[SOLVED] How to remove an item from the remove programs list? - Touch HD Themes and Apps

WIPPIE
I have solved it...I have quickly read something somewhere and the memmaid really helped me in the end....
if you will have the same problem here it goes:
1.install memmaid
2. open it and open the second tab in it (bottom)
3. then where it says notification queue, select databse usage
4. select SwMgmtMetadataStore and click Browse
5. find the app that annoys you
and then it should be all gone
Also I have removed every single trace in the registry and every file I could find...
Hope someone will find this helpful...
THANK YOU who wrote this post...
------original msg------------------------------
Hey guys
I searched, found lot of stuff but not very helpful...
Is there some very quick solution for this?
Thanks.

Suggestion: Would removing it from HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\AppInstall registry entries work?

Thanks for reply...
I have removed almost everything...
Now I have even tried MemMaid...but somehow this doesnt help it either...
OMG this is so stupid...

Wierd text message on boot up?

Everytime I reboot my phone I get a text message that says
Code:
From:1121611611
453 Error Invalid Number. Please re-send using a valid 10 digit mobile number or valid short code. 06050415CC15CC60D8
Anyone know how to turn it off?
This is a unlocked Dash running on Cingular so that might be the problem anyone else have this?
Is it possible that the phone is sending a text for the myfaves feature? Cingular would obviously not know what to do with it.
I don't know. I am hoping someone else here has a unlocked one on cingular so they can tell me.
delete my5fav from startup folder
I have the same problem but I can't delete the shortcut. I have My5MsgCenter highlighted, select Menu > Edit > Delete is grayed out/disabled. Is there another way to delete it?

use a registry editor to rename. then reboot device and use registry editor to delete.
reg editor:

You got that when using the Tmo WM6 and aren't Tmo. Am I right?
Why don't you use the proper HTC WM6 upgrade? The TMo WM6 is customised for Tmo customers...
Anyway, use Windows Mobile Total Commander to delete/rename stuff. The builtin File Explorer is too limited on some stuff. Won't let you delete stuff which is vaguely related to startup or system.
There are various threads on the subject. Would recommend to read any posts related to my5fav on this forum section to see what is actually needed to be removed, deleted, to make sure those SMS won't annoy you.

Just so you know, this thread is the only thing my5fav turns up in all the forums.
Guess it's referred to by a different name?
nm, myfaves turned up stuff.

Hard Reset

Hello all, I have an Dash with a broken screen so I can't see anything. Is there a way I can do a hard reset via computer or maybe some sequence of keys on the handset. I really need to get my contacts & data off of the phone before I return it. Thanks in advance for any help

You could check this worked by conecting via async and checking folders, you will tell because all will be removed, old programs etc.
Thanks that's good info. But the only thing is I can't see the screen to follow the on screen prompts. The screen shows nothing but what looks to be black & white ink

Follow it to a t and even without the screen you should be able to do it?
I am guessin you can still hook up to computer?
Could do with some help here from other users, could lil just delete the .pim via async and it would delete contacts?
Where are messages stored? So they can be deleted....
Re Deleting all info
Hook up via async and delete these cemail.vol will delete the the mms and sms
Contacts, Calendar are all stored in a database file called PIM.VOL that in the root directory.

Ok now where would I find these files once I hook up to pc via async?
well its not going to work..here is the issues. the CEMAIL.vol file is in use basically whenever the phone is on. so you cant just copy or delete it or you get an error and it fails. i have been looking around a bit and havent found an excalibur specific solution this this. give me a few minutes to play around
and you will see the files in the root directory..root directory is where you will see program files, storage card, windows etc.. when you connect via activesync and browse to it with explorer..scroll down and you will see the files.
make sure you have your pc set to show hidden and system files your you wont see some things..
Ok I'll wait on the response & b sure to have pc show hidden files. I also want to thank U guys 4 ur help thus far

You know how the phone async explorer integrates with explorer on comp does this not mean you could use an unlocker and unlock the file in question then delete? Long shot.
I have an unlocker to which i could attach if any use?

