How to remove T-Mobile programs

I have just upgraded to Rom 4.01.00 and as it is a T-Mobile rom I want to get rid of the programs that are provided by T-Mobile so it looks like a normal Rom. I remember reading somewhere before how to do this but now can not find the message, can anyone help me on how to do it or tell me where the post is that explains it.
Regards Seal.....

hi seal,
can you share with us the 4.01.00 rom?
let me try it and i'll try to remove the programs, i'll let you know the result
thanks

Ok to remove those T-Mobile apps goto Start, Settings, Today, Items and uncheck "T-Mobile" that does it for the Today plug-in.
Now for the System Tray apps. use File Explorer and go to the \Windows\Startup folder and delete Battery Monitor.lnk.
BTW and if you're not under some type of NDA how about sending the old Qman a PM on how one can obtain a copy of these latest ROM.
HTH

Thanks QMAN, it worked.
Here is the address for the download, half way down the page, its in this forum, http://xda-developers.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3335&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=25

Installed programs do not show up on "remove programs"

Hey,
im using helmis 3.3 with latest radio rom.
I installed some appz after a clean install, then "rebooted" sometimes, continued to install... and then, when i wanted to remove an app, i saw that some applications arent shown in the "remove programs" application.
Any idea?

Same here
I have the same issue, Remove Programs dialog is empty, can only remove software through ActiveSync. I am on a different ROM; UNI.indra.AKU3.3.BETA6.
Funny thing is that it used to work before, but now it does not seem to work anymore. All I did was unhide my extROM and cleared it all out. Then installed Helmi AKU 3.5, and since I had some issues with that I restored Indra's ROM. Now I cannot remove software from the device, have to use ActiveSync only... maybe this helps isolating the issue?
I may install the extended ROM I was using again to see if this helps. Will keep you posted.

What size do you programs have in active sync? Some have a normal size like 1MB but all, which are not seen in the "remove program" tab, have 0KB size..
Some1 else noticed that?

Strange behaviour...
I wanted to get the Remove Programs stuff to work again... so I don't know what I did, but after I reflashed my Rom (Indra) and ran my standard extended ROM (from my provider). Then I did a hard reset and bypassed the extended ROM install... now I see all installed programs again (after installation through ActiveSync) in my Remove Programs option... strange behaviour and I do not know what caused the fix... But just to let you know that during your next Flash Action it may work again...
Fingers crossed...

Problem with teathering

I have HTC Touch Pro 2 from Verizon and am moderately tech-savvy.
I now know how to teather (using one of the tutorials on the site for VZW phones), but at first I tried to install and run the MobilWifiRouter app for my phone. As I ran the .cab file (or whatever the instructions were), it said I had insufficient privileges.
Now when i try to go into the comm manager, it gives me the error "Comm Manager doesn't support "MobilWifiRouter"...", and once I click ok the screen closes. So I cannot access it and i cannot directly remove it through the remove programs function.
I would ideally like to have it work, but if I can't I can just uninstall it.
Thanks for any help in advance,
Axe
Edit: (I also tried installing the new version 1.1, even though it said that it couldn't fully delete the old version. It too says that it doesn't have sufficient system permissions and comm manager still doesnt support "mobilwifirouter"

Any advice?

Double bump...

install these and the program will be in your start > all programs

Although installing those does enable the wifi sharing, it still does not allow me go into comm manager. Should i just reset my phone and re-do it or is there a simple fix.
Also, is 6.5 out and supported by verizon wireless?

one of your prior cabs probably messed something up. i would start from scratch and install those two.

Will the above files work on a stock ROM?
(USCC and mobile 6.5 if it makes a difference.)

nvm it's running perfectly!

I use the windows internet sharing utility, hidden by verizon in the Windows folder.

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.
