Fifa2010.exe can't be found -- improper uninstall: how to fix? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

I thought I knew how to fix this sort of thing but obviously I was wrong!
OK, so I installed a couple of World Cup apps, to see which one I liked the best. My first mistake was deleting the cab files from both my PC and device, thinking, "Why do I need to keep these? Once the World cup is over, I'll uninstall the apps anyway." Consequently, I can't remember the name of the one I uninstalled (doh!). It may have been something like "Soccer Updater": I tried searching for it, both in this forum and via Google, but could find nothing that matched -- the closest was something by Emoze, but that looked like a Symbian app, so I discounted it.
The one I kept was "World Cup 2010", from http://www.mobilepractices.com/. The other one I installed never seemed to update -- I even tried setting an option that would apparently do the updates automatically, but that didn't appear to work either. So I uninstalled the app. My second mistake (in case you haven't caught it already) was to have failed to undo the auto-update feature of the app before uninstalling it: what I think is happening is that the auto-update command is attempting to execute, but can't find the app so it complains with a message saying that Fifia2010.exe cannot be found (executing around 03:00, but not every day).
Now I thought there was a way I could fix this using FdcSoft's Task Manager, but I poked around looking for something that would lead me to this executable (the Notifications and Services tabs were what I thought to be the most likely) but no joy. I then searched through the registry for "Fifa201" and "Fifa2010.exe" but there were no matches.
Any help/advice/pointers would be appreciated.

Disclaimer: I posted this about a week ago in "Windows Mobile Development and Hacking" 'cause that's where I think I found the offending app. It was moved (appropriately) by the moderator the same day to "General discussion > Questions and Answers", but has languished there in obscurity, with nobody responding since the move. I'm hoping for better luck here.

bump? (can no one provide any insight?)

You may want to try SKTools, it claims (amongst lots of other functions, it's a really useful app) to clean invalid registry entries and values, bad/old uninstall info, temporary and obsolete files, etc..
Hope it helps

Thanks, Sirgal, just ran SKTools clean function and it certainly found a whole bunch of stuff, most of which I didn't understand, and certainly nothing that had any link (obvious or tenuous) to Fifa2010.exe. sigh.

Notification Que growing with each reboot!!??

Hi,
I just purchased SKTools, which allows you to see all the scheduled/event based actions that the dash will do upon time changes, time zone changes, preset time/date schedule, etc. This is the area where all the apps tell the device to do something when something occurs, such as when a reminder is due to sound.
When I used the "Notification Que" feature of SKtools, the que was full of a bunch of duplicate entries, which I would think are just wasting space and possibly harming my devices performance because it will try to execute each one of the duplicate events. So, I deleted all the duplicate ones.
Then a few days alter I saw more duplicate ones. Then I read a thread that mentioned this [almost] extact bug with Pocket PC 2003 devices, in which the notification que grew and grew with each reboot and scarybear software came out with a jerry-rig utility to fix the issue by deleting them automatically upon eeach boot-up.
Well, the entries that the scarybear utility deleted don't look to be the same that I am seeing, so I don't want to experiment with it on my dash because it could possibly mess up my registry or something else.
But, I wanted to find out if anyone else is seeing this?
SKTools has a lite version that fortunately, includes the "Notification Que" feature so everyone can examine their que:
http://s-k-tools.com/index.html?sktools/m_lite.html
Could someone install the run SKtools and see if you see duplicates for these two different entries:
\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\MSPPDUGateway_TimeChangeEvent
\\.\Notifications\NamedEvents\WLMScheduler_TimeChangeEvent
Thanks!
Yes, I am seeing these as well.

Well, it's a good thing that it's reproducible on another Dash, but it's a very bad thing that it is happening
So, if someone reboot their phone every night, the notification que will expand by two entries every night!
John, I think I saw that you are running wm6. Is that correct? Looks like you will need to add another catagory in JCA that is not only a reboots but also clears out dup alarms/notications!!!

