reduced memory, on a daily I see my 22mb drop to 15,,, I can do either a battery pull or clean out my internet cache (yes i do a lot of surfing) go browser, BB key, options, cache operations, I clear history, cache and pushed content,,, that takes me back up over 20
I would also like to personally thank Stoner, JeffH and everyone else who has contributed to this and many other invaluable threads. You have offered so much assistance to me... more than any user manual or sales associate could ever do. Stoner - after following your simple steps to freeing up memory my phone went from 12mb free after battery pull to over 21mb free!! How awesome is that?! Keep up the great work guys and gals. I aspire to one day be as knowledgeable as you - the best of the best - the KINGS of CRACK. Allow me to be the CRACK apprentice... I shall learn as I go, gatherings tid-bits of knowledge and wisdom that I can then share with the CRACK community. I shall be great, thanks to you.Last edited by ballinsol14; 07-11-08 at 11:28 PM.
