I cant figure out how to delete MrIncredibles dialer. I was able to delete the cab, but cant delete the rest
Also, I cant delete everything from QuickMenu, when I push my Start button, it tells me that QuickMenu cant be launced(because I have deleted some of the files, jsut cant find the rest)
OK Two things...
One: If it was cooked into the ROM it usually cannot be uninstalled well.
Two: Start -> Settings -> System -> Remove Programs. Find it on the List and Click Remove.
Thanks for the response!!
I'm not using a cooked rom, I did remove the dialer from "remove programs". I dont know why I didnt do that already .
As for QuickMenu, it isnt in "remove programs" anymore, because I removed it from there a day or 2 earlier. It still left something behind though, becuase it is preventing me from using my original Windows Start menu.
I copied "naviPanel.exe" from Windows folder to Start Menu/Programs folder.
\Now, i want to delete this copied .exe file from the start menu folder.
Can anyone help me out?
Thanks

Hi,
I accidentally put actual file instead of lnk into StartUp folder on WM 6.1. Now I can not delete the file becouse it's already launched and it's not even showing in list of running programs. How do I get rid of it in StartUp folder?
Thanks,

it might be running in the background. try using a task manager kinda program to see running processes (e.g. wktask) and you should be able to kill it and then delete it
or rename it from somethingsomething.exe to somethingsomething.exe.bak
and softreset
Or you can usually cut the link or file in startup and then paste it somewhere else. Reset, then you can delete it.
not if it's not a shortcut but he places the exe file itself in startup in this case it will be locked and cant be cut
Can you rename the file to something not ".exe" and then reset the phone? Would it work? I've read somewhere around here someone suggesting that. After soft reset, in theory, you should be able to delete the file.
Here is a step-by-step instructions on how to change the Manila Home "Today" screen bottom "Phone" soft key into "Contacts" soft key.
1. Download and copy the following Cab file onto your device SD card.
2. from your device install the downloaded cab file on the DEVICE memory.
3. Go to Start/Programs/System/Manila Config/Softkeys ( from the bottom tabs ), (Manila Config is also called Manilla 2D Customizer (M2DC)) Locate it and click on "Softkeys").
4. In the box under the "Left Softkey Name" type in Contacts
5. Click on the Right-hand box next to the 'Left Softkey Command space.
6. Locate the "Windows" directory and click it and wait till directory tree opens up.
7. Locate "RandomAccess.exe" file and click it; you will see it toward the bottom of the "Windows" directory tree.
8. Click on "Apply" at the bottom of your screen display.
9. it will prompt you to restart, click OK and you will have the lefthand soft key changed to Contacts. A much better setting than "Phone" command which you can access via the Green "Phone" hard button.
Good luck.

is it possible to use this to add "device lock" to the today screen? im running garmin dk.4.c if that helps. i dont like the slide2unlock.
sorry if this is mentioned somewhere else also, ive been searching for it for at least a hald hour now on here and i cant find it
there is already a wonderful thread in the dev and hacking forum by mpenguin that explains soft keys changes and more on m2d; but thanks for ur post and explanation anyways
Hmmm...
... I downloaded the file. Copied it to my SD card and ran the .cab but it doesn't ask me where I want to install it (phone or SD) and just says it's installed. So I reset the phone look for the Manilla Softkey Edit in Settings/System... nada. Any ideas?
Just a thought... is it because I'm running TF3D? That's the only thing I can think of.

I am experimenting with TF3D but did not dive into key remapping yet. I suggest you copy the cab file onto your device memory and try to run it that way. Your initial installation could have taken place on your SD card perhaps, and thats why you are not seeing it. Try the Device memory and let us know.

Why don't you expand your suggestion by posting a direct link to what you have mentioned? Your remark makes one hate posting any help thread ...

See if you have M2DC ( Manila Customizer). If you do not have it then go to http://code.google.com/p/manilla2dcustomizer/
and install it.
Alternatively, you can have M2DC link the left softkey to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Contacts.lnk, no need to install any cab (other than M2DC, of course ).
it's easyier to use M2DC
Manilla customizer the latest build can change the softkeys
much easyier
Took the easy way out...
... I wanted to remap the right softkey to the RSS Hub... but I just used the PTT button instead since I don't use the voice recorder. Thanks for you help though... both of your options worked by the way.
How do i add device lock to the soft keys. By searching couldnt find anything..
Is there any way to change soft key to device lock using manila customizer?
hi f0lks.
i try to get the touch flo files copied manually to my phone, but for some of the files i couldnt remove the "read only" flag nor i couldnt delete em.
i work with TC and tried it by selecting files by mask and also by doin it for each single file.
everytime i reread the properties the flags are reset to "read only" this is the case for just 230files.
any hint would be really appreciated.
thank you
k0s
edit:
nope touch flo is not running, nor any other programs. i did reset the device and so on.
use total commander instead of file explorer
thanks,
i alread used TotalCommander (TC) but i guess you cant delete the files when you DIDNT sspl'ed your device.
i tried it on a clean one and didnt work.
i tried it after i updated the rom and it works now.

you cant delete anything from windows folder because files are in rom, you can just OVERWRITE them if they arent used by anything.
after i delete certain apps i downloaded sometimes they leave behind a file that cant be deleted no matter what i do. for example i downloaded PointUI home but didnt like it so i deleted it using add/remove programs in system settings. everything was deleted except for a small file called 2001. it wont delete and ive tried everything. until i find a way to do so it still shows up in add/remove programs. i have 4 such apps that wont go away because of that same problem. i have an htc snap on sprint running windows mobile 6.1 if that helps any. im stumped! any help would be greatly appreciated
try SKTools....
i have sktoolslite but im unsure if itll let me delete them. i had issues deleting those programs and sktoolslite deleted most of those files except for that one file. i look in the windows folder under app manager and the folders for said apps are still there with that one stubborn file in each folder. again. any help would be appreciated
I don't know what those files are, but if you test cabs frequently, then sk tools is a good way to install them (use the cab manager, select install w/ sk tools). It does a better job of removing programs (go to installed programs, do a deep scan and uninstall).
For now, you may fix the problem by using the installed programs tool and removing uninstall info (if the apps appear there). To get rid of the files in \windows, try checking for replaced rom files and restoring to original. You may need to add the proper extensions in settings.
it keeps saying that the file is a system file and if deleted the phone wont work properly. when i try to delete anyway it tells me i cant . access is denied. be certain that the program is not write protected and not currently in use. before that it would say problem deleting file
bump. anyone else experience something similar? if so then how did you deal with it?

It is gone for good, but the good thing is you can make a new one!
I can make a cab for you if you want, or you can create a text file with this:
Code:
#\windows\iexplore.exe[CODE] save it as "Internet Explorer.lnk" and copy it to your start menu.
Or, you can go into \Windows with file explorer (make sure all files are visible) and find iexplore.exe and then tap "Copy" in the menu, and then go to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and tap "Paste as Shortcut" from the menu.
Hope that helps, let me know if you need any more help.
That's great, found the .exe and its now back!
Cheers
Will
