hi everyone, sorry about this question if it has been answered. i did search since yesterday with variations in search words and nothing. ive always searched and have been able to find my answers before... i think this is even my first post lol
how do i remove a factory installed application if it does not appear on the remove programs list??? please im ready to throw it out the window! the app doesnt work... reinstalling didnt help, now i have two of the same program one with a (1) extension. and now they both cant be removed! and i have two of these phones too. want to remove it from both. especially from one, because its for my son.
i cant ignore it... its like ocd or something.
your help is greatly appreciated. please.
If it is "cooked" into the rom and it does not appear in the "remove programs" then you cant.
really?? jeez dont tell me that... its gonna drive me nuts. how do uncook it? its actually that stupid OZ messenger program. grrrrrr! now i have two on my phone... =/
i had it on the previous touch before and was able to remove it completely. this sucks!

The term "cook" means the individual that customized the rom wanted that software installed. Once the OEM file is placed, there is no way for the average joe to remove that. However you might be able to use a file explorer program and remove the shortcut from the programs menu, it will not be "un-installed", just hidden.
grrrr! they really suck.
thanks.
No problem.
There are a few things you can do
Just delete the shortcuts in \Windows\Start Menu\Programs (not the best answer...)
Install a different ROM without the app (eg. ROMeOS by Monx is very vanilla)

Check the iContact thread because I think this question was asked. I.e. if you hit the phone button and then "contacts" it will load iContact, however from the people tab it won't. I'm not sure they ever resolved that problem, but if they did, please post the response here, because iContact seems like a much better program (and the scrolling is the best I've seen on Windows Mobile...)
i didnt find anything (a link to that thread would be nice). but i'm thinking a simple registry edit would suffice??
ei guys im looking for a simple program called reboot...when i click it, it shows two options whether u want to shutdown or restart.... it got deleted when i hard reset my tornado...any idea where i could find it or could u guys be kind enough to post it tnx.
I never used such program, but I advise you to try CeleTask, if you alredy dont have it. It also has these two options you want.
try this my friend
Guys,
I need your help. My HTC Touch HD cannot initiate the TouchFlo (3D), and I cannot view it the way it should be at all. I don't know what happened but it just doe sthe following when you restart it:
It will go to the TouchFlo (3D) Page and the message saying "Tap Here to Launch TouchFlo (3D)
I tap and it keeps saying Launching TouchFlo (3D) but it never does that
I can access the mobile from the Start Menu but I want my Touch HD Back to the way it was before.
Anybody has any suggestions please post them or email me at: [email protected]
thank you guys

Save PIM data (ex with PimBackUp or similar) then make an HardReset: HD off, Hold VolUp+VolDown then one click on PowerOn Botton.
D'rath
PS: The process erases all your data but solve the SW problems
Wait, hard reset is the last solution!
Have you installed an application or any graphics drivers? New rom?
If so then you could try to uninstall it and see if the problem is solved!
Sometimes I had this when installing bad drivers.
You could try to install these drivers. (at least before doing a hard reset)
helio is correct,
HR is the last resort (although it will of course fix the problem) as you wont understand what has caused the underlying problem, you will then install the same software/apps and end up with the same issue.
Look at what you have have installed recently, or changed manila files. An incorrect change if playing with a manila file will cause touchflo not to start.
Thanks Guys for your Comments and Recommendations, I really appreciate that,
I need to know how to Backup the PIM Data. I found a file with pim next to it and I already saved it on the Storage Card. Is there any other PIM File(s)? I also listened to you onnot doing the Hard Reset, and removed every software I have doubt about or had installed recently. But the problem still presists, TouchFlo (3D) Cannot launch. Help and thanks again.
Use this app, zip below, to back up your data (emails, contacts etc). The app is simple to use. Word of warning if you use Exchange to sync email and contacts, be CAREFUL....restoring your contacts and then syncing will duplicate all your contact entries (i know because i did it and ended up with 2000 contacts!!!)
You dont say what you had installed, just that you had removed them. Purely unistalling may not fix the issue if a registry change has not reversed.
Have you been playing with any manila files, or deleting anything you shouldnt be? Have you been playing with the registry?
If you really cant analize what you have done and without much more info, you have to decide if the HR is the only available option to you (ie you want the quick fix).
Dear Timmymarsh,
thank you for all you've done for me, I really appreciate that. I am sorry I did not mention what I did. What I have done is try a new ROM, I think it Was WWE but which one I don't remember. I downloaded a bunch of files from this site, thinking they would work without testing them first. But they did not turn out to be what I was looking for. I downloaded the Choco Clock, Sygic GPS, and others from the Manila....and other developers but when I unzipped and installed them they did not work for some reason. So I just deleted them, the thing is I know I should have uninstalled them first. But for some reason I just can't even find the files created by these add-ons or applications. No, I did not touch the registry at all. I am not a Software Man, obviously you guys are amazing in this stuff, I am more into infrastructure if you have any uestions about Wireless Network or Physical Security let me know. I am trying to learn more about this Mobile and want to be able to utilize it to the fullest. Thank you again. For this time I think I am going with the HR so I can erase everything that I downloaded and did not setup Properly, then I am going to install only trusted add-ons and softwares. thanks.
No probs my friend, its what we are here for yes
As for what you have done, its always best to uninstall first, just deleting causing reg problems hence the issues you are now facing. I would say on this occasion HR is your best bet. Best bit of advise i can give you is, install one app/software, test and if there are no compatability issues then add another, if there is then at least you know to safely remove by unistalling that app.
Have fun, the HD is a brilliant bit of kit and can be expanded/modded vastly