Yeah, I am running WM6. Unfortunately, the generated dup notification entries are non-file events (they don't seem to run a file when the even occurs), so I don't know how to remove them from the que at this time.
Does anyone know how (programmically) to remove them?
OK,
An update...
I did a hard reset and installed 95% of the apps that I originally had on my phone, and now the phone does NOT exhibit this problem
So, apparently either fidiling with the registry or some app that I installed to test it out caused this issue and it's not an issue with the OS.
I had to do a hard reset as well, and re-installed all of my normal apps, and still have the problem.

[Sovled] CAB installer with long_send.lnk included.

Hi all
I've 99% finished an app that I'm about to upload, but have 1 tiny, tiny problem with it.
I've included a "long_send.lnk" shortcut in the CAB file, and it seems to be being duplicated for some reason.
I've got it set to install to the windows folder, and it does this, but it also installs a duplicate one in the Start Menu (I do have 1 other shortcut in the start menu - don't know if this is relevant).
My question is, does anyone have any idea why this would happen and, more to the point, how the hell do I stop it???
It's really annoying to get so close to completion and have 1 silly problem stop me dead, especially after having solved so many issues, like shortcuts that work no matter where you install the app (device or storage), and running the target app with parameters (they were both a pain in the arse to fix!)
Any advice would be very welcome.
Thanks in advance
Edit:
Sorry, I should probably have said that I'm using VS2008.
I should also explain that I'm creating the long_send shortcut in VS2008 as part of the CAB project, not externally, as I want it to point at the application, regardless of where it is installed. If I create the shortcut outside VS2008 then it may not be pointing at where the application is installed.
Just in case anyone stumbles across this with the same, or similar problem, I've just discovered the joy that is setup.dll, where you can code whatever you like for install and uninstall events.

Apps Missing in the Market

Like a lot of people on this board i got my T-mobile Desire delivered this morning. I started downloading all my apps from the market place, and noticed some are missing. It's not just paid apps, but free ones as well. Has anyone else noticed this?
I can't find:
Record It (paid)
Battle for Mars (paid)
Tapatalk (paid or free)
and others. Can anyone else see these in the market?
I'm also noticing this but i thought it was just paid apps. Can't find abduction or what the doodle. There's also no top paid option when going through the categories
I'm not at home, typing this from the desire. Might be a good idea to try and install another version of market.apk
It just might be that these applications aren't compatible with Android 2.1 targets.
I don't think it's a compatibility issue. Why would they disable paid apps tab then? There's something fishy going on.
I can't find half of my apps, even the one I've paid for while on G1!

Those 3 apps you listed are missing from my market place but I still have the 'Top Paid' tab, I don't know why you are missing that but the applications are probably due to compatibility.
I've had this problem before on my hero with some custom roms, never found a way to fix it.
And if i remember correctly when the hero was first launched some people on orange or t-mobile where having problems with missing market apps.
National Rail for UK train enquiries is missing from the market too
I have removed content lock from my t-mobile account and now I get all tabs in the market. But I still can't see certain apps.
Something strange or I am having yet another senior moment.
I went in to Manage my applications and in there is Ringtone Trimmer, I thought I would make me some ringtones, looked for it in programmes and it is not there. I then thought it must be in Marketplace but alas no!! How can I have an application in Manage my applications and yet not have the application????

Go to the music app, play a song and then try to set it as a ringtone, it will give you the trimming options.
Klaxon is version 427 from the market on my G1, but a much older 310 for the desire....
Im finding this on a few different apps and am not sure why...
I think we have run into this problem before. If I remember rightly (please feel free to correct me if not) it has to do with Google not recognising the phone correctly when you access the store. I believe this is a server sided fix that Google have to do.
Like I said, correct me if I am wrong.
I contacted T Mobile about the issue and they said google approved the rom so the issue must be with the apps / developers.
Great load of help that is. ffs!

I noticed the same, can however install it from here: nationalrail . ktbm . com
For non-paid apps its not such a difficulty getting them from elsewhere, and installing via Astro or ADB, but for PAID apps(like klaxon) to be left with an old version - or unable to install at all - its a real pain.
Seems to be a known issue, look at the android marketplace support forum of Google, they are talking about it.
google.com/support/forum/p/Android%20Market/
looks like it will just take time for Google to register the 'fingerprint' of the Desire ROM before we get full access then.....
What a nonsense way to run the Market!
To be fair guys, the Desire isn't even supposed to be released yet.
Wait until it is officially released and if there are still market problems, then you can complain.

