Alright mate. Welcome to xda devs
Can you give us more info? You said that it said something was missing (I think I know what it was, but can you let us know what it actually said, just to be sure?) Once we know what it is, we can probably help.
And you ain't being thick. Just new

i had to restart my phone to factory settings as i couldnt get the file from the menu(can you help with this?) think it said that i needed a newer thing on my phone then it had

lol, not being funny but that isn't any more info than the first post.
we need actual details,
example "I installed core player but it gave the error "not enough bananas to complete"
just saying "its in that place where we put that thing that time" isn't enough info.

it's propably the .net framework you are missing... ver 3.5 should do... but you have to give more info when you have a problem, cause not everybody here should try to guess what's wrong with everybodys phone... we have also other things to do!... help to be helped... thats like a law!

ok i will re - put in on and get back to you all. but how do i remove the file from the phone? i try to do this but the pic of the file is still on the menu.
ok it says missingmethodexection
this app requires a newr vesion
ot the mircosoft.NET COMPACT
framework than the version installed on
the device

...and that's his edited version of the post...

Search for and install
NETCFv35.wm.armv4i.cab (there may be a later version available, but thats the one i use)
To instal .cab files, copy them anywhere on your phone (most people have a folder for cabs on their storage card in case they hard reset and need to instal them again) then run the .cab file from your phone to instal it.
As for the icon you have in your start menu that is left over from when you tried to instal it before, it should have been removed when you uninstalled teh program. If you just deleted the program, then that is why it was left over.
Open file manager, browse to windows/start menu and find the item you want rid of, , press and hold it and in teh menu that pops up choose delete. (Have to scroll down to find delete)

thanks sorted it

can't help you or tell you the reason because you are not giving enough details about what you are trying to install, what is going wrong. How are you trying to install. Exe or .cab files. are you just getting error's during the installation
i tried to install .cab & .exe , but it says install unsuccessful, for example SPB & Battery status
mmmm
On what ?... is the cab on the phone or on the PC ???????
i tried both , but i couldnt
You have the HTC Touch Elf right? No cabs at all are instaling on your phone.
Possibiliites:
1. The cab files are being currupted either while you are downloading them or while you are sending them to your phone. FYI Cab files are to be installed via your phone not PC. Transfer the complete cab to phone and just click it to install - Do Not Unzip it. (A cab file looks like it is a zip file or a rar file wen it is on your PC but don't be fooled. it is a cab and does not need to be unzipped) you will only see a bunch of messy files and will just get confuzed. just place the cab on your phone and tap it with your stylus to initiate install
Exe's are to be installed via your PC to your phone through activsinc. place the exe on your desktop (Or wherever) and connect your phone to your PC using Activsinc. Then click the exe on your desktop and follow installation instructions - NOte you will have to still do some clicking on your phone to allow the installation.
2. you are not installing them properly and therfore follow instructions above.
3. your phone is currupt somehow (I don't see how) Try a hard reset and see if the programs will install after that. if not, you might want to return your phone for warranty (I am assuming you just got this phone and this is the first time you are trying to install something.
4. Maybe you have run out of room on your device to install any more applications (if you have been installing tons of other stuff successfully)
I have never gotten any errors installing cabs or exe's exept for when I was trying to install something that my phone did not support. (Not a valid WM application) or something like that.
Edit: You still are not give us much information - What type of error are you getting - What does your phone show/tell you?
Does it start to install and fail half way through? does it not start at all? does it install and the programs just do not run?
Tell us what program you are trying to install - what error you are getting and when you are getting it. Tell us the method you have used to install it etc....
If you want help you will have to provide us with as much information and detail as you can. Otherwise - Good Luck.
I will check back here regularly to see your response and try to help, but if you don't give us much more detail - no one will be able to help you.
Did you flashed your ROM recently?
it start to install and fail half way through, but not all of the softwares , for example i cant install tcpmp,wm router , battery status , and alot of softwares , the error is always the same ( it start to install and fail half way through)

I don't know about battery status or wm router but TCPMP is an exe type installation. if you try to install this using your phone by putting the TCPMP installation on your phone and clicking to install, it won't work. You have to put the installation file on your computer, connect your device to your computer through activesinc. then click the TCPMP Installation on your desktop and follow instructions. Make sure you accept installation on your device when your device asks. The others may be the same
i did like that , but nothing changed , same message , install unsuccessful

Are you trying to install to your storage card or to device? Are you certain that you have enough storage space left?
Do you have any problems with Activsinc?
Have you tried downloading another copy of TCPMP - Maybe the copy you have is no good.
yeh , i tried on both storage and device memory , i have 1.5 gb remaining on storage also

