Ok i've just thought of two things that are getting kinda irritating on my M5000.
Firstly the fact that no programs seem to un-install, Every time i try to remove any progs i get an error telling me that the uninstall was unsucsessful and asking if i wish to remove it fromt the list of installed progs.
Anyone else have this problem? is there anything we can do about it or is it a case of manually removing everything?
the other thing is the hotmail email account, i dont ever use hotmail and it annoys me having to scroll through the extra account in messaging. is there a way to remove the hotmail account?
Regarding your uninstalling problem. If it happens on all programs you try to uninstall, then your uninstaller is corrupted. If it only happens on one program, then it's probably just that the uninstall information of that program is corrupted. You may want to try other utilities to do the uninstalling (eg. SKTools).
About the hotmail, well, that's easy. Go to Messaging -> Tools -> Options, tap and hold on Hotmail, then Delete.
Have you deleted some files from "windows\appmgr" ??
I've not deleted or changed any files at all. i've had this prob with all three handsets i've had and never been able to remove programs. even since brand new. programs include sbp pocket plus sbp gprs, tom tom, code north irc, resco explorer.
i've just done a hard reset but not installed any exrom cab's so in the next few days i might figure out whats wrong.
i'm sure i've tried to delete the hotmail account before iirc the delete option was greyed out. again i'll have a look when i'm home.
FIRST: If the files have today plug-ins, you first need to disable those plug-ins prior to uninstalling.
SECOND: Have you ever tried changing your bootsplash screen using EnableRapi.CAB? If your answer is YES, then that is the culprit.
To bypass these problems, try to install the same file again, your Universal will show a window stating you need to uninstall the program 1st, press YES, then your Universal will also ask you later where to install it. You can cancel the install if all you want is REMOVE the application completely, or install the UPDATED application if that was what your initial intention.

I'm having what I think is probably a dumb restore problem...
I was trying a ROM upgrade - turned out I actually had that version installed anyway - and so ran a full backup with ActiveSync first.
The XdaIIs is working fine, however when I restore the backup to get all my stuff back there are a bunch of things it can't restore because the files may be locked or in use...:
IS_Photo_Contacts_Group
Appointments Database
\Categories Database
IA_Photo_Contacts
Contacts Database
Tasks Database
IA_P_Contacts.dll
WLan_Service.dll
connections.exe
IA_Caller_ID.exe
IA_P_DspCID.dll
AudioGW.dll
Contacts and Appointmenst are my big miss... any ideas?
If I go to Starts->Settings->System->Memory->Running Programs the oly thing running is ActiveSync which shouldn't be using those files surely..
I'd really like to get all the info back that I had in there...

Fat Monk,
I would try a task manager other than the Running Apps option to see if maybe WM isn't bringing up all the apps running in the background.
Here's one you could try at your discretion to get at the desired files:
http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/taskmaster.shtml
No joy unfortunately.
That app does seem to shut everything down, but I'm still getting the same list of files failing to restore... really frustrating.
I've browsed on the device from my PC and can see the databases directory and the appointments and contacts entries in there (the two things I'd really like to get restored) but they are not deletable, so even that brute force methd doesn't look like it will work.
Any more suggestions? Surely backing and restoring up appointments and contacts is a normal procedure...
I don;t have any extra software installed on the unit at the moment (other than having run xda_unlock_all to get rid of the SIM lock), so other than 'Today' I wouldn't have thought anything else would have locked these databases.
It's pretty annoying that the two most important things on a n organiser can be lost so easily... please help...

You are talking about MRU list, when you run program it places own icon into MRU list, if you don't want to wait, run 3-5 different programs and they pull out your "dead" icon.
Why can't I "Remove Programs"?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am using a S621 (aka S620, aka Excalibur, aka Dash) running WM6 and when I select Remove Programs (Start>Settings>More>Remove Programs) there are no programs on the list at all.
Ideas?
What is it that you want to remove? What 3rd party apps have you installed?
Any app that is part of the installed ROM won't show up in the remove programs.
If you install 50 or more apps to your device the remove program list will be blank when accessing it from settings. You will have to use activesync from your PC to remove programs.

Really? That is strange. That was probably the problem.
Anyways I had been meaning to change from the Russian ROM to the HTC Official one for a while anyways, so I just did that last night. So it doesn't matter anymore (as upgrading removed all my programs, of course), but that is good to know for the future. Thanks.

Need help REMoviNG application please?
I downloaded some applications that i decided that i didnt need (Yahoo Go, Streaming Media Player, Etc)
When i delete them out of my Folders, i still have the icon in the Start menu...is there anyway to remove the icon?
Thanks
Go to settings, page 2, click on remove programs, then choose which ones you want to remove.
If you have total commander you can take em off easily. just open total commaner, go to windows-start menu. Go to icon you want to remove and hit file softkey and delete. Takes off start menu.
Never Do That Unless Everything Else Isn't Possible
You should always go to remove programs like stated above. It's in Settings then more then remove programs. Always, do that instead of just deleting the folders. It removes everything.
Removing programs that come with rom
Hey was wondering if anyone knows how to uninstall programs such as Office mobile, command processor, orneta calculator, resco explorer, cele task just to name a few. I am running ricky's v23 and they were built into rom. I know i can flash to vanilla rom but I like the fact omap clock thats built in keeps setting on what you choose with no further need to set it again. Also like alot of his built in features so dont really wanna flash if i dont have to but wanna free up space and get rid of stuff i don't want. Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
As far as I know, you can't but there is a way but i think it is complicated. I don't quite remember what you are supposed to do but i think you'd have to basically re-cook the ROM to your personal preference. The best person to ask this would be rickywatt himself. Get in touch with him and he'll guide you in the right direction. hope everything works out the way you want it !
If you look in Rickys thread, previous ROMS, he has a "vanilla" version.
Thats the one you are looking for.

