Deleting OEM wallpapers to gain 5MB of memory
-
- Do a battery pull afterwards. That should clear the media cache for the files.
I would do a javaloader -u dir and check that it's not there. Also, make sure you specify the .cod extension on the delete command. Dropping that off will cause the filename not to match up since javaloader wants an exact filename.
You're screwed because you can't use javaloader without a DOS prompt. You could always run Windows in Parallels and do it that way.
For everyone else, the FAQ section of the CB forums has instructions on how to use javaloader and other BB utils to accomplish this type of stuff. I suggest spending a bit of time reading through those threads because if you don't know how to do this... you're probably not ready to try to do it.11-28-08 08:09 AMLike 0 - I noticed that there is a movie trailer stored in system memory 18 mb and a loy of ringtones that came with the storm in system memory. They should have been moved to the card on onboard. How can I get rid of those and move them to the card? Is it the same way as above? BTW I cant delete using the alternative to civics method due to no option being there to delete.

I only get a delete option if I bring up the menu on the "Samples" folder one level up, but then I assume I'd be deleting all the ringtones, folder icons, and other things I don't really want to delete.11-28-08 12:53 PMLike 0 - still doesn't work for me. Went to system/samples, then highlighted the 'pictures' folder, menu key... no delete option.

Some of the storms, you can, looks like some you can not without losing your tones also.. As soon as I find the .cod file, I'll post the long and winding road to actually removing them..11-28-08 02:48 PMLike 0 - Well I wish i had seen this prior to deleting the sample folder.. I have noticed I have no ringtones... How do I get them back??? Please help11-28-08 03:15 PMLike 0

- ok so this is really irritating me. I did what everyone else did. Im trying to get my ringtones back, have followed all this stuff, and still dont have them. Like a dumb ***, I didnt back it up before i did it soooooooooo Im assuming, backing it up wont do anything since even if i do get the ringtones back, it'll delete them aagain???
please help.11-28-08 09:07 PMLike 0 - ok so this is really irritating me. I did what everyone else did. Im trying to get my ringtones back, have followed all this stuff, and still dont have them.

For you, in a thread about removing VAD, I put up reloading the
Whole OS directions, you can do a selective restore after the reload....

- I'm still looking for some actual help on this.
1. The original file posted by civic doesn't exist on my phone. I used javaloader to list everything and saved the output to a file.
2. I can't delete just the pictures folder in system/samples. I can delete the whole samples folder, but that removes ringtones and everything else so I'm not doing that either.
3. I'm on vista, so when I install the 4.7 OS (9530AMEA_PBr4_1.7.0_rel92_PL4.0.0.82_A4.7.0.65_Ve rizon_Wireless), it puts the files somewhere that I cant find for the life of me. I've done searches on my entire C: drive for *.cod and *.msi (since it says it's extracting ***_9530.msi sometime during the installation)
It shows that I can remove the installation in my control panel, but when I show details and add 'location', it doesn't show a location.
So, with all the responses telling us what to do, nobody has actually said something that turns out to be real (at least for me)... and that makes me a sad panda.
I'm not calling this whole thread a bust just yet, I'm still holding out for some useful info, but I'm starting to lose faith that this can be done by someone without more intimate knowledge of the system than I have.11-29-08 11:44 AMLike 0 - I'm still looking for some actual help on this.

my computer > c: > program files > COMMON FILES > research in motion > shared > loader files.....
I'm gonna guess that your missing the common files, then the research in motion takes you to desktop manager.
BTW, I still haven't found just the pics either, the file that Civic references IS 5m, but it's not the wallpapers..11-29-08 12:06 PMLike 0 - Yep, I gotta agree Civic... I initially thanked you for the information (and still do appreciate it) before I actually tried it. I was able to successfully delete the file you mentioned and then my device rebooted. When I checked the samples folder they were still there. I tried a battery pull, but it did not help.11-29-08 12:23 PMLike 0
