Hello all,
I have a problem, i installed a .cab file which was taskbar icons.. now half the icons didnt work so i wanted to delete it through "remove programs" in settings as i always do.. but for some reason when i highlight the program and click "remove" it says "Darklord69 Tasbar was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?"..
It wont remove it self from my system and it has completly stuffed up my icons.. is there another way i can delete programs and some how fix this issue?
Thank you.
Anyone had this same issue?
remove it, then when its says "cannot be removed" click ok, then install it again.... this should get rid of it
Do not remove from programs list, sort reset, then go and remove again. Should work.
Thanks guys.
I have tried all that but it didn't work i had to reset my phone back to manufactors default.

I am using Faria's Rom [the real thing], and today when I tried to intall the beta 3 version of battery Status to the ROM it couldn't complete the instalation. Then I went to add/remove programs menu to delete the previous version of the Battery Status, however, the were no programs listed there. The list is empty. I remember having this problem once when I tried the MB Rom. Any suggestions?

That is because the program in built into the ROM and therefore cannot be removed using the remove programs. Go ahead and download the update and install it.
Nope, I know that, but I have a lot of other programs that I installed myself. About 10 of them, and they all seem to be working fine, however I don't see them in add/remove programs.
Are the programs your using installed via activesync, do they show in activesync as installed programs? were they installed on a storage card?

The active sync doesn't connect to the device. All the programs were installed in main memory.
it sounds like you might have to go back and install them through active sync. It might not work, but it would sort of force active sync to recognize your programs, do you know what i mean?

Yes, but when I said add/remove programs menu, I meant the one that is in the phone, not in the active sync. I don't see the one in the phone menu
I think that if you want to update a program that's already in the ROM you will have to run th CAB, then remove it with the add/remove programs option, and then re-install it. otherwise the device may not recognize the updated version.

I had the same problem after upgrading to the BatteryStatusExt.1.04.203.beta4.CAB. I could not activesync, could not delete, move or rename any files with File Explorer, could not install any CAB files and there were no programs in the Add/Remove programs list (even though like you, I had 10 or so installed). I was able to remove the BatteryStatus folder using TotalCommander but unforutenly, this did not help.
I had no choice but to hard reset my device which of course sorted the problem.

I've had the add/remove go blank on me several times...would not allow me to install any cab's...and obviously I could not uninstall anything if it wasn't listed. The sad thing is a hard reset is about the only fix. I started using Sprite Backup so if it happened I could get back to a recent image. It always seemed to occur about the time I went into camera settings and made changes too but I couldn't nail down the culprit..the one time I took an image, then did the camera settings, of course it worked fine. I know you won't like my answer..I sure didn't when it happened to me.
Hey i just hard reset my device and now when i try and reinstall skype and Sktools it says that install unsuccessful when i try and install....
does anyone know whats wrong???
its a bit weird because i uninstalled both programs before hard reset, and now i dont know what to do
maybe you should specify which ROM and which device you're using.
Did you install apps to your storage card or device? Did the apps unistall properly, that is to say is there still the program folder present? If the app folder is still present, delete it, soft reset and try to install again.
i was trying to uninstall the starview fallout theme 2.0 from my htc to go back to default theme, but each time i try to uninstall the theme, it said: "...was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?"
even if i say YES, it still show on the list..now i'm stuck with this theme not matter what other theme i install after..
is there a way to fix this? which directory is the theme installed on the sd card, maybe i can manually delete the files that way to restore back to default theme?
I get this sometimes and I find out that installing the app again removes it (yes I said install). This worked for me many times over. Try this first.
thank you,this did work..strange haha

Go to File explorer and find the file where you download. click the file then it will tell you (The previous version of "name the file" will be removed before the new one is installed.) Select ok then select yes and click install ( don't worry, it will remove after restart) please check on application and make sure the file isn't there anymore!
hope this help!

Use sktools or memmaid for this
Databases > Database Usage> Highlight "SwMgmtMetadataStore" > Action > View Content > highlight the offending entry > Action > Delete.

I am by no means a computer or phone guru...just curious about things. Apparently i got a little to careless with my curiosity. I have rooted my phone using z4 and started to delete files I thought i did not need. At first I couldn't download anything from the market so I unrooted the phone and then reset it. I then got the message SORRY! The appication HTC Sense(process com.htc.launcher) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. I have factory reset the phone, cleared the sense data in settings that was able to get to...but nothing changes. Can anyone help me with this problem?
it seems your home launcher program (sense) is the problem. try signing into your gmail and going to market.android.com on ur computer. then search for luancher pro, and click install. then once it installed on your phone, click the home buttom, and then check off "select as default" and then click launcher pro. hope this helps!
Or just re-flash the rom.. Don't delete data partition and you should be fine with all your personal settings kept when you re-flash.

I had the same problem and i couldnt figgure out how to uninstall him...
But there is one easy step - Need to uncheck somewhere in options if i remember correctly (special permissions or admin premmisions) or somrthing like that... I cant remember because it was a long time ago...
So uncheck it and you can unninstall the programm - The feature prevents program deleate(ex - somekind of virus could maybe deleate AV and then take the system) this function dosent allow it... so also user(you) cannot unninstall whitout disabling it...
Thx guys I got it to delete using your suggestions...thx again...Tj
