I have the TyTn and when I goto remove programs I see no programs in the list? I even tried a soft reset but still an empty list? The weird thing is that all the programs are visible with "Remove Software" in Pocket Mechanic. Anybody have any clue what is causing this?
I have all my programs on my storage card and the card seem to be fine. After further testing, I seem not to be able to install any programs now at all? I have plenty of space on the card but programs will not install to the phone memory either and plenty of space there also?
I am trying to avoid a HARD RESET.
have you tried removing pocket mechanic? maybe it is messing with your installations?
i had similar prob. with MPx200, although i think following may help:
1. go to /window/appmgr
2. move(copy-delete after) all folders & files somewhere(i.e. Storage Card/appmgr) except folder with name of prog U wanna uninstall
3. try to uninstall it
let me know if it works
Thanks for the replies. I decided to restore a backup to see if that would solve my little mystery and it did. I might have been toooo confident when I used Pocket Mechanic to clean the system by deleting everything that showed up in the list!? If this does happen again I will try what is mentioned above thanks.
This also happen with my wizard but i think because something corrupted the registry or the memory but after that activesync would only allow me to make a partnership as a guest and woudl say samething was wrong. i just reflashed my wizard and it fixed it but i think it could of been fixed by just hard reseting.

Hi
Can someone please give me a step by step idiots guide for getting rid of all the [email protected] that orange put on the m500, thus making the phone run quicker?
I haven't got an SD card reader, is that a problem??
Cheers.
If you just want to get rid of the pre-installed software, you can do so quite easily: Just do a hard reset (hold down power button while pressing reset). Then, after you have finished the touchscreen calibrating stuff etc., there will be a popup saying the device will be configured automatically in 3 seconds. Now, do a soft reset at exactly this point and nothing will be installed. The ExtROM is still there, you can look at it with the file manager and manually install any of the programs you want.
If you want to completely remove the ExtROM, thus increasing the size of the Storage folder, then you need to do the BigStorage hack. It's not too hard, there are many good step-by-step guides available. A very good one written by HBK can be found here. You will definitely need an SD card reader though.
If I do the reset, will I lose everything else that i've got stored??

Yes, with a hard reset, RAM is cleared and you will lose all data. Unfortunately, that's the only way to get rid of the pre-installed programs, as you can't uninstall them the normal way. Your calendar, todos, etc. won't be lost if you sync it to your PC first, but any settings you made or 3rd party programs you installed will.
Okay, here is the story... Sometimes I just want to soft reset my Tornado to close those "unclosable" apps like MSN Messenger. So I wrote this little program to help me. Now I don't have to turn off the phone and turn it on again just in order to do a soft reset.
I'd like to share it. Haven't been tested on Tornados other than mine. Use it at your own risk.
Just extract the exe from zip, copy it to your Tornado, run from File Manager... you can also create a shortcut for it. :roll:
B.T.W, It DOES NOT work on Windows Mobile 2003 platform. So don't bother to try.
It's updated. No more stupid ARE YOU SURE question.
Few question asked (ok ? Yes ? are you sure ? )
But work ok for me
Maybe turned OFF Button and turned ON Button will be shorter don't you think ?
Thanks anyhow
edit : on the second RUN less question Asked. Only one actually "Would you like to Soft reset"
I guess other question was the Win Mobile 5 things when you first run a new APPZ 8)
Bonjour. It's updated.
I just made it for fun.
Planning to add scheduled reboot function. So it can reboot in midnight, and you get fresh memory for a new day.
Any other ideas are welcome!
If you are havign trouble making registry settings place documents and mail on the storage card because boot-up doesn't find the card fast enough, then maybe soft reset will help.
I will try. Thanks.
Well, I believe CeleTask free memory function is more than sufficient
You didn't understand me, but I think I was wrong anyway.
There are times when you try to place certain system folders on Storage. But when phone boots, it tries to write that data before it recognises the storage card, so it creates the folder in system memory again (I think in Application Data instead of original location).
My thought was that if you could make a registry change immediately effective without theneed for a bood sequence, you could have your data on the storage card.
However, recent reading tells me that for registry settings to take effect, the system needs to be powered down. So no good.

