Help; I am fairly techy but here is the issue: I have a stock Fuze and using a Mac with Missing Sync to sync with it.
I have installed RegEdit and Adv. Config successfully and used both and have also installed .net35 cab along with some games.
Problem: TF3D config looks like it is installing but never get the message on my phone asking where to install and I do not believe that it has. I have tried a few .cab files with the same result. Any help?
Also, just today, when I choose Favorite Contacts from the "task bar" it restarts the TF interface. It has been working for a month and I have added nothing new. Any thoughts on this.

The problem I'm having is that when I go to settings > system > remove programs, it only lists the first 11 programs that I've installed myself, so I cant see / remove newer programs since they are not listed there.
The programs (all cab files) were installed through usb via active sync.
Is there a tweak or a registry setting that can be used to keep that program list updated and show every program installed.
If not, how can I uninstall a program completely from within my phone itself ?
I'm trying to avoid uninstalls through active sync.
I wish I had an answer for you. I have been looking for an Installation Monitor, Registry Monitor, Filesystem Monitor tool for a long time now but I don't think there is one out there. What an Installation Monitor essentially would do is monitor any cab that you install and create a log of what that cab added/modified. That way, when you come to uninstall it you could perform a FULL uninstall and it would truely bring your device back to what it was before you installed the cab.
There are many of these types of tools for Windows XP/Vista but I haven't seen anything for WM6. Also there may be some limitations as these installation logs could be quite long. Regular Windows software such as "Advanced Uninstaller Pro" and they seem to do a good job.
I wish there was one for WM6 because everytime I install something and don't like it and remove it, it seems to leave hundreds of files lying around. I hate that...
The closest thing I have seen to an uninstaller program that goes beyond the standard Windows uninstaller is SKTools. It has an option to perform a "deep scan" for installed programs and it attempts to remove all files that that cab added and revert all registry keys back to their original state. I am still testing it out on Windows Mobile Emulator. It looks like if the original cab didn't create an installation log, WM doesn't know it got installed.
I just experienced this for the first time myself, although I have about 20 programs in my remove programs list. Opera 8.65 doesn't show up in the list of installed programs, even though it is there and still works. I was trying to uninstall it from main memory and try it on the storage card but I guess I'll have to hard reset to really get rid of it. Any other ideas?
Moto Q (original). Was installing some new programs, trying out some new things, now Pocket IE won't start. Error message comes up:
"Alert!
Can't find 'MortScript' (or one of its components). Make sure the path and filename are correct and that all the required libraries are available."
I was using MortScript to make the Bluetooth easier to turn on/off, and recently implemented the "disable battery fully charged" hack, but those were working fine until today.
Installed some things like: dif't versions of JBED Esmertec, JZSmartMort (probably the problem?), SprintTV (doesn't work on the Moto Q, I know, but I wanted to try... ), pocketNester Plus, zaDesktopSP, and BeyondPOD.
I tried uninstalling JZSmartMort, but no luck. Also tried uninstalling/reinstalling MortScript, sometimes to storage card, sometimes to device, still no luck.
Any ideas? Shortcut appears to be still pointing to the executable, but I can't find an "MSPIE.EXE" in the \Windows folder?
pie.lnk is: "21#:MSPIE?(colon)pieapp" (replaced : with colon to avoid smiley)
Help, please. Thanks...
nevermind. figured it out. Googled some dif't terms and discovered that the associations had not been cleaned up after an uninstall of that JZ crap. RegEdit to the rescue.
(to be fair, maybe not crap, but doesn't clean up after itself very well!)
Rather than flashing the FuZE... if I do a hard reset with the trick to not install the AT&T bloatware, will that make the phone any faster?
Also... I just ran a backup with Sprite to my memory card. It is backing up 165mb of stuff. Does that mean that is is backing up all of the AT&T bloatware? I had all boxes checked off except Storage Card. What will the backup entail? It would be kind of stupid if it backed up all of the software I'm trying to remove.
if you have everything ticked in sprite backup then its probably backuping your registry as well.. I'd say go through the options of sprite backup and tick only what you want backed up.
Then hard reset and soft reset right after its booted up before it installs the customizations.. or just use a cooked rom..
I tried to figure out what to uncheck - hopefully this goes right... Will it speed everything up though?
No Manila2D after soft reset?
Question, I just did this. Did the soft reset when it's customizing, and now I don't have the Manila2D installed or at least it's not visible. TouchFlo is in fact there, I see it in Settings, but I do I have to separately find the cab to install it? I'm looking around the file system right now to see if it's on there so I can just install it from there.
Right now, it's just the regular Windows Mobile interface.
Thanks.