Define 'Officially' - Its available via a reputable company (TMO) and as such should be supported 100%
HTC/TMO and GOOGLE should have had this sorted before it was sent out to customers.

[XAP][ZIP] Access OEM Marketplaces easily, no dev unlock! (Update 16 Aug 2013)

Hi hackers!
Found something pretty cool while I was digging around looking for new interop-unlock hacks. The bad news is that it looks like it's not usable for interop unlock, the good news is that it's still pretty cool.
This previously required a dev-unlock, but no longer does. It does not require interop-unlock. It works on all phones (as far as I know).
UPDATE 3: ZIP file usable on non-unlocked phones EDIT: I think this will not work on most phones. Sorry! The XAPs still work, if you can sideload them
I've added a ZIP file that can be used to switch the OEM Marketplace without needing to sideload a XAP at all. Instructions are inside, but basically you tap the XML file for the OEM you want, then reboot the phone.
UPDATE 2: Dell Apps.xap, Nokia Apps.xap (v2)
The Dell apps collection is hidden, like the Nokia one was (see Update 1 below). The only app I was able to find was "Newsroom" (another app kind of like HTC Hub). If there are others, please let me know and I'll try to find them.
Nokia has collected their apps into a single marketplace section, like HTC/Samsung/LG. The new Nokia Apps.xap reflects this, so disregard the Update 1 note below for Nokia, and download the new XAP!
UPDATE 1: Nokia Apps.xap (See the Update 2 note - Nokia Apps.xap has been changed)
Be aware that this app works a little differently. Rather than actually adding a "Nokia" store to your Marketplace list, it just enables your phone to access Nokia's apps though the normal marketplace. Not sure why some OEMs did their own store and others didn't, but that's why it wasn't working before (it isn't a stand-alone store section).
An easy way to find the Nokia apps is to do a seach for a well-known app, like Nokia Maps. Then, open it and tap the "More from Nokia Corporation" link. This will take you to a list of all of Nokia's apps.
WHAT IS IT?
Install a XAP or tap an XML file in the ZIP, and restart your phone. Then, open the marketplace, and you'll discover that, instead of "HTC Apps" or "Samsung Zone" or whatever your default is, you can install OEM apps from a different OEM.
WHAT CAN I DO?
If you want to install Nokia, HTC, Samsung, LG, or Dell apps, open the ZIP file on your phone, look for the OEM name you want, and tap the XML file immediately under that OEM name. You'll need to restart your phone before the Marketplace changes.
If you want to help out, give me as much info as you can about the other OEM marketplaces (Toshiba/Fujitsu, perhaps?)
IS IT DANGEROUS?
Well, it's a hack. There's always *some* danger. However, you don't need to worry very much. The phone will automatically revert the Marketplace after a day or so. You can also get your proper marketplace back by installing the corresponding app/tapping the desired ZIP.
However, you *really* should keep an up-to-date restore point any time you're messing with stuff like that, especially with new hacks. If something screws up and doesn't straighten out, restore a backup or hard-reset and it will fix itself.
EDIT: The ZIP does not appear to work on most phones. The XAP files should still work on 7.8, though.
WHO CAN I THANK?
Well, aside from myself thanks go to:
Heathcliff74, for the XAP deployer hack and the Samsung marketplace configuration file.
Schaps, for TouchXplorer (let me find the relevant file).
Voluptuary, for info about both OEM and MO marketplaces (working on those).
wpxbox, for the info about "Nokia collection".
CAN I ASK A QUESTION?
