The registry values for the blackstone dialer, for some reason, have stayed in your registry even after you uninstalled it... Its no biggie, just open the cab you installed it with WinCE CAB Manager (or equivalent software) and check the values it entered in your registry. Then use a Registry editor to restore the normal values.
Same goes for comm manager.

sigh..
still cant work this out..
any more suggestions?
thanks

try using sktools to clean the registry

I have the same problem.. only workes if u send the .tsk file to eg my documents and installs it from there.. so far.....
On my Vario, the themes show up in the Today options, but selecting them does not load them. The theme is still Windows default, or one of the other ones that came with the phone. Too bad, wold have liked to use the same theme I was used ot on my magician. How des installing them from another folder ( like my documents) work? just copy them there? But how to select them then?
I have finally find a work around solution from another forum.
http://www.aximsite.com/boards/showthread.php?t=106316
Here is the extract:
those who are having problems installing themes. sbsh had a workaround. goto settings/today and highlight the theme you wish to use. locate the tsk file and copy to root. rename tsk to cab. install the file. goto settings/today/items exit. it seems to work without problems.
I just tried this method and works. Hope this help with anyone that is using PocketPlus.

Removing Applications???

Hi,
I recently installed 'Kick off slot machine' game on my XDA mini s and when i go to 'remove programs' it wont remove it. I've tried soft reseting.
How can i get rid of it?
Can i just go into file explorer and delete the files in its program folder?
yes but u would be better off removing the reg entries aswell allthough it wont cause harm.
tried removing using active sync , add remove programs , as sometimes that works for me where the one on the device does not work.
I have found that quite often uninstalls just don't work. For example, before I resorted to a recent hard reset, I had only a few megs of RAM available. Turns out it was because although it "appeared" that such things had been uninstalled, they had in fact not been uninstalled.
The way I do it now, and I reckon this is the only way to do it, is to go to Add/Remove programs in Activesync and uncheck the box of the app/game to be removed. This seems to work (even on apps installed by CAB or on other machines).

Ok thanks.
By the way, how do you find and delete reg entries? Which folder are they stored in?
Use SK Tools, it is the best soft for cleaning and everything
-www.s-k-tools.com
You'll need something like PHM Regedit, or I use Total Commander. I'm no expert but you'll be able to get help with registry keys etc here.
Alternatively, purchase MemMaid which (I think) removes redundant registry entries.
Oh ok, thanks very much.
Just one more quick question, if you install something, remove it, then decide you want it installed again does it just overwrite the previously created reg entries?
does it just overwrite the previously created reg entries

I was using this amazing application but after it's installation i was unable to uninstall any program from "Add/Remove Programs". Not even S-K Tools. The only solution was a hard reset. Do you have anything on mind for this issue?
P.S: The version i was using: 2.2.10
Yes, developer knows about this, he said, new version fixed.
I have ver.2.3.15.6 and tested, good things, Backup is working in WM5.

Hi, was wondering does it backup contacts and have you tried restoring after hard reset?
Yes, I did. The only one problem, SK Tools made funny records about
installed software, so in the list, You have only what was installed after
You installed SK Tools. I think it was already fixed, but didn't test it.
thanks fresh123breeze,
think i'll go for it. its not a lot to pay for what it claims it can do.

Hide SIM contacts on Touch Plus

Hi all,
My other half bought a Touch Plus yesterday and I've been adding software to it to make all that much better.
The contacts are stored on the SIM and I've copied them all into Pocket Outlook. I then made the reg tweak to hide the SIM contacts which worked immediately, hiding all the SIM contacts. However, when I soft reset the device (via software or holding down the power button and then re-powering on) the registry value goes back to what it was - showing the SIM contacts!
Is there any way that reg value can be kept to 0?
Cheers
ND
Hi
I have the exact same problem and asked this question previously here, never got a answer
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=359152
The first thing after a reboot is to hide my SIM contacts... If anyone have a solution it would be very nice.
Kind Regards
I have found a solution...
Download dotfred's excellent TaskManager/Registry Editor from: http://www.dotfred.net/TaskMgr.htm
Copy the exe to wherever you want on your device,
Use the registry editor in there to set the ShowSIM value to 0.
Export that registry value... to \My Documents\HideSIMContacts.reg (for example)
Create a shortcut to the task manager exe in Windows\StartUp.
Edit the properties of that shortcut (I use Resco Explorer) and set the Target as follows:
"<path to task manager>" \My Documents\HideSIMContacts.reg /silent
Make sure you have "'s around the Task Manager path BUT NOT around the path for the reg file.
Reboot...
Bob's your uncle.
I had the same issue with my previous Orange UK stock ROM, don’t know why the registry tweak does NOT stick after SR on certain ROM’s :-/ so in the end I resorted to installing the attached cab which fixed the issue
On my current HTCAsia WEE ROM the registry tweak works so no need for the cab fix! Anyway for those with ROM where the registry tweak does NOT work, you can use the fix mentioned here by NinjaDonkey or install the attached cab and soft reset, that should do the trick
AWESOME...thanks, I have a locked rogers HTC Touch and have tried many different Reg tweaks that would not stick to hide the SIMs in my Contacts, but the NIKI Sim fix above finally got it. Thanks, thank you, thanx again.

hello !!
Thank you very much for this soft
Thanks guys for the wonderful solution.. I was going bonkers having to delete and add in all my contacts everytime I factory set my Niki. Cheers..
Other solution is RilhasHideSIM, for more see: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=467147

comm manger problem

i'm not sure what happened, comm manager is gone, when i lauch comm manager from program menu, i only see a transparent 'phone' in the background, and then what page freeze and nothing happens.
I tried to install a new 6 button colored comm manager, 10 button comm manager, it says 'install was unsuccessful, the program or setting cannot be installed because it does not have sufficient system permission.'
i'm not sure is wrong, can anybody help?
Yes you ****ed it up. you partially overwrote the original 6 tab comm manager with the incompatible 10 buttons comm manager. You screwed it up.
Try to identify all the files which belong to the comm manager and delete them out of the windows directory (a couple graphics files and an exe). This way you'll get the default one back which is undeletable in the ROM. Then, after that, install Schaps advanced config tool and use it to set your polaris to use the 6 tabbed comm manager. If this is too much and you dont feel like doing all that, hardreset your device.
In case you want to go the hardreset way and if you intend to do a complete system backup and put it back onto the device, the problem will be backed up as well and put back on the system with the restore. Only back up your personal databases and text messages and then hardreset. I recommend PIMBackup 2.8 for that task.

Is this the Comm Manager?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1400090&postcount=838
If I look the name I guess is only for Kaiser, maybe I'm wrong
which file control comm manager? and which function in Schaps advanced config tool control the tabs?
i'm using bepe wm6.1, the comm manager can hold 6 tab by default. I just tried 6 tab colored and 10 tab like the one mormy described in the post, they actually worked before it disappeared.
In Schaps tool it's under the menu softkey.
Use a file manager which can hide files which reside in the ROM (resco for example). Then have a look at the graphic files which reside in the windows directory and look like they belong to the comm manager. That way you'll figure out which files to delete. But honestly I think you'll end up doing a hardreset anyway because you most likely wont get it to work anymore. Registry is screwed up, files and filenames dont match anymore, the mess is probably too big to fix.

..do a hard reset..
Re-install the missing programs.
both answers are wrong.
i found the solution, just install the following cab and the start-program display is set back to standard!
does this cab do anything else but repairing the start-display? I don't want to mess up any other settings of my system which is a 1.40.162.2 (49069) GER Vodafone
