To delet what comes with the rom, you nust first unlock it. Not recommended.

removing default programs

Just got XDA, succesfully unlocked using aunlock, however !
Sorry if this is a stupid question. How do I remove programs that don't appear in the "remove program" option. Such as microsoft reader media player and other such stuff.

You cant, they are in rom so they cannot be deleted.

I had the same problem. As hotfix is SKTools the best choice in my opinion, but after a hardreset was the problem gone. I'm able now to deinstall the programms cleanly.

Copy to your device and run. Soft reset and when you go into files on your device, you should see the conrents of the extrom revealed, asuming it works like on the Atom. Good luck

Help please, after upgrading to Duttys 6.1 v4.3 final..

Hiya,
I have just flashed my htc touch hd, with Duttys 6.1 v4.3 final rom release.
Now I have tried to change the font, taskbar and clock, but after putting the cab files on the storage card, then restarting the device, there is NO change.
Am I able to change and personalise Duttys rom, or am i stuck with the icons he has in the rom..
Many thanks for your help,
Neil
I used to use a dutty rom and it was possible to change the icons.
What did you do to make the changes?
Once you have put these cab files on your SD card you need to open you file explorer on your HD, navigate to where you put the cab files and then click on each to install them.
Sounds like you haven't installed them
Hiya,
Thanks for the replies. I have transferred them from my PC to the storage card, and opened the cab files. Just for some reason, some of the items arent working.
How do I get a weather clock to work. I downloaded one, but it wouldnt install, so just wondering if this rom wont accept them???
Cheers for your help.

Should work on most if not all roms. Have you tried alternative download locations for these apps? What are these apps? It you attach them I can try them out to test. This way we'll know if its your HD or your download app

AT&T Tilt 2 - am I deleting programs and applications correctly?

Hi all,
I am a noob and I am not too sure if i am deleting stock programs and apps that came with the att tilt 2. Some apps and programs cant be found under "remove programs."
For example, if i want to delete a program, can I just go into the file explorer and find the folder and just delete it from there? Will that completely delete that program?
Also, when i try to delete the "Opera 9" folder, it says "_home.exe is a system file, deleting it will cause some programs to not run properly." Can I still delete it anyways?
I basically want to know if I can just find the folders of the pre-installed programs and apps that i dont want and just delete it from there. Will that completely erase it from my phone?
Thanks in advance for help.

anyone? any inputs would be greatly appreciated.
thank you all
I don't know about Opera (are you trying to upgrade to 9.7 or 10 Beta?), but I deleted many of the ATT bloatware programs exactly as you described. No issues at all. You will also want to go to Windows>Start Menu>Programs and delete the shortcuts there, to remove them from the Start Menu screen.
You will get lots of storage back, and the programs will stay removed unless you hard reset.
Hey thanks for the reply. Opera 9 came pre-installed with the tilt 2 and i downloaded opera 10. So i dont to delete opera 9. I went to file explorer and found its folder and try to delete it. But it says "_home.exe is a system file and deleting it will cause some programs to not work properly"
So im not too sure should i proceed and delete it or should i not? I think _home.exe is a file or something in the opera 9 folder. Umm not too sure what to do.

can anyone help??
thanks
if you dont want the ATT bloatware, why dont you just flash a clean ATT rom? (as long as you want to keep the ATT look)
Hi ctbear,
Sorry I am completely new to the WM and not too sure about alot of things. I have been reading on these forums about hard spl and flashing my phone. However, I am still kind of scared to do it, im scared that will screw up and mess up my phone. I do have a couple of questions to your reply.
1. where can I find a clean ATT rom?
2. what exactly is a clean ATT rom? did someone on these forums made the rom or is it a official release by ATT?
Thank you

1. You can find a clean rom in the rom thread.
2. ATT will never release a Clean rom. It has to be made by one of the great rom cooks here on XDA

Is there a flashable version of the stock AT&T rom or are you referring to eras2r's ROM? His is probably closest to the stock rom but it isn't a straight dump from a stock device is it? I've been hoping someone would be able to get the stock rom dumped so we could flash it back. Maybe someone will get one for Christmas! I know the old trick of resetting on the first boot just before the bloatware installer ran was a way to cut back on some of the stuff but it wasn't 100%.

Tried this.. I assumed it was going to show all the loaded programs.. all it shows is TMS uninstaller, CleanRAM which I installed and Adobe Flashlight. Is everything else going to need to be deleted by going thru the file explorer?
You can't delete files in ROM. Shortcuts for programs that came pre-installed can be deleted, but the actual program remains. Still, deleting shortcuts yields very little gain in space as they are small files. It does help clean up the Start menu, though. The only way to get rid of the bloatware is to flash a cooked ROM with those items already removed.
