If you own a Blackberry you’re probably like me- always trying out the latest and greatest free apps and themes. Well recently App World started including themes in App World, and some of the themes are free. Of course I had to try a few of them, all of which didn’t live up to my standards so I uninstalled them. Now if you’ve reached this post from a search, you’re probably annoyed with the fact that anything you install and uninstall in App World remains in “My World” (with the status Uninstalled) no matter how many times you restart or pull the battery on your Blackberry. My understanding is App World is just remembering this info for your future reference. Well it bugs the shit out of me to have all these uninstalled references to crappy apps and themes clogging up My World. Well the fix is – while in App World, hold down ALT and then type R S T. On my Blackberry Curve 8330 it took about a minute and App World closed itself. Upon entering App World again all those uninstalled apps in My World were gone! Awesome, time to celebrate and have a beer! Hope this post also helps you be less annoyed with Blackberry App World.
awesome! it works!
Good to hear, glad it helped!
Great!! works like a charm on BB 9700 too…
Good to hear, glad I could help.
Ok so i downloaded 2 themes that were free and in my world it says ready to install but yet it wont install. There is not an option to remove or delete the themes from my world and when i do the above.. it deletes my uninstalled apps but not these 2 themes. WHAT DO I DO?
I’d do a battery pull. Then go into My World in App World. When you see the 2 themes, they will probably still say “ready to install”. Hit the menu button and select “Install”. Hope this helps.
