Hello!
Is there any way to remove some windows programs from the phone in a clear way? I don't mean preparing ROM without them - I mean just simple uninstalling them, e.g. removing:
-Getting Started
-Calculator
-Games
etc..
Thank you for info!
Simple answer is: NO!
The programs are ROM based and cannot be removed without
cooking a new ROM without them. That's a fact!

Hi - question from a WM newb.
[phone: HTC Fuze. Da_G 1.7 ROM]
What is the best way to remove programs?
I am aware there is a "remove program" function in the settings. Unfortunately, this seems to either:
a) be unable to remove certain programs
b) leave behind remnants of programs after it "uninstalled" it.
For example - I saw there was a google maps update out today which gives you street view. So I went to m.google.com/maps and installed it from there.
It seems to not have updated google maps at all which is what I was led to believe it would do but installed a whole new google maps (shows up as a "e" icon in my programs labeled "java". really annoying - what is that all about?).
I wanted to remove the old google maps and did so via the "remove programs" utility. It left behind the google maps icon which I just deleted from the windows/start menu/programs. I am left wondering though if I removed everything I could or if it left behind any mess that will slow and clutter my phone in the future?
I have searched and people seem to recommend SKtools to do this job. I was led to believe that it will do a better job but I am afraid it might mess with my registry - and registry tweaks seem to be the norm here (I've already done about a million).
Will SKtools leave my registry alone? Does it only remove registry enhancements that have to do with the program in question? Will altering even that mess with how other programs function? etc etc etc.
What is the best way to remove programs? (AND to remove programs that dont appear on the list like the "E" google maps thing)
thx much
the e icon is for the java emulator, the old version was a JAva one, this one is for Windows Mobile
that icon was created by Esmertic (the name of the java cemulator) for shortcut to Google Maps, else you'll have to go fireup the Emualtor first, then selct Google Maps from it
There are many tricks in SKTools, and yess it corrupts ur reg too, you just have to know what you doing..try PocketMechanic a shot too
hope this helps ya
Cheers
so is it pointing towards an online version of google maps or something, hence the reason why i cant find it to delete it in the first place?
thx
the one from "m.maps..." is a java version i guess, there is anew version in cab format here

Is it not clear to you that you have two totally different versions installed? You have a native WM app installed and the Java applet version?
Is that what this whole question revolves around??
no thats pretty clear now hehe:
-original question remains: what is the best method of removing programs (stock "remove apps" vs using a program like sktools), i guess wondering if there is sort of a general consensus when it comes to this. (like on a mac I always use appzapper vs just throwing the app in the trash)
-I installed the native wm version and I want to get rid of the java applet version but I am not finding how to remove that version since it doesnt show up on the "remove apps".
thx
Apart from the problem of the "Google thing icon", I was very interested about input on "how to remove programs properly"...
I too am annoyed with the builtin "remove program" function not being able to uninstall anything completely.
Any hint (beside deleting everything manually in registry and file system) ?
Thanks for your help.

It can't be removed unless it is "un-cooked" from a cooked ROM.
And, from what I remeber this is a ***** to do. All you can do is look for the Lite/Clean ROM threads for your device and see if any of the chefs found a way to remove it. But you'll have to flash a new ROM, that's for sure.

most roms have a utility that will allow network settings to be automatically retreived
settings will have to be done from scratch
look for a program called pimbackup to save numbers
and
you can do a search for compatible keyboard aound the internet
but how to know that it is compatibil, das it depand on wm6.1 or diamond by akeo, or ...what?
this phone is too smart or i am too stupid
yopu read all of the thread this will give you possible compatability issues
and no ones is stupid if they leanr correctly
thanks
thanks for eaford.

Hi,
First of all I don't mean uninstalling just any app by going in to the remove programs but the following:
when you install a rom (... I got the Excalibur NRG Rose v1.4.1 , NICE!) you gets some default programs installed with it , for example in my roms i have window media player, internet explorer, default games, but what if you don't need it?
(for example, i always use the " audio manger" instead of the window player)
I just want to know if theres a way to uninstall default apps that you cant see on the remove porgram that is on your phone.
Thanks, Louis
thanks , Louis

The only way you can rearrange / remove a Roms apps is by using a ROM that is UC compliant and to get the kitchen from the chef a recooking it.
Or by learning how to do it from scratch. No simple way to do this ......
okay.... You would be happen to be a " Chef" ? would you ?
Once I used BlackBerry there was tools to remove unneeded stuff from the installation package (apps, languages,...).
It reduces installation time, saves some space on the phone, removes components we are not using,...
Is there something similar for WP7?

The CAB sender, but you must know how to program wp cabs, to know what to remove, the best way is to edit the rom you are using before flashing and remove what you don't want this is very risky if don't know what you're doing/removing...
Thanks for the reply.
