Finally got rid of PTT.
 

I finally got rid of the PTT app that was on my 8300, after som many said it cant be done, this is what I did:

On your pc, go to program files, common files, research in motion, shared, loader files, 8300v4, then java, then look for the file that has the words ptt in the file, delete it. Then on your desktop softeware use your app loader and go under advanced and choose erase installed applications, then click next, I choose do not back up and re-store the apps. then next and it should erase then install all the apps that were in the desktop folder with the exception of the ptt file. Then it will re-load and bang....no PTT, unit is now a bit faster.

Im no expert....but it worked for me.

Who told you it couldn't be done?

The way I understand it, there are two files that need to be removed. One is the main PTT .cod and the other is KnJCDE.cod. I used javaloader to remove them on mine and my wifes Curves and it worked like a champ.

Would you mind posting the command prompts to put into javaloader? I don't know what I am doing wrong but I still have PTT on my device and have no use for it.

javaloader.exe -usb erase -f net_rim_bb_phone_ptt_app.cod
javaloader.exe -usb erase -f KnJCDE.cod

Input one command at a time as the device will reboot by itself after each input. This will work as long as you have the drivers for the device correctly installed.

Thanks!

Easier way is to change your platform.alx and then run DM which will delete. If you use a non-Cingular OS this is important otherwise it's always got PTT open in the task switcher.

You will find a line

<fileset pttApp="True" Java="1.0" _vendorID="102">

Change the vendor ID from 102 to some other number.

Great Tip!

This worked perfectly, thanks!

Where on the .alx did you find this?

Who told you it couldn't be done?

See my post from last December (for Pearl, but same proecdure) here: http://www.blackberryforums.com/gene...tml#post398874

roughly a third of the way down on the Platform.alx file. I changed the vendor code to 220 then connected my BlackBerry to the desktop manager and ran the app loader.

This is what I do.

I get a module in use error... any ideas?

Thanks.

Can you guys tell me how to use the javaloader? Sorry....I didn't follow that, but would like to remove my PTT that way...thanks.

There's a command to force deletion of "in use" modules. Add a "-f" between "erase" and the module name.

thanks somehow missed the f. worked like a charm...

This worked great! I LOVE THIS BOARD!!!

Can someone tell me how to ditch it....I'm just not keeping up!

do a search for JavaLoader, then use the above cmd line. works well.
