4. install BBSAK v1.7 found at rimgeeks.com (or someplace on here maybe)
5. install ShrinkaOS.

6. find BBSAK in your program files folder (navigate to it don't use start menu) and right click on the exe file run as admin. Backup your apps, wait for it! the popup comes up fast but the backup hasn't even started, watch phone.

7. do not disconnect your pone, close BBSAK open ShrinkaOS the same way, navigate to exe and rightclick run as admin do not right click on shortcut and run. At the top is a navigation window/line to find your OS, use that to find the OS you just installed, check off anything you want shrunk out, even if Mr.X shrunk it already just do it... click on the large, "shrink my OS" button at bottom.
8. NOW, do not disconnect, instead click "load os" from shrink window. a loader window comes up, check the parts you need like docs to go, notes, bbm etc. then run it.

This works everytime. let me know.

Ok where are we at with your attempts? Can you explain your steps so we can try to find the gap?

Wirelessly posted (Opera/9.80 (BlackBerry; Opera Mini/5.1.21052/19.886; U; en) Presto/2.5.25)

After reading this thread, I feel a little bit up to speed.

Just remember that 732 is the latest version available for the Tour, its a Verizon official and IMO the best version yet.

mr mindfrost, is that what you're using on your tour now? if installing another carrier's official tour OS, wouldn't that install their proprietary/bloatware apps as well?

I'm actually running a Driphter hybrid of 772 (DV12 or something like that), but yeah, I ran the official release for a while too.

With Blackberry, the bloatware comes over once it registers itself on the network and pulls the service books. Even though its a Verizon OS, all the Sprint stuff came over once it connected to BIS. I got the Sprint theme, TV, NFL, NASCAR, etc.

The only way to avoid the bloatware is to selectively pick service books to pull, which I haven't looked into.

With Sprint, all those apps are just shortcuts to the download links, so they're not taking up much space at all and you can always hide them so you don't see them.

thanks for the info!

Yep, I just hide them. So long as you don't click/install you're just hiding an icon.

I make a folder called 'useless' (LOL) and then drag all my junk icons into that then hide the folder.

Just delete the vendor xml and you're good to go.

Frosty has answered the rest.
