cant remove a theme.. - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

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!

HELP - Uninstall Fonts?

I have been playing around with system fonts and I have forgotten to uninstall between trying each font cab...
Now, some of the text does not change back from one particular font!
(see attached image: note service provider, calendar text - also on slider page titles...)
Do I have to hard reset to get this back to normal, or is there something else I can try?
Just to let you know, I am not experiences in registry editing, I have only been installing/uninstalling cabs.
I'm running standard, updated HTC UK ROM.
Thanks for any help!
fonts
just reinstall the font cabs that you forget to uninstall. It will says font already installed, overwrite? Answer yes. If it says font cannot be uninstalled, continue, just answer yes. Reboot, and it will be uninstalled.

I cannot remove GTX Sense 2.5 theme

I installed it and now I want to remove it but when I do it says GTX Team GTX Sense 1.7.1 was not completely removed. do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs? I press yes and it still stays there any ideas I even deleted all its files from the phone that I could find
you have to hard reset your phone because the gtx sense mod changes some internal manila files. so back up all of your data then go to start > settings > system > clear storage

Reinstall the theme.. When you clock on the cab, itl say do you wanna uninstall, then "it was not fully removed" or something, click yes that you still wanna install, and voila itl be gone

CHECK YOUR PMs
apk not installed
What I did in your situation is that I transferred the APk to androidsdk/tools. I used command prompt to adb push the swipe apk, then I exit prompt. That worked for me.

[SOLVED]Android has no launcher

I ended up unistalling all launchers in my p500, now everytime i turn it on it gets stuck at the android logo screen, simply wont go any further
is there any way i can install an app from my computer or flashing it?
thx ahead
It is in boot loop because your phone has no launcher to boot into. Only way to install is via adb maybe or doing a fresh install of your ROM.
Swyped from my LG-P509 using XDA App.
check this or this
i still have spb 3d installed on this phone
is there any way i can set this as the default launcher outside the phone?

my phone is not listed as a virtual device on AVD manager
im not sure if it is set to debugging mode either
what do I do?
thx for your help man
__________________
edit: i created a new avd for my phone but when i start it the following comes up:
invalid command-line parameter: Files\Android\android-sdk\tools/emulator-arm.exe.
Hint: use '@foo' to launch a virtual device named 'foo'.
please use -help for more information

i just realised how stupid my last post was, no need to mention it
ok heres the problem, even if i have to do a fresh install of my ROM, how can i set my phone into debugging mode first?
the only way i can access my phone is when i hard reset it then it boots once even with no launcher, but i cant go to configurations or anything
I do have recovery in this phone, is there any way i can flash a zip to install a launcher or something like that?
this is really starting to worry me
You are not telling us what ROM are you using. But since you have a custom recovery installed, I suppose it's not an official ROM. So, as a last resort, you can flash your ROM once again. You won't lose your apps, contacts, settings etc., but the default launcher of that ROM will be back on.
Also, for crying out loud, if you have a custom recovery, why don't you have a backup? It would have saved you a lot of trouble.

I have an official unbranded version from LG, v10a_02 if I recall correctly
when i try to flash the ROM from a zip file i get this message:
E: No signature (1 files)
E: Verification failed
the reason why i dont have a backup its because it was all a huge accident, i had launcher pro installed, then i wanted to try spb 3d out but it only worked as soon as i installed it, it kept coming back to launcher pro so i uninstalled launcher pro and thats the result

now another error came up, which means im doing something wrong
E:Can't find update script
thx for all the help guys
No info about which recovery you are using, no info about what ZIP you are trying to flash either... eh.
Anyway, what on earth are you doing here. Just adb push some launcher APK to /system/app from recovery.
Anyone kindly give him a flashable zip.
Or
When you boot up, press search button and type the name of file manager installed on your phone.
Your file manager should show up. Click it and go to SD card and install any launcher apk from there.
Play with search button. Look for file manager, settings, any other app by long pressing it and find your way to reach SD card.

I did that, turns out its impossible to go anywhere without a launcher, i could only go to the wifi settings by turning it on

thanks this was really helpful, i didnt know you could use adb from recovery mode
Problem solved!
I mounted /data on recovery and pushed Launcher.apk to /data/app
and it worked
thanks everyone
Good. Now, do not do it again!
Two more things for you to do:
1. Optional: edit the topic's name to begin with [SOLVED]
2. Mandatory: make a complete backup using the recovery
New very simple solution

Actually I got this problem of no launcher on my galaxy mini, deleted samsung launcher and all other launcher also by mistake.
Search for "[GUIDE/DOWNLOAD] Install apk files quickly from computer to your device" thread on XDA, I follow that, installed GoLauncher using usb,
(I was stuck at Samsung logo, no notification bar, opened Kies, it automatically connected phone, still on samsung logo)
disconnected using kies, problem solved.
Hope this solution will help those who don't know about deeper android things. Thanks.

[Q] Miui themes not applying

Every time i try to update the theme on MIUI i keep getting "New font library may cause some apps to display incorrectly. reboot to fix this issue", when I hit ok sometimes it says applied successfully. However when I reboot nothing happens at all, its the standard theme and thats that. I've re wiped and formatted everything and reinstalled and still nothing. Can somebody help me out with this?

Try creating a "theme" folder under data/system with rootexplorer, so it should read data/system/theme.
NVIDIA NEVER AGAIN!

It's not on the SD card or internal storage, it's on the phone itself. You have to use an app like Root Explorer to browse your phone's file system.
Sent from my MIUI G2x
worked like a charm thanks
Perfect!! For those out there having issues finding a good root explorer, I found "Solid Explorer" worked like a glove! Thanks!
