Can you not just go to "Remove Programs" and get rid of it from there?

You could try this;
Go to start-settings-today. Click the items tab. Remove any of the o2 stuff from there and okay back to the home page. Close the Active UI if it's still open. Do a soft reset and then go to remove programs and get rid of it.
Not 100% sure it'll work 'cause I don't want to test it (I like one of two of the Active UI features, although I disable it most of the time).
Try going to START|Settings|TODAY|ITEMS| and unchecking O2AUI
Any idea if there is a way to add personal application shortcuts into the O2AUI..?
Hi, i just got an XDA IIs and have been reading up as it does seam to crash regually. and i heard that removing the o2 active peice of crap helps. but i cant find anywhere how to do it?
Cheers Paul
The best way to get rid of O2 active is to hard reset, when the screen apears asking "PRIVATE OR CORPORATE" install select corporate then enter 0506 in the password field.
If you do this back up your phone and address book to the SD card, before you hard reset - do not try to re-install all your programs etc from back up following the hard reset, as doing this re-loads part of the rubish you are trying to get rid of - believe me if you do this it really screws up the handset - I tried it - wouldn't charge in the car, kept locking up etc. The sooner you do the hard reset the easy it will be - less applications to re-load - good luck _ Mike
Hi all,
I to am trying this reset process with an O2 XDA, when it hard resets I am not getting the screen asking me for "PRIVATE OR CORPORATE", any ideas as to why?
Can someone also confirm the Hard Reset sequene?
Many thanks
Paul
what i do is, after the hard reset (and choosing personal) and having it do all its stuff, first, remove/disable all O2 stuff from the today screen (start -> settings -> today -> remove all the o2 stuff in both tabs).
then start -> settings -> remove programs, remove all the o2 active VR stuff.
probably a message will pop up, noting some directories it doesn't remove. after removal is done, just go to file manager, and manually delete those directories.
seems to remove it for me =)
Mackster, you only get about five seconds to select the mode you want, if you don't do anything it will install personel mode as default - Why O2 insist on puting this rubish on there badged machines is beyond me - it makes a nice bit of kit into rubish, Ive had no problems since getting shut of it, even O2 support by phone will tell you to take it off as the first line for most queries - Mike
Paul, the thing I did was hard reset, and when it gives me a warning that programs will be installed in 3 seconds, I did a soft reset. After the soft reset, it won't try to install the programs anymore. I think this gives you the CLEANEST install.
When I did the Corporate setup, it still installed the PDF viewer, blah blah... I would like to control what I put in my PDA, even if they are useful programs. Hope this helps.

Sorry to dig this topic up, but I was looking for a solution and came up with one myself and thought I'd post it incase it comes in handy for anyone else.
Right, to disable the O2 Active UI from running...
Code:
Programs -> File Explorer
- Go to \Windows\Startup (make sure you have \ not \\ at the beginning if entering a path name)
- Delete the "connections" program
Soft Reset
This should stop the little O2 icon from appearing in the taskbar. For completeness, you'll probably want to stop any of the other O2 apps from running as well...
Code:
settings -> today -> items
- untick o2aui
- untick clockinfo
- untick o2BatteryPlugin
- OK
Soft Reset (to be sure)
Personally, I like the battery plugin, because its actually quite practical. Anyway, if you want to completely remove the software, do as follows...
Code:
Programs -> File Explorer
- Go to \Windows\Fonts
- Delete or rename the xpdr_02 (font) file
Settings -> System -> Remove Programs
- Select the O2 active UI from the list and click remove.
The UI should now be removed. It will probably tell you that it was successful, though some directories remain. You can delete them manually if you wish, but they shouldn't matter.
If you need/want to re-install the O2 software, you can do so from the software CD provided with the XDA, or it may be still available from the add/remove programs menu in ActiveSync.
You'll have probably noticed there's quite a lot of programs in the \Windows\Startup folder. I'm not sure what all of them do, but I bet you can get better start up times by removing some of them. Be careful though!
Enjoy
Thankyou to all that helped me out.
Many thanks

Does anyone know where it is so I can copy it - I've tried searching but nothing comes up

remove O2aui
Hi there,
I have seen so many clever hints how to successfully remove the O2aui from the device that I wonder what's wrong with simply goint to settings/system/remove programs and remove Mobile Solutions SRL O2ActiveUI v... ?
Would this remove more functions that I actually need?
Thanks for your comments.
Cheers

You guys are amazing.
That company HCT should put you people on a permanent retainer.
I can testify that 0506 works to stop the O2 interface program being installed.
My XDA is now O2-free, and my lady's XDA is running an Orange Pay-as-you-go card.
As good as we think the XDA is, it would be nowhere near as good without this board and forum. The only problem we have had is actually finding the tricks to use.
A sticky or a permanent post would be most helpful. You folks all know how to do things like Hard Re-sets and have forgotten the time when you didn't. Just those two simple things... a hard re-set and that 0506 trick... have profoundly enhanced my use and experience of my XDA.
BTW in case anyone is thinking of buying one, we got a Stowaway Portable Keyboard with one of our XDAs, and we think it's pretty good. You have to remember to turn off the IRD when you want to use the keyboard, but aside from that, it was a good addition for us.

