hello you guys! Thanks for the great post and how to free up memories that are more useful. I am trying to save my PIN# into another folder, but found 2 items: pin#.CFG or only the pin#. Which do I copy to? and what does the CFG stand for at the end of the pin #? thanks
I am not sure if anyone have read this, but I have waited 2 weeks and no one response. Please help?

Hello! I have gotten to step 4: add all themes and got stuck!!! I can't open the file: blackberry.alx in the folder of "8310-v4.2.2.170-p2.5.030." It says Window can't open this file: file: blackberry.alx to open this file, windows needs to know what program you want to use to open it. thanks for help!!!!!!!

I answered that just 3 posts up...Use NotePad.

[whataday]

I try to right click on the file, but it only says "open", not open with???

[John Clark]

In the folder go up to "Tools" and select "Folder Options" then "File Types." Scroll down to "alx" and change the "opens with" program for alx to Notepad.

thanks! I just opened it with the window and I'm deleting it. I'm using Vista, can I still save it? or do I have to save it?

[John Clark]

Sorry, I just noticed your question was about the blackberry.alx file. You need to change the file type for .alx (not xml--my bad)

You don't want to delete the Blackberry.alx

In Vista you'll need to save it to another location like the desktop. Then copy the file back to the original location. The wonders of Windows Vista.

after saving it to another location like the desktop, how to copy the file back to the orginal location, which folder are you talking about now?

[whataday]

after I make all those changes in the .alx files, copy onto the desktop, and then copy the file back? How do I do that?

Thanks for the tips.

One question, I did this with the latest OS, will I need to go through this every time I upgrade my OS?

Nobody has any ideas how to get BB Maps to work with AT&T and 4.5 OS??? I can send someone the files if they don't have them and would like to look at it to figure out what is needed to be changed.

I would really appreciate if someone could help me out with this

[JSanders]

AUtigers, in many cases, you are required by ATT to have a Service Book pushed from them for BBMaps to operate.

I'm using BB maps with ATT but no 4.5. The only thing I've noticed is theres no voice directions, But I guess thats a trait of BBMaps.

And thanks for the help John. 30mb free and lovin' it!

[bartman007]

i am no xpert at this stuff but the directions seemed Ok until I had edited the first file, even saving as a copy i am not allowed to save the edit. I tried the vista tip in there but it didn't help. Anyone else have this and got an answer?
Please and thankyou,
Bart
PS hi all I am newbie

Did this stuff with my 8830 months ago and it worked great, now completed with my new 8330, looking at just over 49MB free!

I dont know why I'm having a hard time with this. I have an AT&T Pearl 8120 and I went to the BB site to download the OS. So I click the arrow and it brings up all the programs in the drop down box. I downloaded the BB 8120 (TM) under PTT EMR Patch. Is that the correct one or am I overlooking it? So I downloaded that and went into the apploader folder and its a Set up icon with nothing to do with OS. Anyone have directions for idiots?? What am I doing wrong, besides everything?!

[John Clark]

You should be downloading the Handheld Device Software (OS) for your 8120--not a PTT EMR Patch.

I was having some trouble with my SMS messaging having a SERIOUS delay while I was entering text. I was searching through forums and I found this and thought I'd read just out of curiosity. Your instructions for getting the ATT theme off, adding BB maps, and eliminating PTT and VAD were fabulous!!! After following the steps, not worrying about messing up my phone because of the way you explained everything, I can happily say that I feel like I have a new phone again! I had started getting errors about not having enough memory for the camera even though nothing was running, and my battery was dying in hours...I even thought it was just the battery and bought a new one. Now everything is running at lightning speed and I have 35MB of memory available!!! Thank you so much!!!

I. Love. You.