You just did, or at least, I did for you. Please see the next post after this one for FAQ. Otherwise, feel free to post a reply with your question. Please, if it's at all relevant, include the make, model, and version of your phone and OS/firmware.
OK, I know you all will have some questions. I'll try to collect them, and their answers, here so people don't have to read every post.
If you ask a question that is already answered here, I may facepalm and/or use sarcasm.
DO I NEED TO RUN THIS APP?
No, you don't. It doesn't do anything at all after installing. In fact, I re-used another app that I had handy, so the message you see isn't even accurate!
WHY DOES THE MESSAGE IN THE APP TALK ABOUT INTEROP UNLOCK? CAN I USE THIS APP FOR INTEROP UNLOCK?
It talks about it because I reused in interop-unlock app (which works exactly the same way, but with a different file). This app will not interop-unlock your phone, or even allow you to do so. However, it doesn't need interop-unlock, either. Furthermore, why are you running the app? You don't need to; none of the instructions say to run it.
CAN I DELETE THE APP?
Yes. Once it's installed, you can delete it immediately if you want to.
HOW DO I GET MY OWN OEM'S MARKETPLACE BACK?
You can either install the corresponding XAP and reboot, or you can wait a day or so for the phone to recover on its own.
HOW CAN I GET BACK TO AN OEM MARKETPLACE THAT I ACCESSED BEFORE?
Remove the app (and any variant of it), if it's currently installed. Then, install it again. Then, reboot as before, and you should see the marketplace corresponding to whatever XAP you used.
WHY DON'T ALL APPS WORK?
Many apps will use native drivers to do their work. These drivers are specific to each OEM's firmware, and are baked into the ROM. Apps that don't need special permissions, like the Samsung Now app or LG's Look n Type, should work. Apps that have high permissions or do device-specific things, like a Network Profile app or HTC Sound Enhancer (if it ever appears again) won't work on other phones.
SOME OF THESE APPS HAVE ID_CAP_INTEROPSERVICES, CAN WE USE THEM FOR INTEROP UNLOCK?
No. The apps may appear to work (even on interop-locked phones) because they were installed from the Marketplace and have valid signatures. However, they won't actually be able to do anything useful, because the wrong drivers will be installed (see the previous question).
CAN YOU ADD A XAP FOR ANOTHER MARKETPLACE?
Sure, once the required configuration data is available. This can be tricky - for example, the values for HTC and Samsung are "HTC" and "Samsung", respectively, but the one for LG is actually "LGE" (LG Electronics). I don't know what they are for Toshiba/Fujitsu, and I'm not sure I have everything from Dell, and I don't have any others. Any help here would be appreciated!
CAN I ACCESS MORE THAN ONE OEM MARKETPLACE AT ONCE?
No, sorry. I tried to build support for multiple OEM markets, but it didn't work. The last one overwrites the previous.
WILL APPS KEEP WORKING AFTER THE MARKETPLACE REVERTS?
So far, yes. I don't know whether they'll get updates, although I suspect they will.
CAN SOMETHING BE DONE ABOUT APPS COMPLAINING THEY DON'T WORK ON MY PHONE?
Sadly, no (nothing safe). Most of the LG and Samsung apps that I've tried work just fine (interop aside) on my HTC phone. It helps that in Mango, a lot of formerly interop capabilities (like compass for LG ScanSearch) are now in the official APIs. Some apps will still check though, and there's nothing I can do about that.
CAN WE ACCESS MARKETPLACES FOR OTHER OPERATORS?
It's probably possible, but I haven't bothered to try yet. If there are interesting apps for carriers that work outside of that carrier's network, I'll give it a shot. It's a different file but the structure is very similar.
IS THERE A LIST OF APPS KNOWN TO WORK?

