Hi.
I'm trying to remove 2 hotfixes (owner information&mp3 for sound calls) that I installed on my Touch2.I later found out that my phone was manufactured for Middle East&Africa and I installed the hotfixes for Europe.I remove one of them(owner information) from Remove Programs but it says it can not remove everything.I looked out in the registry (registry->HKLM->Software->Apps) and there are still there.
Can you help me to remove them completely?Step by step ,please.
Thanks.
P.S.:Sorry,I think I had to put this thread in another section.
Look in your windows explorer under programms there propably some remains......
Also, you can try the SKTools.
You have multiple clean and uninstall options there.

Hi,
Originally posted in the Universal forum, but no response. So am trying here in case anyone has had any similar issues.
After installing and then removing SMAATO news reader I have lost my windows mobile 2nd boot screen.
I know its called welcomehead.192.png and is located in Windows
The file is still there in ROM and I have also copied it across into Windows again (solution offered by searching through other threads). However when I soft reset after the Orange screen, all i get is a white screen.
Can anyone let me know how to restore, I believe other users have had issues with pss reader too.
Thanks in advance. (My device is the M5000)
Matt
Having the same "problem" from the same cause for the last 2 months.....got used to it though, since it does not affect functionality....
white screen
Sorry can't help but I have exactly the same problem due to the same cause on Prophet (SPV M600) so any help would be greatly appreciated.
Have contacted SMAATO, so will let you know.
Other users have had same issue with PRSS Reader and for them, when they uninstalled the reader, their splash screen came back.
Matt
white screen
cheers - look forward to hearing. Wonder if it's coincidence that we're both uk orange? You'd think there would be a reg tweakt hat would point to the second screen to load.
SMAATO replied and said they are looking into it!!
I read from some people that installing PRSS Reader also causes this issue - but that uninstalling restores the boot screen. I tried this but it didnt restore my screen.....and the uninstaller didnt remove the PRSS app completely - resulting in more searching on the web to find out all of the files/reg keys to get rid of.
I do wonder to myself why I installed SMAATO/PRSS in the first place!!
Matt
Thanks for getting back - no doubt it will be hard reset which I dread!
Have you tried that? or doesn't even that help.
If there's any chance of you listing the files/reg entries to delete I'd appreciate that as I had same problem & simply searched ppc for anything with somaato in it, so I'm sure I've still lots of cr*p left on it.
cheers
Hard resetting does restore the boot screen, however restoring a backup will give you the same behaviour - unless that backup is from before SMAATO deinstallation

Hi,
In your post you mentioned about manual uninstall. I dont know about SMAATO that uninstalled OK, but for PRSSReader - to perform a manual uninstall:
1. Disable today plugin, if it is active
2. Delete registry keys:
HKCU\Software\DaProfik\pRSSreader
HKLM\Services\pRSSreader
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Today\Items\pRSSreader
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Apps\David Andrs pRSSreader
3. reboot the device
4. delete files:
\windows\AppMgr\David Andrs pRSSreader.dll
\windows\David Andrs pRSSreader.unload
\windows\zlib1.dll
\windows\libexpat.dll
\windows\prssrtoday.dll
\windows\prssrenc.dll
\windows\prssrsrv.dll
<installation path>\pRSSreader
Hope this helps.
Matt
Since I got some ActiveSync-problems, I tried cleaning out my device and finally found the cause of the white boot screen:
Older versions of pRSSreader install a zlib.dll to \Windows\ overwriting the built-in one. Now I just renamed that to zlib1.dll (couldn't delete, because it was in use) and on my next reboot: voilà - there was the 2nd boot screen again!!
Newer versions of pRSSreader install the file as zlib1.dll.
Cheers,

Nice one mbirth you're a star - worked no problem!
Just curious - Do you know what zlib is? and is it safe to delete it now it's renamed and soft reset?
Thanks once again
P.S. I now have zlib.dll; zlib1.dll; AND zlibce.dll !

I can also confirm that it works brilliantly!!
With regards to getting rid of the old file - I renamed zlib.dll to zlib1.dll. After my device booted correctly I moved the zlib1.dll to my storage card and all is still ok. If you have something like total commander, after showing ROM files the zlib file is listed in the windows directory. If you hide them - then you shouldnt see any zlib.dll files - unless another application has installed them, but a clean device will only have the zlib.dll in ROM
Hope this helps.

zlib = gzip-compression-library. See Wikipedia. I guess the deflate-algorithm used for PNG files was faulty or missing in the pRSS-version of zlib. With deleting that file, you have the original built-in version back active.
If you already have the newer version of pRSSreader, you might want to rename the file to something different than zlib1.dll since pRSSreader 1.3 already installs a zlib1.dll.
After a soft-reset, you can safely delete the renamed file.

