Yesterday, I did a series of posts (actually just 2) on how to remove Eten applications. Part I covered the hard reset method while Part II covered steps on how to go about it without a hard reset. Thus I did not plan for a Part III as I thought I had everything covered.

However, I received some emails from users who were interested in finding out if they could still install selective Eten applications if they followed the method in Part I. While they wanted a clean version, they were looking into spicing it up with some of these applications. There were also some really useful comments which I would like to share with you on freeing up space.

Installing Of Eten Applications From Clean Hard Reset

YES! It’s not as straightforward as the method in Part II for installing programs but it can be done. Go to your Windows folder. Inside you will find a long list of files that correspond to the programs. For your convenience, here are the CAB files (in bold), their sizes (in italics) and the programs you get from installing them:

• PREI_ADDRINGTONE.ALLLAN 247 Adds MP3 files as Ringtones
• PREI_BATTERYMETER 89 Battery Meter
• PREI_BKUPRSTO.3.2.ALLLAN 421 Eten Backup and Restore
• PREI_CVC 1,783 Cyberon Voice Commander
• PREI_ETMERGEEX_ENG 734 ?
• PREI_ETPHONE_ENG_ORANGE 2,183 Eten phone orange skin
• PREI_GPRSWIZARD.ENG 319 GPRS Wizard for settings

Thanks to ETEN Users Forum for some of their pointers and information.

Requirements of PhoneService 2.0

Unlike initially thought, PhoneService 2.0 plays an integral part of your phone. While it offers you functions such as Scenarios and Zoom SMS as discussed in Part II of this series, it also has other functions as well.

Gary Oberbrunner says you will need this program for your GPS Viewer and Satellite Update to work. Which I think is integral for many of us. While you can’t save memory space by removing this program, you can still save RAM by not activating Zoom SMS and using Scenarios.

Removal Of Files From Windows

Another way to increase Main Memory space is to remove the files that you see in this folder that comes with the PREI_ prefix which you can find in the beginning of this post. These files are required if you want to install Eten applications, otherwise, they are just taking up space. You can either move it to your Storage Card to free up space as suggested by phreaker18 in one of the comments that he left or you can remove it completely by deleting it, as suggested by Adrian in a comment. Either way, you will free up Main Memory space which is what you want.

Can I Really Not Have MMS From A Clean Hard Reset?

Well apparently this is possible. All you need to do according to kourampies is to let the installation run as per normal. Then you install Spb Backup and run the backup program once, backing up everything on Main Memory. You then do a Clean Hard Reset as discussed in Part I and then do a restoration using your backup file but only choosing to restore only Message. You will then get your MMS component without the bloat.

Hope you found that useful and thank you to all who have contributed. Do these methods work for you?
