I'm using TAEL Rom forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=587883
I am having problems getting MyPhone to work, the version that is included in the ROM no longer works without an update, however the update package is unable to remove the old version from the rom, so it is unable to install the new version, could this be because it was cooked into the rom? There is no uninstaller for it in remove programs but I have installed SKTools and I have run the MyPhone uninstaller which was listed in there but I think it has left some traces behind (there is a load of files in my windows folder).
Could someone point me in the right direction as to how to clean up all traces of myphone including registry and files etc as I cannot install the new version, the progress bar on the installer gets to around 80% then my device just freezes and I have to do a soft reset.
Any help would be appreciated

I don't know why i can't install any software on the jasjar. run the cabs but it doesn’t ask if i want it on storage or memory and only gives successful installed, but then nothing no app installed
If i go to the remove programs on control panel it appears empty so I can't remove any app either..
any 1 seen this ?
I’m trying this before a hard reset
I have had the same problem. First, I found it is better not to install the extended rom, i.e., after hard reset you need to do a soft reset before the imate cabs are installed on the jasjar (you will find numerous posts on this issue). Furthermore, I suggest you install most of the apps you want before you fully synchronize all your data. Also, I have installed almost all my apps on the storage card.
This way at least I am able to install any programs I want to.
However, I still find that apps will not uninstall (usually best results for uninstall for me were by uninstalling via activesync instead of the remove programs on the jasjar). I thus suggest that you find the apps you really need and desist from experimentation unless you are ready to hard reset regularly. Lastly, I have resorted to uninstalling programs by using a program to fiddle with the registry (like resco explorer) and removing files related to the program I am trying to delete. (Apparently this can be risky).
Hope this helps, apap
Well after applying a couple tweaks to my KJAM. I have a problem now, I cant uninstall any program. I go to add remove and select remove it then says cant remove, do i want to delete from program list. I also cant reinstall the same app...unless i delete the old directory manually. It seems to me that it is some form of read only protection. any ideas ??
I'm getting the same error as well. I used to have an app on my Jam that would uninstall files and its better then the built in uninstaller. Right now i'm lookin for it but can't remember its name..
i got the same problem
Same here :twisted:
I have had that problem as well. I have found that if I soft reset the device, then run the uninstall, the program is conmpletely removed without issue. I believe that this error is caused by something related to the program still running in the background.

Tried using ActiveSync to add/remove programs?
I too have the same problem and i soft reset to properly uninstall anything.
You can use SKtools 2.3.30 at http://s-k-tools.com/ to uninstall any program you wish to
works well? thanks for the suggestion
Have noticed that after installing a few apps lately and wanting to remove them, there doesnt seem to have the application names listed within the Remove Programs in settings!...All my currently installed applications are visible but only those that i've installed over the past few days are not. I've had to manually delete entries withing the registry and program files to physically get rid of them. Any ideas. Thanks and apologies if I've missed this in another thread.
Had a similar case... I've installed a few programs.... Then try to install a new one. Installation completed, working but not listed in the removing list... And when I get another one out, magic, it appears.... Strange...
funny you mention it, ive noticed this in the last few days aswell, never had any of em reappear, but i can see em listed in registry just not in Activesync add/remove or on remove progams on the device.
Yep same problem not all programs delete via activesync 4.1
I installed several programms and uninstalled them using activesync 4.1 ... they dont uninstall, even when i ensure that nothing is running or linked..
They dont uninstall from device itself either so I had to manually delete them its a nuisance.
For some reason I am unable to install most apps on my 8125 now
A couple months ago I noticed that I couldn't get latest mortplayer to install. I couldn't even re-install the previous one I had been using.
Now I see the same problem on a lot of apps. Last week tried to update weather to go from rev 4.0 to 4.1, now neither work. Today I tried todayAgenda 0.9.50 wouldn't install, it removed 0.9.20. Now can't reinstall 0.9.20.
Error says "<program name>" cannot be installed. To try installing again to a different location....
I did install SuperDoku last week from a cab file and it worked.
I've tried using cab files and pc installs, device and storagecard. I have 8.8 MB memory free. Tried searching through registry and deleting relevant entries. Tried resetting, tried hard power cycle. Tried using CabInstaller from SK Software.
Any ideas for me to try???
Thanks!!!
I tried to install Bandswitch except for some reason it didn't work so I tried to uninstall it, it said that it was not completely removed and if I want to remove it from the list of installed programs, but the app still shows up in the uninstall list and I try to install the latest version it says it can't since there is a version already installed, it also tries to replace it but gives me an installation unsuccessful message.
Is there any way of completely getting rid of this and then being able to install the latest version.
sounds like you might need to hard reset unless you speak to the developer of the app you are having problems with.
unless... try installing the same version again?

Hi. You can use SK Tools to uninstall the app, and also use Memmaid to delete the shortcut(icon).
No hard reset needed
Windows Mobile can be a ***** for uninstalling apps. Usually if there is a process still running for the app when you try to uninstall it you will run into trouble.
Soft Reset between using an app and trying to remove it. Of course if the app loads itself on Start-up this will be futile
In this case it may be a Hard-Reset to fix the isue. Sorry.

Agreed, if you are using the "remove programs" option that comes with the phone, its not good.
I use Memmaid and it always removes it completely for me so as mentioned give that a go first before a hard reset.

Are you trying to uninstall via ActineSync/WinMODeviceCenter?
Do it from the phone and install by copying your cabs to the mem card and ruuning the installer from there.
Then you won't have a history of installed apps that builds up with AS/WMDC.