JP this is a little off topic, but have you followed the many good guides in the blackstone forum and where are you running the ruu from, make sure its on the root drive not in many folders. You using XP?

Okay I've done alot to customize this phone and I love the end results. Just a few things bug me that I'm not sure there's a solution for. I've tried searching but didn't find anything helpful.
1. I installed Sprite Backup and even though the program works flawlessly, I've not only backed up data but restored as well, EVERY time I do a soft reset on my machine I get this error message saying something about SpriteStart.exe could not be opened. Yet I manually open it and it works. I tried their site and they say to reinstall. I've done that more than once, same issue.
2. On the screenshot attached, I really love this ROM/Theme/TF3D setup but I did all the tweaks to stop the internet push concept. I'd really like to remove any reference of it from this as well. Any ideas where in the registry I'd edit that or a CAB to do so that's already out there?
3. I also installed the inbox extender and I love it. I'm wondering if there's a way to set it into the menu in TF3D so I don't have to actually choose "Inbox" and go there to mark all messages read. It's an extra step that's kind of annoying for me.
I think that's all for now. Any help would be appreciated.

Okay, let's see what we have here...
1. Sprite Backup still doesn't "officially" support WM 6.5. So, there might be some sort of inherint problem there at the moment (although I know of a lot of people that have it running fine on 6.5). If you're able to manually do a backup/restore fine, it sounds like you might have a scheduled or automatic backup set? If so, try disabling any scheduled backup and soft reset. Do you still get the error after that? Also, when you uninstalled it to reinstall, did you remove every instance of the program, then soft-reset, then reinstall?
2. Do you think your pages are still being pushed, or do you just want to get rid of the push page links on the internet tab within manila? If you like, and if you already disabled push internet, you can set up your push pages as just "favorites" and set the push frequency to "never".
3. This one has actually been asked many times before. Unfortunately no one has come up with a solution yet. It's not an issue where you can simply edit a manila file, rather it's buried in an .exe or .dll (to the best of my knowledge).
Let me know if any or all of that makes sense. Good luck!
May I ask what Dusk files you used? I'm also using MightyROM w/ my Verizon TP2, but I was constantly getting freezes and flashed back to just MightyROM.

It appears to be this one.
rotation
how do i get the screen to rotate horizontally without opening the keyboard?
thanks.
It is that one but with Spike's taskbar.
Thanks for the replies guys. I ended up flashing the Mighty ROM from scratch and reinstalling the theme leaving Sprite backup off. I'll just manually sync with my desktop.
The push issue, yeah I just wanted that to not show on the internet manilla. I guess I could create my 2 most used sites and set to never push on those. Thanks!!!
One other thing:
Since I'm on Verizon, I realize that my taskbar icon shows EV instead of 3G but I don't like it. If anyone has a workaround for changing it back, let me know.

That network indicator is actually built into the custom taskbar you installed. If you'd prefer it showing 3G, you'll need to install a taskbar that has that instead. If I can find a good one, I'll post a link.
Regarding not using Sprite backup anymore, have you ever tried using Microsoft's My Phone, or there's also Dashwire, or PIM Backup too. All easy to use and all work great.
edit: Also, I believe it's tapres.192.dll that includes the network icons. So if you just want to change that icon, this is the file you'd need to replace/edit.
I actually have PIM Backup and use it all the time but just for my text messages. I guess I was wanting a full system backup so that when I screw it up playing in the registry like I did earlier today, I can just restore from backup and it be back to where it is right now... maybe I'm not being realistic.
And the icon is built into the taskbar? I didn't realize that. Does it matter what taskbar I use as long as it's meant for Manilla 2.1 and WM 6.5?

