Re: how to remove predefined apps on s40 phones?

you can't remove some apps as they are part of the operating system. those that you mention appear to be just that on your phone.

@IllUMINATUz - in what way does it suck? Deleting those wont free up memory Either way. XD. The firmware embedded apps arent stored on user accessible memory.

You can delete pre-installed apps themes in nokia s40 phones
For doing this you need two softwares
*blueftp 1.70(free app)
*UC Browser
From UC Browser google search for 'download uc browser'.when download menu comes asking you for saving or installing the software,you just save the sofware but remember uc browser which you are saving should not be right protected.After you have saved uc browser>open blueftp and navigate uc browser which you have just saved form internet now rename and change the extension from _jar to .zip and open it you can see many files with .class extension select all and extract into folder in which pre-installed apps or themes are.After extraction close blueftp and go into the folder where you have extracted those files now select all (few system files would not be selected dosent matter) and then delete all during deleting process a new menu will appear stating operation failed and your pre-installed apps or themes would be deleted.
*But remember that folder will become useless after deleting pre-installed apps or theme for sometime i.e, if you copy anything to that folder it would not be vsible so for making that folder usable you need to switch off and switch on your mobile for two three times.
