I was in another thread and I saw this....

Have you completed John Clarks memory thread? I have and I am running 25-30 MB free including apps that I have installed.

My question is this...

Does anyone have a stripped down version of the OS for a Sprint Pearl 8130 available for loading available?

While it would be a learning experience going through the guide and messing up and bricking my device, I would much rather capitalize on the experience of those that have gone before me and avoid an expensive and heartbreaking ordeal. AND I'd have the benefit of having 20-30MB free at all times.

So, can anyone provide?

TIA,
Dm

just curious as to what your file free currently is?

Just follow the man's guide, step by step. You Have to jump in the pool sometime. After doing this, with a few themes, viigo, espn, and opera, I have 22 Meg free on my pearl.

Ha ha haaaaa....

It's sitting at 13mb free.


That 20-30 mb free is sooo alluring.

I'm running at a 21 mb constant and I have a bunch of apps as well. The thread is a good tool.

i have a pearl and about seven games, always at least two to three extra themes, google maps, and that's about it. i usually have b/t 17.5 and 14mb free. battery pull always frees some up. and obviously you need to frequently clear your browser cache. these are things you just have to do on a regular basis. with 17.5 - 14mb my pearl works great.

i know how you feel - it would be great to have more. i may delete bb maps, help, and a few more but i don't really have to. good luck to you!

Crud, I was hoping you would provide.
I really don't want to wreck my little one

just create a backup before you do anything and you can always reload the backup if need be. no worries

Its nearly impossiblt to brick the phone from this, only thing that i did, after i got a little greedy, was removed the BBDimension ZEN, which is what the others are built from, and it just gave me black and white, then i moved the theme back and all was well. It seems like a very long read, but he is very in depth, and its worth it!

That is bar none, the best guide for BBs around. Except for Mr. Bean pickin anda grinnin..

see, even a guy(or gal) named PHONEBRKR could do it!! lol

[Gadgetgeek]

Detman, IMO its really best to follow the guide and do it yourself since you'll then be able to tailor your OS/content exactly as you desire vs. other folks choices & variations.

Im on Telus with the 8130 and deleting what is mentioned only frees up a tad. It seams the Americans have a lot more added into their phones us Canadians.

[detman101]

Well nevermind for now. All of my attempts at programming java applets or creating a stripped down OS are impossible right now.

I need some free time, I need to get away.
I need the me time.
Yeah...