its a sharing violation because that files is in use.
here is the problem. if we can go into the registry and change the path for the mms/sms and reboot...it will create a blank .vol file in the new path that was created in the registry ...therefore freeing the one that we need to delete.
or so thats my theory...let me install pim back up and back my stuff up...i have some texts i need so i cant just go deleting just yet.
yes i have yahoo IM ([email protected])
What IM do U have?
Thanks guys 4 all of your help. I finally got it to reset holding the 2 soft keys & the send key. Thanx again

Cool glad you got it sorted, knew you would be able to reset blind
Was there any fix for the cemail, though? I saved my cemail.vol before a hard reset, and would like to restore it now, but i always get a sharing violation error.

Remove "messaging" from the Today screen so that the file is not in use, and restart. It should now be deletable.
Hi, Hope you can help, I upgraded the ROM on my dash and it kept freezing and would not connect to active sync. I reset it as it said here but it is still the same it appearts to be frozen and none of the keys work, not even the power button.
Any ideas please?

Help with Mortscript?!:confused:

Hi all, i hope someone can help me.
Everytime I soft-reset a annoying shortcut named "EasyMenu" comes back in my menu, even when I delete it.
So I made a script that will delete the shortcut.
That worked with:
Delete( "\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\EasyMenu.lnk" )
Only when I place the script in the StartUp folder it wont work, I think because the script will run earlier than that the icon will be made.
So I was hoping that I can change the script so it will be executed after for example 30 seconds.
I hope someone can tell me how to do this, I tried some things in from the commands.txt but no luck, I am not verry good with programmer.
Thanks in advance!

sleep(5000) - this will sleep the script for 5 seconds (5000ms) (you can replace the number with the required delay). HOWEVER, this is overkill. You'd be better trying to figure what is creating the easymenu.lnk file in the first place.
Ok, so the EasyMenu.lnk is a little program from my provider, it gives me fast acces to my services and rintones, picutres, games and my chat and fun things for my sms/mms, pretty usless.
I searched my register for "Easy" and here are the results:
Reg1:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\STK]
"BackToSetupMenu"=dword:00000001
"Disable_IdleModeText"=dword:00000001
"Enable_IdleModeStatusIcon"=dword:00000000
"Link"="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\EasyMenu.lnk"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\STK\SetupMenu]
Reg2:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Shell\StartInfo\Start\EasyMenu.lnk]
"Group"=dword:00000000
"Rank"=dword:ffffff9b
I hope someone can tell me what to change to stop the making of the shortcut.
Thanks in Advance
OK, this is related to the SIM Toolkit (which is actually an app on your SIM card put there by your service provider/carrier/operator).
This is an unusual case of application icon, since it's not a normally installed app. Off the top of my head I don't know any perfect way to disable SIM Toolkit, but we may be able to delete the cause, or have it create the link elsewhere on your filesystem (so that it doesn't appear in your start menu).
I can't say for certain if this can easily be removed, but there's a couple of things we can try...
Try modifying the following entry in your Registry (just to prove this entry is creating the link), then reboot -
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\STK]
"Link"="\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\ThisIsATest.lnk"
IF we discover a new link in your start menu, then great.... we've found the cause (and the simple fix would be to either remove this reg entry, OR change the link to something like "\Temp\deleteme.tmp"
Let me know how you get on with that!
Hey TheBrilliantMistake
Sorry that didnt do the trick, its still there under the name EasyMenu.lnk
Only why is it bad to use the script?
What do you mean with overkill?

Well, it's not too bad to use the script, it's just that the ideal solution would be to stop the problem occurring in the first place...
Try the script for the moment and see how that works (might have to play around with the timing to make sure it deletes it every time)
Second try...
Try renaming the stk_service.dll file to oldstk_service.dll (you might need to use an advanced file manager like Resco File Explorer, or Total Commander to do this).
Then delete the easymenu.lnk and reboot.
OR
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\stk_service dll=stk_service.dll <---- make this key empty instead of pointing to STK Service dll.

