I'm using an MDA with ROM 2.26 and I want to remove t-zones and pocket msn or at least remove the shortcuts from my Today screen. I've searched and I can't figure it out. Can anyone help me with this?
Thanks

You can't uninstall a program that is inherent in a ROM. You can remove them from your Today screen, though.
Go to Start/Settings/Today.
Click on the "Items" tab.
Uncheck t-zones and Pocket MSN, along with anything else you want to remove.
Also, I haven't looked at the MDA ROM in quite a while, but if these programs also run themselves at boot, you might want to go into \\Windows\Startup to remove any .lnk files that point to them.
Nevermind, I found it.

You can also remove them from the start menu by going to Windows/Start Menu and deleting whatever shortcuts you don't want to see anymore.

I'm in the process of customizing the look of my Exec, but I've ran into a small problem. It seems that the default battery icon and the O2 won't go away. I'm using Wisbar with a Juni Sci-fi theme everything looks great except those 2 out of place icons. How do I get rid of them? I believe they are the default icons because they can be moved from side-to-side.
On a side note how would I make the Juni icons bigger?
thanks.
I reckon, the O2 active is causing the problem. IMO, it can uninstalled. Unistall that app and see if the problem persists.
AFA juni's icons are concerned, you cannot make them look big. Try some other themes(like mac os x by pixel, xcillion's vista skin etc)
PS:you can hard-reset and since you are using the official O2 rom, go in for corporate mode install(code:0506). This'll prevent O2 active of getting installed
Thanks Kdskamal, yeah I did install the corporate mode using that code, but O2 active is still visible in my programs folder. So is there any other way to remove it other than Hard resetting it? I do remember removing it through the Add/remove programs but I guess it didn't completely remove it huh?
thanks

The easiest way for you ll be getting a trial copy of sk tools. Use the uninstaller of it to uninstall it completely.
Do let us know if it worked
How about Pocket Mechanic? Can I use it to do the same thing? I'm a Noob, when it comes to things Pocket PC

Hi all. Need some help please. I had recently used the 'hide' TrayApplet program but after uninstalling Spb Shell, decided that I could do with it being back, but don't want large icons on my Today screen again.
Hkey_Local_Machine\SOFTWARE\HTC\TrayApplet
above I found the links to each of the icons in the tray and can successfully point them to programs of my choice. Great!!
No! The links now work a treat, but the old icons remain the same (therefore hard to distinguish what does what until you tap it).
Does anyone know how to or where the registry entries are for the icons in the TrayApplet? e.g when I tap on the web n walk icon, I now get my configured Internet Explorer, but no associated icon.
Any help appreciated.
No one here hot on Reg-editing? Tried looking at the Universal wiki and their Reg hacks, but it most of it seems to be filed using different naming conventions and some alternative methods.
In any event. The above post shows where the links are (in seperate folders)....which can be permanently deleted and will then remove them from the TrayApplet.
Thanks for the info. I am still trying to decide what to do with the tray on my phone.
Try this cab file.........i'm using it on my Ameo now. It creates a programe in your programe folder with which you can turn on/turn off your tray applet as you wish. Hope it helps
Sorry MACKABY007, never read your firsy post correctly oooops
thank you!

No probs neildunne..at least you tried to help.
And someone else has benefitted from your answer.
Is there a simple regedit to enable/disable the trayapp?
Yep there is
Yes you can do it manually.
Go to HKLM\init and create a strin Launch92 and give it the value TrayAp.exe. When you want to remove it delete the key.
Can somebody post the HTCHomeplug plugin so I can use this one instead of the taskbar?
WA3 will solve it.
I'm happy. God is listening.
System Tray Features
* Added the ability to place program icons on the system tray.
On the screenshot above, you'll see icons that don't normally appear on the system tray. WisBar Advance 3 now allows you to place icons on the tray as a "quick launch" bar, similar to iLauncher and several other software packages.

I too would like to remove this tray bar at the bottom. I dont like it and cannot find how to remove it on my X7500.
I know how to do it on my universal, but the registry is not the same.
Any light on this would be greatly appreciated
Thanks

Thanks from me for this too.
Although I am curious to know... from the community at large perhaps... the Today screen is evidently made up of a series of components... TSk files for the theme... applet files for additional display options... the HTC plug-in software to modify the HTC HomePlugin etc.
It seems a bit odd to me... given the apparent effort put into theme creation software by quite a few writers... that those same coders stopped where they did... at themes.
It seems like only half of the job... even the admittedly-clever HTC Home Plug-in Customiser goes that far and no further.
I'd expect at least one developer to come up with a more comprehensive product... the modules do exist as separate entities... theme designers... plug ins and customisers... and especially with the advent of WM6 and VGA screens...
I've had two Blue Angels now for a couple of years. It never occurred to me to play with themes. The only modfication of the desktop was from whatever software went in and did so as part of the package... XCPU Scalar and some SPB items for example. I never even bothered to upgrade the Windoze from 2003SE. Everything seemed to work alright, and most software that I try to use on it still does too.
Now we have two Ameos as well... both running different versions of WM6... different ROMs... one of which (the later) is T-Mobile.
And, probably due to the larger screen, I decided to take a look into the desktop.
The T-Mobile flavour did indeed come with this Tray App, and it is only today and on here (naturally) that I have actually found out the designation of the thing.
XCPUScalar knew all about it long before I did, and stuck it's Speed, Reset, and Off buttons in it.
The other Ameo came with what I think may be a vanilla (HTC) version of WM6 and the HTC Home Plug-in... and I only recently learned about that here too... none of this appears in the little manuals T-Mobile inlcude with the Ameo of course.
I wonder now, as I write, if a fairly basic and simple method of getting rid of the Tray App may simply be either removing it from the Windows folder or perhaps renaming it.
Either way, your method works well for me... as does XDA-developers per se... and without whom all HTC customers, whether members here or not, would be a great deal poorer.
Personally, I do wish that I understood a good deal more of the subject matter, especially in the deeper-delving posts... but at least with xda-developers being here... all of you... the possibility exists.
Thank You once again... all of you.

Star>settings>system>remove programs
is the classic way to remove programs. Some applications have an un-installer lots do not. Some may not appear in remove programs and without great guru like skills the only way may be to just delete the obvious files.
What I do from time to time is to use Sktools from time to time to remove bad shortcuts and registry entries - along with other accumulated rubbish.

does anyone have a cab file to hide the small icons on my tmobile wing?
the tzones,my5,musicplayer,ect.. ones at the very bottom. any help would be apericated, i tried searching the form but came up empty handed.

how would i go about clearing out my startup programs??
connect to activesync
explore device
windows/startup
should be a bunch of files. delete the ones you don't want (or the ones that have systray icons)

awesome, so intsall the cab 1st then do that?
nah. you can install the cab OR do that
or you can do both. it doesn't really matter. Cleaning out the startup folder increases your ram too, though

How do you remove programs such as Telenav when they don't show up in the Remove programs list?
Some programs are just (exe-)Files.
You can copy and delete them as you want.
I use cLaunch on my today-screen.
With cLaunch I can place icons for
programs, files and folders on my screen.
cLaunch is freeware and really perfect.
Sorry, wrong thread.

i was wondering the same thing. anyone have a solution?
anyone out there on this one?
Curious about this one myself...
I could go with post #2... if I wasn't sure you're talking about programs that are already installed in the rom image.
In that case, just like Opera 9.7, you have no way to uninstall them, not even by manually deleting the files. At least, I tried to manually remove opera 9.7 files to save space, since I now use opera 10, but it wouldn't let me.
So your only chance is to flash a custom rom without the bloatware in it.
