Click Browse, Click Loader Files and choose your latest OS install folder (not the Java or CDMA) then give it a shot, should work perfect from there

Sorry lyricidal and thank you for the help. Where do I find "Browse"? I am a somewhat newbie and could use any help. I am on my main Windows screen now

np, I changed it on you guys
open Shrink-A-OS.exe and click Browse, then follow my steps above

I am a moron. Sorry. I am doing it now. You rock!

IT WORKED!! I am really sorry. I should have read the directions. You just saved many hours of turmoil. I am donating to your cause now. How does $20 sound? Is that fair?

no problem, when you're used it working it one way and then it gets changed, it takes a bit of getting used to
let me know if you got any more troubles

that sounds great man, appreciate anything really
thanks either way

It is removing the items now. I am stoked!

I am always willing to pay for help that makes my Berry run smooth. Thank you again. I am all dialed in here. All the things I wanted removed have been removed. Your help is much appreciated.

I just ran v2.1 and it worked great...one quick question: I deleted the "default font" and when my Storm rebooted, it's got a funky looking font that's making my eyes cross (more than they normally do...) Anyone know if there's a way to re-shrink the OS but put the default font back on the unit?

Thanks!

I am not an expert in shrink a OS. I would PM Lyrical and see what he has to say unless someone with more experience can address your question directly.

That's good program to know!

Minor updates to both apps, change logs updated in first post
and CrackUtil is a very handy tool

This is what i get when using it to shirnk .132.

See the end of this message for details on invoking
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
<system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.

any insight???? dont really want to load all the extra cr@p that comes along with most OS's (in this case .132), but it seems your progz is n0t s0 haXoRz 1337?

i dont know if you can find an older version but i used the one that was designated as the .122 shrink and it worked just fine.

REC7IFY: Sorry I didnt answer sooner, went to bed but:
by the looks of things when you are browsing, you chose your Java folder, just choose the main OS folder (not Java and CDMA) and you should be good to go

this is a stupid question that has probably already been answered, but what do yall recommend as the best free (not trial) un-raring software?

thanks

Winrar is the best program for this. It is free if you download the trial version. I am not aware of any good free, non-trial programs.

thanks for the help! thats what i thought, that there really wasnt much out there, however for anyone interested, there is a completely free program that i found on download.com called "free rar extract frog" and it is completely free and seems to work pretty well

thanks guys!!!
