im toying with this right now, only remove sprint junk and i have 40 free on storage :lol: i think ill wait a little longer,, this kinda complicated for me,, but for now i wont have to unintall junk everytime i hard reset. :lol:

Do you actually need to remove the CABs from the ROM you don't use? Or is it sufficient to just not have them listed in your config.txt?

back when i had my 6700 i did both...removed the cabs and edited the config.txt then performed a hard reset. BUT...and this is a big one...you gain more space by letting them install then going into the extended rom and manually installing them thus creating an uninstall option as it was originally intended...make sure if you go and manually install the apps that you clear out every folder/file associated with those apps to free up the memory otherwise you're just pissing in the wind so to speak.

removing from the config.txt would work, since that's what it goes by when installing the apps.

I think we are talking about two different things. If I just want to get rid of junk, then I can just edit the config.txt. If I want to do that PLUS gain space on the ROM to use. then I can install and uninstall or simply just delete from the ROM without installing. Right?

you can delete the .cabs to gain space, but only delete the ones that are not needed.

Is this the same method as that which has been over at PDAphonehome for a while now? Just curious.

you got me I rarely stop by there, and havent seen a tutorial like this. I may be wrong, but dont get his tutorial mixed with the junkware removal one, because this is different. We do a have a remove junkware tutorial also. ;)

somehow I got the feeling that I deleted something I wasn't supposed to. LOL I acnt send txt mssgs or acess phone settings. I get a mssg saying phone phone is not ready wait 15 sec.

ugh oh. Check the ext rom using TC and make sure u have what I recommend u leave in the ext. surely that's what ur problem is. ;)
