remove something from programs - P3300, MDA Compact III General

hello guys.
i upgraded my p3300 with the original rom from HTC and started to reinstall applications.
when it came to agile messenger, i had several files on my computer, not knowing which one was the correct, i installed the first one i found. was an old version and when i tried it, it automatically downloaded (from the mobile) and installed the latest version.
so fine so good, but since then, when i go to start->programs i have a "messenger" icon which tries to install the old version of agile messenger again. and if i do so, it corrupts the agile messenger today plugin.
if i go to add/remove programs on my mobile phone, there is nothing related to this. i also tried to remove all agile messenger stuff and reinstall a fresh one downloaded from their web. that annoying icon in programs is still there.
so, the question is:
how can i remove an icon that is in start->programs? is it somewhere in the regisry? on the ROM? where can i find it?

solved.
with resco file explorer i went into \windows\start menu\ and deleted the "messenger.cab" file that was sitting there.

How to REMOVE Internet Explorer?

Is there some way to excise Internet Explorer from my Blue Angel? I don't like IE, never did, never use it, and use XPlite to remove it from WinXP as well. And is it so tightly integrated with the operating system that if it were to be removed I'd have a hard time getting other programs to run? Thanks.
it is into rom, if you made custom rom and remove ie files this is the only way, you can always delete ie shortcuts from \windows\start menu. There is no software like nlite for windows mobile
Thanks, xplode. I'll have to try that sometime. When I do, I'll come back to this thread and report my success/failure.

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.

Program installation failures.

This is an update on my previous topic:corrupt installations of programs.
(see below)
I also can't use the internet anymore, either way via connection with active sync by usb cable or wireless with WiFi mode. It does however states that a connection has been made, but when starting up Internet Explorer i don't get for example googles homepage.
When insterted in my desktop, active sync also replies it cannot sync properly. And i get a warning on the p3300 screen saying: could not get an ip adress or something like it.
See below the problem of my first topic:
Hi,
Could anybody provide help for me? My P3300 doesn't seem to be able to install any programs / games anymore?!? What to do, has anybody had the same experience?
Once I install a program from my desktop PC to the P3300 or when I copy the CAB-file straight to the P3300, I get the standard installation screen: "choose a location.....Device, Storage Card or Bluetooth...blablabla"
But when I tap either one, let's say Storage Card, the thing is loading and a 2 seconds later I get the same screen, but with the message: "pocketxpdf.sf.net pocketxpdf cannot be installed. To try installing again to a different location, choose a location: Device, Storagecard or Bluetooth."
How is this possible all of a sudden? Never had problems...there is enough storage space, I've never updated the ROM, just a soft-reset doesn't work either. I don't want to do a hard-reset yet until I know a way to export my Contacts so I don't have to bring them in manually again after a possible hard-reset. (since i cannot install the program EasyHelper anymore...)
Anyone have any clue, what could be wrong?
My Specs:
HTC P3300 UK (+ extended battery)
Original ROM version
WM5
Installed programs:
Windows Vista Skin
Battery Status
Pocket Mechanic
SBSH Clock
Resco Explorer
PSshutXP
Pocket Painter
Wisbar Advantage 2
TomTom WE full
Games:
Battleship
Chess
Worms
Many thanks if you could help me out!

FIXED!!!!
I fixed it!
I have no idea how, but I can install programs again. And I can connect via wLan (WiFi) and use the internet again.
What I did was: I used Sprite Backup Software for PPC on my laptop which I used a couple months ago to make a backup. I restored this backup to the phone. After, everything worked again and I could install PocketXPDF 0.5.0 finally with success.
Only side-affect: I lost recent made contacts and recently made/received SMS text messages. I think Sprite also overwrote these files with the older ones I had still on my laptop.
So,people, you see: It's always usefull to have a backup of your devices!

Need help removing an application

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.

How to remove Office6? (the traditional way didn't work)

I going through a fight to find a working version of Office Mobile for my Qtek 9090 Blue Angel running WM6.11. Nothing seems to work - especially the Word Mobile never works.
So in my desperation I tried installing a version which I later saw was meant for WM5, this one: Office.WM6.WCE.BY.cab found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305854.
In any case I'm now trying to uninstall it. I have gone through the remove program thing in settings, but the "Office6" folder still appears in the Programs folder on my device. I suppose I now need to manually remove the folders - like in good old windows style. Could someone tell me how to do that or where to find the "Office6" folder? I looked in "programs" and Windows and other places, but no luck.
Thanks in advance for hints!

Ok, I gave up on getting rid of Office 6 and instead flashed with a new ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406372. That turned out just fine and the included Office6 cab even worked
