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.
App Problem please help!

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.
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

This is how to Hard-Reset on phone http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3115/2541775762_85aa3db274_o.jpg
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?
I'm trying to find a free solution to synchronize my Google Apps contacts with my HTC Touch. I have decided to export my Google Apps contacts into a CSV file and import them directly into my Windows Mobile wirelessly using the data plan...
Is there any software that will let me import my Google Apps contacts directly to my Windows Mobile address book?
I needed to do something similar and found this web page: http://manish.wordpress.com/2008/11/14/importing-contacts-to-windows-mobile-without-ms-outlook/
So here you rename your CSV file to whatever.CSC, zip the file and rename the zip to whatever.PIB.
Then you can use the PIMBackup software to import the contacts.
I've done this just now while I typed this message and it worked.
I didn't need to zip * rename to PIB, I simply imported the CSC file.
The reply is a bit late, but maybe it will help someone, I certainly found this thread.
Well I think now you can just do it directly from google. m.google.com/sync
yeah but google sync works spuriously and will delete all contacts when the server is deleted so it is not good for a reliable 2 way backup. A .csv import tool is still needed.
i cant do the same with messages, it pimbackup always assumes the csv is contacts, any solution anyone?
fixed that, now pimbackup wont accept teh format
Importing the easy way!!
@ amahfouz
Try and get the CSV imported to your Outlook contacts and then just sync your phone with your PC. This should be the easiest solution I can think of!!
I had the same problem and didnt find a good solution, so i wrote an app for importing contacts from a google csv, havent tested it with other csv-files.
Works good for me.
If you have contacts on your phone already you should back them up using PIMBackup or som other app before using this app.
There might be errors in the csv-file and if there are the contacts will be created with errors like phonenumber in the name-field and so on.
How to use it, your three step guide to a better life:
1. click on "Choose file" and select the file you want to import
2. click the "Read contacts" and it will load all rows into memory and display how many rows it found
3. click "Import contacts" and it will create a contact for each row it found
if something went wrong and the contacts look wierd or something, just clik on the "Clear contacts" button, click yes when asked if you want to delete all contacts, and it will remove all contacts. Note that it deletes ALL contacts, not just the ones it just created, so if you had contact before importing these you should have made a backup like i told you to do, because now you haveto delete every contact manually.
ofcourse you use this app at your own risk, i dont take any responsabilities to what might happend to your phone, not that i think something will.
Its just reading a file and creating/deleting contacts.
Hope it helps someone...
im gunna give this a try, sounds like it will do the trick

Do you run this application on your phone or PC?
Worked a treat, Cheers
Very useful thread! Thanks a lot!
Thanks guys! This saved my skin!
Hello i have need from someone who want to make me a favor and help me.
Im ex Blackstone user and i move to Android.
I did some updates etc and i lost all my contacts from the SIM card and everything.
THe good news is that i still have on my PC a PIMbackup.pib file but its made like binary one..
There is a chance to get my contacts back!!!
WHat i need is someone with WinMo device can do it for one minute.
Just to run Pimbackup on his own Device and to restore the Contacts from the .PIB file i will provide
After this is done just re Backup them again BUT in normal mode without binary etc
in this case the final .pib file will be able to transfer it to a zip .csv file and Put all the contacts back in my SIM card via Gmail
So if somene want to help me will be really thankfull for that its emergency.
The other variant if someone do not want to use HIS device is to do the same procedure with a Windows Mobile Emulator but i don`t know how to work with this and make it to work on my desktop PC i already try several hours to set up everything but just not working
Thanks in advance
Hi
Try rename pib file to zip and open with winrar.

First of all i think your thread is removed soon...
If you're on 4.0 or 4.1 you can save contacts just press menu button and they're on your sd card and if you need them again its just to import them.
And you can sync them with Google.
So if you're on 4.0-4.1 you need to manually write down your contacts on your phone then save them. :good:
I also had this problem when I moved to 4.0...
What I did was:
- In Kies, export my saved contacts do VCF (see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25029961&postcount=5 )
- After this, I imported the contacts to Outlook.
- Downloaded this: http://sourceforge.net/projects/googlesyncmod/
- Used this program to sync betwwen Outlook and Gmail...
If you have your contacts in Gmail, you never have to worry about this again...
the dev section is always the right place to post everything anywhere !
Just make all your contacts Google/Gmail (therefore synced) before flashing (check them online to be sure), then they will be synced back as soon as you associate your new ROM with your Google account.
You'll never need to worry about syncing or losing contacts again.
