Uninstall Default Software?

I want to uninstall some of the default software such as IA Caller ID and Photo Contacts, and the Westtek Viewers (which are shockingly bad). There is no option, however, in the "Remove Programs" dialogue. What's the best way, therefore, to remove the offending programs?

The links don't work

I did it so...
There is no way(i suppose) to uninstall them but...!
Follow this few steps(only if you want to do a hard-reset).
- Hard-Reset your device after necessary back-up
- Wait(Don't enter the PIN code at this time)for the auto-install countdown message
- At this moment do a soft-reset. The auto-install procedure will not be done and all the software from Ext.ROM will not be installed.
- You get now an empty device without any modifications from your operator
- Unhide the Ext.ROM with unlocking tools(available for download somewhere at this site-it is a *.cab file for install to your device).
- Install that cabs from the Ext.ROM which you need(such as Camera,MMS etc.).
If you want,you can cook your own Extended ROM with your favorite applications with the ER2003 tool.

Help: can't uninstall programs from jasjar

I am unable to uninstall programs from my jasjar. When I try to remove programs from activesyn there is no response. When I try to remove programs directly from jasjar with "remove programs" I get the response that the program was not removed and would I like to remove the name of the program from the list of installed programs. Either way my programs cannot be removed. Can anyone help me with this problem?
Thanks

Softreset first then uninstall... Some times you can not uninstall two apps after each other. You have to softreset before each removal...

I tried your suggestions several times but it does not work for me. Any other thoughts?
Thanks

WM5 doesn't flush the registry until the device is powered off. You should either use a software based reset button - such as from SPB PocketPlus, or turn the device off (this is better), wait 10 seconds and then press the reset button.

Still no luck
I tried resetting after leaving the jasjar shut for more than 10 seconds and still I have no luck removing programs either directly or via activesync. I would still appreciate any suggestions otherwise it looks like a hard reset is unavoidable.
Thanks, a

Other way to remove programs?
Is it possible to effectively remove programs by using resco explorer? And if so, how can you ensure a clean remove?
A.

I have the same problem, I always have to remove manually. I can not install overwrite any software, and when I want to upgrade a new version, I have to find its old cab files to see the list of files to find them and delete. Any suggestion? Thanks in advance.

Still no solution to removing programs
I was wondering if anyone has found a solution to our problem of not being able to remove programs.
Also, as we cannot remove programs via activesync or the standard remove programs from the pocket pc (Jasjar), what are the steps to thoroughly remove files manually?
Thanks

@apap
I found some beta WM5 apps cannot be removed even using Remove apps from the control panel or even the "delete" function from the File explorer! In the end I had to hard reset my JJ to get rid off two apps. I have also been told to use the Resco Explorer to delete programs from the directory directly.

Thanks. When you delete with Resco is it enough to remove folder with application or should you also clear things from registry?

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.

Can't remove/install programs!

Please help me!

Turn OFF your firewalls then connect your Universal via USB again.

hmm, Doesn't work.
Any other ideas?

I am having similar problems. I have a list of installed programs in the uninstall list. However, whenever I install new softwares, they are not shown in the uninstall list, thus I cannot uninstall any new softwares. Anyone knows what happens?

...your not using phoneAlarm are you?
This is a documented issue with a previous version and is fixed in the latest release.
Matt

Yes PhoneAlarm is an issue and does prevent installed programs to show up in the list of installed programs. If you cannot live without PhoneAlarm (Like Myself) then you have two options:
You can install SKTools. The uninstallation utility in SKTools will still show the list of installed programs even if it is not shown in the generic Windows utility.
The other option involves changing the registry. You will need a registry editor like Resco. The procedure is as follows:
1) go to..
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\AppInstall\
2) Select the application directory that is not showing up in the list
3) change the DWORD Role data from 40 to 24
4) Now the application will show up in the list.
Hope this works for you
Regards

srmz you are great !!!! It works and I can uninstall programs now.
I have never installed PhoneAlarm, and I forget starting from when this problem appears.
Also thanks matt1971 for rasing the possible reason leading to the problem. You guys are great !!

I now have the same problem - I can't install programs (get a message saying installation was unsuccseful), and when I try to remove programs there are none at all in the list.
All I've done today is install sbp Weather.
All programs work fine, but I also can't change Today Theme - it seems to be stuck on default.
Anyone able to help?
Cheers
Rowan

yes I have the exact same issue...this post is about not being able to sync, install, or uninstall anything....while srmz's post was informational, it didn't help those of us who has this problem...
please can anyone help? I really don't want to have to hard-reset my phone
Thanks
Anthony