I don't know if I can help you with this problem. I have never had any problems installing anything onto my device even when the app wasn't compatible. usually still installed, just wouldn't run. I am still using official stock WM 6.0 rom that came on my device. (have not ever flashed a new ROM or Radio and don't know anything about that. If you did flash a new ROM or radio, that could be what is causing your problems and you may want to examine in the thread where you got your ROM or Radio from for answers or to see if anyone else is having the same difficulties. Perhaps PM the person who cooked the ROM. If you havn't flashed any new ROM or Radio, then maybe you changed something in your registry that you shouldn't have with a registry editor (just a thought - don't know if you have ever done this) or maybe you have an app on your phone that is causing conflict when trying to install other apps. You can always try a hard reset of your device (if you don't mind starting from scratch again customizing your device) and then try installing TCPMP and see if it works right after a hard reset. That would suggest either something was changed in your registry or that another app was causing conflict. Bit of a pain in the a## having to reinstall everything(unless you don't have much installed on your device) and still no guarantee that it will work. Before doing a hard reset, you might want to look into backing up your device. (I don't know anyting about backing up - what program to use or how much it can back up such as setting or such but you might want to check it out. Also make sure you sincronize your device with your computer prior to hard reset so that all your contacts, appointments etc... are up to date that way after a hard reset you can just syncronize your device again and get your contacts and appointments etc... back.
If anyone else has any suggestions here -- Please feel free to jump in. I know that I would be really annoyed not being able to install new apps to my device.
Good luck. I hope this gets figured out for you

i had the same problem, it was unbelievably frustrating, i had to restore my X1i to factory settings, that fixed the problem.
I think you should follow hotrod101's suggestion and do a hard reset. Its quite likely that your phone has malfunctioned or something. It's probably going to save you a lot of work in the long run. Or turn in your device in one of the HTC service centers as already stated. Don't forget to back all your stuff up first.
Good Luck.
thanx alot
you did not say whether your rom is original or coked as i met some problems with cocked roms in installing arabic based applications that was easily installed before flashing me device
Did you get things figured out - If so please share with the rest what you did to solve your problem, in case others are having similar problems. Did one of our suggestions help or did you find another solution?
same problem on my Touch Pro, seams to be common ... some say that it is due to the fixed number (50 installed programs) on the touch flue ... however, I have no more information of how did they got this result, or what is the registry of this issue???
I hope if someone help on this to avoide us the headache cused by hard reset, just thinking about it make me crazy.
even hard reset is not a solution.

Htc keyboard on mytouch 3G

I am new to this forum, and i have been desperately trying to figure out how to get the htc keyboard on the generic cupcacke build that comes with the mytouch 3G. I know there is a method that involves rooting the phone, but i don't want to take a chance. I have come across another method that seems much easier:
download htc_ime.apk, put it on your sd card, download an app manager or file explorer from android market, use the app to doanload the apk on to your phone, go to local and text in settings and select touch input.
Does this method really work?
I had doubts because everyone seems to be using the more complicated method.
Yes any .apk file will work, does with me and I use Astro
Cheers
R.
Do you have to unzip the apk file before you put it on your sd card?

this method was discussed on the other thread, but the one person who ended up trying it out had problems getting it to work. that is why i made a separate thread to check if the process was valid and if would actually work.

its valid & works fine.. Jsut like the instructions in the other thread say.. I can personally vouch for that as I am using the HTC Compact Keyboard on my myTouch3g
Edit: also the 1 person who hasn't gotten it to work likely is just doing something wrong..
yeah pointless why start a new thread if you could have just gone to the other one and confirmed that it is working....
thanks for all the help. i guess i am kind of new to this stuff. i figured it would be easier to just start a new thread. by the way, why does everybody use the more complicated method(adb)?

Naw I'm positive I did it correctly I did it exactly like the OP in the other thread said he did it... I've rooted g1s and flashed roms so I think I have the bbasic knoledge needed to install an .apk, especially since I did the same thing two days before when I had to install the sherpa .apk

after you have the file on the card run the appmanager program.. when it comes up I had to choose menu & then Something that was obvious.. I dont remember what it was, but it was there.. & then simply install the apk file as listed.. Also make sure you have checked the bock to allow non marketplace apps..

well its installed on my mt3g i had to go to the phone settings then locale & text, then select touch input from there, then go back to a new message long click and select touch input there as well... but it work now and i like on the mt3g just as much as i do on my G1... and sorry im new here and im sure yall are pissed at me already lol
@c-phresh
i think i know what your problem is. when you download and extract the htc_ime.apk, it branches into two files. one is a .so file, and one is a .apk file.
The only file that you should use is the .apk. if you also put the .so file on your sd card, the whole process will go wrong at one point.
when i try to install the keyboard it keeps failing, also. when i try to install it at the top of the screen it says "abc non-word vibrate times" then asks me to confirm that i want to change a system setting, then fails after i try to install. i have a changed the settings to allow 3rd party apps to be installed. any thoughts? non-rooted phone.....

