Removing the unwanted stuff...
- I just got my new 9700 and it comes pre-loaded with a bunch of pics that are locked and I would like to delete them. Also, there are a few programs in my download folder that I can't seem to find a way to delete them. I'm only given the option to hide. Any suggestions/tips for removing the unwanted stuff will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again.11-13-09 07:18 PMLike 0 - 11-13-09 08:02 PMLike 0
- Make a new folder for the useless junk pushed by your carrier. Then there is not all the clutter in your useful folders.

- Thanks for all the replies. I've already deleted what I was able to using the regular procedures but there are still pics, very useless pics, that are locked and cannot be removed. The program I was looking for was MaxMem and I DLed, and tried to get the pics removed but it just didn't work.
I'm wondering if a J-L Cmdr wipe and reinstall of the latest non-Tmo OS 5 will help? Anyway, thanks again for everyone that threw suggestions my way. All appreciated.11-14-09 10:14 AMLike 0 - Thanks for all the replies.

The files that manage images changed with Bold and the 8900. Those models can be managed with Pete6's CrackMem. Check it out, it may work for yours too.

Thanks.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com11-15-09 07:25 AMLike 0 - I'm going to have to download and try again. I'm trying to hit this from every angle and I'm hitting walls.
11-15-09 09:03 AMLike 0 - No go with MaxMem. DLed again and tried and it doesn't seem to work for me.
I'd like to give CrackMem a try but when I start it, it asks me to choose an operating system. Seeing that that this is a new BB and Ive never done an OPS update I don't have anything on the list to choose from. What's the work around for that?
Thanks.11-15-09 09:38 AMLike 0 - amazinglygracelessRetired ModYour current issue with CrackMem is that you do not have an OS installed on your
PC, therefore it has nothing to point. Use the disk that came with your device
to put the OS and Desktop Manager (if you need to) on your computer.11-15-09 09:44 AMLike 0 - Never thought to do that. I've always installed DM from the BB site. Going to give that a try and see if that helps. All suggestions are super appreciated.
Thanks!
11-15-09 01:48 PMLike 0 - Just did an install of DM from the included CD and CrackMem still doesn't see an OS. Another missed shot.11-15-09 02:04 PMLike 0
- I've been following this thread and decided to try this too. Here's what I did: googled MaxMem and downloaded to my phone. The program and icon can be found in the downloads folder on your phone. Click on the icon and follow all the prompts given. You will then be given a menu of choices and choose to uninstall preloaded wallpaper. Follow the prompts by clicking "yes" and the phone will reboot. After the restart, go to the preloaded wallpaper folder and double check that they are gone. Then delete Maxmem from your phone through apps as you would any other program. Worked well for me and gave me a good bump in memory.
Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com11-15-09 03:34 PMLike 0 - Believe me, if MaxMem would have worked for me this thread wouldn't be at long as it is. I tried doing what you suggested a few times and got no where. But I'm a glutton for punishment so I will try again.

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com11-15-09 04:03 PMLike 0 - I tried again and failed again. But I have a feeling that I've been totally inaccurate with what I'm really looking to do. I guess instead of saying that I'm looking to delete "pictures" I should say that I'm looking to rid the BB of all the MyFaves icons and MyFaves frames. Perhaps this more accurate description will be more helpful.
In either case, I again want to thank everyone that has posted their suggestions and tips. I totally appreciate the time and effort to help.11-15-09 04:51 PMLike 0
