Need help removing an application - Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development

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.

PCTimer.exe features ?

Hello,
My 9090 has been changed, and I reinstalled everything.
I get from time to time a message "Notification error" "Impossible to execute My Documents\Data\pCTimer.exe".
Has someone got this file, in the same folder or one else ?
Where should it come from, and what's the use ?
Thanks for your help.
Jean-Jacques
I really dont know what is that.. but sure you can try to backup and delete the file from Windows\Startup
The fact is I miss this file, there is no data folder in My Documents :shock:
Anyone who has got the file PCTimer.exe, how did you ?
Feel free to send a link or any info.
Jean-Jacques
Did a hardboot and reinstalled.
Data folder dtill missing, but no more warning. 8)

Some program was at some time installed into your "My Documents\Data" directory, and added itself to your notification database. You've since removed the application, but the removal didn't get rid of the database entry, which is why you were getting this error.
You could have gotten a utility like Anoton Tomov's Pocket Mechanic (Look at http://www.antontomov.com), which would allow you to look at all the entries in the Notification database and even remove the offending entry.
This would have saved you hard resetting your device.
I've had a similar problem with eWallet 4.0 installed on my SD card, where I'd get an error like that if my XDA shut off before I closed eWallet.

Remove Programs List is gone

Have anyone experienced this problem before?
Just cleaned up my pc with Dinnarsoft memaid & Pocket Mechanic.
I dont know whether these programs are the ones that did it...
basically, after cleaning all the rubbish from pocket pc, I tried to remove a program, suddenly I saw the "remove program" list is empty.
I can still run all the programs on my ppc (WM5), however, it doesnt seem to be able to sync anymore...
any suggestion?
Thanks
I've got that same problem on my Cingular 8125. I'm not sure how it happened, but if I can't find a solution, then I'm going to hard reset and start re-installing apps...
same here
I have the Cingular 8125 also...very frustrated with this problem. Can't sync, cant install, cant uninstall, cant do anything related to programs adding/removal. Everything else works fine, except the "remove programs" does not have anything listed on it, not even the total program memory available...its like the phone's lost its mind...
can anyone help pls, or at least point me in the right direction?
Thanks alot
I searched and searched and could not find where anyone else came up with a solution other than to hard reset. I ended up hard resetting and installing all my applications again.
My 8125 has also been hit by this problem now.
I was installing some .exe file with activesync. Since it was taking a while to be sent to the phone from the computer, I decided to install a another .cab file in the meantime and hoped the .cab file would finish before the .exe file from the computer was done being sent to the phone. They kind of happened at the same time. I guess I was being too greedy. Then it happened.
Then I got notification that both the installations were unsuccessful.
Soft resets don't seem to do anything.

help: Error deleting file

Been running my MDA Compact III for just under a week now. Everything was going fine, tom tom working etc. Yesterday I installed SPB Pocket Plus , now I can't connect via activsync and can't delete any files (from phone or memory card), get the error message....
Error Deleting File
Cannot delete 'filenamehere': Access is denied.
Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and the file is not currently in use.
What have I done? I've tried a soft reset, that didn't work. I've took the memory card out and can delete files when I put it in a card reader. I'm hoping if changed a setting somewhere but I can't for the life of me work out what I've done.
Can anybody offer any suggestions?
I've never had problems after SPB Pocket Plus was installed. Currently I don't have it installed on my device since I use it solely just for navigation thus I cannot find a more concrete solution but to try uninstalling SPB Pocket Plus and see if your problem is solved.
Thanks for your reply, couldn't uninstall anything so had to go down the hard reset route. Wasn't too bad though, I got back up and running in about an hour will all my programmes installed and working again.
Still don't know what happened though.

activesync problems
iam also facing the same problem. is there any alternative solution for this problem other than hard reset.
thanx
It may have nothing to do with Pocket Plus but rather the mysterious problem discussed here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285511
I had the same message and couldn't delete the erroneous files. My solution was also to hard reset.
My view
Oh i had the same problem,these files become stacked and are due to long paths,use the tool available at pathtoodeep.com ,it is a tool which deletes and also searches such undeleteable files and also assists in installation and sharing of long pathed files

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.

Blue Angel Programs Installed, Wont Get Removed !!!

Hi Guys

Does any one have any I dea to remove the programs pls
Regards.
Been there!
Had a similar problem a while back

The only solution I found was to wipe the Rom and start again! Sucks, but it seemed to be the only option.
Go get a PIM backup utility - Spb Backup - and save all the PIM data then do a full ROM update (even if it's to the same ROM you have now - you need to fully reinstall)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueAngel_WM5_For_Beginners
Still, look on the bright side - it's a chance to clean away all the clutter, and update to the latest ROM ;-)
I would advise getting a piece of cloning software (Spb Clone) and using it reguarly as you are reinstalling! Then, if this happens again, you can just clone back to the last version that worked!

(I think Spb Software should be paying me, with all the advertising I keep doing for them on these forums )
