I did not shrink this OS but I do believe others did. Hopefully someone can chime on and offer you some assistance.

i shrunk everything ecept attachtment and bbm successfully. been running great since yesterday

I shrunk it!!!!!!!!!! Use Shrink-A-OS


get it here http://www.theiexplorers.com/

I shrunk the same as Cjacks and did so after I installed the straight up OS and haven't had any problems to speak of other than the known problems.

I initially installed the os w/o shrinking, but had a reinstall it and did so via shrinking, I got rid off everything except, BBM, Brickbreaker, Attachment Service, Default Font, Default Ringtones, Docs To Go, Password Keeper/Wizard and Setup Wizard. Haven't had a problem, but when it loaded up, i only had 49mb free, which was about the same as installing the os w/o shrinking, so IDK wat that means lol.

I too shrunk mine after initial install. Works great!!

Thanks for the feedback...I shrunk it with Shrink-A-OS yesterday and it was all screwed up, that's why I didn't try again...I got it working...It's booting with 43.6 MB free with data restored, I'm about to restore my apps now...These are the files I removed...

Well it sounds like u have a lot more included in the OS than I do. But still IDK y urs starting is 43mb. Have u done a straight up install? Meaning, installing the OS w/o shrinking it, 'cause I think w/o shrinking it, u should get more than 43mb.

Updated Shrink-A-OS today, added more radios and removed the Attachment Service option

all should work with 5.0 fine now

nice....thanks

When I installed on Saturday I used "Shrink an OS" with no problems. Been running strong since, no memory leak to speak of. I have 10 apps, 2 themes, and a few launchers installed and I boot up at 46.49, and never seem to drop below 45MB.

When you guys are using "Shrink an OS" has anyone had success using Windows Vista 32 bit. Reason I ask is when I run on Vista it shows the Java file size then I shrink and the same size is reflected. If I switch to my laptop with Windows XP it shrinks fine everytime usually cutting the size in half. Just curious, thanks

Aww, I didn't think of that since it's not something I normally have to change but as far as I remember I probably am not, I'm running in a user name instead. Thanks Bryan, that's why you get the big badge next to your name

Ringtones are fine if you don't use any system default ringtones for anything, Fonts are fine as well ( you will end up with one font only, but it hurt my eyes after a week of using it). Themes you cannot get rid of
