How do I remove from Program list?

Hi I installed a program that did not work with WM5, I subsequently removed it using the Remove Program amplet.
However it still shows on the Program page.
How do I remove it from there?

Don't install non-WM5 compatible apps - it could seriously harm your blood pressure when you find you machine no longer works!
Look here for apps that should work:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32698

Thanks for the help?
The program was reported as working on wm5.
The list does answer the question does it

Try a soft reset.
I had to do a hard reset once because I found apps were removed from the Programs list but were not really removed from the device.

Soft reset does not clear it
So will have to 2wait until I completly mess it up and have to do a Hard reset :lol:

Have you tried:
open file explorer
windows - start menu - programs
and deleted the shortcut from there?
this has happened to me when I have removed some apps and it has left the shortcut in programs

Picture viewer doesn't start up ???

Hi Everybody,
Today I have simply tried to have a look at my recent photo's but apparently the standard picture viewer doesn't start up. How can this be screwed up, it sits in the ROM, isn't it ? Maybe it has an INI or other config. file which is corrupted/missing ?? I was trying to search the forum for such a problem, but nothing found...
Please give me a hint if you can.

This is ONLY a hint because I have a Wizard...O2 XDA Mini S...and my Pics and Videos viewer stopped working. I eventually discovered it was because I'd installed the Eten dialer on my phone.
Don't know how this may help but hope it gives some clue.

iainmann,
Thanks for the hint but unfortunately it is not my case.. Other idea anyone ?

Good if you could list out the recent installed software

If youre tapping on the program icon and its not starting then try searching for the actual program (Normally in \windows), and try launching that way.
If youre tapping on a picture and its not starting then have a search on the web for some kind of file association program - perhaps the photo file extension has become dis-associated from the picture viewer.

Hard reset?
Start "Explorer", go to "/windows" and find "pimg" file. Try to start it. If it won't run, then you got virus (or bug

first of all: thanks for all the replies, just to summarize what I did already:
1. I have tried to launch the "pimg.exe" directly - the same thing (nothing) happens.
2. Hard reset - no way ! The problem is not the kind where I would consider a hard reset. I have installed a free picture viewer for the time beeing.
3. I have the "jpg" files associated with "pimg" in Resco explorer, but it didn't make any difference.
If somebody would still come up with a new idea, I would really appreciate :? .

If the program won't start I would check that the program hasn't been overwritten. With Resco make sure that it has a tick in the "In ROM" box in Properties. If not, delete it and the ROM version will be restored.
With File Associations you have two registry keys for each filetype.
HKCR\.jpg - pointing the extension to the filetype and handler
HKCR\jpegimage - telling the OS which icon and program to use for the file.
Other entries exist too like HKCR\.jpeg, for the same file with different extension, and HKCR\jpegfile which is empty on my device.
The HKCR\jpegimage\Shell\Open\Command on mine is (Default) = pimage.exe "%1"
Is yours any different?
Resco has a built in viewer for images and other file types, which you can set as the default action when you click a file.
Hope this helps.

PReDiTor,
Thanks for the hints, I went through the points but nothing suspicious found. I have set now Resco's internal viewer as photo viewer, so I will leave the proble for now. Let's see further after the next hard reset.... :wink:

its a dll file that is screwing up..
search up the thread on saman's wm5 new menu and there is a dll switcher there..

Blank screen of writing a new text message on 818pro

Blank screen of writing a new text message on 818pro.
Is there anyone can help? There will have no problem after hard reset, it seems one of the programs causes this problem. But does anyone know the reason? Is it memory insufficient?

Is there anything corrupted?

This reminds me of something yes. Could you please do these things and reply with answers to my questions ?
a) How much space do you have remaining on your device (how much free ram) ?
b) Go to Start -> Settings -> Installed Software or hows it called (the place where you see what software is installed) and tell me if the list is still there. Do you see your installed programms in the list or is it empty ?

c) Can you uninstall or install new software ? Please test with some small CAB file on your device.

Hello Spatzm,
Thanks for your reply.
a) 23.85MB RAM left
b) ce-star suite v2.8 r2a
c) yes, i can uninstall and install new software.
--> this problem exists right after I sync the data and then press soft reset button. Is this the point? because whenever I press reset button, the SMS I wrote disappear even my pda has been just done a hardreset.

I dun think "Arabizer" is installed. Is it a program? or something about "Arab"?
Anyway, I can't find it from "Remove program". Tks.

Arabizer is a program which enables your device to show arabic fonts.when i install it on official roms,there is no problem but when i install it on pdamobiz roms then i have a blank new sms window.as i said,after disbaling the arabizer it works again.hope it helps.

Probably a ROM issue then. If you recall my reply above with the few questions. I initially had in mind that you might run into the security stuff (certification messup) issue but this is not the case.

You have the answer right there. The registry is only written back periodically. After doing any changes you should not quickly follow up with a soft reset otherwise any new information will be lost. At the very least switch off and on again before doing a soft reset. This is not a ROM fault it is simply that writes to the registry are not carried out immediately.

Hello Mike,
Thanks alot for your explaination. The data cannot be written immediately, so that should not press soft reset button right after a SMS (text msg) is written. This question is answered well.
However. My main problem is why the SMS writing page became blank and never recover until a hardreset? I had this problem after sync PIM and then pressed soft reset button.

scott4, nice to meet u Do u come from HK?
I have the same problem before...
At that time , I used AKU2.? (forget XD) and ce-star too!!!
After hard reset for about a week.....the problem will appear again= =
SO i always reset -> blank -> reset -> blank -> loop....
until I upgrade my 818pro to 2.3, ...
and I don't use ce-star again....since it always hang= =
firstly i use monster chinese...but i found that the font is very ugly.....
so at last , i don't use monster chinese anymore, I only copy mingliu font from my winXP, and edit the registry to let my 818pro can read chinese....
Also , I download the Chinese input method from monster website, but without using monster XDDD
I don't know it's the problem of AKU? or ce-star? or just i'm very lucky.......
I want to upgrade to AKU3.3 too!!! many people say that it's very fast when you compare 3.3 to 2.3.........i wanna try it~>< But now....I'm afraid the SMS blank problem will appear again= =XD

it's the problem of cestar, i used to have the same problem with cestar installed, after uninstall it the problem was gone

Solution to DISABLE the large start menu

Hi every one
After several trails of trying to disable the large start menu in roms that do not have this option in the Settings > personal or system, I found some how a slight solution.
1- You need any registry editor, some cooked roms include this application, but if you need one, you can get it from here
2- Open registry editor then go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu
Open the key ( Enable ) and change the Value data from (1) to (0).
OK then soft Reset.
Regards

Hashimi thank you for your help to disable the large start menu

download the large start menu cab from here , install it , then go to settings , you will find it there , just open it and disable , then soft reset
Waiting for feed back because I removed the rom with the large menus
Regards

Try
\Program Files\[<Your program's Developer>\]<Your Program Name>
(Start-> File Explorer -> Up (lower left corner)->Up->Up->Up->. . . .->Up->Program Files . . .)

Also if you still cant find it, hook it up to your pc, and then use the windows (if you have windows) built in search, and then search for the file name and then you'll know where it is in the future

Some of the shortcuts in the start menu are actually folders (Multimedia, for example.)
Have you looked in them for the apps you installed? Also, some apps don't have shortcuts in the programs folder. TouchResponse, for example, just runs all the time. There's a shortcut in settings, but nothing in the start menu root.
You probably just need to hunt round. If you could tell us for sure what you're missing then someone on here will definitely have installed it previously and be able to help you.

ok, sorry...