I think he just doesnt want to flash the phone, thats the reason why he was trying to find out on how to do it. it kinda takes some time to get the phone the way you like it after you flash it, I would like to know how to get rid of those programs as well with out having to flash the phone.
Remove Programs Problem
Hello,
I am trying to remove some programs I have installed, however when I go into settings > remove programs, the list is blank. I have let it sit for up to 10 minutes hoping that it would populate but no luck. I am able to remove programs with active sync. I have used the remove programs feature with no trouble in the past. Have any of you ever had this problem or know what could be preventing programs from showing up in the list?
How many programs did you have installed? I remember there used to be a problem with WM6.0 where, if you had over a certain number of programs installed, the list wouldn't display.
Hey everyone first time poster, just wanna say love the site and I come to you guys for some help........
I installed "Alfonso ThrottleLauncher" and my touch became very slow. I then attempted to remove it via Settings/System/Remove Programs. Everytime I try to remove it I get " Alfonso ThrottleLauncher was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs? " I tryed doing a soft reset and that didnt help. I also tryed removing it through MemMaid and that didn't work. Can anyone please help me get this thing off my Touch, it's running like crap.
I was under the assumption that it was making my touch slow because evertime I would open windows from file explorer it would take nearly 10 minutes to open and the ppc wouldnt run until it was opened. Now the problem i'm having is that i finally got the app removed, but the windows opening proccess is still giving me trouble. Any idea why this is happening. It only happens when trying to open windows.
The "\Windows" directory will always take longer to open due to the amount of files stored there. MemMaid should have wiped out all the files, I use and it works great. If you think there are additional files, just search the folders and registry. Or you could reinstall and use only MemMaid to clean it, I also have "Remove Bad Registry from Unistall" used during QuickClean.
Or.....hard reset if you want it all gone.
Hello there,
Recently I almost had my BA dead. Fortunately, I've managed to save it and now I'm facing a great problem. I'm so tired and I can't think of any solution, I need it fast that's why I'm asking you.
My phone during the "good times" was named something like WM_blbabla. I had all my contacts and calendar synchronised and it worked perfectly well. After disaster (i had to reinstall OS), I named my phone with some other blablabla, and although all info is still in my Outlook 2007, I can't manage to force contacts to sync with the phone. Whatever name I try, Outlook cannot send all these contacts to my phone (it doesn't create any new personal file though). How can I restore this data to my phone?
I hope you can all understand me - data is in outlook, my phone after synchronising doesn't want to download it. how do i do it
mmm, have you tried to name your ba the same as before?
that probably wouldn't help, i call my device the same name after each hard reset and every hard reset, still the old partnership needs to be deleted.
maybe you should try this: since your device seems to be rather empty these days, hard reset it again, and before even connecting it to the pc, make a backup of your outlook data file (outlook.pst) but don't copy it, move it some place else. then go to activesync or synchronisation center, depending on your os, delete all your former partnerships. now you have a clean system, open outlook, it will give you an error message, that no outlook.pst was found and if it was relocated you should give the new location, try not to do that, but let outlook make a new one, if that doesn't work, google and download an empty outlook.pst fitting your outlook version, remember, since you backed up the old one, no mail or pim information is lost. import that. if that does not work, re install outlook.
my point is: have an empty outlook, have an empty activesync and an empty device, then set up the partnership for sync and sync it, make sure to set all the options like you want them, plus the "overwrite on the device" option, when this empty syncing went well, disconnect your device, kill outlook and activesync overwrite your empty .pst with your old one, this time copying it (to still have a backup) with your old one, restart outlook and activesync or your entire pc, whatever might work best, then connect your phone. if the "empty sync" worked, your full sync with actual data will also work, and within, say, 20 minutes for this entire process, you have all your pim data restored, and then, please do yourself the favour and expecting possible future sync issues, like with some of the newer roms, use pim backup to keep a backup of your mobiles information.
this was just the result of a minor brain storming session, please don't judge me, in case your problem is so complex, this wouldn't fix it. but i guess it would still help you find the errors.
good luck

I have used Settings>System>Remove Programs to remove a game but it did not totally remove everything and the program name still exists in the program list displayed in the Remove Programs app. Can I access the list and manually delete it?
Think you need to navigate to WINDOWS->START MENU->PROGRAMS there should be a bunch on .lnk files those lnk files drive the program list
nope, that doesn't do it
The .lnk files seem to be shortcuts to the main programs. The program I'm trying to delete from the Program list that appears in the Remove Programs app doesn't even have a shortcut there. Meaning that this Program list must be located somewhere else. Does anyone know where?
What happens when you try to uninstall it again?
I get a message that reads "...was not completely removed. Do you wish to remove it from the list of installed programs?" If I say "Yes", it still does not remove it.
you may want to give the program a try:
Tms Uninstaller: Will allow you to delete programs that don't show up in the normal remove programs. Direct download in link. (freeware) ~ Thanks Senax

Thanks. That program did it. Nice little app for removing programs. It said it had to delete something from the Registry. Maybe the Program list is there somehow??
No. It's back!
Spoke too soon. That app seemed to remove the program from the list but it's reappeared! Can anyone help?
lmao...that sucks...attempt to reinstall it then delete it...
You've got company
I too am dealing w/this issue. I've even resorted to deleting everything related in the registry to no avail! Now I cannot find the cab for DHR CommMgrPro. I was going to try to installing & uninstalling again. POOP!!