Don...I had the same issue with my Fuze. Here is what you do...
Hard Reset on phone
pull battery when customization screen pops up
Reboot
Go to Windows Explorer and look for the following .cab files(I did them in this order):
PT_Manila_REG (TF3D)
MSFT_Security (policy work around - needed)
WM6_PPC (Opera browser)
Java_Preloads (needed for browser)
Optional:
Remove Hidden Proxy
OzIM (multi IM program - I like and use regulary)
MobileBackup (free and I use it)
Once you have done this, reboot and go to this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413562
for some really nice tweaks. Before you do these tweaks though, you'll want to download the following files (sorry, you'll have to look for them):
.NETCF 3.5 (get this from Microsoft site)
Schaps Advanced Config v3.3
some type of registry editor (I have Schap's)
What tweaks you do are up to you...best thing is to experiment and decide what you like best.
Additional files that I have downloaded because of what I use my phone for are the following:
fp7_ppc (flashplayer v7 for pocket pc)
cesetup (Citrix Client software for ppc)
ManilaCustomizer (fantastic program for editing TF3D) get this here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437420
Diamond TF3d Config (another fantastic program for tweaking TF3D)
mUn BackGround4AllPages (changes the background on all of the TF3d tabs to match the Home tab)
LiveSearch
Google Maps
WiFiFoFum (wireless net detector)
Fun files that I have installed:
DivX
Lightsaber 1.0 (yes, I am a Star Wars nerd!!)
YahooGoNet
Having all these various programs installed, my Fuze blisters! I had a Tilt previous and tried almost every custom ROM for it over the course of a year. When I got this phone, I was already aware of how to not install the bloat from AT&T. Thanks to other helpful people on xda, I was able to locate the files that I wanted to install. Hope this helps and have fun with your phone, I know I am!!
pghguy1989,
THANK YOU. You were right on the money. I loaded these cab files:
PT_Manila_REG (TF3D)
MSFT_Security (policy work around - needed)
WM6_PPC (Opera browser)
Java_Preloads (needed for browser)
And rebooted, and I'm back up and running with my TouchFlo. That was exactly what I wanted. I was annoyed that it did put some of the AT&T branding on there, but I don't really care. I'm going to now use the TFCustomizer, and clean it up.
Thanks a TON. I was going crazy googling and looking for the right cab files to make it happen!
Can't thank you enough.

Anyone know how to reinstall the T9x input on WM6.1? I installed the CES Mobile application built on the boopsie platform and the T9x input on the entire phone disappeared. I have uninstalled all the CES and Boopsie files and rebooted to no avail.
The registry folders for T9x are now missing so I don't think a tweak will work.
I would really like to not have to reinstall everything on my phone.
registry entries were there...
Ok, looks like this is the one...
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Tegic\eT9\IME sub-key: TextInputMode dword: 1
On my Hermes I used to be able to kill activesync with the task manager. With the new Topaz, task manager never displays activesync.
How can I get it to show activesync so I can kill the process without a soft-reset?
For what it's worth, the reason I need to kill activesync is because of a bug in the way it handles DNS. If I plug my phone into my desktop then it switches to the USB connection for activesync and correctly detects that the IP address for my exchange server is different (ie it's an internal IP). Unfortunately, when I disconnect from my desktop it never seems to realise this and continues to try and use that internal IP (or atleast that's what I think is happening). Killing both Messaging and Activesync solves the problem and I've been using this for nearly a year with the Hermes but I can't do it with the Topaz.
My Hermes was running a cooked wm6.1 ROM while my Topaz is currently running the stock HTC wm6.1 rom.
Cheers,
James
All stock ROMS have this behavour. If you know how to HARD-SPL and then flash another ROM I would suggest using the Topaz Essential ROM (it is the most stockish, stable and fast ROM I used) and after that using the fake server method for activesync.
Good luck and tell us what it worked for you!
no need to flash rom there is simple solution:
in HKCU\Software\HTC\TaskManager\ExclusiveList\System
written all proccesses that task manager don't show, delete what you want to be shown and soft reset.
activesync proccess is replog.exe
Annoying stock ROMs

Thanks Shumilica,
I wondered if it was a stock ROM related issue, but I figured that if the cooked ROM's could work around it then there must be a registry key or something that would allow me to do the same. I'm sure I'll end up installing a cooked ROM, as I have on my last 2 HTC phones, but since the phone is literally brand new I'm getting used to the stock ROM before I start messing with it.
I'll let you know how I go. BTW, I assume the fake server option is no use to me since I USE an Exchange Server and have it regularly syncing?
Cheers,
James

That did the job perfectly. I couldn't find this solution with search so hopefully the title helps someone else now.
Thanks again,
James
title definitely did the trick as I just found this easily
In my case on the touch pro, the stock ROM i had was showing activesync in the HTC task manager, but after flashing Energy 6.5 ROM on there ActiveSync was not being shown. I like to use the TaskManager to switch to it so i can see the synchronise progress etc and was easily able to find this thread and make the registry tweak
I use CleanRam, and you can clean (stop) hidden programs using the Custom process function.