Hi all,
I've seen many times around the Web some official pictures of the T-Mobile Dash showing a photo contacts plugin.
A picture of what I'm referring to can be found here http://www.pocketpcitalia.com/News/2007/01/L-HTC-S620-tra-i-20-prodotti-p/2.jpg.
Can anyone tell me what the photo contacts underlying software the plugin belongs to and if it's possible to install it to a HTC S620 as well?
Your help will be highly appreciated
Cheers,
Diego
That's from pictures advertising/promoting T-Mobiles MyFaves plans, that allow you to have free calls to the top 5 favorite people on your plan. They are showing this phone has the ability to manage your top 5 faves. I don't know though if there is really a plugin or it truly shows them on your homescreen??
Thanks a lot for your reply yoos.
Cheers!
This is a alternative for what your looking for. Closest thing I could find and works really well...

Sometimes, the uninstallation of a program requires a reboot to fully take effect.
anyone got this to work with Kavana 6.1? it says the plug in was installed to my homescreen but it doesn't show up.
I was able to get it to work, the only problem is the fonts are kinda small. I'm trying to figure out a way to see if I can make them any bigger.
Here's a link and some screen shots.
http://gadgetsonthego.net/2007/03/palms-threaded-sms-app-works-on-t.html
quick one, where do you get this famous threaded sms app?
i'm sure the font issue is a registry tweak
I have the app from my Treo 700wx. You can get this app on the web, TreoCentral is a good place to start.
the other problem with the app is that you can't get back to your inbox without closing the app out first. I have set task manager to a speed dial so I press "2" to close the app then I get back in my inbox and can navigate between inbox,outbox, drafts etc. Otherwise the app works very well.
I couldnt get it to uninstall. I tried doing it through "remove programs" but no luck. Oh well it had already been like a week since I formatted
Hey there,
I got the CAB file - how do I install it?
Install it the same way you do any .cab file. I usually put it in my programs folder on my Dash using Activesync, then navigate to that folder on my Dash and open the .cab.
Thanks! I installed it. Any idea on the hacks / changes I need to make to get it working? When I run the program, i'm good to go. however, there's no way to go "back". When I press the "<-" button on my Dash, it exits the program.
So if I'm in a threaded chat with someone, I can't get back to the view where i choose which converesation to enter. Anyone know of a good guide to get it working?
Thanks so much!
That's the problem, it wasn;t designed for a smartphone, it was for ppc phones. The way I get around this is I set task manager to my speed dial #2 and I have to end the app. Then I can get back into the inbox. It's a bit annoying, but I still find it better than our other options right now. It was never intended to run on a non-touch screen device, it actually surprised me when I got it running.
I got it running back in December, and was happy it still worked with WM6.
This is when I got it running on WM5:

Notifications?
Did anybody ever get the font to a readable size, or get it to make a notification sound? I searched to no avail...
no... still squinting read the damn texts... i have the files if anyone needs them! just pm me!
btw... did anyone find out a registry hack to map the back button to going back to the main menu of palm sms threader? so annoying to go to task manager... close it and then open it again! any idea how to uninstall it and go back to regular wm6 sms? hard reset?! eek
Hi,
Where can I download this application.
I used to use TXTman with WM5 and it was ok. But its not working well with WM6.
pm me please.

Has anyone had any luck running TxTMan on WM6 or any threaded SMS program for that matter? I just installed it, but it won't read my SMS messages through TxTMan when the program is open.
no luck with this app it sounds interesting..
give THIS a shot

The Opera browser does it automatically. For everything else, practically every TP2 owner has installed 'Gyrator 2' or 'screenChanger' (my favourite), which are free apps utilising the G-Sensor. They run pretty much silently and allow you to configure which programs you want to rotate etc.
Get the TP2 - You know you want to.
Yes. But only by sliding out the keyboard. You can use the G sensor, but then you have to adjust the registry.
Theres a reg hack to enable the change orientation function to be shown in the screen to change button assignments. So you can set when you hold down the send button it changes to landscape mode. And you don't have to pull out the keyboard!
I can't remember what it was mind.. but it's on these forums somewhere.
thank you all.
thank you brynweb for those programs.
thank you quarintus.
andrewrees: if you remember the post, please tell me.
thanks a lot
i have tried Gyrator, and the problem i´ve seen is that the program must be running if you want to rotate screen.
correct or im wrong?
you dont need to use any program
there is a reg hack on here to allow it to tilt auto in things like calender etc etc

I did the reg that doesnt need any program running and it works great. With a bit of modding I got it to do TomTom, too.
TomTom on PDA is OK, but it still doesnt have text to speach for spoken street names.

changeScreen does a better job of hiding itself than Gyrator. One day I'll use the reg hack, but I'm still in the tinkering stage where I can't make up my mind about what programs I want to rotate, so it's easier for me to use the program option right now.

That is correct. However, mine starts itself at startup and you can tell it to minimise when it starts, so you don't need to worry about starting it up all the time. It also doesn't use much memory, so you don't need to worry about that either.