can you just deploy all three and have access to all 3 sources in marketplace?
once you install apps from the other oem sources, and the market reverts back, do you lose the apps you have installed?
No. I tried to build it so you could access multiple OEM marketplaces at once, but it didn't work - only ever used the last one in the config file.
Apps stay installed and runnable even after the marketplace reverts. However, I can't promise they'll receive updates. I think they will, but I haven't been testing this long enough to find out.
Dell's marketplace string is "Dell"
Nokia's marketplace string is "Nokia"
I still haven't figured out Fujistu's.
thanx dude,
The 3 xap files are working on the HTC Trophy.
But the LG apps that you can download, if you run the downloaded app from LG place. He said Only for LG devices.
So are you editing the files in the 'keepers' folder? I had found those some time ago and posted them HERE back in October. I thought they would lead to this since when they were deleted the OEM marketplaces would simply go away, same can be done to remove the carrier marketplaces, but I had trouble getting them off my device to really look at them.
Be warned though in my similar pre-mango hack with the registry we found that changing the OEM marketplace values made the DRM wig out and would prevent any apps from starting. The only way to fix it was a full reset or restore to a point before the modifications were done.
I would guess that if you edit LKG_MOStoreConfig.xml you could do the same thing with carriers.
OEM's:
Samsung
HTC
LGE
Dell
Nokia
MO's:
Att
Tmous
Tmode
I am pretty sure these are case sensitive too so keep that in mind.
Thanks GoodDayToDie
this solution it gives me solved my phone not show OEM App in market
Just wondering and perhaps some people might want to test with me if we set LKG_MOStoreConfig.xml and LKG_OEMStoreConfig.xml to read only will it stay set instead of only lasting a few days?
The reason I want this is becuase I want at&t's stupid marketplace entry to remain GONE so I edited LKG_MOStoreConfig.xml to this:
Code:
<ConfigurationFile version="1">
<MOStore>
<setting id="MOName"></setting>
<setting id="MOStoreName"></setting>
<setting id="MOStoreID"></setting>
<setting id="MOStoreEnabled">False</setting>
</MOStore>
</ConfigurationFile>
Now I'm just guessing that this is how it should look since like I said before I never could get the original files off my phone to look at them.
@voluptuary: That would probably work (in fact, the "false" alone is probably enough). Marking the file read-only may or may not be sufficient.
@cyclonemon: You're welcome! I didn't even realize people were having that issue but yes, it should help there too.
I am confused, can't I do this already with Milkman's WP7 3MktPlace? I can search/list 3MktPlace apps . I can add new info such as Nokia to the application. It finds and saves the XAP to the PC and from which I can deploy it to the phone.
ok, after reading more carefully, the program process above would require interop unlock, your route doesn't
@voluptuary (again): Thanks for the OEM names. I'm pretty sure I tried "Nokia" and it didn't work, but I'm trying it again (I did the edit on the phone during testing, and that's pretty typo-prone). For what it's worth, they are not case sensitive (a good thing, since the official casing for Samsung is actually SAMSUNG).
EDIT: Confirmation, "Nokia" does not work.
You're exactly right about which file I'm replacing (you can see that if you crack the XAP). I was looking to use the embedded provxml in MOConfig to do interop-unlock, but it looks like the process which reads that file doesn't have the required permissions. I could do something for the MO marketplaces too, but I'm really not sure there's value to it; do the MOs have apps that are useful if you're not a subscriber?
So far, no DRM wig-outs. I'm hoping it works when I don't mess with the registry. We shall see.
@derausgewanderte: This method doesn't use up unsigned app limit (aside from briefly, when the configuration app is installed). It also allows updates from the phone itself.

