Hi, I used to run MemMaid quick clean to clear all my temp internet files, but I don't know where the Opera ones are stored, and my device is getting clogged up. Anyone know how to delete these files?
Cheers

hi guys,
normally on PC i consider myself a geek but when it comes to my phone..i dont know how to maximise its performance or do tweaks.
hope to get wisdom from the forum.
just one quick question..when i download the .cab installer..where do i place it in the phone?
can i execute it from any location?
You can place the cab anywhere you like. Most likely location is my documents. Then just run it by clicking it with the stylus.
Yes you can place the downloaded cab file anywhere in your phone and open it from there. it will install once you click on it. Some programs work when they are installed at the storage card and some don't.
a cab installer is like an setup.EXE on windows place where you want it then install it!
simple as 1 2 3
thats cool.
very easy to install the apps then.
thanks a ton. looking forward to use my X1 like a pro now
I made a cab-folder on my storage card where I keep all my cab's for what I have on my phone. So when I'm have to hard reset/upgrade my phone I have all my cab's for a new install.......smart?.....I think so

That's true. You don't even need to a single click w/ UC.
For Cab, you can have it install to yr PPC w/ one right click on desktop w/ CabViaActiveSync. A must software for me.
Once you have installed a program can the cab file be deleted?
they used to but I believe that changed when wm5 came out

Yes you can, but it is always a good idea to keep a copy of all CABs on your PC/Laptop in case you need to re-install after a hard reset etc.

Is it just me but I can see no Opera browser installed in the new Generic UK R2A ROM???? Where is it hiding or do I need to do something special to get is op my phone? Is it included in the ROM??? Newbie, please help!!!
Hmm Opera is the default browser in the UK R2 Rom. If you cannot find the sortcut (which sounds bizarre) try using the google search field on the today screen to see if that runs Opera.
Call me stupid, but no, cant seem to find the shortcut or the application?? Any suggestions?
If you have changed your Start Menu and Opera is showing there then it would not show in Programs, and vice versa. have a look in both before you result in a reset
Or simply install it again.

Of course, that sounds much simpler! hehe The Opera cab is in the Windows directory

Nope, very strange, not anywhere to be seen!!! Do I need to flash ROM again with the same UK generic one, or do you suggest I download it again as well??
Try a hard reset and let the customisation run after setting up the screen, it should install then. If it doesn't then something has gone wrong with the flash.
If you're using the stock file manager then there's a good chance it's hiding files in /windows.
Is it in the Start menu?

I am using the standard file explorer, "Show all files". Is there a specific place in the windows directory I need to look?

No they should just be sitting there all content and lovely..
Try using "total commander" instead. Either google it of find it on this site, it's free and superb.
The Inbuilt file exploder is pants..

Okay, this is NOT funny. Opera nowhere to be seen!!! Looks like it is re-flash for me???
sounds like it, did a hard reset do nothing at all?
Hi. I have few problems.
1. I don't know why I cant install any programs. I downloaded the programs and then moved to my phone storage sd, and then when I run setup file, it opens Opera Mobile, and then that's it, nothing happens. Any idea???
2. My SMS received time is always 4 hours behind. But sent time is correct. I've tried changing regional settings but no use.
3. Is there any way to change file views to Thumbnail view. I moved picture files to Storage SD, but files are not in Thumbnail view.
any help would be appreciated. Thanks alot.
2. i think it has something to do with syncing on your computer...do a search for further info

If you download .cab installer, you don't need to extract file from .cab with winrar!
Just copy .cab on your phone memory and launch installation on your phone (double click on the .cab file in the phone file explorer)

1. What are you installing? Whats the extension .exe or .cab? Im not aware of any .exe installing from PPC, yet.
2. Might sync time with pc using ms activesync to see if that solves problem...
3. No way to change that, again as that I know of. If you want to look at pictures, maybe try to get HTC Album. Just do search....

I used Total Commander for a registry editor.
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.
Nausicaaa
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.
Nausicaaa
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.
Simple problem guys!! Please help me. I keep on loosing my memory as I surf web in opera. Al though I clear cache and everything. I dont have any custom rom. I am running 3.14 version official.

Go to any Google search bar and type in "Clear Temp for Windows Mobile" this is an app that will clear all of the temperary folders and files on your HD2. It allows you to choice wich apps you want to clear the temp files and folders too so if you don't want to clear a certain set for a certain app like YouTube for instance you can uncheck it. Also do a seperate search for "Clean Ram for Windows Mobile" it frees up ram on your HD2 so you can keep your memory level with only the app tht you are currently using. This is not a task manager although when you run this app it will close all open apps at that time. I use to get the same message using opera but don' t get it at all now that I use these apps daily. Also while you have Oprera open touch on the soft key at the bottom right hand corner of the screen then touch on the same spot again when tbe bar comes up this should bring up a pop up box select settings from there and then select advanced. In advanced you can set the cache size to maximum this will help resolve your issue too.

This is very good advice. I was under the impression that the downloads folder was cleared when you deleted the cache or used ClearTemp. Out of curiosity I just checked my download folder and it still has my last five downloads there and I have cleared my cache and used ClearTemp atleast three times today.
Another way of not having this problem with the download folder is to not select open when you download something. If you select save as you can rename the download what hou want to name it and choose where to save it at. I try to save my downloads on my SD card.
Thank You everyone!!