No, you're not being unrealistic at all. Check out My Phone or Dashwire. both can backup pictures, texts, contacts, etc. I personally use My Phone... good stuff.
If you have the taskbar you used, post it. I'm no artist (really, far from it), but I can see if I can tear apart the .dll and try to edit it. No promises that I'll succeed though.
You did want it to say 3G, right?
edit: Sorry, regarding the question about it mattering what taskbar you use. Since WM 6.1 and 6.5 have different taskbar layouts, they aren't compatible with each other. Manila versions won't matter.

Here's the taskbar. I grabbed it in the middle of one of the Dusk threads here but I can't find it now or I'd just point you to the post instead.
http://www.ppc-files.net/HTC%20Touch%20Pro/TF3D/TaskBar/
It's this one:
Spike's_ MicNeo_TaskBar_Varient_3_v2_MIGHTYMIKE_CDMA_FIX.cab
and Yes I love everything about it except that it shows EV instead of the 3G icon. I live in the stix and waited forever to sit at my house and see that little 3G on my phone so I realize it's silly but I still want it if possible. Thank you so much!

Haha, that is a funny (just a little). Seeing EV isn't quite as satisfying as seeing 3G when you're on the "BIGGEST 3G NETWORK" in the country!!!
Anyhow, after a little doing, this is what I came up with. Just install it (don't uninstall your current taskbar, this just adds to it) and then soft-reset. If it doesn't work for you, let me know.
Enjoy your 3G coverage... errr... icon.

I actually use and have used SPB Backup for quite some time--and it can and does all that, and then some. All though Sprite and even MyPhone are great, I have come to rely on spb backup.
You can do full or custom backups AND restores of PIM, Emails, Documents, System Data and Storage Cards. There's also a handy little sync tool so you can keep your backup .cab's auto-magically suncconfused to your desktop(or laptop). You can also restore in three different modes: New Device, New ROM, OR standard. And there's also a backup scheduler.
However, it's not free ($24, and sometimes they offer a promo code around the holidays), and as I write this I'm also on MightyROM(11.16.09) with what seems like two files from the windows library that have problems backing up--but the backups do fully restore, and I've yet to have any issues because those two files won't release during backup. Caveat Emptor.
I've looked everywhere for the answer, but can't seem to find it.
I am having trouble copying text messages from my SIM-card to my phone memory.
Is there anyone who knows how to solve that issue? I am using an HTC Diamond with WM6.5.
Thanks a lot.

Bump for visibility.
hahahahaha I had tried this for a very long time!
Seriously it too annoying!
In the end all I could do is :
put my sim in a nokia phone
transfer messages to the phone
sent them to diamond via bt!!
Sorry for the lame solution, but there is no other way!
Asus sim manager
Asus sim manager(any version) does it
Sorry dont have .exe n other related files.

allright, here's quickmade cab of asussimmgr.
idd, there's option to copy sim msgs into device(and from device to card) there, hmm nice.
i am not sure, if it will work for HTC devices(i've added policy to cab that should allow that), but i think it should.

You can also use apps below to save the sms located on sim card & import to device.
Have done so on wm2003se wm5 wm6 wm6.1 & wm6.5 custom ROMs
i don't exactly know what you guys here are talking about...
but if its simply about copying a sms from the sim to the phone (as the title suggests) then i don't see how come no one's posted the most obvious solution i've used myself before...
just as background info to those who need to know- i'm running a com5 23569 self-cooked rom on my htc gene (p3400)
and i stumbled upon the solution to this problem you mentioned while going through one of the millions of flashes and restores we chefs go through...
all i did to copy the message onto the phone memory was open the msg to view it and then hit the left soft key to open the menu and the last option on the menu list simply reads 'copy to phone'...i tap on that and voila!! its done...
do let me know if it works coz i don't think it would be this simple and yet left untried by anyone else and requiring external apps to be installed for it to be done...

regardless of fact, if it is working, i wish luck to anybody with many messages..not especially automated process, if you ask me.
for cooks(that flash frequently) matter is entirely different, btw.

don't usually have to contend with too many messages myself...this only arises when i put my sim into a temp phone while the flashing process completes...and at worst i have 4-5 messages to contend with...
ppcpimbackup is my first pick too but i don't remember trying it out on sim messages...worth a shot though...
WOW plenty of options available! thank you guys.