+1 for CeleTask
And it also has the great Tools/Reboot shortcut
Add remove program totally blank!!! I uninstalled o couple of programs and then let my pocket pc rest for a couple of hours, then when I tried to install some programs again, none of the program could install. I looked under add remove program, and it was totally blank dispite I have loads of program on it. Now I can't add or remove program. Anyone who has a clue what my problem could be??
I have an Artemis (HTC P3300) With WM5 on it.
Please Help I do not want to make a hard reset.
I had the same problem that you have now, sorry to tell you but the only way round it was a hard reset for me.
I have WM6 running on a HTC Trinity (the Orange SPV M700 variant) has been wonderful for over a month now, last night I reset it cause I hadn't in ages and it was getting all bunged up and slow, when it came back everything just stopped working.
Touchflo, HTCHome, all the stuff i had running on startup instantly blasted errors at me, and all the applications i have installed wont run, including .cab installers..
The error is:
"The File [File name] cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring the file."
I'm not one of these idiots who just panicks and complains about a problem, i've searched google a lot, found that its probably the 'security configuration' and found a program that should be able to change it, only, it can't connect to it properly through activesync, i assume because of the same thing. I would just wipe it clean, even re-flash the ROM if i had too, but I want to back everything up first with something like PPCPimBackup which has worked wonders in the past, only, I can't run the executable...
If it really comes down to it i will just manually backup my contacts list and suffer the other losses, but i'm sure there is some genious on these forums who has a magic sollution..
Always keep in mind, it's called a Pocket PC, because it's just like a PC. So from here on out, be sure to reset daily, it's quick and can help over a long run. As far as it not running now (don't know if you have fixed it yet) but try another reset, sometimes when there are too many startup apps, it can cause some chaos and certain apps won't run. Or try uninstalling the apps not working and reinstalling after a reset, after the uninstall.
Also, always a great idea to backup.
I would like to think i'm pretty good with computers, if this happened on my laptop or desktop I'd be able to find the registry values or find a program to change them for me to stop it blocking the apps from running.
Trouble is, I can't run the PPC version of RegEdit because it is blocking EVERY .exe, If it wasn't PPC i'd boot it up in safe mode, using all the default values, but there isn't on in WM6 by default (to my knowledge anyway)
I've reset many times and nothing changes, turned it off, even taken the battery out just in case it made a difference.
I think i'm going to have to do a hard reset and suffer the losses..
Sometimes a hard reset is the only solution.
Saw this in a signautre from NiteStalker, both hilarious and true, "If knowledge is counted in Hard Resets, I must be a genious!"
Hello,
No matter what application I would try to install, it would fail right away. I thought that maybe the last application I installed was the problem, so I went to uninstall it from the settings menu. When I got to the Remove Programs list, it was empty! I cannot install or uninstall applications!
The last program I was able to install was this: http://wmpoweruser.com/?p=3646
Can anyone help me fix this, or will I need to hard reset?
I gave up and just did a hard reset.
SKTools
Hi
for anybody else still facing this issue, SKTools may help you.

i have same problem, i do tweak registry settings, but haven't for about 2 weeks before this problem happened. tried to use sktools to uninstall programs, but same result.
any suggestions? i do have a registered install of sktools for smartphone.
btw, im using a BJII with 6.1
Also, just realized i cant access the "about", "Accessability", or "owner info" info in "settings", it gives me "ERROR The settings could not be opened"
however, "version" and some others in the "settings" menu work fine (i haven't gone thru and tested all of them)
I have already performed a couple soft resets, with no change. seems like something pretty basic is F'ed. any ideas would be appreciated, i am planning to hard reset tonight if i dont get this taken care of...... So so much to re setup/install.... :-(
i did a hard reset, reflashed my bjII to the most recent 6.1 ROM. and now it is doing the same thing AGAIN!.
i have done no registry mods besides unlocking the keys ATT tries to restrict for their ghey medianet/cellularvideo links. and that has NEVER caused any issues before.
i Have installed:
NETCF3.5
Live Search
LEDAlertsSP
GoogleMapsMobile
Resco Explorer
Opera
SKTools
Increase Ringtone size to 25mb
the only app i haven't tried before is Twikini (a twitter app) it seems to work perfectly, but it is the only thing i have not had on my phone for an extended period of time.
Anyone with advice on how i can go about finding out what the real issue here is please lemme know.

Hello I think it wasnt necessary, I had the same problem twice, and flashed it again, and restored the rom and it keeped on non working. So the first thing i did was to unmount the sd card and mount it again and it worked for a while.
Afterwards I format microSD card- FAT32, other guy wrote in a forum with 4096.
here is the link hope it works for you
