Uninstalling the O2 UI of XDA II

I have from O2 the device XDA II. I want to uninstall the O2 UI called
V2R o2ActiveUI. When I try to uninstall it, I get the error, that the
program is used. How can I uninstall it?
Best regards,
Volkan Arslan

Thanks for the hint, but in the autostart directory, there is no file called o2ActiveUI.exe or Connections.exe.
Regards,
Volkan

but there is a link called Active ;-)
that's it...

Deleting the link will not delete the program but will stop it loading when you reset your device.
Depending on how you use your device it may be better to keep it installed but not running. I occasionally find I have to run it to reestablish my settings for WAP and GPRS when they give me grief.
To remove the program completely, you would have to hard reset, stop the auto-setup from running, install extended_rom cab and then open the config.txt file from the extended rom. Then one, by one chose the programs you want to install but avoid the o2 active one.
Cheers

I just clicked remove programs on mine and it worked no problem. Certainly didn't require a hard reset. A friend of mine had a problem with the program saying that certain files were in use. He renamed the files that were supposed to be in use, soft reset, then remove, then delete the renamed files.
Hope that helps.

isnt it a today plugin? if so maybe it's just a matter of disabling it then uninstalling.
if not then i'd go with the startup folder and take out the lnk or whatever that makes it run on a soft reset . . . THEN uninstall.
I dont think you have to resort to a hard reset just yet since the issue is simply not being able to delete a locked (running) file, so if you figure the way to NOT make it run, then uninstalling should be easy.

Can't change wallpaper

Hey all,
for some reason, I CANNOT change the wallpaper in the Today applet. Tried changing it to a .tsk file listed, or to a .jpg by checking the box....nuffin.
Sometimes, it also hangs my machine when I change what today items are displayed. Has anyone run into this issue of not being able to change your wallpaper? Thanks in advance,
Marc

You will receive more help if specify your Rom version,etc..
I can think of a conflict by some applictions you have installed.
Try to uninstall all the programs that can interact with the Today
Try Soft Reset
if no success,do a backup and Hard Reset
Good luck!

remove program problem from mogul

damn, my mogul got f*cked up after installing touchflo. Not trying to blame this program but maybe there could be some conflict? After i installed it and didnt really like it, i tried goin to remove program in setting to remove this, but guess what, nothing showed up in there. For some odd reason i cant remove any program from my phone because the screen was blank. Then i tried to install another program and said unsuccessful whenever i tried to install anything. Does this happened to anyone else? any solution

I have the same problem on mine. I will let you know if I can figure out a solution.

I had a different problem awhile back after installing Total Commander, any new programs that were added didn't show up in the remove programs menu.
What I had to do is use Activesync to remove them, not sure if it will work in your cases though, but hook up with A.S. and on your PC in A.S. open tools/add remove programs and check/highlight what you want removed.
Good Luck

I am having same problem, please someone help.
REMOVE PROGRAM list is empty after ftouchflo installation and touch cube installation.
ACTIVE SYNC not working either.
please help

There was another thread on this(No Items in Remove Programs), but it didnt go anywhere.
This just also happened to me. I also found that I could not install programs and that me phone would not sync... This happened right after installing Slither Cube, and efrost FTouchFlo.. so I went to uninstall and ran into the same thing...Deleted items from the startup folder and still the same thing.. deleted files from the program files section and same, also tried a soft reset 10X....so I had to do a hard reset....

Me too.
I just hard reset. After reading everywhere, this was the only option.

i hope someone knows how to fix this cause i really loved how the latest touch flo cube cab worked on my phone.

No need to hard reset
Anyone running into this "Empty Remove Programs" problem in the future, there's no need to hard reset! Check out the simple solution here:

How do you make registry changes take effect without a soft reset

I am trying to change some registry settings to do things such as 'adjust volume settings' 'adjust backlight settings' 'turn bluetooth on and off' etc etc.
I want to use mort script to make the changes but so far I haven't figured out how to make the changes take effect without a soft reset, even when making the changes with a registry editor.
Does anyone know how to do this so that the changes take effect immediately?
Any help appreciated.

two things:
1st: all of the things you mentioned above should work without a reset. the best thing to do is change the reg value manully and if it works with out a reset then you know the problem is in the mort script
2nd: If you know how to edit xml files then download this cab and edit the xml file how you want. this should help some

this has a lot of apps in it you will be looking for the one that says tweaks

Thanks for the info irus,
Like I said, using a registry editor to change the settings does not take effect until I soft reset.
For example (and i'd appreciate it if someone could test this on their phone) changing the values in HKCU\ControlPanel\Volume...."Volume" and "Ringer" to 0 assuming it is not already set to silent does not actually turn the phone to silent until I soft reset.
Could someone please check this for me and report back.
BTW I'm using a Trinity (HTC P3600) with AX3L's LITE ROM.
Thanks in advance.

I tried it and it did not work, you sould try to edit the xml file in the program i told you about and try it there. when i get done with homework i will try it my self

Registry value is read by windows while loading. In case of desktop pc if you restart the explorer process the registry gets loaded. you need to find some way to load the registry again.

Thanks fuzzvirus but that was my original question.
Does anyone know of a way to do this?

Bump......

I'm also interested in this theme. Does anyone know an answer?

Start up of programs in on the Xperia

Hello my fellow Xperia lovers......and some haters! lol
Simple question....is there a way to remove a program upon a soft reset? I ask this because, i uninstalled the Inhand catolog thing, and when i do a soft reset, it comes up that the program InHandGo.exe could not be found and did not start up....which i don't really care, but i dont want to see that message every time i need to do a soft reset ><. So is there a way to either get rid of that message when soft reset is done, or just some how, fully and cleanly remove that program? I dont really see the point in having it....

The shortcut to InHandGo.exe remains in the startup folder after an uninstall. Just remove this shortcut and you won't get that error message again.

yup just remove that shortcut in \Windows\Startup and you are good to go!
That's also the program I have uninstalled first thing. Useless piece of crap!

How do i get into the \windows\ startup sorry? Im pretty much lost at this point...
EDIT:No wait....sorry....lol i figured it out...

Use the file explorer and go to \my device\windows\startup. It is just so simple!

Interestingly, I'm still experiencing the same behavior after I "uninstalled" that app and yet, when I went and check the Startup directory, there was no entry to In HandUpdater.
The error message I'm getting is "The file 'InHandUpdater' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file."
What am I doing wrong? Seeing the startup sequence halted because of this makes me want to go back and reinstall the darn thing - just so that I no longer see it.
Please advise. Thanks.

Have you tried installing the application again and then uninstalling. And then you have this program. Cleartemp is the name. It might help with cleaning all stuff left behind.

Same problem here :-(.
There is no shortcut for it in \windows\ startup and the message still comes up whenever I do restart the device!
How to re-install it?

OK, I reinstalled it and the message disappeared ;-)
To install go to "My Device/Program files/Handango Inhand/catalog" and run the file "inhand.cab"