Ughhhhh the SMS counter

Is there any way for the SMS counter to go back to 0 when viewing several messages from one sender? Other wise I have to keep going back and opening for the counter to tick down.
On my 6800 I upgraded to the last DCD rom and it did the same. Only for that reason did I go back to his previous rom. This drives me nuts. The worst part is I recieved 15 angry texts from my ex wife. Who the heck wants to open that up 15 times for it to clear?
just go to the threaded messages & use the arrow keys to go select each & every one of them & it'll set the counter right. hope that makes sense.
I found a better fix. This adds "Mark all messages read"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379265
Is there still not a cab/real fix for this? I know that it is a problem with the version of WM that it shipped with but this is kind of ridiculous and Sprint/Whoever can't expect us to deal with this or install a cab that "makes it easier"
All other version of WM that i've ever used have never had this problem before and it is quite annoying if you stay in a text message for a while and then go out and have to click through 100 messages... Yes I've already installed the cab that adds "Mark all as read" but its still annoying.

Download install that DLL into your windows and your all set. This is a well known issue with the DLL not letting go of the message properly. Fix thanks to Yay4juggs

Thanks a bunch for linking the file and thank you to Yay4juggs for fixing this.
One less thing about the TP2 that is annoying... Damn you stock sprint manilla icons and inability to use the FM radio yet!

thanks for the link...I never know of this issue until I got my tp2. I had 6 & 6.1 on my wing & never encountered the problem. 2 late to really test out iwth my friends.

try using total commander to copy over.
For those that backup on a regular using sprite etc u have to add "htmlnote.dll" & "HTMLNOTE.DLL" to the exclude list other wise the backup will fail.

I'm using Sprite Backup 6.5 and it works just fine without adding it to the exclusion list.
can someone please tell me what i need and what to do to install this!
I have this problem almost everytime I get a text. Its sooooo annoying!!
come on, all I need to do is install it. I copy it over to my tp2 and it doesn't show up. I installed total commander like someone said but all that did was let me see it. It has an error when I click on it.
You need to move the file and replace the old one, not try to open it. Try deleting the old one and then moving the new one in its place.
Delete the old what? And move it where? And once it's moved do I have to install something or does it just fix it by being there?
I'm not trying to be a jerk but if you read all the posts in this forum topic you would know what to do. I'll write out instructions for you however.
1. First, download this DLL
HTML NOTE DLL
2. Extract the file onto your desktop and then transfer it over to your phone via activesync, SD card, bluetooth, etc.
3. Wherever the file was copied to (be in in the root folder of the storage card or any other place, fire up Total Commander/Resco File Explorer and copy/move the "htmlnote.dll" over to /Windows folder. which is in the root folder of 'My Device'
*You will know that you are copying/moving it to the right location if you get a message stating that you would be overwriting the current file. If you do NOT get this message than you are either putting the modified "htmlnote.dll" in the wrong spot or your already deleted it from /Windows.
If you are still having further issues, please PM me and we will work this out.
Cheers
thank you, when I moved it over I didn't get a overwrite message but eversince I put that file in there I haven't had the problem. Slowly my phone is becoming more useable and less annoying
Thank you for the information, I have found this particular bug to be exceedingly annoying. I followed all the given instructions, but when i try to copy/move the file from my storage card, and get prompted to overwrite the existing file, Total Commander returns an error 'Cannot copy or move file!'
I had already tried this a few times, without any issue, and then soft reset my Sprint TP2. Since i still had the single unread sms bubble, i tried it again and got the error above.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance...
UPDATE:
I renamed the original to '000original' and was able to copy over the new .dll. However, after a soft reset, the problem still exists.
OK, found this thread and installed the cab. Worked like a charm...
Looks like i can't post links yet, so just search for FixUnreadCount.zip and that does the trick.
FINALLY
Thanks you for finding this .. ive spent the last week searching through files on my tp2 trying to find the right one .

Deleting from the Program list

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
I stumbled across that the other day while trolling for apps n tweaks...you can find the info and cab file here in the 1st post of " Software worth installing on the TP2 *Continuously Updated, links in thread* [Nov 25] " Thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550973
I havent used the program...i just remembered seeing it and thought mabe it could help ya...
Peace...
Thanks
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!!