Hi folks,
hope you can help me here cause my beloved german forum is dying out..
After a hard reset i was able to restore all my programs and settings quite fast (got used to it cause hard reset solved many recent problems *g*).
But suddenly neither the original file browser nor Smart Explorer can execute cab installation file.
The only changes i made might be some settings with the OS RegTweaker or AmpTweaks but cant find any that would explain it.
Anyone know the Regitry setting that might prevent user from executing cab files so i can undo this limitation?
Thanks for the help, miss the SKTools and will miss future programs
Edit: its done.. it was AmpTweaks, the first tweak
Post can be DELETED

Have you installed Documents to go app??
Because i faced the same problem when i installed the app. I dint find any way to reverse it. You would need to hard reset it again. or you will have to install apps from activesync
I have a qtek9000 and a 2gb sandisk sd card. i downloaded
http://vidmes.com//Uni/ROMs/BeastyLeo/2.07.04.BL/Vanilla.rar
and installed it with no problems, system rebooted (before reboot i inserted sd card in) and started installing some cabs and finally rebooted once more.
My problem:
after startup i have this error message ""sddaemon cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of it's componets cannot be found. You might need to reinstall or restore this file"
and when i check programs i see there are programs that are installed but the icons are blank, and they wont launch.. i also tried rom ranju, same thing...
What am i doing wrong? I serached but i couldnt find any links, if it is posted somewhere, can u please send me a link at least
thnx
RE:
Did you unlocked your mobile, goto the sticky note on WM6 that tells you how to unlock your phone first
for the sddaemon message, goto \windows\startup
yo will find a shortcut for sddaemon, just remove it
Thanks

Hi,
Sounds to me as though you have not cleared your storage after having flashed the roms...... did u hold the two soft keys on the keyboard whilst pressing the reset button and then selecting 0 to clear the storage.
Failing that I wouls use MTTY to restore your DOC.
@mehegazy: if my device is locked how did i install wm6 at all? i can install wm6 and wm5 without a problem, and i can install programs manually...works perfect. problem seems to be with specific roms that install programs automated at startup.. Also removing the shortcut from the startup actually doesn't resolve the problem, cause that means that program is not working...
@beast0898: i ve cleared the storage, that can't be the problem..
Funny thing is, after reboot it installs some programs and resets without a problem. But i see that some programs are installed and some of them has blank icons that do not launch..
Also is there a wm6 rom that actually modified for the best performance of system + without apps?
thanks all for helping
hello, i am trying to delete FTouchFlo from my startup folder and i get the "cannot delete 'FTouchFlo' there has been a sharing violation. The source or destination file may be in use." error. why is this? i want to delete it because it is causing me certain problems. thank you to anyone who can help me with this problem.
that's because those files are in the ROM.

Having you tried browsing your device with your PC and delete from there...also use something like phm task to see if there are any hidden tasks running related to it..also ensure your registry is cleared of it....If I were you I would make a HR my last resort....thats my 2 cents worth. GOOD LUCK.

i got it fixed today. this was a lil wierd. i had touch-commander installed(trail versiom) and when i unintalled it, the FTouchFlo file was stuck in the startup file. and it would not delete. all i did in case anybody else ever runs into this problem, i intalled the original htc cube and then uninstalled it and bingo, i was able to delete it outta there.
Whenever I install a program onto my SD card it does not show up in the list on the remove programs application. I also notice that if I install something on the device it does not appear on the remove program list and it does not create anything in the My Device\Program Files but the program does work. Is it possible that the programs and the uninstall data are being written somewhere they are not supposed to be. I have an O2 XDA Exec which has been flashed with windows mobile 6.1. Any help would be appreciated as I now have a large number of programs that I have installed to try out and now cannot remove them.
What program are you trying to install?
It is not a specific program I am trying to install which is causing the problem. All of the programs I have installed over the last week or so do not show up in the remove programs list.
Does anyone know were the uninstall information is kept in WM6.1

OK, pretty weird. I think the best (and maybe only) way to solve it, is flashing another, more stable ROM.

Uninstall info is kept in several places. You should get files in \windows\appmgr that list all the stuff installed. Also, the program is recorded in \mxip_swmgmnt.vol. Finally, there are reg entries for installed apps. I think the main one is hklm\software\apps. It has the install directory. Apps don't appear in the list if the cab is not uninstallable.
If you have sk tools, use it to install\un-install cabs. It's much better than the stock method.