I see, thanks for the clarification.
just for your info. Milkman's program works with "Nokia" if that helps.
Thanks, but... neither "Nokia" nor "Dell" are working. It's rather annoying. Samsung I had the actual file to work from, but LG[E] I figured out on my own, and it works. Not so with Nokia or Dell though.
Nokia on the marketplace has the string nokia.
As this seems a nice hack, be very carefull with changing the OEM name of your phone. Doing this a couple of times will invalid something with the DRM and will force you to do a hard reset. You will not be able to run any app installed trough the MP otherwise and you will not be able to install anything.
I dont know for sure if the same thing would happen trough this method, but I'm not going to try it out. I tried it with editing the registry and if you do that about 5 times, your phone cant do anything without a hard reset.
I'm posting this to avoid problems, not to kill this hack. Because its defenetly good work, but before any complications arise, be warned.

Yes yes please heed this warning. It happened to me.
I'm aware of the problem with the registry editing method. I can't guarantee it won't happen here (make sure you have a recent backup!) but I'm hopeful. I've made far more than 5 changes, and while I haven't had it in this state for weeks yet, I have for days, and so far no problems at all.
EDIT: @VoodooKing: Just to confirm, your problem was with the registry tweak method, right? If you hit that problem with these XAPs, please let me know.

Yeah, I can't get Nokia to work either, however my Lumia 800 never had a "Nokia Marketplace" to begin with on the phone so that may have something to do with it. I think the other programs that have been mentioned are pulling apps in a slightly different way than what acctually happens on the phone. I would guess pehaps there is some handset ID matching or something on the phone marketplace whereas with the PC/Web based methods there isn't. (just guessing)
On a side note I tried setting the MOConfig to read only (like I said before) and while att's marketplace still sadly came back, it came back different. It used to be "AT&T AppCenter(tm)" now it reads "AT&T Featured" so that is odd. As for carrier app usefullness IMHO the at&t ones are garbage but I can't speak to any other carriers.
You have to search for Nokia apps in the marketplace for them to show up. There is no Nokia store.
Yes changing registry a few times caused my phone to not launch apps and install from marketplace. I think I changed the name more than 5 times.

[Q] Mallware in SVHD 1.0.0 ?

First of all, I'm a long time lurker on the XDA forums, haven't posted at all (why would I, if there aren't substantial questions ). Until now, that is. I was lurking the D-HD Dev fora when I came across a new Sense 4.1 rom; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2204384
Not happy with the Sense4 roms there are I really wanted to try it.
Downloaded it, and my ESET Smart Security went haywire. According to ESET the package contained mallware, Android/Plankton.I
Reported it so a moderator could look into it. Afterwards I looked into the package itself, seems like install_flash_player.apk was detected as mallware. The file contained a read-me file with a reference to RevMob Team (something to do with adds) and the file classes.dex was detected as a threat. Compared to an actual flash player package the file-sizes mismatched quite a bit.
First of all, is it a false positive of ESET, or actual mallware.

This baffled me quite a bit, im reporting a godd****d possibility of mallware, and am replied to like that?! Nice, could be quite some people's phones are infected with mallware.
Is it normal to act like that, then? Off-course, if people aren't running a scanner, it is there own fault...

This baffled me quite a bit, im reporting a godd****d possibility of mallware, and am replied to like that?! Nice, could be quite some people's phones are infected with mallware.
Is it normal to act like that, then? Off-course, if people aren't running a scanner, it is there own fault...

It is unfortunate for you
Not to be mean or anything but you should really change antivirus as eset sucks...
Well then.... I seem to be correct. Did want to try the rom, and, indeed, it is a fast rom... but... 'install_flash_player.apk' isn't the true, adobe, flash player package. Rather it barfs a platoria of adds and starts a download of flash player.
So, mallware non the less (and NOT a false positive).
Don't believe me? just start the flash player app in the app drawer.
Ahwel, how really needs flash player, it is a security risk on its own HTML5 all the way.

All a mather of opinion
It's simple. It's only a piece of software designed for Android, and so can't harm your PC. The ads can be blocked with AdAway.
And also, use a better antivirus. I suggest CommonSense 2013, its working great for me
Hit Thanks if I helped you out

uhm...
*blink*
My internet security software detects a file that isn't the file it claims to be and you tell me to get a bette....
Wow... just... wow... Glad you are not in the computer support business, at least, I really hope you are not.
Don't be daft, man! I know that something detected as 'Android/Plankton.I' is aimed to Android and not Windows (or whatever).
Fact remains, there are still official adobe flash packages for android, instead of add network packages.
Ahwell, just a factory reset and the data folder is clean Who uses flash anyway.

First off, chill out a bit
Second, he has a point.
Your anti-virus software detected a "something" that is harmful... It may be harmful, but for Windows. There is no point in running Windows A-V software to scan Android or linux files... Viruses are written for specific systems and are ineffective on others. Just like all other programs. Hope I cleared some things up.
I disagree with that. Malicious software is malicious software, no matter what the operating system is. A virus scanner should detect it, no mather if it is windows based, osx or linux (linux and osx virii, riiiight )
My point is, why would someone use malicious software when there are packages from the original developer (Adobe, in this case).
It is to bad, too, because the rom it self is indeed quiet fast and stable.
Even though a factory reset will clean up the data directory (and thus delete the package), I'm cautious if it comes to this rom.
And, to be entirely honest, I believe the moderator who closed my report, is lazy. To lazy to investigate a possible threat. Eventualy it is 'just' adware, but, at the same time, it could have been something more dangerous.
That was it for me, I will stay at the lurking corner again
no mallware found , its cleane
