Step by Step: Deleting Demo Games and/or Stock Applications

[pineapple_grower]

1. Connect Vu with EFS, Instructions Here: [Link]

2. Navigate to /LGAPP/Media/Java/ams

3. All the "M" numbered folders each correspond to a separate game or app installed

4. Open a Folder and download the 01.png and open it (This icon corresponds to the app or game that is installed there, alternatively, you can see the bottom of this post to identify all apps/games)

5. Once you find the icon that matches the app or game you want to delete, delete the entire "M..." folder

5a. (OPTIONAL STEP) You can also delete the corresponding "M.." folders in the rms folder and backup folder as well  (Thanks EMT Shadow!)

(Repeat steps 7 & 8 as many times as needed)

6. Now click on the folder /ams/ There should be a file named "_folder_db_"     Delete it

7. Restart Phone

8. REJOICE, Now there are no more demos!!

This is....AWESOME!  Great job!

A couple of things, I also deleted the corresponding folders in the rms folder and backup folder, just to be safe. 

Also, I was looking for a file named "_folder_db_ Delete It".  In fact there is none, you need to delete the file named "_folder_db_".

Just to make it easier on people, here are the folders that were on my phone, may be different on yours:
M000 Mobile E-mail
M001 Billboard??
M002 XM Radio
M003 Music ID (I think)
M004 InStyle
M005 MySpace
M006 Weather
M007 Movies
M008 Bejeweled
M009 Jewel Quest
M010 NY Nights
M011 Midnight Pool
M012 World Series of Poker

All the apps/games I installed were in the M020's.

Thanks again!

Thanks for the info, I included this as an optional step in the directions.

Also, I was looking for a file named "_folder_db_ Delete It".  In fact there is none, you need to delete the file named "_folder_db_".

Sorry about that, I changed the formatting to clear things up.

[shannons86]

Again Thank you worked great!!!

[shannons86]

HELP!!!! I deleted more of the games and I cant get the phone to reboot. It just comes to the ATT screen then vibrates and startes all over again. I have let it go fo an hour and still nothing. Can anyone help me please!?!?!?!?!?!  Thanks for any help.

[pineapple_grower]

Does it connect to bitpim or does it endlessly reboot?

[shannons86]

No it will not connect to Bitpim. Well I took the sim card out and I got it to connect without sim card. Sim card works fine in my old phone

[pineapple_grower]

Do you have someone else's sim to try in it?

[shannons86]

Yea it didnt work either. I did notice that everytime I go back into the file system numbers 006, 007, 010 are always there with only file -env- I can keep deleting them but they keep coming back. In ams in the rms only the number is there no files found in there. PM sent to you

[DemonicHawk]

[shannons86]
