Ok, I'm a newbie, but I've searched & read for hours now about fixing my memory problems and upgrading my OS. I'm on vzw & I have the 8130, currently running the .77 OS. I only have a couple of small apps and do a battery pull every couple of days. I have done very basic memory recovery (del help, languages, etc) and my mem hovers around 15. Oh, and I put all media on my card. I'd like to run some more mem intensive apps, so I'm getting ready to take the plunge, as nervous as I am, and do a more intensive mem recover via my PC, so why not upgrade while I'm at it, right?
Ok, to the point, my questions are, does the .131 do the best job with mem stability of the versions available? is there anything I should know about using an OS set up for a different carrier, or will my berry just resend any info (see how tech advanced I am, ha), and the directions seem pretty straight forward, but I'm a nervous, if I back everything up its pretty safe right? I guess I need a little push
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com04-25-09 10:59 PM - i run .77 os and i've had very few memory issues - till i downloaded the new facebook app that is. lol, but that aside, i deleted the following:
-voice activated dialing
-verizon default theme
-blackberry sample video
-korean, chinese, japanese font/language support
-help
-brickbreaker
-docs to go (don't use it)
-password keeper
-*edit* bbmaps
and in its place i run these apps
-ubertwitter
-crackberry app store application
-slacker radio
-aim
-gtalk
-google maps
-bejewelled
-vymail
-facebook (1.2 was not quite the memory hog that 1.5 has proven to be)
-hedone hawker's osx like theme
my memory would drop to about 12 or 13 mb by the end of the day, but nothing too terrible. (i also have all my media on a memory card, etc)
hope this helps, but in short, .77 has worked out fine with me and i haven't needed to upgrade, but .131 might be better for you
also, though it sounds like you've checked it out i'm going to post it anyway, a link to reed mclay's thread on memory optimization

04-25-09 11:41 PM - oh! i forgot to mention that i also deleted bb maps, which i dont use since verizon blocked gps on the pearl (so i'm guessing you don't use it much either
)
something you might want to consider doing is wiping your phone, and then reinstalling the OS. i did that once, and i think perhaps i just got a chunky version the first time i installed 4.5 or something lol but after that, it ran much much smoother.
definitely delete VAD if you don't use it, but just a mention (which reed also covers), it does something funny to the "about" section under options. but i don't use it much lol04-26-09 12:08 AM