From your information on your post profile I would say your not working with a MyTouch3g since you have a Canadian flag & the rogers logo..
you would be correct. i was hoping that my version would be pretty similar to the mytouch3g, minus the horrible name
@hondaguy
the keyboard that we are all trying to obtain already comes standard on the rogers magic that you have. Look at images on first page.

Download it from here:
Code:
http://microsoft-net-compact-framework.en.softonic.com/pocketpc
Or get the .cab from MoDaCo, for a 2MB download, instead of a 33MB download.

nljuggler ; oooh yea, how could i forgotten tht? ofc i tried google.(not tryin to b mean) **ur 2nd comment** - naw no thxs
fitnessvip ; yea i tried this but i wasn't SURE how to activate it on the HD2. How i did it was save the file onto the destop then connect the HD2 to the computer then open up the Phone memory (NOT THE "STORAGE CARD") then just copy and paste the Framework into tht place.so then i thought i was done so then i disconnect it then press the start button and going to "File Explorer" and activate it from there but it doesn't work

Well that's how I found the result in my second post. If you should decide to download it anyway. Copy the .cab file anywhere on your phone (or storage card). Find it with the File Explorer on your phone and click it.
It will start the installation. I'm not even sure it's going to ask you where you wish to install it, but do select 'Device' if appropriate.

Yes, you can delete .cab files after installing them. Too bad the game gave you an error. What was the exact error?

But when do you get this error, as it would be very coincidental if you are referring to the same game as Hockey_Rulez11. Because he never mentioned the nam of the game.

I have also innstalled netcfv35, but have not done anything with this file after installing it.
In remove programs the program name is: Microsoft .net CF 3.5 so I think everything is ok, but if there is any thing you have to to after the installation I have not done that.

Completely Uninstalling programs

Sorry if there is an answer somewhere already, but I have been looking around for 20 minutes and I'm giving up and posting a thread. I have like five programs that won't uninstall when I go into the settings-->remove programs application. It comes up with a message that says "XXXX was not completely removed. Do you want to remove it from the list of installed programs?"
Has anybody had this also? How do I get it completely off my phone/get the memory back?
One more thing, I have a program called "AA AA" and I know for sure that I didn't install a cab with that name, so what the hell is it? I'm a noob with WinMo so sorry if it's simple **** haha.
Thanks in advance

For programs that say they didn't uninstall completely, the method I use to get them out is this:
1) run the cab again, the same one you used to install a/the app in the first place
2) when it gives you option or error dialogs, just click "ok" or "yes" to all of them, to allow it to go through what looks like another complete install process (yes, it's odd, but this is how to do it).
3) when it's done, soft-reset, and then you should find that there's no more trace of the app in your uninstall list.
Don't ask me how/why that works, but I've used it in many instances for just that reason, and it's worked every time I tried it.
As for that "AA AA" app, I've certainly never seen a cab that used that name (fyi, the name in the uninstall list doesn't necessarily match the name of the cab file...only if the person creating it set it up that way). So...I'd just say uninstall it, and see if any apps/links are missing then.
This thread is closest to my problem,so I'm asking here.
I cant uninstall ANY of my programs, I have tried the usual method from the remove programs section in Settings. I get same error as OP.
When that failed I then try to just delete the program folder from program files, using file explorer, but get an error saying 'Access is denied. Be certain the folder isn't in use and not write protected'
At first I thought I had a memory card problem, but its the same regardless of where the program is installed.
I also tried to re-install the programs from their cab files as described above, but get an 'unsuccessful' message.
I cant rename any files anywhere on my device either.
I know a little about write protection, but cant figure out what my problem is or how to fix it.
I hope I explained properly for someone to help.
Thanks.
It looks like that the installer process "wceload.exe" was not correctly quit and is still in the memory. Terminate the process wceload.exe with a task manager and try again.
Thanks ElectronX.
I did a search on my HD2 for the file you mentioned and couldn't find it. I have Duttys task manager installed and after a soft reset, the problem still remains. The task manager is empty of processes when I start the device.
Im sorry that Im a bit clueless to how to achieve what you suggest.
I have discovered that the problem extends beyond removing and installing programs. I cant do anything in file explorer other than open documents. If I want to move, delete, rename any file on the device I get the 'write protected' error message. I cant do it via active sync either..I connected to the computer and could browse my device, but if I tried deleting, moving or renaming, the message said it didn't have permission to do it.
Last resort is a hard reset, but hopefully someone will be able to help.
Use sktools to uninstall when windows fails. Best program ever...
Good luck
Thanks, but I cant install anything on my device...can sktools be run from my computer to fix the device?
Unfortunately not...
Good luck though..
